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 they dont sell FRER here and amazon is telling me it takes atleast of 15 days to get it delivered because of covid restrictions at my place, so I am testing with some IC I have and some sensitive tests from local store which says 20miu/ul I know it's still not that sensitive but should be Ok for 16dpo I hope 🤞🤞

@beckyBP I'm feeling alright. I've had a lot of nausea mornings and late afternoons haven't found anything that help take it away yet. I've been get hot flushes and just different twinges and pulling /stitches feelings in my stomach and I noticed today I had a big increase in CM. Other then that I'm great I've only told mum/dad until we go for our first scan end of sept.

@lastbany haha 😂 keep me posted I got the faintest line on the FRER with fmu and it was darker in afternoon after a 4hr+ hold. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞 I'm sure your are pregnant...

@Shinea 🤞🤞 I've give it another day then test again see if you can get a FRER I think there definitely best earliest result

@Milliemoo222 😂 that was literally my DH last month I said to him I making sure this month it works he said you tell me when I'm ready 😂😂

@BabyH88 🤞🤞🤞 no AF

Baby dust all over girls I can't wait to here your BFPs

@beckyBP thank you will keep you updated!

beckyBP · 27/07/2020 17:07

@BabyH88 exactly!! Grr.. feel like we've been robbed of the bridal experience.

🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽 for no AF for you! Let me know xxx

BabyH88 · 27/07/2020 17:05

@beckyBP I know exactly what you mean, which we could just be Mr and Mrs and that be it! But like you say we have spent so much money and I know it will be amazing when it gets here but as I'm 32 already I just don't want to wait anymore to start a family feel like there is never a perfect time.

Fingers crossed for your next cycle 🤞🏻 I am going to try and hold out till Friday to test but feel like AF is on her way.

beckyBP · 27/07/2020 16:25

It's so stressful isn't it @BabyH88 if I'm honest, I'm completely over the wedding now. I just want to move on with our lives but we've spent over £25,000 on this bloody wedding and I feel guilty for being over it!

lastbany · 27/07/2020 16:24

@Shinea snap! 4 days late! So hoping af don't come

Shinea · 27/07/2020 16:11

@Tiff94 my AF is late by 2 days but I haven't tested today. Waiting for Hcg to go up if I am pregnant if not waiting for AF 😅 maybe I ll test tomorrow morning, let's see if lines are darker after 2 days 🤞🤞🤞

BabyH88 · 27/07/2020 16:05

@beckyBP I feel your pain we have postponed to Aug 1st 2021 which means we only have 2 months of trying before we have to stop, not going to hold my breath.

Fingers crossed for you x

beckyBP · 27/07/2020 15:33

@Milliemoo222 yeah you're spot on! I wish I could be more chilled about it.

I feel like I'm working with timelines. We're meant to be getting married in sept (was originally June) but I don't think that will happen. I don't want to arrange for a time I could be heavily pregnant or just given birth as want time to get my body back!! But all this is just putting more pressure on myself 😫 x

Milliemoo222 · 27/07/2020 15:27

@beckyBP hahahaha imagine! I was talking last night about making sure we get it spot on next month, the response was just tell me when and I will be there! Hahahahaha Grin very much less consumption of thoughts but then I guess it is our bodies so makes sense!

lastbany · 27/07/2020 15:13

@Tiff94 no not really my mum has our amazon account and uses it for her Alexa and so it notifys haha and don't want them knowing yet! I'm gonna drive to shop tonight stuff it! I looked back and I tested the day before my period on a frer (with last baby) and it was the faintest line! So I'm thinking it's best way to go x

beckyBP · 27/07/2020 15:13

@Tiff94 how are you feeling? And pregnancy symptoms yet? Xx

beckyBP · 27/07/2020 15:12

@Milliemoo222 fee you on the OH. Imagine if they all we're talking about it on a forum and googling every symptom! 😂

My OH said he heard me open the pregnancy test yesterday morning and got excited and said he was gutted when AF came but I don't feel it completely consumes his mind like it does mine! Oh to switch roles for a day!

Tiff94 · 27/07/2020 15:10

@lastbany can you do an amazon prime order they had cheap FRER last week thats were I got mine they were delivered the next day. Hopefully some enlightenment for you soon.

@Milliemoo222 probably but by time I get app af will have arrived or I'll know I'm preg lol I know your mind hoise on Uber drive even when you try not to!! Ye it's strange lol

Milliemoo222 · 27/07/2020 14:46

@lastbany ah thank you, no had not seen these comments. I just have a feeling that is me out though. I have been like clockwork since settled down after first month off pill, but i just don't have much faith this month, kinda disappointed really, but there are other times!
You do sound busy! Not sure about getting expensive ones though as sometimes these are less sensitive earlier on. Can you ask doctors for a test? 4 days is a while, maybe your levels are just not high enough yet? I have already spend way too much! So frustrating just not knowing either way!
Wish oh was thinking about it half as much as I am!

lastbany · 27/07/2020 14:38

@Milliemoo222 I've felt on off cramps all way through there back today but dunnonof you saw what I put before ? But with all my pregnancies before I've had cramps all way through bleeding just never started! Ye I have a 7 month old so I'm busy lol and local shop only sell these crap ones I just can't believe at 4 days late there wouldn't be the faintest thing!! My friend said I need to buy a expensive one but kills me to pay it to be neg!! Haha

Milliemoo222 · 27/07/2020 14:32

@lastbany oh that is annoying! Maybe take a few days off testing and try and distract yourself (easier said than done i know!)
Might just need to wait until 7 days missed AF maybe?
I think I am out, I feel a few twinges, hot as hell and bfn 13dpo... I give up!

lastbany · 27/07/2020 14:05

Couldn't help myself!! Took another cheapo still negative! Do I don't know what's going off

lastbany · 27/07/2020 10:36

@Tiff94 ye maybe fingers crossed!! When I read the "early" tests I bought they actually said from first day kissed period! So weren't early ones at all so if I ovulated later bloody hell no chance I can't see why else could be why I'm 4 days late! It's hard not to test but partner at work so has car all week apart from Friday when I have it to pick up shopping etc so I don't think I can get a test till Friday! So by then if I am pregnant they should be showing haha! Unless I sneak off one night when baby in bed and partner has baby 😂😂

Tiff94 · 27/07/2020 10:17

@lastbany I've also heard some women's tests don't show positive to almost a week after AF so you could be this this time.

OP posts:
lastbany · 27/07/2020 09:38

@Milliemoo222 I dunno! I started testing from last wed (I thought was 14dpo) but actually I ovulated on day 18 with my last baby so prob implanted around day 20 so I would have only been a week I am now 4 days late on af part of me wants to buy a "expensive " test but I can't I can't see another negative! I dunno what to do tbh! Don't know why would be so late!
