Tested this morning BFN (if my periods are a delightful 28 day cycle I'm one day late). Guess I'm not going to be regular, I so hoped so but as this is my first month off pill I was being a bit unrealistic. Sad times

[Springbells]

Thanks trinpy, will keep everything crossed. Trying to work out what constitutes 'light spotting' - think I may be clutching at straws!

From what I have read about opks and lh, it could be a sign of pregnancy (peeonastick.com is a good site for the discussion about the practicalities of this!) hoping its a positive sign for you,

[Springbells]

Trinpy, ps, what day post ov are you?

[Mytwobeautifulgirls]

oh science could still be in with a chance ???

[ScienceGeekGirl]

Could be but would just like my AF to come so I know how long cycle is and get on with cycle 2.

[Malteaser1982]

Springbells and Trinpy I'm in the same boat - been spotting since last Fri (6dpo) - and today have some cramps as well. Early Fri morning (around 4am) I woke up feeling really nauseous and then the spotting started. Fx for you both.

I'm sorry Wakey

Twogirls sciencegeek and london. Hope it turns out it was a false negative!

Welcome gilly, good job on dtd :)

I'll be testing early tomorrow morning. I don't want to get my hopes up but this is certainly weird - never had spotting mid-2ww, except for when I was pregnant with DD (so implantation bleeding - which continued till 20 weeks gone, but that's another story). I have too many symptoms this cycle for it to end in BFN!

[Trinpy]

spring I'm 10 dpo. Don't know about yours but my light spotting was just a tiny amount of brown blood mixed with cm.

Took another opk this morning and the test line was lighter than yesterday. I googled it and found some stories of women who have lh surges right before af . Really don't think this is my month. I've decided against poas on Friday because I'm going to a funeral that day so I'll be feeling sad enough as it is without adding the disappointment of a bfn. Will do a frer tomorrow to get it out the way and won't bother doing anymore unless af is late; if the bleeding I had from 6 dpo was implantation then that is plenty of time to produce enough hcg. I HATE pregnancy testing and have probably wasted many hours of my life over the past 11 months tilting the bloody things in the light, just in case. Hence why I took an opk rather than an hpt .

Sorry for the rant. Probably pmt [hollow laugh].

Hi to gilly and good luck to malteaser .

[Malteaser1982]

Mine was more like brownish/pinkish discharge than blood as well Trinpy

[LondonSuperTrooper]

Thanks Malteasr I'm also hoping that it's a false negative but I think that I'm clutching at straws!

[Springbells]

Trinpy, know what you mean about creative lighting. You're perfectly entitled to rant. To be honest in a similar sort if mood... Will be checking back in tomorrow to find out what happened with fmu, but I'm out. I would certainly not described my body as 'spotting' at the moment, sadly. Af seems to be here super early this month. Sigh... Off to buy some vit b6, just in case. Good luck everyone x

[Mytwobeautifulgirls]

any news I'm seriously tempted to poas today

[LondonSuperTrooper]

I'm not POAS today..... I was intending to but do not wish to waste my last First Response test..... I think AF is on her way.... wwwaahhh

[LondonSuperTrooper]

How many dpo are you Mytwo?

[gilly86]

"Im at the very beginning of my 2 week wait... infact I think there is a small possibly I havent even OV yet.... !?

Today is CD17.

We DTD CD8, CD9, CD13, CD14, CD15 and CD16.

(Annoyed we missed CD 10,11 and 12 but I was working nightshifts )

Only came off the pill in december and cycles have been 29-30 ish days since then so I'm thinking i could still be in my fertile time!?

Gonna continue DTD as much as poss just in case haha

Either way, AF/BFP is due 2 weeks today and I already feel impatient!"



SO THAT WAS YESTERDAY MORNING ^^



Yesterday afternoon on my lunch break I decided to do an OPK and it was most definitely POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!
At the same time I also noticed EWCM. This all kinda makes sense as well because i charted a considerable bbt dip over the weekend which made me think OV was on the way....

So rushed home from work last evening to DTD!

Soooo now we have DTD CD8, CD9, CD13, CD14, CD15 and CD16 and CD17! (and my positive OPK was CD 17 with the line getting darker and darker around CD 15-16)



lol

SO... my question is, was all our DTD BEFORE ov a waste of time!? lol! Should we be focusing on dtd ON the day of a positive OPK and the 2-3 days AFTER? Or BEFORE? OR BOTH!!?!?!?!!?!?!?

AF is due around 25th march so the 2 week wait has already begun for me but Im thinking (as I only got a positive OPK yesterday and my bbt hasnt shot up yet) that I should be dtd for the next few days as well!?

[gilly86]

Wow sorry just realised how long my last post is!

[Mytwobeautifulgirls]

gilly U r in with a hood chance it's prob better to dtd before ov as they r all gte ready and waiting for when gte egg is released.

London in 10dpo I know I should wait just so tempted

[LondonSuperTrooper]

Gilly Wow at DTD so much!! We only managed to do it once in my last cycle . I'm with Mytwo in that you've done enough DTD and it hasn't been a waste of time doing it before ovulation. I'm sure that I've read somewhere that this is the best scenario anyway as the sperm will be waiting for the egg.

Mytwo I tested at 9dpo and was so cross with myself. Hang in there. How early are you planning to test?

[Malteaser1982]

Same here london! Yesterday I caved in and did an IC which was very obviously negative, so it seemed like a waste to time to do another one this morning. I was also cramping a bit this am, so af might be on the way. I'm still having brownish discharge. Unless this turns into proper spotting, I'll test again Thursday am.

I am also 10dpo Twogirls

[LondonSuperTrooper]

Ahh sorry to hear that Malteaser Let's hope that AF doesn't rear her ugly head and we can finally have some BFP on this thread!

I'm 11dpo, so I'm with you and Mytwo for the final stretch of the 2WW.

[sunflowered]

Good morning all, can I still join in?

We're ttc #1, cycle 2. I'm 10-11 days po and think af should be along towards the end of the week (though she showed up 5 days early last month so could be any time...) After some obsessive symptom spotting last month I tried to take it easy this month but am still counting down the hours to the weekend.

[Mytwobeautifulgirls]

hi sun welcome
wow we r all in the same boat and will all be poas round about the same time so bfp all round hopefully.

I will test on Friday I think as that isr when af is due do you think that's best?

[gilly86]

Hahah yes we have dtd a lot this month! makes a change really because before ttc we were at an all time low of dtd... so busy with work all the time and so tired!!!!
but really going for it now, especially this month as we are really hoping for a 2013 baby haha

[twentythirteen]

Where are the bfp's? Come on our wombs!!!!!

Gilly, I think sperm can live as little as a few hours and a long as 6 days in a woman's body so it wasn't all wasted. Also, they say not to time sex with the positive opk because it can take up to 4 hours for a surge to show in your wee, that could have come on just after you went to sleep the night before, AND the egg's lifesoan is woefully short...so if you had an 8 hour sleep that's already 12 hours gone and it can take a few hours for sperm to find the egg. So it's safest to keep yourself supplied with sperm just in case! (Having said all that I did twice get pg after dtd only once and only on the day of the positive opk!)

Wow, that was longwinded of me!

I'm 8 dpo here. I tested, and of course it's a bfn. I read though that there was a 30% chance of it showing as a positive today so of course I gave it a go. I'll pretty much be testing daily now until AF comes. Try as I might to symptom spot though I don't have any. On the upside I also don't have pms yet (which for me is a massive spot and mood swings with increasingly high temp).
