GrinHello! DTD this evening, due ov in 2 days...BrewBiscuit Just waiting now...maybe have a few more goes in the mean time. TTC#1

Maisy24 · 18/11/2019 21:58

How annoying is it that nearly all pregnancy symptoms are also symptoms af is on her way 😑 why couldn't it be simple and give us a clear sign straight after dtd if it had happened or not so we can just instantly forget it and move on 🤣 a bit like the sims 🤣🙈

CiaraJ01 · 18/11/2019 21:54

@Maisy24 he is!! He was trying to help me wrap xmas present ts - unsuccessfully!!! But hes such a softie 😍

@Skygirl1983 the plot thickens! So it could mean your pregnancy- or that AF is about to arrive?!

@mellymoo86 hows Barcelona?? @nt1992 not long left for you now! xx

Maisy24 · 18/11/2019 21:51

@mellymoo86 your Barcelona photo looks amazing! Hope you are having a good time! I'm also 7dpo, what do you mean by your cervix pointing to no pregnancy, if I check, what am I looking for? Xxxx

Maisy24 · 18/11/2019 21:48

@CiaraJ01 I've just seen your photo of your dog, is it a Rottweiler? My favourite breed 😍 xxx

mellymoo86 · 18/11/2019 21:40

@Skygirl1983 I did a LH stick before I left for Barcelona (Saturday) and it looked the same as yours. I watched YouTube videos on it but didn't really think much into it and binned it. I've been going down the 'feeling the cervix' route and it's been controlling my need to pee on pregnancy tests. At the moment it points to no pregnancy. Will see how week progresses.

nt1992 · 18/11/2019 20:34

Evening girls! How is everyone? AF is now finishing up nicely hopefully be all done tomorrow😍

Bunny2006 · 18/11/2019 20:20

Thank you @Skygirl1983! Oh definitely haha! I've been really bloated too which I don't normally get before AF. Good luck for when you start testing!

Skygirl1983 · 18/11/2019 20:10

I'll continue them for thr next few days and start hpt from friday too. See what happens.

Welcome @Bunny2006 it's a bit of a whirlwind in this thread! If you like to obsess about symptoms you'll fit right in! Lol!

@CiaraJ01 it can mean many things really, some people get an LH surge before AF but I'm still at least a week away from that, it can also detect pregnancy early on apparently, and it can also mean not a lot!! But my opk had no line at all right after I supposedly ovulated and that's one of the boldest lines I have had!!

CiaraJ01 · 18/11/2019 19:34

What does it mean @Skygirl1983?? Never k we that trick!

I still have achy boobs so not exercise related at this stage, its not a usually AF symptom either... but I've the cramps/heaviness that makes me think AF is definitely on her way 😒

Bunny2006 · 18/11/2019 19:32

I hope people don't mind me joining in so late! I've read most of the thread, I hope it's good news for those who are waiting to test/waiting for blood results.

I am TTC 1st baby, it's been a long time couldn't tell you what cycle! I was due on Saturday (26 day cycles) however am late. I wasn't sure I ovulated this month as had no obvious symptoms/discharge, I stopped using OPK's but have started tracking BBT but again couldn't see an obvious drop/rise? However have had cramping/niggly pinching but not like period pains all week. Barely DTD as I partner been away. I am scared to test as have seen far too many BFN but I'm thinking of doing a FRER tomorrow. x

Sorry @Maisy24 I was just intrigued as I'd read about it so thought I'd give it a go. I'll find the link to the article. I think a hot would still be negative.

I'm around 6/7dpo and feel crampy. My AF boobs haven't started yet but I'm expecting them soon.

Maisy24 · 18/11/2019 19:27

@Skygirl1983 omg I seen that and thought you got a positive test! What dpo are you now? Would be interesting for you to do a test to see if anything comes up!

I'm 7dpo today and I've had cramps on and off all day and back ache, are you getting this? I feel like AF is on her way already 😫 but my lutual is normally 12-14 days, surely not!

Skygirl1983 · 18/11/2019 18:21

Evening ladies. I'm feeling good. Wind has eased and no other symptoms. I thought I'd try out an opk to test out this theory of using it as an indicator and got a decent line on it!!! Does LH rise again after ovulation and before your period??

@PrettyGirl5545 I know I've impressed myself 😂😂 I think because I've had AF cramps on and off all weekend that's convinced me not to bother. I might try with FMU in the morning then if AF hasnt arrived by then 🤞

@Louu99 fingers crossed you get some answers!!

PrettyGirl5545 · 18/11/2019 17:33

@Louu99 Yes definitely they will. Do u know your Hcg levels of your last test? And what is the sensitivity level of your FrEr? We can find out if the levels have increased with this i think

mellymoo86 · 18/11/2019 17:32

@Louu99 yeah see how it goes, my friend got treated terribly by NHS and I have to tbh. I personally hate it and as soon as I get my referral for anything I go private. My GP appointments are done via webcam or phone and they either send me a referral or post me my medicine which comes the next day. It's brilliant.

See how it goes but always follow your instincts. My friend kept getting sent home saying there's nothing to worry about. And I think doctors always assume you worry for no reason. She got a home swob test from superdrug and it came back positive for a infection which she is now treated for. Imagine if she never found it!

Louu99 · 18/11/2019 17:21

@Skygirl1983 I seem to be quite windy anyway but I was extra windy yes! My partner certainly noticed 😂 I couldn't believe how nice they all were and saw to me while I was waiting with my mum! She seems to be ok, had been waiting months for this appointment so when they rang last minute I was "yes! Go for it!"

@stepmumma91@mrsio if anything happens like this again (god forbid) I'll definitely be ringing! I'm glad it's being sorted now but the wait is a killer!

@mellymoo86 @PrettyGirl5545 I think if my levels have increased and are still increasing on Wednesdays test I'll ask for an early scan, if they say no then I'll pay private and go somewhere. Although I suppose they might keep a closer eye on me anyway?

Xx

PrettyGirl5545 · 18/11/2019 17:14

@tamalama don't worry. In the last cycle, I had this ovary pain even after ovulation. It continued till 10 dpo and i was so confused if I'm ovulating late or not .

PrettyGirl5545 · 18/11/2019 17:11

@Louu99 yes atleast we can know the levels of hcg. You are very positive, beautiful lady! I hope everything goes well. Waiting for your blood reports.

@CiaraJ01 I'd suggest you to test a day before when AF is supposed to arrive darling. 14 dpo is good to test. I love you for the way you've waited till 14 dpo. Patience in the 2ww is commendable!!! I'm very weak at it..

mellymoo86 · 18/11/2019 16:51

@Louu99 when my friend was 3-4 weeks pregnant she was worried about her pregnancy so she paid privately and had a camera put in to make sure everything was ok. Let us know how bloods come back. Fingers crossed.

@Skygirl1983 how are you feeling? My cervix has risen higher and I have more cream/watery cm. Seems like it's common before your period starts so who knows. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Tamalama · 18/11/2019 16:36

I got my positive opk on Friday, which I think puts me at 3dpo today? I took an opk on Saturday and yesterday and they were both lighter than my Friday opk so I know that's when I definitely had my surge.

I had some ovary pain this morning, felt like a pulling sensation but I'm confused as I got my positive opk on Friday so surely it can't be ovulation? We haven't dtd much either, only last Tuesday and Friday so I'm really hoping I ovulated over the weekend! We had planned to dtd the yesterday but it didn't happen 😕☹️

CiaraJ01 · 18/11/2019 16:03

@Skygirl1983 I took a test at 11 dpo and it was a BFN so I've only one cheapie test left and I'm try to hold out til AF is due (tomorrow)
Also helps I've lost my bank card and can't order more till my new card comes 😂

But I've convinced myself it's not happened this month 🤷‍♀️
