Hi all,

Just started the 2WW (I think) as I’m pretty sure I ovulated yesterday/today based on Flo & the bloatedness I’ve had...just wondered if anyone was at the same stage as me and how they were feeling about it all? This is TTC #1 for me xx

@DaisyMay see you at the next tww.

Pob13 · 11/02/2018 14:46

@mimi thanks. And that was exactly how i felt. Glad to know what is going on finally.

DaisyMay25 · 11/02/2018 14:46

@Mimilicious013 af came finally for me, bittersweet!!

Mimilicious013 · 11/02/2018 14:45

af cramps are back so hope she shows her face soon, tired of being in limbo

Mimilicious013 · 11/02/2018 14:39

so sorry @Pob13 Flowers .wishing you all the best with your new cycle. treat yourself to some chocolate or wineí½í¹.

Pob13 · 11/02/2018 10:30

Af is finally here, so Im out. Maybe see some of you on the next TWW. It has been lovely sharing the tww with you all. I hope all the bfps have healthy and successful pregnancies.

Thanks @FingersXssd83 & @lovesrunning
We’ve been trying for 3 months, I used all the kit I could because we don’t live together. I have an Ava bracelet for temps as I fly a reasonable amount and time zones make temping at certain hours difficult. Ava catches you when you’re in deep sleep so doesn’t matter about the time.
I also used clearblue opk, LH only version. I have a 28 day cycle, the apps were predicting ovulation 2 days later than it was so it was v helpful to see the positive and then race home the next day. It had turned negative that day and I nearly didn’t go!
I feel very lucky to have reached this stage so soon, I will be grateful for this whatever happens next.
One symptom I forgot yesterday is crazy dreams since 6dpo, one about implantation which I think I was so obsessed with I dreamt that from reading all the books before bedtime! But the other two were about spiders, which I am terrified of. I woke up and ran out of bed! The dream was they were in my bed! 😫
I had a bit of a panic yesterday because my moisturiser has essential oils in it, I used it and then googled it and some cause miscarriages, this freaked me out right before going to sleep. I took a test today and it’s still positive on FRER, looks darker today I think, top one is yesterday lower test today.
Clearblue digital 6 days early said not pregnant, so I’ll wait a bit longer to try that one. Still early days.
Thanks for all the lovely comments ladies x

Amazing ATP, so happy for you! Big congrats x

FingersXssd83 · 10/02/2018 19:58

What a lovely post @ATP1000, really happy for you! Can imagine keeping your secret is going to be a challenge. I'm 35 soon, how long have you guys been trying for? We're on cycle 8 next if this month doesn't work out. Love seeing BFPs, looking forward to seeing more from the ladies on this thread! xx

ATP1000 · 10/02/2018 19:35

Thank you everyone! I’m still in shock and now keep saying it’s early days and not to get too excited etc. But really I just want to tell everyone! Not going to though.

@rosieposies that train journey was definitely worth it! 😅

The only thing I’ve had today is to be very sensitive to smells and the same headache as last night.
I’m testing again tomorrow to see how it’s all going, I’m bracing myself for whatever happens next. I’m 36 and never been pregnant so I don’t know how it’s all going to go.

Baby dust to all of us! Xx

Pob13 · 10/02/2018 18:51

@Rosie Im 17 dpo! Definite bfn this morning and no sign of af. What the hell is going on?! If af is coming I wish it would hurry up so this cycle can be over.

winterwarmers · 10/02/2018 16:56

Congratulation @ATP1000 😀

HappyThoughts7 · 10/02/2018 16:21

Yay, congratulations @ATP - looks like a definite line to me! Xx

yay, congratulations @ATP í¼í¾í¼í¾

hope you enjoyed your time out @rosie .l really did.

to all who have their bfns, you are not out until the witch arrives. fx tx ((wish I could believe that haha))

rosieposies · 10/02/2018 11:34

Oh my goodness @ATP!!! defo see a line there, congrats!! That train journey was so worth it!

@pob POAS yesterday with FMU, 11DPO, about as negative as you can get. Alot of people seem to start getting positives around now. I'm pretty sure this isn't my month as AF feels like it's seconds away with pretty strong cramps that come and go. My friend asked me if I feel different and I honestly don't, just like normal PMS. I pretty much sobbed over the channel 4 advert about women having the vote for 100 years and boobs are killing me, both totally usual. How about you? what DPO are you now?

We're away and I had this lovely notion of getting my positive whilst in this little cottage in Dorset but oh well.

@mimi I did exactly the same last night Wine and I also feel exactly the same. Come on AF lets be done with you.

DaisyMay25 · 10/02/2018 11:23

@ATP1000 fantastic news!! Congrats!!

FingersXssd83 · 10/02/2018 10:02

Looks like you could be getting a positive there @ATP1000 🎉💕 xx

ATP1000 · 10/02/2018 09:51

Oh gosh, 8dpo according to Ava, 10dpo per Flo, and look at this...I had a positive opk 11 days ago and dtd 10days ago. Only did it once this month as I was working away but used Pre-Seed.
I got a headache last night just as I was going to bed, it was a “hot” one in my forehead like the one I get the day before my period starts. Had mega sore boobs, always do though, one difference is nipples more sore than usual. Nothing special about CM other than I haven’t 100% dried up but I don’t know if that’s different to other months. Last thing is pain in my left side near ovary but I had that all last month too and got a BFN, in fact the pain was less but still noticeable this month. Last month was awful. My temperature increased 0.01 degrees this morning, when I saw this I was hopeful but thought it needs to be more. I can’t believe this, fingers crossed it’s sticky. This is my first ever BFP. Good luck girls xx

FingersXssd83 · 10/02/2018 08:16

Just tested with a FRER at 10DPO and got a BFN. Best wishes for everyone else who's testing. Guess I'm out this month! Wine

Mimilicious013 · 10/02/2018 07:06

thanks @daisy, I needed the distraction. tbh I think it's another wasted month. l just want af to show up already so I can move on but I don't see her coming any day soon grrrr

sorry @pob, I wonder what has become of our bodies lol

Pob13 · 10/02/2018 06:52

Another bfn for me and still no sign of af. fx for everyone else

DaisyMay25 · 10/02/2018 06:48

@Mimilicious013 glad you had a good night!
Still nothing new here!
Hopefully you all have some better luck!

Mimilicious013 · 10/02/2018 06:47

morning ladies
fingers crossed for all poas today @pob and @fingers. really rooting for your bfps
@pob, no sign of af here dear and bfn yesterday. any sign of the witch your end?fx she stays away.
l went out for drinks last night and had a blast.
@happy, sorry for the bfn, hope it's just too early
l know just what you mean @ATP

lovesrunning · 10/02/2018 03:19

Hi ladies I’ve got everything crossed for everyone testing in the morning! Looking forward to the updates! Good luck x

ATP1000 · 10/02/2018 00:32

Good luck for everyone testing tomorrow, this is such a hard time. I don’t know how the first half before ovulation goes so quickly and this half is like torture. My husband was looking at my chart tonight saying - oh you can test in a week (af due), and I said no 6 days, he’s said yeah, a week. He doesn’t get it yet! Every day feels like a week! I’m not adding an extra one before I have to! Fx all xx
