4dpo here and my boobs feel really full tonight, I’m not usually someone who has very sensitive boobs even in pg. Got right hand side cramps and lower back pain aswell, if I didn’t know when af was due I’d say I was coming on!
I hate symptom spotting grrrrrrr

XxBecxX · 26/07/2018 12:20

Yeah I have had previous success with the IC’s but it’s probably one of those once you’ve tried the clear blue you probs wouldn’t go back to the ic.
My only thing is I hate clear blue pg tests, I think because they are so shit it’s negatively swayed me away from there other products lol

TheMagicTorch · 26/07/2018 11:57

I've never used the IC, the clear blue is great, I know they're a bit pricey but I like the certainty and hopefully won't be using them too long!

Lubilu28 · 26/07/2018 11:32

My friend gave me her one-step opks and I wasn’t even getting a faint line so decided to try Clearblue and I got a smiley 😊!! I wonder if the ones she gave me are out of date as she was using them over a year ago 🤔! Lol x

XxBecxX · 26/07/2018 11:11

My positives where reallly crap this month with the ic, I think I might buy the clearblue next month for a try if this month is a wash out.
On my pack instructions it said even if the line isn’t quite upto the test line colour if it’s darkest for you it’s a +

Lubilu28 · 26/07/2018 10:52

I’ve just got a positive opk and major cramps...🤞🏻

XxBecxX · 25/07/2018 20:25

Oh lol I’m curently 3dpo!

XxBecxX · 25/07/2018 20:24

Evening ladies is there room for another!
I’m a bit of an old hand myself I’ve got quite a few children but I loved having the hand hold of other ladies last time I was ttc so thought I’d join in with you guys as I hop back into the crazy train that is ttc lol xx

Lubilu28 · 25/07/2018 19:52

Hi ladies can I join??

I’m currently ttc baby no 2! I’m on CD13 and was just curious if any of you ladies have had early ovulation symptoms? I’m getting cramps, higher libedo and my cm is quite watery! Done a opk but was negative?

We’re dtd everyday and perhaps twice if I get a positive opk on ovulation day. I know it’s not necessary, but we did this when we conceived our DS and caught first time so I’m hoping it will happen like that again!! Xx

thisisouryrfx18 · 25/07/2018 19:40

@MrsV2018 its alrite hun i know u have a lot on ur mind especially when af 1st arrives x

MrsV2018 · 25/07/2018 19:36

@thisisouryrfx18 I'm so sorry... I already knew your OH results!! You already told us before.. been really sad today and think I just wasn't thinking... hope your gynao appointment goes well next month. I think I'm going to take some time out from ttc. It's taking over everything for me and it's all I think about. I'm getting really down about it so I think I'm just going to take a month out not doing any tracking or checking ovulation or anything and just get me and OH on track.. wish you all the very best of luck and really hope you get your BFP soon..

MrsV2018 · 25/07/2018 18:39

@thisisouryrfx18 I bet your OH is relieved that they came back ok. That is great news.. so what's your next step now?? AF arrived today- 1 day early.. I'm devastated.. I'm going to try and ring docs tomorrow I think

thisisouryrfx18 · 25/07/2018 17:46

@MrsV2018 his tests came back fine his sperm looked normal they said but im beginning to wonder if quality is better than quantity when ttc😕

MrsV2018 · 25/07/2018 17:28

I mean in the fw

MrsV2018 · 25/07/2018 17:28

@thisisouryrfx18 good luck with OH tests.. that's a good point tho maybe we been dtd too much maybe we should do it every 48 hours instead of every day in the few

HidCat · 25/07/2018 16:47

I think so - that seems to be the logic behind the 48 her rule anyway. Good luck with things, hopefully your time won't be too far away.

thisisouryrfx18 · 25/07/2018 15:14

@HidCat me too well we try dtd as much as we can but if we go a day without i do think well the sperm should b able to survive a couple of days..does make u wonder tho why they say no sexual activity for 48hrs before the SA it must b soo u have more high quality sperm to look at u know what i mean lol

HidCat · 25/07/2018 15:10

@thisisouryrfx18 I always followed the 48 hr rule - so sex every couple of days rather than every day. Every day shouldn't be necessary.

thisisouryrfx18 · 25/07/2018 14:52

Im always saying on here theres no such thing as tmi but i have a question ladies, during ur fertile wk is it better to dtd as much as u can or wait until just before ovulation do yous think? I was just beginning to wonder when OH had his SA it said to make sure u ejaculate during the wk off it but dnt do it 48hrs before the sample, so i guess what im saying is dtd too much in the fertile wk going to effect the quality of the sperm?! Im thinking it must or why would the say that lol

thisisouryrfx18 · 24/07/2018 14:16

@MrsV2018 thats the best thing u can do get away for a day and TRY and keep busy and upbeat i know its harder said than done believe u me..i was soo scared to go to the docs, i try and look at it one step at a time now phone them up and try and get an appt today thats the 1st step x i just thought get the appt and i can back out at anytime i dnt need to go if i change my mind, then as the date got closer i thought fuck it i need/want to go for my own sanity.

MrsV2018 · 24/07/2018 11:30

I'm just really fed up with it all atm.. am so scared to go back to the docs.. AF is due on Thursday so I'm still holding out just in case even though I know there's no point. I just go up and down throughout the day. I'm going to suggest going away for a day somewhere just the 2 of us I think.
