Hi all,

Now in my TWW. We have been trying for DC #2 since October 19 and I had a chemical early March.

I usually use Clearblue Dig Ovulation tests but this month I just used cheapie OPK's.

Fingers and toes crossed 🤞🏻

Would love you hear all of your TTC stories.

Hello @HappyBuyer - how long have you been trying for and how old are you?

@Nannon145 depends on how sensitive your tests are. I would say in general no earlier than 8DPO for the FRER. What CD are you on now?

Nannon145 · 25/04/2020 00:37

@Jaylou7 fingers crossed for you. I can see a line. Hopefully you see a clearer one in the next couple of days🤞🏻

I don’t know when to start testing. When does everyone think???

HappyBuyer · 25/04/2020 00:03

@Jaylou7 I can see a faint line :)

HappyBuyer · 25/04/2020 00:01

Thank you for your kind words. I did not answer straight away cause my husband walked into bedroom and I do not want him to know how I actually feel (he loves me so, if he would know how upset I'm, it might affect his ''performing''? - I know it might sound silly).
I have read this thread and ladies get quite technical... I tried ovulation tests - sticks and Clearblue tests, but seem to miss ovulation (only once I had the smiley face on Clearblue) as the test do not indicate I have it? I check it by my body changes and this funny period app, then I think I ovulate.
Would you say I have to get checked (when lockdown is eased)?
Everybody just tells me to ''relax'' and ''it will happen in it's own time'', but I feel I might be ''faulty'' (on the background of my friends bragging how they did it from first time)

Jaylou7 · 24/04/2020 23:54

Thank you will do not getting my hopes up xx

GinIsTheOnlyTonic · 24/04/2020 23:48

Congrats @LJMilkTea!!! What a strong positive!

Ladies I feel I am going crazy. So my pregnancy tests arrived today. I am 6 DPO confirmed. I just stupidly decided to do a random test and this appeared. I took test apart to get a better look as could see something so faint. It appeared within time frame but got darker once I opened test. I have used a FRES test but heard a lot of bad things. I wish I had not opened it or done it. Guess will check again in few days. I’m literally shaking as have lost 4 babies in a year. I am not reading into this yet just wanted to share as def can’t tell DH. Any comments welcome. Has anyone opened their tests before and does opening it cause false positives. 😳

Nannon145 · 24/04/2020 22:54

@MrsBlue1986 it’s hard to know. I’m 9DPO and still not sure about my symptoms. But, the cramping you have had could possibly be implantation since you’re 6DPO!

mia22221 · 24/04/2020 22:54

Thank you so much @jaylou7 I appreciate that lots x aw sorry x good luck and fingers crossed for you to ❤️

Nannon145 · 24/04/2020 22:53

Congratulations @LJMilkTea!!!!!!!!! @Popcat120 I’m only 8 or 9 DPO. Hard to tell because I didn’t get a proper positive ovulation test!! I really hope I get my positive 😫😫😫😫😫

MrsBlue1986 · 24/04/2020 22:49

Hi all. Im new to this site so apologies for just jumping on!

I was hoping you could help me please!

This is our 2nd proper month of TTC (trying to conceive).
We DTD (doing the deed) for every fertile day possible this cycle, once a day.

I am currently 6DPO and want to know if these symptoms mean anything!?
So far:

0-2 DPO (days post ovulation). No symptoms
3 DPO (days post ovulation). Slight cramps on and off
4 DPO (days post ovulation). Cramps on and off. Cervix soft and feels wet inside. Slight white CM.
5 DPO (days post ovulation). Cramps. Some white CM stains on knickers (TMI sorry!) Evening left sided cramps
6 DPO (days post ovulation). Strong left sided cramps. Almost like a stabbing feeling on and off on the left. Less white CM than yesterday though. Cervix still soft and wet inside.

I dont know if these mean anything or if these are normal but last month i didnt get any white cm. I am talking here, a little bit (not loads), but a cross between lotiony and toilet tissue papery texture inside.

Anyone ideas??

Thanks in advance smile x

@Whats1more Hiya, funny you should say that. Sorry to hear about your chemical. I had a chemical late Feb/early March and got my BFP at 11dpo too. I'm 12dpo today and only just this evening think I might have a vvvv faint line on an IC. Will update in the morning but like you was hoping I would have got my BFP at 11dpo again. Everything crossed for you.

@HappyBuyer Hi! I know how you feel. Seeing lots of pregnant women recently and wishing it was me. We have a 6 yo girl but have been trying since Oct for our 2nd. Had an early miscarriage late Feb/early March. Really hope you get your BFP this month 🤞

Whats1more · 24/04/2020 21:50

Hey hope you don't mind me joining. I'm 11dpo tested negative this morning. I had a chemical last month & I got my vfl at 11dpo then so think that's why I tested today. I 100% know I'm not pregnant though I've just got a feeling 😞 I'm gonna wait til Monday to test unless AF shows up first. My only 'symptom/sign' that I had last month was loads of yellow EWCM that started at 10dpo. This month I'm literally as dry as the Sahara desert!!

KSI88 · 24/04/2020 21:49

@LJMilkTea Congratulations! 🎉 x

I'm 35 and my husband is 39 and trying for our first baby. It has been over 6 months. I will do pregnancy test on Monday and hope this time I will cry cause I'm happy...
All I see everywhere is babies, baby stuff, pregnant women and ladies pushing prams. When it is going to be me?..
Congratulations to new mums Flowers

Jaylou7 · 24/04/2020 21:26

I was so cranky with both of my sons don’t worry xx

LJMilkTea · 24/04/2020 20:54

Thank you @jaylou7 and @Popcat120!

@Nannon145 that does sound positive

Popcat120 · 24/04/2020 20:47

Feeling really crampy tonight! 🙁

Jaylou7 · 24/04/2020 20:40

I’ve got that weird taste @Nannon145 kind of metallic. I’m 6dpo x

Jaylou7 · 24/04/2020 20:37

Wow congratulations @LJMilkTea that’s super strong xx

Kona84 · 24/04/2020 20:35

2 week wait eurgh I feel like the whole cycle is a 2 week wait 2 week wait to ovulate 2 week wait to test.

Anyway I’m 5dpo I ovulated on CD16 I had ovulation pain on my right side but I never managed to catch my LH above 1.67 normal get to 2.14. I normally ovulate around Cd20 but it’s a bit messed up since miscarriage.
I know it’s super early but so far just been feeling super hungry I just can’t get full.
Tired, vivid dreams and my heart rate is resting 7 beats higher than normal.

Jaylou7 · 24/04/2020 20:35

Sorry to hear that @mia22221 I have everything crossed for your next cycle. I def don’t feel pregnant at all. So expecting my af x

Popcat120 · 24/04/2020 20:20
