[Rightnow1245]

So I’m currently on day cycle 12 not due ovulation yet but I should be in a few days! Trying for my second is anyone else wants to join this tread to talk about TTC come on over.
I have been tracking my cycles for a few months now but we are only trying from this month.
Please feel free to share your TTC story xx

@Rightnow1245 I have a feeling that because we didn't capture our exact ovulation day it has thrown my chart into a bit of a spin. Fertility Friend is saying that we are technically 8dpo because we most likely ovulated last Tuesday. I haven't asked anymore about the spotting from my partner. It causes arguments between us, her stance is "if there is any changes or symptoms I'll tell you, don't ask me" which is her final demand! 😂 it's not how I want it to be, but Its not my body and I don't want to be controlling. Basically I've had to take a back seat and just wait until AF properly turns up and then I will know for sure then I guess.

I'm pissed off aswell cause our tracking is messed up due to my partner refusing to take a Clearblue digital to pin point her ovulation day, so in reality we have no idea when exactly that occurred. We could of inseminated 6 days early for all we know. Anyway rant over!

I hope you girls are keeping positive, I have my fingers crossed for you, that's so cute @Rightnow1245 that you save the good HPT for Saturday. It's like a little ritual!

Hows everyone?
I think I'm atleast 10dpo now and just 'feeling' something...I ate a late lunch at 2pm today and now my stomach is so empty I can feel the acid. That was my earliest symptom with my son too....feeling hungry. Also feeling sleepy but that could just be the regular progesterone rise that happens before AF.

I have a clearblue test sitting in my room and I'm just too scared to use it...because at least until i don't test there is some kind of hope. Sigh!
I might wait a few more days as I'm not technically due AF for another week.

@keaps fingers crossed for your bfp 🤞🏼is flo an app think i have heard of this? for me and my partner its our first, I had the implant out beginning of July and used the pill for about a week after that so i guess you coukd say i have been properly ttc from August! really hope it happens this year for all of us xx

sorry i forgot to @ you @EmmTTC! is flo an app i think i have heard of it epuld you recommend it? This is my first and desperate for it to happen this year!! I had the implant for 3 years and had it removed beginning of July then i was on the pill for a week after that so i guess you could say i have been TTC from August! yes happy we are in this

Hi @Cloclopops sorry to hear AF came it came for me too last Tuesday! im currently on CD 9 and planning on using opk’s too! when are you going to start using them? I started taking folic acid and vit d combo about 5 weeks ago xx

@decgal88 I think I'll start using them Friday or Saturday as I usually ovulate CD 11 to 14. Are you supposed to use them twice a day? I haven't really looked into how to use them properly yet. And I'm scrolling through Amazon trying to figure out which supplements to buy... I didnt realise there were so many!

decgal I would start asap and maybe only twice then just wait until the line is almost a positive and then up it to three if you want! There no wrong or right just whatever works for you I guess .😊

samsward You’re so good for not testing I’m am so bad! FX for your bloods results! 🤞🏽

swimswim This TTW is awful I just want to know either way now! Hate being in limbo 😬 Im only on cycle 1! I need to get a grip I think 😂

Welcome cloclopops Welcome to the group sorry to hear about AF.. hopefully this cycle is your lucky one 🤞🏽

dosmamas That must be really hard for you to take a back seat!! Most women would be greatful for their partner to be so interested 😊 I would Defo recommend if you can persuade your partner to use the opk because you’re not DTD and you are using a doner so you’ll have a better chance if you need to pinpoint.. but I guess you know this!! That’s why you want her to do them 🤔

pink You’re so good not doing a test! Good that’s you’re getting the same symptoms! I’m not getting the same symptoms as last time which makes me feel like I’m out 😢

Hey all! So 5 days late and still no sign of AF or a bfp 🤦🏻‍♀️ I've had no symptoms at all, so don't think this is the month for us! I think I am coming down with the flu though. Nose is completely blocked up 😫

Fingers crossed for you for Saturday @Rightnow1245 🤞🏽🤞🏽 I hope you get your BFP!

Thanks @Decgal88 I'm just waiting for af to come now so I can get back to ttc! Keep me updated on how your first time with OPKs go, cos I'll probably order some as well!

Ditto to you @Cloclopops with OPKs! Sorry to hear AF came. Hope this cycle is the one for you 🤞🏽 I've been taking Superdrug own brand folic acid and vit d tablets for the past few days as recommended by the ladies here (had no idea about it either!)

It must be so frustrating and confusing for you right now @Dosmamas to not know what's going on! The female system is all over the place! So stressful 😫 hope it was just implantation bleeding and you still get your bfp 🤞🏽

Aww thanks @abzi, I hope you can sleep away the flu tonight! As they say, your not out til AF arrived so keeping my fingers crossed for you too!

@Rightnow1245 everything you said is true. She isn't spotting anymore. And no AF..she did a test today whilst I was at work and it was negative. We just have to wait and see now cause not knowing when she ovulated we really don't know how many DPO she is. Could be ten could be 8..who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Decgal88 yeah I love flo! You can add in DTD, symptoms, CM and look back at other months to compare. If just gives you the ‘norm’ ovulation day so to be specific I’d use OPKS if you wanna. It’s also got a really good pregnancy mode once you do fall pregnant. Let me know how the opks go! I’ve never used them.. and wouldn’t know where to start.

@pinkstar01 good on you for holding back on testing! That’s one thing I am terrible at and go through tests like crazy every month 🙄🙄 thank goodness they are pound shop ones or I’d be bankrupt!

I think its because it's been almost a year since I started ttc for #2..in the beginning i used to get excited and test before AF was due and always negative...so now I'm just scared of doing it! I'd rather wait than be disappointed :/

@pinkstar01 ah didn’t realise you’d been trying so long. Did you try for a while for your first? What do you use? Apps, opks, Cm? Or all of the above?

abz hope you’re feeling better! How frustrating for you..Let hope it’s just to early for a BFP!! do you know when you ovulated? Maybe you ovulated later? Is that possible? I can’t remember if you’re using OPK as there are so many ladies on this thread now lol

dosmamas yeah it’s a bit of a guessing game really! FX it’s just to early to show up on a test 😊

So today AF is officially due! I have some cramps but that’s not normal for me to be honest I don’t get any signs she’s coming 🤔 The only thing putting me off is that last time my nipples were so sore.. this time there’re not! I am breastfeeding so maybe that’s why as my and my nipples are always a little tender anyway from DS.. 14months of BF has taken its toll on them haahha

Thanks @Rightnow1245 I will start using the opk’s tomorrow morning as i will be on CD 11! Thanks @EmmTTC sounds good i may give it a go @Abzi hope something happens soon so you can carry on the ttc journey let me know how you get on! i will start using opk’s tomorrow so will let you know how i go

@Rightnow1245 fingers crossed these symptoms are the right ones! Are you defo gonna wait til Saturday ?

Let us know how you get on with them decgal

dosmamas yea I’m going to try and hold off.. I didn’t test today even tho AF was due today but I’m still only 10/11dpo so it’s still really early to test even if I was pregnant.. when will your partner test again?

Thanks @Dosmamas and @Decgal88!

I supposedly ovulated on the 6th @Rightnow1245, but it could have happened later because I had EWCM for a few days after as well.. I only used Flo and Clue for tracking! Will start OPKs with the next cycle.
Really hope those signs are good news for you!!🤞🏽😊

Will probably take another test tomorrow morning so let's see. Haven't taken one in the last two days! Will keep you guys updated.

Well, we couldn't hold off any longer and got a BFP tonight at 11dpo on a clear blue early response!! 😁😁 Been trying to attach a picture but it's not posting in the app. It's good to know my symptoms weren't all in my head! Very early days for us though.

Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone waiting to test and for those trying again next month. ❤️

@SwimSwim congrats hun thats great news really happy for you!! were you using opk?xx

Huge congratulations @SwimSwim 🎉🎉 so happy for you!!

Just had some really strong cramps, so went to check and AF has started with a vengeance. At least I know now and can start preparing for next cycle! I can relax from the obsession for a bit now 😂

Good luck to everyone else still waiting and to everyone about to start the next cycle 🤞🏽❤️

@swimswim congrats dear. So happy for you. I hope I get a BFP too. @abzi91 sorry AF came. Next month is already here. All the best people.

@swimswim CONGRATS🌹how exciting and good luck with the pregnancy!!!

@abz91 sorry to hear of AF. 😩😩 so hard but same boat so here for you!! And ready for next month!

Hey Ladies,

Only just joined and trying to seek some advice, all new to tracking my cycle and all this malarkey.
So here’s my story.

Been TTC for a few months now. Cycles usually on average of 27-28 days. So I’m 4 going into 5 days late for my AF. Tested 2 days ago and got BFN. Was very gutted to see that, I haven’t tested since as I’ve been waiting for AF to show. Still no sign, no common signs like my usual cramps, maybe a few nicks here and there nothing like normal. I’ve had on and off lower back ache which I don’t get at all with my AF. I’ve currently got thickish creamy CM, which has got thicker over the past few days. My nipples have been sensitive on and off. I’d usually get sore boobs with AF but I haven’t had anything like that.

So I’m coming into my fifth day late for my AF? What is going on? Am I completely out this month?

Would appreciate some advice from anyone. Thank you
