April 2ww

@Kentishgal I can see the line! Have you tested again today!

@helloworld88 fingers crossed for you!

Hello...back in the tww again...really doubt this will be our month as we only managed to dtd once grrr

I'm 2dpo today and af due May 7th

Been great seeing some bfps on this thread 😁

I think that's a v sensible approach! I swear next month I'll be less obsessed (I say it every month).

I can see something @Kentishgal .... I take the attitude though now through heartache of indents etc that unless itsvstaring me in the face I see it as negative .

Ha just looked at that again - it looks v negative but I swear there was a line!!

Quite! My husband was guilt tripped into cutting out caffeine so that it isn't just me making an effort!

I bought a frer on the way to work (and did it in the loo at work...what has become of me!) - It's definitely 100% negative. I'll see if I can post one of the ones from yesterday although not sure if you'll be able to see anything on a photo!

@Kentishgal have you got a picture of it? Reiki is a form of healing so if it does work then that's a bonus!
I was having a moan at my OH before I ov about how much us women have to do. It's crazy

I've still got all my symptoms and now adding in cramping and being an emotional wreck. If this AF it's going to be a killer! Im only 6 dpo so still can't even test!

That's really interesting and if you feel it helps with the stress thats the most important thing. I guess it's the same with the reflexology - I'm not sure if it helps but I enjoy it and it makes me feel better!

I did another test last night and I was absolutely sure there was a line - but it's no stronger on this morning's test so probably not a BFP unfortunately!

@Kentishgal take a pic and put in black and white - that usually helps!

I was so sceptical about Reiki, but stress is a proven factor against conceiving so if the only thing it does is make me feel relaxed then I decided it was worth a shot! I have PCOS and as soon as her hands were over my abdomen I felt huge amounts of warmth and was ridiculously emotional afterwards. I can't honestly say if it was that that has helped as I've lost around 2 stone too, but I'm going to continue going every month and try and time it around my ovulation date.

Let me know how you get on with it if you go!

Sorry I meant clacton

Claxton I was interested in what you said about Reiki - I go to a reflexologist specialising in fertility but she recommended reiki to help with stress - I was a bit sceptical. Do you think it has impacted on your ovulation?

I'm ashamed to say I've poas four times today. I swear I can see a faint line...but that's when it's up against a light and I'm not sure that counts! I'm like a woman possessed!

Gutted to see AF has shown up for a few of us - fx for next month! I've been timing Reiki sessions with my predicted ov dates and would highly recommend it!!

Symptom spotting this month is insane for me

• constant burping
• knackered, been having naps when I get in from work and then bed at 10am
• aches and cramps
• Headaches (although that's probably because I'm on decaf everything now 😂)

I've been tracking my BBT and it has dipped so I think that is me out according to everything I've read. Think my body is just adjusting as it's my first ovulation in about 10 years!

Thanks @PassTheAfterEights! And baby dust to you and all the other ladies! x

ps - If you do decide to go the OPK route I would recommend CB all the way.

Hi all, can I join too?

Age: 28
TTC: #1
Cycle: 1!

I think I’m about 5dpo now and imagining all sorts of symptoms, even though it’s probably way too early for anything to be happening! 🙈

Think AF's on her way early. Going on holidays with extended family bang on o time this month so won't really be able to try properly for two months now. Argh.

I am 5 days late for AF tested 1 day after missed period and 4 days with BFN. Gutted because you could usually set a clock by me as am so regular 😢. Body is playing cruel tricks on me. @passtheaftereights how are you getting on? Congrats to all your BFPs xx

AF this morning 😒 congratulations to the BFPs 👍

Congrats to all the bfp's and good luck to you next cycle @DBoo

Is anyone else still symptom spotting and waiting to test? Holding out to test as I know it's too early but might do it on weekend (af due next Monday). Going to be so disappointed/confused if not caught feel like I've had loads of symptoms

@TinySnowBuddy

I am 3dpo... May I join?

Age- 32

It didn’t take this long with my first, about 6 months last time so a bit anxious that it’s not happened. Now in the 2ww😳

Think im definitely out. Congrats on the bfps ladies. For those in the same boat as me i shall see u on the next 2ww thread. Bring some luck with you haha.

Good luck with the pregnancies all you bfp'ers!

@PocketFullofMumbles that puts the BF in BFP

I’m so sorry @starwishing and congrats @EnglishIrishRose 🙂

So after several days of shadowy positives on internet cheapies, I followed @waitingforbubbles lead and got a frer - can I now start to get excited?! This is officially no longer a ‘faint’ positive, right?

Hi @Clacton fx for you this cycle! I'm 7dpo, due af week today. It's my first month ttc baby 1. I joined the group super early though so feel like I've been waiting ages already ha
