TTC - First Time! (2)

I used one of those for the first time this month and got the smiley face on the second day of testing. I don't know if it works any better than the other OPKs but I like the fact that it gives a more definite Yes or No answer instead of making you squint at the lines on a stick. I feel like it helped me relax a bit more when TTC

True!! Every day of wait is a day IN the game 🙌🏼
I'm doing ok thanks chick, very bloated myself at the mo, and being 6w it's defo not a bump but God tummy looks huge 😭 hopefully it will go down before it goes up again haha.
Mrsjkerry's new thread is a success, it's smaller than the big pregnancy boards and very friendly so can't wait for everyone from here to come over!

Hey Misty how's it going? I had to laugh when I looked at that symptom website cos omg am I ever BLOATED at the moment!!!! Seriously I look like I'm 6 months pregnant or something. But I think I always get a bit bloated before AF (I think...Dunno!)but I was literally thinking on the train earlier MAN my stomach looks ridiculous! Ha!

Getting a bit bored of this 2WW now but also I am happy for it to continue if it means AF doesn't rock up and it's game over IYSWIM!

Hey girlies, hope you're all well :)
Just thought I'd give some of you symptom spotters something to focus on!!
Hope you find it helpful!!

Welcome tessapop!
How did you find your first month tracking? I really hope your symptoms lead to a BFP x

Oh wow you are very disciplined! I'm incredibly impatient at the best of times so I've already ordered 20 x hpts from eBay! I'm thinking I might test from 11dpo?

Not planning to test unless/until AF is late! Personally I don't see the point of testing earlier than that although I know a lot of others do just that!

What about you?

Are you planning to test soon pibbee?

It's weird getting used to tracking all this stuff isn't it!

You're right at the start of the waiting game then.... I'm nearly at the end of mine! If no bfp this time then onto cycle 3...

Hi pibbee I've just double checked my calendar and I've been a donut lol, my af is due March 21st!

Welcome tessa! Do you have a long cycle or ovulate early? As I am 8dpo so only 3 days more than you but my AF is due in just a few days!

Hi mrsjkerry, 4dpo wow so early! I've been feeling really hot and I had a weird full feeling in my uterus yesterday, but thinking I'm just over excited as first month trying

Hi guys do you mind if I join? I've been a lurker for a while but have just joined as it's our first cycle ttc! Currently 5dpo and already driving myself mad lol. Do you think it's really possible to have symptoms soo early? AF not due until March 26!

Nothing at all!!! Am 8dpo and AF is either due on Sunday or early next week (depending on whether my random 25 day cycle last time was a one-off or not!) I don't really have any cramps or anything. And the usual brown spotting I get a few days before AF isn't here, but dunno what that means if anything!!

I shall do pibbee! Thank you :) anything to report from you?

That's so annoying Nebula! Definitive go back if no change in a week or so.

Happy Friday all!!!!

Ttcnovice I know I don't find it fair that they have just left me to get on with things but If I still don't see af in another weeks time I'm going to ask for further tests. 10 days late today and counting

Mrsj lets hope it brings me the same luck as it did for you then . TMI but did you just use it as normal lube, or did you get the applicators?

I was given a CB opk kit the other day, the one with the smiley face. Are they better than the OS opk?

Any advice for the next cycle useage

Definitely ttc and march was my cycle 5 (of proper trying!) so it's a lucky one!!x

Twisted I'm drawing on my new positive attitude and saying cycle 5 will be our BFP month! I've just ordered some conceive plus (used preseed last month but I didn't like the applicators) so I'm raring to go now! Just need AF to bugger off! How are you feeling today? Hope you enjoyed the wine, I had pate earlier because I'd been avoiding it just in case and it's my favourite .

Thanks mrsj I like that! It's a really good way of thinking of day one AF!

nebula that's strange! Sorry you didn't get any answers. Can you book an appointment and ask if there's any other investigations they can do? Seems a bit off for them to just leave you to get on with it!

Misty glad you're sticking around on here, keep sprinkling that baby dust . Hopefully we'll all be able to join you soon over on mrsj's pregnancy thread 🤞🏼.

I know jellybean it's crazy! If I don't come on in another week I'm going to ask for a scan because if I'm not blessed with a little bean then obviously something somewhere is wrong but we shall see! Af might still show her ugly fave for me yet, I didn't get a BFP until I was 6 weeks last time though which is making me doubt thing! Crazyyyy! I see you haven't missed your window either! I hope you succeed and conceive (no rhyme intended haha)
