Hello!

So after breastfeeding for 10months and not having a period since beau fell pregnant with my first baby (11.5months old) my period finally came back 16th Aug...11months after my daughter was born.
We had been trying for baby number 2 for a while but honestly it was so hard not knowing where I stood re ovulation and period. So I couldn't properly get into the swing of it lol.
Since my period returned, I have kept tracked using the ovia app, and we gave it a good jolly go all of last week when it said I should be ovulating (poor hubby didn't know what hit him hahahahah)!
I'm not expecting to be one of those lucky few (you know the ones who fall preg the first time!) but, thought it'd be nice to have some support from women going through the same journeys.

Ps, i don't know what all the abbreviations are in other threads I've seen so I may need help!

@sprintfinish it's every other day in your fertile window then every day for 3 days once you get a positive opk I think ... might try it next month as we're getting too close to having another December baby for my liking 😂

What's preseed and how does it work?

whambam89 · 23/10/2019 15:59

@vialarooski think I'm in the tww now but I'm also not 100% as I had that weird mid cycle bleed and have had ovulation symptoms the last couple of days so who knows! Think I'm out this cycle just because of the uncertainty of when I actually ovulated. So on to cycle 4 😴

I feel like it's never going to happen but at the same time we haven't really been giving it our best shot

Wrigleys123 · 23/10/2019 10:18

Yes Cycle Day! At least you are being positive that sounds good to me!

@Wrigleys123 what is CD? God I'm so bad at these abbreviations! Cycle day? I'm due AF tomorrow and I'm already feeling like I've got the period cramps. I knew It wasn't gonna be a successful cycle this month as we only DTD twice in our fertile window and I always discount the first "session"! It's ok though, I've got my hubby's bday in a couple weeks and I've organised a big night out with some friends for it so I'm gonna enjoy that and get cracking in the next cycle!

I'm in the one week wait camp now ha! Think I'm out as got AF symptoms already.

I can't remember who has a BFP and who doesn't so sorry if I can't keep up!

@sprintfinish I think it is have sex every other day from CD8 until you get a positive OPK and then once more. So just loads of sex basically haha. I tried it this month but then got ill so failed massively!

@vialarooski what cd are you on now?

Sprintfinish · 22/10/2019 14:04

Cycle #3 coming up, fertile window starts this week. I've bought my preseed and I'm ready to go 😁

Could be a chemical pregnancy littlepea? Hope you are alright anyhow, it's so frustrating being stuck in limbo!

littlepeaegg · 17/10/2019 14:20

My blood test was negative.

But I had brown spotting last night.

Nothing today!!

What is going on.

Wrigleys123 · 16/10/2019 18:27

Good luck littlepea you never know!

littlepeaegg · 16/10/2019 16:24

@Vialarooski I had a blood test done today! Find out tomorrow. I have a feeling that I'm
Not pregnant though now. Just because the last time I had sex was 28th and 29th sept! I have no idea on ovulation though. But from the last two times I had sex, I'm sure I'd have a bfp now xx

@littlepeaegg you need to get one of those "pregnant" "not pregnant" sticks just to put your mind at rest! That would drive me crazy! I can see a faint line but I have a tendency to see things I want to see, fingers crossed for you 😘

I had an overwhelming taste of metallic in my mouth today whilst shopping in asda. It was so weird, it was like I'd literally been sucking the trolley bars 😆 however I've had a swollen gum above my front/side tooth so assuming it came from that. It was so strong I had to have a polo to get rid of the taste 😖

I did one this morning and don't think I saw anything so I have just done one again and it's similar but I can see it better!

Wrigleys123 · 16/10/2019 13:43

Will you test again littlepea? I thought I could see a line but not sure when looking again! Good luck!

littlepeaegg · 15/10/2019 20:13

Late period.... no idea when I ovulated but had sex in fertile period. Can anyone see this line ?

I was due af at weekend. Usually have a 29/30day cycle and now day 33.

BFN yesterday at dr on her test.

This test was done this afternoon

Thanks Wrigleys and Wham. Hope everyone has good luck this month 🤞

whambam89 · 15/10/2019 16:02

@sprintfinish the brand was freedom. I actually said to OH last week that if I didn't know better I would say I'm pregnant, I've been quite nauseous and very tired but a FRER should definitely show up by now so I'm obviously not x

Sprintfinish · 15/10/2019 15:24

@whambam89 how frustrating that your cycles are acting up. That line looked strong aswell, what brand is it? Do you have any symptoms?

I'm out for this month, AF arrived on Sunday. It's so frustrating but not as down about it this month thankfully. I'm ordering some pre seed to see if that'll help.

whambam89 · 15/10/2019 11:06

FRER is a BFN so god knows what's going on 🤷‍♀️

whambam89 · 15/10/2019 08:59

@wrigleys123 I need to go and buy a more expensive one because apparently these are known for false positives but I've also heard people say that the line would probably not be that clear if it was a false positive 🤷‍♀️

Wrigleys123 · 15/10/2019 08:02

I see a line whambam ! Are you going to do another test today? Smile

whambam89 · 14/10/2019 22:39

I'm not going crazy am I.. there is a second line there? I'm so confused!

Hi everyone and congrats on the BFPs!
I've been off the app to try and stop obsessing over every little thing but it appears I couldn't stay away 😂

I'm after a bit of advice... AF showed up on the 5th October (3 days early) and lasted 5 days as opposed to my usual 3. I went to the bathroom earlier (CD10) and had bloody discharge when I wiped (sorry TMI)...google says this could be ovulation bleeding which I've never had before and I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

There's another thread where this reads basically word for word and the lady ended up being pregnant.. trying not to get that idea in my head though 😂

My body has basically just decided to play games since we've started TTC 🙄😴

Wrigleys123 · 13/10/2019 12:34

Congrats allez that's great news! A summer baby will be so nice!

allezallezallez · 13/10/2019 11:37

Hello everyone, was trying to wait until CD34 to test because cycle is sometimes longer, made it to this morning, CD33 and got a BFP! Still can’t believe it, was so sure I was out!
