@ScientistTTC yay! I'm not the only one! Are you more north or south?

sunshine1987 · 18/08/2018 23:12

@FlapJackered enjoy your holiday and test when your back I'd say, I know it's hard but just incase you don't want to put a dampener on it for the sake of a day x

FlapJackered · 18/08/2018 22:58

@CrystalBlaze WAHHH! Amazing news!! Congratulations!!!! 🎉🎉🥂🥂🥂

@MrsReader - I reckon 12dpo is a good testing day. I read on a website the vast majority of people will get an accurate result at 12dpo.

@MrsM2017 - good luck!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 will you test tomorrow?

@cupcakesandglitter - sorry to hear your cycle is being annoying - it's so frustrating when it isn't as you expect.

I am due 26th. I get back from hols on 25th do I wait and test on the 26th or do I test the morning before? If I wait it will be the sadness of being back from hols and a bfn or day before may make me sad on holiday. Decisions....probably 26th do you think?

@Patapouf I've not used many OPKs, they don't seem to work for me xx

cupcakesandglitter · 18/08/2018 22:26

Hi all sorry, I'm due AF around 29th/30th so I have two weeks... I had a feeling I ovulated early (but that's just a feeling) so I have zero idea what's going on 🤷🏻‍♀️ just back to the dreaded TWW xx

ScientistTTC · 18/08/2018 22:18

Hi all!

I’ve been AWOL as work has been absolutely manic recently! My period is due today but no signs as of yet. Had hardly any of my normal PMS symptoms, normally get horrendous headaches, bloating, cramping for days before but haven’t had any of it :/ done a Pregnancy test this morning and it was negative. Think my cycle might be messed up because I didn’t get a clear positive ovulation kit until day 21 of my cycle which is a bit crazy :/ don’t know what to think. Not getting my hopes up but so desperately want a baby I can’t help feeling upset when I see those negative tests :(

Also I’m from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Patapouf · 18/08/2018 22:14

Huge congratulations crystal!!!!!!

I know what you mean crossfit I just want this AF to get a move on so that I can get to this cycles fertile days!

Good luck fro tomorrow mrsm

mrsreader im a bit of a POAS addict so will probably do so every day from 10DPO just for something to occupy myself with.

valid you aren’t out until AF is here, fingers crossed for you.

cupcake have you been using OPKs at all? I wouldn’t go entirely by an app. if it’s wrong spotting could be an implantation bleed? Sperm live for a fair few days so you might not have missed the entire fertilisation period?

cupcakesandglitter · 18/08/2018 21:14

I'm out this month I think. Just gone to the loo and there's the tiniest couple of pink dots (think this counts as spotting even though it's barely anything?) put it into Flo and it changed my ovulation day to yesterday so we won't have caught it 😩

Delilah7 · 18/08/2018 21:10

Hi ladies.

Sorry I've missed so much. So glad for the good news :)
I hope the rest of you have been ok!
Had some weird thin white Cm today. Sort of how I had it before so over thinking... again!

Check in tomorrow xxx

ttcat32 · 18/08/2018 21:06

@MrsM2017 keeping everything crossed for you xx

MrsR16 · 18/08/2018 18:30

@CrystalBlaze huge congratulations!! That's awesome news!

CrystalBlaze · 18/08/2018 17:54

Thank you @purplestar!

@MrsM I'm 13dpo today but I have a shortish luteal phase so AF was a day late.

MrsM2017 · 18/08/2018 17:45

Thats what I'm hoping @flapjackered! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Not testing is so hard isn't it @CrystalBlaze !! Massive congratulations on your bfp!!!! 💕 How many dpo are you?

I'm currently 13dpo and AF is due tomorrow....keeping everything bloody crossed but still got this niggly doubt in the back of my mind....
Been having achy AF type feelings today, but then been getting them (and twinges) since about 9/10dpo so not sure if it means something one way or another. 😔

MrsReader · 18/08/2018 17:27

Ok I might need you lot to talk me out of it until AF day haha. Think I'm due 29th so a while yet Confused

purplestar9 · 18/08/2018 17:22

Think I missed a lot! Been having a break from my phone a bit last couple of days, I found it was distracting me from everyday life too much! Haha. How is everyone? Good I hope.

Congratulations @CrystalBlaze so happy for you! 😃

CrystalBlaze · 18/08/2018 17:22

I had two bfns @MrsReader and waited till AF was late to test again before it was positive.

Chivari · 18/08/2018 17:15

@MrsReader I am not patient either lol so I know the feeling! I did about 3 tests before AF and all BFN. But then all have been BFP since AF never arrived!

MrsReader · 18/08/2018 17:12

Awww I thought someone might say that lol. I'm not a patient person at all haha

Chivari · 18/08/2018 17:06

@MrsReader I think it's best to wait until the day AF is due to test. I always got BFN before AF was due, but then BFP after

MrsReader · 18/08/2018 17:00

Do you ladies think 10DPO is too early to test? I'm only 2DPO but already thinking of when to test Confused

ttcat32 · 18/08/2018 16:56

@ValidUser definitely! Will be waiting for next update 😂

ValidUser · 18/08/2018 16:30

@ttcat32 BFN!

8 dpo so I'm still in the game!

ttcat32 · 18/08/2018 16:19

@CrystalBlaze congratulations!!!!!! Absolutely delighted for you!!!!

@ValidUser just do it! We need at least one of us poas daily 🤞

@cupcakesandglitter try not to put any pressure on yourself re the sexdrive, it will come have a couple of glasses of wine and relax!

@Delilah7 hope you are feeling better, good that you're out and doing something fun!

@Crossfitgirl it will be FW before you know it, enjoy the rest before you need to get your cowgirl hat on 😂

@FlapJackered I wouldn't worry re the drinks, if anything it's good to be more relaxed, there's plenty of time for not drinking after the bfp so enjoy while you can🍷

I've missed a lot over the past few days, hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the weekend xx

Crossfitgirl · 18/08/2018 14:59

@crystalblaze I am sure you'll be fine, it's probably still too early to be getting strong symptoms! Your hormone levels will continue to rise, and lots of women don't even have symptoms.
Have you made a docs appointment? Xxx
So exciting!!

CrystalBlaze · 18/08/2018 14:53

It was our first proper cycle @Crossfitgirl and we only DTD twice in the FW so no reason why it wont happen quick for you! I can't believe it really. Although I'm now obviously panicking about everything cos I've had very few symptoms apart from slightly sore boobs and some implantation pain last week. My sore boobs are coming and going though.
