Tww starts tomorrow!

Anyone else?? Ovulation yesterday and today and been dtd lots!! Ttc #2 2cycle. Let's hope we get our bfp!!

lady I don't know how true this is but I read on another post that the reason you don't use FMU for OPK is that it's really concentrated, ie the total opposite of what you want for a HPT. So, your first wee of the day may still have some hromones left in it from last night... so it's possible you did ovulate and the hormones hung around until this morning and that's why the line was so dark?

I think also that they say the signs in your body (EWCM/pains etc) are a better indicator of exactly when you're ovulating rather than the OPK which indicates roughly when it's happening, so if you feel like you had the signs then you probably did.

Sorry to hear about the BFN red FX for 12 DPO. I think your 12 DPO will be my day to test next too... Sunday will be 4 days before AF due. However I've just been to the loo and noticed slightly off colour CM. I wouldn't go so far as to call it spotting but it wasn't pure white like normal so I fear AF may come early and remove the need for a test. Super depressing. I know it sounds dramatic but I was so hoping to be preg before my wedding.

In other news I've been freaked out recently because my wee has been fluoro yellow... just read that it could be the vits. Anyone else have neon wee on pregnacare??

Hi Sarah,
I could kiss you for mentioning the flouro pee! I've been downing so much water recently thinking that I was seriously dehydrated, but it's obviously the pregnacare!
Thanks for pointing that out!

haha always happy to share waaay too much info about my bodily functions I too was ready to go to the chemist for something to sort it out, the water wasn't working. Been taking them for months though, not sure why now suddenly I've gone neon?!

I'm out... AF just got me a week early. its not full flow yet but I am sure that's what it is as it's different to my usual spotting. fighting back the tears

good luck to the rest of you xxx

Sorry to hear an bout ur bfn's and af getting u sarah, that's pants. I have a question were any of u on the pill before u started ttc? And if so on ur 1st period off this pill, not this one when you come off the pill but the first true one after that if that makes sense was it v v light? Mine if defo blood and has been here for 3 days but is so light it only just marks a tampon (sorry for tmi) just wondered if other have the same?

Yeah I had that - all my periods since the pill (4 now) have been lighter and shorter than on it! more painful for the first day and slightly different symptoms but generally less hassle.

Sarah that sucks :-(

Learning lots on this forum, pink grapefruit juice? Will give that a go. First month of using conceive plus so fingers crossed it's worked and if it's worked for Red before it must be effective.

I'm 33 too, only been trying since May. Worth embellishing the truth with your GP as usually you have to try for 12mths before they will investigate I think. Four days in and no symptoms yet...

Thanks sarah that's great to hear, mrsr I like ur thinking re go sadly I can't as I went there to seek advice in April time about coming off pill so they know :-(. I hope this is my and everybody else's lucky month xx

So I went to the toilet and have started spotting.... Which I get a couple days before AF. So looks like AF is coming early? I'm most confused by that. I'm only 10dpo. What's going on??? I really just want my baby!!!
Sarah don't feel bad I'm really sad too!! It all just sucks! It's so unfair!

Red I totally feel your pain. was forced out with some of OHs boring friends last night who accidentally got preg with a boy then twins and she was in Amsterdam smoking god knows what and drunk and it just happened. so I did what every ttcer who jusy got AF does and got totally shit faced and cried to the husband about how generally unfair life is then cried all the way home in a taxi. am now awake at 5.30 with period pain and a hangover. have I ever mentioned ttc is crap??

Oh my gosh I am totally depressed about it today. All I wanted was two children and my husband already has that and I just can't have it. Two miscarriages and now going on to cycle 5 since. I've been trying ever since but now it's just not happening. His sons mother drank and did some drugs when she was pregnant. And she stopped taking the pill and didn't tell him because he didn't want to get married and stuff. I cannot believe how fucking unfair everything is.

Redbunny, and a virtual hug too. It's not fair, but don't give up yet. It can still happen, and we've all got all our fingers crossed for you that it does, and soon.

Hi all! I had pains in my left lower abdomen yesterday and had some blood tinged EWCM. Do you think that means I OV-ed yesterday? My OPK yesterday was still positive but a fainter line. The only thing that's confusing me is that my cervix was still firm and closed yesterday.

Thanks!

aah red sending you lots of love. it's so hard and I'm a total hypocrite in saying this but we do just have to stay positive.

I am hopeful that sometime karma will kick these people's butts and we will have the perfect family we deserve.

ttc would be so much easier if hormones weren't involved, I think half my problem today is basically pmt. I'm angry and resentful that OH wouldn't let me come off the pill when I wanted and then when he decided it was ok "didn't think it was important to mention" because I'd chosen a wedding dress and he assumed I wouldn't want to be preg in it so I wasted 6 months waiting for him to say yes then 3 month waiting for him to communicate the yes to me. so basically the entire duration of a pregnancy just waiting to get started.

Sorry Red I typed that last message on my phone and it hadn't updated the messages from last night. you will feel really frustrated and angry at times, that's totally normal as this is such a hormone fuelled process but don't give up hope, it WILL happen!!!

Thanks all. Terrys it does sound as if you ovulated. So that's good news right?! Are you going to pick a day to test or just wait and see if AF comes?

going to wait until the 20th Red it's my birthday on the 19th so I want to have a drink, in any case we haven't DTD very much this month (still practising trying not really trying yet!) so not expecting anything.

Hi all

So after saying I wouldn't symptom obsess I am! I have erupted in lots of small spots which is really unusual for me? Mainly on my face but a couple on my chest? I could do a FRER on Monday as AF is due on Sat but told myself I would wait till Fri to test but now I'm not sure? Thought anyone on these spots, do u reckon this might be the month???? Xx

Compromise and hold out til Wednesday! I dunno about the spots, I got more than usual for pre AF last month and it came to nothing, but it could be a sign. But I'm spotty this month too so I'm hoping you're right and it is a symptom. Fingers crossed!

I agree. I got more spots this time and figured it might mean something but today is the 12dpo and I got BFN so expecting the spotting to turn into AF soon. But I would wait longer to test even with the first response. They are really really sensitive but I think it will be too soon to be certain either way.
I just bought a clearblue fertility monitor on eBay but I think I might stop trying so hard. I don't know. It's just so hard to not be pregnant every month and think "what happened? I tried so hard. I did everything right" and it's making a real strain on my marriage. Though my husband and I agreed this morning that we will have three in the end so we can hopefully have the next two closer together. So that was nice. How is everyone else? How's Sarah? I hope you're not as upset as me!!

Where are you at now pinpan?

I'm around 7 dpo, give or take a day or two. CD17 anyway, and AF due sometime around Monday week. Might not manage to hold out til the pee party on Friday 18th, but will defo go til the Wednesday at least. Am well tired, but that is probably to do with non-sleeping DD and generally hectic life at the moment!

Three, RedBunny, what fun! Maybe you can just have twins this time round. I have to say, I think twins would break me, it would be seriously relentless! (There are some in my family and in DHs, but not too many of them...) I would totally have lots of them if I had ones that slept, but as it is, I think we'll stop at 2.

I'm still here red doing my best not to be upset but still feeling pretty rubbish. AF is being weird, just when I think it's getting going and I get some bright red it stops and goes back to brown. need it to just hurry the hell up as my nipples are so sore I could cry!

entirely understand about the strain on the relationship too, it's affecting us too and we are getting married in a few days so really not what we need but you're right it's just so hard month after month.

Thanks sensible ladies, I got a BFP last 2 times at 6 days before AF was due which is why I'm tempted but I'm also scared I'll get another BFN and get depressed, arrgghhhh nightmare this waiting game :( sorry to those whose AF has turned up, hopefully next month! Xx

Sorry you all seem to be feeling so rubbish, its so tough isn't it, and I'm only just starting on this journey. PMT def doesn't help. Newbie I've never had a BFP, really hope I can get pregnant, and there are no issues. This whole process is really tough - the waiting, the anxiety, etc.

I had the perfect set up in mind - boy first, then two girls, even sept births! - but actually I'd be grateful for anything at all, as long as it was healthy.

I'm only about 6dpo CD24 so got a long wait before I can start to think about poas. And no symptoms, good or bad! AF due anytime from 13th x
