Anyone else on the TWW and hoping for a Christmas miracle

@Foundmyfeet aww sorry to hear AF got you ☹️. Definitely try them if they’ve worked in the past, worth a shot!
I think when it’s time for us again I’ll be using them xx

I fell pregnant in 2019 using the OPK's. It shocked the sh*t out of me when it worked! I didn't use them when I fell pregnant in 2020 but used them in December but didn't work. Let's see what happens.

@Foundmyfeet aww so sorry!! Really hope you're okay. Definitely recommend OPK's x

@ELBlack - yep she arrived today. A day late but she's here nonetheless. Remember I thought that I didn't ovulate this month because I didn't have any of my regular indicators? Well, seems I was right. Lol! In all honesty, I felt really upset today when she arrived. 😢
I've decided to get some OPK's this month and try it that way again. Fingers crossed.

Hi @Foundmyfeet I'm good thanks lovely, how are you? This week has been 1 of 2 halves, the first part is always difficult and then by Friday I start to feel a bit better.

Did AF come?

Hi ladies!

How is everyone doing?

@ELBlack how are you feeling? When is your next scan again?

AF is due tomorrow. I fell yucky and bloated so no doubt she'll appear for me 😔

@Mariex1989 aww I totally get that. I did find that wedding planning completely took over my life and the time went so quickly, so hoping the same for you. Weddings are such an exciting but stressful time so you don't want the added extra of trying to get into a dress with a newborn etc. All the best xx

@Foundmyfeet of course I will, won’t be going anywhere ☺️

Yeah it was just stressing me out thinking oooh I’ve got 3 months left to try, then 2 etc etc so just going to focus on weddings rather than babies right now.
Skeptical about going back on the pill though since I was on it for around 14 years which can’t be great! xx

@Mariex1989 bless you lovely. I agree giving yourself a break would be the best thing of it's causing much stress. Glad AF came when she did so you wouldn't have a bastard cycle like last month. And yes, would be lovely to be able to have some champers on your wedding day! Please don't be a stranger. I've enjoyed our chats! ❤️

Morning ladies,

@Alist12 unfortunately I’m no help whatsoever with OPK’s, just wanted to say good luck and hoping for a sticky bean for you ❤️

@ELBlack I know bloody evaps/indents! Moral of the story - don’t test until you’re very late (in my case anyway) 😂🙈.

I’ve decided I’m going to stop TTC now. It’s getting too stressful and have enough with the wedding. I also don’t want to be worrying about fitting into a dress a few months after as it’s cutting it close!

Best of luck to everyone and ofc I’ll be popping in and checking how everyone’s getting on ☺️☺️ xxx

@ELBlack I'm feeling much better now, my period came a day early after my miscarriage which was helpful but it's so hard to know when I actually ovulated which is tough. Any advice is helpful chick

Hi @Alist12 thank you so much 😊 I hope you're doing okay after last month.

I've never used those tests/that app and we did only ttc for 2 cycles. My first cycle I never found a peak and my tests looked like yours, however I happened to go for a pelvic scan by chance around the same time I saw 'high' but not peak and it was confirmed that I did ovulate, so even though they say your test line should be as dark it is possible. On the cycle that we did conceive I had a much darker test line and did hit a peak. Sorry I'm not massively helpful but I'm also not that experienced. I'd say if possible just dtd every other day for the next week and see what happens x

@ELBlack so happy for you sweetie!
Me and my fiancé have continued to ttc after our miscarriage last month, I did an opk yesterday and it came up with a peak reading but the level read 0.8 is this normal? The test line was not darker then the control line however it still came up with it. I am so so confused as this has never happened to me before. I haven't had any egg white mucus it's just been watery/ watery creamy type. Is it possible I still could of ovulated. I've been getting a few cramps here and there throughout the day. I will post the picture of my Premom app, any advice will be so so helpful

@Mariex1989 I'm shocked at those indent lines then!! At least she's here and you're not in limbo

Aww how exciting! If you do decide to try with OPK's I recommend the femometer ones from amazon along with the App x

@ELBlack that’s okay I’ve got over my paddy about it now 😂 AF arrived this afternoon, so at least it wasn’t as long as last month!

Getting married next July. I’m starting to think just to give up now until after the wedding. I’m finally starting to show some progression to my wedding diet so given me the motivation to carry that on. I mean it’s only 4lbs but better than nothing 😂 x

So sorry @Mariex1989 I'm honestly so confused by those lines last week. When are you getting married?

@Foundmyfeet I redid an Asda one today and was bfn again so that’s that. Was on a bit of a downer last night but it is what it is and just want AF to come and go now. Think I’m going to make a docs appointment as these cycles have gone ridiculous!

Aw hopefully it’s not AF! Yes that’s great that he’s staying put and can BD your way through the cycle 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻.

@ELBlack I just left it the time frame, had a quick look and threw it away in the wheely bin. I didn’t want to scrutinise over “is there isn’t there”.
That’s so cute about your video 😍 bet you’re still on cloud 9 from the weekend.

This next cycle is going to be my last before I stop for the wedding I think. So I’m going to order some OPK’s and give it a good go. Never used them before, any recommendation? X

@Foundmyfeet no, but she asked us if we wanted to record it ourselves so my husband videoed it when she was playing the heartbeat 😍

Aw no!! Hopefully it's not AF though, but if it is, at least your DH won't be away next month so might make it easier to dtd etc x

@Mariex1989 ah hun 😔 I had high hopes for you this cycle. I really hope it's not another bastard long cycle for you.

@ELBlack do they do videos now? That's so cool! I'd be watching/listening to it all the time too!

AF is due this Friday. My tummy is already a little bloated and minor cramps. Oh well. Try again next cycle.

Hear*

@Mariex1989 12 week scan is 17th March.
Omg I'm so sorry you got a BFN. I'm honestly amazed because your other lines looked so dark. Was it stark white?

@Foundmyfeet it's amazing!! We keep watching the video to Hest the heartbeat 😍 so lovely

Told OH as I came out of the shower for him to say “woah have your boobs grown!” - so I let it slip. He said he was going to get a test, came back with Asda one again 🙈 anyway I took it and BFN 👎🏻

@Foundmyfeet yeah should have come on anywhere between 9th - 12th. I’m not feeling positive about it being a BFP, reckon I’m just having a shit cycle again x

@ELBlack Look at that precious scan picture! And the heartbeats also! I bet you guys can't stop looking it at. It's all so exciting!

@Mariex1989 - I would do a digi tomorrow morning if AF hasn't arrived. That would make you between 4 and 6 days late, right?

@ELBlack eee they’ll be ridiculously excited now when you tell them then. When is your 12 week scan?

I’m in two minds about doing it on Monday (if I haven’t come on). I’m technically late now so really I’m not crazy for testing, but I just don’t want to waste it 😂. I’m such an indecisive but also impatient person, not a good combination 🙈 x
