Hi ladies! Today is 1dpo (I think?) so just heading into the tww. I'm trying for my 2nd and on C2. Anyone want to keep me company? Xx

@Frizzy1986 - I really hope it's something!! You're not out until af - some people don't realise they're expecting until they have a baby so it's possible to not have symptoms anyway xxx

I've also now decided to run 2 apps with diff cycle lengths (hilariously it autocorrected diff to duff). One for 24 days and one for 27 days. We've been trying to dtd every 2-3 days anyway just so it seems less like we are aiming for something and more to just enjoy sex. How long that will last who knows though 😂
One app puts ov on 13th and the other on 17th. Dtd every 2-3 days after af up until 16th, then a gap of 5 days but not catching will just be down to luck as we've been active at the "right" times. Just means I'm either 12dpo or 8dpo. Last few cycles have been 24 so I'm more looking towards 12dpo but with bfn so far I guess I'll have to wait and see for af. Due either 28th or 31st. Think if its 28th I must be out by now. I know nothings certain until af, but it's getting unlikely.
Only on cycle 2 though so plenty of time to not stress about it.
Have a phone appointment with the doctor today to discuss my anxiety/depression meds and ttc/pregnancy. Don't think there's any issues, but I like to prepare. Prior to dd I went for a health check and to discuss ttc. I'm kinda proper and weird like that 😂

@KimRobs87 ahhhh I see it! So excited for you, keeping everything crossed!

Sadly I’m pretty sure I’m out already before I even got a chance to test. Spotting is getting heavier, to the extent I can tell it will be full blown AF by tonight/tomorrow Sad I’m going out with DP tonight so at least we can drown our sorrows! I’ll stick around to see how you’re all getting on, it gives me hope!

KimRobs87 · 25/05/2018 08:04

@ I totally get it. Before we started trying I got a blood test to make sure I didn't have thyroid / diabetes etc etc. You're just doing what you need to. My af dates are totally confused for me this month, ov peak was early so would suggest I'm due in a few days rather than 31/05 like I thought. Still on 9dpo though.

@mostimproved - aww, sending you love! Have fun tonight and sending baby dust xx

@Frizzy1986 fx for you! I can relate about the doctors thing - I’m there every 4-6 weeks so it felt wrong not to tell my GP that I’m ttc as I see him more than I see some friends!

starsandstuff · 25/05/2018 08:08

I see something @KimRobs87!!

Got a BFN myself this morning, not surprised. Shows how much I've been on these boards because I had a dream last night I got two lines on a blue test, and my DP was so pleased but I said "I don't know because I thought I bought a FRER and this is a blue test and they're notoriously unreliable, and that's a really strong line for just 9dpo." 

Don't give up @FoxyRoxy, I'm just going to go out tonight and enjoy a few drinks and wait until Wed to check which is when Clue thinks AF is coming.

Cloud9889 · 25/05/2018 08:27

I got the faintest of lines again on IC Today. Just checking how do you guys calculate DPO as I think I had it wrong I was including when I thought I got the surge as a DPO when in fact you ovulate 12-36 hours approx after the surge. If this is the case I am probably only 10dpo today which is making me fee better. I have ordered a pack of FRER from good old amazon which are coming today

KimRobs87 · 25/05/2018 08:30

@Cloud9889 - yay! I only decided on mine because I had cramps the day after I got my peak but it's not an exact science! My frers are on the way too xx

OP posts:
Fredthespider · 25/05/2018 08:34

That’s so exciting @kimrobs87! Fingers crossed for a stronger positive in a few days.

Hugs for all those who’ve got a BFN :-( hoping that it’s just too early to test for you.

I’ve been really crampy for the past few days, nothing major, but a dull ache that’s always there. Other than a tiny bit of spotting on Wednesday I’ve had no other signs so not feeling so confident at the moment. Not testing until Monday so we’ll see.

Fredthespider · 25/05/2018 08:36

@cloud8998 I’ve taken the day after the peak on the OPK as like you say you ovulate after the surge. Your faint positives are encouraging. Fingers crossed for you x

TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong · 25/05/2018 08:38

Sounding good @Cloud9889
I caved too!! BFN. Thought I saw a glimmer of something but told myself I'm being silk so chucked it! I'll have a wine later without feeling too guilty!

starsandstuff · 25/05/2018 10:26

Thought I saw a glimmer of something but told myself I'm being silk so chucked it!

I'm the same - now have to stop myself fishing it back out of the bin when I get home Grin

Cloud9889 · 25/05/2018 12:54

Gutted. Did a clear blue early detection which claims to be 79% accurate 5 days before you are due on and not even a hint of a line

Cloud9889 · 25/05/2018 12:55

Thing is I have almost constant lower back ache and sore boobs but guess I am overly symptom spotting. At least I have a holiday to look forward to but just feel really down hearted after really thinking this could be it last few days

KimRobs87 · 25/05/2018 13:05

@Cloud9889 - af isn't due yet though right? I've heard CB aren't the most reliable x

Frizzy1986 · 25/05/2018 13:16

Still a chance cloud, there's still a chance.
I had a good chat with the doc, gave me a website to look at issues with my meds a pregnancy and suggested a face to face in a week or so. Think it would be good to come off them if I can. I'm on a minimal dose anyway and if it lowers any risks then it's the right thing to do. Suggested I sign up to local counselling so I'm on the list.
Pigged out at lunch today as we get free food on Fridays. Today they put on a buffet and I definitely over indulged. When there's breaded mushrooms and breaded Prawns and chips and more, I just can't stay away.

Cloud9889 · 25/05/2018 13:18

Not due until Tuesday

KimRobs87 · 25/05/2018 13:26

Cloud9889 · 25/05/2018 15:12

I’m trying not to get too excited as I got a negative clear blue early detection earlier but that’s gotta be a line right ?

TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong · 25/05/2018 15:18

@Cloud9889 can definitely see it!!! Congratulations!

Cloud9889 · 25/05/2018 15:28

Oh my god the other clear blue which was negative earlier have just done the other in packet and there is faint line. I’m going into town in a bit does anybody know if Superdrug tests are good as they were good when I’ve been TTC in the past?
