Anybody else? I'm on CD16, pretty sure I ovulated over the past day or two, now for the long frustrating wait to POAS! Why is it so hard to resist for 14 measly days?!

We are TTC #2 and this is our first cycle of trying.

@ChikiTIKI @cupcakesandglitter @LondonKez

Thanks so much ladies! It still doesn't feel real! I think I will be testing a few more times over the next few days just to make triple sure.

Really hopeful that this is a lucky thread and we see a lot more BFP's over the coming days 🙏🏻 xx

LottieB87 · 27/09/2018 21:19

@MummytoA20 CONGRATS!!

Good luck everyone!!

Fae1989 · 28/09/2018 07:11

Congratulations @MummytoA20! X

ChikiTIKI · 28/09/2018 07:22

Good morning everyone. I'm praying for some more BFPs for our group over the weekend. Thinking of you all xxx

LondonKez · 28/09/2018 07:39

I second that @chikitiki fx for you all this weekend 💖

LottieB87 · 28/09/2018 08:08

Good luck everyone for this weekend!

I'm def out, temp plummeted today - why do I keep checking?? I'm giving my thermometer to my sister tomorrow to stop myself from now on!

AF will be showing up later today or first thing tomorrow. This month I've bought the conceive plus men & womens fertility support vits and will be using preseed. Having a chat with DP tonight about trying to DTD every other day in the fertile window. Surely it's not too much of an ask...

Come on BFPS!!!!

LondonKez · 28/09/2018 08:32

@LottieB87 Sorry to hear that. I totally understand the heartbreak at the temp drop and yet I'm back temping. I also just bought the pregnacare/wellman conception vitamins! And waiting for the new delivery of preseed! Last month was the first time we've used it 'properly', but only on ov day, was using it externally other than that. We've decided to use it the syringe way for the full fw this month. Better hurry up and arrive, fw due to start on Sunday!

Fae1989 · 28/09/2018 08:33

Morning ladies

Hope everyone is ok? Not been on much as yesterday was manic.

@LottieB87 - hope you’re ok. Sounds like you’ve got a very busy positive plan going forward, I’ve got everything crossed for next month for you :)

Tmi but I’ve woken up feeling rough and think I’ve got a UTI ☹️. Good luck to all those testing this weekend! My FRERs are due to arrive today so hopefully test tomorrow (I’ve never been as nervous about testing as I am this time!)

LottieB87 · 28/09/2018 08:52

@LondonKez it's like an addiction isn't it! My sister is going to start ttc soon so I've told her to start temping to get an idea of her cycle first. So I'm physically removing the problem! (she's a bit more chilled than me.. ok a LOT more chilled). Hope your stuff turns up on time and good luck with the vits! Haven't told DP this is what he's taking yet, can't wait to see his face - the conceive plus ones for men are baby blue capsules - LOL - actually I just looked at the wellman ones, they're half the price and have better nutrients! And aren't in cartoon colours. Ordering the same as you and sending the conceive plus back - they're too embarassing!

@Fae1989 Thank you lovely, yes I go into practical mode! I'm impatient and like to make things happen - TTC is so out of my control, it's torture. Sorry you've woken up feeling rough :( really hope it clears up, I hate UTIs so much. I've got everything crossed and hoping so much for a good result for you tomorrow!

Love to you all xx

GlamourBear · 28/09/2018 09:17

Ladies I am very confused. Been spotting for the last 48 hours on and off. Got a faint bfp this morning but I'm concerned that I'm still spotting. Chemical pregnancy?

Carastarchild · 28/09/2018 10:01

Glamour omg! Sent a picture of the test. My mum said she spotted with my brother and he's 22 Smile

Congratulations 🎉 Mummy I am absolutely delighted for you 🤗

Heading to the beach and trying not to knicker watch.

Will read back, as I hate jumping in and out.

cupcakesandglitter · 28/09/2018 10:07

Congrats @GlamourBear ❤️❤️❤️

Morning @Fae1989 xx

So I called 111 last night because my anxiety was through the roof and I started having some pain around my ovary - So a nurse called me back and said a doctor looked at my symptoms and advised me to go to A&E. Didn't get home until 5 (and I'm up now for a bloody meeting 😩) but they did a pee test and a blood test and nope I'm not pg. The doctor said the pain I'm having could 'just' be ovary pain? Sent me home with no advice really so waste of time. I suppose if bloods have confirmed BFN there's not much I can do... xx

LottieB87 · 28/09/2018 11:34

@GlamourBear congrats on the BFP!! I'm sorry that it's come with the anxiety of spotting - I'm sure all will be fine though!! Keep us updated (with a pic!!)

@cupcakesandglitter omg that sounds horrendous! How are you feeling now??

cupcakesandglitter · 28/09/2018 13:27

@LottieB87 I feel like crap haha, I don't know what's going on with my body and I hate it xx

GlamourBear · 28/09/2018 14:33

Thanks all! Camera on my phone is shocking as I'm waiting on a new one so photos are too grainy! Got another faint faint positive at lunch which is 3 today. Still concerned about the spotting so can't be excited as I'd like to be right now. Will of course keep you updated and I'm planning on getting a digital at the weekend if the cheapies still showing positive!

@cupcakesandglitter so sorry to hear you had an awful night. Sending big hugs. How are you feeling?

Carastarchild · 28/09/2018 14:37

Chiki that's terrible about your car. I hope you get it sorted asap.

Lottie I hear you! I feel like the months are flying by and I am quickly approaching 37. Sorry that your temp dipped, but it's not over until AF arrives.

Anxious good to hear from you. Fx your body will start regulating itself shortly.

Fae have you managed not to poas. I am 10 dpo and won't be able to test until Sunday morning if AF stays away. I started spotting approximately this time last month. Fx for us all 💖

TwittleBee · 28/09/2018 14:39

GlamourBear hoping so much that it isnt a chemical for you. Really hope its late implantation spotting? lots of love and hope

cupcakesandglitter urgh! so sorry to read you had a shit time at A&E and so annoyed that you were dismissed as having "just" ovary pain. Bloody hate it when theyre like that! (FYI my "just" ovary pain turned out to be retained placenta so I am a bit over sensitive to these situations now!)

Okay so I have been feeling nauseous all day, yesterday and today been having shooting pains and I just generally feel all odd. Really trying to not get my hopes up as I am only approx 8dpo! I know I am being crazy.

Carastarchild · 28/09/2018 14:40

Cupcakes that sound quiet an ordeal 😫 I had a cyst burst a few days after I got married. I remember being in agony. I paid for a private scan and the doc said the cyst had burst and it would heal. I hadn't been over the pill long when this occurred. Fx you start to feel better soon.

Carastarchild · 28/09/2018 14:41

Off the pill not over the pill.... auto predictive text 😣

Carastarchild · 28/09/2018 14:58

Fae I forget to mention that I have bwwn peeing mad 🙈 I actually thought I was getting an UTI as well.

Glamour the cheap tests might simply not be as sensitive. Fx for a stronger line 💜

cupcakesandglitter · 28/09/2018 15:30

@GlamourBear @TwittleBee @Carastarchild thankyou ❤️ I'm just going to try and put it to the back of my mind for now - if AF turns up it'll be onto a new cycle, if not I'll test again next week. Just going to focus on looking after myself 😊 the doctor was bloody pathetic though, did my cannula wrong and all sorts 🙃 x

MrsRRC · 28/09/2018 15:55

Hi Ladies,

I’m out but something is most definitely not right….

This is my first cycle ttc so I am something of a novice, but I do know my body…

My app said I ov’d on day 16 we dtd on day 10, 13 and 18, 20, 24 and 27 (a bit all over the place as my partner has been away).
I spotted (which I never do) on day 24-27 we thought this might be implantation.
BFN on days 26, 27 and 30
I was expecting the usual pre AF spotting on days 28-30, this never came.
In the early hours of day 30 I woke up with quite severe cramps and backache and on day 31 AF arrived with no warning.

My AF, is usually, aside from the 3 days of spotting, minimal in terms of cramping, I get it for maybe half an hour when my period first starts and I get a twinge in my back when I get into bed but that’s literally it.

I have had fairly bad back ache and pulling in my lower stomach and mild nausea early evening, on and off since day 20 and this ramped up on day 31 when AF arrived along with the cramping which has also been comparatively severe (although still a light flow as always) and today I have been feeling really light headed with a weird sensation in my thighs, as if I have been doing lots of squats! I just don’t feel right and I don’t know what to do, I’d feel a right wally rocking up at the doctors. Could it be an early loss that was never picked up by the HPT? Should I retest? I’m totally at a loss!

MrsRRC · 28/09/2018 15:56

Congrats @glamourbear that’s fab news!

cupcakesandglitter · 28/09/2018 16:20

@MrsRRC sounds similar to what I had last cycle - AF came early at CD24 for me and was the worst pain I'd felt and didn't last anywhere as near/heavy as my usual AF. I gave my doctor a call and tbh he didn't say too much, just to monitor it for a few months (sometimes they aren't the most useful) but he said that the pressure of TTC for cycle 1 could've caused me to stress my body and it acting abnormally. Sorry if that doesn't help, but I'd give your doctor a ring just to be sure xx

MrsRRC · 28/09/2018 16:38

@cupcakesandglitter Thank you that really does help. I’m going to go to the doctors on Monday if things do not improve over the weekend.

It sounds like you had a bit of an ordeal last night, I hope you are feeling better and have a relaxing weekend. Xx
