Hi all

Currently TTC #1 and on my first cycle.

Have been tracking using OPKs and mobile-apps, and by estimation should have ovulated today / yesterday!

I loved following these threads as we prepared to start trying, if anyone would like to join. Smile

@yellowmoon487 how did your hen do go? Did you manage to keep your exciting news a secret?

Thank you @Whydotheyallhaverubbishwheels still can't half believe it!

Yeah @Jod30 I may have to enlist the help of a friend, the only issue is none of them are drinkers to be able to cover me! 🙈

@yellowmoon487 your line looks pretty definitive though so fingers crossed all goes well! That’s definitely going to be hard to conceal haha. Maybe swap bottles of Prosecco with ‘Nosecco’ 🤣

Whydotheyallhaverubbishwheels · 17/08/2022 13:16

Eeek @yellowmoon487 that's fab news!!!! Congratulations

Thanks @Jod30 to be honest I'm struggling to take it in 😂I'm definitely more reserved because of how early it is. Any ideas of how i can manage to remain sober and undetected at my hen this weekend? 😂

Hopefully it'll come in quickly for you ! Waiting for AF to end is always the most frustrating part.

Hi @Jod30 used my last Frer yesterday and got a decent second line! Have some digital ones on the way for the end of the week.

How are you getting on this month?

@yellowmoon487 did you use a cheapie today or are you still waiting to use your FRER tomorrow?

Sorry to hear @Jod30, at least you are one month closer. 🙏

I'll try and save the FR for Wednesday, though might use the strips tomorrow!

hi @yellowmoon487 unfortunately I didn’t even get a chance to test as AF started early on Saturday on what would have only been 11dpo. On to the next cycle for me! Exciting for you though, when will you test again?

yellowmoon487 · 15/08/2022 10:53

How are you feeling @Jod30?
I'm 11DPO, and have got very very faint lines on FRERs yesterday and today so just waiting to see what happens this week. 🙏

Very exciting @Whydotheyallhaverubbishwheels hope it all goes well!

Have you been noticing any symptoms @wontonsoupless?

Think I am going to hold out as long as I can to be honest! I am due AF between the 14th and the 18th, so not entirely too long to wait. I haven't felt the itch to start testing as of yet, but I am only 7DPO so at the back of my mind I know it would be a waste of time anyway. Have a busy weekend coming up too so hope I will be distracted 😂No real symptoms as of yet, aside from some mild cramping this morning which could really be anything.
How are you feeling?

Also how are you getting on @Whydotheyallhaverubbishwheels ? Hope things are progressing well!

I'm 7dpo and every night I'm Googling symptoms. I even went to boots to by a first response and my DH was like no you got so tests at home Grin it's such a long wait but I'm hoping it's a worthy one!!

Whydotheyallhaverubbishwheels · 11/08/2022 19:54

@yellowmoon487 I've got a private one booked for a couple of weeks time. Was just going to wait until the 12 week scan but it honestly feels like the longest 8 weeks from finding out until that scan!

yellowmoon487 · 11/08/2022 18:15

Glad to hear all is going to plan @Whydotheyallhaverubbishwheels , excluding the nausea! Have you had a dating scans or anything like that yet?

Thanks @Jod30 , let us know how you get on tomorrow /over the weekend, have fingers crossed for you. 🙏

Hey @yellowmoon487 all good here thanks. 8 weeks now and so very sick! I know it's worth it in the end but it's exhausting!

How are you doing? I can't believe how quickly your next cycle has come round! I've got everything crossed for you

Jod30 · 11/08/2022 13:44

@yellowmoon487 9dpo for me today and I think I’ll be tempted to test in the morning even though I know it’s still early and I have no symptoms whatsoever 😂 can’t resist! Enjoy your weekend and hopefully you’ll get some good news early next week

@yellowmoon487 6dpo for me and no signs of anything yet. Think I will test at the weekend so 11/12dpo. How about yourself?

yellowmoon487 · 08/08/2022 14:43

4DPO here so all fairly quiet!

When does everyone plan on testing?

ginandgiggles · 06/08/2022 16:11

Hi All!

I got a faint positive last month and then the mother of all AF's three days later so back on the ole cycle. currently on 6DPO but am going to try super hard to not symptom spot. How is everyone doing

Jod30 · 05/08/2022 11:15

@yellowmoon487 your cycle sounds very similar to mine with the short LP last month. Mine was 11/12 days. Glad you finally got your positive OPK! Happy Wedding preparations

yellowmoon487 · 05/08/2022 09:20

Hi both!

Finally got a peak on Wednesday so into the TWW today. Have a few wedding bits to get sorted that will hopefully save me from obsessing lol. App is estimating my next period on the 18th August so as usual will try to hold off testing until then.
My LP last month was only 10 days so could be as early as the 14th, though this cycle is nothing like the last 🙄

Hey everyone

Cd 12 for me apps say fertile week is next week but did digital and strip opk this morning and it came up with a solid smiley 😁

Jod30 · 02/08/2022 18:03

@yellowmoon487 hello, long time no speak on this group! I got my peak OPK yesterday on CD16 which is a couple days earlier than my last cycle. Hopefully you will get yours in the next couple days. Now on to the TWW where time fees like it goes backwards 😂
