TTC #2 (September BFPs)

mother I think I see it! Test tomorrow morning! I used clear blue OPK this month for the first time the dual one with flashing faces. It seems to have worked for me this month, I'll keep you all posted.

I have fingers crossed for everyone it sounds like we're off to a positive start xx

stee yes - dual hormone detect two hormones. So when lh detected at start of surge you get flashing smiley then you get solid smiley at peak of lh surge when you ovulate as a second hormone is released then (can't remember the name of that one!). The standard clear blue just give you a solid smiley face or a blank circle depending on if lh has been detected - they just let you know when surge has started rather than actually when you ovulate

@motherofBoy I think I've ordered the dual hormone ones is there any difference? X

Mother, I don't keep tests in the house for the very same reason! I'd drive myself mad! I wait until AF is late before testing as I find a BFN so disappointing - when I was pregnant last time I got a BFN at 2 days late so assume an early test wouldn't be worth it for me anyway.
However I can see a very faint line so worth testing again in a few days.

Welcome mam and uppity.

I still have the pain in my right side but it's not as uncomfortable as yesterday so is easing off. I'm pinning hopes on implantation but I think I might have pulled a muscle !

stee I've been using clear blue, just the standard ones tho not the dual hormone. I find them really good only cos no squinting at lines involved!

AF due tomorrow bfn this morning... still could be in for end of September. What opk does everyone use I've been using cheapies off Amazon my surge came an went so quick so ordered clear blue ones are they any good? X

Ps welcome to the crazy house Mam :)

Somebody shoot me.... I did a test clearly can't f-ing help myself! 10dpo today and it wasn't even fmu. Immediately looked negative. But then about 8mons later thought I saw something. So now been obsessively analysing the pee stick. It's a crap Waitrose test I have no idea what the time limit as as don't have the box. Google tells me it is probably 25miu.

Tell me to step away from the test and that this is clearly a negative (or at best an evap)

I have no symptoms. Usually get sore boobs around now but nothing. Temps not doing anything out of the ordinary, still above 37c but they don't usually drop til 12/13dpo for me anyway.

Why couldn't I just wait?!!! I'm so angry at myself as swore I wouldn't test!!!

Yep got EWCM today. CD7 or CD8 depending on whether I count CD1 as spotting or not. Is this too early?

Ps thank you mam, I hope so but getting pregnant first time must be a bit of a fluke! It took 4 months last time but I'm older now so I guess I just have to play it by ear, as we all do!

Thanks everyone and welcome uppity!

Yes it's an ovulation predictor. I ovulated on CD10 last cycle so I'm now worrying I'm ovulating early

Sorry, got cut off half way through that one! Fingers crossed that once is enough LadyPug.

Got a feeling I've not been caught this month, but still 5 more days AF and the countdown starting again.

Morning LadyPug - OPK (I think) is ovulation predictor kit. And hi UppityStitch

Hi Everyone, I've decided to stop lurking and hop aboard

My stats:

35
TTC #2 - DS is nearly 3
Cycle 2
AF not due until 25.09

Been pregnant twice before and caught first time. First pregnancy ended in miscarriage at 10 weeks.

I'm assuming AF is due on 25.09, but I've been taking Pregnacare which has extended my cycle from a clockwork 28 days to 34 (don't know what it'll do this month). This meant I missed the window as I assumed I was still on 28 days.

Ps no idea what an OPK is!

Welcome mamoffrankie! It's my first cycle too and only had one opportunity to dtd this month (although at least I was ovulating at the time!). I'm new to the lingo so trying to keep up with all the acronyms and things!

Welcome mamoffrankie. Yes alot of support here. These ladies keep me going.

Sharp cramps, af 6 days late and no bfp. Had a strong positive opk today but very definate negative hpt. Now is it really possible to have a second surge??? Should I bd just in case. Arg but the cramps intense at times so don't really feel like it. Maybe she will be here tomorrow showing her red face.

How is everyone else doing?

Why is my OPK almost positive on CD6?! only did it because I had a cramp.

Hi mamoffrankie this is my favourite thread! We have a good bunch here 😊

Hi all, I have been a lurking creeper for a while now, so thought I would join in!
TTC #2, one DD (5) and I am 27. Only on first cycle (and even then only properly made a conscious decision to start trying half way through FW).

AF not due until 06.09 and I am going stir crazy already!

I am already amazed at the strength and encouragement on these threads and I can't wait to be a part of it.

Stee unless you did it first thing it's still likely to be negative at this point as you're not past your af date yet.

Don't want to give you false hope but you're not out until the witch arrives.

I'm defo out went an got a first response completely neg. Only my first month and didn't dtd as lush fingers crossed for next month x

stee the digitalis cant detect it early on they have a higher sensitivity of 50 where as most have 10 so that would be why. Don't rule yourself out on that. I'm going to finish the cheap tests I have over the weekend as AF is due Sunday/Monday and save my digital for next week and then I'll feel confident if it says the words! There's something about seeing words rather than lines!
