Hi I'm TTC my 2nd baby n so far 4 failed attempts! :( thought it would be nice to share experiences with others TTC and then hopefully celebrate with ppl when they get their BFP! AF is due tomorrow for attempt no. 5 so keeping my fingers crossed! How long have you been trying?? X

sitting waiting to go to dds parents night (running 40 mins late so far!) and I'm getting lots of cramps. clutching at straws that it maybe implantation or something. Anything other than impending AF. Sad

test test test!!!

if your getting the cheap ones id recommend alice ovulation tests, they show bolder lines than the one step brand ones. I got them on ebay

toothachereturns · 11/03/2014 17:58

I don't think I can wait until Saturday. Theres a clear blue (not digital) burning a hole in my bathroom cupboard! Wink

are any of you using the clearblue digital ovulation tests? im not sure whether to try them or stick with my Internet cheap ones next cycle

sleepisforthetired · 11/03/2014 15:36

Its so much easier to say relax than actually do it!

I think I ovulated today - so this is the start of my 2ww - jeeezze going to be a long couple of weeks - AF would be due on payday, so at least there is one thing to look forwards to that day...

If no bfp, going to use OPK next month!

Gah! - I'm just frustrated at myself that we actually got caught up in the being more aware of cycles (looking for a nice way to put it!) and seems to have just lead to more confusion! DP is ultra helpful... comments like "I thought you said stress doesn't help" Hmm

The ovulation calendar said 10th - 14th as fertile times, last DTD 9th and 7th

Im worried we have missed this month and definitely feel what I think must be ovulation pains this morning, plus have had a headache for 2 days now :(

Toothache, best of luck for Saturday!

1love - sorry about bfn

Hi sleep,

Sorry I don't really know the answer to your question. Id just be asking google like u have!

Toothache when I was pregnant with my dd I got mild cramps right through the first trimester! First I though AF was about to come and then when I knew I was pregnant I use to worry I was having a miscarriage however I read up on it and the cramps are just you womb adjusting ready to grow baby! The cramps feel the same as its all stuff going on in the same place. It's fustrating cos so maybe pregnancy symptoms are also symptoms for AF. X

Doh! !! just realised what you meant by symptom spotting. I'm being dense.

toothachereturns · 11/03/2014 10:40

Hi there, could the spotting be implantation?

toothachereturns · 11/03/2014 10:39

I'm still aiming for a Saturday am test if I can hold out that long! I'm getting mild cramps tho.... Sad

sleepisforthetired · 11/03/2014 09:47

Hi - sorry to gatecrash... hope this is ok

We are TTC #2. Have only recently been monitoring, but hadn't been trying to prevent for a while with no joy.

Can anyone answer a quick question - Symptom spotting for ovulation - when is it too late? Have been driving myself mad trying to find an answer online, but think I am being a bit dense.

Can anyone explain when its a green light and when its a sign to start the 2ww?

Thanks Smile

Claire I say test firstly thing in the morning as that's when AF is due. Ur only gonna stress urself out all day tomorrow otherwise and first thing urine is best! What's the price of a test for piece of mind eh?

clairewright32 · 10/03/2014 20:19

1lovemyPrincess it was clear blue plus hopefully AF does not come tomorrow will wait a few more days then test again xx

littlemisswine · 10/03/2014 19:55

make sure its the early one if you do, I got the fast response by mistake and its nowhere near as sensitive. amazon and boots sell them

toothachereturns · 10/03/2014 19:53

Ooooooh I think I might get a frer!

littlemisswine · 10/03/2014 19:44

a test called first response early response.

ive got that, a clearblue digital and loads of the cheap strips so im fully prepared!
