So I think I'm in the tww, had a positive OPK on Monday afternoon and negative since so think I may be 1 or 2 dpo

Not sure we've done enough this month so will be surprised if it does happen .

Anyone want to join me in the wait?

@ReginaPhalange89 When I was pregnant I had more discharge in the first trimester than normal?

mrsof20118 · 14/11/2018 18:37

@LongLegsStarryEyes the 99% relates to later I believe so just in that small percentage! Still gives me hope if I get a negative on the weekend that it could still be positive a few days later.

Hello everyone!

I hope it is ok to join. I ovulated very late on Saturday and I am 4dpo. It is our second cycle TTC after a miscarriage in July.

Good luck to everyone!

Mseddy · 14/11/2018 19:20

Welcome @mrsmargot. Sorry for your loss. Fingers crossed for you this cycle!! It's going well with BFP's in this thread so far!

MrsMargot · 14/11/2018 19:55

Thank you @Mseddy ! I am very much looking forward to contribute towards the good results of the group! However I must say we only dtd a couple of times (last time Wednesday before Saturday/Sunday OV) and I do not have much hope. Quite depressing really. Or maybe this moodiness is a preggo sign 🙄😂😂!

mrsof20118 · 14/11/2018 20:41

Welcome @mrsmargot and also sorry to hear about your loss. Ttc is so tough sometimes x

mrsof20118 · 14/11/2018 20:42

I got very moody last month the day before af. Tonight I’m exhausted and nearly burst into tears when I couldn’t park my car. Hoping it’s not af creeping in

thejollytrolleydolly · 14/11/2018 21:00

So I've been assessing my symptoms and I'm thinking that my "period" pains and symptoms I had a couple of days ago may have been implantation? I was ADAMANT that I was coming on but today - nothing! It would have been around 9dpo (roughly) and I have no idea when we have dtd this month as we've not been actively trying! I googled period cramps a week before period due and the tinterweb is suggesting possible pregs so maybe this month is my month? Got a bfn this morn but if I only implanted yesterday or day before I doubt I would have high enough hormone levels yet anyway?

GOOD LUCK to everyone this month I have a good feeling 🥰✨

Mseddy · 14/11/2018 21:52

I feel like I need to make a confession. I have peed on 4 IC's in like 2 days! I'm only 8/9dpo. I just can't help it!!! I came home from work and rwaisied I hadn't peed since lunch time and figured why let such a good hold go to waste! Actually lost the plot over here! Send help!

Mseddy · 14/11/2018 21:53

stroan · 14/11/2018 22:01

Can I join in?

I’m either 9 or 10 dpo today. Had a squinter on sunday at 6/7 dpo but assuming now that it was an evap line or something. Totally obsessed with testing - IC at least twice a day. Trying so hard not to use the one FRER I have because I feel that if it’s negative, I won’t handle it very well.

Symptom spotting like mad - nausea, cramps, tender and sore boobs since Saturday. The last two days I have been SO emotional and have really struggled to cope with a tricky toddler. And a really dodgy tummy. Food aversion too - tonight I only ate about a quarter of my meal in Nando’s. That has NEVER happened.

Congratulations on the BFPs. So exciting to see, and gives me hope!

MrsMargot · 14/11/2018 22:14

I have a question for you ladies. My clear blue digital OV test gave me the static smiley on Saturday morning. This is supposed to mean that in 12 to 24 hours you will ovulate (I think?). I had a left over reader from last month and I did one on Sunday morning too and it gave me the empty circle (low fertility). Now I am wondering whether the test on Sunday was wrong or I indeed ovulated on Saturday early hence the next day I had the empty circle. If anyone can help me resolve this mystery it would be greatly appreciated!

Cinnabonbons · 14/11/2018 22:20

Hi All
Its my fifth month trying, first month using opk kits, i am 6dpo, however im not feeling any symptoms of early pregnancy at all😩 so i doubt im preggers this month, can only dream.....

liquiddiamonds · 14/11/2018 22:34

Been having cramps for the last couple of hours, think period is on its way Sad

Welcome and good luck to the new joiners we've had tonight, quite a few of us now!

TerriB84 · 15/11/2018 00:09

Hi all,

Another new joiner if that’s ok?

Currently 4DPO assuming ovulation on Saturday after getting my static smiley on Friday. First month TTC after an early Miscarriage last month.

@MrsMargot the Sunday test gave you an empty circle because you used a different reader which meant it had no baseline to reference. I hope this clears up the mystery Smile.

Good luck to everyone still waiting and congrats to those who got their BFP’s. x

MrsMargot · 15/11/2018 07:08

Thank you very much @TerriB84. It does make sense. The reader was not new (used it last month) but the baseline makes sense. I am very sorry for your mc... it sucks (fellow sufferer).

Mseddy · 15/11/2018 11:18

Waking up with a horrible cold is surely a sign I'm pregnant right? And not just because it's November and I work with sick people! Symptom spotting to the extreme!!

ReginaPhalange89 · 15/11/2018 11:28

Morning ladies !

So I told myself I'd hold off testing but I just arrived home to a delivery of Internet cheapies so.... I peed within about 30 seconds of getting home 😂 it's our anniversary today so thought how nice would it be if I got a bfp....

I didn't use fmu so expected it to be totally negative but I swear to God I can see a line and it came up straight away.... I'm only 9dpo! Tell me I'm not crazy ? You may have to zoom haha I'm not sure if it has colour but surely an evap wouldn't show up that quickly

I can see something!!

I couldn’t control myself and tested with a FRER this morning at 10/11 dpo. BFN. So hard to stay positive even though I KNOW it’s early. AF isn’t regular so it could be a long wait to know for sure.

Mseddy · 15/11/2018 11:36

@Regina I think I can see something! Fingers crossed! Get FRER for the morning maybe?

liquiddiamonds · 15/11/2018 11:56

Fingers crossed @Regina!! Let us know what happens when you test again, and happy anniversary!

I also tested this morning with an IC. BFN. Have had quite bad cramps since yesterday evening and am feeling nauseous today but this would be my first proper period since coming off the pill, so convinced that AF is just around the corner rather than it being implantation or any sort of early pregnancy symptoms. Will test with my FRER tomorrow morning if period doesn't start in the meantime.

liquiddiamonds · 15/11/2018 11:58

@stroan, I know what you mean about finding it hard to stay positive. Each negative test I get is another knock, but I can't not do them. It's just an itch you have to scratch, isn't it?!

thejollytrolleydolly · 15/11/2018 12:02

@ReginaPhalange89 I think I see something too! Try again in the morning and it might be a bit darker? Hopefully a strong positive for you tomorrow 😁

I tested again today bfn. Been having period symptoms for 4 days now not due until Monday. God knows what's going on 🤷🏽‍♀️

ReginaPhalange89 · 15/11/2018 12:23

I know it's mental but I've just bought some frers and really want to do one later so if it is a bfp I can wrap it up as a "anniversary present" lol will update later !

I've not had any symotoms at all guys so don't give up hope til AF shows !
