Testing around 13th May

I've ordered some more frer to arrive this afternoon, hopefully will get a clear answer! Praying for this month, it's my husband's bday next week and I have a lovely idea of how I'd tell him

@Smiling124 hopefully it is 🤞🤞 thank you. I've never paid that much attention to it but last month I noticed it but it was closer to AF arriving so we will see 🙈

I use clear blue digital this month for the 1st time and even though its expensive, it's worth it as you get a yes or no so there isn't a way of misinterpreting it.

This is my 1st month tracking ovulation. Does anyone know do u ovulate the same day each cycle or can it differ?

Same as everyone else.... feel like I'm analysing everything 😂 the more I try not to think about it, the more I do....lol

Hv a great day everyone xx

@LynzP85 that is a BFP! Those tests are a nightmare and when I was pregnant with my DD they were still a weird blurry colour when I was getting 2+ weeks on a digital.

My AF is due on 20/05 so still a way to go. Due to ridiculous symptom spotting last month I wrote down every single "symptom" I had from the day of ovulation in the hope it calms me down this month. Not 100% sure when I ovulated but got what looked like a peak on an OPK on Tuesday so I guess ovulation could be either Tues or Weds - so maybe 2-3dpo at the moment.

@Smiling124 I used to use clear blue digital opk. The price is the big downside but such clear unambiguous results! My cycle is regular so I only used them for a month or two to learn my cycle and now just use an app to track dates.

@Jessdasilva the timing makes me think it could be ovulation bleeding, have you ever had it before? Hope it's a sign there was a big juicy egg popping out for you 🤞

@LynzP85 here's hoping that this turns into a BFP over the next few days and AF stays away.

To all those symptom spotting I think in the second half of the TWW it's completely normal, we know that implantation could have happened or is about to happen so every twinge or fart could be a sign. Also when we are ttc by this part of our cycles we are so desperate for answers. I always say trust your gut because we know our bodies better than anybody else. Good luck to those testing in the next few days ❤️❤️

Today is DPO10 for me, and CD30. My period usually rocks about between CD30-33.

Last month I ovulated CD14-16 and period came CD30.
This month I ovulated CD20-22.... caved this morning and took a test... I’ve got mild cramping today but I feel like it’s AF preparing to appear!

Morning all,
I’m 9dpo and definitely symptom spotting like crazy so you’re not alone guys who are doing the same! Going to be testing on 15th or likely waiting until I miss my period that day.

@mrsmumsy00 haha me too! I'm awake now at 2:34, hubby's snoring has woken me up every day this week around the same time. But I'm laying here now with a pain in my boobs not too distant from a wind pain wondering....it's probably wind, who am I kidding! I'm now in the guest room, luckily we have one I can escape to! X

Thanks @hayhoe87 and @bluebubbles12 i will give them a go! Praying this month is successful as I know I will become abit obsessed using them! Just impatient I think!!

@Smiling124 it's my first month using opks so I just bought some cheap ones off Amazon called One Step. For around £8 you get 50. It was ideal for me with it being my first month and not really wanting to spend loads whilst I figured it all out. Then I've downloaded an app called Fermometer and that reads your scores for you and tells you when you're peak. If nothing happens over the next couple of months I'll probably move to a digital test to see if that helps.

@hayho87 i know right?! i've has it many times where i was like "yeah this is it i'm sure" and then i get a bfn followed by AF the next day🤦‍♀️ i'm going to do a frer monday (5 days before AF expected) and if nothing then using my clear blue day of AF! something just feels different this time if you get me? ahhh if it's my body playing tricks again i'm going to punish it by getting extremely drunk 😂

@Smiling124 hi! I use the clear blue advanced digital it's not cheap but easy to use and there's no ambiguity over a positive or not x

Hi everyone, I get abit lost on the thread in the day, trying hard to block it out so not to test until the 14th!
I havent tried testing ovulation and if this month the one I want to try and test. Could anyone recommend a brand or starting point?

Thanks everyone!

@mrsmumsy00 I hope it's not in our heads! I'm just laying in bed and analysing every inch of my body, not a good idea!! 😂 I'm sure my tummy feels different but I've thought this before and still got AF so I don't trust my body now! X

@hayho87 so am i!! i got really hot and sweaty at work today whilst my manager was cold, and for some reason the newspapers smelt really strong?? i also keep getting twinges, heartburn and headaches but i can't help but worry it's my mind looking for it and playing tricks on me!

Anyone else questioning their mentality when it comes to "symptoms" I'm 9dpo sitting here with heartburn which I'm prone to and feeling queasy. I know it's just overthinking but can't help it!! Grrrr

Hi Guys, hope you dont mind me joining 😉 congratulations on the BFP in the group.

I'm also due to do a test around the 14th/15th next week. I have a question and wonder if anyone can help.

My peak was on Monday so assuming I ovulated around Tuesday. I noticed on Wednesday late evening a small streak of red blood when I wiped. Today a few times I've had a small amount of brown blood when I wipe... anyone had this before? Feeling anxious 😥 but cant be implantation as to early and only due my AF on the 16th or 17th so cant be linked to that 🙈 any advice will be welcome xx

Fingers crossed for you @lucymagoo

I caved and did a test today, BFN. AF due on Sunday... makes me feel like I'm out but I know can be too early. Just feel really shit and I'm £7 down 😂

I have a clear blue digital that's the golden test I'm going to use if I am late.

I've only told a couple of people that we are TTC but they have said 'when you stop trying it will happen'.. it really triggers me!

Hi everyone, can i join?

been ttc for 7 cycles now for baby number 1! most apps and online sites are showing i ovulated between 29th april and 2nd may, and af is due 16th so the same time as a lot of you lovelies! really starting to lose faith and hope now.

i am also a poas addict and i'm constantly symptom spotting which tends to get me excited for nothing, so it'd be great to have some other mummies to be to relate to!

definitely feeling different this time, not sure if it's just hoping but some things just seem slightly unusual. planning on doing a FRER on monday and then again on the 16th.

love and baby dust xx
