Oooh I'm a couple of days behind you then. Fx for both of us! I'll be waiting for your bfp soon!

PingusMistress · 08/02/2017 23:00

EMHW hang in there, I'm sure you will get your peak soon! Mine was CD18, way later than any other month when I've been tracking. I guess that means I have to wait even longer now before I can do a pg test Angry

Horrendous O pain last night, and DH has a rotten cold so that's us done for this FW!

And so it begins... again

Hi ladies. Quick question. I had a positive ovulation test on monday evening yet my temp hasnt risen. Could it be a failed ovulation/no egg? Or simply because im sleeping in less clothes so not keeping the heat in? I had definite pains in my left ovary area yesterday midday.

gruffalohoh · 09/02/2017 09:34

Hey all, congratulations for BFPs and commiserations for those that with AF

Ohb0llocks you are amazing with your early POAS! You are a day ahead of me so I am going to wait until you get your BFP before I start to test.

Having a major wobble here now that I am in the 2ww (around 7dpo). Having some symptoms that may indicate a successful cycle but that has brought all my reservations to the forefront of my mind and made the possibility of having 3DC slightly terrifying. Arrggghhhh. This is the worst 2ww ever.

Ohb0llocks · 09/02/2017 09:38

Another BFN this morning! I can't help myself! Had some cramping last night though, had enough that it woke me up! Thought AF was early but nothing as yet.

Maybe I just need a poo though. Trying not to get my hopes up. DP is convinced that this is the month though!

Ohb0llocks · 09/02/2017 09:41

And gruffalo I agree, I have one DS who's 3 and a DSS who's 4, and the house is bloody crazy when they're both together!

Wed been discussing ttc for a while, then we had a last minute wobble and I went for the MAP but DP came into the room like some kind of fertilisation hero and we decided to carry on trying Grin that was in Nov, nothing yet!

DS wasn't planned. And neither was DSS! Which makes it all the more frustrating when you're actually trying!

Lovechild2016 · 09/02/2017 09:58

ohbollocks don't feel bad about the poas, I am a self confessed poas-er essentially from ovulation onwards and nada until 10/11dpo and even then it was so faint I could easily have dismissed it as BFN.

Ohb0llocks · 09/02/2017 10:13

It's like an addiction!

Ohb0llocks · 09/02/2017 15:52

Really bad cramps today. Hoping it's not AF on the way.

DebsandScott · 09/02/2017 17:45

Hi all, first time on here and second month TTC. AF due on 17th but been feeling awful last few days, stomach cramps, upset belly and fatigue. Not sure in how many DPOs as just using rough guess and BDing regularly!! So hard not testing!!

MrsC1982 · 09/02/2017 18:02

I love a good POAS addict Ohb0llocks, I'm guessing I'm now 1DPO so I fully expect by 5 I will be POASing away and be full of imaginary symptoms!

Grin
88claire · 09/02/2017 19:03

Ohbollocks

Cramps and spotting here too. Only 5/6 dpo so not sure what that's about. Cramps were quite sore felt as bad as period pains. Who knows!

Ohb0llocks · 09/02/2017 19:15

Mine seem to be coming and going have been since yesterday.

I'm so bloody impatient though. Either give me a bfp or a period!

DebsandScott · 09/02/2017 19:26

I keeping hoping for spotting but none so far but stomach pains definitely feel like af yet I'm very regular so can't be that as another 8 days until due. I seriously hate the TWW!!

Anna2006 · 09/02/2017 19:29

onenature I think usually your temp raises day after ovulation or can even be two days after so may still be to come.

Mines odd this cycle and I think I ovulated really late or not at all. So think I'm about 6DPO if I did ovulate I should know more as my cycle goes on an my temp stays high.

I've had weird twinges all today. It's more like at the side where my ovaries are though

Ohb0llocks · 09/02/2017 19:42

How do you temp? Do you literally just take your temp each morning?

Motherhippy16 · 09/02/2017 21:11

Hi all. I'm supposed to be ending fw today but tbh I have no idea now. Cm has def turned from ew to more watery so can judge by that basis. Just going to dtd regularly and feel positive and happy. Just to give us hope my friend is 11 weeks now after 4 years of trying...were just about to start Ivf and began to have sex again for fun and they got pg! Fx for bfps for us all soon x

MistyBxx · 09/02/2017 23:03

Hey all, I've got a nice couple of stories too!
Talking to my bestie last night about ttc, she tried for 3 years for her dd (had one son age 6) and she tried everything, she honestly thought she was infertile after her son! So she gave up, went out over Christmas, drink loads, ate crap, smoked, partied and had sex with her hubby for fun and then ta daaa! Baby magic ❤️

Also, for all you symptom spotters out there... my pg friend had NO telltale symptoms except absolutely massive farts 😂😂😂 honest to god, she spent a fortnight just doing huge fluffs and wondering what the hell she had eaten before she missed her period and did a test! And she wasn't even trying either 😂

88claire · 10/02/2017 06:44

Good morning ladies!

So I am going cold turkey on the pregnancy tests. My OH said if I make another 8 days without testing or my period appearing he will get some first responses for me. Let's see if I can stick to my part of the deal!

Went out for dinner last night for an early valentines day after work. Which was nice. But there was THREE pregnant women on the table next to us. I was very good and Ignored them but they were sat there rubbing their bellies! Felt so sad!

Symptom spotting to the extreme still. Not sure there's any bribery that will stop me doing that!

How is everyone doing? It's Friday!! Smile

Carlotta82248 · 10/02/2017 07:09

10dpo, bfn, should be 12/40 and having a scan this week. 12 hour day working on maternity, not very jolly this morning Sad

88claire · 10/02/2017 07:13

Carlotta

I feel your pain! I'm on neonates today....

Chin up and have something nice to look forward to when you get home!

Somethingtotalkabout1982 · 10/02/2017 08:22

So today would be my predicted ovulation day but I don't feel like it's happened yet. Also bought some cheap ovulation tests from Poundland yesterday and only one line. Feeling rather despondent but will keep going. How does everyone else get on with OPK's? I think it would be very difficult to test twice a day when you have to not drink for at least 2 hours beforehand etc?!

Ohb0llocks · 10/02/2017 09:44

Bfn again today! 9dpo (I think)

I just want to bloody know!
