TWW 🙈

[Julybug]

I'm due to ovulate anytime from today to Saturday and then af will be on the 8th! Anyone else at a similar stage and want to buddy up??

I think implantation can be anywhere between day 8-14 so maybe not out? If it's unusual spotting for you it could be another symptom?

I don't I now what's going on I'm cd 27 of a 30-32 day cycle, 8-9 dpo and had one little blob of bloody discharge last night and a few spots when I wipe today! I'm not sure whether I might coming oneself or what! No symptoms at all

Why do our bodies do this to us july? Despite all the symptoms I'm now convinced I'm not pg and I've had rare steak and a large glass wine for dinner to try and make myself feel better.

Congrats Whattheheck!! Amazing news. Have you tested again? If you are anything like me you'll have shares in First Response tests by now! Congrats. Definitely a line - it looks pink not grey? Yah!!!

MissDolly I feel exactly the same. I have now decided I am not pregnant and my hormones are just all over the place and mimicking pg symptoms. It is a relief in a way as it would be too soon to be pregnant again and it would do disastrous things to be career. I think I will test on Wednesday if no period by then and then just put the whole thought to bed. How are you feeling today??

It looks like lots of you are testing on Wedn or Tues so wishing you all lots and lots of luck! Come on babies!

Belle how are you? I got brown spotting two days before my BFP last time so you may still be lucky??

Hi hopefulKate, yes just done another one this morning and got a very faint line again but then on a digital I got a positive yes.
I still don't quite feel it's real yet and I don't know why! I guess it's very early days so trying not to get my hopes up too much.
I really hope all of you the bfps very soon that were all craving. It's such a horrid and stressful time! X

Morning All,

Great news about the digital positive whytheheck !

I feel awful this morning. So depressed about it. We haven't DTD since 19 June so really the fact I'm still getting negatives on highly sensitive tests, 14 days on from that, means I'm almost certainly out. My cycle is often irregular so I might not get AF for a while yet.
I have some FRER's due to arrive from Amazon today. I will test with FMU tomorrow morning and if that's still negative then I am 100% out I think.

Oh MissDolly I feel your pain. How are you feeling symptom wise? Don't lose hope yet.. there is also next month?

Whattheheck massive congrats! And thanks for your kind words re: the rest of us!

I did a Clearblue this morning - not with FMU - and it had a very faint line but in truth I am sure it is an evaporation line. I then did a digital about an hour later and it said Not Pregnant. I'll do one more test on Wednesday and then as I said, call it a day. It is amazing how much you can convince yourself you may be pregnant even when you know it is virtually impossible (as my boyfriend didn't come properly and I haven't had AF since giving birth)

Sigh.

Morning all!

Cycle 3
First time ttc
First time using OPK's

I had a positive OPK on Saturday, how do I know when I've ovulated? Just any time in the two days after? Guess I'm in my tww now, eek.
Haven't dtd enough this cycle. Husband wasn't well and we fell out about me talking about fertile windows, OPK's, loose boxers and pineapple too much 🤣🤣🤣
HOWEVER we dtd on positive OPK day and the day after. Might be lucky?
Going forward I will be coming on here rather than telling the husband I have reached the fertile window 🙄 Anyone else have this trouble with their men? NB he really wants children but hates being put under pressure (understandably). Good luck this cycle ladies xxx

Kate a faint line is still a line! I hope Wednesday's test is conclusive. It's just awful, all the not knowing.
Welcome Rosie! Ha! Your post did make me smile. I think it's quite common to become more invested in the baby-making process than our menfolk. Is pineapple a 'thing'? I've never heard of that. My husband is obsessed with the stuff! I think OPKs really help so fx this will be your month!
Still with the barbie-like sore boobs here and a bit 'emotional'. My oestrogen levels are clearly elevated for some random reason. Mother nature is being a bitch.

MissDolly - I think it is an evaporation line. I've been doing some googling and I've read loads of blogs from women saying the Clearblue tests are unreliable. I've been feeling increasingly disappointed this afternoon. We know we don't have long left when it comes to number 2 so if not this time, we would need to crack on, but my boyfriend really isn't keen to start trying this year. Anyway, how are you feeling??

Rosie welcome!! I know exactly what you mean re: men feeling the pressure. My boyfriend refused to talk about cervical mucus and ovulation when we were trying to conceive last time. He couldn't cope with the detail and the tiny windows of opportunity! Just talk to us all on here about weeing on sticks and temp rises and focus on being sexy and alluring for your hubby!

Yay for whytheheck! Hope some of that luck gets spread around :)
Kate hang in there til Wednesday x

I'm waiting for some first response tests from Amazon, maybe I've just been ridiculously hungry for no reason. I have absolutely managed to forget the early weeks of being pregnant with DD so perhaps just greedy!

Hi rosie, had the same trouble with DH trying for first baby, it's so easy to get totally swept up in all the complexities of peaks etc and this ends up being a bit of a turn off for the guys, it needs to feel a bit more spontaneous for them I think, just don't tell him and jump him when it's time keep things fun

Hi @Pieandmashed @HopefulKate1980 @MissDollyMix. 👋🏻

Thanks for your reassuring worlds 😘
Any updates with you all?
I am probably 2 days dpo and I have a dilemma. Night out tonight with work. Couple stop conception couldn't it?!

Hey Rosie I would go out and have 1. It's too early to do any harm. Unless you think it will really worry you, then don't do it!

I tested this morning. FRER and FMU and it was still a BFN. That's me. Officially out. To cap it off I've just found out that the chain has collapsed on the house we were supposed to be buying. Not my best day. Over to you guys now. Wishing you all lots of BFPs xx

I'm 10dpo approximately give it take a few days, due af anytime between now and Saturday, I'm cd 29 now and has have anything upto 32 dc so it's a waiting game! I have been having the lightest spotting in the world since Saturday! Literally one or two teeny tiny drops of red or brown when I wipe once or twice! I do t know whether to test Thursdays or wait it out till Sunday! I usually spotty when day before afbit it's usually really obviouse spotting and a lotmore then I've been getting the past 4 days! What would you all suggest??

Was my period! Only on month 3 of trying so I'm sure it will happen when the times right. my partner has a private sperm count booked as he has had an operation in the past an they said that could have affected fertility. Fingers crossed tho it's all good :) good luck to everyone hope you get the bfp's very soon! X

Missdolly sorry to hear that. I have everything crossed that it happens for you really soon.
Also sorry to hear about the house chain collapse, really not a good day for you :-(
Things will turn around for you really soon I'm sure x

Ah I'm sorry Belle2008. Your month is next. Hope your partner's test is OK. My boyfriend had to have the same and he was so nervous, but it was all fine, in fact, his swimmers were great!

MissDolly I'm so very sorry about the house, and of course about the BFN too. What a shitty day. Will you try again next month?

I'm out too. I did a FRER this morning and not even a smidge of a line. We had sex 10 days ago, no idea if I ovulated but even so, that counts me out. I am still getting symptoms but now think it's just AF. A very heavy horrible hormonal AF. I called my GP this morning and asked for a referral to have a scan so I can see what is going on, so fingers crossed I'll see what is happening in there.

Good luck to everyone else! Will keep looking for news!

xx

Oh that's a crappy run of BFNs. Sorry girls

Sorry to add to the list of bfns but I tested with a frer yesterday and got one . AF is due on Friday, so I guess there's still a bit of hope

12dpo CD 25 AF due today, no sign. Think I will test tomorrow. I only came off the pill April 29th so I don't know what's normal yet? No symptoms to shout about really. Confused.Com

I am going utterly mad - AF is due tomorrow and I am overanalysing body feelings to the point of distraction! I have some tests at home, but I promised myself I wouldn't try until at least Friday. How early is too early to test? (This is our first month of trying, so I am definitely over thinking it)

Good luck everyone else! May this month (or next month if you're out for this one) be the one for you.

muffin the early response tests say they can test up to 6 days before your period is due. However, to get the most accurate result, you're better off waiting until the day of AF, or the day after

Until AF arrives no one is out! Keep the faith girls!

Oh MissDollyMix that's rubbish! Sorry
Cramping again, now awaiting AF. I think maybe it's early as had my peak days early this month. I may be out too but as I already have a DD already, I'm in no rush. BFPs for the first timers would make me smile :)

I have gotten through a couple of tests but still early-ish. Down but not out!
