Hey everyone,

Anyone else just started ovulation or about to start in the next week. Let's start a chat and keep ourselves busy as we head through ovulation and the dreaded 2WW.

Little about me this is my 2 cycle at TTC Baby no.1 I'm about to start ovulation on fri or sat, so going to make the most of this week. I've ordered some IC ovulation sticks hopefully will arrive in next couple days and I will give them a try out. What is everyone else doing to prepare themselves for ovulation???

@Tiff94 the wait is so unfair isn’t it!

I’ve been fine over the weekend as I’ve been away, so distracted but now it’s all I can think about 😫

I wish you could tell straight after ovulation not waiting so long. I'm sure it's easier said then done I have test here and they keep calling my name I'm trying to hold off again until Wednesday who know might end up doing another tomorrow morning instead 😬

@Tiff94 & @Milliemoo222 I think it’s easier said than done. I don’t imagine I’ll be like this next month if it doesn’t work this month.

I haven’t actually bought any tests yet, if I had id 100% have tested by now 😂

Milliemoo222 · 20/07/2020 16:57

@Rjbp20 yeah I am trying to hold out! Really hate though, keeps calling my name! Sign of madness maybe?! Grin
I think I have to just forget about it all, but no idea how to do that! Maybe I should ban myself from Google! Super hard times this tww, why can't it be a few days waiting!

@Rjbp20 I think I'm going to try that next month if I don't get a BFP this month. The testing does get to you a little

@Milliemoo222 I’m planning on waiting for AF before testing! I feel like, for me I’d be least disappointed that way you know? Xx

@lastbany I think it's like a 1% chance in the cheapies haha yet we still use them.

@Gab101 I'm the same I quickly went to pee this morning and like I should test no don't just wait haha 😂

@Littlehelper101 I'm going to try testing again on Wednesday to best of luck for both of us.

Hurry up and be over TWW I'm done waiting

🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️ idiot here who said not testing went and bought some form local ship 3 tests for £1 so we can imagine how good! Haha BFN 😭😭😭

Milliemoo222 · 20/07/2020 12:05

@Littlehelper101 fingers crossed for a BFP on Wednesday then, but not out until AF! My Af is due 2 days after yours! Fingers and toes crossed for us all! Really hard to not read into any changes, makes it constant! Wish my DH was too though.

@Gab101 first time would be wonderful though! I have on purpose only got 2 tests at home, one digital as like the back up and one other. Ordered more but not coming until weekend, so trying to promise myself to not do them all at the weekend!

Urgh the tww is terrible!

Gab101 · 20/07/2020 11:37

@milliemoo222

It's definitely too early - I think I'm just getting it into my head that I'd be CRAZY lucky to get pregnant first try but also got lots of hope. I physically find it hard not to pull out the pee cup and test every morning 😫😅

Littlehelper101 · 20/07/2020 10:48

@Milliemoo222

Hi, is anyone waiting to test until AF is predicted? I am currently about 6dpo and really want to wait to test. Feeling quite negative about getting a BFP to be honest. No symptoms other than some really mild cramping. Anyone else about 6dpo? *@Gab101* is it maybe too early to tell yet, when is your AF due?

Also, what does FRER stand for please?

Think I'm going to hold off now till Wednesday too so it will make it 4 days before AF is supposed to start. I woke up this morning at 4:30 super gassy and feeling constipated extreme stomach gurgling was so bizzare! Also nausea for about 10 minutes when I first open my eyes....... also had EWCM yesterday like super stretchy clear and no sticky it was like chewing gum the body is bizzare!!!!!!!!! My AF comes Sunday

Gab101 · 20/07/2020 09:12

Hi all! I had another BFN this morning and have next to no symptoms anymore except from a little cramping and slightly tender boobs. We will get there soon ladies, we've got this 💕

Tiff94 · 20/07/2020 09:07

Hey everyone. I'm not testing today either going to hold off until Wednesday. But I'm pretty sure AF is on her way. Hopefully we start seeing some BFPs soon. 💜

Alice222 · 20/07/2020 08:50

My temperature has dropped for the last 3 days now so I'm sure that means AF is coming, so not going to test unless it goes back up again. No idea when AF is due, been a really weird cycle, currently cd72. Hoping my next one is a bit shorter!

ohbaby3 · 20/07/2020 08:12

Hi all hope everyone is well, does anyone notice breast pain coming and going? Yesterday mildly sore, last night I was in agony with them couldn't sleep. I have 2 FRER tests that I dont want to touch until a day or 2 before AF. I have about 5 apps and all say different dates for AF due 🙄.
Hoping this group will be full of BFPS soon x x

lastbany · 20/07/2020 07:57

Any BFP this morning???? I've decided to hold off till af due as I don't have any tests 😂😂

Tiff94 · 19/07/2020 19:13

@Rjbp20 I've had similar cramping to pms but a little different too. But then I'm also not feeling the best so I think AF is coming for me 😔 due Fri/sat but will test again on Wednesday just to see. Trying to stay positive that I'm not out yet.

@Milliemoo222 welcome there are a couple girls similar dates too you 😊

Rjbp20 · 19/07/2020 18:06

Hey ladies,

Hope you’re all ok. Been away with no internet (probably good to stop me googling symptoms) I’ve had weird cramps for a few days now. Could be PMS but it doesn’t feel familiar 🤔

And BFP’s yet? Xx

Milliemoo222 · 19/07/2020 16:20

Hi, hope you don't mind me jumping in late on this thread. My cycle this month is super close to you all.
AF due 28th 30 day cycle and without opks was due to ovulate on the 14th as a rough guess. On 14th had sharp left hand pains and had been dtd for 4 days previous. We have been ttc 3cycles now and plan to start using opks next month if not bfp this time as been just dtd often and hoping.
So I would be roughly 5dpo today, not planning on taking a test until 28th if no AF.. (fingers crossed!) but super impatient
