I'm 3dpo. Done all I can this month so just the waiting game now to see if it's worked! Anyone else testing around 25th January?

Sorry to hear that lexi. How are you feeling now? Hope your period comes soon so you're starting a new cycle.

I bought some tests this morning but have asked DH to hide them somewhere in the house so that I won't be tempted in the week! Hoping that helps me, although I feel like AF is on its way - period-type cramps and my pants feel a bit wet so I keep going to the loo to check Sad. It's only my first cycle off the pill so if AF does come it'd be very early (my cycle would have been like 21 days).

Thats the problem of having them in the house... i only have a couple of ic which I know will be too soon and a superdrug one which is sensitive.. ill be gutted if its bfn and think I wasted it.. but clinging on that I would see a faint line.. grrr the tww

juliettetango · 20/01/2017 20:36

I'm due AF 25th! I'm having all the crampy feels last couple of days tho so I'm not sure I want to waste a test as I'm pretty sure I'm out for this month! Will see how tomorrow goes, I don't have any FRER in so may buy tomorrow.

lexilou86 · 20/01/2017 19:43

Anybody AF due 25th thats going to buckle and test this weekend?

MrsBosh · 20/01/2017 19:08

I'm in, if that's ok?
Only cycle 1 for me after coming off pill. No idea when/if I ovulated. Period 'due' on 27th but because it's only cycle 1 I'm presuming they'll be a bit messed up anyway. Have resisted the urge to buy any tests. But tomorrow is the day I'll buy a few and try to wait til 27th!
Good luck all.

Upforathird sounds like we are in a similar situation. I had spotting yesterday but it didn't come to anything so I tested this morning and BFN. Got a bit excited a couple of hours later when I looked at the test again and there was a faint line, but it's gone now so it was just an evap line.

Oh well, there is a glass of Wine with my name on it tonight!

carla test again and let us know how it goes!

Bows85 · 20/01/2017 17:10

Thanks for the reply upforathird. That does reassure me that a shorter lp doesn't necessarily point to having problems Smile
8dpo today and haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. Only time will tell...

Upforathird · 20/01/2017 08:36

Oh and I have just tested on an Internet cheapie at 9dpo (I know, I know...) and got a resounding BFN. No more spotting for the moment but its bid unusual for me to have on and off spotting before AF properly arrives

Upforathird · 20/01/2017 08:21

Carla, I'm sorry I can't tell from that photo if it's positive or not. I'd test again in a couple of days if I were you (or actually knowing me the next day!)

Bows - I've not tracked my cycles for long but yes have had a couple of shorter LPs. I have no advice on this - I used to have only about 10 days before I conceived my first DC and worried about it but I got pregnant and he's currently scoffing his breakfast right next to me.

Bows85 · 19/01/2017 22:19

Hi, I wondered if I could join...

I'm currently 7dpo and not really sure when AF will be due. Cycles are still a bit messed up since coming off bc.

Upforathird - could I ask u a question? I have seen that you said you sometimes have a 10 day lp. Does yours vary much? I had a 9/10 day lp last cycle and this worries me that I'll continue to have a shorter-than-ideal lp. Last month was the first time I had properly tracked ovulation etc so no idea if this is normal for me or not. Any advice you (or anyone else) can offer would be lovely! Smile
TIA x

PingusMistress · 19/01/2017 21:12

Hi ladies, I've come to join you as I'm due to test on Sunday. But had some spotting today so I think AF is on her way early, the mean old cow. Other people getting BFPs cheers me up though so I'm here to cheer you all on.

Carla, I think I might be able to see a faint line... seems promising. When is AF due?

carlajamie · 19/01/2017 20:40

Evening. I'm completely new to this group and I'm looking for some options. I've a pregnancy test and we're not sure if it's a positive or negative result. We're both thinking and hoping it's a yes 💜

Start of the two week wait - anyone else?
Upforathird · 19/01/2017 20:26

Ah user, it's not over yet. Also 39 is still young these days - I know plenty of people older that had their first older than that. It is all so disheartening though xx

OP posts:
stuckinny · 19/01/2017 19:45

User don't give up hope. We're almost the same age (I think just a month between us) and I too worry about not being able to get pregnant. I had a little scare last year and whilst at the docs asked him his thoughts. He seemed to think it would be possible. I'm trying not to think about it too much as stress causes the likelihood to decrease significantly. It is hard though.
Saying all that, DP and I had the what if it can't happen conversation this morning. Not something I'm ready to think about yet.

user1471496670 · 19/01/2017 19:34

I've tried and can't seem to change it...I hate it too!!
I think I'm somewhere between 6-9dpo but I don't chart my ovulation. Always had 30 day cycles then last month was 25/26 days and this month will be more like 23/24. Hence the ovulation confusion.
I just feel so upset.
I spent so many years married to the wrong man who didn't want kids and now I'm just over 3mths away from 39, finally with the love of my life and I know it's now going to be too late.

Upforathird · 19/01/2017 18:46

How many dpo are you user? (All these user names confuse me by the way - you totally need to get your creative juicy flowing and think of a name Wink)

user1471496670 · 19/01/2017 17:52

Just had some spotting so looks like I'm going to get AF early again for the 2nd month ☹️

Upforathird · 19/01/2017 17:13

If AF comes this month it gives me a bit more time to lose weight as I am FAT at the moment! Have always been quite slim and after having my second DC 2 years ago lost quite a bit of weight just through breastfeeding but in the second year of his life I continued having the extra calories needed to BF without actually BFing and I have packed it on! I'm the same weight as the day I had my second (albeit after giving birth but still..) Slightly concerned with being older now that it'll mean that I end up even heavier after having another and never shift it.

Also to add to that, I feel really unhealthy at the moment so feel like I'm not likely to get pregnancy for that reason...

Sorry a bit woe is me on the weight front there. Confused

user1471496670 · 19/01/2017 17:00

I have loads of cramping at the moment...had it for 2-3 days. Sure AF is on the way :(

passmethewine123 · 19/01/2017 16:57

Stuck I'm using FF to chart my BBT, I just got the free version. I know with the premium version you get chart overlays so you can see several of your charts in one so you can get a clearer picture of your temperature pattern. I'm not sure what other benefits you get though!

passmethewine123 · 19/01/2017 16:54

It's so hard, I'm 10dpo now. AF due on Monday, planning on testing Saturday morning but the tests upstairs are calling to me...I can hear them 😂

stuckinny · 19/01/2017 16:53

Oh no upforathird. I really hope it isn't AF

Assuming AF doesn't show her ugly head it's exactly two weeks today that I plan on testing. The countdown has started.

Does anyone use fertility friend? I used it for DC but that was 11 years ago. I was wondering if the upgrade was worth it?

lexilou86 · 19/01/2017 16:50

I was fine the first week but the 2nd week of the 2ww is the worst!! everyday is so slow!! I always think I can hold out testing early but always ever hopeful for that little faint line!! aaargh! and I'm desperate for payday too! cant even spend money to take my mind off it all lol
