So I'm starting another two week wait, a bit sooner than anticipated. It seems I either ovulated CD 10 or 11 this cycle, which is very early for me.

Not sure if I'm 1 or 2dpo? Got a positive ovulation strip on Wednesday, by Thursday it was negative, but had lots of EWCM and CP was high soft and open. Would I get a negative OPK on the day or within hours of ovulation? Any advice would be much appreciated Smile.

Good luck ladies 🤞 Hopefully we get our BFPs this time! Xxx

@Momma22 I know what you mean, we'd be testing same time fx for our lucky month! Af due Saturday so holding off on a teeny bit of hope! Hope you have a nice few days. My lucky number if 4 but cycle 4 is a distant memory for me now I hope it won't be 44!!

Triskaidekaphilia · 16/08/2018 17:28

I used my last test, couldn't help myself, got another BFN Sad I feel like it's not going to be the month and I have to just wait until AF Sad

FlapJackered · 16/08/2018 17:30

Just catching up, I feel for you @Triskaidekaphilia and @Momma22 it's those last few days before testing which are so agonising aren't they. I am not looking forward to that.

I don't think it will be my month this time as I am eating so much pizza/pasta/gelato and drinking so much prosecco! My DH thinks I am silly to watch what I eat and drink while ttc so it would be just his luck if I got pregnant the month I let the diet etc go to pot! He would be so smug it would be unbearable! 😂
Being on holiday is a good tww distraction though and my testing day will be the day after I get back.

FlapJackered · 16/08/2018 17:31

Acht just saw your post @Triskaidekaphilia sorry about the bfn. What cd are you now? It could still be too early?

Triskaidekaphilia · 16/08/2018 18:01

@FlapJackered Yes especially when you're not sure when AF should even be! I agree with you in terms of daily diet, especially as I've worked with a nutritionist who managed to concieve herself through dietary changes, but I also agree with your DH when it comes to treats, like I don't think what you're having on your holiday will stop you concieving, may even help if it relaxes you!

I'm on CD29- my last cycle was 29 days but before that they were long and irregular so don't really know when to expect AF. I may have mentioned, we last DTD on CD14 so if sperm usually only survive around 3 days then CD17 is the latest I could have ov'd and still concieved. So it may be worth testing again on CD31, Saturday, which is when I should've saved my test for really! Of course if the pains yesterday were ovulation pains then AF may still be 2 weeks away! But doesn't really make sense with CP and CM.

Hi everyone! How is everyone doing this morning? Got another bfn this morning. AF due tomorrow or Sunday, so we'll see, no pms symptoms yet. I had flutters in my lower abdomen the past two days which fell in the same area I could feel when I had my DD, so I'm still hopeful but disappointed by the bfn to be honest, thought it would have picked up something by now!!

saze4 · 17/08/2018 08:56

@Momma22 hey! I'm in that ttw it's mentally draining me i just want my bfp!! I'm 7dpo and yesterday had some light spotting then turned into dark brown and stringy nothing today and af not due for another 9 days im praying that was IB far too early to test

feerouge · 17/08/2018 17:45

Well today I rrrreally don't know what I'm in for, I got something that ressembled implantation bleed this morning but a bfn, and I'm having cramps, not exactly like period pains, so...I should be more sure about what's happening in one or two days.
How's everyone doing? Someone else AF due this weekend? Any twinges?

Triskaidekaphilia · 17/08/2018 19:36

Still no AF for me. I might get some ICs, or test one last time on Monday. I've been feeling utterly shit because although I didn't 100% expect a BFP, I thought that I was back to regular, average length cycles which doesn't seem to be the case.

Thethreeandme · 17/08/2018 19:59

Ladies I'm bloody 6 days late no period bfn and no symptoms.. does this mean I didn't ovulat this month I don't understand but I'm worried xx

Triskaidekaphilia · 17/08/2018 21:40

You could have ovulated later than you thought @Thethreeandme, you could be pregnant but not showing on test yet for some reason, or something has thrown out your normal cycle, whether that's not ovulating, luteal phase is longer for some reason, it's hard to say really. I'm wondering the same.

FlapJackered · 18/08/2018 07:47

@Triskaidekaphilia - it is so frustrating with the long cycles isn't it, I am the same - after a 29 day cycle this one is now looking like it will be around 36days. 😩

I really don't think it will be my month as I got unintentionally very drunk yesterday after some very strong cocktails. Going to stick to one drink max now per day for the rest of the holiday.

@feerouge if you just had what you think is an implantation bleed then it could be a couple of days before the hormones build up enough to show on a test. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Thethreeandme - what @Triskaidekaphilia said. It could be you didn't ovulate this cylcle or you ovulated later than you thought you did.

Triskaidekaphilia · 18/08/2018 11:05

@FlapJackered definitely, it gets your hopes up. I had my old implant out last month as I thought it might still be releasing hormones, so when I got a normal cycle I thought maybe it had been that all this time. Now I'm thinking the 29 day one may have just been a fluke. My boobs are getting sore now but my cervix isn't even low yet so could be ages til AF.

Owlpatrol · 18/08/2018 11:44

Not much to report here apart from being a moody mare one minute then fine the next. I've literally been snapping at everything and I've been on holiday I should have been enjoying it. I am fully expecting af tomorrow now or at least spotting sometime. Had all my usual af symptoms apart from being more moody than usual!

@FlapJackered make sure you enjoy your holiday for me ! Hehe

ridashahzad · 18/08/2018 12:09

Hi ladies, may I join in?

Second cycle after leaving the pill (which I was on for 4 months). I was very sure of my fertile time this month because my CM was super watery (sorry for TMI).

Today is possibly 4 dpo. No symptoms yet apart from thickening of CM and a weird back ache. Sometimes I get random pinch like pains in my abdomen. Don't know what to think of it!

Good luck to everyone on their TTC journey :)

saze4 · 18/08/2018 12:11

Faint positive or evap? :( can anyone see it

Starting the two week wait again. Anyone else? Pleeeaaase be the month 🤞
Thethreeandme · 18/08/2018 12:50

@saze4 omg congratulations!!! That's no evap line!!!!

saze4 · 18/08/2018 14:10

@Thethreeandme thank you! I still dont believe it haha

pandoraphile · 18/08/2018 15:48

Shouldn't it be forming a cross on the right window?

Triskaidekaphilia · 18/08/2018 22:25

@Owlpatrol I've been unreasonably moody too. Think I should avoid people til AF comes by this point!

Welcome @ridashahzad, fingers crossed for you.

I can see it @saze4, congratulations!
@pandoraphile the vertical line is faint but it is forming a cross.

Triskaidekaphilia · 19/08/2018 11:17

Having all the PMT signs now. My skin is awful and my boobs really hurt- AF needs to hurry up already so we can move onto the next month!

It's possible that next month I will ovulate while on holiday, which should be good because we usually end up DTD daily on holiday Grin

SH1148 · 19/08/2018 13:40

I'm ttc 2nd child. Been trying for around 4 years. I'm on cycle day 40. Been having cramps for around 2 weeks on and off, just over a week ago for a couple of days I was really dizzy even when just laying in bed, had a couple of horrible headaches. I have had watery discharge today-Alot! And nipple itchy on and off. Scared to take a test don't want anymore dissapointment! Was thinking of trying the new conceive plus!

Momma22 · 19/08/2018 15:23

Well, I'm now CD 28, not really thought about it or noticed any symptoms because I'm away until Tuesday. Should be due on my period sometime around now, but no sore boobs, no cramps, no nothing! Keep thinking I've started AF because I have tonnes of creamy CM, and sorry if this is tmi, but I just feel wet all the time. Cervix has risen so high I can't really touch it to tell whether it's firm/soft, open/closes etc.

I know I said in previous posts that I don't really know what it feels like to be pregnant in the early days, despite being pregnant twice before? But I really do have this odd hunch that i am pregnant right now? Don't know why? Sticking to my guns and not testing until at least Tuesday!

Oohhh @Momma22 it's a good sign no? I thought I had implantation bleeding but I think it's turning into AF now...it was light yesterday but t's turning bright red which is not a good sign...still spotting though that is so annoying, either be there or don't but don't give me false hope AF!!!
I got dry before AF was due to I'd say your situation is still good...keeping fingers crossed only two more days for you then!!

I remember I had a similar experience than I'm having now when we started trying for DD...we didn't really check the dates in July 2015 and AF took ages to come and then was spotting for three days... Whereas usually it's just there, you know. AHH dear. Unless it completely stops tonight then I'll have to see you all around next month...argh, I just want to know!!

FlapJackered · 19/08/2018 20:51

@Momma22 that sounds really promising!! Fingers crossed for you for Tuesday! I have no idea how you are waiting!

@Triskaidekaphilia are you testing tomorrow? If so will keep everything crossed for you!

I am testing next Sunday if I can hold out. I stupidly brought a test on holiday with me so I will be sitting on my hands on Saturday if AF hasn't arrived 😂
