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

@BuchananBaby thanks, you give me hope, I tested 9dpo and negative. Gna just wait until AF comes rather than test and get disappointed.

BuchananBaby · 21/03/2022 14:29

@Cheeeeeeeks thank you so much lovely 🥰

I've not had many symptoms totally thought I was out tbh tested from 8dpo and nothing until last night. I have been a bit constipated and have ewcm which is unusual at this stage for me. I had really bad af cramp 2 days ago and presumed af was coming early but that must have been implantation.

Sending baby dust 🤞❤

Cheeeeeeeks · 21/03/2022 13:51

@BuchananBaby yay congratulations! Tell us your symptoms! ( Not sure if you did already mention them in your previous posts)

BuchananBaby · 21/03/2022 13:41

@Cheeeeeeeks so I was a nutter and drove to get some on my lunch and I'll attach a pic 😁 I've just sat down and the amazong guy delivered my other tests 🤦‍♀️

@BuchananBaby ah man don't know if my last message posted but dammit, Amazon is usually always on time or early! Just adds to the waiting game lol

BuchananBaby · 21/03/2022 12:52

@Cheeeeeeeks I've hid it in the bathroom so I don't mix it up with my coffee 😳😂😂 the amazon man was supposed to come by half 12 and now it's updated to half 3😩 I was considering popping to asda because I'm so impatient but I don't know if I can be bothered getting out of my pajamas 😂

Cheeeeeeeks · 21/03/2022 12:12

@BuchananBaby I literally Laughed out loud at the cup of pee ready, I initially read it as cup of tea😂. Fingers crossed for you!!!!

BuchananBaby · 21/03/2022 12:02

@Cheeeeeeeks the bottom one is last night and top from this morning with FMU. I'm 11/12 dpo according to flo but I think I may have ovulated 2 days later than expected because I distinctly remember wanted to dump dp for no reason one day and that normally happens when I ovulate 🙈😂, my frer is due on in the next 15 mins and I have a cup of pee ready so will update soon 🥰. Try not to get disheartened at 9dpo - it's so hard though!

Cheeeeeeeks · 21/03/2022 11:55

@BuchananBaby yes!! I see a lines too, a bit harder on the one below but i think I can just about see along the edges there is line on the bottom one. Defo let us know the results on the frer one! How many DPO are you?
I couldn't back and tested last night and this morning (9dpo) both negative:'( although I know it's early I was convinced it was gna be positive, silly me
@Shrekroll how many DPO are you?

Shrekroll · 21/03/2022 11:39

Think I'm out for this month. BFN yesterday. Will wait for AF now and test once more if it's late

RMS0209 · 21/03/2022 08:55

Better pic
I defiantly see something on the top one!!!

Aww @Gillseybear I hope you feel loads better today ❤

So last night I got a really faint line on an easy at home, slightly darker line this morning but really faint. Frers being delivered from Amazong today to hopefully confirm 🤞

Edited and unedited, been getting Stark negatives so don't think it's an evap

@Cheeeeeeeks thank you so much for your reply. That does instal some confidence in me: I am going to pick up some tests and see what happens. I just wish I didn't still feel so rubbish as that would help make things easier.

Cheeeeeeeks · 19/03/2022 23:15

@LittleMrsMama I hope so too! Did you by any chance notice a change in CM after ovulation and implantation? I ask as I'm currently experiencing none which is a sign of AF coming up I think, feels like such a downer:'(

@Gillseybear the hayfever symptoms could be a sign of pregnancy by the way!!! Glad to hear you and your OH have come to a mutual agreement, yay! What CD are you and DPO could possibly be implantation bleeding? (not experienced this in the past myself) but from what I've researched. Fingers crossed for you! I'm currently 7pdo (8dpo after midnight) hoping to test at 10pdo at the earliest. Waiting is seriously driving me mad

Sorry if TMI but this is what it looks like when I wipe. I have a horrible back / hip ache to go with it.

So I sadly think I am out this month. I have been having good symptoms all month and then I just had a random cramp and popped to the toilet and when I wiped my spotting has gotten slightly heavier. It's only pink/red and it's not very much but it's still there. 😭😭😭. I have put a pad on and am going to continue to monitor it over the next few days and see what happens. I had so gotten my hopes up for this month.

Am so annoyed at myself for getting my hopes up.

@LittleMrsMama I am still not feeling great and pretty sure I have actually got a cold or the flu that I have picked up from work. It honestly feels to intense to be hay-fever especially for this time of year. I normally get my hay-fever later in the year. Plus the antihistamines are not helping. So I did a PCR test yesterday as it is a requirement for work.

On a different note me and the other half had a proper chat last night about the whole TTC and everything surrounding it. I told him that I really wanted a baby and it had upset me that he had been all over the place with it. I was completely honest about all my feelings and we have agreed that we are actually going to properly start trying instead of just seeing what happens. So that was progress.

I was feeling super confident about this month with all the symptoms but since I have been sick, they have tailed off and not been as prominent. So now my confidence has gone.

I'm 10DPO on Sunday. Wondering when to test. And going mad symptom spotting!

Aardbeien · 19/03/2022 08:36

I've stopped testing for now because the BFN were bothering me, waiting on AF, but I might still surprise myself if AF continues her no show streak 🤷🏼‍♀️ wishing everyone else all the luck 🤞

BuchananBaby · 19/03/2022 07:47

Good morning @LittleMrsMama I'm good thanks how are you?

I decided to test this morning (10 dpo) with easy@home and negative then had the genius idea to use my frer 🙈 I have the faintest line but I don't think it has colour so must be an evap but it showed up right away which is annoying 😤, can't even get it on camera 😩

LittleMrsMama · 19/03/2022 06:52

How's everyone doing? Anyone testing today?

@Gillseybear how're you feeling? I hope a bit better than Thursday!

@Cheeeeeeeks keeping my fingers crossed for you that spike in temp was implantation!

@LittleMrsMama congratulations!!! Hope it's a sticky bean for you! Yay our first announcement on the group!
On a side note just had a third pregnancy announcement in my family!
@Excited101 how's it's going for you? Any symptoms? I'm going to test on Wednesday with those early ones. I had a very high temperature all day yesterday which makes me think it was implantation. Had back pain as well as abdomen pains.
