@Polly85 sounds like implantation bleeding!
Hope you get a BFP!!!

And ohhh @UnicornsandRainbows1 that sucks!!! Hate it when the body tricks you!!! I hope next month you manage to conceive!!

I think I ovulate early!! AF Finished on 10th August, and usually you ovulate around 14 days after finishing af...I'm 7 days after AF and I have some serious EWCM!! Sorry if tmi but there's soooo much of it!! Is that possible to ovulate early?
Because if that's the case then me and DH missed it last month as we didn't DTD until 9 or so days after af finished!

Polly85 · 18/08/2017 08:58

Can you see what I am seeing? DH and I are shell shocked, because I was so sure that AF was here when I had that bleed. Shock

Looks like a bfp to me @Polly85
Congratulations x

ladydolly · 18/08/2017 09:28

Yes polly!!!! Amazing news!! Another one for the lucky bus :)

Charchar23 · 18/08/2017 09:46

Looks like a BFP @Polly85!!! Congratulations!!! Yayyyyy

HolyShmoly · 18/08/2017 14:42

Amazing Polly, that's one heck of a strong line!

Ovulation should have happened yesterday or today for me but I haven't felt the usual pain. Hopefully it came during the night that I didn't notice it. Going to keep dtd until Tuesday when we go on holidays, but staying with relatives so won't get much chance to carry on. I think I've nearly worn DH out!
Any top tips for what to do during the 2ww? Warm socks and warm food and plenty of water... what else?

Loosemoose28 · 18/08/2017 16:45

Ah congratulations Polly.

Try not to freak at any more bleeding. Just incase you are like me.Ive had all sorts of colours on wiping this week and my HCG is 2000+ skmething so all good.

Polly85 · 18/08/2017 17:59

Thanks everybody! Grin over the moon. Went out to get a FRER to double check. Going to wait another couple of days to do the digital. Good luck to you all xxx

Polly85 · 18/08/2017 18:00

@Loosemoose28 thanks, good advice. I am a bit of a worrier (read: nervous wreck) so that is really good to know xxx

Charchar23 · 20/08/2017 19:31

So according to my app its ovulation day!! I don't trust it so have DTD 11th, 12th, 14th, 17th and 19th! Better to be sure!
The last few days before today Iv had verysore nipples (sorry tmi), EWCM, cramps and nausea so thinking that I definitely already ovulated as the EWCM isn't as much as it was during those days, but still got some cramping, slight nausea and sore nipples! So hopefully I got the timing right of trying!
Just been on amazon and ordered 12 pregnancy tests!! £6.99 for a pack of 6!!! And only 5 star reviews on them! Woohoo!
Also ordered moontime fertility tea! Quite expensive at £15 for a bag of 30 tea bags but all good reviews on them! Apparently suppose to regulate cycles and improve fertility, a lot of people have conceived after drinking the tea several times a day!
Anyone tried the tea?

BiscayTrafalgarFitzroy · 22/08/2017 11:31

So I am now 8dpo TTC cycle 1. I promised myself I wouldn't be symptom checking and yet it's all I have done. Arghh. No implantation symptoms as yet although I have gone off alcohol and I do normally love alcohol! Also my broodiness has gone through the roof. Obviously I was before TTC but over the past week it's amped up a level. Probably just wishful thinking. AF due 28th Aug....

Californiadreaming15 · 22/08/2017 13:48

So after deciding to not pay attention to temping or ovulation sticks and not thinking about when to test etc this cycle I thought I would buy a test from Morrisons whilst doing the food shop. In the past I have been POAS almost every time I pee.

Well this has just happened!

I'm currently 11dpo (had to check) and AF would have been due on Friday.

Sorry forgot to attach

BiscayTrafalgarFitzroy · 22/08/2017 13:53

Congratulations California. That's brilliant! Smile

Californiadreaming15 · 22/08/2017 18:34

Thank you. Also to add, we started using Preseed for the first time this month as well.

intelligentPutty · 22/08/2017 20:10

Congratulations @Californiadreaming15

ladydolly · 23/08/2017 14:43

Congrats california!

So with no symptoms (other than a foul mood at the weekend) and no warning AF arrived this afternoon so that's good, will be nearly done by hols this weekend. Hadn't got my hopes up this month so that makes it easier. I'm off to the September bus, hope to not see any of you there!

Charchar23 · 23/08/2017 22:15

Awww congrats @california!
And ohhhh no @ladydolly!!! I hope you get your BFP next month!!!
So I'm now 3-4dpo....emotional, and very clumsy! And I have to say I'm not a clumsy person like I have been!
Getting stressed and upset a lot more the last day or two!!!

Firework83 · 26/08/2017 12:11

For anyone still on this thread, I got a faint BFP just now at 12dpo. TTC 1, cycle 3.

Typically this month my OH and I didn't BD as much and I didn't temp or do OPK's!

Just hope it sticks now... will test again in the morning and try and keep myself distracted.

Yay!

Charchar23 · 26/08/2017 16:46

Awww congratulations @Firework83!!!!
I'm hoping to get my BFP this month....did you get any symptoms prior to your BFP? As I'm between 5-7 dpo (not 100% on when ovulation took place,however BD a lot as soon as af finished) not suffering much In way of symptoms, I craved McDonald's burger patties yesterday evening and earlier today, not the buns or anything, just the patties! And Iv been soooo clumsy with everything!! Originally thought was stress from cakes I was doing (as my job) but haven't been stressed yesterday evening or today and I'm so so clumsy! Keep getting bloated a little nauseated last few days too!
Did you experience any of these symptoms?

Firework83 · 26/08/2017 17:13

Thank you @Charchar23... my symptoms were acne... I normally maybe get one spot around period but I just broke out. Also one severe episode of diarrhoea at 7dpo. After that I was just passing stools a lot. Finally over the last couple of days instead of cramps it almost felt like my uterus area was burning... maybe that's the tugging/stretching I don't know. Some vaginal itchiness also.

I noticed that my boobs weren't half as sore as normal which was strange. I didn't have any IP bleeding, don't have a lot of CM now. Goes to show how different everyone is.

Sending lots of luck to you. Just hope mine sticks now!!! xx

Charchar23 · 26/08/2017 22:08

Ohhh that's interesting to know @firework83
Like you said just shows how different everyone is!!
Ohh that's something else!! Usually I have an breakdout of spots around now!! But I had a breakout of spots from my last af but wouldn't go, and it's now cleared up! Which is odd!! Things are very strange!
I'm sure yours will stick!!!! So happy for you!!

Polliver · 30/08/2017 11:32

Massive congrats @Firework83 ! Flowers

Sontagsleere · 30/08/2017 13:23

Charchar23 I'm not on the thread but reading frantically trying to see what symptoms people are having! I did notice your comment on 17 August but I am sure you don't ovulate 14 days after AF it is 14 days after the first day of your period. Maybe it was just a typo on your part but I didn't want you to be missing it. Also you probably were ovulating at that time as the dates make sense. Hope it works out for you!
