@Amz60 oh god I hoed I'm lucky like that too. I'm starting to think my Flo app was wrong. Don't even wanna take another test, as I'm sure even though I feel so strange and different that it's gonna be negative.

@KABRAMS1 welcome! Sending you lots of baby dust xxx

@Amz60 congratulations! No doubt that's a BFP! Good for you xxx

I did a test last night and it was negative, I oddly didn't feel too disappointed as I'm not that far past ovulation (I think!) so not cutting my hope for this month just yet! 😊

Couldn't find a FRER in Asda so used a cheapy one... any ideas where I could get one?

Delilah7 · 30/05/2018 09:24

@sachabloom I got two for £7 something on amazon lovely x x

Congratulations@Amz60!! Did an off the cuff OPK last night even though I was certain I was 5dpo..and it was only blooming positive. So confusing, I had taken cd1 as first day of spotting but looks like my period didn't actually start until it got heavier about four days later. Fun and games 💕💕

sachabloom · 30/05/2018 10:08

Thanks @Delilah7 just ordered! Are these the tests you used last week?

Delilah7 · 30/05/2018 10:15

@sachabloom correct :) xx

@Delilah7 how you feeling today? X

Jenjongar · 30/05/2018 11:17

Hello
I have been ttc for 2 years and am 36 years old, have had various tests and no definitive reason for it not happening, just about to take my last month of clomid and then have to go back to see consultant. Every month is a disappointment when my period comes! Not sure what the next step will be after clomid, hoping things may just happen in the meantime! Any over 35's with similar experiences? Most friends have kids or seem to conceive within a year. Good luck to you all Smile

Delilah7 · 30/05/2018 11:22

@sachabloom still pretty down and low. on another post a ladies just made me realise I've probably not ovulated when my app told me as I've only had a withdrawal bleed. So I'm pretty much getting my hopes up for nothing. :( you? X

Smoochimoochi · 30/05/2018 13:38

@Delilah7 try not to feel down (I know easier said than done) try to keep positive, I like to think that we will all get our time soon enough 😘

Delilah7 · 30/05/2018 13:41

@Smoochimoochi it's so hard. Mainly because I'm so convinced I feel different and am; that I'll be disappointed x x

Smoochimoochi · 30/05/2018 14:23

@Delilah7 I know it's sooo frustrating. Keep your chin up chick! X

sachabloom · 30/05/2018 14:30

@Delilah7 I hadn't thought of that! I've only had withdrawal bleed too, so these cramps are probably just my body adjusting actually. Ah well, fingers crossed for some normality next month! Xxx

Delilah7 · 30/05/2018 14:39

@Smoochimoochi thanks lovely.

@sachabloom yes we are still in the game lovely xxx

Hi All, I’m new to mumsnet & hope you don’t mind me joining the conversation. TTC Cycle 1. Currently using Flo to track everything and been off the pill around 6 months. Last two periods have been 5 days late, so not sure if I am but apparently OV tomorrow. Tempted by basal temp- anyone have any advice?
Love to all xxx

@Delilah7 so sorry hon. Try and keep your spirits up. It’s so hard, I’ve had to try and get off some medication so feel like I’ve been waiting 6 months already and it really sucks.

@PixieLoo wishing you luck.

Delilah7 · 31/05/2018 10:06

@MrsA89 thanks lovely. AF is not here yet though and I've got no cramps as of yet!

Hi girls.
I'm new to mumsnet. Me and my partner have been ttc for 7 nearly 8 months now. I finally feel like I'm not alone following this thread because everyone around me seems to be getting pregnant. Even more pressure as all my family are so excited for me to get preggers.
Every month has passed by with nothing but a bfn and it gets more heartbreaking every time. People keep saying oh you are so young (I am 23) just relax but me and my partner are so ready so it's frustrating. I am currently in my tww, I have been using OPKs so been very organised. I am due AF 10th of June so it's a horrible wait.
I just want to say good luck to all you girls TTC, it is such a crazy and draining journey but we can do it!! Flowers

RobynC19 · 31/05/2018 10:24

Fingers crossed maybe the test just hasn't detected yet. Xx

RobynC19 · 31/05/2018 10:26

@AmyLouise94
I hope it happens for you soon got to admit we haven't told our family we are trying because although they would be over the moon they would be constantly waiting.
