Morning everyone.
8dpo (we think), find out tomorrow as had bloods done yesterday. Fingers crossed. Using every last little bit of will power I have not to test. Confused

@keaps I am currently very early on in my cycle as AF appeared last week so only on cycle day 9 AF stopped on Monday, but we have dtd already in preparation for my fertility window! im going to start using opk’s as I have not yet used them so my ovulation days could have been well out this whole time trying!! I am soo hoping i get a bfp this month i would be over the moon as we all would getting our bfp! i am going to try and be good and wait till the day AF is due to test as I have previously tested early and just been disappointed I know its hard waiting but i will try my best 😁how many days dpo are you? xx @Rightnow1245 thank you hun i will try and test those times of the day, i am currently on cycle day 9 shall i start doing opk’s in a couple of days? @Abzi91 hope you get your bfp and all of us ladies do this month šŸ™šŸ¼

Rightnow1245 · 24/10/2018 09:01

dosmamas didn’t see your message yesterday! That’s so strange about your parnters LP only being 8 days! Could it be implantation bleeding? Or was it to heavy for that?

How is everyone feeling this morning? AF due tomorrow to the app.. I’m on day CD 32 and 9/10dpo 😊 I did a test today again silly me! BNF but it was a internet cheepie! Saving my first response one for Saturday 😊 something is telling me it’s not the month for us but only got a few more days to find out šŸ‘

Best to hold off if you can swimswim I like me lol šŸ˜‚

Sorry ducks life can be so cruel sometimes šŸ’

Hey emma good idea not putting pressure on yourself sometimes that’s the best way to be! How long did it take you last time with your first?

sam Welcome sounds like you’ve had a real journey.. let’s hope this is month šŸ¤žšŸ½

I also spoke to my sister-in-law today and she told me she didn’t get her BFP until AF was due it’s given me hope! I also did with my son so maybe it’s more common than I thought 😊

@EvieV28 good luck to you too! I've convinced myself it'll be a BFP, just feels different this month, but then again I could just be completely imagining it all!

Dosmamas · 23/10/2018 16:49

I think we are out this month, my partner has started spotting which she usually does the day before her period except it's 5 days early 🤬🤬 although riddle me this, last Friday she had spotting which she put as ovulation spotting at 5dpo she gets pink spotting during/after ovulation every month without fail. But then now only three days later has the start of her period. Have we tracked something completely wrong? By those dates she has an 8 day Luteal Phase? WTAF? She hasn't got her full blown AF yet that's due 27/28th.

And can I just say, the female reproductive system is on crack 😔 what an absolute show it puts on throughout the month.

Welcome to the new October cyclers, I hope you have a smooth and predictable cycle with lovely results šŸ˜‚

EvieV28 · 23/10/2018 16:48

@samsward87 I have the same, I'm so scared to get my hopes up 😭 good luck to you!

samsward87 · 23/10/2018 16:43

Also - just to add, I've been getting some weird cramping type pains, and had a strange yellowish/stringy stretchy CM for a couple of days after ovulation this week. Not sure if that's normal, I've not noticed it in other months. Hmm

samsward87 · 23/10/2018 16:37

Hi all,

Can I join please?
Age 31
TTC #2

I've got PCOS and currently on my 3rd cycle with the fertility clinic, on clomid prescribed by them. My scan last week showed that they think I ovulated but needed to have my day 21 test to confirm that, so had my bloods done today. Nervous wait a couple of days now to find out if my progesterone level was high enough to suggest ovulation. Fingers crossed! I'm also in 2ww - AF is due sometime around next tuesday/weds. I'm so tempted to test but currently only 7dpo, so might wait until the weekend at least otherwise I could get a false reading. Also my periods are rather unpredictable, so this cycle has all been guesswork based on the fact my last cycle resembled something normal (28 days) prior to this though its always been around 35-40 and sometimes longer. The Clomid and Metformin that they have put me on have regulated my cycles, so really hoping for a BFP this month.
Good luck everyone! :)

Thought I’d refresh since AF has come and gone.

Currently on cycle day 9. Unable to DTD as partner is away all week until ovulation day on Sunday. I’m not putting any pressure on this month though as I felt last month we did it as textbook and as much as possible all to be disappointed when AF showed up. How do you ladies do it for months on end. My heart goes out to you all. ā¤ļø It’s mental torture!

Abzi91 · 23/10/2018 14:26

So sorry to hear that @ducksandacorns Thanks

ducksandacorns · 23/10/2018 13:15

@Rightnow1245 Unfortunately I had cramps and a bleed then evidence of MC.

Keeping positive though!

SenoraSurf · 23/10/2018 13:13

@keaps thanks. I'm 8dpo and have noticed a lot more CM than normal. No other symptoms though. Don't think it's my month and haven't noticed anything different apart from more CM. Have tried to research CM after conception but can't find anything interesting ļæ¼

keaps · 23/10/2018 12:28

@senorasurf do you have sore boobs? Or the CM?

keaps · 23/10/2018 11:17

@senorasurf well some ppl report having increased CM as hormone level rises in early pregnancy. Don't know if it's universal. Maybe those who got a BFP can educate us. Lol

EvieV28 · 23/10/2018 10:27

9dpo and have really bad cramps!
How is everyone?

SenoraSurf · 23/10/2018 09:22

@keaps what do you mean vaginal secretions? Does CM change during tww if you are pregnant?

keaps · 23/10/2018 08:56

the tension is real @swimswim. I really hope I can wait for Saturday. AF next week Tuesday but I am positive. Having all manner of mood swing. So boobs not sore yet and no vaginal secretions too.

SwimSwim · 23/10/2018 08:44

Morning ladies! I'm now 9dpo (AF due Monday according to Flo) but feeling like any symptoms I feel I have are in my head. You can actually drive yourself a bit mad in this 2ww. I was going to test on Friday or Saturday but feeling now like I might just wait and see if I'm late as the disappointment would ruin my weekend!

sav89 · 23/10/2018 08:25

Hey pinkstar01 good luck for this month hope you get your bfp!

sav89 · 23/10/2018 08:24

Sric1994 I'm exactly the same.
Tested today and was bfn. I keep telling myself it's too early as I'm about 7-8dpo but not feeling hopeful this month Sad

Rightnow1245 · 22/10/2018 20:56

You’re right ladies I shouldn’t be disappointed yet as I am only 8dpo! Just wish I didn’t test now lol

abz yeah you’re right I did get a late positive! Hopefully you do too.. it was a very faint line too.. I almost missed it lol šŸ˜‚

Welcome pink you’re on the same day as me!

Sorry to hear that ducks do you think let’s because of that positive test? I very hope you can sort out your dates 😊

swimswim tell me about it!! longest 2 weeks lol šŸ˜‚

SwimSwim · 22/10/2018 19:46

@eviev28 Saturday sounds good to me too but as I'm off Friday, I know I'll be really tempted then. I'll be so disappointed though if it's BFN so might try to hold out as long as I can. This feels like the longest 2 weeks ever!! šŸ™ˆšŸ˜‚

Sric1994 · 22/10/2018 18:59

@sav89 just light cramps. I’ve had a go at testing and got a BFN. Hopefully it’s just too early! I’m not feeling that hopeful now to be honest!

pinkstar01 · 22/10/2018 18:08

Hi ladies,
I'm in my 2ww.
33 TTC #2 for about a year.
Really hoping this is the month...I havn't been charting or doing OPKs so I think my ovulation timings been off this whole time, this month we DTD much earlier which im hoping will make a difference.
I'm about 8/9 DPO - last night I felt a sharp stabbing in my uterus on the left side which I'm really hoping was implantation, fingers crossed!
Really hoping this is the month because I'm scheduled for a diagnostic laparoscopy next month, which wont allow us to TTC for atleast 1-2 cycles.
