TTC - First time!

Ttc my DH said same about August due date & only cycle 2 for me so I consider myself incredibly lucky if I did get a BFP.

It's likely all my symptoms are related to this cold I have & the test was definitely a squinted so trying to talk myself down a little. I haven't even shown DH the test below.

That's interesting charley - thanks. I'm still way too early for a clear positive so holding out until Friday.

If no bfp this time round I will be getting some FRERs for next cycle.

Claire: it's possible you are ovulating late but also try a hpt maybe?

Amz26 i did a cheapie pregnancy test which was BFN (I couldn't help myself!) I've only just started tracking so not sure if there was one earlier In the month. Funny thing is I've had lots of weird symptoms (loss of appetite, waves of nausea, vivid dreams, two days of spotting earlier in the cycle, leg pains and a sore hip) which could be me thinking myself into It I suppose my cycles are all over the place so I'll just keep trying (partner isn't complaining!)

I've got my work Christmas party next week and will be anxious drinking if there's a possibility I'm pregnant... Paediatric nurses like to party and we don't get the opportunity very often!

Good luck to all still in the 2WW!

*claire I've heard of OPK being able to pick up a pregnancy! Maybe worth trying a pregnancy test? Did you get a clear OPK earlier in your cycle? X

Quick question... Took this OPK earlier and I thought I was in the two week wait... This seems to be getting darker and almost positive! I'm now completely confused... Could I be ovulating REALLY late (day 29)?

This is all so confusing!!

I think it still is really early for you twisted. I got another very white IC today. But I'm trying to think of it as say we implanted on day 7 and our HCG only doubles every 48hrs, then we would go-

7dpo - 1
9dpo -2
11dpo - 4
13dpo - 8
15dpo - 16

Therefore we wouldn't be getting any positives now and some people even take 3 days for their HCG to double, or don't implant up until day 12! I only have one FRER left so although I'm feeding my POAS obsession with IC, realistically the IC might not even show until 14dpo which is Friday for me so still hope for us!

charley I wish I'd seen your post about waiting until Wednesday to use your FRER before doing mine, your will power might have rubbed off on me!

Twisted I can definitely see blue on the bottom half of the window on that! Sending positive vibes to you!

Bad news for me I think - I caved in last night and did one of the FRERs that I bought - huge BFN . I know I was only 8DPO and even for a FRER that is probably too early (Google searching seems to suggest their "6 days before AF" claim is if you O on cd14, my O day was cd16 or even cd17) but I can't help but feel AF will be rearing her ugly head this month now. My symptoms are all but gone (still feeling nauseous this morning but that's it) which makes me think that the test was probably accurate.

DH is being logical saying we would have been very lucky in the first cycle, and that an August due date wouldn't be great for us work wise etc, but I'm finding it hard to be anything but disappointed at the minute.

Good idea if you're able to wait twisted

Charley a bubble bath always helps!

Amz I'm saving it until Friday as af not actually due until Monday xx

twisted I can see the second line at the bottom half of the test! Defo test tomorrow if you have that other test.. Make sure you let us know X

I'm bloody exhausted again, not even 9 and I'm in bed. Had a nice bubble bath which has eased my back at least

I've been feeling sick, dizzy & just generally unwell. Most likely a virus or something but you never know.

How are you doing?

Yeh I think that's definitely for the best! Hold off a few days so that the hormone can build up. How are you feeling?

No, I'm poor until payday next week. When I'm actually late DH will buy me one. Lol. I have one Morrisons one in my drawer which is pink line but I will at least wait until Friday on that. It's my work xmas party Friday eve so we'll see what happens then xx

Twisted I think I might actually see some blue on the bottom half of the test I don't like the blue line tests though! They are meant to be pretty unreliable at times. Can you get hold of a FRER? Eeeeek!!!

Now I've posted that I feel stupid...

Guys, I'm certifiably insance and I know it but does anyone see anything because I think I see a very faint line... it's a CB test & says can test 4/5 days before your period. I'm more like 7 so wishful thinking but I just feel so rotten so I caved xx

Hi Dixie, I don't have any experience with it personally but I have seen it on other threads so I know it's not impossible! I would do another one tomorrow, DTD today if you can just in case and then test again with HPT day after you are due just incase. I would think if it is just ovulation late though, your period will probably be late too.

Hello ladies.
I'm currently on CD26 of my usual 28-31 day cycle and got a very positive OPK.
Took a preg test as well because I had one left from my wishful thinking of first cycle! And that's obviously come up as a BFN.
AF isn't due until Sunday, just wondered has anyone else ever ovd this late in the cycle & AF has still come on time as normal?
Just add, I've been really teary, hate the taste of cutlery in my mouth & achey hips (haha definitely just writing down any moans as symptoms now)
Xx

No no not yet I'm trying to "take the relaxed approach" if that's at all possible lol!

Haha thanks dangle! Are you using OPKs or anything?

They deffo do charley! I was thinking exactly that the other day, how much I worried if I ever took it late or what not, now look at me haha!
I hope you manage to hold on to test! Sending you all my will power lol!!

When I came off of the pill back in May after 10+ years I had one period in June and that was it until I fell pregnant in August - I was told by my GP it can take upto 6 months for your body to regulate your periods and for them to come back.
Additionally, your chances of MMC are much higher if you start TTC straight after coming off the pill - they recommend 3-6 months before trying
