(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??

Yup first month for me too. 4th baby though. I’m 36 and hoping that all my eggs haven’t shrivelled up! Said to myself we’ll only try once and if it doesn’t happen, then we’ll give up... not so sure I’ll stick to that though Confused

@Lollylollypopxo yep hopefully! I'm keeping my fingers crossed! Just got to try keep busy for the next few days :/

Lollylollypopxo · 21/10/2017 12:01

Similar for me @gem I ovulated around 15th and should be due on around 28th so we're all in quite similar timeframes. Hopefully some positives 🎉

Gem173 · 21/10/2017 11:37

It's my first month straight off the pill. My withdrawal bleed was 23-26 Sep, then ovualted on the 13th oct. now waiting for period should be 26th if two weeks after ovulation.

@Somethininthewater
Is this your first month straight off the pill?

Complain and get freebies! Grin
If I ovulated on 15th(positive OPK) af would be due 2 weeks later, right? But my ‘period’(withdrawal bleed from stopping the pill) was 5-9th. So confused!

Cheeky bugger @Gem173

Gem173 · 21/10/2017 11:07

Omg just had an amazon delivery for a water bottle, and the driver opened my door chucked the parcel in and slammed it shut! Fucking cheek mind! Didn't even wait for me to get to the door!! Angry

@Igh05 I just tried googling the chances of chemical. It says that it is believed that chemical pregnancies occur when the fetus dies immediately after conception. It happens before the embryo has a chance to implant in the uterus

*on our hands

@Gem173 @Lollylollypopxo so we are all sitting in our hands for about 5/6 days! It's a killer! I was weighing everything up about testing early, I think if I am pregnant and I did a text next Wednesday (AF due Friday) I will have a BFP but... I will then stress out for the following 2/3 days waiting for AF to show! So testing early may not help me because I am going to stress that I may still have a Chemical.

Does anyone know how common these are? If you do test 2 days before AF could you still have a chemical?

Gem173 · 21/10/2017 10:46

Think I may need my oh to hide the sticks somewhere and never tell me where. I just stress myself out waiting and overthinking things. Not to mention I've had a blocked nose and dry mouth (which makes everything taste funny even water) for a month now. Stupid cold season!

Lollylollypopxo · 21/10/2017 10:44

Same about the chemical pregnancy, I had no idea about them until I read every bloody thread on here 😂 AF is due for me around the 28th so I'm HOPEFULLY making myself wait until then

Gem173 · 21/10/2017 10:36

Also my periods due on the 26th. So will test on Tuesday and on the 26th. But knowing me il be testing every morning just in case lol

Gem173 · 21/10/2017 10:34

@Igh05 same here had no idea chemical preg existed till I read these pages. Feeling a bit worried myself :(

lgh05 · 21/10/2017 10:26

My periods due the 27th, I don't know when the best time is to take a test, with my daughter 4 years ago I tested 2 days before AF was due and got a BFP but I am now scared to death about chemical pregnancy which I didn't even know existed before I read every pregnancy page ever posted! Driving myself mad with the wait!!

Mulberrywhite · 21/10/2017 10:11

All sounds like good signs! Just took delivery of 2 FRER ready for tomorrow. Periods due the 28th don’t know whether to just cave and try one today ahhh

I always go off coffee and chocolate and want sour and salty things.

I’ve got 3 DC and with 2 of them the first clue for me was leaky boobs!! They leaked all through pregnancy. Set me up well for BF though as I produced loads of milk.
I’m prob imagining it, but my boobs are a bit more sensitive today. My youngest elbowed me in the tit earlier(nice wake up call!) and it was agony!!

Lollylollypopxo · 20/10/2017 23:19

My boobs feel big and sore, but it's one of them things that some people don't even get. My sister in law is 15 weeks PG and she has had virtually no symptoms besides only now going off chocolate, so wouldn't be disheartened if you don't notice many changes!

Peanutty86 · 20/10/2017 21:08

Yes, so no idea what it’s like anyway... but looking at my boobs they’re tinier than ever.

I can still taste it. Ugh.
I had awful cramps 2 days ago. Had to go to bed!

Peanutty86 · 20/10/2017 19:51

@Lollylollypopxo I will let you know if it works once I’ve got a positive!

@Somethininthewater I have weird cramps. But had similar ones last month. Both times started about 4-5dpo. I got my hopes up last month and this months again until I realised that it’s probably just the PMS that many women talk about but I just never had as a teenager or on the pill. Would’ve loved your steak!

I am definitely waiting til Sunday! Will be 8dpo then I think. Still pretty pointless testing that early, but hey!
My appetite has been rubbish the last 2 days. Only eating because I have to. My steak tonight tasted awful 🤢 if I go off coffee, then I know I’m upduffed!
