Hello ladies! So we're currently trying for baby #2. Came off implant in december. AF showed 1st February then again 30th March. My friend suggested the app Flo. According to the app if im regular i should have ovulated around 12th. We DTD every other day from AF finishing. Now im having mild cramps in lower belly. (I think its in my head though!) Just got to enjoy the 2ww (yayy)
Anyone else ttc and their brain finding symptoms everywhere?

@stuckinthehouse yes I did and got a bfn. AF still not here though.... have zero symptoms now. Frustrating!

stuckinthehouse · 22/04/2017 13:59

Faye how frustrating. Maybe try again in a couple of days if af still hasn't arrived?

Sanchezwasntdirty · 22/04/2017 14:17

Keeping everything crossed for you pocket! AF is a miserable old goat hope she stays away for all! X

pocketfullofsunshine · 22/04/2017 20:02

I hope you don't mind me joining this thread! I'm 10 DPO today, my cycles are around 35 days! Long!! I have a test in the bathroom but boyfriend won't let me test yet as it's too soon.. I am trying for number 2 also. I didn't try for number 1 so I'm new to the whole TWW and Symptom spotting. I have quite bad cramps, mainly on the right hand side of my belly button I was in quite a lot of pain with it yesterday. My boobs feel more sensitive than usual but I am still breastfeeding so I can't measure that accurately. My lower back is starting to ache. My legs have started to go really restless at night which is what happened the first time and I am weeing more often than normal. I use the OVIA app to track my ovulation and periods, this month is the 2nd month of trying and I am not yet tracking BBT or using OPKs. I am estimated to have ovulated on the 13th of April and my period is due on the 26th. Fertile window: 9-14th and I had sex three times during my fertile window which was on the 9th,11th and 14th.

Hope we all get out BFPs soon! xx

Jellybelly91 · 23/04/2017 10:37

No AF yet! I only have 1 test left and a fiver in my bank til friday...resistung the urge to use it in case she shows her face later today lol

pocketfullofsunshine · 23/04/2017 11:54

Hi youngmummy welcome to 2 weeks of fighting the urge to test hehe. You're my ovulation buddy! I ovulated around the 12th according to my app, but we DTD every other day since AF ended like always. Didn't want to check BBT or use opk's and over complicate it. I'm defo considering it for next cycle as I'm not hopeful for this one haha.
I had cramps around 4dpo until around 8dpo and now nothing. So just waiting 4 more days. Tested twice currently and got BFN as I'd have expected.

@Jelly when are you due AF my lovely? if you're due today see if you can hold on until tomorrow, if not I think it would come up with BFP if you tested today.

youngmummy3105 · 23/04/2017 12:04

I've not tested yet as I'm fighting the urge and I have 4 days till AF is supposed to arrive so getting quite impatient now lol

youngmummy3105 · 23/04/2017 12:16

Also my little girl is wanting to constantly feed lately and she is 10 months, usually only feeds 2-3 times a day. Could this be due to more milk being produced or just from her having a clingy stage?

Jellybelly91 · 23/04/2017 12:24

Due af today :) trying my hardest not to test lol

pocketfullofsunshine · 23/04/2017 13:07

@youngmummy im due AF in 4 days too. So stressful but think im out. Tested on an opk and got the faint line on that and a BFN on a hpt. So think im having a lh surge before AF so ill be on the may bus :(

@jelly ooo test tomorrow first thing.. excited for you hun

Aww pocket I'm hoping for a BFP but I don't think it's going to happen! X

stuckinthehouse · 23/04/2017 15:55

I'm after some advice about when to test. Not entirely sure when af is due as only had a couple of cycles since coming off the pill.
Cycle 1 was 28 days
Cycle 2 was 25 days

I'm now in cycle 3 and on day 30. No sign of af and no symptoms so far. I have a couple of tests but don't want to waste them as I don't mind waiting. When do you think I could test and be sure of an accurate result?

CatRen27 · 23/04/2017 16:05

Sorry for the radio silence, celebrated my daughter's 2nd birthday this weekend.

My news is that I had a twinge in my right side today followed by light spotting so it's either implantation (please!) or the dreaded af. I'm 10 dpo and af due on Wednesday. Should I wait to test? I'm so tempted but don't want to be disappointed.

Hope everyone's feeling good, not long to wait until we all know one way or the other. Baby dust to all xx

CatRen27 · 23/04/2017 16:07

@stuckinthehouse
If you are already on day 30 you could surely test on one of the sensitive ones? Not the digital one's but the first response or cheapo sticks? Could just be your cycle settling itself but fingers crossed for you

pocketfullofsunshine · 23/04/2017 16:39

Hey ladies, from my personal opinion id wait to test.
Im 11dpo, and have been getting BFNs. I used an opk today an got a faint test line. I tested on an opk 2 days ago and there was no test line. So looks like im having a lh surge before AF thats due in 4 days :(
So looks like im out x

I cracked this morning, tested and got a bfn Angry

Sanchezwasntdirty · 24/04/2017 09:44

AF is here! So disappointed how's everyone's ttc quest going today? X

CatRen27 · 24/04/2017 10:34

Brown spotting today so still not sure if it's af or what -usually stays pink/red until end of period (sorry tmi!)

@Sanchez sorry to hear you're out this month, hope you're okay xx

pocketfullofsunshine · 24/04/2017 11:13

@sanchez im sorry you're out hun. Will probably see you on the may bus.

@stuck oh dear. How many dpo again? Could it be youve tested too early?

I did a test this morning and an opk. The opk looked a little bit darker (putting that down to lh surge) and there was the faintest line. And i mean faintest as in squint really hard to see it. I think it was an evap though or im seeing it because i want to see it.
Cant see it anymore though i dont think lol

Hi ladies. I'm new here and still trying to get the hang of things. I am currently on my 3rd cycle since my miscarriage in February. I experienced cramping on cycle day 22 followed by very light brown spotting when wiping on cycle day 23 and 24. I am now 3 days away from af. TWW definitely sucks!! X

stuckinthehouse · 24/04/2017 12:39

I've not got a clue when my ov date is as I've only recently come off the pill. I'm on cd31 now. Previous cycles have been 28 days then 25 days. Still no sign of af but am feeling a bit crampy and am in a foul mood today.
I really thought I'd get a bfp this morning as yesterday had some symptoms (very lathargic, very thirsty, dinner made me feel a bit bleugh)

youngmummy3105 · 24/04/2017 20:11

I've just wiped and I have brown spitting/discharge on the tissue. Could this be AF starting or implantation? Isn't it too late for implantation as I'm 11 dpo today and AF is due on Thursday? X

CatRen27 · 24/04/2017 20:41

@youngmummy I think you can implant up to 12 days post ov and it might have been a few days ago if it's brown (i.e. not fresh so took a little while to come out). So not impossible! Fingers crossed.

I think I'll be on the May bus as I did a frer test and was bfn. I'm also 11dpo so think it should show up by now right?

youngmummy3105 · 24/04/2017 20:52

I don't know if 11 dpo is too early. I think it depends on the individual tbh. I'm trying not to test till OVIA tells me to which is in 2 days. Surely if it is implantation testing 2 days after wouldn't show up would it?x
