(Think) I ovulated on Sunday. DTD several times at the right times(I think!) so it’s just a case of waiting now... boy oh boy, I’m driving myself nuts!! DH has no idea when I ovulate(don’t think he wants to know as it puts the pressure on him) so I’m flying solo on the 2ww. Which is where you guys come in Grin
Anyone else in the same boat? Fancy talking each other down from THAT shelf in the supermarket??

Looking back now it doesn't look like I tried hard enough during my fertile days :( so pregnancy may not be as likely as others

Somethininthewater · 21/10/2017 17:42

It’s a complicated business, this baby making!!

Hmm now that I’ve added the day I ovulated to the calendar, it’s saying I’m 6 days away from being able to test. Tempted to do one tomorrow. Pretty sure it’ll be negative though as still early.
Anyone else testing(too soon) tomorrow?

So, saying I should test Friday. That’s sooooo far away!

I am testing Friday although it's seems like a lifetime away!! Are you going to hold out till then?

Somethininthewater · 22/10/2017 07:43

I highly doubt it!! I’m an addict. Need my fix don’t I. I’m so ashamed haha

lgh05 · 22/10/2017 08:10

I am silently addicted to the idea of it. Part of me thinks should I test Thursday that's only a 4 day wait!

Pebblesandblamblam · 22/10/2017 08:22

Gem173, please can I ask which calendar you are using? Is it an app? :-)

Somethininthewater · 22/10/2017 08:35

It’s called Ovia. It’s really good so far

How many dpo are you ladies?

lgh05 · 22/10/2017 09:08

I am 9 dpo but feel like I am 90dpo the wait is awful!

Gem173 · 22/10/2017 11:38

I'm also 9dpo but ovia says take test in 3 days. Took one of those one step today got bfn, I'm not sure I 00% trust the strips because they got mixed reviews. Might try a cheapy stick next time. My opks are still coming back faint so it's either gunna get darker on the next few days which is telling me my afs coming :/ we will see if it's darker tonight when I test with opk

lgh05 · 22/10/2017 12:16

@Gem173 I am
Not sure how the ovia app works, but how come it tells you to take a test in 3 days is that when your AF is due?

Gem173 · 22/10/2017 12:37

@igh05 Af is due in 4 days time, but think it's basically telling me to take one a day before for some reason.

Gem173 · 22/10/2017 12:38

My cycle could be one day out, two weeks after ov brings me to 27th not 26th so il change it now

Gem173 · 22/10/2017 12:41

I've changed it but still says to take test in 3 days lol think it's slightly broke 😂 Ah well, AF due 27th now. So got 4 days to wait.

lgh05 · 22/10/2017 12:48

Yeah AF is due 27th for me too! Still debating when to take a test. Do you think if you took a clear blue one or two days before and it gave you a BFP there is still a chance it could turn into a chemical pregnancy? When do we know the little bean is stuck?

Gem173 · 22/10/2017 13:04

@Igh05 tbh I think up until 12 weeks there's always chance of chemical or miscarriage but got to be careful and be healthy and not stress. As this is my first time of trying I have no idea what to do or expect. I have no idea if I'm pregnant because my symptoms are the same as pms symptoms. I will test prob two days early and go from there. But I don't expect anything to happen. I'm not gunna buy a CB till I have at least a faint line on another Cheap brand of tests.

Gem173 · 22/10/2017 13:07

Says online after 6-8 weeks of pregnancy miscarriage drops to 5% and then even less after 12 weeks. So don't think we are safe till 12 week mark

Somethininthewater · 22/10/2017 13:33

Don’t bother with Clearblue. First response are the best.
I think I’m 8dpo now

Gem173 · 22/10/2017 15:11

I got no symptoms whatsoever lol just feel normal. Come on body give me something that would make me think I'm pregnant! Lol

Hulaballoo · 22/10/2017 15:14

Snap @Gem173 ... 😥

Somethininthewater · 22/10/2017 15:14

this is getting daft now. I am the most impatient person! Wish I hadn’t teste this morning. Fool!!

OP posts:
Gem173 · 22/10/2017 15:19

Lol @Somethininthewater @Hulaballoo
I understand how you feel, I'm getting bored of testing and getting bfn, not to mention my first wee of the day is like 5am because that's the time I usually get up for work (hate getting up at 5 on weekend) trying to do housework but just want to sit down 😂

Gem173 · 22/10/2017 15:24

I keep reading ladies getting creamy cm and here I am with nothing :/ do you think that's a definite sign before BFP? Creamy cm?
