Hey all,

Simple post really, according to Flo and my current symptoms, I am due to ovulate today or tomorrow. Still trying to figure out OPK's and so not really been using them.

Just wondered if anybody wanted to go through the Two week window with me.

Have dtd a few times over the past few days and so hoping to have some luck this cycle.

Baby dust to all of you

I still haven’t had AF, though have been cramping so it feels imminent, and I’ve done about 50,000 tests 🤦‍♀️ All BFN so there we go! Super exciting for you BFP guys though!

Cheeeeeeeks · 27/03/2022 23:55

@Hopefulbutdoubtful sorry for the late reply been a busy week, been enjoying the sun lol I was 12dpo when you asked but now 15dpo.
Well I ended up crying when I told him and he thought I was upset by it lol, I told him it was happy tears :,) he was over the moon too. I think we were both surprised it happened the first time round. I think I was more shocked if anything.

Hopefulbutdoubtful · 24/03/2022 15:30

Ah, so exciting!! I'll (hopefully) be needing lots of advice on best things/brands to buy!

BuchananBaby · 24/03/2022 14:57

@Hopefulbutdoubtful yeah I would definitely use ovulation date if you know it. I'm the 1st Dec but I think they may put me back to the 3rd/4th.

I'm so excited I've been looking at double buggies my daughter is a bum shuffler and has absolutely no interest in getting up on her feet anytime soon so I think I'll definitely need one

Hopefulbutdoubtful · 24/03/2022 13:48

@BuchananBaby that's wonderful that you're feeling so positive and your tests are progressing nicely, a good sign of things to come!
That's a good idea, thank you xx Due date is showing as 3rd Dec, working it out from ovulation date rather than LMP as I don't know how long my cycle is! Otherwise it'd be about a week before that - I assume the ovulation date would be the more accurate one to go by?! How about you?

@Cheeeeeeeks thank you, and congrats to you too! How many dpo are you? I'm not sure at what stage people feel more confident in it?! How did your partner take the news?!

@BuchananBaby & @RMS0209 thank you so much. I needed this positivity in my life today. Just having a lazy day and enjoying the sun today I think.

@Hopefulbutdoubtful eeeeeeek!!! Congratulations!!! I feel the same, worried about something going wrong:( mixed emotions

BuchananBaby · 24/03/2022 13:04

Haha I couldn't wait either! Why don't you get a digital for tomorrow then a box with some tissue paper and a card?

Thank you lovely I had a gut feeling the last time but I am so positive this time I think it'll all be okay my tests have progressed further than they did in Jan so that's a huge milestone I think 🥰

When's your due date?

Hopefulbutdoubtful · 24/03/2022 13:00

No, I'd wanted to order a babygrow with baby (surname) on but there is NO way I'll be able to wait that long haha. Think I'll test again tomorrow to make sure it still says pregnant and then just show him the test :)
Ah that's understandable, that's what I'm really worried about too.
Keeping fingers crossed for you

BuchananBaby · 24/03/2022 12:48

@Hopefulbutdoubtful I'm currently 14/15dpo have you got any ideas? I already told him just came down with a pregnancy test expecting him to tell me he couldn't see it 🙈😂 was surprised when he could 😂, because of the mc in Jan he's not quite invested yet but he'll get there 🥰

Hopefulbutdoubtful · 24/03/2022 12:39

@BuchananBaby thank you! How many DPO are you, I think you're a little ahead of me? Currently 13DPO.. Trying to work out when/how to tell DH, have you?!

BuchananBaby · 24/03/2022 12:06

Congratulations @Hopefulbutdoubtful ❤️❤️

@Gillseybear it's been an awful few days but it's a lesson. You absolutely will find the right person who will treat you the way you should be treated ❤️

RMS0209 · 24/03/2022 11:14

@Gillseybear sending you big hugs x

@BuchananBaby & @Hopefulbutdoubtful thank you so much for your kind words. The past couple of days have been a real emotional rollercoaster and I just dunno how to think or feel anymore.
All I want is that BFP and a baby of my own but I feel like I will never find the right person for me. Sorry am just a bit of an emotional mess at the moment.

I just wish he had not overdone it on the pain meds and none of the past few days would of happened. I am so angry and upset at the same time. All I have been doing is crying the past couple of days.
😭😭😭😭😭😭

@Gillseybear I'm sorry to hear that Sad hope you're doing ok in yourself with everything going on?

@BuchananBaby exciting!!

After the possible evap yesterday, I took a 2nd one yesterday afternoon, the line looked similar (thin and slightly to the left) but came up after 2 mins! So I was a bit puzzled.
Took a digital clearblue this morning and it came up as a BFP - so so happy!! But equally terrified it'll turn into a chemical, not quite sure how to feel...!!

BuchananBaby · 24/03/2022 08:49

Aww @Gillseybear I'm so sorry sending love ❤️

I have officially taken my last test af is due today and got a much stronger line on my frer so I'm done which is such a good feeling. Hope you all don't mind me hanging around I'm desperate to see everyone's bfp's ❤️

So it looks like I am out this month. What appears to be my period has turned up overnight and I have done two tests this morning and they are both negative. It's probably for the best though in the long run. Especially after everything that has happened in the past few days.

This is what it looks like when I wipe at the moment. No sign of proper AF yet and so going to do a test tomorrow morning. I picked up some feres and also some boots and own brand pink dye tests.

[quote Cheeeeeeeks]@Gillseybear good luck! I know it's hard but try not to stress x[/quote]
Thank you so much. I have spent the day with friends and trying to distract myself. I have honestly needed the distraction.

No Sign if AF yet. So a little bit of brown/pink discharge when I wipe and on my ST I put on just incase.

BuchananBaby · 23/03/2022 13:07

@Cheeeeeeeks what a difference!

@Excited101 definitely hanging in there testing everyday to make sure it's getting stronger 🤞

Well the pregnancy rage has kicked in we were supposed to go see a wedding venue today and they've cancelled last night - really irrationally annoyed me 🙈😂 at this moment I want to phone them and tell them to shove their venue

@BuchananBaby and @alwaysseeingstars thank you so much for your responses and support. AF is due today and so we will see what happens with that one I guess. It's just a waiting game now but I will be picking up some tests today. Then if AF doesn't show I can test tomorrow morning.

I tested again as my husband can't see the line... This is more darker, but I'm still going out to her a Clear Blue!

Excited101 · 23/03/2022 10:57

I did another test this morning, another BFN so I think I need to admit defeat for this month. Obviously if AF doesn’t come then that’s another thing, but this morning’s cramps says she’ll turn up at the weekend as expected!

Excited for all these BFP! @BuchananBaby hang on in there 🤞 and @Gillseybear too

BuchananBaby · 23/03/2022 09:45

@Gillseybear look after yourself and take time out for yourself ❤️

@Cheeeeeeeks that's amazing! I'm the 1st of December but I think they'll put me back to the 3rd or 4th. Yeah we're absolutely nuts 🙈😂

@alwaysseeingstars I've heard clearblue are awful! I've only ever took the weeks indicator ones but I don't think I'll bother this time.

I was a bit worried last night because my knees have been really sore which happened before I mc the last time but I done a frer before bed to reassure myself and it was alot darker than the day before so feeling much better. Think it might just be hormonal
