Hi,

Currently trying for DC 2, already have a 2 year old DS.

I should have ovulated today 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Anyone else entering the TWW? Due AF 7th Jan but will probably end up testing a couple days before 😄

@SimplyChic sorry, that doesn’t look like anything to me. Best to just wait until you’re definitely clear of AF and then test again.

@Charl2701 my chemical also didn’t affect my cycle and I ovulated on CD18 so I’m really not sure. Have you tracked with OPKs?

@Mrsrobinsonx sounds like we may be testing around the same time then. Fingers crossed for two BFPs!!

SimplyChic · 04/02/2023 08:48

Think I may have line eyes again 🤦‍♀️ it always seems to look like something that turns into nothing 🤷‍♀️ if correct AF isn't due until tomorrow but with last cycle missed, I'm not sure how reliable it is

@MrsL22 This is how I feel this month, I don’t want to see another negative test 😭so I’m waiting until AF arrives. if she’s late then obviously I’ll have to test but yeah (probably end of next week for me too)

@Charl2701 my chemical didn’t seem to effect my cycle much and I ovulated about 2/3 weeks later but I’ve heard for some people it can delay your cycle etc so that’s probably what’s happening, I’d give it a couple more days for AF to arrive x

Charl2701 · 03/02/2023 22:23

Hi ladies, hope you’re all well. So I’m currently 14 DPO from OPK. had a chemical pregnancy last month (December) so if I go from that bleed I’m currently cycle day 42 but testing negative, anyone have anything similar?

MrsL22 · 03/02/2023 22:22

@Pitstop1986 Well I’m pretty sure I ovulated on Friday 27th… and my luteal phase is usually 12 days which also takes me to Wednesday for AF to be due. But I was hoping to wait as late as possible. Maybe even the weekend. Actually give myself a chance to miss a period rather than testing early?

Who knows - I just know I’m really not ready for another month of negatives 😢

Pitstop1986 · 03/02/2023 21:21

When are you planning to test @MrsL22 ?

Pitstop1986 · 03/02/2023 21:20

AF is due on Wednesday (the 8th) for me, I'm weighing up when's best to test as I'm not sure when I ovulated this month...

Getting all the usual AF symptoms, so may just wait until AF is late, to save me wasting tests

MrsL22 · 03/02/2023 21:05

@Pitstop1986 😂😂😂 love that!

Where is everyone up to? When is everyone testing? I’m hoping to wait until the end of next week when AF is due. Anyone else got another week ahead of them??

Pitstop1986 · 03/02/2023 20:51

DH watching a program where the girl announces her pregnancy...

Looks at me
Looks at the TV
Looks at me

"When do we get to pee on a stick?!"

Hahaha

Mrsrobinsonx · 03/02/2023 16:09

@Pitstop1986
I’m not planning on testing at all this month unless AF doesn’t show but we shall see how far I make it 😅
I hate knowing it’s a no this month then having to wait looong days to actually start my period.

ooh it’s annoying that AF symptoms are so similar to pregnancy, I was tired last month the couple of days before it started. X

Pitstop1986 · 03/02/2023 16:04

Another symptom for me- I feel absolutely exhausted, although this is my first full week back in work after 13 months of maternity leave, so could be that taking it's toll on me.

Day off tomorrow. I'd say that I can rest and recharge my batteries, but not likely with a clingy toddler!

Pitstop1986 · 03/02/2023 14:54

@Mrsrobinsonx are you waiting for AF to be late before you test, or are you testing early?

Mrsrobinsonx · 03/02/2023 14:26

@Pitstop1986 ugh yes I usually want to eat crap when my period is near 🙈 it’s a bit early though isn’t it? Who knows, ttc is so unpredictable.
Noo not really, I had lots of symptoms last month and thought I was pregnant but this month hardly anything so I’m just as confused.
only things I’ve noted is slightly sore breasts, still wet down there & just like niggling pains in my stomach but not period like. All of them are really mild though x

Pitstop1986 · 03/02/2023 14:04

Any symptoms for you @Mrsrobinsonx

Pitstop1986 · 03/02/2023 14:03

Yesterday I had unquenchable hunger. Ate all of my meals, the rest of a box of Ferrero rocher left over from Christmas, then went to the corner shop for a bar of chocolate, a bag of crisps and a magnum. Feeling a bit emotional which I was this time last month, it all points to period being due in the next few days, so I'm certain that I'm out this month.

Saying that, I keep looking at my calendar wondering when to do a test, just to be certain it's a definite negative!

Mrsrobinsonx · 03/02/2023 12:38

@Pitstop1986 ahhh I’m so nervous 😂
I’m really feeling it this month, I want it so bad 😭

how are you feeling? Symptoms etc? X

Pitstop1986 · 03/02/2023 11:06

@SimplyChic I'd wait a couple of days to test. The hormone needs time to build up after IB. Hopefully by then either AF will be here, or you'll have your bfp!

@Mrsrobinsonx I'm due my period on Wednesday too! We're cycle buddies!

SimplyChic · 03/02/2023 08:57

Thanks ladies! If it is IB, when should I try and test if AF doesn't appear? Admittedly, it could be another body fluke of mine 😂

Mrsrobinsonx · 03/02/2023 07:40

@SimplyChic I’ve heard IB can be really little or a fair bit so I guess it depends.

AF is due next Wednesday for me, although will give it up until the weekend to arrive I think. X

MrsL22 · 03/02/2023 06:49

I’ve always gone down the line of ‘any spotting that turns into your period’ is day 1. For example in the Flo app, if you log spotting then a period it recommends you change your period dates to include the spotting.
AF is due sometime next week for me and I’m so sick of waiting already 😂🙈

MrsSprouse · 02/02/2023 23:20

@Downtherabbithole83 that test looks promising! Keep us updated x

@SimplyChic could be implantation? Fingers crossed for you x

My spotting carried on for 2 days and today turned into full on AF right on time. Now I'm wondering if I need to count the past 2 days as AF too making me CD3

I always wonder this about where to count from! I read something last month that said any spotting which develops into your period, should be counted as it. Is that what everyone else does? I never count until it arrives properly so probably all the notes in my app are wrong!

SimplyChic · 02/02/2023 22:05

@Mrsrobinsonx I did wonder a little, but I noticed a couple of drops in my undies mixed with clear CM then when I wiped twice then that was it I thought it was pre AF spotting as I assumed IB was very scant? And I've had brown spotting before AF a lot in the past.

When is your AF due? And I honestly can't blame you, it's so difficult to not get excited isn't it

Mrsrobinsonx · 02/02/2023 21:48

@SimplyChic could it possibly be implantation? I know you said you’ve been doing opk’s but maybe missed it?

I’m still in the tww, not had many symptoms this month but a few I’ve written down. Feeling optimistic but also trying to stop myself at the same time to avoid disappointment 🙈

SimplyChic · 02/02/2023 21:44

Thank you both! Nothing new yet it appears to have stopped now after a few wipes 🤣

@Mrsrobinsonx how is everything with you now? We've been talking a little while last I heard you were nearing ovulation? X
