Hello. Im currently 3-4 DPO (days post ovulation) with AF/BFP (Aunt Flo/Big Fat Positive) due 22-25th Feb! Did plenty baby dancing so fingers crossed and have promised myself not to symptom spot or go Google crazy this time. Ive also swore not to test until 18th Feb ... Do i have anyone in similar place so we can support each other and talk (while avoiding google lol) xx

nature I'm so hoping that your doc is wrong my lovely. Have everything crossed for you.

pingu very annoying about the frers. Tomorrow morning!

OnNaturesCourse · 19/02/2017 14:44

pingus i can see it, just! So annoying you cant get FR test! Everything crossed for you! Im still waiting on AF after my GP said i was likely out for this month so i still have a tiny glimmer of hope that im mentally beating down with a stick!

Afternoon ladies,

Pingu yes, yes I see the line! Hopefully it'll get clearer over the next couple of days.

apple your post made me laugh. I agree that when we're at the stage of discussing our cycles and ewcm we've probably passed the stage of too much information! Grin. I am so close to caving it's untrue. apple you are keeping me from hot footing it to Boots and clearing their shelves of FRERS!

Xx

I don't really have any symptoms, which is making me think maybe this month is not for me. Then again I've been having vivid crazy dreams which I had before. Come on already 24th.

OnNaturesCourse · 19/02/2017 14:40

apples no worries, i agree that this is a safe place to discuss everything from the weather to bodily functions!

Thanks appleseed, I've looked again and there is definitely a line there but only time will tell if it is an evap or not. Daylight pic attached. Just walked to the local shop in search of FRERs but they don't stock them Sad

Your symptoms sound very promising!

Good morning ladies!! Grin

Pingu my screen may be totally crap and photos never really show the real deal when it comes to squinters (annoyingly!! Like cameras can never capture a good sunset!) so I too am squinting much like you! but perhaps wait and do another test in two days time and hopefully it'll be a stronger line :) as I've mentioned before mine was a squinter at CD30 and you also may have ovulated 3 days late this month. AF still hasn't showed, I've got everything crossed for you! xx

Nature thank you for your honest answer! I get concerned that if anything is 'cooking' in there I might dislodge it in the act lol! Sorry that sounds absolutely terrible and tmi but I'd like to think on a board where we openly discuss and compare cervical mucus this could be ok.. Blush

teaandbics for the first time last night I seriously nearly caved in to POAS! I had to talk myself out of it, it's too early!! Might as well wee on a £5 note! But then again the new fivers are wipeable so that metaphor doesn't quite work anymore Hmm

Things with me, I've been getting cramps the last two days and then had one sharp short cramp last night and I've woken up today feeling like someone's punched me in the ta-ta's and feel a bit sick.. I'm going to tell myself that it's probably all in my head and wishful thinking. I tend to do that as a defence mechanism where I'd be prepared for a BFN or pleasantly! ;)

Asides from that what a beautiful sunny day!!

PingusMistress · 19/02/2017 10:01

*evap!

PingusMistress · 19/02/2017 10:01

Ok, so I just went back to the test and I thought no I see the squintiest of squinters. Am I going mad? Might be an Evan but it looks a bit pink.

PingusMistress · 19/02/2017 08:50

BFN here again. CD29, which is when I got my BFP with DD, so I suspect I may be out. Although I did ovulate three days late this month. Damn that slim thread of hope!

nicnacnew · 18/02/2017 23:10

pingu both said they were 25mlu, both from same sample, not fmu though. Will try again on morning.

PingusMistress · 18/02/2017 21:28

Yay Rufus! That is brilliant, shows just how little doctors know Hmm

nicnac it might depend on the test sensitivity and whether you use FMU or not. I know clear blue digis are less sensitive than a lot of tests, was yours a digi? Maybe try a FRER?

nature sorry you have had a crappy couple of days. I always think those nice people like you that start these threads deserve a bit of extra luck and baby dust. Hoping things improve soon.
At least many of us will be in the TWW together again which makes it a bit more bearable!

I've got my test in the bathroom waiting for tomorrow morning. Had a stitch today for the first time in months, I got them all the time when I was pg last time. But I suspect that is just coincidence/wishful thinking/walking up a big hill...

nicnacnew · 18/02/2017 17:49

Congrats Rufus Smile

PurpleTygrrr · 18/02/2017 17:33

Woohoo! That's great Rufus! Congrats!!!
Hopefully a few more of them in the coming weeks! Xx

nicnacnew · 18/02/2017 16:50

Wondering how two tests which say they are same sensitivity can show diff results with same sample. Ic showing faint line bit clear blue showing nothing. Anyone else had this? AF due tomorrow so going to wait before testing again.

BumpleLeeds · 18/02/2017 16:49

Congratulations rufus! Glad to finally see a positive!!

BumpleLeeds · 18/02/2017 16:48

And I'm out. Wine for me tonight then!!

Ha, we have a week or so off. Our house is so busy that it's difficult to fit dtd in anyway. That's one of the reasons we're using the OPK this time - need to know exactly when to get going Blush

teaandbics · 18/02/2017 16:48

rufus woo hoo! Congratulations!

apple who knows. At least it means I have a reason not to test yet. But my hands are twitching Wink. Your question made me laugh as I'm thinking, am I in the 2ww or am I back in fertile week and starting again? Poor DH! Xxx

OnNaturesCourse · 18/02/2017 13:47

DP and i do, but not as much 😂 we go back to "normal" which is 1-2 times a week.

appleseedpip · 18/02/2017 10:56

AH RUFUS!! Huge congrats!! What a sight to behold :) Your follicles were ripe and ready!

Nature that sounds grim :( hope you get plenty of rest Flowers

Bumple not out yet ;)

teaandbics never really understood the whole OPK results thing to be honest :S perhaps another egg is being released?? You never know? and actually for that matter.. This could be quite a personal question but do any of you have sex in your 2ww?? I'm never quite sure what to do then :S In all honesty I think DH is grateful for the little break after I throw him about the room during ovulation Blush..

OnNaturesCourse · 18/02/2017 10:27

I think he may have been wrong rufus... 😀💗

12PO, Dr thought this was a failed Clomid cycle as follicles too small

Morning all,

apple I'm suitably admonished! Am backing away from the hpts (but am still in "am I seriously ovulating again??" hell as clearblue is still flashing at me. So my poas addiction is being soothed by using the opks!).

Yes please to sticking together next month seeing as we're all synchronised.

emsler have you broken or still being good?

There are some tests today aren't there? Exciting!

nature what a rotten day. I'm so sorry. Sending you FlowersBrewCake.

Xx

OnNaturesCourse · 18/02/2017 00:06

GP thinks i have a grumbling appendix 😕 today was not a good day. We definitely need to stick together through our next month!

OP posts:
BumpleLeeds · 17/02/2017 18:22

Another bfn this morning. AF not officially due until Monday though, so I'm still hoping!

appleseedpip · 17/02/2017 16:51

Hello hello I'm here! Apologies for not being around the last day or so.

First off as Teaandbics says for the ladies who tested bfn and are still to get their AF, the fat lady has not sung yet! I remember previously I tested on CD 30 and got the faintest of positives (I reaaaallly had to open my eyes and stand in the back garden daylight to see it..) but it was there! I tested again 3 days later and got a strong BFP instantly. So things can still take some time to show up. and for that matter Nicanew and Koolkoala I hope it's a strong BFP for you two when you test again in a few days time :)

For those who have their AF, sorry this month hasn't been the one but please try not to feel deflated, I know it's easier said than done but it's better to stay positive. Having you all on this thread has been a fun exciting highlight
for me and a thing I look forward to reading and catching up with each day. A big thank you to Nature for creating it at the perfect time :) Can we all 2WW and AF it together again next month please seeing as we're all in sync together?? Lets stay strong together girls!

AJE84 your cramping and spotting could have been implantation? especially at 8-10 dpo? As I said earlier not out till AF arrives!

Emsler! Teaandbics! (shakes you both by the shoulders) get a hold of yourself girls! Step away from the tests!! I'm still thinking my AF isn't due till the 23/24th it's too early to tell.. Though my house is tidier than ever and I've organised everything.. even organised DH's many different types of unpaired black socks.. That's what 'distracting' yourself from testing does.. but honestly I'm determined to wait it out till AF arrives or test on the 24th! (looks at calendar) that a wonderfully long 7 days away..

In terms of symptoms, yesterday I wanted to vomit HARD whilst DH drove us to the shops BUT there were a lot of roundabouts.. haha!

Also about people asking when will we have a baby etc. I tend to throw my head back in laughter and shrug it off with 'OH goodness we're not mature enough for that yet? We're just a couple of toddlers ourselves toddling about the house!' and take a huge swig of wine. I also HATE the idea of people knowing that we'd be 'trying'.. AhhH!!!!
