Ah if it works then maybe you don’t, don’t know why I thought that, no expert her in fact @twittlebee and @cakelaur helped me immensely!

TwittleBee · 17/05/2018 20:02

italianwifey you are right, it is meant to be 2 decimal places! I'm just making do with 1 and it appears to be working... but then maybe not because I just peed on a FRER and it's a BFN Sad

thisisouryrfx18 true, might try to save my last FRER till Saturday morning. Give it an extra day to build up or for AF to show

italianwifey · 17/05/2018 21:36

@twittlebee don’t lose hope!!! Lots of people don’t get a BFP until a few days late. And today is second day late right? Is that normal for you? I feel like no in my memory from other months but then I won’t pretend to know your cycle more than you 😂😂I poas just an ic but it’s so so white! Never mind. Had a few period type pains as well so pretty sure af will be with me by sat. At least only 3 days of spotting rather than 6!!!

dee7409 · 17/05/2018 21:57

@thisisouryrfx18 actively since Dec 17 but really putting in REAL effort since march 18...i think i wasnt ovulating...i think...done clomid and metformin and ovulate this cycle so now waiting

GoldilocksTheGraceless · 17/05/2018 21:57

Hi everyone 😃 to second what @italianwifey just said it took me weeks to get a full blown positive after the smallest shadow of a BFP and I'm now 8+4 and going strong so don't lose hope!

I thought you all might like to hear about this funny little convo I just had with DP over dinner:
Me: vaginas are so annoying. When have you ever had a dr poking around your bits and bobs?
Him: yeah never
Me: and you don't have to worry about mammograms or cervical screening. When do you get your first prostate screening?
Him: like, 40?
Me: ugh, and you haven't been wanging around with chemical contraception for years on end... you can't get PCOS, thrush and cystitis are barely a worry, and don't even get me started on landscaping!
Him: yeah... but we are all colourblind so that helps right?

🤦‍♀️

dee7409 · 17/05/2018 22:01

@twittlewbee sorry about BFN..i am sick of squinting for an imaginary line...i am in despair as i really felt myself ovulate for the first time...( i have ouvate before as I have DD 15 & 13)..Thought i would have had a positive by now..was so optimistic but now i dont know...cant say for sure how much dpo i am...dont know which day is dpo 1...got a +ve opk on the 6th and felt ov on the 6th so...just dont know

thisisouryrfx18 · 17/05/2018 22:03

@dee7409 well that should help get the ball rolling is it#1 for u?

dee7409 · 17/05/2018 22:05

@thisisouryrfx18 no i have 2 DD 15 & 13

thisisouryrfx18 · 17/05/2018 22:08

italianwifey · 17/05/2018 22:13

Lol @goldilocksthegraceless! @dee7409 I really felt mine this month too. Hope you’re all having a relaxing evening ladies

Day 3 - still no AF but also forgot to POAS with FMU. Oops! Was just on auto-pilot. Shall POAS tomorrow though! Still no AF symptoms, feel strangely good...

italianwifey Yeah true, and I know Cakelaur said her BFP was late like GoldilocksTheGraceless too. Just wonder now if I calculated my BFP at 7dpo with DS wrong and I actually Ovd a lot sooner Hmm

GoldilocksTheGraceless Men are clueless what we go through! Its like most of their STI tests can be done with a urine sample, we need a fricking swab and often our cervix checked out too! I was wtahcing that "What makes a Woman" documentary Wednesday night with that "celeb" who wants to become a woman and he said "vaginas are just body parts" - biggest understatement of the century right there haha.

dee7409 you are still early though so don't give up hope! I'm 15dpo with late AF and still no BFP and as others have said, their pregnant and didn't get their BFP till way after their missed AF!

lolacola13 nooo don't do that to yourself hahaha! you POAS addict! Well I suppose now you'll just have to wait till missed AF. 1 week to go! FX for you lovely.

Hope everyone is well this morning? Meant to be a lovely weekend!

thisisouryrfx18 brilliant to see! Chart looking so good! Wait wait wait though! As I said previously, 80% of implantation takes place between 7dpo-10dpo, so you're likely to have not implanted yet! And then it can take another 4 days to completely securely implant and then another 4 days before Hcg levels are high enough to get picked up on a HPT! Save your money lol Grin (says the woman who is also guilty of POAS too much)

@TwittleBee worst timing ever for tww tho im off work nxt wk its gonna b soo hard resisting to test lol it says on ff test on the 30th 19dpo who the hell waits that long?! Funny story yest i was at my sisters house when my dog got out i was chasing her up and down the road for soo long my toast( i was cooking for lunch) got burnt so i had to drag the dog back to the house while the smoke alarm was goin off not really gd when ur trying to chill and be stress free during tww😂

dee7409 · 18/05/2018 10:54

@thisisouryrfx18 at the moment i will take anything...actually i am really hoping for two ha ha my DH looked at me like i have two heads...he is def running scared ha ha..@twittlebee thinking about my two previous preg..i didnt know until morning sickness kicked in....

i dont know if this is anything but...the pricking little jabs i have been having for almost a week off and on throughout the day have gone and i took my temp this morning at 7 and it was 35.7 and again at 8 and it went down to 35.1 does that mean anything....oh and i woke up with lower back pain in the centre and after a couple of hours it is gone.....am i reading too much into these things...my breasts are still the same...tested on a tesco hpt and i swear there is a shadow of a line, but i am not sure ...it is blue dye...i just think if i had to look that hard it might not be there....3 more days in my tww and 6 day to AF so lets see...

apologies about the long post..

dee7409 Hopefully youll see a BFP soon but don't have to suffer with morning sickness this time round. Temping really only means anything if you're monitoring it nearly every day after 3 hours sleep and its taken at same time every day.

I really recommend you look on this website: www.fertilityfriend.com/Presentations/ChartingBasics/
It will give you a lot of the basics for using your temps.

And don't apologise about the long posts (Blimey, mine are usually really long haha!)
