We've only been trying since June. So not that long, but it's still frustrating that it hasn't happened yet. I was hoping to have a summer baby, as most of my family have birthdays in winter. Would have been nice to balance it out a bit.
My cramps have got worse, so I'm thinking I'll have a negative again this month šŸ˜” x

Dosmamas · 16/10/2018 17:31

@SenoraSurf how exciting. Fingers crossed for you! I think @Rightnow1245 is also the 27th aswell

bunhead34 · 16/10/2018 18:28

@Rightnow1245 @SenoraSurf I'm then 27th as well, fingers crossed!
I got the static smiley face on opk Saturday and Sunday, dtd Thursday Sunday and Monday. Hopefully that will do the trick. I've a feeling it won't have tho 😐

Mumof4andahalf · 16/10/2018 18:28

@Abzi91 it was very faint then the next negative....I'm refusing to test again for another week although I feel crampy so sure af is on way, fingers crossed for everyone else xx

Mumof4andahalf · 16/10/2018 19:01

@Soph4321 I know it's hard not testing too early but when I got my positive in August I tested twice on my due date and day after and it was negative, I tested 5 days after af was due on a clear blue and it was positive but still faint, frer was a strong positive 2 days later so don't give up hope if it's negative šŸ’•

Mumof4andahalf · 16/10/2018 19:04

@Rightnow1245 I got a neg after the positive 😢 I think af is due tomorrow if I count the first day of mmc as day 1 of the cycle.
Leaving testing until the weekend as feel crampy now....let's hope some of us do get that positive this month

Decgal88 · 16/10/2018 19:07

Hi ladies hope AF stays away for all of us and we get some positives! im due this weekend although i have had sore boobs for 2 weeks (dont usually have this) and been feeling sick crampy the last couple if days, i shoukd also mentioned i started taking pregnacare conception 3 weeks ago, so not sure if its due to this is anyone taking pregnacare and had these symptoms? thank you Smile

Soph4321 · 16/10/2018 20:06

Thanks mumof4andahalf, that's good to know. I'll bear it in mind if I get a negative this weekend.

Decgal88 last month I was sure I was pregnant because I had the same symptoms as you,and was actually sick a couple of times before I tested. But it was negative. I didn't take pregnacare, I was taking a different brand of fertility vitamins xx

Decgal88 · 17/10/2018 09:00

Thanks Soph4321, so AF showed last night Sad which is odd as its a good 4-5 days early making my cycle this month just 27 days! i think im going to stop taking pregnacare im sure this had something to do with a short cycle and giving me those ā€˜pregnant like symptoms’ ive also read they tend to mess yoir cycle up which is the last thing i want! folic acid and vit d combo i think from now on Smile

SwimSwim · 17/10/2018 09:36

Hi All,

Is it ok if I join too?

TTC #2
Age 36
Cycle 1
DPO 3

I thought I'd be all relaxed about the second time but the 2ww is already dragging!

SenoraSurf · 17/10/2018 12:17

Im totally mad.
I'm on CD17 and the cramps are real niggely today. Suspected ovulation on CD13/14 and DTD on CD12 and CD16. Though, clue says ovulation was CD15. Literally convincing myself that it's happening like an absolute lunatic. Symptom spotting is totally frustrating, I know it's silly and wrong but still isn't stopping me ļæ¼ god only knows how I'll be in a weeks time!
Is anyone else being this crazy so soon into the TWW?!

waitingforbaby2 · 17/10/2018 12:26

@SenoraSurf I was like this last month even thought I had only just had my implant out and wasn't even officially trying intil this month but I'm trying so hard to ignore things this time round AF Is due on the 27.10

SenoraSurf · 17/10/2018 12:35

@waitingforbaby2 we are cycle friends! I'm due 27th too ļæ¼ I feel so stupid but can't help but justify every single little feeling and put it down to potential baby. I'm the same with lottery tickets, I'm convinced I've won as soon as I've bought the damn thing!

waitingforbaby2 · 17/10/2018 13:21

@SenoraSurf it's not stupid this TTC business is stressful how long have you been trying for is this ur 1st this will be my 2nd

wimsywon · 17/10/2018 13:30

Is it possible to ovulate 9 days after mc?? Been testing since cd8 because really don't want to miss it now that my cycle is mixed up after mc. The opk was darkest on cd9, 10, 11 then gradually fading since. Would've normally ov'd on cd14 but is it possible to ov that soon after a medical mc? (Hpt have been negative since cd7) any ideas? I'm flumuxed Confused

cherrylo86 · 17/10/2018 13:38

Totally new to all of this so bear with me! Been TTC from middle of September whilst on honeymoon. I was on pill for 15 years and come off earlier this year to find my natural cycle again and my period had become very very light and sometimes non-existent due to stress. Had blood tests etc. and everything was normal. Had first proper period after pill at end of July (90 days after I came off pill) and then didn't get another until 13th Sep so I think I am still irregular but the good news is that my period became very normal again and not barely there as they used to be. So I have not really got a clue when I am ovulating. I have been trying to check my CM but not the best at interpreting it yet. I have been using Flo and Clue apps to add as much info as I can but not sure how correct they are as they predicted my last period would be on 27th Sep but it came along a week earlier.... They reckon my ovulation date is on Friday and we are at it every day just in case!!! Wink

If my AF was regular I would have been due on Sat just gone so I took a test Sunday but it was BFN so ill wait until next week to poss do another as like I said, no idea when I am actually ovulating. Do the ovulation testing kits work???

Sorry for going on!

sav89 · 17/10/2018 14:08

Hey SwimSwim and waitingforbaby2 hope you don't mind if i join but i'm basically due on similar time to you! My stats:

TTC #1
Age 29
Cycle 5
DPO 3

Had an HSG last month and they said everything was fine and tubes weren't blocked. Some ladies have said they got pregnant soon after the test but trying not to get my hopes up too much.

Dtd on my birthday (14th) which is when i got a solid smiley on CB ov test. Hoping for the best birthday present of them all Smile

Terrible symptom spotter, the past 5 months I've convinced myself i'm pregnant each time then absolutely devastated when AF shows Blush Already obsessing over it this month and still got a long way to go.

When is everyone planning on testing? Or are you all waiting to see if AF comes?

Rightnow1245 · 17/10/2018 14:21

Welcome to all the newbies! I’m glad I started this thread now 😊 all are welcome to join!
Good idea to wait to test Mumof4andahalf fingers crossed for you 😊

So many of us are testing on the 27th 😊
I’m driving myself a little crazy with this whole TTC business 😬

Who’s is everyone day? X

Rightnow1245 · 17/10/2018 14:29

wimsywon no idea if you can ovulate that soon after MC.. I’m sure it can happen tho x

Rightnow1245 · 17/10/2018 14:32

sav89 I was going to wait until AF is due but that could all change if I have more symptoms lol

SwimSwim · 17/10/2018 15:55

@sav89 I'm the same with the symptom spotting. I've been feeling really tired this past few days but it'll just be the cold that's been going around our house! šŸ™ˆ I will be waiting to see if AF appears and not testing until then, if she doesn't. I'll drive myself crazy if I test any earlier I think.

@Rightnow245 my Flo app says AF is due on 29th for me, so I'm a few days behind you. Thanks for starting this thread!!

Rightnow1245 · 17/10/2018 16:31

swimswimNo worries! It’s nice to talk to people going through the same thing as me 😊 I’m also on 3dpo but my luteal phase is much shorter hence why af is due before you 😬 I ovulated so late this month tho so I might be a little off with my dates tho.. plus I’m still breastfeeding so I know that can effect it! We are literally the same I’m only on cycle 1 and we have a DS already! How old is your LO? X

OP posts:
waitingforbaby2 · 17/10/2018 17:23

@sav89 I will normallywait till af however this month I will test on the 26th as we go away for the weekend with family and want to no if I should avoid drinking or not as they don't know I'm TTC but I'm not sure how I will get away with not drinking without them guessing if I do get a BFP as I don't want to tell people straight away

SwimSwim · 17/10/2018 17:42

*@Rightnow1245 I'm still breastfeeding too!! 😁 My DD is 22 months, so only feeding once a day, at bedtime, so I don't think that's affecting my cycle too much. Although saying that, my cycles vary anything between 24 and 33 days now, so it could be that. That also means my dates could be a little bit out for me too, but just playing that bit by ear.

Mumof4andahalf · 17/10/2018 17:59

@wimsywon I am sure I ovulated 12 days after so anything's possible
