Thanks @MissSophieB397 I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

Congratulations to the BFPs today!! What a month for everyone! So excited for you all xx

twobambinos · 16/01/2018 19:31

Congratulations nakedmum wahoo. Did someone say insomnia was a sign. Because I had that last night. Although it may have been from the can of Coca-Cola Grin

cookiesaurus · 16/01/2018 19:45

Congratulations @NakedMum33and3rd !! Great news!!

I've definitely had insomnia this week but it could just be stress/excitement/jet lag!

PassTheAfterEights · 16/01/2018 20:10

Congratulations @Nakedmum33and3rd!!!

@TwoBambinos yes rotten insomnia - 3am / 3.30am since about 5 DPO. then horrid dreams then dozy til about 1pm. Still the case.

@Westieandlittleboymama yes used Glow - researched a few and seemed the most user friendly / accessible to those new to TTC. Only for six weeks so not long enough to make use of the patterns emerging but thought it was very good.

Starting tww tomorrow think I ovulated Sunday not 100% sure though. Fx!

cakeanytype · 16/01/2018 20:28

Hi ladies ... hope u all ok ... congratulations to any bfps❤️

Merrz · 16/01/2018 22:03

Yay more BFP's, congratulations!
Owlpatrol I think I ovulated Sunday too although I've had loads of watery CM yesterday and today, like to the point of my pants being wet Blush Does anyone know, is this normal after ovulation or have I got my ov day wrong?!

Owlpatrol · 16/01/2018 22:17

@Merrz omg snap to the watery cm....ive been trying grapefruit though as well so might be that!

cookiesaurus · 16/01/2018 22:30

@Owlpatrol @Merrz I'm no expert I'm afraid, but I think CM is quite normal. (TMI) but I've changed underwear this week!!

I'm probably obsessing, but has anyone seen a line when a FRER is against a backlight?? 🙈🙈

PassTheAfterEights · 16/01/2018 22:53

@cookiesaurus they're definitely stronger against a backlight. My first squinter is seriously hard to see in the flesh in normal light (not impossible but although DH can see it says he's no idea how I spotted it) but more visible against a window in bright daylight. But it's harder to tell what colour so although have since had clear pink BFP it could be an indent if it was a while after POAS? Fx for you!!

JLamb89 · 16/01/2018 22:55

I am two days into my tww. I am already mental !
This is my first cycle with a positive OPK so that naturally means I’m more mental than ever ...

Who even am I ?!? I went from not really bothered about having children to a crazed ovulating wife haha !
Oh my poor hubby.

Also I obviously naturally hcg tested to make sure my LH strips weren’t just picking up the wrong sugary protein ! Haha 🤦🏼‍♀️.
I need help !!

cookiesaurus · 16/01/2018 23:04

@PassTheAfterEights thanks! It was pretty much straight away so I'll try again tomorrow! 😬🤞

@JLamb89 it's my first 2ww too - it's a long old ride!! Much harder than I even imagined! GL x

Celebelly · 16/01/2018 23:23

I’ve went from ‘let’s just take it casual for a few months’ to peeing obsessively on OPK sticks and spending hours pondering my mucus in less than a week. I think BF is terrified of me. It’s day 4 dpo and I’m already convinced I’m pg EVEN THOUGH I KNOW I CAN’T HAVE ANY SYMPTOMS. And then I decide I’m probably infertile and start googling the cost of IVF. I am a crazy person.

Celebelly · 16/01/2018 23:24

IT would serve me right if I did give birth to a gecko 🦎

cowgirlblues · 16/01/2018 23:43

Joining at 7DPO having used OPKs for first time this month after 9 months just seeing what happens ...FX and congrats to those with BFPs! X

Owlpatrol · 17/01/2018 00:31

Hi all here I am middle of the night been waking up during the night, sore tummy, needing loo, anxiety! I can't be getting symptoms at 2dpo its ridiculous so im writing it here to pass some time...

cookiesaurus · 17/01/2018 06:11

@Celebelly all fairly normal then!! 😂😂

@Owlpatrol try and get a good nights sleep - I've been struggling as I've also been overthinking but all that happens is I'm absolutely knackered when the alarm goes!!!

What are we like?! 🤣🤣

Merrz · 17/01/2018 06:18

Owlpatrol i'm trying grapefruit this cycle 2. Just 1 glass of juice in the morning, I didn't think it would have an effect but looks like it's working Grin

cookiesaurus · 17/01/2018 06:19

@Merrz please forgive my ignorance, but what does the juice do???

Merrz · 17/01/2018 06:37

It's supposed to give you more CM, I think it works! Now I feel daft for asking if it was normal for all the CM post ov lol I really didn't think 1 glass a day would do anything!

RowenaDedalus · 17/01/2018 06:50

I have found my people. This is my first month ttc and I am insane! I'm hoping if it doesn't work this time that I will calm down a bit. I think it's because generally I like to be organised!
I think I am 5dpo- I got a fixed smiley last sat so assuming that it was correct then that's when I ovulated. So I'm now cd21 5dpo. I'm using the Ovia app and it says I can test in 9 days. 9 days has never seemed so far away! Poor DH doesn't know what's hit him.

FingersXssd83 · 17/01/2018 07:52

I'm getting really bad anxiety with this wait. I'm 11DPO and af is due on Saturday. I tested 7DPO and got a BFN but only tested with a cheapy so I'm not sure how accurate it was. Cycle 6 TTC #1 for us, and getting so worried that it's taking ages and I'm getting old (I'm 35 in July), which I know is a better place than some but it isn't where I want to be. So happy for everyone's BFPs and that gives me hope. It can be so difficult sometimes though 😔

CollyWombles · 17/01/2018 07:54

Must have been a dodgy test yesterday, took a clear blue digital this morning and got not pregnant. Also very irritable this morning. I think AF will be here in a day or two. Oh well, there's always next month! Good luck to all still waiting to test and congrats to all bfps 😊

Kkk87 · 17/01/2018 08:15

I'm in the 2ww, thing my best to stay calm but failing miserably.. I'm either 9-11dpo af due on the 20th. I had a huge dip on my bbt yesterday which has came back up today.. praying it's implantation dip.. fx for everyone x

Keiki · 17/01/2018 09:45

@sleepybadger cycle buddies! Also due next wednesday based on cycle average but have been as long as 35 days. One week to go. And breath.
