It looks like my period is starting today so I am most Definitely out

Newmumwales · 05/01/2024 00:01

@LuceNumberTwo I’ll join you hun! I’m right there with you on the psycho bus… not sure how I’ll announce. I’m not feeling it will ever be real having another DC.

@Wanderingthroughparenthood great minds think alike!!!! 🙈🤣🤣

Does anyone else use the Clearblue advanced ovulation tests (the purple one)? It's my first time using them, I've used their regular test before (pink one) but I thought identifying my four most fertile days would be useful.

Flo thinks I'm due to ovulate tomorrow (Premom says Saturday) but the CB test is still giving me the empty circle, I was expecting it to show a flashing smiley face by now if I was going to ovulate on either Friday or Saturday.

I've taken two OPK (Premom ones) tests today and they're 0.33 and 0.23 so not sure if I'm going to ovulate late this month.

I used them last month...
Test early I started on cd10 but I should have sooner..I went from plain circle on day 11 to statiic smiley on day 12...
Glad someone else said they happened to them too...
Anyways I got AF early on 31 Dec so I'm starting again this month....
Il use the clear blue 4 days again...also expensive enough...
Got 2 AF in December...4th and 31st....
Someone mentioned preseed I'm using it 4 months now so far hasn't worked for us but the reviews are great...also its dear enough....
Hubby bought some fertility cup thing this month also alot good reviews on this....
Anyways seen on some insta page belonging to a nurse who works for a fertility consultant the proceive male max strength sachets is recommended for the men while ttc....so might get them.....
Also expensive....

KittyFantastica · 04/01/2024 20:42

I managed to hold for three and a half hours. All I had was cheapies and one from Clearblue fertility tracker (not the ovulation sticks), and I think... I think this is the beginnings of something.

Still no AF here?! Not sure what is going on.

elleaddams · 04/01/2024 20:13

So I have just found out about preseed?!

it seems to have been successful for many people. I'm always skeptical about these products but I've been googling high and low and people are raving about it. How am I only just hearing it now?!

I ordered some either way so let's see how it goes!

Here's a link for anyone interested

@LuceNumberTwo Yeah it really is!! Hopefully this is your time! Maybe youll get one of each 😂😂

I have two girls. Would love another girl 😄 although I dont want to be picky!! X

LuceNumberTwo · 04/01/2024 18:53

How would you guys announce?

Like I just kind of spilled the beans with my DD 🤣🤣 I was only about 4 minutes pregnant! X

Wanderingthroughparenthood · 04/01/2024 18:39

Also guilty of looking at accouncement plaques and baby clothes today… I ovulate tomorrow 🤣

LuceNumberTwo · 04/01/2024 18:30

@Newmumwales Yaaaay! Would you like to join me on the pyscho bus?! I tested today too.. infact I tested 6dpo.. so yeah! 🤣 negative as fooook

But I'm having so many symptoms, I'm so convinced I'm pregnant otherwise the pms has ramped right up for me. My boobs are constantly burning, metallic taste & feeling on & off sick. My boobs aren't easing at all like it's constant burning, I've actually never had this symptom in previous pregnancies! Im even more mental because I'm convincing myself it's twins.. Why, why why why 🤣🤣

@H938 Its devastating isn't, like to find out something super amazing but it all be taken away from you very quickly, it's the worst & even when I do get my rainbow, I'll never forget what I went through
DP is desperate for a boy so says if it's a girl we will go again... Eh doubt it love, don't think it works that way! Im all for mummy of 3 but to me I don't care what it is haha!
I can't remember if you said, I know you have other kids, how many do you have?

H938 · 04/01/2024 18:28

@Newmumwales your last one really made me laugh!! 7dpo is way early anyway so just keep testing if you cant help yourself. Funny you should say about baby clothes, I was looking today aswell 😂. Im deffo not testing until next thursday, I dont want the disapointment. My youngest just said to me ‘when we have our new baby sister’ 👀 so hopefully thats whats coming 🤣

@Wyewaving A couple of us on here have been using them, they do seem to work well, when I fist used it someone told me you need to use it a couple of times first go. I got a blank circle and then static smiley in the same day! So maybe try a couple times throughout the day but also your LH strips should be dark at the same time (says me on what ive learnt of 3 months of being on here 😄)

Newmumwales · 04/01/2024 17:49

I'm officially mad and lost the plot!!!!

found myself online looking at baby clothes and pregnancy announcements. Shoot me now! Let me sleep until 12th January please.

SLLR · 04/01/2024 17:04

@KittyFantastica CONGRATULATIONS darling!!!!!!!

@H938 i tested today like an idiot at 7DPO and BFN. I don’t think I am even though felt sicky today.

@LuceNumberTwo when is AF due? I’m mad too. Tested today at 7DPO. Whyyyyyyy. @BiscuitDreams I’m 40 and trying for number 2. Welcome

Mummysparrow · 04/01/2024 12:53

I have had a small amount of blood this morning and I can't work out if it is implantation bleed or signs my period will start soon. I normally get a bit of blood a few days pre period but as my period has been all over the place if my period is on its way it will be an under 30 day cycle when it is mainly over 30 days. My test on Tuesday was negative and I am 12dpo today. I really don't want to waste another expensive pregnancy test

PeekABoo22 · 04/01/2024 12:38

I'm torn between being glad I haven't told my OH about when I ovulate and hating obsessing over it on my own. On one hand I think it's made DTD much more enjoyable because we are just connecting, having fun, no pressure on him, etc... But on the other hand worrying about it by myself is draining! 😅

Wanderingthroughparenthood · 04/01/2024 12:24

I’m due to ovulate tomorrow so will have sex tonight and tomorrow again then will tell him to get to the spare bed for peace for a week ;) hahaha.
i am 100% not testing until day of period is due. I know I’ll be super tempted to but I don’t want to do the whole is it a line or is it not and have to wait days for it to become clearer anyway. Both previous pregnancies I had strong lines on period due dates so hopefully the same this time!

H938 · 04/01/2024 12:13

@LuceNumberTwo 😂😂😂 I know its soooo hard and the waiting is just too much. Also I totally get that if it does say pregnant then its all the what ifs, thats the bit that worrys me as my last pregnancy I miscarried and not tried since then 🫠 I feel like its all so much to think about. Also as soon as I get a tiny little pain im like thats it, its AF getting ready! Wow now i think im crazy too 😂 X

KittyFantastica · 04/01/2024 11:58

Thank you @LuceNumberTwo and @BiscuitDreams!

I got too excited and did a Clearblue digital, but it said not pregnant, so trying not to get my hopes up now. I guess the cheapie one could be faulty. I'm hoping my urine was too diluted on the Clearblue, but it's supposed to be super sensitive so unlikely now.

LuceNumberTwo · 04/01/2024 11:52

@H938it's so hard... I hate being addicted to testing wish I could just wait & be patient. The thing is even when I test positive it opens another world of worry for me. So I don't know why I do it to myself!! 🙈

No I'm going to wait till Monday! The tests are hidden away by my partner. I'm going to seek therapy... Might get sectioned.. woohoo🥳

BiscuitDreams · 04/01/2024 11:39

@KittyFantastica I can see it too!

BiscuitDreams · 04/01/2024 11:39

Hello all! Can I join you? I'm dpo1 (maybe dpo2) today and I feel it's going to be a long two weeks! We've been TTC on and off for a year but mostly off, so this is the first month of actually properly using opks and looking at timings. I have been pregnant twice before and fell super quickly both times and I'm a bit baffled that it's not happened yet, but the on and off might explain it. 🤣 My previous pregnancies were 7+ years ago too and I'm 39 now, so I think the age is finally catching up with me. Eek.

Look forward to seeing everyone's BFPs soon!

H938 · 04/01/2024 11:27

@LuceNumberTwo yes its early so dont let it get to you, maybe try on Saturday x

LuceNumberTwo · 04/01/2024 11:20

I did it.. Its negative.. I think thats maybe normal considering how early I'd be. Or I'm holding onto that a bit. Why am I like this 😵‍💫😕

@KittyFantastica I can definitely see that line 🥰🥰
