Or maybe tomorrow lol... Did Opk yesterday morning, almost positive second line and flashing smilely. Yesterday evening solid smiley and strong positive on IC. This morning second line feinter and defo not as strong. Bbt dip yesterday and significant rise today. So I am thinking today is O day. Do you agree? Or can u get positive Opk and not ov for a couple of days? If that were the case, would it have gotten feinter this morning? Bd'd the last two days and will again tonight. Here's hoping!!! Who else is out there?

Oh no @SophieStripe - is that earlier than expected?

Hi all! Can I join?

TTC#1 and this is my first cycle. Got my first positive OPK last night CD14 and one positive this morning CD15. Had sore boobs today and EWCM for the last 5 days.

Please advise...
I've been tracking my temp for the last week too and there was a rise on CD13. Is it possible I ovulated on CD13 but didn't get a positive OPK until Late on CD14? I didn't DTD on CD13 just CD14 and 15 when the OPK was positive.

I've tested later this evening and my OPK is now negative....will DTD tomorrow for good measure.

Now for the 2 week wait 🤞 good luck ladies! Xoxo

SophieStripe · 08/02/2018 20:59

Congratulations beckya82!!

I'm due on tomorrow or the 2 or 3 days after (I haven't figured out my cycles yet). I'm not looking forward to AF arriving.

I've had really consistent indigestion and burping a lot this week so was wondering if it was a sign as I never normal get this... But I'm pretty sure I'm starting to feel periody. Sigh.

Miss83 · 08/02/2018 18:37

MrsD7 I am in the same boat as you really... Came off my pill July 2016, we used protection up until October 2016 and then was just trying to be careful really. We actively started trying in the August 2017 but this is the first month I have been using OPKs and really getting in to it. I went to see my doctor last week as I was a bit worried...she was amazing, had blood tests today to just waiting for my follow up.

So if I was you I would go in May if no BFP... My sister in law went a few months ago and they told her it was a 9 month waiting list in our area to get seen at the hospital. So I maybe expecting the same news at my follow up appointment, though I hope not!

Mama87 · 08/02/2018 15:56

@MrsD7 fab news hope everyone gets their BFP's! I am worn out 2 so this will b a nice 2 week rest lol! Since yesterday i have had such a strange feeling in my lower left pelvic/groin area today i have had it again but also with lower back ache

MrsD7 · 08/02/2018 13:46

@beckya82 congrats on your BFP and good luck with your blood tests. I am currently being treated for overactive thyroid and docs have said shouldn't affect fertility as my levels are within normal range now.

Question for everyone... I've been off the pill since May 2017. Been having unprotected BD since then but only started actively trying in December. If we haven't had BFP by May 2018 should I see docs?

MrsD7 · 08/02/2018 13:41

@Mama87 I had the same timings as you! Opk was positive Sunday morning and my bbt went up on Monday. BD every other day last week and then Sunday, Monday and Tuesday!! Ready for a rest now 😂 Fingers crossed for us both!

Any suggestions to keep busy for the 2ww. All I do at work is look at baby things!!

Miss83 · 08/02/2018 11:28

Hi ladies, can I join to.

Been trying for 4 months but this is the first month using tests and my line was strong yesterday but had my strongest line today, we DTD last night... Will that count?

beckya82 · 08/02/2018 09:10

@Herewegoagain56 I think I'm 10 dpo at the moment going by the opk's and really bad tummy cramps two days later! Thank you, I can't believe it and now I'm scared it was all a falsy!
@Kirstylee95 good luck honey, really want you and all the ladies here to get their BFP 🤗

Good luck ladies!

Herewegoagain56 · 08/02/2018 08:32

Congrats!! So happy for you! How many days past ovulation are you?

I tested this morning on a cheap internet test but negative 😞 It might be too early though so will try again tomorrow.

Kirstylee95 · 08/02/2018 08:03

@beckya82 awww well good news all round then for you ! I come off the pill that been taking for years in July and been ttc ever since but my cycles have been all over the place I'd say this month is the first month I've come on when I was ment too so hopefully that makes it abit easier for us and I'm starting seven seas this month too xx

beckya82 · 08/02/2018 07:55

I just woke hubby up to tell him (as he always said he wanted to know when I tested) and all I got was a hmmmmmm cos he was too sleepy haha
Been trying since November when implant was taken out but only had withdrawal bleed in Nov and then no period till 12 Jan. Poor hubby was practically strapped to the bed and made to BD in fertile week.
I'm actually going for a blood test today anyway to test for thyroid and possible PCOS as have all classic symptoms but ignored them as I was too scared! Stupid me and then it bothered me when TTC! Am 35 now!

Kirstylee95 · 08/02/2018 07:51

@beckya82 aww hun happy for you ! How long have u been trying ? And any advice so want a bfp now 😩

beckya82 · 08/02/2018 07:50

@Kirstylee95 ah thank you honey! Gosh I'm shaking! I don't want to get my hopes up!!!

Kirstylee95 · 08/02/2018 07:43

@SophieStripe how you getting on hunnie ! Xx

Kirstylee95 · 08/02/2018 07:43

@beckya82 I'd say congratulations that looks positive ! Just because early test again in 2-3 days 🙂 #slightlyjealousofyourpositive xx

beckya82 · 08/02/2018 07:28

Help me girls from going nuts! Please check this picture out and tell me I'm just mad and naughty for testing early. The second line seems pinker than the photo suggests

Starting 2ww today!

Herewegoagain56 · 07/02/2018 15:00

Sorry @Kirstylee that you’re out for this month. @Sophie hopefully you aren’t out yet

@Daisy I don’t drink much anyway but did have a drink last night (just one). I figure one won’t do much harm (when I was pregnant with my first child the advice when pregnant was that one drink was fine). Is hard to not drink anything in the 2ww as you don’t know how long you have to wait for!!

Becky be careful using OPK as pregnancy test. I have read that we always have certain levels in us to make a second line appear... Also you can get a second surge close to AF to make the second line stronger. By the time OPK was detecting pregnancy hormone it would definitely show up on a pregnancy test. Don't want to sound negative and could still mean youre pregnant but just don't want you to get hopes up just incase. Use a pregnancy test!

@Daisydot123 hopefully seven seas work for us ladies 🙂 as far as the alcohol goes it's entirely up to you i normally go with my gut instinct xx

Daisydot123 · 07/02/2018 12:19

Good plan Kirstylee. I’m using the sevenseas vitamins. Also a friend of mine started acupuncture after TTC for 13 months with no luck - after acupuncture she conceived in 3 months, the month before she was booked in for IVF! No idea if acupuncture worked but can’t do any harm.

Can I ask if others are refraining from
Alcohol on 2ww? I have been but hosting a dinner party on Saturday night for work friends and worried people will notice me not drinking
