Agh! This tww is agnosing! AF due in 11 days. I'm on month 6 of ttc for baby no.1! I don't know why but I just have good feelings about this month. I feel like our timing was better cos I used the clear blue opks doe the first time.

Anyone else in their two week wait?! Join me!

Morning, how is everyone today? I feel like I’ve lost the plot this morning, I was up at 5am as I am away with work today and I have tablets for travel sickness on the trains, only thought this morning I don’t know if they are okay to take while pregnant/ttc. I did a quick test just incase, not a sensitive early one (so yes I just don’t know what I was thinking, blame being half asleep still!) and at the time thought I could see something so took this photo, but now I’m actually awake on the train I can see this is negative and my eyes were playing tricks on me! But that is my first pregnancy test of ttc so I’m going to celebrate that🤣 And also- I now have period cramps and really feel like AF could start today. So it’s 6:30 and already I’m exhausted 🤣

I always crack so early lol. I NEED to hold out until 10DPO for my own sanity. I got a decent positive at 8DPO with my first pregnancy but know that's pretty unusually early and need to keep telling myself it's too early to worry about lol.

Only 2DPO and already feeling angsty!!

How are you all getting on?

Oh god I totally get you!! I get angsty too. I'm 4/5 dpo today and I'm feeling so ready to test but know its way way too early haha.

Yes and I did get a flashing smiley and then the next day a static. I feel a bit :( because I had a chemical in May and all the threads about chemicals are filled with people getting pregnant the very next cycle. But here I am three cycles later and nothing!

Peony2021 · 10/08/2023 16:11

@User657891 we both used CB digital this cycle didn't we? I do like them but as you say the BBT might just give the more precise detail. I didn't for my first but I have a feeling this one might prove more elusive lol

User657891 · 10/08/2023 16:09

@Mrsttcno1 you could try tomorrow? I think 10dpo is not THAT early to test. I'm trying to wait until 10DPO

Mrsttcno1 · 10/08/2023 16:09

I honestly wish I could just fast forward a few days so I can test and find out now! X

User657891 · 10/08/2023 16:06

@Peony2021 I am also thinking of tracking BBT if this cycle doesn't happen for me! Just be good to have certainly ovulation did happen!

Peony2021 · 10/08/2023 16:01

@Mrsttcno1 this looks so promising keep us posted!!! I don't track BBT but might start if this cycle doesn't happen for me.

2DPO and I had such obvious ovulation cramps a couple of days ago so I really hope that is helpful this time around! Out tomorrow eve for dinner and drinks and hopefully the weekend will take my mind off things.

Hope everyone hanging in there!

Hi! 2DPO here and also feel we timed it well this month. We’re on cycle 8 of TTC baby 2. We used easy@home and BBT so I’m more certain of when I ovd.

@Peony2021 im going to try and go until missed period 🫣 although I say that every month and crack! How about you?

I always crack so early lol. I NEED to hold out until 10DPO for my own sanity. I got a decent positive at 8DPO with my first pregnancy but know that's pretty unusually early and need to keep telling myself it's too early to worry about lol.

Only 2DPO and already feeling angsty!!

How are you all getting on?

Mrsttcno1 · 10/08/2023 15:23

@User657891 thank you! I really hope I have, I’ve not really got any symptoms currently other than I’m exhausted (but have been working away this week which does tire me out) and today my nipples are really sensitive almost to the point of pain in a bra, but my breasts in general aren’t tender so that probably doesn’t count as a symptom either🤣🤣

User657891 · 10/08/2023 15:19

Bloody hell that's a big peak! I think you have implanted fingers crossed 🤞

Mrsttcno1 · 10/08/2023 14:55

@User657891 yes I do here it is! You can see from this I had a very obvious “peak” and I had pains on that day which correlate with the peak for ovulation. So although todays is nowhere near how high it was on my high or peak day, it is actually the same as the day before my first high reading!

User657891 · 10/08/2023 14:33

@Mrsttcno1 I'm intrigued to see do you have the month view showing all your OPKs? Yes as discussed, a positive OPK later in your cycle like this can sometimes mean pregnancy. For some reason the pregnancy hormones can affect OPKs too.

Mrsttcno1 · 10/08/2023 11:44

Thank you both! I almost wish I didn’t track everything because then when it doesn’t make sense it sends you crazy questioning it all! I’ll try and hold off until Sunday at the earliest which would be 11DPO, my period is in theory due next Wednesday so if I am pregnant then FRER should probably pick it up by then!🤞🏻🤞🏻

Rightnow1245 · 10/08/2023 11:32

@Mrsttcno1 sometimes opks give a positive if pregnant.. so might want to try.. another thing which could of happen is your body geared up for ovulation when you saw the peak but you didn’t release an egg so it might be trying again to release an egg hence the positive opk x

Mrsttcno1 · 10/08/2023 08:02

Morning everyone! So I am extremely confused this morning! I’m 8dpo, continued doing OPK’s daily as is suggested by the app I’m using so that it can produce a graph of the full month for predictions etc. This is the result of the OPK! Now I know it’s not positive, but I wasn’t expecting it to be this dark for the second line? For reference, the last time it was this dark was the day before my “peak” one, so am I going to ovulate again, at 8dpo?🤣🤣

Oh strange! I have honestly no idea why it would be high, but I'd say don't take a pregnancy test at 8dpo cos it probably won't be accurate. I'd try and wait until at least 10 if you can!! X

Iamcatmum · 09/08/2023 22:21

Thank you! Fingers crossed for you - what DPO will you test? 😊

I'm thinking 10. But I know that's still too early tho. I just have no self control. What about you??

Omgreally11 · 10/08/2023 11:27

Mrsttcno1 · 09/08/2023 18:02

@Omgreally11 I think I will be exactly the same with testing!! Luckily I have no tests in the house and I’m away with work on Friday so I’m actually not in the house! I’ve ordered 3 different types of test on Amazon to deliberately arrive on Friday so that I’m not even in when they arrive, and by the time I get home on Saturday I’ll only have 1 day to wait, or I might try my absolute best to wait til Monday which would be 12dpo (yes I have lost the plot) 🥲 unless my period comes before then of course! X

Oh I totally hear you! I am thinking about it so so much this month!!!! Fingers crossed AF doesn't come before then. Good thinking ordering your tests at that time!!!! X

Mrsttcno1 · 10/08/2023 11:15

@User657891 a pregnancy test? Are the OPK’s not to pick up the hormone for ovulation? Apologies if I’m totally confused, I’m still very new to all of this, I thought having a darker OPK again would indicate possibly ovulating again although I’m not sure if that’s even possible as I’m 8dpo now? X

User657891 · 10/08/2023 11:12

@Mrsttcno1 I think you need to take a pregnancy test

Same situation! I'm 6 months of TTC. Had a chemical in May. Used clear blue OPKs this month and cheap boots ones too. Hoping for the best. I am 6DPO on 10th August

Newandtrying · 09/08/2023 22:58

2dpo here, although doubtful as only managed to ttc 2 days prior to ovulation. however I live in hope 🤞 I’ve got a box of the pink dye tests and would happily do a test every day from now 🤣
