TTC #2 September

Fingers crossed sprint!

Tested again today, bfn but still no sign of AF. Test is an Amazon cheapie with expiry date 10/2019 but no reason not to trust it. I don't feel pregnant but with AF now lateish I have no idea what's going on 🤔

Yes I don't know what possessed me! Good luck you are still in it fingers crossed!

£80! Oh boy, hopefully you'll get the hang of it. I've never had a positive result on an ovulation tests and they discouraged me when trying for DC1 so gave up.

I tested on Thursday (cd28) and it was negative. My cycle has been 28 days past 2 months but before that was anywhere from 29-32 days so I'm not sure where I'm at! No spotting which is unusual for me so will test again in morning but not feeling hopeful.

Still only at cd11 here so long way to go! Ordered this ovusense thing to help pinpoint ovulation but I can't get to grips with it so that's 80 pounds down the drain!

How about you @Sprintfinish are you testing soon?

How's everyone getting on?

@allezallezallez ha ha honestly I was so relieved we wouldn't have to DTD so much
I forgot to mention I also used pre-seed too.

@Sprintfinish its an amazing feeling, but then the worry instantly sets in.

I've been a bit worried as i've still been testing (silly I know).
But I had a strong ish positive on a FRER on Sunday, but then yesterday and this morning I had vvvvf lines on a normal test (25miu tests) I would have thought my HCG levels would be enough to be strong on a normal test, i'm just hoping the levels get stronger.

I've been having horrible cramps, I dropped my Son to school and could have sworn I was bleeding, I ran to the toilet and nothing, I cried with relief.

Now the roller-coaster starts! x

Aah great news @HayleyD84 😁🎉 It's such a good feeling getting that bfp!

I got a faint line on ovulation test this morning, so didn't bother using pregnancy test. If no AF symptoms today will likely give in and test tomorrow.

Yes same here allez

A little pineapple baby haha! So cute!

Ok sounds like it’s going to be smep for me next month! Dh won’t know what’s hit him!

June is a lovely month for a baby.
How are you feeling?

@allezallezallez thank you due date is 17th June.

@Wrigleys123 Thank you I have been taking Fertility Smart Advanced vitamins for the last 3 months but this month I did two things different, I followed the SMEP plan, now this is intense, but after nearly a year trying I get my BFP the first months doing this!

Also the day after I ovulated I ate Pineapple Core for about 9 days after (now its very chewy and not the nicest) but this is supposed to help implantation, google pineapple core when trying to conceive, I was amazed at what I read and thought i'd give it a try.

Good luck with your journeys xxxxxx

Congratulations Hayley ! Did you do anything different this month of ttc? not that I'm going to make notes or anything

That’s amazing Hayley, congratulations! When are you due?

Hey all, so this happened today, I can't believe it!!! Xx

Think I should be 9 dpo and doing remarkably well refusing to symptom spot. AF due Thursday so hoping can hold off until Wednesday at least to test. Interested that using ovulation tests can work as I have loads of them! Have never got reliable results so don't bother with them for ovulation predication.

I am only around 7/8dpo so too early. But I tested anyway haha. I'm due on a week today

Argh sorry to hear that Allez . This thread needs some luck! You never know though you're still in the race for now

Hi wrigleys
Feeling pretty discouraged at the moment, had really sore boobs for a few days but it’s faded now so just waiting for AF... 🙁
Don’t think I’ll be testing any time soon

How is everyone doing? Anyone going to test soon?

Hi @dezzytc1 I think the only way to confirm is to get a pregnancy test, but with a missed period and 2 positive ovulation tests it sounds good for you! Let us know how you go on 🤞

Need some help and advice. I missed my period for the month of September. It is now October 2nd and my period still haven't came. I didn't have any pregnancy tests so I took a ovulation test as a pregnancy test which came out positive twice. Every since my period been late I haven't had any symptoms of pregnancy at all. is that normal?? Im scared to take a pregnancy test because I don't want to get my hopes up if its not positive. Have anyone else experienced something like this before??

I'm totally the same @littlepeaegg - I was super unhealthy in my approach the first half of this year, drives you slightly insane hence the restraint in testing. Feeling my boobs every 2 mins at the mo convinced they're bigger and I only ovulated 2/3 days ago. Need to distract myself !

@allezallezallez yep they worked, used the clearblue digital one that differentiates between 'high fertility' and 'peak fertility' (and then I subsequently had fertility testing at a clinic due to 6 months trying and not conceiving panic - and it backed up the predicted ovulation of the sticks). When I've conceived, it's always been sex 1 or 2 days prior to OV however (ie, when the stick flashes 'high fertility').

So last time we ttc I was so obsessed, it was quite unhealthy mentally for me actually! I used OPKs, thermometer etc so this time just being quite casual and only have my period/fertility tracker app!

Had sex twice in this last fertile window...

Had cramping yesterday and lots of watery fluid this evening with a shooting pain! And
It's soooo hard to not over think isn't it!! I mean I'm still 10 days (ish) away from period turning up so it's so early!!! So I know I'm being ridiculous !!
