Hello! I am new to this forum & wanted to chat to anyone testing around the same time as me at the beginning of Feb!
Going off the app I use I am about to ovulate so will be DTD lots over the next week!
I have been TTC for around 5/6 months now but haven't discussed with friends or family so hoping to feel better by discussing with people in the same situation

@ZsaZsaMc You gained valuable experience though! I think I used the screw top of a milk bottle last time.

I'm out this month, AF arrived 2 days early. @KittyWindbag we seem to be linked! I really thought I was pregnant, so disappointed. To add insult to injury, I was wearing white knickers.

Tried to test early this morning with a pregnancy strip (they were only £1 so thought it was worth it!) but the container I used was NOT watertight... Shock

So giving in and testing early has not gone to plan!

@pinkdressinggown ahh thank you will look into that! X

@CocoW I used Natural Cycles to track my BBT with my son and, along with the preseed, it was great. You can pinpoint when you ovulate and I could also see that I was pregnant before I even took my temperature because my temp didn't come down.

I think you can use lots of different apps, but I found Natural Cycles really easy to use. There is a cost, but I think you can cancel anytime - they do also send you a thermometer if you sign up for the year. If you don't though, do make sure the thermometer is a to 2 decimal places otherwise it's not accurate

I'm out AF flow arrived today a day early!

Also going to order some preseed & maybe start tracking my BBT for the next cycle? Anyone got any experience with this?

I still haven't had a sign from AF gave in and done a test at lunchtime but was neg.. Now have sore nipples and watery cm again 🤔 don't know what's going on?! It's driving me mad x I'm cd29 now but think I only ovululated cd20 by ovia app

uisage · 02/02/2020 15:28

@KittyWindbag and @paintfairy I'm really sorry, here's hoping the preseed does the trick next month.

@EarlyBird123 I don't think pregnancy tests expire or give false positives. It coild be a chemical but it's looking good!

I am testing in a week... seems like a lifetime. My heartrate is still going up, I think it usually starts dropping 4 days before I'm due.

EarlyBird123 · 02/02/2020 13:42

Sorry to join late, my AF was due today, I wasn’t going to test as i lost hope really. I had a miscarriage in September. I did a cheap test today and i have a strong positive - not sure it can be right so early? Maybe it’s wrong as it was laying around in the cupboard since September?

LBB2020 · 02/02/2020 13:35

Sorry to hear it wasn’t your cycle this month ladies. I’m trying to keep myself occupied so I don’t start obsessing! AF not due until around 11th which feels like a lifetime away!

paintfairy · 02/02/2020 12:49

I'm out too. I'm also going to order some preseed!

pinkdressinggown · 02/02/2020 12:01

@KittyWindbag Preseed is definitely the way to go! I used it when I got pregnant with my son and with this one, and both hit first time!

Sorry it's not your month though, fingers crossed for next Smile

Kaylab2489 · 02/02/2020 06:01

@kittywindbag that's really shit 🙁 so sorry x
I'm due today but had no signs.. felt abit sick on Friday and now I'm suffering with a blocked nose but not sure if it's because partner has fan on in bedroom 🙈 dont know when to test? Maybe hold out a couple more days I think x

Congratulations on all your bfps ladies xx

KittyWindbag · 02/02/2020 04:53

My period has arrived two days early! Wine which is really unusual for me. Those who are out, are we going to continue this thread? Or start a new one with a more apt name?

I decided to order some pre-seed. Last time I got pregnant the first time I used it so I actually don’t know if it really works or if it was just my time, but it was one of those early morning panic purchases I often do while I’m chugging my first tea of the day.

Bl0ndeye · 01/02/2020 21:26

Hey everyone currently 4 days late not sure when i ovulated as I had a miscarriage late dec and stopped bleeding 4/01 . Still getting bfn and it’s really annoying as I feel so pregnant . I wish I would come on my period or just get a positive just so I know we’re I stand . So jel of all you. Who get BFP so early this will be 3rd baby and I don’t get BFP till I’m like 4+ week 😩 congrats on your positives tho xxx

ZsaZsaMc · 01/02/2020 19:15

Congratulations @pinkdressinggown @Hitherebaby and @LexiM on the BFPs!

MaryCh17 · 01/02/2020 16:42

10dpo feel awful - lots of cramping as if AF on her way. Feel quite sick this afternoon although could be from too many crisps and dip 😂 Due Tuesday. Took test today and bfn. Didn’t get first positive with 1st until 12dpo though xx

LexiM · 01/02/2020 15:36

@uisage I think it’s important people know that because I very much felt it was negative because the early response test said so 2 days ago and everyone was getting positives way before me!

uisage · 01/02/2020 13:53

@babybumpfor2020 I didn't get a clear test until 2 days after AF was due last time, early response rests don't work for all women. I'm 9dpo and I'm not testing until next Sunday.

@LexiM That's the loveliest way to tell him!

paintfairy · 01/02/2020 11:25

@LexiM 😂 Bless him!

LexiM · 01/02/2020 10:36

@paintfairy haha he knows now - he said he had a weird dream I told him I was pregnant and I was like... oh yeah about that Smile

Bradleylily2 · 01/02/2020 10:29

I tested yesterday morning and got a negative but not due for 5 days. Think it's to soon, I've bought a first response one to do maybe tomorrow. I have sore boobs, peeing all the time and feeling nauseous. Also cramps and lower back ache. Ovulation was around the 21st January so 11 days ago. Don't want to get my hopes up just wanted to ask your opinions? It's only our second month TTC.

CocoW · 01/02/2020 10:15

@babybumpfor2020 I can see the faintest line.. i'd keep testing each morning & hope it will get darker.
I have been reading that lot of women don't get a clear line until a few days after missed AF.
I think the early detection tests make us think that you'd always get a clear line early on but everyones different.
Got my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼🥰

Af is due now feel like she is on her way but did this test this morning. What you think after 19months of poas this is the first I've seen like this.

Anyone testing beginning of Feb?
Hitherebaby · 01/02/2020 09:52

Thanks @uisage and @paintfairy!! I'm using this brand pregmate that I bought from Amazon :)

paintfairy · 01/02/2020 09:50

@LexiM 😂 Love it how we all know before your DH. Congratulations!
