TTC October anyone want to join 😊

@Rightnow1245, I tested when I was 2 days late? Or 3? Can’t actuslly remember now!. It was a Tesco’s Brand! Just a cheapy one. Got a BFN :(..
But still absolute no sign of AF

@Rightnow1245 are first response the best?

@Rightnow1245 thank you. - what test did you use?

@Pinkstar01, I haven’t. I’ve used Tesco’s own brand?? Don’t really know much about good tests.

@Chloo22 which tests have you used so far? Have you used a FRER with first morning urine? Maybe try that and pee in a cup, instead of directly on the stick?

@Pinkstar01 aww thanks for the positivity! - when is the best time to test again?. I’m scared of that BFN, it actually brings tears to my eyes! Hah.
Surely I should be getting some a line by now?..

@chloo22 being 5 days late is a very good sign, the most late I've been is by 2 days and I got excited but then AF came. Keeping fingers crossed for you!

@EMMttc I have a DS he's 3.5 and he was conceived on the first cycle! So I never thought it would take this long for #2 but that's life isn't it? :-)
Tbh we've been trying quite casually, haven't used OPK's or charted anything, we kinda just aim to DTD around the time I think I ovulate but I have a feeling I could have been doing it all wrong!

This cycle we dtd quite a bit earlier so thats why I'm hoping it makes a difference. I'm probably around 10/11dpo now but can't be too sure.

So I got very impatient yesterday afternoon and used the one test I had saved, clearblue digital and ofcourse it was a BFN. But i've heard not so good things about the clearblue ones, especially the digital so I don't know it could still be possilble I am. I'm going to buy some superdrug or FRER ones today hopefully.

@SwimSwim many congrats to you!!! How exciting!

Hey @keaps,
I’m trying to hold out until I’m 7 days late which will be Sunday.
Seem to have no sign of AF at all.. I’m super tired too over this past week, literally don’t want to do anything if I can help it and I’m usually the type that can’t sit around doing nothing Lol.
I’m just confused?!

Hi everyone
Have my fingers crossed for everyone testing this weekend!
I am currently 4dpo, fairly confident on ov date as was temping and using opks (first time for that). I currently have zero symptoms, not even sore boobs I usually get with ov. Not due af till 6th November so am fully in the TWW eek. Trying not to think about TTC as DH is really stressed with work and I’m having a new kitchen installed so life is utter chaos. Oh, plus dog keeps getting me up during night which meant I had to do my temps 2.5hrs earlier than normal!

Hey @chloo22, welcome here. Since you are 5 days late already I think it's a good sign. When do you want to test again? I tested today at 9dpo.. Lol.. Of course I got a BFN.. Couldn't be more patient. Well I am not testing till AF due at least I could save the money used in wasting strips.. Still hopeful though

Thank you all for the congratulations.

@Decgal88 yeah, we used opk to pinpoint the day of ovulation. Flo was out by one day as I got a positive opk on the day it predicted ovulation, so it happened the day after that.

Sorry to hear that @Abzi91, hopefully next month will be your month!

Hey Ladies,

Only just joined and trying to seek some advice, all new to tracking my cycle and all this malarkey.
So here’s my story.

Been TTC for a few months now. Cycles usually on average of 27-28 days. So I’m 4 going into 5 days late for my AF. Tested 2 days ago and got BFN. Was very gutted to see that, I haven’t tested since as I’ve been waiting for AF to show. Still no sign, no common signs like my usual cramps, maybe a few nicks here and there nothing like normal. I’ve had on and off lower back ache which I don’t get at all with my AF. I’ve currently got thickish creamy CM, which has got thicker over the past few days. My nipples have been sensitive on and off. I’d usually get sore boobs with AF but I haven’t had anything like that.

So I’m coming into my fifth day late for my AF? What is going on? Am I completely out this month?

Would appreciate some advice from anyone. Thank you

@swimswim CONGRATS🌹how exciting and good luck with the pregnancy!!!

@abz91 sorry to hear of AF. 😩😩 so hard but same boat so here for you!! And ready for next month!

@swimswim congrats dear. So happy for you. I hope I get a BFP too. @abzi91 sorry AF came. Next month is already here. All the best people.

Huge congratulations @SwimSwim 🎉🎉 so happy for you!!

Just had some really strong cramps, so went to check and AF has started with a vengeance. At least I know now and can start preparing for next cycle! I can relax from the obsession for a bit now 😂

Good luck to everyone else still waiting and to everyone about to start the next cycle 🤞🏽❤️

@SwimSwim congrats hun thats great news really happy for you!! were you using opk?xx

Well, we couldn't hold off any longer and got a BFP tonight at 11dpo on a clear blue early response!! 😁😁 Been trying to attach a picture but it's not posting in the app. It's good to know my symptoms weren't all in my head! Very early days for us though.

Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone waiting to test and for those trying again next month. ❤️

Thanks @Dosmamas and @Decgal88!

I supposedly ovulated on the 6th @Rightnow1245, but it could have happened later because I had EWCM for a few days after as well.. I only used Flo and Clue for tracking! Will start OPKs with the next cycle.
Really hope those signs are good news for you!!🤞🏽😊

Will probably take another test tomorrow morning so let's see. Haven't taken one in the last two days! Will keep you guys updated.
