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?

Cramps on and off here but no other symptoms. I wish I could fast forward to tomorrow morning!

Morning all

I also feel AF is on her way - lots of creamy CM so that's prob the start of it plus I feel sick and have some cramps
If she doesn't come today will be testing tomorrow with you guys but it's looking doubtful . But like they say your not out until she arrives

Good luck all and stay strong 💪 x

Morning!

I’m staying strong- no test till tomorrow.

It’s mainly because I know AF is on her way😔 Awful cramps last night.

What about you? Any signs she is on her way yet?

So Saturday is the day for LOTS of BFP!!

I’m trying to keep a PMA however I have AF cramps quite bad so I’m probably waking up to AF in the morning 🙄😣

may I’m completely the same-max 12day LP and got my lays bfp on 14dpo so don’t really want to test before Saturday. Plus I think what’s worse than an frer with fmu then wiping and finding af!

May2311 · 22/08/2019 20:07

@chefwifelife 😂😂 I knowww! Hopefully both are wrong!!! Do you think you will test in the morning or will you wait till Saturday? I must admit I’m tempted to test in the morning but I know I only have a 12day luteral phase so my thinking is I’m less likely to get that BFP if I test early😂

may put down those opks you nutter..... or poas but an actual preggo test and let’s see your bfp 😉

I am proper knicker twitching. 2 apps. One said af today-Wrong. Other app says tomorrow...... I’ve proper got the nerves that af will be here come the morning.

Anyone testing in the morning?

So again those of you who have read my previous posts I’m paranoid that I’m broken and ovulating twice in one cycle😂 I keep doing it to myself and taking ovulation tests which have been positive( v strong) since yesterday morning. Do you think it is just because my AF is coming? Or do you think I could actually be ovulating again? 😂 I totally know I am weird - don’t even know why I take them after I have already ovulated!

Lifesforlivingandloving · 22/08/2019 18:40

@May2311

I'm waiting till Saturday too if ugly AF doesn't arrive tomorrow x

May2311 · 22/08/2019 18:27

@sofiathe2nd😂😂😂 most definitely not fair.

@Lifesforlivingandloving I’ll be testing Saturday but really don’t think it’s my month😣 I expect AF will arrive tomorrow!

What about you?

Lifesforlivingandloving · 22/08/2019 16:33

Anyone testing tomorrow? Or are we all weekend testers? X

sofiathe2nd · 22/08/2019 08:26

I’m using Clue but no idea if it’s accurate yet.., what it’s telling me right now is I spend at least 10 days a month with PMT which doesn’t seem fair... or maybe I’m just a grumpy, crampy person generally.. pah

Fingers crossed for lots of BFPs this weekend x

Post us a pic of the opk 😃 I’ve got cramps but that’s it. I never used to get cramps before I had DS. Now they can start about 4/5 days before AF.

Oh bless DH. He’s obviously excited. So far I think flo has been pretty accurate for me. She says AF today for me. Ff says tomorrow. 🤔

OP posts:
May2311 · 22/08/2019 06:25

Morning😊 Feeling cramps- I think AF is on the way. I use Flo and just wondering how accurate it is. It seems to be accurate from what I can tell.

I have done another ov stick(just because I’m intrigued) positive still. At least I know for next month that it means AF is coming😂

I told my hubby about the sticks and he got all excited saying perhaps it means pregnancy as hormones rise- I felt so bad explaining that that’s not necessary true! I don’t want him getting his hopes up when AF feels like she is coming.

What about you?

Chefwifelife · 22/08/2019 05:29

Morning. I use ff as I was tracking my bbt but have stopped as it was just stressing me out. I also use flo. Any symptoms your way?

OP posts:
May2311 · 21/08/2019 20:56

@Chefwifelife sounding positive so far then! I have found today bad as I was WFH. Tomorrow I’m in the office so that will keep me from testing. It is Friday that I need to keep strong as I don’t work fridays😬 What apps do you use?

Original poster
Chefwifelife · 21/08/2019 19:46

may I normally have spotting a couple of days before af but nowt so far. I used 2 apps because I’m a ttc nutter and one says af is due tomorrow the other says Friday. I find these last couple of days the absolute worst part of the tww. Better slightly by the fact I’ve stopped buying IC tests as I was peeing on like 2 a days and had some awful “lines” that didn’t progress to anything. I’ve got my 2 frer downstairs ready. With DS I got my bfp at 14dpo so Saturday will be 14dpo if I make it that far!

How you holding up?

OP posts:
May2311 · 21/08/2019 17:39

@chefwifelife you are completely right! I just need to forget about it and get to the weekend 😬 how are you? Any signs of AF yet?

Original poster
Chefwifelife · 21/08/2019 16:45

Because it’s better to pee on an opk then a preggo test! I’d ignore that rogue opk for now

OP posts:
May2311 · 21/08/2019 15:24

@CD26 I thought I ov on 12 Aug( CD17) I’m due AF on Friday so that matches in with my dates so this surge has just confused me! Why I was testing anyway I don’t know!!!

What cd are you on? Any other signs of ov?

OP posts:
May2311 · 21/08/2019 14:29

@Chefwifelife 😂😂 if only that was what mine means- I really doubt it does though. What I’ve googled it means AF is on the way!

My panic though is whether I didn’t ovulate when I thought I did and for some reason I’m ovulating really late😂 I best DTD just in case!!

Chefwifelife · 21/08/2019 13:45

may I have literally just poas opk 😂 there’s zilch there though. I’ve also just been reading up on opks as predictors of bfp. Some people who get a very strong opk get their bfp. Some people don’t ever get a positive opk even though they get a bfp. So inconclusive! One of my cycles I was convinced I was preggo and I had a line on an opk and obv a bfn from the pregnancy point of view. Been having reoccurring dreams about positive pregnancy tests. Last one was my sister showing me her positive pregnancy test 😂

OP posts:
May2311 · 21/08/2019 13:09

Not sure whether I’m the only one who does this but even though I have already had a positive OPK this month, I continue to test 🙄 Today’s stick is just about positive- Am I right in thinking this means my AF is on its way? 😣

Anyone have any knowledge on stronger OPK just before AF is due?
