Fertile window 10-15 October. Anyone with me?

Hey ladies,
I'm due on Saturday and I'm so nervous! I've been getting some mild cramps on and off all morning so that's not helping!
Fingers crossed for you all!

Hey ladies!
Currently 12DPO and driving myself mad 😂
Did a test yesterday and came back negative but AF not due till Friday so still hopefull...trying to hold off doing another test sooo bad but kind of want to do one Thursday! How are you all getting on?

Keeping everything crossed for all of us! Not too much longer to wait 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Are we all feeling okay today?

@BrownF89 haha Hobday made me think of hobnobs 😋😂. Yes I was thinking the same too about Xmas, it would be lovely to announce to the family on Xmas Day or if I tell them sooner, I could put the 12 week scan pic in a card 🎄🎅👶. Based on the odds of probability, some of us in this group will get BFP's this week!

@ButterscotchBabe I'm not even sure where Hobday has come from!! Haha! Definitely mean holiday

@ButterscotchBabe - I will hold off as long as I can! My husband is out all day on Friday so thinking I'd rather not have to wait all day to tell him either way so maybe waiting until Saturday will be better!

Ahh, a family hobday would be lovely! At least you have a positive if you get a BFN this week!

I think I'm feeling more pressure this month because I love the idea of announcing at about twelve weeks on Christmas Day! Which probably sounds ridiculous but yeh! Roll on the weekend!

@BrownF89 so the 29th would be 10DPO? It would be better if you could hang on until 30th, less chance of a false negative. I'm trying to hold out until 31st which would be 12DPO.

Maybe set up a reward system, so each day past 9DPO that you don't test, do something to treat yourself? Then you've got something else to look forward to.

My family are going on holiday next June and I really want to go with them as we've never had a family holiday before. However, if I got pregnant this month then I'd be 8 months pregnant in June, so I would be unable to go. If I got a BFN then I would be able to go. This has helped keep me calmer this cycle, having something else to look forward too.

@ButterscotchBabe - yep! That's what one half of me is trying to think! But the other half of me has spent the morning watching '6dpo pregnancy test' videos to see if it's worthwhile me testing!!

My app is currently saying i should start testing Thursday (29th) but worried that still might be too early! But also not sure I'll be able to wait much longer!

6DPO here with absolutely no symptoms! Trying to assume I'm not pregnant, that way if I do get a BFN it won't be as disappointing.

Try and put your symptoms down to something else and not pregnancy, if you assume the worse then it can only get better 🙂.

Today (6DPO) I am feeling a bit crampy and achey although it could well be either because I have yet another UTI brewing or because I did a big workout yesterday so trying not to get hopes up. No achey boobs at all although thats something I've never ever had even with periods. I am trying not to obsessively google every tiny little symptom I think I have but its so hard!

Ahhh I'm so pleased you ladies have said the same!!! It's driving me crazy point being 5dpo... I feel like I should already be at next week by now!
Nausea has been pretty bad (only eating plain toast or pasta) and my boobs and just body in general is soo achy. Not feeling too positive though as I've recently changed to a different prenatal vitamin which (reading side effects yestersay) can cause nausea and funny bellys and I'm still recovering from a broken ankle but on strict orders from physio to be more active which I have been so could be the reason I'm achy.

Not sure if I'm just trying to make myself believe I'm not pregnant so it's less of a blow next week if I don't get a BFP!!

Also obsessively watching 2ww videos!! Someone help me 😂😭

Hi @ButterscotchBabe I am also 5DPO! I was planning to test on the 2nd if my period hasn't come before then (I'm due on the 1st but my cycle does vary by a day here and there). Knowing myself, I will probably crack earlier than that and end up testing on the 31st!

Hey everyone, I ended up ovulating on CD18 so a few days later than expected (currently 5DPO). Means I can't test till 31st Oct when I'll be 12DPO. When is everyone planning on testing?

Yesterday my cervical mucus was slightly creamy, lotion like, which apparently can be a pregnancy sign but not getting my hopes up!

@Luckyelephant1 I think implantation bleeding happens in about 25% of pregnancies, so don't worry if you don't see any!

Changed my user name, I was previously xWaterfallx

Hi guys how are you all doing? I'm struggling not to take a (far too early) pregnancy test. No pregnancy symptoms at all really. My Flo app says I may get implantation bleeding today but nothing at the moment. Although I did ovulate 1 day later than the app predicted. Arrghhh I just want to fast forward 1 week!

@jules5232 @Luckyelephant1
Morning! Feeling okay too
Agree with luckyelephant that it's nice seeing positive tests and knowing things are working how they should be! After 13 years on the pill you hear horror stories of how it affects you long term so feeling positive!
My first tracker has updated itself today. Ov should have been yesterday but I presume because of a higher opk result its changed to today! (For now!) And because of that now the earliest i can test is 29th so definitely definitely need to hold off until the 1st!

@jules5232 @BrownF89 I got a definite positive OPK today! Following the SMEP method so according to that I should test on the 2nd, let's see if I can wait that long!

Hope you're all feeling good. I'm feeling a bit more positive as it's the first cycle I'm using OPKs and at least I know my body is definitely releasing LH as it should now.

@Luckyelephant1We seem to be in sync! My femometer app says I'm due on the 1st and I fluctuate between a 28&29 day cycle too.

Keeping everything crossed for some sticky eggs and strong little swimmers for all of us

Thanks guys yeah I think maybe it was diluted. How quickly does the peak come and go on an OPK?

@BrownF89 Flo app says AF is due on the 1st but I do tend to vary between a 28 or 29 day cycle. I am usually pretty impatient but this month I will force myself to wait until the 1st and if AF hasn't come by the evening I'll take a test.

Good luck everyone, hopefully lots of BFPs by the end of the month!

@Luckyelephant1 - like @jules5232 said, maybe it was a diluted test. But it definitely sounds like you're doing enough so keeping everything crossed for you!!

What dates are you looking at testing? According to tracker one i can test on the 27th at the earliest but thinking for my sanity i should go with the worst case tracker and wait until the 30th!

Hi @BrownF89 we are in the same boat, I'm on cycle 5 too with the first month of using OPKs properly.

I'm a bit confused as I feel like yesterday the OPK was on its way to reaching peak (the test line everyday was getting progressively darker) but today the test line was fainter than yesterday. No idea what this means, have I somehow missed ovulation?! Defo have EWCM atm so just DTD everyday for a few days during fertile window and then back to every other day until time to take a test.
