Figured I'd start this up before we completely fill the other without a link.

@Aph413 I'm 13dpo Sunday too (and also tested both yesterday and today getting BFN) I went to bed last night thinking no way I'll test tomorrow it's too late early.... woke up and thought I'd do it anyway! At least their only the ic ones...

This ttc confusing business

Woke up with a headache
Which made me feel sick
Then when I went to the loo there was a lot if ewcm more clear than sticky kinda thing

Either 7dpo or 5dpo 🤔
And yes like a mad woman I've been poas
And of course bfn lol
But they are only ic and they came with my opks

My 25 ic better be here tomorrow lol

Temp has risen by 0.6 but another faint positive on the OPK more excited about ovulating Christmas eve than i am about Christmas all together

Praise 🤣

Feel like my headache is coming back 😔

Been drinking plenty to keep it at bay
Had some paracetamol and due again soon

Congratulations to all the ladies with BFPs! I'm thinking about testing tomorrow at around 11dpo...is that too early? My cycles are only 26 days. I don't have high hopes for this month so I'm trying to time it so I'm not too disappointed over xmas but so it's late enough to be a result I believe!! Tricky.

Hello, am new to this and been TTC for three months, only just started looking at these threads and working out what all the abbreviations mean. Is there a guide anywhere? Can work out some of them. Any advice? My cycles seem to vary from 28-32 days and no idea when I am ovulating so I have bought ovulation kit with the sticks. My AF (have worked out AF) arrived on 5 DEC and have tested with ovulation test since day ten but so far they all say negative. Trying to have sex as much as possible but how do you know ifyou are ovulating if no symptoms?

Also do you recommend any of the fertility apps in particular? Thank you

Feeling a lot more chilled now that I think I'm out for the month (although I'm technically not until the red lady flows, as someone else said on here!)

CD41 with no signs of af & no pregnancy indicators, as well as bfn this morning. Which I did just because it's our Xmas meal/drinks tonight & I wanted to make sure it was OK to have a few cocktails.

https://www.mumsnet.com/info/acronyms try this @Roobles79 and welcome

Thank you! Makes more sense now lol. Does anyone recommend a good app to track cycles and fertility? X

I've got fertility friend and Flo . They're both alright @Roobles79

@Roobles79 I use Ovia and used that when ttc #1

I use Glow Fertility tracker

AF arrived bang on time today so I'm off to January bus. Hope I don't see any of you there!! Good luck!

Super exhausted today yet insomnia is keeping me awake. Also still got the stomach cramps and pains so something is happening not sure what though

@Roobles79 I use Ovia, Flo and Clue. Ovia seems to be the most accurate for me but I’m not convinced any of them give the correct FW

I’m feeling really anxious today... I’m on cycle day 36 and no AF yet although I’m convinced it’s on the way. 36 days is the longest my cycle has been since coming off the pill in July.

Thanks to my insomnia ive been awake a solid 19hrs so my OPK was negative and i couldn't do a BBT taking today going to try another opk later with FMU after a long nap and try a BBT

Eurgh I took a cheap stick test yesterday which after a couple
Minutes showed a possible second line.

I couldn't make it to supermarket for a FR so used a cheapo strip test this am and not convinced I saw anything.

Going to feel so stupid if I got my hopes up over nothing.

Think I need to wait two / three days before testing again. But it's so hard to wait

Convincing myself what I saw yesterday must have been evap or me loosing the plot

I've been using ovia

My ic have arrived this morning

Thank u for the app recommendations. I have set up ovia. Seems OK so far. Got a feint second line on two opks today cd16 hoping it will be a stronger line later and vwill then have to bd even though have no inclination to lol. Anyone else feel like it is a chore at times?? Feel mean

@lostmybaubles I remember when I was pregnant I had lots of ewcm in the 2 weeks wait. Xx

So today I’ve got lots of cramps. I could either be 1 DPO or 3 DPO. No reliable way to tell tbh as I didn’t get to do OPKs until eve of Tuesday and it was a debatable positive followed by 2 days of negatives. I think my OV was few days ago but either way we’ve covered all bases 😂

Just got to wait it out now... but these cramps are like period cramps. Also last night I woke up sweating. Actually like a hot flush! Threw the covers off I was so hot.

Just
It's calmed down now and thankfully the cramps have too which I'm hoping is good

Been getting headaches on and off
Which I don't normally get .

This waiting game is the hardest thing 😣

I'm now 8-9dpo and feeling really run down. I've got a sore throat and feel like I'm getting (another) cold.

I don't think I normally feel this way post ovulation but I no longer trust myself with symptom spotting.
