Hi all,

AF arrived today so thought I would start a new thread....feel free to join.

First cycle since MMC and ERPC on 1st October, following BFP straight after implant removal.

Bit odd for me, first proper AF in a few years.

Hoping this is the month!

Hey @Nic555 how many flashing smileys before your static? I'm on 3 flashing now... xx

Nic555 · 20/11/2019 09:06

Welcome both.

I got my static this morning 😁 I have been fed up of scheduled sex so not tried as hard this month. DTD Saturday and last night. Won't be able to tonight as I am away with work but will have one more try tomorrow just in case and then it's the dreaded 2WW. Not feeling particularly hopeful but then I never do. Hoping not to symptom spot this month but will probably be no chance of that.

Good luck everyone xx

Hello ladies, please can I join too?
Age 37, ttc #3, cycle 13. MC at 5 weeks in July. Cycle has been ranging from 25 - 31 days, think I am now 6dpo. Trying not to symptom spot! Good luck to everyone in the 2ww.

HugeAgeGap · 20/11/2019 07:48

Hi girls, can I join in? I recognise some from previous months bus! I've been staying away from the boards after feeling miserable about AF coming end of October but now think 1dpo so thought I'd join the 2WW again!

Not exactly feeling postitive about this month as OH been ill, we only managed to dtd lunchtime the following day after getting the +OPK test the previous day lunchtime, so 24 hours after I picked up the surge. That was yesterday, so am guessing 1dpo today, probably not worth stressing OH out to dtd tonight as think it's prob to late.

Anyhow, look forward to the symptom spotting girls!

AliSxo · 19/11/2019 22:59

@Sunshinexx95 I've had EWCM tonight but other than that my IC's are up and down, flashing smileys today and yesterday, hoping for my static tomorrow!! Xx

Shuckle · 19/11/2019 22:32

@Sunshinexx95 good luck, still time yet! Have you been DTD lots in case your sticks just haven't picked up the surge? X

Sunshinexx95 · 19/11/2019 22:00

Hi everyone,
Hope everyone is well! Everyone is excited about tww 😀.. I'm too to be honest.
But I haven't ovulated yet.. this month is actually crazy ... I have been testing with ovulation stick.. but my LH keeps going up and down.. so crazy.. and I am supposed to ovulate on the 21st according to my app. 😞 but I haven't had a strong line on the ovulation stick yet. I have had a line but not as dark or darker then the test line so I assumed it wasn't ovulation...
Wish me good luck guys and that I ovulate soon 😞

ceebee21 · 19/11/2019 21:40

@LoveRainbow02 you’re similar to me I think.my cycle after miscarriage last month was around 32 days and ovulated on day 21.

This month I OV on CD15...not sure when to test.

I am 3DPO

It's quite reassuring to hear that implantation doesn't happen for a while - I can tell myself my symptoms are all in my head for now! Definitely keep jumping to conclusions every time I get a tummy twinge but being on holiday with different food and water it's hardly surprising my tummy is funny 😂

whatsthecraic91 · 19/11/2019 20:35

Wow lots of activity today! Hi to all the newbies 👋🏼

@Shuckle yes!! Tell the sun to wait for me!!

Only in from work so defo not DTD tonight, bath and bed to watch I’m a celeb 😁

LoveRainbow02 · 19/11/2019 20:34

I think its really rare for implantation to happen at 5dpo and likely I'm not 1 of the lucky ones lol. My boobs also ache in the tww so cant really use that as a new symptom either. Wish I could poas already 😂

MrsTwentySeven · 19/11/2019 20:15

@bella330

Thanks! I hope he does too! Good luck with your 2WW! It does seem like a good sign for sure!!

Bella330 · 19/11/2019 20:12

@MrsTwentySeven you could ovulate any day now! It’s well within the norm range though with a 31 day cycle. Hope your DH is feeling better soon really soon! Fingers crossed for you.

@LoveRainbow02 could very possible that it’s early implantation?? The unknown is just awful!!

OH has just come home from work - I’m in my pjs slouched on sofa and he’s said my boobs look huge today! They don’t ache yet though... I’m hoping it’s a good sign as they ache massively in my 2WW usually.

LoveRainbow02 · 19/11/2019 20:06

I'm a poas addict too so it's all good lol. I'm seriously cramping tonight but trying not to think it's related as I'm only 5dpo lol! Have just eaten dinner so blaming that instead 😂

MrsTwentySeven · 19/11/2019 20:04

@Bella330 31 days ....very bizarre why i ovulate so late !

Bella330 · 19/11/2019 20:03

@Shuckle I’m using the Ovia app too. Hopefully we get a beautiful dark BFP this month!

@LoveRainbow02 yes I think it will be a long one just means I have to wait even longer to POAS!! I’m a bit of an addict!

@MrsTwentySeven how long are your cycles usually?

MrsTwentySeven · 19/11/2019 19:56

DH has the flu 😭
DTD on second day of flashing smiley on CD 18....might have to hope for a miracle 🤷🏾‍♀️ my 2WW will be very chilled atleast 🤔
Welcome newbies!

LoveRainbow02 · 19/11/2019 19:22

@Bella333 yeah I used ic this month and confirmed ovulation. When I was trying to concieve my son i was using those and also tracking bbt for 2 years before i got pregnant but I dont want to delve right into all that again so soon. Trying to be as relaxed as possible but time will tell if i manage lol.

Yeah cd21 does seem a little late but you may be having a long cycle this month? I used to be a 28 day regular person but lately I'm a bit all over the place.

AliSxo · 19/11/2019 19:18

Hey @Nic555 still only using electric OPKS in the morning, 2 days of flashing smileys so hoping for the static tomorrow. Also I've been doing OPKS every time I've been to the loo and tonight's is the darkest. 💕 xx

Shuckle · 19/11/2019 18:31

@Bella330 we're very similar then Smile never used OPK's until this month's, been tracking on the Fitbit app for a year and it predicted day 13 ovulation based on avg 26 day cycles. Tested using OPK's from day 9 this cycle and got the positive on day 16, so my fitbit app also says 1st December for AF/BFP Grin I have been using the ovia app as well for 2 months and that is a bit more clever with the CM and mood tracking so that says AF due 28th November but I'm going to wait until 1st to test as I know it'll just be a waste of money and disappointment sooner x

Bella330 · 19/11/2019 18:01

So sorry about your MC the exact same happened to me last year! Once and BAM pregnant unfortunately mine resulted in a MC too.

Well I’m usually 28-30 day cycles, usually O on CD16 or 17. This month 21! So I’m thinking it would make my AF due a bit later? 28-30 day cycle would mean AF is due next Thursday latest. However because I O’d late my app is saying 1st December!
Think I might do next Friday and I’ll tell myself not to be disappointed if it’s BFN.

Did you use OPK’s this month?

LoveRainbow02 · 19/11/2019 17:53

I should be due on the 28th but unsure as my cycle last month after my mc was 34 days. I'll probably test around the 26th but I'm so nervous and already feel like I didnt dtd enough during the fertile window. Trying to ignore this though as in September I conceived after only having sex once in the fertile window and whilst still being on the pill 😔. When do you reckon you will test?

Bella330 · 19/11/2019 17:48

Hi @LoveRainbow02

Currently 2 DPO already analysing the odd twinge 🙈 apart from that nothing. I usually get sore boobs straight after O but nothing as of yet.

When are you planning on testing?

LoveRainbow02 · 19/11/2019 17:44

This thread sure moves quick lol. Hi to all the newbies and good luck, fingers crossed we all get our bfp's in time for christmas 😊

I'm now 5dpo, promised myself I wouldnt symptom spot during the tww but i had a few sharp twinges today and immediately i started symptom spotting 😂.

I'm going to drive myself crazy!! How is everyone else feeling?

Bella330 · 19/11/2019 17:36

I swear the flashing smileys were mocking me this month I couldn’t believe it. Last month was fine using the kit.

How many DPO are you now?
