I'm not sure at all of ovulation. Only went by calender as the last 4 cycles have been so regular at exactly 27 days so I just guessed this month.
Didn't BD for a week after suspected ovulation so I don't know what to Think??

@alicepol how sure are you of your ovulation? Opks only show the surge before ovulation is supposed to happen - it sometimes doesn’t even if you get a positive on the strip. This is the only reason i temp as it shows if ovulation actually happens, not just tries to, iyswim.

Also keep thinking I'm about to come on as since yesterday I've had darker coloured cm. (More browney) TMI 😂

BFN this morning on Poundland test, still no AF. Feeling ill with this sore throat and nauseous (maybe from my throat hurting). Boobs hurting (not any more than usual AF tender boobs..)
what is going onnnnn?! 16 DPO now and want an answer either way 😭

purplestar I’ve had that a few times! Really heavy for 2 days, nothing the next and then back to being heavy! It could just be your body returning to normal cycles since coming off the pill x

purplestar9 · 26/07/2018 21:57

So I'm not in the 2ww anymore but I hope you don't mind me asking my question anyway. I'm on CD3, I had AF for two days, fairly heavy (for me, but probably just normal), and today... nothing. I've never had a period that only lasted 2 days before! Has anyone else ever had this? It is only my second period off the pill but I'm confused!

Thanks @lubilu28 I've been feeling a little nauseous this PM as well tbh but that may have to do with the half tub of ice cream 😂🙈 I'm good at not getting my hopes up luckily and I still think it's not my month but you never know. Had BFN yesterday so didn't bother testing today. Will try again tomorrow AM with FMU if AF doesn't show. That will be 3 days late.

@lubilu28 I really have everything crossed for you hun.

@MissNena I really hope something happens lovely, it's proper shit isnt it.

@TheHalfBloodPrincess yes I heard that about FRER but this looks darker and has colour to it which I've never seen on an indent. Oh good grief, only time will tell eh. Love, love love your name btw, massive HP fan!!!

Lubilu28 · 26/07/2018 20:47

Hi everyone!!!

So this is my first cycle ttc baby no 2! I had a positive opk this morning and have been BDing everyday since Tuesday! I’m so impatient and I know I’m gonna find the tww so hard. The worse thing is I’m off work all week so it’s all I’m gonna be thinking about Hmm

I’m gonna to try and fill my week up with lots of activities to do with my DS and hopefully the week will fly by!!

I’m going to test with a FRER 10dpo which I think is the 6th August!!

alicepol I don’t want to get ur hopes up but when I found out I was pregnant with my DS I felt the same way!! I felt like I was so heavy down there like I was gonna have the biggest period ever!! I got a bfp 2 days after AF was due so I have my FX for you xx

Still no AF today, also have a horrible sore throat and generally feeling bleurgh today. Will take a cheapie test tomorrow morning and then buy a FRER ready for the next morning if I haven't come on my Saturday. I really don't think I'm pregnant as I've been saying the whole time but it is odd that I haven't come on yet. BFN yesterday as well. Not sure what's going on but I just want to know either way!
@MissNena any answers your side yet?

OP posts:
TheHalfBloodPrincess · 26/07/2018 14:57

@funkyemzie I had a very obvious indent line on a frer - apparently they’re well known for it 😡

MissNena · 26/07/2018 14:43

Yes @Funkyemzie my AF was due on Sunday and still hasn’t shown up and keep getting BFN! Hopefully I will know either way soon! Just wish if I am not pregnant that my AF would just start so I start next cycle!

Funkyemzie · 26/07/2018 14:36

Thanks @MissNena, i can't make up my mind if it's pink indent or faint faint faint bfp. Only 1 more FRER left then it's just ic's left. Have u tested yet?

Keep going really dizzy today, like when you get up too quickly. Could just be the heat though tbh.

MissNena · 26/07/2018 14:10

Welcome @Babyemzie. Good Luck with tomorrow’s testing!

MissNena · 26/07/2018 14:09

Just done opk and it was negative. So basically everything is negative! Negative AF & HPT! 😂😂😂 so still clueless

Funkyemzie · 26/07/2018 13:53

Ok, caught up now. Sorry I'm a bit of a late poster, gone crazy this last 2 weeks with wedding cakes so alot of late nights. So many people having mid week weddings nowadays!

Anyway:
Cycle 11 - 4 since MC
11dpo today, testing in the morning again as got a pink indent line on FRER this morning but it's soooo faint.
DD will be 11 in August so also a massive age gap but she still asks us for a baby brother/sister.

Sorry to all those with af. Posted my pic of this morning test.

Starting 2ww once again! Who's with me?
Funkyemzie · 26/07/2018 13:25

Hi everyone. 11dpo today, plan on testing in the morning with OH but not had any symptoms this month just a bit of backache and sore throat a couple of days ago but seem to have disappeared now.

Just goin to have a read through all the posts now and catch up, I'm rubbish at posting without reading! 🙈

Still no AF here.. had full on cramps yesterday morning for it which is confusing.. I think it's just late. Otherwise only other thing I can think of is maybe I ovulated much later than I thought but I didn't track it so not sure. Will test again tomorrow morning

OP posts:
MissNena · 26/07/2018 10:02

It’s BFN PT from me but.... sorry for TMI but had EWCM this morning when wiping??? Now I’m confused going to do an opk test when I get home at dinner time. Will update later on today

8DaysAWeek · 26/07/2018 09:08

Any update updates @alicepol and @MissNena ?? All my fingers crossed for yous!!

MissNena · 25/07/2018 17:47

@alicepol I was due AF on Sunday and got a BFN on mon on a frer and then today on a cheapie which was a 25mLu. I’m probably not pregnant if keep receiving bfn’s And just having an irregularly long cycle for some reason.

alicepol · 25/07/2018 13:54

How late is it now MissNena?
Mine still hasn't made an appearance and BFN but it's only due today so hoping it's not too late.

OP posts:
MissNena · 25/07/2018 13:44

Still no AF and still a BFN!!! Don’t know what to think or do?? Wish AF would just hurry up start so I can move on to next cycle bought opks before this cycle and think I am going to need them for my next cycle as predictions are going to be out of whack.

8DaysAWeek · 25/07/2018 11:44

I've temped a couple of cycles and it's really interesting seeing the chart. I like how it's something to do every day during the 2ww! Cheaper to scrutinise a free chart than a negative pregnancy test haha. But I also actually struggle to sleep properly as I get obsessed with waking up at the same time.

In two minds about temping this month but think I'll go for it. I didn't like the uncertainty this month of not knowing when (or if) I ovulated and not knowing exactly how many dpo I was.

Sounds like we could all do with some tracking support this month.
