AF/BFP due 17th July

[Mezza610]

Hello ladies,
I know there are already couple of threads open for aug, but thought would be nice to share the experience with anyone who's due similar time to myself.

AF due 17th Aug
I'm 30 years old
TTC cycle 2
CD 14 (of a average 25/26 day cycles)
I got positive OPK CD 11 through to CD13
We BD CD11 & CD 13
Been taking preconception vitamins & preseed

Convinced myself last cycle was the one by taking every twinge and symptoms as a positive.
This 2ww can drive you crazyHoping not to look into symptoms too much this time.
Anyone else out there just starting their TWW?
Hope to keep each other sane during this time.

Ahh how exciting @Greenwhale!! Did your friends know that you had been trying or was it a surprise?xx

@SunnySunshine1990 oh I'm so glad to hear you have got "your" doctor now! I know what you mean! It matters a lot to finally get correct diagnosis! I think it is actually the biggest part of the job.

I think I had a chemical. Waiting for my second set of blood tests results to see whether hcg has dropped. I have just be to my fertility doctor. She has given he a huge list of tests that need to be done (including at least 3 for my DH) and we will work from there. So I think I'm out for the next couple of months. all for the better!

How are you feeling about it all @NavyBerry? At least the ball is rolling and you are getting some answers.
My gp mentioned sperm analysis test for my partner, he is still trying to get his head around the practically of it all ha!

On a side note I have just purchased OvuSense, which should arrive in a couple of days. Sick of using OPKs and it just shows that my surge didn't result in ovulation this month so hopefully get some accurate information from using this, anyone else tried it?x

@SunnySunshine1990 I'm actually quite positive! I'm determined to get all tests done ASAP and then get some professional advice. I hate it when the situation is not under control so a clear plan makes me feel a way better! I haven't heard of ovusense. Have just looked it up. Interesting! I heard there was smth that checks your saliva but haven't heard of a sensor checker. Agree! Opks are rubbish, never know what they mean!

Glad you are feeling positive

I purchased the saliva checker last year ha! I used it once when my cycle was approaching 150 days! I did actually have the fern pattern during ovulation but still found it hard to read x

So glad to hear your positive news ladies @SunnySunshine1990 @NavyBerry – it must be good to finally get some help with something that has been such a drain. Fingers crossed for speedy tests and to be back on the ttc bandwagon soon. Enjoy the rest in the meantime 

I may disappear for a bit – my interview is on Thursday and work is stressful right now so it's all feeling overwhelming. Will check in with you all when it's calmed down xx

Glad to hear some good news!!

I've had another negative but still no AF! I'm on day 42 of my cycle now but still experiencing period cramps. Hopefully this month is just a one off!

Glad to hear you are finally getting some answers and the new doctor is going to help get you sorted out @SunnySunshine1990
and I'm sure it really helps @NavyBerry to be able to control something so the tests will only bring good things for you!

@Greenwhale Im not surprised you had to tell someone! its so hard trying not to say anything to everyone! I have my a doctors appt on Friday so dont know what really happens.. just assume they'll ask about how far I could be and refer me to hosp? I really cant believe you dont get to see anything until 12 weeks! I'm not sure i'll believe it at all until then & I see it!
@littledinosaurs good luck for your interview! everything will all work out!

your PCOS might just be playing up a bit this month @Tdmama hold off testing for a few days and then try again if no AF still

Hi just a quick update.. AF arrived late Sunday only really lasted a day.
On to the next cycle yay

It's been nice having this thread and reading everyone journeys

Xx

How is everyone doing? I'm on day 45 and no sign of AF! I've had a few bfn but might do a first response test tomorrow as I'm now 11 days late

Hey guys hope you're all doing ok?

@Tdmama argh that's so annoying. Are you having any symptoms? Fingers crossed for a bfp soon

Good luck to those starting to get into your fertile period now. Fx this is your month!

#Tdmama how long are you going to leave it before going the GP? It's so hard with irregular cycles - so easy to get hopes up but it's just out bodies playing tricks

I know this is an old post now, but just thought of you all and how much I valued this thread when going through that TWW. You will forever be in my TTC journey memories as such a supportive bunch.
Hope you are all doing well and have your bfp's now or a baby in your arms x

aww @Greenwhale thats lovely! our thread sorta stopped and got lost! how are you? have you had your baba?

@Nova324 I'm good thanks, we are blessed to have our lovely 8 month old little girl but it feels like just yesterday I was peeing on ovulation strips to try and make this happen!
How are you? I hope your pregnancy went smoothly and your little one is with you now!

@Greenwhale thats amazing!! yes my little girl will be 9 months next week! it has gone so so fast! and I'm back at work now its so awful! my pregnancy went really well, I actually miss it a lot lol how was yours? who would of thought when we were all in the TWW that we would be giving birth in a pandemic and lockdown! absolute madness! x
