(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??

Suppose it'll happen when it happens! Thanks @lgh05

lgh05 · 30/10/2017 08:02

Oh sorry to hear that @Lollylollypopxo

Lollylollypopxo · 30/10/2017 07:58

Think I'm out. Due AF yesterday and got some very light spotting today so it doesn't seem like my normal periods which are heavy and feel like hell, but I think it's just taunting me. Ah well

Of course they don’t. Hell, I’m not entirely sure what’s going on, and I’m female!!
You’re super fertile as soon as the coil comes out! I k ow so many people who’ve got caught straight away. Me included!

LostMyBaubles · 29/10/2017 21:36

They don't understand to the full extent really do they

It's not just ttc it's soo much more to it

A relative of mine told he she had her coil out and it took her 5 months for her body to adjust
Then she had a miscarriage. She's just had a little one a few months ago.

Wanted to ask her if she had done any of this (opk, vits etc) but we aren't on that level of speaking

On 1 hand I want a positive very quickly but I know it can take a while even more so with pcos

DH would think I’ve gone bat shit crazy if he knew the lengths I’m going to to TTC. He just thinks it’s a stab in the dark(quite literally!) 😂

Didn't pick up another line on my screen sorry 🙁

Buuut lol we sound a like
Hubby doesn't have a clue I've started opk or that one ordered more opks and tests lol
Hopefully they arrive when he's not home lol

Nope, regular as clockwork! That’s where I can see it! I’ve chucked the test in the bin now as I was pissed off! Well, I say bin, there’s actually a carrier bag full of used tests in the boot of my car that I’m going to chuck in a public bin tomorrow! If DH saw that lot he’d be asking for a divorce on the grounds that im a total fucking nut-job!

I can see the faintest of red when the bottom but of the line would be! Are your cycles usually a bit off or are you quite regular?

Feeling ok... occasional low pains, appetite is pretty crap, couldn’t eat my tea last night. Well I did the frer... and after about a minute this off line appeared. It’s gone now! Not even sure you can make it out on here?

Yup. Done all that. I think they’re just exceptionally cheap and nasty!

Are you using them properly?

Use a cup (old one obs) wee into it and keep the test dipped in for around 20 secs then take out and lie flat
Read after about a min or 2

The cheap opk have a weird pink mark on them but go pretty quick

If the bleeding has stopped could it be implantation bleed fx!

I’ve no idea? Haha. The IC I’ve just got are rubbish. The bit that’s meant to be white, stays Pale pink!

@Somethininthewater is it going to settle your mind if you test and their shows no line so then you feel like you have a definitive answer?

Somethininthewater · 29/10/2017 08:59

Morning! Well, spotting/bleeding has stopped now. Was it just a dodgy period(like no other I’ve had in my 22 years of periods)?! Still bfn on IC yesterday. I’m 14dpo now. Debating whether to use my holy grail of tests, the FRER this morning. Is there much point, or am I clutching at straws?

Outkast2017 · 29/10/2017 00:13

@lgh05 Sounds like me. I joined amazon prime today just so I could get my FRER's delivered same day. Dont want to know how much ive spent. I've given up with testing now.

LostMyBaubles · 28/10/2017 21:06

Lgh it's annoying isn't it?

Can't wait until the coil is out so I can start to poas lol

lgh05 · 28/10/2017 20:38

@Outkast2017 £60 I have spent in 4 days on test!!!! Haha! Everyone says it but I think just leave it a few days and re test!

Outkast2017 · 28/10/2017 20:35

pulls up chair & sits

Hello all,

So... I've been in (now suspected) evapville for 5 days, on 5 different brands of test. I've actually given up squinting now. My head is beginning to 'burn'. I am around 10dpo.

These tests are playing with me I feel suspicious eyes lol

I have a bottle of cassis that I so want to sip straight. Withholding for now until I know what's going on.

Glad to be among fellow POAS addicts :)
