kitkat mine looks like yours
Ill buy a digi today
I'm in shock

MrsNelis · 06/01/2014 09:27

Hi All,

It's good to see a few BFPs on here, it's quite reassuring to know all this stress might be worth it in the end.

This is me TTC #1 cycle #1 with BFP due on 19 January

I need some advice and opinions, I may or may not have ovulated yesterday, I had a few signs but the ovulation text came out negative. I have been obsessing a bit and doing tests twice a day. Yesterday morning the line was there but not as dark as the control line, which the instructions say is a negative. I redid the test later in the day thinking maybe it would be positive but the line was very faint again like it has been the last few days.

We did the deed but now I am worried about whether I ovulated and now if I didn't that I may have trouble conceiving. I'm obsessing about the whole thing.

I used the boots own brand ovulation tests this month but ordered some cheapies on the internet yesterday, I am thinking I need the expensive digital smiley face as worrying like this about whether I'm reading the test correctly really isn't helping things.

I'm trying to arrange some dog walking for today, just to take my mind off things as I don't work on Mondays.

Please say reassuring things.
C

Thanks everyone for the congrats - I think my profile is now public so should work now! Have been a trance since getting up this morning!

Sorry for all the people getting BFNs / AF. It sucks I know. Wishing you all luck in February though!

Rockin20s maybe try again tomorrow with a digi? x

rockin20s · 06/01/2014 09:19

The line is there but still faint. Not as faint as 2 days ago.

I'm kicking myself I throw away the fmu I thought I had got a bfn and throw it away. As I was washing my hands the line came up.

I tried to upload a photo but I'm only on my phone

EnglishGirlAbroad · 06/01/2014 09:17

Morning ladies,
Congrats kitkat, think u need to make your profile public for us to see your photo!

I've just done my hpt after my chem last week, was negative so now i can crack on with this cycle. Even though i knew i was losing the pregnancy it was still utterly crap to see the words 'niet zwanger' - (i'm in holland). On another note dh and i find the word zwanger hilarious!!
Onwards and upwards!

mama31 · 06/01/2014 08:12

Morning ladies!!! Congrats to all the bfp's I've missed! Wonderful news to start the new year!!! And good luck to all you other ladies waiting patiently...or impatiently like me for your bfp!!!

Well I'm having the usual tricks my body likes to play only really dragging it out this time! Got spotting on cd19 and cd20 which was early but still not highly unusual but then no spotting cd21, cd22 or so far on cd23. I do usually get about 4 days spotting before af and I know full flow is just around the corner as boobs are starting to get tender, but I hate that it's dragging in as I always get those pangs of wishful thinking even though I am certain that af is on her wicked way again!

Just wish she's show her face so I can get on with the next cycle!!!!! Sorry ladies.....this is like groundhog day from me each month! :/

PetiteChouette · 06/01/2014 08:05

Congrats Kitkat.

BFN for me this morning at 13DPO. So I'm out this month.

(Off for a sulk til the Feb bus comes alongHmmConfused)

spinningirl10 · 06/01/2014 08:00

Doctor.....pleased you enjoyed the trip. The running sounds good. I used to run but got an injury so cycle and gym for me now. I'm concentrating on fitness at the moment to keep me from obsessing about ttcGrin

JustMarriedBecca · 06/01/2014 07:59

Congratulations kitkat!!

Moffit....we must be around the same day to test (think will hold out for another week until 12 DPO). I've also had almost constant cramps, as well as a metallic taste in my mouth and have gone totally off chocolate and sweet things. I also feel sick every time I bend over. However, am worried that is just a normal cold or giving up caffeine as Dr said that it might take a while for us to conceive and don't want to get hopes up. Doesn't stop the desperate hoping though does it?

RetroHippy · 06/01/2014 07:48

Gosh, there's a lot of us!

Managed to persuade DH last night to give it a go now rather than waiting for February. It's perfect timing too unless I get another 50 day cycle like last month Hmm so we'll keep at it, hopefully bfp should be due by the end of the month!

toots123 · 06/01/2014 07:42

Morning all.
hope everyone is well?

would anyone like to go to work for me? :(

Im still in limbo. No idea when af will be here and bfn's.
Pretty sure I ov'd on 17th Dec but now doubting myself due to late af...

DoctorDonnaNoble · 06/01/2014 07:40

Excellent Kit Kat!
Beer trip was fab. Would actually have been rubbish if I'd been pregnant still. I'm focussing on my running training at the moment and blogging about that to take my mind of the 2ww!

spinningirl10 · 06/01/2014 07:24

Woohoo Kitkat CongratulationsGrin

Doctor.....how was your beer trip away, hope you had a good time.....fx you get your bfp soon!

MrsF2510 · 06/01/2014 07:22

Congrats kitkat - how wonderful!!! Moffit that does sound promising! :) x

KitKat1985 · 06/01/2014 07:18

Think I've managed to upload pic! Not very good at this sort of thing! xx

KitKat1985 · 06/01/2014 07:07

Woke up 6.30am did IC. Line still faint but clearer than yesterdays. Decided to crack open the digi. It's confirmed it. And it's a Sainsburys test not a CB one which isn't as sensitive (said not to test until period due) and this is early testing but came up with pregnant in about a minute! I'm completely shell shocked. Will try and upload pics if can figure out how! xxx

DoctorDonnaNoble · 06/01/2014 06:46

Congrats to all the bfps I missed. According to my tracking app, AF is actually due on the 12th Jan, I remain doubtful as it's my first post-MC cycle.
I just want to be pregnant again.Hmm

Moffit · 06/01/2014 06:31

Morning ladies, I never usually symptom spot, but...........at what stage can you get implantation pains? I'm sitting here this morning (5 days po) with a cramp, low down on my right side and just had a wave of nausea! It could of course just be the early start, and no breakfast?

Tigsy · 05/01/2014 23:13

Just catching up and wanted to say congratulations to the new BFPs! Hope there will be plenty more in the next few weeks. I'm hating my first 2ww- it's torture!

barmybunting · 05/01/2014 23:04

My cycles are all over the place since I came off the pill. For the last 4 cycles, I seem to have ovulated around cd23, but had chem pregnancy last cycle which knocked dates a bit so I'm not sure! Everything else seems to be showing ovulation just now but I don't understand why it's happening twice in a cycle. Once so far this cycle, but it's happened again after this. No idea! I have heard of ovulation spotting, spotting is a better term than bleeding for it I think but I still have no idea what's going on!

rockin20s · 05/01/2014 22:48

How long is you full cycle? It seems late to be ovulation

Cybercat · 05/01/2014 22:43

I could be wrong but Ive not heard of ovulation bleeding but it could be implantation?

barmybunting · 05/01/2014 22:22

Can anyone help with info on ovulation bleeding please? Anyone else experience this?

For the last two months I've had spotting twice during my cycle, the first around cd21, then in Oct again on cd25 and Nov cd32. I'm cd20 today and have just noticed spotting again, ewcm and ovulation pains seem to coincide with this being ov time. opks in previous months also seemed to go with the first dates. But what would the second lot later in my cycle be? Last month it may have been delayed ov, but I don't know what would have caused the first lot. I thought ovulation bleeding only occurred when egg was released so can it occur before ovulation which is then delayed? I'm confused!!

Gingerpanther27 · 05/01/2014 22:20

Lh- get asda cheapies tomorrow for fmu Tuesday or frer Tuesday for Wednesday fmu?

rockin20s · 05/01/2014 22:13

I really wanted to test this morning to lh but I had a really early Nd busy start so that kept my mind off it. I haven't tested since as I know its very early to test with non flu.

I normally have sore boobs 6-11dpo but this month nothing. I'm appetite has really increased I'm hungry every two hours and I feel more tired then normal, but that could be because of all the rich food over Christmas. I'm trying not to symptom stop but its so difficult.

I have a IC and a Tesco brand ready for the morning!!!!!
