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

Hello, can I join please? I’m cd17, 3dpo I think. Got positive opk on Tuesday, think I ovulated on Thursday.
@rosieposie we only dtd once this week too, day after the positive opk and used pre seed. I work away from home during the week but took the train back on Wednesday because of the opk!
I’m 36, TTC #1 and on cycle 2.
Good luck to every one xx

@Penny31 tell me about it! I'm 9/10 dpo but I think AF is due in a week (if she turns up this month) I'm trying to keep myself occupied! When will you be testing?

@daisymay25 I’m not sure....I’ve got loads of cheapies so might start tomorrow. I know it’s too early but I can’t help myself! I think af is due around the 9th. I got my last bfp 12 dpo. 12dpo this time would be Tuesday. When are you testing?

Well its a BFN for me today. Im going to try and wait until AF is due/late (5 more days).

So much for not testing, only 7 or 8 dpo and I've already got 2 BFNs on the cheapie sticks! According to the app I use AF is due today but as I ovulated so late in my cycle I'm hoping that's not the case as it would be a very short luteal phase.

@JuniperKane Sorry you're in the same boat! I'm trying to have trust that everything will work out as it's supposed to. Baby or no baby. But hopefully baby!

BFN for me too this morning! I’ll retest again in the morning

Thanks everyone I feel a lot more hopeful now. @DreamyCat did you use an OPK?

@ATP1000 😂 it's so frustrating isn't it!! DP has been really poorly with man flu bless him. How long do you think you'll wait to test? I'm 6DPO today and my FRERs are glaring at me.

Hi @rosieposie, i think I’ll test one week today (next Saturday) still too early but I’ll just about make it through the week. I’m really bad for symptom spotting! Last month was loads of symptoms and a BFN so I’m trying to stay rational that really I won’t know until it’s closer to AF....but that’s easier said than done!
I’ve got ICs and FRER, using opks this month really helped narrow down the window, takes some of the stress out of working away from home.

@rosieposies No one of those cheap pregnancy sticks (the blue and white sticks). I think I paid about £5 for 25 opks and 10 pregnancy tests!

DreamyCat · 03/02/2018 15:51

@rosieposies Or did you mean what did I use to know when I ovulated? I used an opk for that so I only have a rough idea when I ovulated as I haven't been keeping track of my body temp...

Looks like I'm out for Feb. Spotting suggests AF is almost here. Sad

There's still time for BFPs!
Does anyone else find themselves prodding their boobs to see if they're still sore? (Mine are I just checked) or is it just me...?

@Penny31 I'm testing tomorrow but I'm not hopeful I think my body is just broken. Let me know how you get on in the morning though

Is anyone else testing on Friday? Need to stay strong this week!

Prods boobs. Yep a bit sore but could be normal!

Hmmm after a day of still feeling nauseous I think I see a quinter but on a blue dye test but I don’t trust blue dye ones!

Oooo @dragon, have you got a pic? Fingers crossed for you!

I’ve had some cramps today, but the spotting that I hope was IB has completely stopped since about 6 last night. Trying not to get too excited, going to try and not test til AF late. Xx

Can I join?
I'm ttc for number two, cycle number one but I have a short luteal phase. I ovulated really late this month (day 25 of a 32 day cycle) but am 9 days post ovulation (which is good luteal phase wise at least and I think it's probably just a random long cycle). I caved and did a frer this morning and it was false. I'm NOT going to test tomorrow. Bet I do though!

Last time I was ttc I literally only bought one pregnancy test in the whole 9 months we were trying and only used it when I was 5 days late (I was convinced I wasn't pregnant) but this time I think I'm going to go pregnancy test mad!

@seven201 Hello! Welcome. We are on a similar cycle this month. I ovulated late in my cycle too approx day 25 and am now 8dpo (ish). Think I'm out for this month though, I have a short luteal phase and have a feeling AF will be here tomorrow! Hope you get your BFP soon!

That does sound very similar dreamycat. Fingers crossed for you - It's not over yet! Although I feel the same, I really don't think it's happened this month for me. Good luck!

@seven201 I see you are TTC number two! May I ask if your luteal phase was an issue before? I've been worrying about mine a bit.

I don't think it was as it was just long enough at around 10 or 11 days I think back then. What was a problem to begin with was that I had no idea I ovulated so late. At first I didn't use any opk's, then moved to internet cheapies for a few months and NEVER got a positive, it was only when I splashed out on clearblue advance that I discovered I ov'd so late. I'd tried temping but that didn't work for me.

My cycles are shorter these days (except for this month but I do think maybe I have a couple of random long cycles a year) so I was panicking that my luteal phase is only 7 days, but it seems it's not that short. I've been taking vitamin b6 and vitamin c to try and lengthen it, so it could be that that's worked straight away, but seems unlikely.

Do you know how long yours normally is? From my limited research it seems as though as long as it's 10 or above it should be long enough.
