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???

@dano99 it's so difficult isn't it because the symptoms of pregnancy and AF are so similar lol.
I feel pretty normal but I don't usually get AF symptoms until closer to its arrival.
I wee a lot anyway so can't even symptom spot that ha ha!

When will you next test?

We only have 2/3 months of trying then we will have to stop for a bit as we have postponed our wedding to next year and I don't want to be heavily pregnant when we get married.

dano99 · 26/07/2020 16:15

@BabyH88 it's good you've been keeping busy I've been trying and failing hahah
This is our first cycle trying also so feeling the same thoughts as you I'm really not expecting miracles this time around.
My oh is convinced all the symptoms I'm having are just things I normally get before AF just haven't been as in tune with my body until trying (hate to admit but he's probably very right😂)

I've had itchy nipples, some shooting pains in my boobs, nipples have been standing To attention basically all day (tmi mine are normally very inverted haha), shortness of breath, cramps over 3dpo and more cramps since 7dpo-8dpo, weeing in the night which is something I've never done before, light dizzy spells and lightly nausea.

Milliemoo222 · 26/07/2020 16:10

I have finally brought some first response tests! Better to leave until tomorrow now? Tomorrow will be 13dpo

BabyH88 · 26/07/2020 15:52

@dano99 oh that's exciting that we are both testing at the same time. I have done any tests and haven't got any symptoms that I have noticed.
We have had a really busy time recently so that has helped with not thinking about it too much.

I don't think I will get a BFP this month with it being our first month ttc and having no idea if the apps are correct about when I ovulate.

What symptoms have you had?

dano99 · 26/07/2020 15:32

@BabyH88

So AF is due on the 1st when realistically should I test?

Congratulations to everyone that has had a BFP! 💓

Hey! @BabyH88 same here and wondering the same questions. I did a test 7dpo but bfn but since then my symptom spotting is out of control I've made myself believe I have about 5+ symptoms🤦🏽‍♀️

Hope you get your bfp! Have you had many symptoms?

BabyH88 · 26/07/2020 15:14

@Tiff94 ok thank you! I will keep you all updated. I have got CB early tests will that be ok or shall I get some FRER?

Shinea · 26/07/2020 14:26

@lastbany I am thinking to wait for a week. Today I was due and no signs of AF. I will wait till next Friday and then test again or in between around Wednesday if I can hold up myself until then haha 😃 Fingers crossed for you 🤞

Congratulations to everyone that has had a BFP! 💓

Shinea · 26/07/2020 11:09

@lastbany when are you testing next? Thank you @Tiff94 @Milliemoo222 I tested another one at noon and again very faint line maybe I have to wait for couple of days

lastbany · 26/07/2020 09:31

@Sexnotgender it might be the case for odd few but first morning wee is better as it's more concentrated as you haven't been drinking all day x

Milliemoo222 · 26/07/2020 09:15

Sorry @beckyBP next month will be yours!

Sexnotgender · 26/07/2020 09:13

From the reading I’ve been doing it seems afternoon testing gives better results. I’ve got more tests on the way (thank you amazon prime!)

I’ve had AF style cramping and backache for the last few days. I think I’m 9dpo.

If I’m out this month will track ovulation.

Milliemoo222 · 26/07/2020 09:11

Hi all, so did another cb this morning, bfn. Not even a hint, so yeah. Today I am 12dpo, so still might be a little early, but feel like I am out and onto the next month! Ho hum.
Will pop out this morning and get some other tests and worse case can use next month! Literally no symptons, but still 2 days till AF due.
Fingers crossed for you @Sexnotgender @Shinea and @beckyBP

Sexnotgender · 26/07/2020 09:05

Sorry @beckyBP hopefully next month is your month x

beckyBP · 26/07/2020 08:55

AF came for me last night 😫 never mind, I'm going to actually be prepared next months; OPKs any other recommendations? X

Sexnotgender · 26/07/2020 07:40

Thanks. I feel like I’ve turned into a crazy person.

@lastbany @Shinea I've got my fingers crossed for you girls. I'm sure it's just late detecting. Hopefully some clarification soon. Xx
