Who wants to buddy up?!

I feel so yucky today :( really super crampy and dizzy, just like before you start AF I've still been doing ov tests as I'm not certain I did ov around Cd12. I Did one yesterday that was completely negative and other one but a different brand in the evening which was quite dark, so confusing, yet today's there was barely a line there, it was so faint :( my Cycle is around 34 days, so I should (in theory) ovulate today hmm

Welcome- wellthen, I started a multi vit this cycle, with folic acid etc in :)

Nicky, could you have ovd before u started opk'ing do u think?? X

Wellthen welcome, I've just been taking folic acid. Also felt ready for quite a while, just acase of waiting OH to catch up lol xx

Hello all. Hoping to start ttc #1 in August -its lovely to know there are more out there feeling like me! Been waiting for a long time like some of you and I can't quite believe its nearly here! Gonna start taking prenatal vitamins soon and I've been working on trying to get fit for a while. Its slow going but I do think my stamina and strength are better.

Anyone else taking supplements?

I've had another neg this morning so I'm totally confused....haha

ANother negative opk this morning, so I might be issie. One app says I ovd Friday my other says its tomorrow. Still bd'ing eod just to be sure. What day are u aiming to wait for issie to test? Is everyone testing then an not just waiting for a missed/late af?:-)

This is day 4 of my tww now- eek! I promised myself I wouldn't test early this time but I've just done the weekly online shop and couldn't resist adding some of the expensive HPTs to my order, the ones that you can use from 6 days before your missed period. Gonna try really hard this month though!!

How's everyone else getting on? Anyone else definitely in their tww now?

Well either way he won't be going straight to sleep tonight that's for sure lol
we managed yesterday and if manage tonight and maybe tomorrow we may cover it.

will still keep doing ov tests over next few days too x

*see it.

Some women get it for days at a time, before and after ovulation. The way I see it, it's fertile cm and helps aid the sperm, so it can't help dtd whenever you are it

Ooh better make sure other half is ready tonight lol â?º

little knew sleeping at grannies so no excuse

could it still mean ov is imminent even though neg test this morning?? x

Clear and stretchy Cm is fertile cm, it helps aid the sperm swim where it needs to go so get baby dancing lol

I also have bit of discharge today....clear and stretchy.

could this be a sign that things are about to develop or have been and gone?? x

I will be cd16 today....so maybe because my body is trying to regulate it's self it maybe slightly longer cycle???

Ooh this thread has gotten much longer since I last checked it.

No ttc for me for at least the next month as I've just remembered I've never had an mmr jab! (was toddler abroad) so I'll have to go get that done in the next few weeks.

I could be in my two week window if I did ov on CD13/CD14 (wed or thurs), which would make sense for a 28 day cycle. Or I could still be yet to ov? Who knows? Ive also felt nauseas two mornings this week, and really headachey and tired today after a good sleep. Think its probably more down to caffeine withdrawal (limiting to 1 a day) and dtd interfering with sleep time though! But I hope its not!! Also felt bloated and full after smaller amounts of food than normal. Think im clutching at straws to be honest with that one though lol! This ttc malarky does do funny things to your brain doesn't it!! Anyway will keep on with the opk's and see what happens.

Hi everyone

Violet, I was on the pill for 10 years before having my first dd and I found that one kind of pill made me really down and depressed, so bad I had to switch!

I'm about 3 days in to my 2ww and trying not to symptom spot- I've been convinced I'm pregnant every cycle so far and haven't been. Saying that...have been really tired and head achey plus nauseous in the mornings the last few days...though this may be more due to caffeine withdrawal than anything else!

Anyone else have symptoms?

Really hoping this month is the one for us, feel like we've been trying for ages and it's hard. Although I don't know whether our first 3 cycles count as we were accidentally using lube with spermicide in I know, I know, we're idiots!!

I think I'm addicted to poas, I did another opk around 30 mins ago and it was negative again, according to my app I'm supposed to ov tomorrow too lol

Brooke113- you sound like me. My OPKs go from no line to lines that gradually darker over the course of about 5 days, then all of a sudden I will do a test and get a strong, dark line almost instantly, as which point I assume that is 'peak'. The day after my strong positive I will usually have a test where the test line is about the same as the control line, and eventually they taper off and get less obvious the closer I get to the end of my cycle.

I'm 7 days into my first TWW and am symptom spotting like mad like somehow if I convince myself that I feel nauseous/my boobs hurt that it will somehow make me magically pregnant. Am definitely going to wait until my period is late to test as I'm due on on Friday, so would like to test Saturday morning if need be and share that with DH. It will be my first ever pregnancy test and I'm looking forward to sharing that with him, no matter the result

What cd are you nicky? Maybe tomorrow will be the day :)

I can't comment on feeling different after coming off contraception as we were using the withdrawal method, my body doesn't react very well to the hormones in contraceptives.

Well just tested and it's still negative

who knows what my boys is doing x

I've felt better since coming off the pill, more positive in mood, can't say ive noticed any physical changes though. Another negative opk this morning! :( Nicky - was Issie right? Is today the day? x

the clear blue ones do seem to be the best...I'm using some cheap ones at minute and they take ages to get a reading!!! altho it didn't help dipping the damn thing in the wrong way the first time lol....made sure I read instructions right next time.

anyone else feeling a tad funny after stopping the contraception??

I've been feeling dizzy and really tired and needing to wee loads... I think it's more in my head than actually anything...overactive imagination x

Violet- leading up to the Saturday result result, they were getting darker by the day. If I don't get a bfp this month then.I think I'm. going to invest in the clear blue ones, they sound easier to read ;)

Brooke - what were the opk's like leading up to saturdays? Im sure ive read that everyones different in terms of the darkness of the lines that they get. Im using the clear blue ones - much simpler! its a circle (low fertility) and flashing smiley face (high fertility) and a static smiley face (peak fertility).

On another note is anyone symptom spotting yet? Regardless of being in the tww or not!!
