Currently: 2 ww, due on tomorrow with negative HPT's so far

Would be great to hear your stories and support each other along the way. Wishing you all baby dust☺️💐xx

@Sienna9522 Hahahaha that's good to hear success from dryness😂😂
@LondonKez let me know how you get on with them🤞🏻I don't know if it was a coincidence but got my first bfp 3 months after they was in my system x

Hi all,

Congrats to those with bfp!

Baby dust to all those still ttc :)

According to my app I ovulate today and me and dh have been dtd throughout my fw and plan some more today haha so fingers crossed

Any one else similar waiting position?

So, strange cycle for me (again!). I thought I was about 3dpo today. Woke up and input my temp expecting it to confirm ovulation and it's put me at 8dpo which means I ovulated 3 days after the end of my period, my bleeding/spotting happened at 3-5dpo and my cramps started at 6dpo. My actual pre O cramps must have been confused with AF cramps. Very frustrating. Going to just not think about it snd see what happens on Weds when Natural Cycles is predicting my period

@fabmaz I'm 2dpo so in TWW.
Feeling very nauseous today which isn't Inuit I be honest but 🤞🏻

Hi @waiting2bmum I've not done anymore tests as we had 6 come back positive I'm getting more symptoms very sore boobs, sore teeth and quezyness so we're pretty sure it wasn't a lie. Phoned the dr expecting to be told to come in but nope just got to see the community midwife at 8weeks. These 4 weeks waiting are already putting me on pins. Just want someone official to confirm it's all real. I saw your ovulating early hope this could be a good sign FX xxx

Hi @fabmaz fingers crossed for you!! I'm due ovulation this week x
@LondonKez that's really odd, surly not right to ovulate 3 days after your period? What is it your using to tell you that? X
@MrsG7718 wow that line!! And there's not denying the digital! So happy for you☺️that sounds about right for doctors. Iv tested today and the line is fainter, due to ovulate next Saturday x

Thanks @Waiting2bMum ! Not sure how accurate as only using my app at the moment and not sure if it's just my imagination but I deffo feel like something's going on down there haha

Fingers crossed for all

My OPKs came yesterday and I’m due ovulation on Tuesday. I had the faintest line yesterday.

People using OPKs is this normal to have such a faint line 4/5 days before ov? I don’t really have any idea what I’m doing tracking my ov as first time this cycle. 🙈

@fabmaz let us know how you get on with TTC☺️🤞🏻💐
@MrsE95 yeah that's normal, don't use morning urine though. You will start to see the line develop darker. Few days before ovulation I do about 4 tests over the day and the day of and after x

Silly question but when you do a pregnancy test do you need to it in all your urine or just a little bit

@meepmoop it depends on the test

Ah okay, I use these ones

They're what I use, pretty sure you're supposed to pee in a pot and then dip them in for 15 second without going above the line.

I do that but wasn't sure if the pot needed all the urine to detect the HCG or has the same concentration in a small amount

@meepmoop shouldn't matter how much either way

I'm using Natural Cycles. It's shifted it now to CD10 making this cycle 21 days. But my temps have only barely made it above the cover line this cycle. It's been accurate to the day since I started using it, so will be interested to see if it's right this month.

Forgot to say, I thought I'd ovulated on CD14.

An anyone else see this?

@LondonKez I don't use charts, looks very confusing! Fingers crossed🤞🏻
@meepmoop omg yes I see it! Think we have another BFP on this post. Is that the only test you took?? X

Yay I'm glad it's not just me being cross eyed! DH is at work until 5 so I couldnt get his opinion.
Yeah it's the only one I took, I thought I would do another one later as I did that one not long after I had already been toilet

@meepmoop aww so pleased!! Let us know when you check again x

So I tested again... I can't believe it

Congratulations, @meepmoop! No denying that clear blue one!

I’ve started using OPK kits this cycle but they are all coming up negative. I’m positive I’m using them right and not drinking too much fluid etc. Is it possible that I’m not ovulating? Anyone else experienced similar?

Thank you!! @TheatreMumma

@Greysgirl I found when I started using ovulation tests I actually ovulated way later than I though I did so it might be that. How far in your cycle are you?
