Hi fellow ttc-ers.

I’m 9dpo on cycle 8 of ttc baby #2.

No real symptoms at all. A few cramps, I’m hungry and generally I’m just in an absolutely foul mood.

Anyone want to join me on route to test day at the end of the week?

@Chefwifelife thanks! 🤣 lol yes you did tell me. It's just so strange as although I have heard stories about not getting BFP until over a week/ 2 week late I never thought that would be me!

Good luck with ov! This is the lucky thread so must be your month! Xxx

@chefwifelife thanks. What’s Ovusense? I’ve heard of people talking about it before - is it a bracelet? I’m using clear blue advanced but only started this morning, expecting a flashy smile tomorrow and ov maybe Saturday 🤞

As I am at home today I decided I would get in the doctors after being nearly 2 weeks late. I thought they will ask me when I last did a test so thought I better do one to say and this happened...... total shock!!!!

I just want to say to all you wonderful girls I don’t know how I would have got through the last couple of weeks without you letting me rant!!! I really really hope this is your month for those of you waiting for your BFP😘😘

@TwinkleStars15 Welcome! We are a lovely bunch 😊 good luck for this month xxx

TwinkleStars15 · 03/09/2019 20:59

I followed this thread last month as I was at the same stage as you all, also got bfn. I’m expecting ovulation over the next 4-5 days so will start testing again tomorrow. Anyone else at the same stage? This is cycle 2/3 for us, trying for baby number 2 but rarely get time to dtd!

sofiathe2nd · 02/09/2019 11:06

@May2311 actually frustrated on your behalf! How dare AF go missing.. especially when you're TTC

Don't get too disheartened before ov. With my first we DTD the day AF finished and got pregnant then :) so worth a try :)

May2311 · 01/09/2019 13:45

Morning everyone! I’m actually feeling fine. Just no AF😂 I think because I know I’m not pregnant and I have a plan to see the docs later this week if still no AF I’m feeling a lot better.

How’s everyone else? I agree I always find the TWW upto OV quite boring! Xx

@May2311 and the rest of you lovely lot? How are you all doing? Currently building up to ov. I swear this bit is so much more boring than the 2ww!

@May2311

Very weird then that she just hasn't arrived ???

I'm ok thank you x Insomnia is driving me mad but I don't mind any symptoms as it's all worth it x other than that I'm ok thank you x

May2311 · 30/08/2019 09:31

@Chefwifelife ooo good luck! How strange is that- you wouldn't think it would be so different! You DTD every other until positive OV?

@Lifesforlivingandloving massively regularly which is so bizarre. perhaps my body playing tricks on me!! How are you getting on?

Oh @May2311 that’s crap! I hope the witch turns up so you can crack on with your next cycle. My cycles were awful when ttc DS. Between 29-52 days!

Cd8 here and the first night of using ovusense. My bbt is way lower than I was getting using the thermometer!

Lifesforlivingandloving · 30/08/2019 08:38

@May2311
Ahhhh that must be so frustrating! Definitely go to the doctors if no AF in the next few days - even if just for some answers / reassurance x
Are your cycles usually regular? X

May2311 · 30/08/2019 08:21

@Chefwifelife 😂😂😂 well I tested and it was BFN! Have no idea what's going on but I'm just gonna try and forget about it for the next week and speak to docs if no AF by next week! I actually feel ok about it- I already knew really. It's just not knowing when AF will arrive!! When are you due to OV?

How's everyone else doing? Where about in your cycle are you up to? Xxx

@May2311 I’ve got everything crossed for you (except my legs because ahem you know dtd 😂)

May2311 · 29/08/2019 13:36

Not bad! No update going to test in the morning and then ring the doctor if nothing by next wed! I just don't understand. I'm trying to not get stressed by it🙈

@sidewaysS how are you getting on? Xx

sidewaysS · 29/08/2019 11:55

@May2311 how are you doing hun?

Chefwifelife · 29/08/2019 05:38

@May2311 that is late! I normally ov around cd16-18. To be honest if you test this morning, and you’re sure of your aprox ov date then a bfp should defo show. We’re here for ya if it’s a bfn.

Ovusense is an interval bbt monitor. So I’m going to use that instead of opks.

May2311 · 28/08/2019 20:43

@Chefwifelife also ovusense is that similar to pre seed?

May2311 · 28/08/2019 20:42

@Chefwifelife never ever been late before! Maybe like 1 day but never this much- our bodies are awful! This is my 3rd PROPER cycle but been off contraception since early this year in preparation. That is odd if you don't usually get it. When are you expecting to ovulate? I might end up testing in the morning- if I am pregnant it must show up by tomorrow I would think- surely waiting till Friday will make no difference! X
