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

HEY everyone 😊
So bought a clue blue digital test and it’s saying not pregnant.. have read instructions and have realised these aren’t very sensitive 🙄 I actually do feel pregnant which is the weirdest part... nothing makes sense!!! Starting to worry what if it’s an ep?? Xx

LG88 · 10/04/2018 11:38

@Rose2887 I'm good, just already fed up of waiting. I am the most impatient person ever!!
I think they advise that you test using fmu because it is more concentrated so more likely to have enough of a hormone level to be picked up.
I don't know if it matters if it has been sat in a container though 🤔
If you test later in the day I think you should try to hold your pee for 4 hours before testing. I'm no expert though! 🤷 Xx

Good luck @Rose2887 !! Fingers crossed for a BFP for you!

Rose2887 · 10/04/2018 11:09

I meant *saved

Rose2887 · 10/04/2018 11:08

@LG88 hey 😊 how are you?

Now I’m town about to buy one Blush

So... I’ve said my fmu... can I use this?? It’s in a pee pot Grin or should I just use my next pee???

Any help would be much appreciated xx

LG88 · 10/04/2018 09:35

Welcome @Rose2887!
Fingers crossed for you! Hopefully you start us all off on a run of BFP!!
Let us know how you get on when you test. 🤞🤞🤞 Xx

Rose2887 · 10/04/2018 09:09

@buntingandstarcharts All good this end, How are you?
Still no af... but had some cramps all weekend expecting to start and nothing... boobs are sore too! Thinking I’m going to buy a clear blue later and see.... nervous 🙈 Had been using those cheapy amazon ones but I don’t think they are very sensitive!! How’s everyone else?? Xx

LG88 · 10/04/2018 08:51

Hey @buntingandstarcharts, here we are again in the dreaded 2ww!! How are you feeling? So this month we took it a bit more seriously, I did clearblue ovulation tests to make sure we gave it the best shot. We dtd every day that my ovulation tests showed high and then peak. I'm really hoping that puts us in with a good shot this time as at least we know our timing was right.
When should af be due for you? Are you feeling optimistic this cycle? Xx

buntingandstarcharts · 10/04/2018 08:27

Hey @Rose2887 - welcome! how are you doing? Any sign of AF? Have you tested? How are you @LG88 ?

Rose2887 · 08/04/2018 10:09

Hi everyone...
I’m new here Smile
Was due my a/f supposedly this weekend but yet to show, I say supposedly as I came off pill beg March had a 3 day withdrawal bleed and then nothing!!! Not sure when I would of ovulated but have been dtd loads! Have done a test a couple of days ago and was bfn but guessing prob too early!

buntingandstarcharts · 08/04/2018 10:00

Hiii @LG88 how are you? I've missed you all, pen pals! I'm on hols at the mo and trying not to think about it all (but obviously am!) You? Xxxx

LG88 · 06/04/2018 09:10

Hey ladies, @buntingandstarcharts @Hopefulbunny how are we all this cycle? Xx

Hopefulbunny · 25/03/2018 18:13

Hi Ladies,

Af arrived for me too a few days later than expected so seems cycles are still not back to normal after early miscarriage. I'm going to skip this cycle because I have a lot on so if you don't mind I will like follow your excitement hopefully will have a BFP's.

How you are well.

LG88 · 23/03/2018 13:02

Nope, think my period started this morning. I am also feeling really OK about it though. I have very much taken the attitude of what will be will be. I am going to just enjoy not being pregnant and a mum until it happens. It means I can enjoy things I won't be able to as easily once we have children so lets say cheers to not being there just yet!! Smile xx

buntingandstarcharts · 23/03/2018 12:44

How arrre we all? I'm feeling great after the dramas of last week! Went for cocktails last night 😍 Is anyone preg? Xxx

LG88 · 22/03/2018 07:39

Ah I hope you feel much better, the doctors won't help until you have been trying for a year, there has to be something in that!
My period is due tomorrow and i am pretty sure it is on the way!
Ah well, on to the next month! Smile xx

buntingandstarcharts · 21/03/2018 23:08

Thanks @LG88 I drank half a bottle of prosecco and now feel gloriously content❤️❤️ good luck and keep me updated!

LG88 · 21/03/2018 20:52

Oh please don't let that worry you, I know that it is really hard not to but I'm in exactly the same boat. I know people that it has taken around a year to happen for but they have still got the result in the end. We have to keep positive and not let yourself worry or the stress won't help anything. We will get out bfps and then we will look back at all of this and wonder what we were so worried about. Sending love and hugs @buntingandstarcharts, chin up lovely! xxx

buntingandstarcharts · 21/03/2018 19:00

I went to the doc today for something else, nothing major. Anyway I said I had been trying to get preg for 4 months and he said ‘oh but not trying as in - knowing your ovulation time-trying’ and I said ‘yes knowing ovulation and being like wild rabbits’ and he looked shocked and was silent and looked sad! I was shocked and scared 😪😪😪😪😪

LG88 · 21/03/2018 07:26

Ahh @buntingandstarcharts I'm sorry to hear that!! Rubbish. Sad
I am pretty sure my period is on the way, its been very odd for me. I had a bit more dark blood last night and thought it had started but then nothing. Then during the night I woke up with a crampy feeling so had fully expected to come on this morning but just a little bit more brown. I'm guessing it must be the start of an early period but it's so weird. I'm a bit worried about it to be honest! Blush xx

buntingandstarcharts · 20/03/2018 20:01

@LG88 it came this evening, boohoo. Ah I kind of knew anyway. What about you? How are you doing? Xxx

LG88 · 20/03/2018 19:41

@buntingandstarcharts it could just be that your hormone level isn't high enough for the tests to pick up on yet! For some ladies its ages after period hasn't shown that they actually manage to get a BFP to show! Are you normally very regular? Oh gosh I have everything crossed for you that your period doesn't show and your BFP does!! When will you test again? Xx

buntingandstarcharts · 20/03/2018 13:28

My period is due today....and it hasn't come yet. I'm probably being too hopeful but, maybe it won't come? Tests are all clearly negative but doesn't stop me from hoping! Xxxx

LG88 · 20/03/2018 07:14

Nope I don't think I have any symptoms really. I keep forgetting that it could even be a possibility this time round and am just convinced af will be here by the end of the week. I haven't got any early tests in the house but I may pick one up today just to put me out of my misery with it. I'm 100% sure that I'm not though.
This morning I had a bit more brown blood so I am wondering if it is just a very early start to af?? Weird though because I am normally pretty regular. Xx

buntingandstarcharts · 19/03/2018 21:56

@Hopefulbunny when was your period due? Mines tomorrow! Have you early tested?
