Feb Bus 2021 - no more TRYING to conceive, let's blimin do this!

Anyone got any experience of the one-step midstream eBay cheapies? I've got 8 stashed in my cupboard from a few months ago as they came in a pack of 10. I wasn't trying then, just checking as was late. They told the truth (negative) but now I'm hoping for a positive I'm nervous 😂 They seem as sensitive as the FRER ones as 10mlU?

Sounds very promising @Twittwoo2020 !!
I’m dreading the TWW, 1DPO today so here we go
again 🤞🏼 Xx

10 DPO here and becoming very impatient 😂

Have had tender boobs since 4 DPO but over the last 3 days they have become more swollen and feel heavy, I also have some additional blue veins. Have also had cramps on and off for a few days which were more intense during the night last night, I was awake for a while with a headache too. Yesterday I also had some creamy cm. This morning I woke up and I’m so bloated and full of gas, I swear I feel like someone needs to put a pin in me and pop me to give me some relief! Trying not to read into symptoms too much but it’s soooo hard. After a year trying I thought the TWW would become more normal!

AF is due either Mon/Tues, I’ve no tests in the house and am trying hard not to go and buy any! The wait continues.....

I haven't tested this morning, going to wait until Saturday now and pray that AF stays away.

I go off of two different apps and one says that I would be 10 DPO today so going off the faint line on the tests thinking that would be more correct than 13 DPO

@MgW1 it's not over until it's over!!

@GreysEmma no ewm for me - never had it. just very watery as you said!.

I ordered the opk off eBay super cheap strips a few pound for 30. They showed I ovulated about 3-4 days later than expected which if your just following An app ls expected day and don’t have the capacity to bd every or every other day you could miss the peak.

I’ve also read a lot recently about needing to bd loads and loads. I don’t Think there’s a lot of truth in that. 2-3 days are needed to build men’s sperm levels back up so evry other or evry 2-3 days is recommended- remember those that get in last about 3-4 days too x

Another BFN here too although i wasnt going to test 🤭 anyway I think the sore boobs might be due to higher surge in hormones because I literally had about 7 days of ewcm which is not normal it was gross actually 🙈.... il keep waiting 🤞🏻xx

Another BFN with FRER. So now just waiting for AF to arrive so we can go again. Day 31.

For those who know more about this than me... does this mean I ovulated later than I thought? I got EWCM around the time the app said I would be. I said to DH that maybe this means we could OPKs this month because my cycle could be out of whack now and the app won't be accurate after this anomaly and he baulked at the price.

Good luck all this month. I'm pretty sure it's not the month for us as we've not DTD much in the fertile window. No positive opk and suddenly irregular periods so haven't a clue when I ovulate. Praying for BFPs for all of you though xx

Does anyone not get any ewcm but still ovulate? This is my first month ttc (2nd baby) and ive had watery cervical fluid but no ewcm so not sure if im ovulating or not...my cycle is 28 days and so just been trying to dtd betwen cycle day 10 - 16 (currently on CD17) Im going to get opks for next cycle so I know but wondered if you always get the ewcm when ovulating?!

Fed up now, CD 40 and no sign of AF!

@Litttlebird no haven't tried one. Last time I got my positive from CB right away!

Might do that tomorrow if no AF in the morning.

@Wowthisisreal have you tried a frer or another sensitive test- took me ages to get a positive off a blue clear blue x fingers crossed x

@Wowthisisreal it’s so difficult not knowing, that sounds so confusing. I hope you get a clear answer either way soon x

Ugh. So I thought AF had come but then didn't go anywhere so I had a little bit of hope that maybe it was just spotting. But then took test this morning and BFN on a CB. But still no bleeding and I am on CD 30 which is now late. So confused and frustrated.

I had spotting on 8/9 DPO so I had a bit of hope and we dtd every day.

@organised5
I know you did i cant believe it!!! Im only 9dpo so would prob have been bfn on an early one too , im gona wait now til 12 dpo xx

@MgW1 I posted yesterday about doing that!!! Why are they in the same packaging!! 😤

@JeanieJ yeah I’ve heard the 2-3 days, but all friends of mine who’ve conceived said that every day was what worked for them so who knows! If only we knew the magic formula xx

@Clapham4 thanks! DH is actually booked in for an SA next week on CD9, he actually has to abstain for 3 days before.
Also, our doctor said to wait 3 days in between DTD to allow sperm to build up? Anyone else heard that? I was gonna just do every other day this month.

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking I feel ya about partners ... they just don't understand 🤷🏻

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking toooootally get you!! Rant away! They have such an easy life when it comes to TTC. Although my DH is painstakingly aware of all my Google and symptom spotting they don’t live it so just don’t get it🙄 still plenty of time to DTD though x

@JeanieJ sorry to hear AF showed up, hope you’re alright. Fingers crossed this cycle is the one! Xx

We’re ending the FW today, but will still DTD tonight & tomorrow to cover all basis. Also starting 75mg of aspirin daily from tomorrow, apparently it helps with blood flow. And I’ll be wearing socks 24/7 for warm feet! I went down a Google rabbit hole and read warm feet mean warm uterus in some cultures so I’ll try that too... honestly throwing all I have at it this month. Any and all weird tips are welcome! 🤣

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
Used them before 12dpo ish but only 9dpo and i dont think they are particularly sensitive , i think supermarket ones are probably more so, pissed off iv wasted one!!!! 🙈🤣
Yes try and fit it in , sounds promising re: ewcm! Xx

BFN this a.m on first response but then realised I had ordered the Rapid result from amazon by mistake 😫🙈 well i aint ordering anymore so thats me done with testing til the weekend. Xx
