Good luck Bubba

Well I've seen the Dr. Saw a specialist in stress related illness who has signed me off for another 4 weeks Shock at least she didn't insist I had depression like the last Dr did!

BubbaNo1 · 18/11/2015 14:47

Ovulation day is tomorrow for me too Purple... Well we shall see... 1st month being off the pill so who knows what's happening.

Runner05 · 18/11/2015 14:33

Thanks Purple I'm trying Confused

Good luck heading into tww Smile

Runner sending big hugs your way and fingers crossed for Monday. Try to take it easy I know easier said than done.

I have been having clear Ovulation symptoms for a couple of days now. According to Ovia my main day is tomorrow.

KatOnATinRo0f · 18/11/2015 12:12

It's taken me literally 2 days to catch up on what's happened since my last check in!!

I'm 28 been off pill since end of august. Had 2 cycles since now on 2ww... Ovia says a cab test in 6 days and I think AF is due Tuesday/weds. Keeping everything crossed. Not too hopeful as no symptoms. I have
Has a small breakout of spots in my face but I doubt that is a sign.

KatOnATinRo0f · 18/11/2015 12:06

Adding myself to the new group!

Runner05 · 18/11/2015 09:15

Lol, it's ok. I'm not going to do any more testing until Monday. We're going to Bath on Friday for the night then we have the step troubles on Saturday and Sunday and it wouldn't be a good idea to test with them around so next opportunity will be Monday but today's test was a definite negative (any thought of a line was wishful thinking) so I'm not holding out much hope. Wondering it it was a chemical pregnancy as that would explain the couple of faint positives.

Anyway, more importantly I've got to go to the Dr's today to hopefully be signed off for another two weeks until they can get me into counselling. Scared they won't especially as we will find out what's really wrong with mum in the next two weeks and also what her life expectancy will be... I'm not expecting good news on that front either. Sad

Ni4444 · 18/11/2015 09:01

Runner I feel for you-the not knowing is so frustrating. Distract yourself with lots of nice things over the next few days. Don't listen to us if we're getting you worked up! Get the OH to lock up those pissy sticks until the weekend! Xx

shelbTa · 18/11/2015 07:53

It must be frustrating runner - as bergamot says though it's so early on.

Three days until AF typically goes, looking forward to to it clearing off!

Keeping everything crossed for you runner

Runner05 · 18/11/2015 07:20

Thanks ladies just grumpy and although I think I saw something on the test I'm not convinced it wasn't just line eye.

I'm just going to assume the witch is going to turn up on Sunday.

BunchOfBobs · 18/11/2015 06:54

Oh runner don't get disheartened. A faint line is better than no line. Wait to the weekend and fingers crossed for a darker line.

BergamotMouse · 18/11/2015 06:38

I think it probably is best to wait a bit longer runner. If it helps I don't think mine this morning is any different to yesterday's tests. I think the levels will be so low that it'll remain unclear for a few days yet. I bet it'll turn out positive but you just have to give it time.

Runner05 · 18/11/2015 06:22

That's it, I refuse to test again until I'm late!

I'm fed up of squinting at near invisible lines yes, I think there bloody was one again!! I'm not even going to remove the test strip to get a better look because I'm just fed up! If I was upduffed surely I should have had a clear positive today after all the squinted over the past few days so I am going to conclude that I'm not Sad grumpety, grumpety, grump, grump

Would you believe I haven't peed on a stick yet! Hoping this might be the month I have to!

I have the ovia app and I use it to track ovulation - I've just started temping - what's the difference with the ovia pregnancy one? Can you use it before you're actually preggers?

Ni4444 · 17/11/2015 21:01

Girls, you've been busy!! In many ways by the sounds of it!!

Stark thanks for reorganising us! That willy dance sounds a bloomin tease!!

Hi everyone,

Took me ages to catch up on this new thread!!! So excited for you bergamot and runner!!! I'm not entirely convinced it was AF arriving today as was only a small amount this morning and nothing since Confused

Stats
I'm 26, been wanting a baby since I was 15! Been with OH for almost 8 years and engaged for nearly 3 months. Been off chemical contraception for 2 months and am on CD 28 / 1 (unsure if AF has arrived today). First month of TTC but only decided half way through this month to start now as we were originally going to try after Xmas.

Will start DTD as much as possible after AF to try to get the BFP on 4weeks! X X

shelbTa · 17/11/2015 20:21

Ooohhh runner then yes I can see it! Should be stronger tomorrow? I'll be waiting with baited breath.
