Hi all,

I am new to the site and wanted to speak to other ladies who are ttc.

Is anyone else a few days post ovulation? I am now in the 2ww and trying not to obsess over it too much. I didn't use any ovulation tests but had a strong feeling I ovulated on CD14 due to a few reasons.

Would love to hear from others and where they are at so we can follow everyone's journey and keep our spirits up!

Af turned up...5 days early!!!...on 2nd day of honeymoon...how romantic!!

Amelia166 · 04/09/2018 22:11

Hey @ashers89 ! Fine thank you. I think it's always better to wait after AF to test, to save us all some anxiety on getting BFN's 😖. When's your AF due exactly?
Btw went for my first scan today and there was a heartbeat. Felt so surreal. Goodluck! x

Hi sorry to post under this as it hasn’t got anything to do with this post I’m new on this but I was wondering if I could get some help I recently had a baby 2 months ago and I just had sex for the first time last night without protection I have had my normal period maybe just over a week ago am I at risk of getting pregnant again? I’m worried thanks

@purplestar9 okay then, goodluck xx

purplestar9 · 29/08/2018 22:45

@Amelia166 I have an appointment booked with the midwife for 12th sept :)

Amelia166 · 29/08/2018 22:19

@purplestar9 Haha! I can imagine. When do you go to the hospital ? Or you haven’t deciddd yet?

purplestar9 · 29/08/2018 20:04

@Amelia166 yeah I hope they go away soon too! It really doesn't feel real yet, I keep going back to the tests to double check! Haha.

Amelia166 · 29/08/2018 20:02

@purplestar9 still have those nerves. Let’s hope they go away soon lol. I had slight achy legs around the time AF was due. I am fine, thank you. I have no serious symptoms yet. I’ve stopped being so tired even. Just a bit constipated.

purplestar9 · 29/08/2018 16:36

@Amelia166 thank you! I feel pretty normal! Just having a bit of nerves. Also, the muscles in my legs have been aching like mad today!! I did not know this was a pregnancy symptom! How are you?

Amelia166 · 29/08/2018 13:28

@purplestar9 OMG!! I’m actually so happy!
How are you feeling now? Any changes? Amazingg

@ashers89 This thread surely has goodluck! Hoping to hear good news from you all 💕

Amelia166 and purplestar9 congrats to the both of you!! I cannot believe how many BFP's we have had already since I started the thread! It is definitely a lucky one! You both must be over the moon!

I'm due on next Tuesday but I am soooo tempted to frer in next few days but realistically I think i am out this month xx

@MrsA9899 thank you so much :)

MrsA9899 · 29/08/2018 09:42

Congrats @purplestar9

That's amazing! I have been following this thread and i think it's a lucky one 😀

H&H 9 months!xx

purplestar9 · 29/08/2018 07:29

@Amelia166 So this happened this morning!! I honestly can't believe it! I woke up DH to tell him and he didn't believe me at first! 2 days before our 1st anniversary! 😃

Anyone else ttc? keep seeing old posts!
Ellii · 29/08/2018 06:37

Did an frer with fmu this morning, bfn 😩😭 still no af though and if I go by Flo I am 8 days late today. Any ideas? Could it just be that the hcg is too low for a frer as well? Maybe I ovulated later than I though, or af could just be very late.

If af still hasn’t shown up next Wednesday and no bfp either I’m ringing the doctors for a blood test, I’m going crazy here. So emotionally draining and the other part doesn’t really understand that

mrss2018 thank you...I get disheartened so quickly xx

Amelia166 yeah that's true just annoying because I've been pg before (ended in m/c) and I remember feeling pregnant early on my boobs were first sign so I stress myself out during these two weeks lol will know soon enough but anyway hope your still feeling all excited about your amazing news :)

Only weird thing I have right now is a stabbing pain in my left boob it comes and goes. Not sure what that's all about

GL to everyone else xx

I did try to feel my cervix and it’s all soft and squishyish today and seems to be higher up, yesterday it was hard. Does that make any difference?

purplestar9 · 28/08/2018 11:49

@Ellii good luck!

Ellii · 28/08/2018 11:20

@purplestar9 that is true I would have just thought would have shown already, I still have cramping today but no af and I’m 7 days past expected af date, I did have a clear blue digital left so did it this morning with fmu but it was a dud l, didn’t work at all. I’m going to get a frer after work and see tomorrow morning if anything comes up ☺️

purplestar9 · 28/08/2018 11:02

@Ellii every pregnancy is different so if you are pregnant it could just be your the hormone is rising a bit more slowly than the last one :)

No, I'm trying for my first :)
I'm around children a fair amount, I currently have 7 nieces and nephews and will have another one in less than 6 weeks!!

How are you today?

Vikki9899 · 27/08/2018 23:57

Hey, I'm gonna join in! TTC no2 and only started last month. I have a 6 year old already. Due to ovulate at weekend going by Ovia App which is normally spot on with my periods etc (used it for period tracker for months before we decided to start TTC), but I'm just taking relaxed approach as when I fell pregnant with my son I conceived the day my period finished (only DTD once that month due to sickness Confused and it was the day my period ended) so perhaps I'm an early O'er! Bit nervous about it all, hoping that it doesn't take too long as Hubby already thinks he's too old Hmm

Congrats to all who have had their BFP's so far and good luck to everyone else Smile
