Me! Testing 27th jan, I have pcos buy with regular periods and really good signs this month that I've Od so fingers crossed 🤞

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 16/01/2020 12:52

@Catred I get ovulation pain, also frequent urination at the same time -checked cervix which was high soft and open (and has now closed and disappeared beyond my reach 🤣) and obviously there's the EWCM too!

Did ovulate earlier than expected though. Would've thought it would've been this week but I've checked online calculators too as I didn't quite understand it being early and some have it placed for the time it happened, others have it placed for this week and I'm all a bit confused really!

Catred4 · 16/01/2020 12:36

@TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge eeek I’m going to be exactly the same! How were you determining ovulation? You may be due on a bit earlier than 26th if you’re 7DPO now xx

Sparkle2020 · 16/01/2020 12:18

2dpo and want to test already lol Confused

PP^ I’m due 26th too! Frers are horrible for ghost lines etc I don’t know why people rave about them so much!

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 16/01/2020 12:13

I'm going nuts - can't sleep!

Either 6 or 7 ( ithink) dpo today. Last night had a strange little pain in side I ovulated on and today having mild period like cramps and feel kinda wet inside,if you get what I mean. Had twinges there last night though so don't know if something is up?

Had zingy shooting pains in breasts yesterday, been gassy, constipated and nauseous the since Monday night. Keep having vivid pregnancy dreams 😂

Couldn't help myself and done a frer last night which was obviously neg, daftly done one again this morning (not even with fmu for heaven's sake!) and can see a shadow of a line but I believe that's common with free anyway.

Someone chain me down?! I'm nervous as hell and period isn't due until 26th 😢

I've been doing OPKs this month as I accidentally bought those instead of pg tests last time we were ttc, and I will be poas daily at the end of the TWW, so I am also a crazy poas lady, Jones.

Jonesbabynumber1 · 16/01/2020 09:10

@HalfPenny28 the two week wait is the worst every month I plan to be chilled and every month by the end I feel like a crazy poas lady

HalfPenny28 · 15/01/2020 20:34

@AsSurprisedAsYouAre you've certainly got it covered then 🤞🏼 sending baby dust your way!

I'm so hoping to hear of some BFP's soon!

I just hate the wait so much!

AsSurprisedAsYouAre · 15/01/2020 18:24

Hey folks! Well I got a positive OPK today on CD 13, we will have dtd cd10, 12 & 14 (all being well for tomorrow night!) so hopefully that's enough to put us in the running this month. Fx!
Sending you all tww patience that is rewarded by a bfp! xx

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 15/01/2020 16:13

Hello, AF due 26th and trying not to test already.

Only 6dpo but going mad as am gassy as hell, have indigestion and nausea. Weird shooting pain in right boob, boobs appear a bit fuller, bouts of tiredness, vivid dreams I'm pregnant and my cm is now white and clear together (it seems) kinda lotiony but ever so slightly stretchy and unusually for me has a slight smell -nothing nasty buy definitely there.

Sitting on my hands here! Had a chemical pregnancy a few months ago. Last full pregnancy was 21 years ago when I was 16 and oblivious!!!!

AliSxo · 15/01/2020 15:59

@Catred4 we've been doing every other day and therefore did it last night but going to do it tonight and Friday and maybe even Saturday!! I think I've been really lucky to catch a positive OPK and I cannot hold my wee for 4 hours in the afternoon and I've got to try and hold out until 7pm now to OPK test again... xxxx fingers crossed for us all this month xxxx

Catred4 · 15/01/2020 15:48

@AliSxo this is the exact same dates as me! We’ve BD lots since the start of the fertile period, think I’m gonna give us both a rest now - DH has sex fatigue 😂😂. Can’t wait to see what happens!

AliSxo · 15/01/2020 15:30

Im not sure when I've ovulated, haven't had a positive yet but close to it today, I'm going to assume I'm ovulating today/tomorrow and count Friday as 1DPO - annoying when this happens! X

everpessimistic · 15/01/2020 15:29

Hey everyone 4 DPO, cycle 6. Hoping for a miracle this month. Will be testing on the 24th (trying so hard to hold out, will probably test on the 20th and kick myself)!

bluemoon2468 · 15/01/2020 15:18

Yeah natural cycles say it has to be within the same 2 hour time frame every day.

Sparkle2020 · 15/01/2020 14:23

@bluemoon2468 don’t temp as I work shifts so think it would be impossible as it has to be the same time right?

bluemoon2468 · 15/01/2020 07:57

@Sparkle2020 do you temp? OPKs are sort of useful but I mainly use BBT to know when I ovulated. Generally it will be on the first day you have a negative OPK after positives.

Sparkle2020 · 14/01/2020 22:52

Can I ask yous how you would work out how many dpo you are? I’ve never had 3 days of positive opks before and I’m really confused. First positive OPK was on the 11th :/

AliSxo · 14/01/2020 21:34

@bluemoon2468 I'm with you hun!! 10dpo is a really good time I think because if I get a bfn I'm like it's cool it's still early days but it's not mega early so therefore a waste of a test!! Tbh I normally test 8DPO in the evening I don't know why lol x I thought I'd get a positive OPK today but it's not a positive OPK xxx

bluemoon2468 · 14/01/2020 21:17

@AliSxo so sorry to hear about your MC 😔 I have promised myself this month I won't test until at least 10dpo, which is still early I know but better than last month 🙈

AliSxo · 13/01/2020 22:57

@bluemoon2468 I'm on my 4th cycle since I had an early MC in early October. I came off the pill in August and got pregnant in September but didn't last. Periods have been heavier since, went to GP who said he wasn't concerned and go back if I haven't conceived by June and they'll to do tests etc. Wish it would just happen I got so so so disheartened last month, I had all the symptoms and the worst indent lines so this month I want to be more relaxed and not testing like a mad woman at 7DPO!! Zx

Sparkle2020 · 13/01/2020 19:14

@FireflyGirl don’t really know how to pinpoint as I had opks that were positive on cd 11/12 so not sure what to count as ov day?

bluemoon2468 · 13/01/2020 19:09

@AliSxo Natural Cycles has predicted Thursday, so some time this week - it's usually accurate to one day either side. Took an OPK this afternoon and it was pretty dark but not quite positive, so I think tomorrow will be positive. If so, we'll DTD tomorrow as planned then maybe one more time on Thursday then have a little break 😊 I'm just trying to remind myself that the NHS advice is to DTD every 2-3 days throughout your whole cycle and explicitly not to do it every day over your fertile window only, because it's stressful which makes you less likely to conceive.

How long have you been trying for?

AliSxo · 13/01/2020 18:25

That's a great way of doing it, I don't really start doing it again until about 4/5 days after AF which is usually CD 9/10. Every day during the fertile window it really becomes a chore!! When are you due to ovulate? @bluemoon2468 xx

bluemoon2468 · 13/01/2020 17:57

@AliSxo we're doing every other day from end of AF to 2 days after detected ovulation. I can't be dealing with every day any more, it's too much! Every other day is more sustainable for us in the long run, and I doubt it will make us less likely to get pregnant!
