EmmTTC well let’s hope next cycle is your lucky one! Sorry to hear about your first baby I can’t imagine how hard that must be for you šŸ’
Ffhh I totally get how you are feeling i don’t know why some people can be relaxed about it! That Defo isn’t me 😬
wimsywon Sorry to hear bout you MC
Yes this was happening to me this month I was getting faint lines until my positive onCD21 so just keep testing the positive will come 😊 twice a day is a good idea I was doing 3 at one point lol
gingerlou84 sorry to hear about your MC too.. let’s hope next cycle you have more luck! Was you tracking ovulation?

@Rightnow1245 AF is due the 27th how about you? If will be nice to have a TWW buddy

Abzi91 · 15/10/2018 16:50

Thanks @Rightnow1245! Will keep you guys updated with what result I get! I'm trying not to tell people we're trying, otherwise I feel so much pressure like you said šŸ™ˆ
I wish I could relax and enjoy this time, but that's definitely not me!

@Ffhh Like you, I don't have any friends going through this right now, so it's good having everyone here 😊

@EmmTTC sorry to hear AF turned up and so sorry about your first baby! Fingers crossed November will be your month šŸ¤žšŸ½ā¤ļø

Sorry to hear about your MC @wimsywon Thanksļæ¼ hope you get a positive on OPK soon!

Sorry to hear that AF started and for your MC in the summer @gingerlou84. Really hope you get a BFP next monthšŸ¤žšŸ½ā¤ļø

wimsywon · 15/10/2018 17:34

Thank you. Funny how these opk change in one day! It was negative this morning but now i have 2distinct lines!! Told hubby we're doing it!! Lol i'm not missing any opportunity šŸ¤žšŸ˜

gingerlou84 · 15/10/2018 17:44

Thank you. I was sort of tracking in that we use NFP so I’m pretty in tune to what is going on with my cycle but it has all been less predictable since my miscarriage.

Mumof4andahalf · 15/10/2018 18:09

I had a Mmc 4 weeks ago, cycle not returned to normal yet, think I'm due a/f on Wednesday, been testing as feel pregnant but so far bfn ā˜¹ļø although 1 was faintly positive....I hate this waiting around
I seem to get really late positives, the 1 confirming last pregnancy was 5 days after af due and was faint so holding out hope for this month

GreyC · 15/10/2018 20:07

Had a positive opk today; so BD today and will push for tomorrow baha. Poor DP.

So hopefully I will ovulate tomorrow! Eep

Dosmamas · 15/10/2018 20:37

@EmmTTC sorry to hear about your heartache, stay strong even though it must be so hard šŸ˜–.

We have had our 2nd DTD so that's it for us this month sperm wise. Settling in for the TWW. Hoping for my BFP 27.10.2018 šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ¤žšŸ¼šŸ¤žšŸ¼

SenoraSurf · 15/10/2018 21:09

@Mumof4andahalf sorry for your loss, fingers crossed all will settle down so you can track properly and know where you're at. Thanks

@Dosmamas we have the same tww! Fingers crossed for the 27th Grin

Soph4321 · 15/10/2018 21:51

Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie and would like to join in.

I've been following discussions on here since June when we decided to get my coil removed and try to conceive baby number 2 😊
I'm on cycle day 19 of 28 and hoping for a positive this month šŸ¤ž

I just wanted to chat with people in the same boat xxx

Abzi91 · 15/10/2018 22:56

So I caved and took a hpt that I knew would be pointless because my AF isn't due till Saturday but the cramps and twinges made me hopeful.. It was a BFN, which I expected but still feel disappointed.. I was interrogating the non-existent line with my phone torch for ages! šŸ™ˆ

Welcome to all newbies and fingers crossed for you all! šŸ˜ŠšŸ¤žšŸ½

Soph4321 · 15/10/2018 23:19

I did that last month @abzi91 and my other half said "what a waste of a test" 🤣
What kind of cramps and twinges are you having? I'm due AF on the 24th, and I'm having lots of full aches followed by sharp stabs on one side of my abdomen. I guess we'll be testing around the same time x

Rightnow1245 · 15/10/2018 23:42

Welcome newbie when is your test day soph? It’s always good to have people to talk to!
waitingforbaby2 My AF is due on the 25th October but I w probably test early lol šŸ˜‚
gingerlou84 oh yeah it will take a little while to regulate again but it will sort itself out 😊
Sorry to hear that abz it’s still so early so stay positive šŸ¤žšŸ½
Mumof4andahalf sorry to hear about your MC.. that’s sounds like it could be your month if you got a faint line? When are you testing again?

Rightnow1245 · 15/10/2018 23:44

Soph4321 You’re test day is a day before mine! I only just ovulated tho so no pain or cramps here šŸ¤”

Abzi91 · 16/10/2018 07:22

@Soph4321 they seem to be similar cramps that I get when my AF is due and also some dull pains on my left side, but I've been having them intermittently throughout last week and usually I only get them the day before I'm due!

Thanks @Rightnow1245! I knew it was early, but hopefully it means I've got it out of my system now and will be able to hold off till the end of the week! How are you feeling? Have the positive OPKs stopped?

So sorry to hear about your MC @Mumof4andahalf ļæ¼the faint positive line sounds promising šŸ¤žšŸ½

Soph4321 · 16/10/2018 07:25

@rightnow1245 when did u ovulate? I tried opks for the first time this month, and I ovulate Wednesday. I'll be testing early on Sunday though, because I think my partner is working away next week.
Although I'll try not to get my hopes up, as I've woken up this morning with a lot more cramps. So I think it might just be preparing for AF 😭 x

Soph4321 · 16/10/2018 07:30

@abzi91 fingers crossed for you šŸ¤žthey sound the same cramps as mine, but I have my twinge on the right side.
I get what you mean though, I usually get AF cramps a day or two before I'm due. And then the other time is on ovulation week. So this inbetween stage of cramping is confusing. Xx

Rightnow1245 · 16/10/2018 08:20

Abz yeah try and hold off just until the end of the week 😊
abzand soph yes I have stopped getting positives so im taking it I ovulated on cd22 which makes it Sunday but I was only able to DTD leading up to ovulation because I now have thrush 😬 so don’t know how likely it will be I’ll get a BFP.. last time with DS we only DTD once around ovulation because OH had man flu and I got a BFP so lets hope šŸ¤žšŸ½
soph how did you find using the opk? Hopefully you’ll get your bfp on Sunday 😊
How is everyone else feeling?

OP posts:
Soph4321 · 16/10/2018 09:06

Rightnow1245 isn't it fascinating how many people actually ovulate at different times to what that say is "average"
When I did my 1st day opk it was negative, next day light positive, day after darker positive, next day negative. We did DTD every other day leading up to the opk testing and after too. So hopefully it's worked.
It's funny how I got pregnant last time by forgetting to take 2 days of pills. But this time it's taking months of trying. I guess we're both older now, my youngest is nearly 6 x

EmmTTC · 16/10/2018 10:32

Thanks for the lovely messages ā¤ļø

So many of you in the TWW! I have my fingers crossed for all of you. Although AF was a massive disappointment! I don’t miss the TWW! It’s the hardest part of the cycle. So long and I feel such desperation! Hopefully you will all get your BFPS soon! How exciting!

waitingforbaby2 · 16/10/2018 11:37

@Rightnow1245 I think I will probably test on the 26th as I'm going on a weekend away with family so I wanna know either way so I can a drink or not also if I do get a BFP or I'm not certain how can I avoid drinking as my cousin has already mentioned bringing a bottle with her for us to share

Abzi91 · 16/10/2018 15:00

Thanks @Soph4321 fingers crossed for you too! šŸ¤žšŸ½
yeah the inbetween stage gets you hopeful, hence the test yesterday!

Ahh that's frustrating @Rightnow1245! Fingers crossed you get the same luck as last time and DTD once is enough for a BFP! šŸ˜ŠšŸ¤žšŸ½

Rightnow1245 · 16/10/2018 16:13

Yeah it’s crazy how everyone is different Soph4321 well you have it well covered then! How long have you been TTC? Yes age does play a big part in it too.. I’m sure it will happen soon šŸ¤žšŸ½
waitingforbaby2 oh yeah best to do it before if you’re planning on drinking! My sister in law did the same thing as you and got a bfn and drank all weekend and got a bFP on Monday 😬 but what can you do if you test before!
abz lets hope so but I doubt I’ll be as lucky as last time šŸ¤žšŸ½šŸ¤žšŸ½šŸ¤žšŸ½
