Whoops! That should say so want a BFP!!

ladyflower23 · 03/06/2014 14:30

Hi newbie. Ooh there's quite a few of us on here on cycle 2 of ttc#2. Good luck to you. I'm really bored waiting already and still over a week till AF due. Can't wait for people to start testing!!

Karmanna13 · 03/06/2014 14:41

Thanks birdtable. Yes it was quite stressful but it's a couple of years ago now so it's getting better. And I have heard lots of "one-tubers" with success stories so I am determined to stay positive! :)

CatRen, I have quite regular cycles so I normally test on CD10 and get a negative, then a borderline on CD11, and a positive on CD12 (which was yesterday) so I try and DTD from CD10 and then every other day for about a week. When we ttc DS I had no clue about this and we were at it non stop for about 9 months - exhausting! So much easier to be able to pinpoint it! :)

Karmanna13 · 03/06/2014 14:42

Oh, and welcome Newbie! I was lurking on the 2ww thread last month - fx for this cycle! :)

CatRen27 · 03/06/2014 14:48

Thanks Karmanna that's really helpful! I've got an OPK winging its way to me in the post. Also can't wait until we all start testing!

zoobaby · 03/06/2014 21:20

For all those holding themselves back from the pharmacy for fear of poas, did you know you can get cheap ones from Amazon?

Been cramping today so I fluctuate between thinking this has never happened before to of course it must have happened before you numpty, you're just conveniently forgetting.

zoobaby · 03/06/2014 21:25

I'm the opposite Cat... I refuse to buy myself OPK as convincing myself that I won't need it.

zoobaby · 03/06/2014 21:45

Just saw a little diagram about the 2ww which answers Emma's earlier question.

ladyflower23 · 03/06/2014 22:24

Thanks for diagram solvent that was really interesting. Was excited to see what stage I could potentially be at. Shame the little things can't travel a bit faster Smile

ladyflower23 · 03/06/2014 22:24

That was meant to say zoobaby not solvent!

pinpan · 04/06/2014 00:32

Good diagram! And yes, it's just cruel that we have to wait so long. I WILL not test before 20th. I WILL not test before 20th. Hmm Actually, might wait til 21st (if I can), I have a work thing on the 20th and I'd rather still be in suspense than either down in the dumps or away with the fairies (depending on results). Argh, too long. Come on somebody, fall off the wagon and do some POASing for me. Grin

Emma1109 · 04/06/2014 07:57

Aww thanks for that wee diagram zoobaby. It kind of makes sense a bit better. This is all very new to me. I'm a wee bit gutted though I thought there was maybe a wee chance of implantation bleeding 2/3 days after ov. Know I shouldn't get my hopes up but can't help it s2bdh has been super broody for a good year and I've been putting it off because of the wedding. I honestly don't think I can wait til 14th or 15th ?? seriously how perfect would it be to be able to tell him BFP on Father's Day?!

ladyflower23 · 04/06/2014 08:10

Maybe you ov'd earlier than you thought you did Emma, or maybe you are a really fast implanter! I think I've heard that it's rare, but possible at 3dpo.
I randomly had some more EWCM last night! I pounced on DH just in case, but really hope I did ov at the weekend, otherwise the interminable 2ww is starting again for me. Agh!

RedBunny · 04/06/2014 09:26

Can I join in too? I'm obsessively symptom spotting and feel so silly for doing it! I've had two miscarriages since been ttc no2. This is my third 2ww since last mc and I'm already getting fed up of them! It's so hard to stop from testing all the time! I believe today is 7dpo. I think I shall try test at the weekend with frer. I usually don't get positives til 12dpo though... Too impatient I guess.

CatRen27 · 04/06/2014 09:55

This is like POAS-Anonymous - we must support each other not to test too early and be disappointed! Spotting symptoms all over the shop. Husband abroad with work at the moment so no one to share it with but you guys!

CatRen27 · 04/06/2014 10:01

(sorry to hear about the miscarriages RedBunny - hope things look up soon)

pinpan · 04/06/2014 10:31

Welcome RedBunny. FX that number 2 comes along soon.

CatRen - POAS Anonymous, love it! I was trying to think of a name for the support group too, and that's perfect. "My name is pinpan, and it's been at least 4 days since I POAS. This month I first wanted to POAS about 5 minutes after DTD when at best fertilization might occur in the following 24 hours. (I didn't, btw.)" Grin

blankfornames · 04/06/2014 11:21

I'm cracking up!! CatRen27, Like you yesterday, I woke up a stonking headache this morning. I also had an epic headrush which nearly took the feel from out under me which clearly doesn't mean anything!

So AF is due to rock into town for me on the 12th... Who is due to POAS that day.. and who is tempted to break the rules and going to POAS before D day?!!

RedBunny · 04/06/2014 12:27

I believe AF is due the 11th but my cycles go a couple of days either way, however that will be 14 days since ovulation. I totally lost my willpower and ordered some of the cheap pregnancy test strips and also a pack of two first response..... So I figure I actually will start testing as soon as these strips arrive! I hope everyone gets their BFPs! I'm so so so keen for one, I imagine how everyone else must feel that has been trying longer!!

RedBunny · 04/06/2014 12:29

Though I did agree with my husband to calm down on the pregnancy tests this time. I think I may have accidentally lied to him about that. The closer I get to AF the harder it is to resist testing.

teejayem · 04/06/2014 12:32

I feel like I'm cheating on the other thread I'm posting in, but I just wanted to drop in and get an opinion!
Came off Pill in March and had first 'Normal' AF May 12th. Picked up a CB digital OPK and POAS on the 29th May to test it - came back with a blank face. My Ovia App gave me from then as my fertile window, and then when I tried it again the following day, I got a Flashing face, which I thought was odd as I had (what I think) were ov pains in my left side and felt a bit 'damp' - although no ewcm to speak of. Obviously we DtD throughout, so if something happened then I'm in with a chance, but then I tried it on Monday night, and got a solid face! And I thought I'd already OV'd?! I did have a little bit of cramping on the other side this time, and again, we DtD each day, but I'm a bit confused, has anyone had a solid face after oving?!

RedBunny · 04/06/2014 12:37

I have never used the digital ones only the regular two line clearblue ovulation tests so not certain how they work. Do you think maybe you were going to ovulate which is why it felt like it but then didn't actually until the Monday? I've heard that can happen to some people.

teejayem · 04/06/2014 17:28

I'm not sure, really wanted to establish a good idea of cycle, but my app, the clearblue and body seem to be all telling each other different things! I'm pretty certain something happened at the weekend, but who knows! Think I might try the OPK again tomorrow, as once you get to peak Fertility, it locks you out for two days. Other than that, I'll just keep doing lots and lots of BDing!!

ladyflower23 · 04/06/2014 18:21

Hi RedBunny and teejayem.
Well, like Redbunny said, perhaps you were gearing up to ov and then didn't and now have. When is AF due? Some women get another surge after ov just before AF...or positive OPK can mean you are preg(!) but I think that only shows after you would get a positive HPT.
I am having my own ovulation dilemma as had cramps and stretchy (though not clear) dc last Thurs so thought I was ov, but am now getting clear and slippery, but not very stretchy dc, so now wondering if I didn't, but am now!!! Also normally would have PMT by now (I get it for a week and a half before AF) but nothing, so don't know what's going on. Don't have any OPKs to pee on either. I'm defo getting them next month though, the uncertainty is doing my head in and I want a break from DTD!!

Birdtable · 04/06/2014 20:27

Hello to all the new arrivals! I am driving myself mad with this wait! I am getting confused about ewcm etc so just trying to dtd still even though my opk said I ovulated last week! But don't want to miss any chances! Thanks Zoobaby for the diagram!
Anyone given in and poas?? Grin
