@sunflowersaremyfav93 I'd definitely keep going with OPKs if you can. Ive had cycles where ovulation has been 7-10 days later that usual. It's not that unusual to get the odd weird cycle.

sunflowersaremyfav93 · 25/02/2021 09:52

@NewbieB 11dpo is still early, I know some people have BFPs by 11dpo but every body is different. I have everything crossed for you!
I've just ordered a thermometer I'm going to BBT next month, all the guessing and whatnot is so disheartening when you just desperately want to conceive.

I've read on some other threads ladies missed their surge but were DTD lots around that FW week abs for BFPs so I don't know. It makes this TWW easier because I don't know how many dpo I am and feel like I already know it's a BFN.

@mackjm20 How are you lovely? Haven't heard from you this week. Hope all is ok?

@sunflowersaremyfav93 thank you- I hope it settles down and all is ok. I hope you get your peak today!

sunflowersaremyfav93 · 25/02/2021 08:28

@NewbieB I hope things get better for you, it sounds so frustrating! You just want to know either want don't you?

@CookieMonster3001 @Curiosity101 I did an OPK with FMU this morning and it was still low it was 0.27 on Pre Mom, I'll continue to test today and DTD today and tomorrow and then I think I'm done. I can only assume I've just missed my peak but my numbers were low I never got above 0.29 which is a shame so I just don't know.

@Kayeyeem sooo - yesterday I woke up to no blood and felt pukey- had one PG test left and thought I can put it to bed if it’s negative but it wasn’t - i then bought 2 more and all are positive! However- i’m concerned I had the bleeding as seemed bloody for implantation bleeding. I’m still getting old blood/brown discharge when I have a BM so trying not to get too excited in case it’s a chemical PG. I’m 11DPO today so still early early. My mum said she got bleeding with me but then also with a M/C.

Anyone else have bleeding/old blood like this?

How is everyone else doing? Xx

sunflowersaremyfav93 · 24/02/2021 21:51

Thank you ladies! It's so frustrating and disheartening I've caught peaks before TTC and now first cycle and can't catch the peak by by basing it on the EWCM and cramps we've DTD loads so I am keeping fingers crossed 🤞🏻

OP posts:
Kayeyeem · 24/02/2021 21:24

@NewbieB How are you doing? Was it AF?
@CookieMonster3001 Yes I still have most of them, especially the bloating. Omg I've been so uncomfortable today with it 😫 and the backache is awful, it had me in tears this morning 😞 it's going to be a long wait until 12 weeks lol
@sunflowersaremyfav93 fingers crossed you just missed your peak with the OPKs. DTD lots stands you in good stead hopefully 🙏
@SendmetoFlorida you sound like me, I have no patience 😂 being in lockdown isn't helping as there's not as much to do to distract yourself from the wait. Fingers crossed it goes quickly for you.

Curiosity101 · 24/02/2021 21:11

@sunflowersaremyfav93 I agree with @CookieMonster3001. I'd assume you have ovulated but equally I'd suggest carrying on with OPKs for a week or two just incase you do catch a peak.

CookieMonster3001 · 24/02/2021 21:09

@sunflowersaremyfav93 dtd anyway!! I read about how ppl didnt think they ovulated because they never caught it but ended up falling pregnant. U may have had a really quick surge! Hard to tell without temping but just keep tracking anyway. Such a pain when cycles are all out of the ordinary but hopefully ur still in with a chance hun xx

sunflowersaremyfav93 · 24/02/2021 19:37

It's so annoying because I've got ovulation pains and I have EWCM today but not caught a peak on my OPKs is it possible that I've just missed it on the OPKs? It feels like I've ovulated 😞 @CookieMonster3001
I've held my wee from 2pm to 7pm and the OPK is showing as low still. Ah it's so annoying, just going to DTD tonight and tomorrow and then it'll be the TWW.

SendmetoFlorida · 24/02/2021 16:44

Only 5DPO and I'm going insane waiting already 😂 need to stop googling!!!!

CookieMonster3001 · 24/02/2021 15:51

@sunflowersaremyfav93 trust ur instincts and body signals!! If it helps I always used to use FMU for OPKs because i had the strongest result. I drink like 3 ltrs of water a day and could never get it concentrated enough!

sunflowersaremyfav93 · 24/02/2021 14:53

Hey @CookieMonster3001 I had some EWCM about an hour ago and I think I'll get a peak tonight but you're right my wee def isn't strong enough, I've just been for a wee bit I'm going to hold it now u til this evening. I'm using the Amazon cheapies, I've had ovulation cramps so I think it's happening but I'm not using strong enough wee. The joys of TTC!

OP posts:
CookieMonster3001 · 24/02/2021 13:55

@sunflowersaremyfav93 hey lovely... are u using the cheapies or the CB one? Are you making sure your holding your wee enough (I always used FMU for this reason). Maybe just cut it back to DTD every other day until you get ur peak... it might just be delayed this month due to stress or other factors! Keep going but dont put too much pressure on urself! Cycles can change especially when it senses stress xx

sunflowersaremyfav93 · 24/02/2021 10:57

Hi ladies - I am feeling so confused. On CD15 been DTD every day since Friday (I am knackered lol) and I haven't got a peak on OPKs yet?! It's so disheartening, if I don't get a peak today then I think I'm out. I've never had a peak later than CD15. I don't understand any of it anymore, I think I've been too focussed on getting the peak and gosh is stressed.

OP posts:
CookieMonster3001 · 23/02/2021 16:47

@Kayeyeem do u still have all those symptoms? I had nothing this month and still feel the same apart from a raging backache and gassy. Ill feel a lot better once symptoms kick in lol

NewbieB · 23/02/2021 14:53

@Kayeyeem came off the combined pill about 4 months ago. I also have a sensitive cervix and it happened after a BM so slightly hopeful still but also sick of these emotions and would rather know either way. God, first month of doing this, need to chill! X

Kayeyeem · 23/02/2021 14:41

@NewbieB Oh how disappointing 😩 strange how it's only cycle day 23, although I had one a few months ago that was only 24 days but then I'd not long had the implant removed. Have you come off contraception?

@sunflowersaremyfav93 Thanks 😊
😂 I'm not sure I can answer that effectively, DH and I just DTD lots lol
I have loads of symptoms...
painful boobs
Nipples like bullets 🙈
excess saliva
headache
backache
Cramps
bloating
constipation
creamy cm
emotional
tired
stuffy nose
Insomnia

I'm not looking forward to when the morning sickness starts, usually around weeks 5/6 for me 🤢

sunflowersaremyfav93 · 23/02/2021 13:12

Omg congrats @Kayeyeem !!!!!!

Now send us everything you did and your symptoms haha!!

@CookieMonster3001 that's a nice line there Cookie!! Xx

NewbieB · 23/02/2021 12:16

@Kayeyeem seems AF has arrived for me with no warning today so must have been what the nausea is about - not had it before.
Disappointed but also a bit worried as I’m only on cycle day 23

velam · 23/02/2021 11:51

@Kayeyeem I called my GP straight away Grin

Kayeyeem · 23/02/2021 11:46

@NewbieB Aw hopefully it's just too early 🤞🏼 hope it's not a dodgy tummy! Sounds promising though if you had cramps and bleeding, fingers crossed for you!

Kayeyeem · 23/02/2021 11:40

Thanks everyone 😀 I'm a bit in shock tbh! It took 4 months with my 1st and just over 18 months with the 2nd so I never expected it to happen so quickly this time round. Especially as I'm almost 38!

@CookieMonster3001 Yes I had to get digital ones, as last time there was so much confusion around whether there was a 2nd line or not, it stressed me out too much lol. Your lines look good and strong though 😀

Just done a clear blue one just to confirm the weeks (even though I was pretty sure anyway 🙈) 1-2 weeks so that makes it 3-4 weeks technically 😊
When should you contact the dr/midwife do you think? You'd think I'd know 😂 but with my previous 2 I didn't get positive test and there was confusion around how far along I was 🙈

NewbieB · 23/02/2021 11:28

@Kayeyeem wowee! Congratulations!! How exciting. 🥳

This TWW is driving me mad! Tested this morning because I woke up feeling really pukey in the night and again this morning. Only 9/10DPO so probs way too early (negative). But i thought if it was morning sickness symptoms, it would show in a test. Probs just a funny tummy. Sure I had classic implantation cramps and spotting a few days ago but perhaps something else. Arghh this is hard

SendmetoFlorida · 23/02/2021 11:10

@Kayeyeem congratulations!!!!!!! 😍😍😍
