@meepmoop glad it's not just me 🤣 it seems to inflate as the day goes on! My partner mentioned it the other day I thought it won't look as obvious as it feels but apparently it does😬x

Lottiepink · 21/03/2019 22:05

@MrsP4 your DH is better than mine, mine wouldn't buy anything like that, condoms, tests,vitamins... Nothing 🙄🙄🤣🤣

MrsP4 · 21/03/2019 21:58

Thanks @Lottiepink

@Tryingforno2 DH bought some boots digital ones today as they and no FRER has anyone ever used them?

Lottiepink · 21/03/2019 21:15

@MrsP4 fab news 🤞🏻🤞🏻 for you 😊

meepmoop · 21/03/2019 20:47

@Tryingforno2 I was exactly the same, proper bloated really early. I'm struggling to not look pregnant at the moment. I think when I tell people they'll say I thought you were

Tryingforno2 · 21/03/2019 20:43

Ooooo yes @MrsP4 get poas! 👍🏼🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 xxxx

Tryingforno2 · 21/03/2019 20:42

@Rodgers2017 I'm soooo bloated 🙈😬 I know with a second babies things are supposed to kind of just pop out ready for growth as your body knows what's coming so you can start showing really early but 4 weeks!?? I didn't even start showing a little bit until 15 weeks with number 1....
Yep I've had a little cramping too just mild nothing painful xxx

Rodgers2017 · 21/03/2019 19:35

Fingers crossed for you @MrsP4 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Tryingforno2 I'm keeping good- have had some pulling/stretching/mild cramps today and I was knackered earlier but I'm so excited/nervous! How are you?! Xx

MrsP4 · 21/03/2019 19:07

@Tryingforno2 I will do! Might test on Tuesday if no AF by then, think she's due anytime between Monday and weds, hope the next few days go quick!

Tryingforno2 · 21/03/2019 19:01

Thanks @Rodgers2017 how are you doing? X

Rodgers2017 · 21/03/2019 19:00

@Tryingforno2 that's a really good test! How exciting ☺️

Tryingforno2 · 21/03/2019 18:21

@MrsP4 I think it might be! 😉 keep us updated with any new signs! Xx

MrsP4 · 21/03/2019 17:56

@Tryingforno2 Thank you I'm on cycle 6 hoping this will be the one but I say that every cycle 😂

Tryingforno2 · 21/03/2019 17:38

Great news @MrsP4! Glad all your results are good! What cycle number are you on now? Xx

MrsP4 · 21/03/2019 15:59

Just got my blood test results back

A progesterone level above 30 nmol/l is considered proof of ovulation (in that cycle)

And mine was 49 nmol/l

So I'm definitely ovulating and DH sperm is fine so I guess it's just a waiting game and waiting for our turn feel a lot better about it all now

My bloods were done at 5DPO not sure if my progesterone level is high but it's above what it says so I'm happy really hoping for a BFP next week 🙏🏻

Tryingforno2 · 21/03/2019 15:13

Ps @Lottiepink I NEVER hold my wee for opks and it works just fine! X

Tryingforno2 · 21/03/2019 15:12

@Lottiepink yeah I've heard of loads of people having success on that plan! We only do it 3 or 4 times whole cycle / I think overdoing can be counter productive plus it starts to feel like a job for me and my other half we both work and have a 2 year old and by the time bedtime comes we are pretty knackered! 🤣 x

Lottiepink · 21/03/2019 15:08

@Tryingforno2
Thank you, I'll defo try and do more opk's this time. Hate not being able to go to the toilet for such a long time tho ha! Might give the morning a go just to see 🤣 no hard I suppose lol! We did that last cycle, well mainly the bit when you get the positive and dtd 3 days in a row miss one, then again on day 5, I defo ov'd within the time too... think I will try it again this month 😊

Lottiepink · 21/03/2019 15:03

@MrsP4 good luck 😊

MrsP4 · 21/03/2019 14:51

@Lottiepink Thank you I'm just at the doctors now waiting to be seen

Tryingforno2 · 21/03/2019 14:44

@Lottiepink I use 2 a day one mid morning and one mid afternoon - sperm survives for up to 6 days inside you so as long as you do it every day over your fertile window you should be good! Try the sperm meets egg plan? Xx

Tryingforno2 · 21/03/2019 14:38

@Waiting2bMum I'm ok I'm feeling a bit icky and my boobs hurt bit all in all I feel ok, how are you doing? I just want these tests to be nice and dark within the next few days and I will feel a bit better xx

@Hannah192 pleased I'm not the only one 🤣🤣 I normally am quite calm during the ttw, don't know how though 😂
I would assume that you didn't ovulate on Sunday with getting the positive that day, unless you got it on the morning and possibly ov'd on the night. Mine is normally 1-2 days after, but my temp confirms it and I usually feel it too. The temp is the best way to confirm it I think.

Question for everyone how many opk's do yous usually do a day? I just do one usually until I get the positive, think I'll do more this cycle, so I can see how long the surge lasts and to pin point it a little more clearly..

Also another question... we usually dtd on a night as we don't have time on a morning, think I will try and mix it up a bit this cycle though to see if it helps... was thinking if my window of ov is small and only dtd on a night, would there be a chance of me missing it you think?? We do normally dtd each night around the time of ov though..

Just thinking of different ways to try and catch it ha!
