TTC - First Time! (2)

[mrsjkerry]

Hi all. Reconvene here!

I've been really naughty and done a test! Even though I promised OH I wouldn't. I'm so annoyed the bloody thing didn't even work!!!! Ha teaches me for going behind his back 😔
Hope everyone's week is setting off to a good start - positive thoughts everyone

Clacton that's rubbish - what one did you use?

Morning girlies!
I've been recovering from the hen do (loved it and had an amazing time, just what I needed!) but I have certainly missed a lot on here lol 😂

Welcome to the newbies!

And I'm sorry Af got you right before your hols kitcat 😔

tuxie I'm excited to see what's happening with you! You're very late! My friend didn't have a home pg test positive for ages and she was pg. don't wanna get your hopes up but it does sound promising!

mrsjkerry and ttc when are you guys testing?

As for myself, I've got sore boobies from 5dpo (normal for me, I've discovered!) I'm due af on Thursday and I've no doubt it will arrive. Quite nice not symptom spotting or being tempted to pee on everything 😂😂

Hope everyone is good. I've got a day off work today and it's hammering down here so I'm still in bed, lovely!

misty glad you had a great weekend! sometimes I think it really helps to just chill the hell out and give yourself some fcuk it time!

Thanks for your positivity! I'm not sure what's going on 😞 I get a few AF type cramps then nothing. I don't think I'll bother testing until the end of the week if AF doesn't show. Any recommendations on tests that aren't FRER?

Hope you all have a good Monday - it's miserable here down south!

TBH all the tests I use are the Poundland sticks lol (pack of 3 for £1!) they pick up hcg in less than 20miU which is pretty accurate (any ones that pick it up in less than 30 are considered good although the FRER pick it up in 6miU so they do sound the best but they have mixed reviews)
But it can get expensive so I tend to buy the cheapies and then if I got a bfp, I'd then go and buy a more expensive one :) x

Oh really, might get my DH to pop into Poundland after work then! I feel so annoyed I literally pissed away £14 of tests haha. I always thought FRER were one of the best, perhaps not!

Thanks for the reccy x

I've never had a bfp of course so I don't actually know haha 😂 but I just think if you can save some pennies, may as well :)
I'm 11dpo today and feel really bored lol I just want this af out of the way now!x

I used a bog standard Morrisons but it looks for less than 15 so thought that was quite accurate?? Anyway, I think I pissed all over it in an early morning haze so may try again tomorrow by peeing in a cup.

I'm not sure where I'm up to in my cycle as didn't have a bleed after implant removal so I'm purely taking guesses from my body's reaction. I felt ovulation around 15th and 16th so hoping I caught it at the right time and testing now would be ok right?

So confusing all of this isn't it!

No makes sense - I couldn't bare spending another 10-20£!

Same here, I just want to knooooow. I'd rather my AF turn up or a test is positive. It's bloody horrible this limboland, much worse than I thought. I swear it just makes you so aware of how much you want it too!

Just be careful with the little sticks from Poundland/Asda. I got BFN off those when I was actually pregnant - I wouldn't trust again!

What would you recommend clacton?
I'm now 5 days late from my last cycle anyway, and I've had two negatives with FRER

Tuxie I've found it really difficult as they don't tend to tell you what mg they look for until you look at instructions. The Ones from Morrisons do look for 15mg which is quite low but they're the only ones I have used whilst TTC.
I'm going to try again tomorrow I think.....I'm driving myself a bit mental with thinking I am pregnant so need either AF or a positive result to sort me out. I'm so tired, boobs sore, only want spicy food as everything else smells disgusting to me.....but could just be my mind playing tricks!

I might give the £shop ones a go, and see how it goes.

A bit like you - I just want to know either way. I've not got many symptoms either way, boobs are different and vivid dreams, lesser of an appetite than normal but its just draining - fingers crossed you get a result tomorrow

Good luck tuxie! Let me know how you get on!

Well last period was 10-14 Feb and not seen anything since so fingers crossed it's settling down a bit 🤞past 3/4 days had sticky clear CM so been DTD as much as possible! Should I start the 2WW from today?? It's so hard trying not to get too excited!

I know I'm the same - need to stop getting ahead of myself n thinking everything is a sign!
What does 2WW mean?

Misty I'm not sure when to test as not 100% sure how many DPO I am, but AF's due on the 6th so will just see how I get on then! Glad you enjoyed the hen do, really jealous of your day off today - work has been awful and it's been hailing all day here - could have done with a day in bed myself .

Clacton 2WW is two week wait, the gap between ovulation and AF.

Really want DH to hurry up with his pre bonk shower, cos I want to order pizza. Romance

Polly 😂😂

Misty my AF is due Thursday too.. although not sure what is going on! Had quite a bit of ewcm today or what I think to be that, but I thought that was only when you're ovulating? So not sure🙈 this whole thing is so confusing! Sorry if it sounds stupid!

AF due Friday-Sunday! Exciting times. Back aches today...

Charl that doesn't sound stupid chick, I had ewcm for almost a whole week after I think I ovulated! It was almost every day! It seems to have stopped now though. So I had it til about 7/8dpo. I'm due thurs and nothing except sore boobies. Highly unlikely af going to be be late 😂 so I will be waiting excitedly for yours haha.
Ttc are you going to hold out til you're late to test?
And mrsjkerry I can't wait til your af doesn't show!!!!
Polly there's no such thing as romance in ttc I don't think 😂😂

Misty I think so! But saying that I do have a pack of FRER's along with a couple of packs of Asda tests that keep staring at me from the bathroom cabinet, so I might get tempted beforehand .

Polly there's definitely no such thing as romance where TTC is involved, it's alllll about the mechanics .

Can I ask a silly question. We dtd the day before and the day after I finished a 4 day bleed, it was only after that bleed I started opking about 10 days ago. I have been opking and only had very low or squinters on the strips, I feel tired, heavy boobs and sometimes nauseous and have a funny taste in my mouth. I'm going to test on Friday to be sure but what are the chances of conceiving around a bleed? I did come off the pill end of Dec do cycle is still setting down.
