POAS Anonymous - Thread 2

@DrS44 yes, exactly that. My cousin has both PCOS and endometriosis and has had 4 babies (I am also 1 of 4 😱 I don't know what everyone else here is hoping for, but my hope is def not to birth 4 children), so it really is just about DTD in sync with ovulation, rather than a clockwork cycle I guess. So fingers crossed for ovulating!! 🤞🏼🥳

@CardioQueen yes exactly!! I ovulated at CD 27 🥳 but it was my first cycle off the pill so not a real cycle! I wouldn't worry - are you taking those vitamins? We were saying they apparently lengthen your cycle too? Once you ovulate it's fair game so keep the hope!

@AMS19 that's great thanks so much! I'll maybe use a FRER next Saturday then and the next week the digital ones. I've 4 of each - and ya I'll probs leave the ICs won't bother with them xxx

@DrS44 no I've not even ovulated yet - CD23 and still going 😂 but - my cycles are 37 days minimum atm and my last LP (and I think the one before that, purely based on pain and spotting, no opks or BBT tracking that cycle) was 10 days. So really ovulation would be on track if it was CD27. Which feels soooo late compared to everyone else in this group, but not exactly something I have any control over 🤷🏻‍♀️

Agree with what @Ams19 has said re: the testing as like you say, DP will be like what THAT "line"?! As obviously he is not in these forums or staring obsessively at opks etc several times a day 😂

The other thing is if I test early and it's a VVVVFL my OH will be like ok well that basically is nothing so you're not pregnant! So I want it to be definite so we can get excited together ☺️ xxxx

@CardioQueen it's lovely that they want to be involved! I was just explaining BBT to him this morning and cuz mine is high he was like ooooohhhhh 😏but then I was like I don't place much emphasis because it's not that reliable of a thermometer and he was like oooohhh 😒 hahaha... you'll get there! What DPO are you again? I'm only 7 today- the only thing getting me through is weeing first thing without testing 😅 that helps me think oh maybe the next day xxx

[quote DrS44]@CardioQueen I mean the baby... not the sex... 🤣🤣🤣[/quote]
😂😂😂

@DrS44 yes this is true, the early negatives would prepare you more. It's all very difficult tbh - there's no easy way as no one wants anything other than a BFP of course!

Yes mine is the same! He is extremely concerned about my (lack of) ovulation so far. I've been educating him all about opks and BBT and stuff so he can understand a bit more 😂

@CardioQueen I mean the baby... not the sex... 🤣🤣🤣

@CardioQueen yeah I'll try my best but then there's also a lot more riding on it isn't there 🤣 like if I prepared myself with a few negatives first maybe it would be easier to handle than waiting on one? 😅 and yes they think they're hilarious 🙄 after he finishes as well he like stays in (so tmi know sorry 😂) it's cute how much he wants it though 🥰 xxxx

@DrS44 yes they think they're so funny don't they? 😂 if you have the willpower to wait til 13 DPO then I think there will be a lot more certainty and less wondering about false/true negatives for sure.

@Lucille3 fingers crossed for you getting to the end of the TWW. I would be the same with the ICs, no judgement here!

@AMS19 ya I'm gonna wait til next weekend I think unless I get any suddenly urge but, for some reason I'm feeling as though I don't want to test unless it's positive! My addiction is wavering 🤣 that said I've just ordered 4 digital CB tests! Is it after a missed period you should take them? So after 15DPO? As I said my friend didn't get a positive until 23 DPO so that is some encouragement 🙌🏼😅 xxx

@AMS19 such great news 😊 and some safe advice to those of us in the 2ww 👍

@jessi60 I hope you’re feeling a little better today. When I feel pregnant with my ds, we only had sex twice that month (we weren’t doing opks and charting etc) so there’s always hope of swimmers sticking round for extra time? Anyway, I hope this bug goes away really soon.

@DrS44 I’m liking the plan for waiting til next week, I’d like to try and do the same as AF should arrive by Wednesday.

I’m only 9dpo and I’ve already POAS twice (poundland cheapies) when I knew they would both be negative. I don’t know why I do it to myself!!

@CardioQueen 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that is too funny! A few time my OH has just approached my pants off ready to go and said "let's make a baby" 🤣🤣

@AMS19 thanks for reminding me because on a FB group I seen someone got a positive at 7PO and the temptation was there 😅 I won't, I will do my VERY best and wait until next weekend! So that will be maybe 13 DPO?

I've got a slight twinge this morning from the right side- very slight and mild, wondering if it's AF or maybe implantation? Tested my temp and it's high again 36.9 but we know I don't have a proper thermometer - and I had a drink last night so there's that too 😅

@Ams19 oh I can just imagine! They must be so proud when it happens first go 😂

@Ams19 CD23 now. I'm ok with it still as I calculated it should be here CD27 if LP stays at 10 days - time will tell!

Yes that will be a bit like us. Literally the most organised sex on earth. And DP keeps creepily whispering "swiiiim" when he's finished. To "encourage his sperm".

Ahhhh @Ams19 that is so exciting 🥰 really great you've got this on the CB now.

@jessi60 this doesn't sound fun at all 😕 hope you're on the mend quickly enough.

I am still waiting for ovulation 🙃 BUT I am now at 0.19 on my opks. How very lame my progression is. Not the worst thing that it didn't come this weekend as DP has been flat out for last 3 days so it's been a bit of a gap between DTD.

Looking forward to hearing everyone else's progress!

Still feel horrendous being sick and on the toilet. Haven’t ate in over 48hours and feel totally drained 🤣 who knew I would be singing about this on a TTC thread haha xx

@PowerOfFlowers Well knowing what is normal for you is good! 😊 maybe it was a blip so as you said! Haha exactly no harm in DTD anyway and enjoying it! 🙊

We DTD this evening so am feeling very relieved! 😅 I am after getting very uncomfortable pains though in the last hour, on my right hand side down there! Wondering is it ovulation pain? 🤔 feels like a stitch! I’ll do another OPK in the morning and see what it says, I haven’t tested since 5.30pm when it was 1.17! 😊 hopefully it starts to go down tomorrow and I actually ovulate! 🤞🏼

How is everyone else doing?

Gals I feel horrendous. - 6 almost 7 DPO me and OH shared a bottle of Prosecco and one gin each and honestly I feel so sick 😷😅 I mean I enjoyed it and couldn't get enough but now I feel horrendous and exhausted and gassy 🤣 there could be other reasons of course but never happens to me really! Great to see news of ovulation on the thread tonight 🙌🏼👏🏻 xxxx

Hello! @positivitytree2020 I tested at 4.30pm and it was 0.23. I honestly think it was a blip. Its much too early for me and the line was very light. But we had a nice time dtd so all is good 😄 Will keep dtd though as I'm leading up to ovulation.
No worries @Bells20 the test was very light which is why I'm surprised it was so high! Ahh well.
Hope everyone else is ok! Sympathies to you @Dex1521- in the tww you look at ALL the symptoms!!
