trying not to POAnymoreS before 29th!!

[Somethininthewater]

(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
Anyone else in the same boat? Fancy talking each other down from THAT shelf in the supermarket??

Actively trying I'm on cycle 4, but mmc Dec 16' and had a break. X

Wow, congratulations anyway, just looked at my bank, can't afford a frer until payday which is Friday!! How am I gunna wait that long??

I've just send DH out and he's spend £30 on test 😂 debating whether to use one in a few hours and hold a wee in even though it's afternoon and I am only 10dpo

@Igh05 with all the success happening that's what I want to do lol but then realised I got no money! X

Although I haven't had any implantation bleeding. I did bleed at 3dpo and had sharp pains but doubt that's implantation as it would have been too early. I've just got dull aches everywhere especially my back.

It's such a pricy little game all this testing! I am going to take one in a few hours just to get a fix, it's the afternoon and I've weed loads today so I am not expecting anything at all. Can anyone clarify for me how many days before my period I am. AF is due Friday so does that mean today I am 4 days or 5 days before period. I've just read on the clear blue box that the result are 98% accurate 4 days before (1st wee in the morning) so I quite fancy those odds so may test with the clear blue tomorrow and stick with my cheap Superdrug ones before then. Also what's an Evap line and how do I stop it?

@Gem173 First official cycle. Last cycle we decided to go for it but it was a day after positive OPK, so didn’t have much hope anyway. Just hoping it’s going to stick and get stronger....

@lgh05 don’t waste your money on a clear blue before you’re due. Go and get yourself a FRER, they show so much earlier.

@Peanutty86 I hope so too for you :)

Agree about clear blue. Waste of money. So many dodgy ‘positives’ in the past for me. You end up buying a frer anyway!

@Igh05 I think we are 4 days before period

F* it I'm gunna wait till af is due :) guys you can tell me off if I succumb to the pressure of poas!! Lol not long to go and il find out x

So is it worth returning the clear blue, or use for reassurance when I may need it between BFP and scans? And what is the test people recommend first response? Not Superdrug test? Read so much conflicting things. X

Yeah get a first response early response. I've heard very positive things about it !

@Gem173 you are doing really well waiting I just took one after about 5 weeks already today- totally pointless and got a bfn not sure what I was expecting really!

@Igh05 well it's my first cycle ever so I don't really want to be that disappointed. Ive never had any symptoms like I got now however I started the pill two years ago so I can't even remember what symptoms of pms I had. It's weird it's like has my body always been in this much pain!? Haha I dunno had a talk with my partner and he's got annoyed that I'm spending too much money and have been told to rein it in and wait a till afs due, so got to do as the boss says (maybe do some in secret ;) ) I'm quite patient I guess because I came off pill a month ago and I know that it can take a few months so I doubt it I'm pregnant this month. Would be very happy if I was. But won't be too disappointed if not.

5 wee's today *

Yeah it's my first cycle for this this baby, with my daughter it happened straight away we decided that day we wanted to try and I know I got pregnant that night (was just luck that it happened to be when I was ovulating) so our plan is if I get a bfn this month then we leave till December as we would like to avoid august if poss,

@lgh05 I would keep it but wait for a few days until AF was due. I’ll only do mine when all the ICs show positive and the line on the FRER is so strong the I know it will be positive and I will actually see the word pregnant. More for husband than for me....

@Igh05 why would you like to avoid August? I don't really mind when I am in labor. We just taking it day by day. Probably will end up month by month haha your lucky to have conceived your daughter so quick! Must have been so happy finding out your pregnant like 2 weeks later!

Yeah I didn't realise how amazing having a child would be so In a way I just got on with it and then tested a day or two before my period I wasn't fretting like this time during the 2ww! She is nearly 4 now and feel ready to start it all again! I got a clear blue early detection test it was on offer in Superdrug £9 for 2 I think, says it's 97% accurate 4 days before but who knows. May just try one of them tomorrow morning, or maybe do a cheap one first. My husband is a deputy head teacher, and although I am a summer baby (June) for us we would if possible like to avoid August as we think it would be bad timing just before my little girl starts school and his summer holidays would be nearly over. A July baby would mean we get the time off as a 4 over the summer to get used to life and adjust and then my daughter starts school in the September so it will feel a softer transition. So if we try again in December we will have a September baby, so the pros of that for us are just the fact that the little ones get a head start really (academically), my daughter is November and she looks miles older than all the cute little summer babies. They are just our reasons and some will disagree being selective over birth month, if we are still trying in a year I won't care when the baby is born but at the moment feel we have a little bit of freedom with our loose planning. X

Sounds good to me :) everyone has different plans or none at all haha let's hope we get our BFP soon!

Everytime I go on here, our chat goes further and further down the list, let's try keep it active ! I still want to stay in contact and know how your TTC is going!

I know! I’m living our chats! Another IC for me in the morning. Keeps me ‘sane’... I think?!
