@dancingqueen03 she's arrived 😩. I kinda want to wish you luck in getting her over with but don't want her too as that's another month then of TTC x

wannabemum38 · 15/10/2019 22:25

@Luxoire going to try and hold out til weekend wait for AF to turn up I think wont waste any more pg tests then but its very hard

Luxoire · 16/10/2019 11:05

@wannabemum38 do you FEEL different? I am trying so hard to not go to Tesco and buy FRER as i am 6 days away from my period today lol and 14days away from my next fertile window
I dont even know whether to be cautiously optimistic or not as i don't FEEL anything different! and it is only Weds, still have Thursday and Friday to go!!
have you told your DH you are testing this weekend? i wonder if i tell mine, alteast it is out there and he will be geared up for it and I cant do it Before lol

wannabemum38 · 16/10/2019 13:33

@Luxoire No don't feel any different but not had the usual bloat and backache and painful boobs I usually get week leading to AF
I am 10dpo today and in a rush to work I caved and did a PG test just a cheapie from Amazon or eBay. I am slightly shocked as looks like a very faint line but wouldn't photograph to put on here. As soon as the wee was infiltrating the strip two lines came up but the 2nd line went very faint but I shone a torch and it's definitely there
Just on my lunch and popped to Poundland for some more tests to do for next few days but I don't know seems too good to be true! DP knew we would test this weekend if my AF didn't arrive.

Luxoire · 16/10/2019 16:27

@wannabemum38 eeekkkk that is sooooo exciting!!! let me know how you go!! a flashlight eh ?! NEVER thought of that!!
I can sneak a PG test in first thing without DP noticing lol - if u get a BFP are u still gonna do one with him and act surprised? hahaha this is super exciting - now you mention it i have not had my usual breakout i normally have a few days to AF but that could just be bcos i am no longer on BC and pills / fake hormones are not in my system to cause havoc...what kind of tests did you buy?

I AM SERIOUS RUBBING MY BODY ALL OVER YOURS HOPING THE DUST RUBS OFF Grin

Confused.com here again.

Cd9, opk negative (ovulated cd10 last month), but have now had light spotting for 3 days which I've never normally had before around ovulation and now I've got what feels like period pains. What is going on?
Temps don't seem to indicate ovulation either

@wannabemum38 exciting!!x

CouscousEvaporator · 16/10/2019 18:42

@claireb707 I found this really useful. I have a really slow rise after ovulation, which period tracker doesn’t seem to pick up on so it never predicts ov correctly.

www.fertilityfriend.com/courses/lessons/1/Chart-Variations.html

Might be a pre ov dip? Or just an anomaly?

Ps congratulations @wannabemum38 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

wannabemum38 · 16/10/2019 19:17

@Luxoire
One step cheapies from eBay this morning. Bought some Poundland cheapies and a FRER which I did at home tonight 530pm and no line don't know if it's cos not FMU or my HCG isn't high enough don't know maybe it was a false positive this morning

dancingqueen03 · 16/10/2019 19:23

@Kiki275 aww well at least you know where your up to and can plan for next month, hopefully the witch isn't bad for you anymore and goes quick

My af still hasn't arrived yet 🤔 so my mind racing... did I catch the window? Could I be? I kinda wrote this month off when the app said that my af was due on Saturday but that was 24 days so now when I'm 29 and no sign I thought my ovulation day would be later than expected so I must have missed the window?

I'm scared to test in case it's another bfn but as well just need to know!!

I haven't had symptoms as such, yesterday I had bad bellyache like af was due, I was all hot and felt abit sick/ dizzy but kinda went away abit today Iv had the odd belly pain but nothing else.. only thing different in myself is I'm gassy and forever needing the toilet(sorry tmi)

Luxoire · 16/10/2019 19:26

@wannabemum38 I thought its best to do them first thing?! When are you actually due AF? FRER says up to 6 days before ur missed period...but then I thibk it depends on ur hormone levels and how quickly they rise. So you are not out yet. Hang in there xxx

I am so scared of a negative I'm thinking maybe I should just wait for the witch Tuesday...but then ots like thats long!! Hahahhaha

OP posts:
Luxoire · 16/10/2019 19:28

@dancingqueen03 I know what I mean about twsting and getting a negative vs not testing...but if ur late...cd29 and u dont usually have that long a cycle it might be worth getting an ultra sensitive test like FRER?!
It's not over until the witch comes so hang in there and maybe test first thing tomorrow if I can? Xoxox

OP posts:
dancingqueen03 · 16/10/2019 19:42

@Luxoire I know it's awful!! Got help you trying wait till Tuesday, I always cave early which is probably why I'm so put off testing now 🤦‍♀️

I haven't got any in this month, and the nearest shop is 20 mins away, very country area where we live pain when you need something now haha 😂 I'll call tomorrow see if I can get one

wannabemum38 · 16/10/2019 20:00

@Luxoire AF due Saturday. I know was meant to wait just so impatient lol
Only symptom i have had past couple of days is bad heartburn and i needed to pee loads today but think was cold at work

claireb707 · 16/10/2019 20:42

Thanks for that @CouscousEvaporator interesting reading!

CouscousEvaporator · 16/10/2019 20:54

That’s ok @claireb707 I hope your cycle settles a bit and it’s a blip. Hopefully the pain is your body gearing up for ovulation. 🤞🏻

Luxoire · 16/10/2019 21:05

@dancingqueen03 I might cave lol....i am already thibking of my next fertile period in 15days and thinking of investing in clearblue ovulation..lol ...yeah if I were that far away from a shop I'd definitely stock up hahaha and prob testing everyday till the witch showed lol

@wannabemum38 ur not out yet then...heartburn is def a pregnancy sign for me and I have nothing zero signs! I am still keeping everything crossed for you.

I am hoping I will be too busy next week with my son's op and AF to dwell on it too much and thrn I can start planning next fertile window

Sodding typical, was geared up for dtd sgsin tonight, boyf is in bed before I go in bathroom, come out and he's sodding gone to sleep already 🤬😩😂

claireb707 · 17/10/2019 07:05

Flashing smiley on opk this morning, and someone woke up early a bit frisky 😉

dancingqueen03 · 17/10/2019 07:50

@Luxoire aww I always did good luck when you do hun 😃 I'm just on my way to work if I wasn't late I would have stopped off at the shop 🙄 hopefully it's another day I will just have to play the waiting day on

@claireb707 haha your post made me laugh this morning, typical men lol 😂 glad you caught your window hun

claireb707 · 17/10/2019 08:00

Hopefully this is our month I have an interview for a job I was headhunted for today, I'm getting a substantial tax refund tomorrow, if I do get a bfp I would be due around our birthdays next year. The signs are there just need my body to behave

Luxoire · 17/10/2019 08:16

@claireb707 Hahahah ur posts made me laugh Hahahah great u got ur grove on this morning! Oh wow it all seems limed up to be a great month for you guys fingers crossed this is your month! I am totally investing in digital ovulation sticks for next cycle

@dancingqueen03 kids came to my bedroom before I had time to POAS with first wee...hopefully that means tomorrow I will. Have told DP we are testing at the weekend but I'm not optimistic..he casually said oh well if it's not this month it will happen next month...he doesn't understand the waiting and suspense and cycle...men!!! As if it were that easy..

I read somewhere the 10uml tests are more accurate from 4days before missed period so hopefully weekend will be in that window..FRER tests are 6uml sensitivity

dancingqueen03 · 17/10/2019 08:55

@Luxoire aww have to keep us posted hope it goes well for you 😊 when i finally get a test I'll update you x

@claireb707 good luck with your interview hun, sounds like it could be your month hopefully everything goes well

HappyGirl86 · 17/10/2019 12:33

Oooh I hope it's positive news for you @Luxoire when are you testing?
Not actually feeling that tired.....just so nauseous and dizzy!! Feel like I've got a hangover constantly. I guess it's all a good sign.
