Starting the two week wait again. Anyone else? Pleeeaaase be the month 🤞

[Momma22]

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 .

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

I don't know @FlapJackered. I'm starting to feel like AF is definitely on the way now so I might leave it a few days to see if it turns up. Pretty sure I ovulated late and we missed it. :(

@Momma22 all sounds promising!

Af got me! I'll keep checking back and fx for those still testing this has been a lovely supportive thread so much girlies for this month see you on the September bus if any of your af come obviously I hope it doesn't! Xx

@Owlpatrol lots of prayers for your next cycle!

More AF cramping and no AF. It's not horrendously painful but it's so uncomfortable. Going to tes again tonight when my shopping comes but I feel like it's just going to be another BFN.

Sorry to hear that @Owlpatrol

@Triskaidekaphilia I'm 6 dpo today (I think) and getting AF-like cramping too along with a mild backache.

For some reason my sense of smell has somewhat heightened. My husband came home from the gym last night and I swear the apartment still smells of sweat which has never happened before .

I've made a resolution to not to test early at all this month. Just going to wait for AF. Let's see how long I last!

Thanks ladies xx

Hi ladies can I join you please? I've read all the posts on this thread today and send big hugs to all of you

First month off the pill (1 DC age 6 in December) and ttc... I knew it would not happen this month but then Glow said 5 days late.. AF jumped me as I was waiting on a test to develop! Cruel!! I was wiping and was like nah, you chose THIS 60 second window?! Of course it was never going to happen first time - took ages with DD1 - but you start thinking after 5 days resisting a BFN waste of money and emotions....... Ugh.

I feel like I have no right to feel sad as its been like 9 weeks(and I have dragged my feet coming off the pill despite DH wanting it for months) so I'm mad at myself too!

Good luck everyone!

Welcome @christinamarlowe !

@owlpatrol sorry to hear that, I'll probably see you in September!

AF or spotting whatever that was...was on and off since Saturday and has stopped now. It's done it in the past when it stops for a day and then comes back full force. I did a test this morning anyway and got bfn...so if AF doesn't start again tomorrow I'll see a doctor but I think that's it, it really should have picked up something at this stage, right?

Yep, I'll write myself off this turn...see you on the September thread ladies! Best of luck to you all with your expected bfp!

Little update on my situation, I'm CD30, still haven't tested yet, still have a lot of creamy CM, no sign of AF yet so feeling hopeful 🤞

I fly home later on tonight, so I think I'll pick up a pregnancy test in boots at the airport, then test with FMU tommorow. The suspense is killing me now!

Sorry to all of the ladies on this thread who recently got AF, hopefully September will be your month! Wishing you all the luck in the world! Thanks for all of your support this cycle! 😘

@ridashahzad I had the cramping since 5-6dpo too, but I have a uti so may have been because of that. I've just started antibiotics for it so I'll see in a few days if I still had cramping. I get the super-smell right before/during my periods but never that soon after ovulation so hopefully it's a good sign for you :)

@feerouge hmm, not sure how long after implantation you can get a bfp, so I don't know. How many DPO were you when it started?

@Momma22 good idea! All sounds like good signs!

I'm on CD33, still no sign of AF and I think the uti may have caused the cramping so still no idea when to expect AF. I'm hoping the uti may be what's caused the long cycle this time and not that I'm going back to long irregular ones every month!

Got everything crossed for you @Momma22!!

@Triskaidekaphilia I would have been between 10 and 14, hard to say, light spotting started a day before AF was due. The app I use (Flo) is quite good and always get my AF date spot on, so I'd expect it to be quite good on predicted ov. date too, only on this forum I've learned there's a lot more to it than predicting the date based on when last AF started...it's still light spotting today. I got discouraged because it started to turn red yesterday but then it stopped and it's back to brown and pink now. I won't get my hopes up til the end of the week, I think if there is no heavy flow then there's good reason to hope, but that can still happen between tomorrow and Sunday...suspense! I've read that in that case it's good to way for the 6th week as hgc levels will be high then and tests should come up positive if I am pregnant.
Oohhh the suspense ...

@feerouge doesn't sound like IB but doesn't sound like AF either so fingers crossed for you! I've also heard of plenty of people not getting their a positive til 6 weeks. That's why even though most of me is sure AF is on the horizon, there's this annoying little glimmer of hope...

Right so, just because I'm really impatient I took a test as sound as I got home!

Could not get hold of a FRER in the airport just boots own brand which come in a pack of 2. I think I got a very faint line! Although when I did the test the pink dye seemed to leek across the screen if you know what I mean? And took ages to dry so I'm a bit unsure as to whether to trust it? I took the test apart to have a look at the strip and I think I can still see the faintest of faint lines but not as dark as it was when it wasn't broken apart?

This was taken about an hour ago, can not sleep thinking about this now, despite the fact that I am absolutely knackered after a two hour flight delay 😒

Gonna mess around editing the pics of the tests then upload them so you ladies can tell me what you think ...

Right so this is the original test before i took it apart, if the pink dye didn't kinda disperse as it was drying I woulda been 100000% this was positive but it just don't know?

Here's the pic of the strip, when I took the test apart

Ah @Momma22 that does look positive but like you said I am not sure why it would disappear like that? I would pronto get a first response one and test! Keeping everything crossed for you!!

Saying that the line is still there, just fainter so I reckon that it is there!! (tentative congratulations?!) but I would get searching for a Fr one soon!

That's it AF is here now, in a sense it's a relief now I know where I stand.

@momma22 I can definitely see a faint line here! Like the other ladies said, get another one done soon and hope all goes well for you! Xx

Sorry to hear a few of you are out this month.

@momma22 I really hope that this morning brings a definite positive!

I'm 10 dpo with a bfn this morning, temps still elevated and randomly had some ewcm yesterday, just have to wait and see what tomorrow brings, my LP is normally 11 days so kind of expecting af to arrive tomorrow

And if staring at a fertility friend chart got you pregnant I'd be having octuplets!

@seastargirl @ferouge @flapjackered
Morning Took the other test this morning, still a very faint line, I think?

As a matter of fact I'd say it's actually much fainter than last nights, for whatever reason? So maybe last night there was a problem with the dye running across the test?

Could be a BFN and I'm just seeing things

Do you know what on second thought I actually do think this looks more negative than positive
