Hi all,

Just started the 2WW (I think) as I’m pretty sure I ovulated yesterday/today based on Flo & the bloatedness I’ve had...just wondered if anyone was at the same stage as me and how they were feeling about it all? This is TTC #1 for me xx

@winterwarmers I'm a nightmare once I start POAS! I'm only 5DPO so tying my hands behind my back! Haha x

DaisyMay25 · 12/02/2018 10:51

@ATP1000 I bet it's nice to see it on a digital!

I'm taking part in a research trial for clearblue this month, either I get their new ovulation monitor to use or I'm not allowed to use opks. They tell you when to take pregnancy tests too and I'm not gonna test early! If I can't do opks in just gonna DTD every other day starting CD8 I think

winterwarmers · 12/02/2018 10:55

i am not going to test again until thursday i keep thinking i feel pregnant then i don’t so if i am honest i have no clue

ATP1000 · 12/02/2018 11:08

Stay positive @winterwarmers, I barely have any symptoms today, apart from sore bbs which is normal anyway and I’m knackered from not sleeping last night. Otherwise I feel good. Skin has settled down. No more cramps after lots on the weekend.

@fingersxssd83 I didn’t get hip pain but it has been clicking a lot the last week.

Yes @daisymay, it’s really nice to see it on the digital! I just called antenatal and they don’t want to see me until 10 weeks so progressing from 1-2 to 3-4 weeks on clearblue is going to be the only feedback I have for a while (fingers crossed!) and apart from whatever else my body decides to do! Still waiting to pass af date so trying to stay sensible, although I did but a booties knitting book 🙈 just got to remember how to knit!

HappyThoughts7 · 12/02/2018 11:16

Morning all!

Congrats on all the BFPs! So exciting! I’m on cycle day 33, and haven’t come on as expected. Just bought my first ever FRER & it was blindingly negative. A little sad, but more anxious about where AF is...I know I only came off the pill in Oct, but other than my first period after that I’ve never had a cycle longer than 30 days Sad I’m obviously out, so I’d rather just have that confirmed, so I know where I’m at.

I just want be pregnant...!!!!!! Scream !!!!
All I can think of is that Im too old at 39...

Sorry ladies I Just want it to happen so badly ..😫😫 but maybe it will never happen and that is an awful thought...

LineEyes0801 · 12/02/2018 13:00

There are lines here, aren't there?!

Feel a bit sick but with nerves. 10 or 11 DPO, period due Friday.

I had promised myself I wouldn't test early this time as last month tested super early and had what I think must have been chem or evap. but I have been such a horrible, horrible grouch all weekend I suddenly though hang on... did an OPK first thing and it was really dark so then thought I would try these!

winterwarmers · 12/02/2018 13:02

yes that’s positive congratulations

LineEyes0801 · 12/02/2018 13:08

Thank you, winterwarmers. Just hope it sticks...

rosieposies · 12/02/2018 16:21

@happythoughts that's so frustrating Flowers My cycles were pretty much clock work and generally 29-30 days but about 3 months ago I had a 48 day cycle out of nowhere which really freaked me out. I had just been made redundant and my only explanation for it is the stress of that. It's a stressful old business this TTC-ing. Have a look into Vitamin B6 as it's supposed to be fab for regulating hormones etc. xx

HappyThoughts7 · 12/02/2018 16:40

Thanks @rosieposies Smile there’s B6 in the Seven Seas trying for a baby pills that I take, but no idea how much or whether I can take more!
I have been a little stressed with work, but nothing out of the ordinary. Fx crossed it turns up soon so I can stop worrying and get started on cycle 2 & join you guys on the March bus. Hope you’re doing okay. Xx

How’s it going @fingersxssd83 ? I just wanted to mention about hips again. This morning walking to work and now at my desk, I have an ache in my right hip near the dip of the groin. I don’t know if that’s how you were feeling or not?

Another symptom I wasn’t expecting is that I keep waking up early, super early for me, like 5.50am. Normally I struggle to get up at 7am! Normally I snooze but I’m right awake straight away.
Af is due tomorrow, I’m 13 or 14 dpo i think. Ov on 31st jan or 1st Feb.
Done another test, I bought so many in Boots 3for2! The FRER line is looking better and it’s showing up positive in the evenings now.
Good luck everyone! Xx

Hi, I'm in the TWW TTC number 1, FF says I ovulated on CD 21 due to the temp shift. Im 9DPO now which is way to short a luteal phase for me but my temp has dipped really low below the cover line this morning, as though I'm about to start AF. Could FF be wrong and could I have ovulated earlier even though I didn't have the temp shift until CD22?

lucylondon32 · 13/02/2018 12:13

Ahh @ATP1000 congratulations! I remember having so many strange aches and twinges with my last pregnancy, even right at the beginning x

winterwarmers · 13/02/2018 16:04

i think i’m going to be out not feeling much this month :( my chart temps are good but i just don’t feel it and my cervix feels quite open

FingersXssd83 · 13/02/2018 17:33

Oh wow definitely a positive @ATP1000 🎉👍🏻 How exciting!! My hip pains were only momentary and felt like a shooting pain on the insides. Happened while I was lay in bed. I've slept awfully the last week or so too, keep waking up (usually to go to the loo!). I'm day 26 today (cycles since tracking have been 24-27 days), and had no usual pre-period cramps which has got me wondering... Bricking it now hehe! Will test on Thurs if AF is a no-show

Mama87 · 13/02/2018 17:53

@FingersXssd83 i am cd25 and my symptoms are lower back ache and an ache in the LOW left area Blush also since sat have had headaches everyday!!! I really hope these are all good signs! Fingerscrossed for everyone x

Mama87 · 13/02/2018 17:54

DaisyMay25 · 13/02/2018 17:58

FingersXssd83 · 13/02/2018 18:10

I've had mild headaches too! Wishing you the best of luck @Mama87 How long is your normal cycle and will this be your first baby? xx

Mama87 · 13/02/2018 19:22

@FingersXssd83 aww best of luck to you too and everyone else waiting for their BFP's. Im irregular due to getting epilepsy but app reckons 20th feb. Will be testing friday Confused No my next baby would be nunber 5. Had DD in 2006, DS in 2008, DD 2010 and DD 2012. Luckily got pregnant no problem with them but this is our 3rd month of ttc x

Hopefulbunny · 13/02/2018 20:39

I hope its not too late to join, AF due around 21 Feb I had a very early miscarriage in Nov and since then cycles have been slightly longer but have hopefully returned to normal.

ATP1000 you have very positive lines there, I bet you are so chuffed! I am 36 TTC #1 so you have given me hope it can happen.

Is anyone testing soon.

buntingandstarcharts · 13/02/2018 21:04

Hi Hopefulbunny, AF due for me on 23rd Feb! Sorry to hear about your early miscarriageSadFlowersStar ttc #1 too! 32 years old and month 3 of trying! How long did it take everyone to fall pregnant?
