Hello all!

I've been lurking for a few weeks since beginning ttc recently, so thought it was time I posted something!

I think I ovulated yesterday (and dtd) so will now have my fingers crossed until 7th feb when AF if due. Anyone want to keep me company?! I'm ready to obsessively symptom spot and look out for implantation pain!

As background, we've been careful on and off since November, but are active ttc this month. Trying to be patient knowing this could take ages yet! I already have a nearly 13 yo ds from a previous relationship.

Good luck to us all xx

Oh btw guys, I think I have answered my own question after conducting sme research. I think my new super senstive OPKs detect LH too low (25 miu), most OPKs detect the surge at 30 - 40 miu...hence the reason why my test is positive! Grrrr

Wardy I would just check the detection level of any brand. I have used First Response and ClearBlue but seeing as I am yet to have +ive I can't really back up my advice on PG tests!

I've been calculating it wrong this whole time

LoveLaughingLots · 07/02/2013 12:18

AnythingNotEverything What app do you use??

LLLx

AnythingNotEverything · 07/02/2013 12:23

It's called My Cycles - free on App Store and the pic is a pink Chrysanthemum.

Works for me - you can track symptoms and it averages out your cycles and tells you when your fertile time is likely to be. It's not fool proof, but my cycles are pretty stray so it's great for me.

Does anyone else find they actually seem to make their 2ww longer just by hoping they don't get af?

Wardy17 · 07/02/2013 13:49

Yes!!! I've made the wait do much worse for myself by obsessing!!

Tinyflutterby · 07/02/2013 13:53

Sometimes I wish there was a little window that you could look in and say 'ah, so I'm ovulating' or 'oh, so that pain is implantation'... (sorry, bit weird, but would make things so much easier and none of this hanging around obsessing about what every imaginary symptom is!)

Wardy17 · 07/02/2013 13:55

I know!! And this the only place to vent coz everyone else would think I was crazy!!

mrsLAQ · 07/02/2013 17:00

A window would be great! I always thought I would be quite relaxed about ttc, how wrong I was...

babyrose · 07/02/2013 17:18

How's it going Mrslaq? Having anymore symptoms?

mrsLAQ · 07/02/2013 17:29

The only new one is that I burst into tears today, not sure that's a pg symptom though! Cramping seemed to ease off around lunchtime today. The more I over think it, the more I have convinced myself that I have just missed ovulation

I have been drinking plenty of (decaf) to try and cheer myself up, feel free to tell me to snap out of it! I think I'm going slightly doo-lally...

How about you? Any new symptoms?

babyrose · 07/02/2013 17:44

I'm getting that feeling aswell missing ovulation but would the crampy/pressure feeling go on for 3 nites makes me wonder.sore boobs for the last two days but more noticeable today. And (sorry for this) snot like discharge.
Ive read people getting hormonal whilst pregnant, so it sounds hopeful!

mrsLAQ · 07/02/2013 18:15

Ahhh it worked, you have restored my hopes!

Spooky how similar our symptoms sound, although my boobs aren't doing anything unusual. I know exactly what you mean by "snot like", it's definitely not snot like in an infected sense but I had wondered what it was all about!

I have to go to a drinks thing on Saturday, was wondering about caving and having one as I was being a pessimistic grump bag, but perhaps I'll hold off in hope.

When are you testing? I was thinking about next Friday as that's the theoretical day my af is due and I'm scared of doing it too soon for a BFN!

babyrose · 07/02/2013 18:37

U could always pretend to drink! Then nobody would suspect anything.

I'm not sure about testing, I think I might try to hold off as long as I can( im sure I will cave in sooner tho!

Its heart breaking getting that bfn.

QueenofClean · 07/02/2013 18:48

Hey Ladies

I'm home from a long day at work. My girls are in bed so just having a hot bath before some dinner and relaxing and enjoying the last few hours of my twenties!

I have no symptoms tbh although do feel my boob are bigger it's all in my head

Like MrsLaq AF due next Friday so just waiting to see tbh.

Wardy17 · 07/02/2013 20:00

AF due tomorrow tested this eve BFN!!!

mrsLAQ · 07/02/2013 23:41

Ahhh happy birthday queen! Sorry about the bfn wardy,fx afraid will stay away and you might get a different result in a few days.

mrsLAQ · 07/02/2013 23:42

*af

QueenofClean · 08/02/2013 05:23

Thanks MrsLaq.

Today it's my birthday and I'm 29+1

No symptoms here. I will be really shocked and thrilled if we managed to get upduffed this month considering we had the bug the week I was ov.

LoveLaughingLots · 08/02/2013 06:35

Happy Birthday Queen of Clean!! All the best for the coming year!

raises glass of champagne Oooh champagne....

Apprx 4/5DPO today, defo feeling more pain. So much so that We couldn't BD...is that normal? We BD throughout the cycle not just during O, it takes my mind off things (well, sorta!)

How is everyone doing today? Symptoms? More BFPs?! Fx...

QueenofClean · 08/02/2013 08:07

Queen of Clean I feel guilty if I drink! Like I've given up or something...I dunno...I'll think about it, I would KILL a glass of champagne though! Hope you have a good day!

Wardy try and stay positive! A near impossible feat, I know! But I find focussing on what I want makes me feel better. If focussing on a BFP doesn't feel too good because you're just thinking about not having one yet, then just think about something else that makes you feel good!! Thinking of you...

Is anyone testing around Valentines Day?? How cool (and cheesy! lol) would that be? I think Ariel said she was...

My DP kindly reminded me this morning that I will be nearing the date AF is usually here...I didn't think he paid much attention tbf! lol

Have a good day girls.

babyrose · 08/02/2013 09:17

QueenofClean · 08/02/2013 09:30
