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!

Hi @Amelia166 ☺️ That is what me and the other half thought too, but then I have read so many saying that I could have ovulated later (never done it before so would be a first) and then others are saying that there might not be be enough hcg yet. I will try again towards end the of the week though, I don’t see how I can be this late and not be though haha. Is this your first pregnancy?

Amelia166 · 27/08/2018 23:04

Hi @Ellii! 6 days late seems like a very positive sign. I got clear and yellowish discharge as well around the time AF was due. Maybe you should just do a blood test In a lab? I used clear blue digital anyway and it gave me 2-3 weeks result.

Amelia166 · 27/08/2018 22:58

@ashers89 thank you!! I feel like this thread brought good luck to me too 😄. I had sore very boobs since around the time I ovulated, I usually get them before AF is due but this time it was very sore a little earlier. But people are all different! Some get it just days before getting a BFP.

Hi @purplestar9 ☺️

She is turning 6 in December and is looking forward to being a big sister as soon as it happens 😊 yeah I will give until end of the week and try. I suppose I’m just surprised since when I fell pregnant with my daughter I used a clear blue digital and had an instant response probably befor af was due, just not as instant now.

Do you have any children? ☺️

purplestar9 · 27/08/2018 22:20

Hi @Ellii

The digital clear blues just need a higher amount of pregnancy hormone to show up as pregnant. I'd personally try a first response, I think from what I've heard they're the best :)

How old is your first child? 😊

Not ads..meant af!

Hi guys ☺️ I’m currently on my 6th cycle trying for number 2, feels like an life time. Normally quite spot on with periods only ever been maybe 3 days late tops. As of today I am 6 days late, I did take a clear blue digital yesterday but was saying not pregnant. Been told they aren’t very reliable though? I have had cramps/lower back ache/heartburn and a lot of clear discharge or sometimes even whiteish. I have ordered the cheap tests from amazon so will try again this weekend if no ads. Anyone been in a similar situation?

@ashers89 I wouldn't start getting disappointed just yet! For most people the first symptom is a missed period...stay positive xx

@Amelia166 thank you, I will! You too!

Amelia166 · 25/08/2018 17:23

@purplestar9 I totally understand! I kept trying to distract myself. Keep us updated please! Just gone to the hospital for blood work, going back on Monday for results.

purplestar9 · 24/08/2018 17:31

I hope so! @Amelia166 but I'm also trying not to get my hopes up too much!

Amelia166 · 24/08/2018 15:58

@purplestar9 I had a bit of cramping before AF was due but I just thought it’d come a bit early..So probably a good sign for you!

Amelia166 · 24/08/2018 15:56

@mrstobe90 thank you!

purplestar9 · 24/08/2018 13:14

@Amelia166 I have had some very light cramping over the last few days on and off which a lot of girls tend to say could be implantation but I'm trying not to get my hopes up! Other than that I feel pretty normal to be honest!
Glad you're feeling normal! Hopefully it will last :)

Mrstobe90 · 24/08/2018 10:59

@Amelia166 congratulations!!! Xxx

Amelia166 · 24/08/2018 10:24

@purplestar9 oh nice.. just be positive! Any symptoms so far? I feel just about normal, only that I get slightly more tired lately and get hungry often. Hopefully I don’t get that awful morning sickness. Fingers crossed 🤞

purplestar9 · 24/08/2018 07:19

@Amelia166 I'm on 10DPO today! CD32 because I have longer cycles. If AF doesn't show when I expect it to on Tuesday then I'm gonna test on wednesday I think!
How are you feeling?

Amelia166 · 23/08/2018 22:34

@purplestar9 I’m on cycle 2. But I wasn’t keeping track in my first cycle so didn’t pay attention to ovulation. Hopefully you’ll get a BFP soon! How many DPO are you?

purplestar9 · 23/08/2018 19:27

@Amelia166 yes I'm trying for my first too :) what cycle are you on? I'm on cycle 3 and currently in the 2ww!

Amelia166 · 23/08/2018 18:52

@purplestar9 thank you so much! Really excited as this is my first. Are you trying for your first too?

purplestar9 · 23/08/2018 18:01

@Amelia166 congratulations!! That's great news! So happy for you!

Amelia166 · 23/08/2018 17:10

@ashers89 I just tested and it’s BFP! So shocking, and happy! had the same symptoms as AF, I could’ve sworn it was coming then it didn’t and my boobs have been super sore and larger! Hope to hear good news from you all too ❣️❣️❣️

Mrstobe90 · 23/08/2018 15:28

It sounds like it could be O. A really good (but gross) way to check is by tracking your cm.
My daughter is 6 months old. I also had horrific sickness so I'm worried about running around after a baby while sick and tired!
Good luck with ttc :)

rachyrach300 · 23/08/2018 15:05

@mrstobe90 my little one is 2! I had bad sickness for the whole pregnancy last time so really not looking forward to it but I hate the ttc bit as I feel so much pressure, especially when everyone is asking me when we gunna have a baby! Was meant to O this weekend but been having back and period pain all day yesterday and last night and a little today so not sure if that’s it?
