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 😄

@Downtherabbithole83 thank you - tbh I'd already convince myself it wasn't going to last as the lines didn't get any darker - with my first I had an obvious line the day of my missed period so it wasn't looking great 6 days late and squinting this time round. Anyway, onwards and upwards! 🙈

@Mrsrobinsonx sorry to hear that, but fingers crossed for us both next month!

@MrsL22 that's great that you'll be seen by May, must be nice to have that in the back of your mind and like you said, hopefully you won't need it as you'll be pregnant before then!

MrsL22 · 14/01/2023 08:11

Congratulations @MexicanDrinkingWorm That’s amazing news!!

@Downtherabbithole83 i do feel better. At least for knowing that actually I’m entitled to some help earlier due to my history. Still hopeful that by taking the pressure off It’ll be pregnant before I get to needing the help 🤣

Mrsrobinsonx · 13/01/2023 22:26

@MexicanDrinkingWorm congratulations! 😍
@DancingNancies AF came for me today too. CD1 again!

Downtherabbithole83 · 13/01/2023 22:21

Congrats @MexicanDrinkingWorm ! That’s super news xx

Downtherabbithole83 · 13/01/2023 22:20

Sorry that AF has made an unwelcome visit @DancingNancies but I totally know what you mean about not being in limbo - hopefully this month will be luckier! 🤞

Hope you’re feeling okay after your appointment @MrsL22 xx

MexicanDrinkingWorm · 13/01/2023 22:19

Thanks for your nice messages ladies, did two clear blue tests tonight and both said positive to back up the earlier ones so I’ve got lucky this month.
fingers crossed you all get your positives soon xxx

MrsL22 · 13/01/2023 20:26

@DancingNancies sorry to AF arrived. But like you said, fresh start now - hello cd1

MrsL22 · 13/01/2023 20:25

Well I’ve been to see my GP today as I was concerned about having had a MC in November and having seriously light AF each month. I’ll be referred to fertility clinic if not pregnant by May so at least I have a little plan until then.

All those lessons in school scaring us into abstaining from sex because ‘you will fall pregnant’… 🙄🙈 if only it were that easy

DancingNancies · 13/01/2023 19:06

Aaaand I think my body heard me, as AF is finally here, complete with hideously painful cramps...but I'm actually a little relieved. If those lines weren't going to progress at least now I'm back at CD1 and can start again, not ideal but better than being in limbo!

Livingonhope · 13/01/2023 17:29

@Downtherabbithole83 yes that does help thank you! naively I was hoping it was a sign this month is my month but I guess it's just normal! thank you my lovely!

Livingonhope · 13/01/2023 17:28

I have never ever had this before and my ovulation I literally like clock work the first day was darker than test line the remainder days has been equal darkness to the test line have tried two different testing kits I assume I have ovulated by now and perhaps levels are still high, I know it can be a sign of pcos but been tested for that too...I guess il find out soon just freaked me out!

Downtherabbithole83 · 13/01/2023 17:26

@Livingonhope not sure if this is useful as comparison - my opks last month around the peak (other days had a significantly fainter line)

TWW Buddies..
Downtherabbithole83 · 13/01/2023 17:24

@Livingonhope last month I had three days of very dark lines but of the six tests I took on those days, only one of them had the test line darker than the control (my peak, I guess?!)

Downtherabbithole83 · 13/01/2023 17:17

@MexicanDrinkingWorm that definitely looks positive to me. How exciting 🤞

@T4Opal I think I normally ovulate around CD11 or 12 if the opks are right… so weird how cycles can vary so much person to person! No wonder this conceiving malarky is such a tricky thing to get right!!!!

Livingonhope · 13/01/2023 15:36

can anyone please please help. Positive ovulation test on Tuesday( up to Tuesday I was getting negatives) however today I still have as strong a line on the ovation test surely three days on you would expect it to get lighter? has anyone ever had this??

DancingNancies · 13/01/2023 12:28

@MexicanDrinkingWorm that's 100% a positive, I wouldn't consider that faint at all, congrats!

@CloudyVenus fingers crossed for you still...not out yet!

I've tested once more, very faint positive line but again almost imperceptible so I really don't trust it, but no sign of AF and I'm 6 days late. Have only had 2 periods since coming off the pill, but the second was dead on time, loads of PMS symptoms in the run up too, so who knows.

I'm struggling with FMU because I always get up in the night to wee, so haven't really had anything concentrated to test with to give me a definite line or not 🙄

MrsSprouse · 13/01/2023 10:57

I'm on CD10 got a dark line on an opk on cd8 (not dark enough to be positive but almost there) and then a faint one the next evening so not sure if it goes up and down before ovulation as I've never started them that early. Either way I'll keep doing them as my Flo app says I am due to ovulate next week

MrsSprouse · 13/01/2023 10:53

@MexicanDrinkingWorm that's definitely a positive!

Mrsrobinsonx · 13/01/2023 09:46

My AF has arrived today so I’m officially on CD1 again x

Mrsrobinsonx · 13/01/2023 09:46

@MexicanDrinkingWorm thats definitely positive!! 😍

T4Opal · 13/01/2023 07:40

Ooh @MexicanDrinkingWorm that looks great! Fingers crossed!
@Downtherabbithole83 interesting you ovulate early, I always seem to be late! I’m on cd 7 today but it doesn’t normally happen until day 17. Annoying as we’ve got a weekend away tomorrow doh. I’ve just took the plunge and ordered some conceive plus. I find it really unsexy but I suppose needs must! Anyone else use it?

MexicanDrinkingWorm · 13/01/2023 06:34

@Downtherabbithole83 so I don’t think I’m out yet… I had this on a Tesco cheapy this morning a similar one yesterday morning… I can see the second line but it’s so faint I don’t trust it. Got some clear blue coming later today which hopefully will give me my answer 🙈
i was still testing negative on Tuesday which was the day after my period was due, although my cycles have been shorter since coming off the pill after my first baby so maybe I was due a longer one?!
something doesn’t add up, either I’ve ovulated late OR my body and these tests hate me and are just winding me up! I definitely had my normal PMS mega cramps at the start of the week too when expected.
@CloudyVenus good luck!!

🤷‍♀️

CloudyVenus · 12/01/2023 22:51

@Downtherabbithole83 No AF here, waiting until at least Sunday to retest

Downtherabbithole83 · 12/01/2023 21:47

Hey all!

Those of you still waiting, any BFPs or AF arrivals?

Those already hosting AF, how are you doing? I’ll be starting opks tomorrow as I usually ovulate fairly early (I think…) so time to start tracking again!
