How's everyone getting on? That's me entered the next tww. In a way I feel very calm about it and not even bothered anymore. Got into my head it's never gonna happen for us but can still have a little dream that it might. If we ever get a bfp I will be unbelievably shocked!!!

Sending big best wishes to everyone.

AF arrived here this morning..... I guess the apps were right 😂😂 wasn't hold out much hope anyway due to my shift pattern.

Think I will go back to the opks this cycle and maybe temping. Going from chilled out to all out!!

Good luck to those still waiting xx

lori2019 · 18/04/2019 13:13

Had my Day 21 progesterone test done today, hope this next week goes quickly!

Having to stop myself symptom spotting, but as we are away for Easter it will stop me testing, didn't get a positive opk this month so zero expectations- just ready to get into cycle 5 already!

Navy123 · 18/04/2019 15:43

Also in the tww and stressing we haven't done enough. Ovia has done my head in this month too - anyone use a better one? Might go for opks next month to preserve my sanity more than anything!
Af due on the 29th so going to try and hold off testing till then.

TTC#1

CD15 for me and the 3rd day of EWCM with blood.. not bright just dull and not very much either. My research tells me it could just be ovulation bleeding which is normal but it's really getting me down, we had DTD every day except yesterday as I felt so tired and not sure I love the idea of doing it where there is blood involved even if it is normal 🤷🏻‍♀️ ovulation due to happen in two days according to glow and a fairly faint but still visible line on a cheap OPK this morning so maybe not lost the opportunity just yet! Anyone got any advice for me?

Period isn't due until 5th May so quite sure it isn't that.

Sigh.. why do you see so many pregnant people when you are trying

Good luck to you all this Easter weekend whatever stage you are at!

Navy123 · 26/04/2019 08:20

This is a quiet bus! Anyone testing soon?

Caved and did a test this morning (ic, af not due till Monday!) and I'm convincing myself there is a teeny tiny line if I squint and hold it at juuuust the right angle - so probably nothing there!! I'd like to say I'll wait till mon to test again but that is highly, highly unlikely!

lori2019 · 26/04/2019 08:44

I'm 2 days late, haven't tested yet. My partner is away until sunday so if AF hasn't arrived by then i'll test.

Kinda surprised it hasn't made an appearance, Wed & thurs I had cramps and my boobs feel so sore and heavy.

Navy123 · 26/04/2019 08:54

Sounds promising! You have much better restraint than me too! 🤞 af stays away.

lori2019 · 26/04/2019 09:08

@Navy123 🤞🏻 for you too!
I'm probably being restrained as I don't want to see another negative test.

lizzie198 · 26/04/2019 12:13

Hi ladies can I join?

My OH and I started TTC in November but we had a bit of a break due to 2 of my grandparents passing away in short concession. As a result this month is the first time we've managed to DTD around the fertile window.

Not holding out much hope just a smidgen for this month but my OH now finally understands the importance of dates and is taking more of an interest in the mechanics of TTC. He admitted he thought we would just stop using contraception and it would happen.

Age - 31
TTC #1
Approx 6 DPO based on apps not temping or taking ovulation tests at the moment

Fingers cross @lori2019 sounds really promisingGrin.

@Navy123 oooooooo that sounds hopeful. Hope the line gets stronger Grin

Hi @lizzie198 Sorry to hear about your grandparents Thanks My husband shows no interest really. He's like it will happen when it happens! Hope this morn goes well for you Smile

I'm CD 26 and started to spot today. Like hardly anything at all. Have had no cramps etc leading up to this. Feel a bit queazy and emotional but I usually do anyway. Prob just the start of my AF a 3 days early SadSad

Tropicana1 · 26/04/2019 20:48

@Navy123 I also did a test today - stupid early at 6-7dpo. AF due weds. Obviously a BFN!

Navy123 · 27/04/2019 06:32

Proudmummy fingers crossed she stays away. So frustrating how the symptoms are the same isn't it!
Tropicana glad it's not just me who tests too early! Trying to hold my wee this morning as I had to pee in the night - the things we do 😂

lori2019 · 27/04/2019 07:06

I tested this morning - BFN, so I guess I'm just having a long cycle. Last months cycle was 17days so who knows what's going on. Have gynaecologist appointment on the 7th so I guess I'll get a clearer picture then.

I bet now I've wasted a test AF will arrive this morning.

I'm out ladies. The wee cow has got pretty heavy this morning. Frustrating she comes out of the blue early. In a way though I just know this is going to be our norm now every month. I'll pop over to the May bus but might end up on May 2021 too Sad

All the very very best to the rest of you ladies and hope that there are many babies to come from this tread!

Big hugs all round ThanksStarThanks

Proudmummy so sorry she got you, it's so tough isn't it :(

Looks like a bfn for me this morning - possibly a shadow of something but nothing more than yesterday. Wish I hadn't wasted my last frer last month! Don't think anywhere round here sells them!

Tropicana1 · 27/04/2019 08:02

@Proudmummy88 sorry for the bfn

@Navy123 I get FRERs off amazon if you have it :)

Tropicana1 · 27/04/2019 08:03

@Proudmummy88 sorry still half asleep! That was meant to be sorry AF got you 🙈

Navy123 · 27/04/2019 10:59

@Tropicana1 yep I get them from there too, but they won't come till tomorrow and then I can't test till Monday, I am way too impatient. Why didn't I buy some in advance?!

Af spot has made its appearance on my chin so I'm sure it's just a matter of time Sad

Navy123 · 28/04/2019 15:12

Well it is suuuuper faint but hubby agrees there is a second line on my frer. Given af was due yesterday though i thought it would be darker so not sure if I should get my hopes up. I know a line is a line but this is too faint to photograph so Confused

Charlotte9876 · 28/04/2019 15:23

Congratulations @Navy123 !! You said it: a line a line 😊 I haven't seen one myself yet but having followed many line eyes posts some people's are still super faint until well past AF is due so fingers crossed you're just one of them! Test again in a couple of days and keep us posted!

Navy123 · 28/04/2019 15:43

Thanks @Charlotte9876! I've told my OH to hide the other test (there were 2 in the pack) and not let me have it till Tuesday!
