Well Im 6dpo and it seems like 60!!!! I have a 28 day cycle so theoretically AF is due on 7th Feb. Ovulated on 17th. The clearblue website said I shouldn’t test until 7th! I dont think I’ve had any symptoms at all, but maybe implantation wouldn’t have even happened yet. Going to keep busy and book a weekend away to lake district with other half for next fertile window, whatever the outcome is this month something to look forward to!!!!!

Nextchapter19 · 02/02/2019 10:15

Sorry above should say ovulated day 17 which was Jan 27th!

Thanks @FlapJackered - I know what you mean, I was thinking all last night about what would happen if I tested now. And also I had a dream about doing an OPK and it was positive, which means my AF was coming. It's shit because we literally only have a few days but they are sooooo long!! Xx

AF is starting, I've had my usual brown discharge. Guessing she'll be in full force tomorrow. Very upset and disappointed - not sure I'll pop onto here for a bit so enjoy your weekend everyone xx

So sorry @cupcakesandglitter look after yourself ❤️

MrsH497 · 02/02/2019 13:33

So sorry @cupcakesandglitter look after yourself xx

FlapJackered · 02/02/2019 13:44

@cupcakesandglitter oh no! I am so sorry if it is af. ❤️

🤦🏼‍♀️12dpo I just took a cheap £1 B&M test, BFN 👎🏻 😭 I know it could be too early but I think it would at least have a squinter if I was pregnant. Gah!

BostonFern · 02/02/2019 15:17

Sorry @cupcakesandglitter
@FlapJackered , you never know, sometimes implantation happens quite late.

Incase anyone is looking to buy pre-seed and has Amazon Prime, I've just found it on Amazon Prime Now for £11, quite a bit cheaper than the normal amazon website!

KatBeCool · 02/02/2019 15:21

@Nextchapter19 I'm 8dpo, close to you, trying not to count. And it feels like forever.

@FlapJackered you're definitely not out yet!

@cupcakesandglitter that bitch! So sorry 😞

@starkid you can consult the GP and raise concerns about your TSH. Especially if your periods are light and/or luteal phase is short.

TrashKitten10 · 02/02/2019 15:38

@cupcakesandglitter sorry to hear AF is on her way :(

BabySquid · 02/02/2019 16:32

Hey all, so I did cave this morning and do another test, BFN! I'd say I'm not surprised but I'm still getting boob ache and the odd cramps. So I've come to the realisation that it clearly wasn't IB, it was AF, and now I'm on cycle 10!! I'm off to snuggle my bff's two week old tonight so not doubt my ovaries will be crying not just aching!!

MrsAW2018 · 02/02/2019 17:26

OPK help required again please, ladies!

The lines yesterday evening were the same colour... we DTD last night as thought it was positive result however the one I've done just now, the test line was stronger than the control line... is that my positive result and as per the SMEP, we DTD every day for 3 days from now or yesterday? Sorry if this is confusing; I'm just super confused lol!! 😫Thanks in advance ❤️

BostonFern · 02/02/2019 17:33

@MrsAW2018 I would say the one with the darkest test line would be a better indicator of an LH surge. I had that happen last month too. I was surprised at how much darker the test line was, to be honest!

starkid · 02/02/2019 18:35

@MrsAW2018 - sounds like todays is the positive one :) Nice one, have fun getting busy Wink
@cupcakesandglitter - sorry that it sounds like you're out :( xx

Geez this is a horrid period. I don't think I've ever had cramps this bad before! Sad Feeling very sorry for myself today.

KatBeCool · 02/02/2019 20:06

@MrsAW2018 I agree that today is positive. Surge can last up to 48 hours. So happy dtd-ing!

@starkid if only men knew the pain we have to endure. I don't get bad cramps anymore but back when it first started it was quite bad.

Thanks everyone ❤️ (had to pop back on of course) after my spot of pink this morning, I've had nothing on my pad all day, and just a tiny dot of light brown cm when I checked my cervix earlier - I'm guessing proper spotting will happen tomorrow, and AF will arrive the day after that. Think I ovulated on CD20 so at least (I think) my LP is 14 days... still feeling upset, but I've decided when AF comes we're going to stop 'trying'. I'm just going to focus on losing weight/getting the house sorted etc, but having unprotected sex without tracking dates or temping etc etc. Unsure if I'm going to be on here once AF comes but please tag me when you get your BFPs - I'm rooting for all of you!!!!

@cupcakesandglitter I completely understand and will probably not be far behind you on taking that break. Enjoy it and come back here when you're ready. We will miss you lots ❤️❤️❤️ xxx

KatBeCool · 02/02/2019 22:21

@cupcakesandglitter you will definitely be missed here! But no matter what, don't think any less of yourself than greatness. There are so many ways in which modern medicine can help, and for some people it just takes a bit longer. Don't feel defeated. Having children is something you want, you'll find a way.

@FlapJackered and you too! What I said to @cupcakesandglitter. Get that HSG scheduled.

Lemonysherbet · 02/02/2019 22:29

Hey all,

I'm new here, been stalking for a little while and cheering you all on so thought it was about time I actually joined in. I'm not so down with the lingo so please excuse my use of full words 😁
I guess you could call this cycle 1. We've finally had the chat and after buying a house this year we're ready to attempt to make babies.

All sounds exciting but I've got the fear it's going to take us a long time (does anyone else get that?)

Our only issue is were off to a zika country in may for my DHs brother's wedding so it can't be avoided. However it's not going to stop us trying for a couple of months before hand, and if worse comes to worse I could just miss the wedding. Otherwise we'll be on hold until November. It feels like such a long time away which is why were ready to start now!

Hope you're all having a good weekend :)

Lozzlepop · 02/02/2019 23:02

OPKs are the bane of my week, CD 16 and the line isn’t getting any darker 😭🙈 DTD Tuesday and last night just incase really hoping I OV in the next few days otherwise my cycles might not be back to normal as previously hoped 😒

FlapJackered · 03/02/2019 06:05

Girls I am shaking so much. Is this what I think it is??

I took that in a hurry, a minute later and IT'S GOT DARKER!!! I am crying!!! Am I allowed to cry? This is my bfp right?

It absolutely looks like it @FlapJackered
Congratulations!!!

Lola871 · 03/02/2019 06:42

Congratulations @flapjackered! That's definitely a line!! A good one too 😊

Welcome @lemonysherbert, I'm on cycle 1 too.

Ovulation due yesterday or today, so about to enter my first TWW, let the madness begin!

TrashKitten10 · 03/02/2019 06:49

@FlapJackered Cry away, that's a definite line! So happy for you, especially as it came at the point you were ready to give up. Congrats :)
