Farhana170 · 27/12/2018 12:55

Kaye03 · 27/12/2018 13:06

@Farhana170
Looks positive to me. Why not try dtd today. Nothing to lose

Farhana170 · 27/12/2018 13:12

We dtd after the positive last night so hope we covered. Will defo try again tonight DH doesn't finish work till 11am tho

todaywasafairytale · 27/12/2018 13:36

Hi all! TTC #1, started cycle #6 this morning following AF arrival :( I'm just fed up of getting BFN. Someone else I'm close to has told me their pregnant, it sometimes feels like everyone is getting their positives besides me.

Pity party over, here's to a BFP in January 🤞🏻

todaywasafairytale · 27/12/2018 13:37

@Farhana170 looks positive!

thosethreewords · 27/12/2018 13:57

@emcrave glad its not just me!
@Fortheloveofscience yey! Baby dust for you!! Is this the time you thought you would be ovulating?
@Farhana170 it sounds like you will have covered it then!
@todaywasafairytale so sorry that AF showed up - rubbish timing as always. Feel free to have a pity party though, I feel like pregnancy announcements seem to just coincide with AF!

Farhana170 · 27/12/2018 14:11

@todaywasafairytale I've had three family members tell me they are pregnant this month! Two of them just passed the 12 week mark and another still early days. People getting pregnant left right and centre! So I know how you feel!

thosethreewords · 27/12/2018 14:25

@Farhana170 hopefully your turn next then 😊😊 x

Farhana170 · 27/12/2018 14:27

Fingers crossed, I'm not hopeful at all but never know. Opks, bbt tracking cm all stressing me out

Fortheloveofscience · 27/12/2018 14:42

Yes, I think so. Would have been expecting Saturday, so tomorrow makes sense.

I reckon you’ve got a decent chance Farhana if you can DTD tonight after that OPK this morning.

I’m only doing OPKs, think doing CM and BBT as well would tip me over the edge! Not looking forward to the TWW.

WatchingTheWheels85 · 27/12/2018 14:44

Can someone advise on the best thermometer to get?

Farhana170 · 27/12/2018 15:23

@fortheloveofscience we can do the tww together. What CD are you on at the mo? Bbt is working really well for me but obviously you miss ovulation as temp rises after ovulation. So far it's been on point opk I'm not too sure about. It's only our first month of actually trying and dtd more often. Last month we were a little airy fairy with it

TtcIAm · 27/12/2018 15:30

2dpo i think 🤔 going by old cycles my period should be due in about 9/10 days

don't think i am going to test early as don't want more disappointment

thosethreewords · 27/12/2018 15:33

@WatchingTheWheels85 I think mine is isnowmed (amazon) it was about 10 quid I think.

Fortheloveofscience · 27/12/2018 16:53

Farhana I’m CD13, suspect I’ll ovulate tomorrow. Great to have a TWW buddy it’s my first cycle of ‘proper’ trying too and although I know it’s unlikely, I’m secretly hoping for a first time BFP and will be driving myself nuts in a week’s time!

Reckon I’ll try and BD one more time then just as and when for the rest of the month - I’m exhausted, we’re normally a once a week type couple but have managed 5 out of the last 7 days. Totally not sustainable once we’re back to real life after Christmas.

Farhana170 · 27/12/2018 19:04

@fortheloveofscience I tested opk again n still very positive. Somehow got to convince DH to DTD once more tonight then I'll be sure we've covered base. We are totally knackered as we thought I ovulated on cd14 as that was the case last month. If I ovulate tomorrow that's CD 20. I don't think that's normal for me but then again never really tracked ovulation. But my cycle is usually 30 days #confused.com
When are you going to start taking a test? I'm going to wait it out until af is missed, however I suspect I will be ovulating later anyway

Hazandduck · 27/12/2018 21:23

I’m feeling so frustrated. I was due on the 16th of December. Still no AF! Done two tests and nothing apart from evap lines the next day (I know why did I fish them out the. bloody bin 🙄). To be fair I’ve only had one period since my DD was born last November so I guess my cycle is still messed up. I’ve sat with frozen cabbage leaves down my bra today as I am determined to stop breastfeeding and start ovulating again!! Anyone else frustrated 😒 had a couple of baby bombs the last 2 weeks too! And turning thirty on Saturday I really wanted to be pregnant before I turned thirty!

APositiveMind · 27/12/2018 22:11

I changed my app cycle to 33 days as always been 28 but the past few months I've been 5 days late and getting my hopes up for nothing! I'm not predicted to ovulate on the 12th of Jan. So excited!

MrsCatKins · 28/12/2018 09:52

Tested really early....according to FF I'm 7DPO but I suspect maybe 8...
This was my frer....what do you think...am I going mad? Shock

Fortheloveofscience · 28/12/2018 10:00

I can see it! Congratulations Flowers!

Fortheloveofscience · 28/12/2018 10:05

@Farhana170 I don’t know when I’m going to test, DH wants to wait until I miss AF but I’ve got a work event on 10th which is the day AF is due at 13DPO so I’m really tempted to do a test that morning (assuming I manage to wait that long!) because if it’s negative I’ll have a drink - if I don’t everyone will assume I’m pregnant which I don’t want if I’m not.

@Hazandduck that sounds really hard, fingers crossed your cycle sorts itself out soon. I totally get the timeframes we put on ourselves, my birthday is mid-Jan and although I don’t expect a BFP before then, I desperately want the baby to have arrived before my birthday in Jan 2020.

TtcIAm · 28/12/2018 10:17

@MrsCatKins i can see a clear line congratulations our first bfp if the month i'm only 3dpo and my temps have been quite high but could also be because of alcohol consumption

OP posts:
MrsCatKins · 28/12/2018 10:20

Thank you! I can't quite believe it as it's still so early after ov! The reason I tested so early was that my heart rate was going mad last night when I was just lying on the sofa and I felt really jittery...and it wasn't wine 😂 i guess no more festive tipples for me! Fingers crossed for everyone else.

Kaye03 · 28/12/2018 11:15
