Feb Bus! Fingers crossed

[MrsO28]

I’m out for January. Fingers crossed for Feb!

28
TTC #1
Cycle 2
CD4
28 day cycle

Due tomorrow. No signs . Usually if he spotting by now but nothing. Not testing for another few days

Hello ladies, I’ve been lurking around for a while but have decided to take the plunge and join as I thought you might be able to give me some advice.

I’m 36, ttc #2, got pregnant super quickly the first time around 2 years ago but this time not so easy! AF looking imminent for this cycle even though I used clear blue advanced opk and got flashing and peak fertility...been having spotting which I could believe is implantation spotting but most likely AF. So....thinking ahead to next cycle and thought I’d use some internet cheapie opks alongside the Clearblue sticks to double check when I’m ovulating. Can anyone recommend any particular brand of internet cheapies or any to avoid? Thanks a mil

@Dubai2018 I have used ones called BabyMad and also cheap ones from the pound shop and both months I've used them I've caught my LH surge and been able to time dtd

Thank you @sophherts I’ll take a look at babymad. Making my plan of action for next cycle is helping me deal with the likelihood of AF!

waves at newbies

@sophherts ahh the tension, excited for you. Remembered you'd had a rough few months, you deserve some good news x

@colourful86 woman you're my hero, had mc at about the same time & about to get back on the horse, so to speak - I have one FRER left in my Waitrose "water hyacinth" (????) bathroom storage box and just know in a couple of weeks it'll be burning holes in my retinas...

@PassTheAfterEights ah thank you lovely. Yeah I'm not allowing myself to be overly excited because of what happened last time. If I can make it past 6 weeks I might start to relax!

@PassTheAfterEights have you had an af since your mc?
Horrid isn't it when you have the tests but have to resist, testing gets addictive! I work at home all day so can test all day long, but it consumes me... have to be strong and resist!

@sophherts yep I can see a squinter! Xx

Nothing to report here apart from cd2 😂 this af better be a quick one! I'm eating the whole cupboard! Some drinks planned this weekend so looking forward to that and thinking of booking some reiki just for some "me" time x

@Owlpatrol eek thanks! I'll update tomorrow. How're you doing love? X

@sophherts that's a squinted but I can see the faint line in the second pic, congrats!!

Hi to all newbies, being in this thread will keep you semi sane throughout the madness of TTC! Is anyone else got g through there fertile window/ovulation period? I'm slap bang in the middle of it the now, and driving DH mad with DTD lol

Meant to read "going through their fertile window

Period due today....no sign yet. Got a FRER in the house that I am trying not to use. I did one 3 days ago which was BFN and promised myself I would not do the other and just wait for period.....can't stop thinking about it though...! Positive vibes to you all

@Hopehope20 are u having any symptoms? Hoping your our next BFP!

Ok so ICs and OPKs where do people get them from that don't cost the earth? And any OPKs people recommend? Caught sight of the clear blue opk which was £25 for 10 tests, seemed quite dear

@Dubai2018 I use one step OPKs - you get them super cheap from Amazon.

@Westieandlittleboymama - me, I'm ovulating!! Got peak yesterday and day before so I think today is ovulation day. No temp rise yet. DTD 3 days in a row and will tonight too. Pretty tired...

@sophherts I can see it! Fingers crossed for you

@Westieandlittleboymama thanks! It is a real squinter... I'll get more excited when it's a bit more of a line. Too nervous after my mc

@MiniMinions amazon! You can get 25 pg tests for about £3.50 (the ICs) and cheapie opk's for about £4 for 20 I think

@MiniMinions I got these ones
Core Tests 20 Ovulation & 10 Pregnancy Test Strips Sticks 25mIU/ml 3mm https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01NCSGSGH/ref=cmswwrcppapi_xR4CAbHS2R07C

@sophherts oh that sounds much better for my bank balance!! Any particular ones to avoid? Last time I bought the Superdrug ones whenever on offer and used my Beauty card points when I could!

Thanks @DaisyMay25 x

Hi ladies just thought I’d post to stop going mad. Af was due today, not arrived yet and Its normally early morning arrival. Bfn this morning when it was no show.
I’ve got stats and numbers going round my head for all the reasons I could be pregnant and the same for all the reasons for getting a bfn.

Aaarrgghhh!

@sophherts I can imagine you will be, but it's looking very good for you so that's great for you!!

@sodababy2 aw glad it's not just me that's knackered! Peak today and tomorrow so...

@MiniMinions I use BabyMad opk's and one step pg tests, all bargain prices on amazon. Good luck!

@Owlpatrol. I was thinking of going for some Reiki. I've done it a few times before but it was a good few years ago.
