Jumping on the crazy train for the first time... ALL ABOARD FOR THE 2WW!

Waiting have you gone to see the doc yet? Will they do another test and then tell you where to go from there?

Hellsbells - hows things your end?

Thank you hellsbells i am currently doing one everyday still waiting for the second pink line but doing BD regular to increase our chances

@LMX0 I used opk from around atleast 10 days before I'm due to ovulate. I have long cycles and use an app to predict but ovulation is basically 14 days before next period is due. I then test daily until I get pink strip making sure I BD at least once every 2-3 days. Moving to everyday as pink strip gets brighter. Hope that helps!

I am the same atm i looking out for any wee sign lol

Out of interest, any signs or symptoms of ov without using an OPK? I'm CD18 and have had masses of EWCM today (soz, tmi) - reckon thats me ov?

I'm trying not to put too much pressure on myself but it's so hard isn't it?! My DP is totally on board but completely unaware of my crazy 😂

Brillant thank you waiting!! Hope your keeping well!!

Is clue good? I might give it a go sorry but what does OPK mean?

I started paying a bit more attention to pains and extra cervical mucus during the months after I got my implant out.
Then I installed Clue and it predicted a date which pretty much matched with what I thought for previous months. This month the date it predicted and the date that I think I ovulated was about a day out. Although I've agreed with myself that if it hasn't happened this month or next, then I'll use OPK in September for a more accurate prediction.

Why isn't it just simpler one pain for AF another for implantation and another for your preggers!! A lot of people don't get any signs/symptoms of implantation.

Also how did all you lovely ladies find out when you were ovulating? Did you do tests? How often? Any advice would be great 😊

I'm with you. I feel so ultra-aware of everything going on in my body and I'm questioning everything. It's really not helpful though.
I'm around 8dpo so I don't know if it's really realistic to be experiencing many symptoms yet. Even if I did conceive it probably hasn't implanted yet.
I told DH last night that I didn't think I was preggo and he wants to use one of the boots sperm tests. I think this is a bit premature, this is our first month trying and we don't even know for sure that it hasn't taken yet. The reviews also look very mixed.
Currently having pains in my stomach but I'm pretty sure that's more to do with wolfing down my dinner!
WTF do implantation pains even feel like?

Haha hellsbells I know what you mean with never noticing pms as much as when you are TTC! The first month we only DTD one time (a bit too late for it to be possible) and I was sure that I was feeling things I hadn't felt before!

Do cramps mean AF? I'm confused. Cramps BUT nauseous??!

Sorry to hear that flame :(

The flame - awww heres hoping next month will be your month!! Sending some baby dust your way and all the ladies testing this weekend!!

I've started spotting and am getting crampy, so the 99% side of me was right.

I've already ordered some cheap ovulation tests from amazon to make sure I'm on track for next month.

Good luck to those still to test! x

Hellsbells - i totally agree with you!!! Today i possibly think it could be OD i can smell everything and few other signs without TMI 😂

Waiting - it's nice having you wait to see who's going to join you and see what fate belies us all!! Keeping fingers crossed for everyone. I feel nauseous but crampy (and cranky) so think it may be AF but know in my heart I'm hoping it's not. Do you think trying amplifies all these pmt symptoms - I'm sure I never noticed them before as much?! Xxx

The flame you never know!! Could be your month!! But i agree wait until tomorrow/saturday just to make sure

if nothing today then tomorrow morning.

my cycles have been 27 or 28 days for the last 6 months (vaired more before that as I came off the pill). Today is day 29, but I often start afternoon / evening, so I'm not counting myself as late untill the day is over.

The flame - heres hoping AF doesn't come when are you planning in testing?

nothing yet for we Waiting. I feel gassy and bloated and maybe a bit queasy, but I think that is related to the gassyness to be honest. I'm 99% expecting to be on by the end of the day, but that 1% makes this so difficult!

Learning so much from this board already chemical pregnancy what!! Away to google to do some research!!!

And waiting your more than welcome to stay with us as long as you want too 😊

Hi everyone me and DH are TTC with #1 this is our first cycle active trying, ive had my implant removed from dec and AF have been pretty regular from jan. However the past 2 cycles have been 4 & 5 days late, the first cycle i put down to stress as we just got married so not sure shes playing at atm but could be getting back to her old self of being all over the place as i have PCOS. Atm i am just trying to find out my OD thought it was yesterday but apparently not more likely to be next week. Last month week before AF I felt strange sickness, tiredness and of course i was convinced i was preg but nope not going to lie was a bit disappointed but DH was more so next time he wont be told anything until i know for sure altho he is into it all so prob be able to tell me!! So i am thinking last month that was me ovulating. Thats my background story 😊

Good luck to everyone alot of you guys seem to be testing this weekend!! I hope you all get positives!!
