(Think) I ovulated on Sunday. DTD several times at the right times(I think!) so it’s just a case of waiting now... boy oh boy, I’m driving myself nuts!! DH has no idea when I ovulate(don’t think he wants to know as it puts the pressure on him) so I’m flying solo on the 2ww. Which is where you guys come in Grin
Anyone else in the same boat? Fancy talking each other down from THAT shelf in the supermarket??

@lgh05 don’t waste your money on a clear blue before you’re due. Go and get yourself a FRER, they show so much earlier.

Peanutty86 · 23/10/2017 14:07

@Gem173 First official cycle. Last cycle we decided to go for it but it was a day after positive OPK, so didn’t have much hope anyway. Just hoping it’s going to stick and get stronger....

It's such a pricy little game all this testing! I am going to take one in a few hours just to get a fix, it's the afternoon and I've weed loads today so I am not expecting anything at all. Can anyone clarify for me how many days before my period I am. AF is due Friday so does that mean today I am 4 days or 5 days before period. I've just read on the clear blue box that the result are 98% accurate 4 days before (1st wee in the morning) so I quite fancy those odds so may test with the clear blue tomorrow and stick with my cheap Superdrug ones before then. Also what's an Evap line and how do I stop it?

Although I haven't had any implantation bleeding. I did bleed at 3dpo and had sharp pains but doubt that's implantation as it would have been too early. I've just got dull aches everywhere especially my back.

Gem173 · 23/10/2017 13:40

@Igh05 with all the success happening that's what I want to do lol but then realised I got no money! X

lgh05 · 23/10/2017 13:38

I've just send DH out and he's spend £30 on test 😂 debating whether to use one in a few hours and hold a wee in even though it's afternoon and I am only 10dpo

Gem173 · 23/10/2017 13:35

Wow, congratulations anyway, just looked at my bank, can't afford a frer until payday which is Friday!! How am I gunna wait that long??

What cycle are you guys on @Hulaballoo and @Peanutty86

Hulaballoo · 23/10/2017 13:05

Thank you 😁 🎉 still can't quite believe it!

Peanutty86 · 23/10/2017 12:59

@Hulaballoo congrats!!! Nice line you’ve got there! Must have scrolled passed your posts this morning 🙈

Gem173 · 23/10/2017 12:46

Also what's an IC?

Gem173 · 23/10/2017 12:40

I'm praying for a pos lol hoping I get one soon, if not there's always next time. Might try a stick instead of a strip next time x

Poptart4 · 23/10/2017 12:09

Congratulations 🎊 to all the bfp.

I'll be 10dpo tomorrow and your making me want to test. I have 2 frers I was going to use one at 12dpo but might go ahead and test tomorrow. I'm just really scared of getting a bfn. Its depressing, at least if I wait I still have hope. Oh what to do??

You’re right. My plan was if I got a faint line on IC I’d get frer but I might invest in one sooner... these ligament pains are killing me today. Hoping it’s a good sign

OP posts:
Peanutty86 · 23/10/2017 11:12

@Somethininthewater I still have negatives on the IC. They’re shit. And in hindsight those pains and cramps did feel different to what I had before. So god knows.... get yourself a FRER and test in a couple of days.

All night I’ve been getting ligament pain low down on one side. I know what it is because I got it a lot in all my pregnancies. Obv it’d be pretty early for that but maybe because my body knows what to expect, it’s remembered? Oh who knows?! Look at me, trying to convince myself! 😂

@18mnthsandcounting wow! That’s one hell off a line!! Congrats!!!

Mine is a bit stronger today at 11dpo, hardly slept though.

trying not to POAnymoreS before 29th!!
18mnthsandcounting · 23/10/2017 10:39

I try to test in morning x

18mnthsandcounting · 23/10/2017 10:39

@gem173 I took one of the cheap sticks at 8dpo which was to early really but I got a negative on that.. then today got a positive on a FRER 10dpo I think the frer are the best tests x

Gem173 · 23/10/2017 10:35

@Hulaballoo thankyou for the reassurance

Hulaballoo · 23/10/2017 10:25

@Gem173 I still had bfn at 10dpo, there's still time x

Hulaballoo · 23/10/2017 10:24

@18mnthsandcounting so true. This is a sticky 🌈❤️ xx

Gem173 · 23/10/2017 10:08

I'm 10 dpo and I got bfn this morning but it was with a one step strip and I've heard they give late results compared to a frer. Not sure whether to test again. Can you test at night or evening?
