TTC #2 April BFPs

I've just realised my stash of 'FRERs' aren't the Early Result tests, but the Rapid Results ones I didn't realise there were two different First Response products, and these are much less sensitive. Should I be sensible and wait for AF, or spend more money on things to pee on?

I'm really getting tired of Ovia's Clear Blue ads. They almost make me feel guilty for using regular OPKs and not these..

Best of luck to you on your TTC journey Clumsy

Best of luck with TTC Clumsy, there are some great general TTC threads and specific TTC#1 threads on here so you're bound to find the right one! Sorry to hear of your chemical in January, sending good vibes for the future

Sorry I need to learn to read a thread title properly, totally missed the #2 bit!! I’m ttc no 1 so I shall bow out and wish you all lots and lots of good vibes and luck and keep my fingers crossed for bfps in the very near future for you all

I can't DTD today and left my OPKs at home. Had a faint OPK line on Saturday so fingers crossed ov will hold off until tomorrow. It can't hurt to DTD the day after ovulation though can it? (Well I mean it can't hurt to DTD at any time but is there still a chance if you do it the day after?).

Hi I’m just into the 2ww, af due 11th April and it’s cycle 4 for us, had a chemical in January.
I used pre-seed for the first time this month, no idea whether it will make a difference but I guess it just felt good to feel like I had a tiny bit of extra input which I know is daft but there we go

May DH likes to be involved in my POAS pregnancy testing but last month I did it in secret because I couldn't deal with his disappointment as well as mine.

Not planning on testing this month though unless AF is late - remind me I said this closer to the time!

Pink I'm not a big fan of Ovia. I've been using Fertility Friend. It's not as 'pretty' as Ovia but I find it really good. I use that and OPKs. I was temping and using FF charts as well but taking a break from that for a bit so FF just detects ovulation based on OPKs and any other info I put it.

Pink Ovia was off for me this month- I ovulated three days before it suggested, and it recalculated after I entered data on CM. I can't see OPKs going off, but you never know!

Fingers crossed soda

Sorry af got you peanut It's a really rough ride, this TTC business

CatRen I gave up chocolate for March, and it just doesn't taste the same now. Doesn't stop me from trying it over and over to see if it's right yet though...

Ps soda, some very well timed DTD! Fingers and toes crossed for you this month.

Morning! Does anyone else use Ovia and also opk’s? Ovia tells me I’m slap bang in the middle of fertile window, but so far, opk’s have been about as negative as ou can get!! They are from last pregnancy though and technically went out of date in November, but surely they should still work?!

Sorry about af peanut....my next af is due round about same time as yours (27th April)....we are also similar age (I've just turned 38) and same number of cycles (I've just started 15....).....we can be cycle buddies! Not much consolation I know but at least you know someone else is in the same (rubbish!) boat 👍😜

sodababy2 FX for You. You've got timing spot on this month hopefully if OPKs are right!

Sorry about AF peanut, it's so tough.

It looks like I ovulated yesterday - got a positive OPK CD13 and 14 (yesterday) but can't confirm as I gave up temping this month! We DTD CD11, 13, 14, and 15 so good timing. For some reason I just feel quite negative about this cycle though. Already looking at next cycle timings and DH is away with work for 5 days over ovulation so feel lots of pressure for this to work.

Not going to test early this month - just going to wait until AF hopefully doesn't show up!

Good luck everyone!

CatRen27 I am a weird one this Easter. Just haven't been fussed by it. Got an egg in the fridge that OH got me and not fancying it one bit.

Peanut1980 sorry you got really down with AF, don't blame you at all for getting like. Bloody tough this TTC shit.

Thanks ladies. Ahh I was quite upset about it yesterday. Had a good sob about it and have since drawn a line underneath it to move on. I’m usually used to it but I thought I felt different this month. Never mind. I’m due on my next period on 28th April so fingers crossed for then 🤞🤞🤞

I hope everyone else has more success. Would be great to see some more BFP’s on this thread xxx

@CatRen27 not yet, still on the gimme gimme gimme stage lol

Hi ladies

Sorry to hear AF showed peanut.

may, I haven’t done a test since getting pregnant with DD but then I did it in the middle of the day when OH was at work and test him the result! He nearly died at his desk I think

I went back on the same pill as before DD. I’ve googled and apparently the bloating etc is a very common side effect of coming off it.

I’ve ever heard of an instead cup - what is it?!

Realistically, I’ll be out for April and not back in the game until May now. There hasn’t been an DTD as I’ve felt so crap, but feel much better now. AF due around 15/16 April so we’ll crack on with trying after that.

So my AF arrived today so I’m out for April... we’ll until right at the end of the month. Good luck to everyone else 😘🙏 xxx

@mayago in the past I've just done it with Fmu regardless of whether DH is up but always warned him the night before that I plan to test. He usually gets up with me when that happens though. Atm as I'm post MC I just get on with it but only as I don't believe I'm looking at a new pg just yet.

Cat mine went from that shade to nearest I got to positive within a day. My surge appears to be more like a sharp spike this month? And a nap sounds heavenly. I used to put Jeremy Kyle on for a nap when I was pregnant with DD - a luxury I won't have if there is a next time! (No idea why, but JK always sent me off to sleep)

Welcome SJB90 I haven't used instead cups, but anything goes if it's even slightly rumoured to help TTC

Ovia is suggesting a test in 8 days. I wonder how long I can last? Does anyone have a routine for POAS? Do you involve your OH, or do it secretly? I normally use FMU, and OH wouldn't notice then as he'll be downstairs giving DD breakfast! I have grand plans to tell him about a pregnancy a little differently than excitedly shoving a FRER in his face while he's half asleep, which is how it happened last time around..

Cat, looks like you will prob get a positive the next day or so (today?). Not quite dark enough yet but very close.

Two child free nights and spa sound amazing, but most of all the afternoon nap....heaven!!

Thanks for the thought twittle but no, it was af, as I expected. Each month when I get spotting I have a faint hope that it's implantation (as I did get that with my first), but it never is so I should know better really.

Good luck testing mayago!
