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?

@SophieStripe I haven't tested yet :) today and yesterday I had two dark brown spots in my knickers but nothing other than that af is due in 6 days so could be that that's coming as was feeling abit crampy earlier and sore boobs ! X

beckya82 · 07/02/2018 05:09

Cue the photos haha. Decided to POAS with an OPK as I have read they also show up positive if you're pregnant. It's too early I guess to keep spending money on FRER's! What do you think (apart from being a bit daft) lol.

Starting 2ww today!

Kirstylee95 · 07/02/2018 06:53

@beckya82 hey Hun I've never heard of this theory what is it ? Xx

BiscayTrafalgarFitzroy · 07/02/2018 07:04

That OPK is negative. The line needs to be as dark, or darker than, the control line.

Daisydot123 · 07/02/2018 07:07

Good morning ladies, i’m Halfway through the 2WW and wondered if I could join you?

This is month 3 of TTC following a miscarriage in August (an unplanned pregnancy) but after made us decide we wanted a baby after all...

Have woken up past two days with tingly boobies but nothing more. I only got a very faint OPK on 31st Jan. and don’t ever normally test positive (although i’m Rubbish at testing twice a day)!

I’ve not heard of using OPK to check for pregnancy before either ....

Herewegoagain56 · 07/02/2018 07:14

Wanting to join to help me stop myself from testing too early!! Fertility friend says I’m 8DPO but I think I could be more like 9. When is the earliest reliable day to test? I’m thinking I’ll try on Friday as I’ll be 10 or 11DPO then or is that too early?

I’ve heard about ovulation stick being used as a pregnancy test but think that’s not a reliable method so I’d go for the cheap pregnancy tests instead!

I don’t have any symptoms yet!

Kirstylee95 · 07/02/2018 07:15

@Daisydot123 ah hoping this is the month for a few of us I've been trying for 8 months now which feels like a lifetime every time my body does something different I'm like is this a sign 🤦‍♀️ my af is due to arrive in 4 or 5 days so I just have to wait and see altho I have had a few odd brown spots in my undies not sure if it's discharge or blood tho and it stopped now yesterday and the day before was when I noticed but I do no my nipples have ached 😂😩 xx

Kirstylee95 · 07/02/2018 07:24

Ladies I go back on my word just went to the loo and af has arrived 😩

Daisydot123 · 07/02/2018 07:49

Oh sorry Kirstylee95. So frustrating. Fingers crossed for next month x

SophieStripe · 07/02/2018 08:23

Awww sorry to hear that kirstylee. I think I'm also out. Did FRER again this morning (of course lol) and it was negative. Temp dropped a bit this morning and have AF like cramps. :-(

Kirstylee95 · 07/02/2018 09:13

@SophieStripe it's so frustrating you kinda loose
Hope at conceiving and my drs just fob be off and say we won't investigate anything until a year past as could take that long for my
Body to return to normal 😩 feeling deflated today x

Daisydot123 · 07/02/2018 10:00

Is it possible for you to get a second opinion Kirstylee95? Ask to see a female GP or maybe go privately (although that can be really expensive)

Kirstylee95 · 07/02/2018 10:15

@Daisydot123 I've asked two different doctors and they have both said the same thing I guess my contraception messed my body up good and proper but after this month af we are going to try seven seas vitamins and also baby dance every other day 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

Kirstylee95 · 07/02/2018 12:26

@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

SophieStripe · 07/02/2018 14:50

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!

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!!

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!

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

Kirstylee95 · 08/02/2018 07:43

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 07:51

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 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

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.
