Hi ladies,

I have been TTC for four months now. I actually didn't realise how stressful this whole experience is. I shouldn't have expected for it to happen straight away but i'm so impatient.

Anyway, would love to see who else is out there to join me on my TWW. I used CB ovulation tests this month and dtd the day before ovulation. I had an HSG last month and my tubes are all clear so that's good to know.

I am only about 2dpo. Obviously no symptoms the only thing worth mentioning is I have been getting these weird gurgling/popping noises in my stomach. It's SO strange I've never had this before. Maybe it's because I'm drinking lots of pineapple juice which I never normally do, who knows! What are you all doing to keep yourself occupied and not obsessing over this tww?!

I've booked my first acupuncture session this Friday so hopefully that will help de-stress me! Good luck to you all, would love to hear your stories x

Hello @MrsLBear how are you getting on?
Well, I got this on Thursday! I want to be excited but I've had some brownish discharge since and today it's turned red but still very light. I'm meant to get AF today and if I hadn't taken that test, I'd just assume she was here! I'm wondering if I've aggravated something because we DTD this morning. Ahhh so stressful isn't it?!

Hi ladies!
How is everyone getting on?!

PinkLady89x · 01/11/2018 18:58

Good luck! It could be a few days after AF is due so don't give up hope yet. As for me, I got full on AF 4 days late and I'm on CD3 now so I'm quite excited for what this month has to bring. Once AF actually comes, it then just gets exciting again 😊

closedcircuit · 01/11/2018 18:20

AF due today but hasn't arrived yet. Test was BFN on FRER. Hoping i have super late implantation going on but unlikely. Feeling gutted Sad

PinkLady89x · 30/10/2018 19:15

Ahh! Wishing you luck for the next month! I'm sure there will be more BFPs 😊. I'm still only lightly spotting and it's driving me mad! I'm assuming it's so weird because I only miscarried about 8 weeks ago. Ugh! Maybe I didn't conceive this month because my body is still messed up from the MMC so I've got my fingers crossed for a fresh start next month with my system hopefully being normal again! It's not easy being a woman 😂

MrsLBear · 30/10/2018 15:10

Oh that's a shame! My AF came on Saturday in full swing so it's another month of trying for us!
Wishing the months by at this rate.

PinkLady89x · 29/10/2018 18:02

Hi Guys,
So (sorry if TMI) I've had a very tiny amount of brownish spotting today. Not really anything there when I wipe but still, it's there! I'm guessing I'm out for this month now! I'll be sure to hang around next month and hopefully there'll be more BFP to be seen! I'm not going to test anymore unless it all stops because I'm fed up of the very faint lines that I'm constantly staring at HmmConfused. How is everyone else today? X

HouseplantInvasion · 28/10/2018 21:45

Fingers crossed for you @PinkLady89x I really hope your lines suddenly start darkening. It must be really tough to be around children so much too x

HouseplantInvasion · 28/10/2018 21:43

I def want to use opks again, if nothing else I want to know for sure how long my luteal phase is generally, so I can predict af better! I thought it was always 14 days before but obviously not 🙄.
This month I got my positive opk Monday lunchtime, but dh was away until Tuesday night so I guess it was a long shot anyway as we only dtd Tuesday...so the game plan is more bd 👍

PinkLady89x · 28/10/2018 21:41

@HouseplantInvasion sorry to hear AF came! Good luck with your next cycle. I'm quite sure it will be me in the next day or so! I keep thinking any hour now it'll show its ugly face and ruin my day Sad

PinkLady89x · 28/10/2018 21:40

@closedcircuit thank you. I've checked out her post and it is reassuring. I still have NO sign of AF and first response is just giving me a ridiculously faint line so I'm now ignoring that because I've had it for a few days now! I've never in my life had a cycle that's more than 26 days and today is day 30... but, with my mmc, I know I ovulated only 12ish days ago so I'm not really counting the start of the cycle much! Ugh... I'm going to do one more first response in the morning before work. Back to work - in a primary school teacher - so constantly reminded about children Sad however they are so lovely and keep me excited for eventually when I get my chance! Any good stories of similar situations to keep me going? Positive thoughts? Wishing everyone luck Smile

closedcircuit · 28/10/2018 21:37

@Houseplantinvasion Yeah i think i will. I kept saying to myself last week only sunday and wednesday i will test! And then friday night ive been testing almost twice a day... Envy i have no self control this month at all.

Are you going to use OPKs next cycle too? Any game plans?

HouseplantInvasion · 28/10/2018 21:33

Thanks @closedcircuit, I was almost convinced with all my symptoms, just goes to show there really is no knowing doesn’t it!

Are you going to test in the morning? Fingers tightly crossed for you getting a darker line x

closedcircuit · 28/10/2018 21:14

Always so glamorous peeing into a pot!! Ah well nothing glamorous about babies at all.

So sorry to hear AF is here already! I wouldnt worry about it too much theres so many factors for it arriving early - you had quite a lot of symptoms for a long time too!

I tested and i think im going insane. FRER had a faint line but you cant pick it up on camera and im not sure it had any colour either!

12DPO tomorrow...

HouseplantInvasion · 28/10/2018 16:05

Doh, tests arrived, peed into testing pot (lovely and glamorous this isn’t it), then realised AF is def here, 2 days early! Of course, since I had pee and a test, I tested anyway, and I swear there’s the faintest of squinters again, but this is def AF so who knows what’s going on.
This is my first month of opk testing, so that puts me at a 12 day luteal phase, which I’m now worried is too short!

HouseplantInvasion · 28/10/2018 15:29

Do it!! Mine still isn’t here and I’m not sure how many stops away it is, still haven’t had a wee as don’t want to waste it! 😂 I guess I’m prob not pregnant anyway as I doubt I’d be waiting 4hours plus if I was lol

closedcircuit · 28/10/2018 14:22

I was expecting my amazon delivery for tomorrow but its only 1 stop away now.... tempted to do another this evening!

HouseplantInvasion · 28/10/2018 11:00

Hi all, I’m 12dpo I think today, but I have run out of tests! Waiting for my amazon cheapies to be delivered and trying to not pee until then but no idea how long it will be 😂.

I had some proper annoying tests yesterday that had a strong line pop up in the first few minutes, and it was still there at 10 mins, but when I went to look at it later the line had almost completely disappeared, and now is only the squintiest squinter (like hardly visible at all unless you shine a light on it!). I’m still getting cramps and some light spotting (mostly brown but some pinky red) since 8dpo. Def feelingmore like it’s just going to end in AF but guess it’s not over yet!

Seems like a few of us have had super faint lines that haven’t really darkened yet, I really hope some of them at least turn to bfps....getting a bit fed up of seeing bfn’s now!

closedcircuit · 28/10/2018 10:43

Page 6* sorry!

closedcircuit · 28/10/2018 10:38

@MrsLBear i understand exactly what you mean.

@Houseplantinvasion im really sorry to hear about the BFNs. Its really disappointing in the end.

@GreyC same here, a lot of my friends announced pregnancies this whole year whilst i was waiting to TTC and actively started. I love that they're pregnant and i love asking questions and knowing how they're getting on but its still sad.

@mrs20118 ahh the start of a cycle the exciting bit of starting fresh! (Until the novelty has worn off)

@PinkLady89x oooo thats interesting!! sav89 posted a picture pg7 take a look at it. Its the only thing giving me hope right now!

@Barker26 hello lovely! I keep thinking im seeing lines but dont think anythings there its just white lines. Waiting for my FRERs to arrive tomorrow morning and will test again

Barker26 · 28/10/2018 10:21

@closedcircuit @houseplantinvasion how you girls getting on? @pinklady86 if you ovulated late your AF will show later, if you're 5 days late but you ovulated late your normal time of AF due wouldn't give the egg enough time to implant IYSWIM? I think its called luteal phase? No news is good news though as they say!

PinkLady89x · 28/10/2018 10:18

Hey ladies,
I haven't posted for a couple of days because there's nothing to report! So annoying! My AF is now late by about 5 days (which has NEVER happened in my life) but still nothing showing on a preg test. I know I ovulated late this cycle and I'm assuming it's because of my mmc 2 months ago. So that may push AF back a week or so! But it's just so annoying with no sign of AF and still a very pathetic faint line on a first response! I'm now about 12 or 13 dpo. Anyone been this far and still got a neg that went on to a pos? I think I've given up in my head now xx

mrsof20118 · 27/10/2018 15:21

Good luck to all those testing and I guess hello to those joining the new two week window. Cd3 for me now x

GreyC · 27/10/2018 13:47

I’m due on tomorrow/Monday. Pretty sure I have very mild cramps (I’m ignoring them basically!) I don’t generally test unless I’m late as I can’t bare to see one.
Finding it really hard at the minute. A lot of my friends have announced their are pregnant (which is amazing @ fantastic) but I’m not and it makes me sad.
Trying to be positive on to the next cycle!!

HouseplantInvasion · 27/10/2018 10:01

Morning all! It’s another BFN this morning for me at 11dpo, so not feeling at all confident anymore. Still have all the same symptoms but the closer I get to af due date (tues) the more likely it seems that it’s just crazy pms for the whole 2 weeks!

I did 2 tests, and did think there was a faint line starting to show on both of them in the first 5 mins, but by the time 10 mins was up the lines were gone 🙁.

How’s everyone else?
