Hi all!

I am 26, married for nearly 2 years and It’s my second month TTC. Had the implant out in Feb and had a withdrawal bleed almost straight away. Started tracking last month with OPKs (ova view) but got to CD 17 and never had a positive. Still DTD throughout the month but AF got me (after I went through demented first cycle POAS HPT madness!!).

Decided to buy a different brand OPK this cycle and purchased Wondfo which showed a clear peak surprisingly early on CD 10 and 11 (Sunday 5th and Monday 6th). Had luckily managed to DTD a few times before and just after pos OPK, and feeling more positive this month! Have ordered some ic HPTs and FRER which thankfully haven’t arrived yet! Feel like I need some friends on here to keep me from POAS too early...

On a side note, when I got a positive Wondfo OPK this month I tested same urine with an ovaview... which came out darker than normal but nowhere near positive! Maybe I had a bad batch? Think I will steer clear of them in future though!

@Glow1234 I saw your post, I came off the implant in December after being on it for around 9 years. I havent had a period after all since coming off it. Whilst I was on it I did.
I tried using the flo app but as I wasn’t coming on it’s impossible to track. I bought the clear blue ovulation kit about £30 so not mega cheap. It tracks when you are ovulating. On the second month I fell pregnant, I wasn’t sure If I could as I thought there may be some hormones still left. I would really advise you buy this as it worked for me. I’m about 6 weeks so still really early but fingers crossed all ok so far. Good luck xxx

Hi everyone I am new here and just looking for abit of advice or to see if anyone had been in the same boat
Had my implant removed in July 2019 after being on them for 9 years
Since then I have only had 4 periods and before the implant I was regular last one was 20.03.20 and that was my first since Christmas
First month of TTC (trying to conceive) I tried to track based on last period but they are so irregular so I thought I would test for ovulation but all my ovulation tests were negative.
Been test and this is the day after my "period is due"(if they were regular) and got a negative result.
Would you say its definitely not happend for us this month or should I continue to test?? , finding it all quite confusing due to irregular periods

HopeWish · 18/04/2020 08:28

Well my AF came yesterday (4 days early... boooo!)
It is definitely AF and not IB so I am out. On the plus size I didn't waste a load of tests!

Good luck to everyone here, hope you get your BFPs!

@pugloverr hey! It’s such a mixed bag of emotions isn’t it.

I’m now one day late now and trying not to read anything into it but secretly I’m counting every minute That AF isn’t here

pugloverr · 17/04/2020 23:26

Hey all, I'm new here.

Fingers crossed we will get some BFPs soon. I'm 9/10DPO and going to test on the 20th I think. AF isn't due til the 22nd though so I may try and hold off till then. I've had symptoms but they are so similar to my usual pre AF symptoms. I'm really not liking this wait and have so many mixed emotions. This is my first time TTC ever.

How are you all feeling?

fingerscrossed95 · 17/04/2020 19:32

Hi everyone, please can I join! I'm due on Sunday, have no symptoms atm so I think I'm out, hopefully see some BFP's soon xx

CaribouCarafe · 17/04/2020 14:58

Hello can I join? I'm also 26 and married for 2 years. This will be our first month actively TTC although we have been casually having unprotected sex for a while now (with no luck, obviously!)

I think I ovulated super early this month (around CD 8 or 9 for a 28 day cycle...) so am not too optimistic that it'll be successful. Hopefully next month my od will have a longer follicular phase.

I'll be 9dpo on 20th April so have promised myself that's the soonest I'll test. Am already stupidly symptom spotting Blush.

Fingers crossed for all of us!

@Megan1591 I’ve not heard of those before. I use Ovia and it’s always spot on.

Megan1591 · 17/04/2020 11:24

Has anyone downloaded fertility friends, I normally use fermometer. Today I thought I'd try something different and inputted info into fertility friends, it's come back saying I
Only 5dpo as opposed to fermometer saying I'm 11dpo. So confusing.....

Sussexbysea · 17/04/2020 10:12

I’ll test a few days after AF Is due. The ugly aunt is supposed to be here tomorrow. I keep checking myself, the fear is real.

Nat4392 · 17/04/2020 09:21

I’m 9DPO, not going to test til Tuesday which is when AF is due (if she doesn’t turn up that is). Testing early and getting another BFN is just not what I need, it’s just easier to wait for AF.

buckingmad · 17/04/2020 09:01

My AF is due 26th April and I am currently 7dpo.

How many dpo are people going to test?

Katbaby · 17/04/2020 08:37

I almost caved and tested today, but I think my spotting is getting stronger so think it's more likely to be af. Holding off a couple more days in case she shows

Sussexbysea · 17/04/2020 07:42

I don’t think I’ll be early testing this cycle. I’m getting all the aches and pains in my tummy, I think I’m out for a 2020 baby

Megan1591 · 16/04/2020 19:16

@sussexbysea
Yeah I always feel the same, you want to know but it's so upsetting seeing a negative result. When are you thinking of testing?

Sussexbysea · 16/04/2020 18:46

I’m sitting here, thinking about when I’ll take my test and it’s making me so anxious. Anyone else feel like this?

Juno231 · 16/04/2020 16:23

@Megan1591 oof that sounds long and draining, you're strong for still having such a positive attitude! I'm only three cycles in but am sort of expecting it to take a while. Sucks though as all my friends seem to get pregnant within the first two cycles!

Megan1591 · 16/04/2020 16:01

@Juno231 we've been trying for a little over 4 years. We were supposed to start IVF next month, but has been postponed due to covid. We thought it was worth another try this month due to us being off work. How long has it been for you?

Sussexbysea · 16/04/2020 15:05

Hey! I’d love to join.

We’ve been trying for 2 years and say miscarried in September last year.

We have been at it like rabbits and my symptoms this month feel different to other months. My nipples are on fire!!

Any month before AF, I get sore boobs, sickness, spots etc so sadly I don’t get my hopes up every month. AF is due to show her ugly face over the weekend and I’m waiting for boots to deliver my tests.

Juno231 · 16/04/2020 14:37

@Megan1591 how long has it been?

@katbaby fingers crossed for you and welcome!

Felicia6 · 16/04/2020 14:37

Hi Ladies, i will be testing on the 20th if no AF....Im due on the 19th so fingers crossed.
Ive been symptom spotting like crazy too..
Hope youre all well..
What are some of the symptoms youre experiencing?

Katbaby · 16/04/2020 14:16

I'll join. Had what I'm hoping was implantation bleeding last Saturday and Sunday, so going to test this weekend 🤞🤞

Megan1591 · 16/04/2020 13:48

Your right it is early days, but I've been trying for so long... You start to lose all hope. Fingers crossed I'll start IVF at some point this year. 🤞

lucymagoo · 16/04/2020 11:16

Still early days @Megan1591!

Megan1591 · 16/04/2020 10:00

Welcome @lucymagoo
I'm currently 10dpo and I have been doing IC the last 3 days and all negative, I've been crazy symptom spotting. I think I'm out this month.
