Hey

This is my 9th month TTC my first baby and I'm 33. I got static smiley on Friday on OPK, and now I'm in my TWW - again! I'm currently on furlough so the wait seems even longer and more painful and I definitely end up going a bit crazy 🤪

Anyone else in similar boat and need keeping sane?! Also any TTC tips you've heard of? I will literally try anything at the moment haha.

@Jadeb1995 that looks like a bfp to me. But if you’re unsure then yes get a new test. But that definitely a nice dark pink line!

CAG14 · 28/06/2020 12:04

@Jadeb1995 that is a positive and not an evap!! Definitely get another test.

@Jadeb1995 I'm not sure an evap would be that strong.. Get another test! 🤞

Jadeb1995 · 28/06/2020 11:01

Morning guys, hope everyone's ok. After that strange bleed yesterday I spent the whole night awake as I've not got a UTI :(
Still no positive ovulation test so I took a pregnancy test that I had in the drawer.
It came up negative straight away & I was convinced I wasn't so just threw it in the bin, about an hour later I've just looked at it again.
Not sure if this is a BFP or evap line?

@LMA27 when we moved in the hall, stairs and landing were papered in woodchip wallpaper and painted over in lilac and whoever decided to paint the walls lilac decided the ceiling should also be the same lilac.. Laziness I assume! So last September we spent weeks stripping the paper and then my dad passed away in October which halted any further work. January we tried painting a wall but decided it was going to take far too much time to sand the walls down, undercoat and then paint so at the start of lockdown my partner lined the downstairs walls but it turns out one our cats did not like it and ripped it to shreds 😂 so that got stripped too and now we're back to painting.. I never want to sand another wall again in my life! It's been hard work but hopefully worth it. We're nearly there!

Jadeb1995 · 27/06/2020 16:58

Thanks guys, I think when you're ttc you're so much more aware of everything your body does aren't you!

LMA27 · 27/06/2020 16:32

@Jadeb1995 I would say try another test and see?
I think sometimes our bodies just play tricks on us for fun, like it’s not stressful enough!

@Stabal ohh glossing the staircase you have much more patience than me. I have a short attention span, but worth it all in the end when it looks all pretty!

@CAG14 haha good girl! You deserved a drink.

CAG14 · 27/06/2020 15:38

@Jadeb1995 no harm in testing again just to see.

Jadeb1995 · 27/06/2020 14:41

@CAG14 do you think I should test again? Using a clear blue one? I only used cheapies last time

Jadeb1995 · 27/06/2020 14:40

@CAG14 yes I tested around when I started bleeding and they were negative.
I thought it was a possibility too and if those tests hadn't have been negative I would be convinced that I was pregnant!
No never had ovulation bleeding

CAG14 · 27/06/2020 14:00

@Jadeb1995 that is bizarre but I'm sure nothing to worry about. Have you ever had ovulation bleeding before? Have you tested? Sounds silly but maybe your last period was implantation bleeding?

OP posts:
Jadeb1995 · 27/06/2020 13:29

@CAG14 day 11, I've been really light headed this week so maybe I'm ovulating and the OPKs I brought are a bit rubbish!!

Stabal · 27/06/2020 13:24

@CAG14 could be I suppose. I'll see how it pans out. I hope the fog head lifts for you 😂

CAG14 · 27/06/2020 13:01

@LMA27 my head is a little foggy this morning put it that way!

@stabal it may be because you had a CP?

@Jadeb1995 what day of your cycle are you on?

@msunflower that sounds positive! Sounds about the right time for Implantation bleeding. Fingers crossed

Stabal · 27/06/2020 12:30

I'm having a very odd AF. Was heavy Thursday and yesterday morning then practically nothing from yesterday afternoon and nothing this morning. Not like my flow at all. I'm putting it down to my body still adjusting from the miscarriage last month but it makes me uneasy when things are different when I'm worked so hard to get them to a regular state 😣

@LMA27 my head is fine as I spent my Friday evening glossing the staircase instead of drinking wine 😂 hardcore life here! Hooray for flashing smileys! I hope you can manage to have some fun in this heat haha

@msunflower sound promising, everything crossed for you! 🤞

Jadeb1995 · 27/06/2020 12:26

Morning guys, sorry if this is tmi but this morning I had a dark clot of blood down there, no other bleeding.
I usually have 28 day cycles and around 3 days of AF, last month it was 23 days cycle and I bled for 7 days but only really spotting and had to use a tampon once.
I don't know whether today was ovulation bleeding? I've used OPKs all week and having been ovulating so really strange?
Has anyone experienced anything like this?

msunflower · 27/06/2020 11:01

Thanks @lma27 - feels too early to have signs only 7DPO but these are definitely not signs I've had before in PMS and have never spotted before so I don't know. I definitely feel different though, and the spotting is way too early for my period/is completely different as well. Anxiously waiting to test next week now! How are you feeling with everything?

LMA27 · 27/06/2020 07:15

@msunflower wow that’s really exciting if it is! Fingers crossed for you lovely.

I’ve just got my first flashing face on my opk yay 😄 it seems to be linking with flo app correctly so far, so will see when I get the steady face for the peak time.

@CAG14 @Stabal how are your heads this morning? 🍷

msunflower · 26/06/2020 23:44

I'm about 6 or 7DPO and I'm pretty sure I have just had implantation bleeding. My period isn't due for another two weeks and it was only a small bit of darker/brown diluted blood. Got some cramping now and feeling a bit nauseous. I was feeling a bit nauseous the last couple of afternoons but I thought it was my mind playing tricks on me. This is my first cycle of ttc, I'm guessing this is a good sign? Earliest I can test is in one weeks time!

Stabal · 26/06/2020 14:14

@bee1311 it can be! There's a possibility you'll get a faint. You're better to wait obviously but if you really can't contain yourself then go ahead. If it's faint you can check again the next day or preferably 48 hours later!

Flittingabout · 26/06/2020 13:41

Day 13 earliest is recommended on lots of threads

bee1311 · 26/06/2020 13:02

Hello again all!

I'm fleeting in and out, but I'm still here checking in.

I'm after some advice, do you think 12dpo or 12 days since day of the deed (ha) is enough for a test? Xx

Stabal · 26/06/2020 12:26

@CAG14 this is the last weekend we have before my partner goes back to work. He works weekends and I'm off weekends so we're definitely going to have a little drink tomorrow night with my sister in her garden (if the weather behaves). Other than that not much else planned! AF killing me today, currently waiting on painkillers to kick in before going on the search for more paint to finish our decorating!
@LMA27 will have a drink for you for sure 😂

LMA27 · 26/06/2020 12:12

@LT103 try & hold off to do a test if you can, easier said than done I know haha the TWW is the longest 2 weeks ever because we drive ourselves mad 🙈 Fingers crossed for you x
