I’m now 3dpo and trying to feel positive. My OPK peak times up with when I had EWCM and I’m sure I had some ovulation pain on Thursday. I’ve never realised it before now but I nearly always have a pain for a few hours in between AF’s so guess I nearly always have it but never paid any attention to what is was or why. Even though the timings all line up I still have a fear that I ovulated much later and missed dtd at the right time. I know it’s irrational 😂

@OCM19 oh I hope so much you get a bfp. It must be so hard your brother and his girlfriend having a baby on the way. Mixed emotions for you I imagine you poor thing

I’m absolutely fine now. I’ve had time to wrap my head round it not happening this month and feel better now I’m going to try and help it. I’m still just spotting when wiping but due on Thursday although would love it to be tomorrow as gives me an extra day before we go away ha ha. Hoping if we can get a few goes in before we go that I’ll ovulate quick enough after that there’s some swimmers left 😂 I’m not going to bother doing OPK or anything though as could be a waste of precious tests.

@allgoodthings84 ohh let me know how you get on with the vitamins.

I'm doing ok, had a little cry to my DH once our DS was in bed, my brother and his gf announced their pregnancy on fb tonight (I knew a few weeks ago) but it’s just been a bit hard. I’m going to use my FRER tomorrow morning. How are you? Xx

How are you all ladies?

I have just ordered a vitamin b complex with added D3 and folic acid vitamin. Thinking the b vitamins won’t do any harm even if don’t work. Can maybe help with my tiredness etc

@calipoppy if I’m honest I’m not sure. I came off the pill and we was using condoms but not always very careful. It was 9 months after I came off the pill but we did use protection a lot and I didn’t track anything at all (and we did so much separately that we only dtd once a week). We wasn’t ttc but was happy for it to happen. We wanted a baby but was also enjoying life as it was so was very relaxed about it. I wish I could be relaxed about it this time but I’m 37 so haven’t got the luxury now. I was 29 when I conceived my daughter. I didn’t realise I was pregnant until nearly 7 weeks as had no symptoms and didn’t track anything to it hadn’t clicked that I hadn’t had a period

@allgoodthings84 exactly it just feels like dead time once you realise you're out but AF still isn't there! Hope yours comes soon too!

How long did it take you to conceive your DD? Mine took 7 months and an MC, but then with my recent loss we conceived first time and had only dtd once that month! Just goes to show it really is like rolling a dice every month!

@havanamama if you didn’t test positive for it to be around 7dpo now then I would say you definitely ovulated earlier and that’s why you didn’t get the positive when you expected and why your line is good 😊. I remember with my daughter the state of shock I was in when I saw the positive pregnancy test. I was happy of course but so shocked that something so amazing had happened for me. I know I will feel the same this time too but I think the first time is an extra special feeling. I only have one though so that’s a guess ha ha

@havanamama Yay glad you got a positive again on the second test! 😀

@CinderellaFant I'm sorry you've had another BFN, sending big hugs ❤

havanamama · 28/06/2022 16:13

Thank you everyone! I got so distracted I forgot to say 🙏🏻

@allgoodthings84 yes, first one!

this month I actually did not test positive on ovulation tests on the usual days , but presumed it was the fault of the Clear Blue. Maybe I ovulated early and just didn’t test it then. If so, then I could be 10DPO or 11 DPO.

@calipoppy and @CinderellaFant it’s so hard realising you’re out isn’t it. Even though you know there’s still a possibility it’s hard knowing inside you’re out. I think as soon as AF’s are here though we will feel a bit better as can try again. I just want my AF here now and never thought I would say that!

@havanamama congratulations that’s a great line for 7dpo! Most aren’t even likely to test positive at that stage are you sure you’re definitely only 7dpo? I bet you’re so excited. Is it your first?

@newgal welcome to the group. We are all here to support each other and I will start a new one after the weekend as think everyone will have either tested or AF here (if waiting like me for AF)

@OCM19 I haven’t got any more tests at home.
I did these 2 and then a small test strip that also had a faint 2nd line

I’ve alerted the baby daddy, we will go test shopping tonight and then I’ll do in the morning

Anyone else due to test around 30th June/1st July?
calipoppy · 28/06/2022 15:46

Sorry to hear you're in the same boat as me @CinderellaFant , at least we can keep each other company next month 🙂

OCM19 · 28/06/2022 15:33

Omg @havanamama i see it 👀 🤞 a tentative congratulations, eeekkk this is so exciting! Have you tested on a FRER yet? X

CinderellaFant · 28/06/2022 15:22

Congratulations @havanamama

I caved and took a test and it's BFN. Day 12 PO today so looks like I'm out this month ☹️

havanamama · 28/06/2022 15:00

I took another test and it’s also got a line!
omg! I’ll test again tomorrow in the morning as I think I’m hallucinating 😄

vitahelp · 28/06/2022 14:21

@newgal Welcome! I’m probably going to test tomorrow too, although torn whether I want to or not as zero symptoms is making me expect a negative result. You’ll find it helps a lot to check in here, we’ve got a super supportive thread going xx

vitahelp · 28/06/2022 14:19

@havanamama Yes I see it! That’s amazing,
congratulations!! I’ve bought very cheap ones from Morisons, £3.50 for 2 so won’t be using them until earliest tomorrow (11dpo).

@allgoodthings84 @calipoppy Thank you ❤️ Luckily I’ve kept busy today and the day has gone by quickly. Can feel temptation creeping in to test soon, I’m 10dpo so wouldn’t be too outrageous. I think I just want to be put out of my misery, but on the other hand like @allgoodthings84 said it can be nice to stay in that bubble where there is hope for a bit longer.

newgal · 28/06/2022 14:12

Hi everyone, hope you don't mind me joining :) I'm new here and ttc - due to test around the same time, maybe even tomorrow. Did not track ovulation this cycle and the length varies from 29-36 days so hard to know what's up! No symptoms yet. Sending lots of good wishes your way!

calipoppy · 28/06/2022 13:46

@havanamama I see it!! Amazing for 7dpo! 🙏🙏🙏

havanamama · 28/06/2022 13:44

Guys I was totally impatient and did one of the early ones - are my eyes messing with me?

Anyone else due to test around 30th June/1st July?
calipoppy · 28/06/2022 13:44

Sorry you're having a bad day @vitahelp it's just such a long road isn't it! Nobody tells you until you start trying how difficult having a baby can be!

I just use cheapies, then I don't feel guilty if I test loads 😂

allgoodthings84 · 28/06/2022 13:26

I’m so sorry a few of you are feeling down 😞 this ttc thing is so emotional isn’t it. Gets to this stage and I think we just all want it to be time to get a bfp or AF to hurry up so we can crack on. I thought the 2ww would be long but exciting but it’s long and worrying

OP posts:
havanamama · 28/06/2022 13:15

I just bought 2 Clear& Simple Early Response tests - will do one on 30/06 - 6 days before missed predicted period.

it will be 7DPO though so not having high hopes anyways. AF due on 5th, so might use the other one over the weekend.

What tests are you all using ?

vitahelp · 28/06/2022 12:52

@Angie2018 I'm not really sure when to expect AF as it's only my second cycle off BC and I've not really settled into a routine yet. Last month I only had a 24 day cycle so based on that I would be due AF today - but my cycles used to be 28-29 days when off the pill in the past so I expect this cycle to be a bit longer than last month.

I'm glad you & @Cdoc are feeling a bit better today. I'm definitely having one of the bad days today but hoping tomorrow is better. Luckily work is very busy today which has taken my mind off things a bit.

Angie2018 · 28/06/2022 09:54

@Cdoc so glad you feel more positive today! I do a bit as well, not much but a bit. I just want to know now.... or atleast see what my temps do over the next couple of days as that will tell me I think. If it's low tomorrow I know it's game over for me and I can mentally move on. I am busy today as well so that's always a good thing right?! Yeah 7dpo today what about you? Yep hoping implantation happens soon at least gives me a bit of a sign! Boobs aren't enough to even class a 1/10 sore, right boob maybe. Feel absolutely NOTHING. Hoping that's a good thing xx

Angie2018 · 28/06/2022 09:52

vitahelp · 28/06/2022 08:50

@Angie2018 I'm 10 dpo today. Thought I'd feel excited at this stage to be close to finding out one way or the other, but instead I'm just dreading it!

I totally get it 😢 when is AF due? X
