Early December testing?

[Laur89]

@Gigi318 @Ellsbells112 @Gems7 new post girls! How are you all? I can't remember who else to tag!

Hi Ladies!

May I join in too? I'm new to this forum and have just been reading all the comments!

Me and my husband are trying to conceive with our first. This is our first month of trying and don't think I have ovulated yet. This is also the first month I am actually tracking my period and tbh I am not sure what my normal cycle length is as I haven't paid too much attention before but I think it is fairly long! I am using OPK's and the glow app. According to glow I ovulate on the 20th which could be right as so far all of my OPK's have given really light lines!

Will be great to have somewhere to obsess over this .

Good luck to all of those hoping for a BFP before the month is out!

TMI warning

I got home and went for a wee, wiped and still nothing .. clear tissue and a little watery mucus.
Felt like I needed to no2 whilst I was there, so I did, wiped & now there's a little pink tinged mucus! Ffs! 😭😭

@FingersCrossedXXX hey lovely! Welcome!!
Ahh that's wonderful news! But just so you know ovulation sticks need to be as dark as the control line to be a positive. A light line is a negative! The clear blue digi ones I've heard are great I've just bought them for the next month of trying! Also if you get EWCM (egg white consistency and colouring discharge) this means you're fertile if you get it it's a good sign and you should try on those days! Not everyone gets it though...I only get it some months xx

@Robbo93 oh hun, has it stopped now?? Maybe implantation?? Ahhhh I hope you're still in 🤗🤗🤗

@Ellsbells112 I haven't checked. My spotting usually starts with a pink tinge so I'm guessing AF is on her way! Sooo annoying!

@Ellsbells112 Thank you for the warm welcome and advice. Yes, the line is still faint so a while to go. I am only testing once a day and on cycle day 12. I have bought some cheap ones for now and will see how I get on but may upgrade in the future!

It's so strange, who would of thought we'd be excited to see cervical mucus!

@Robbo93 Fingers crossed for you that it is implantation and not AF!

@FingersCrossedXXX thank you hun and good luck on your journey. We're TTC #1 too and now 11 months in 😭 xx

@FingersCrossedXXX
Ohh okay, so also I've read that you get a better reading during the afternoon sometimes with the ovulation strips but that they should be done twice a day so you dont miss your surge! If you have enough I'd say do it once in morning and once early evening if you can! Let us know how it goes, did you just come off contraception? X

@Robbo93 ahhh it's so bloody shit I'm sorry 😭🤦‍♀️🤗🤗 have you got a gp app booked?? Xxx

@Ellsbells112 cheers hun. I'll still hold out a slither of hope for now 🤞
No, I haven't got GP appt but I have started the ball rolling already with the hospital so currently having my bloods checked with them! Xx

@Robbo93 I am sure it will happen soon. I think these chats are quite good at bringing you down to reality and seeing that it isn't going to happen as quickly as we may like! I'm obsessing already on month 1 so can imagine your frustration!

How old are you if you don't mind me asking?

@FingersCrossedXXX 25, wbu? X

@Ellsbells112 Made me want to take another test when I get home now but it's pricey to take 2 a day!

I haven't been in contraception for almost 2 years but have been using condoms/withdrawal method!

@Robbo93 little older, turning 30 early next year!

Hi ladies.
Hoping I can stop myself going crazy by testing early and holding out until December.
Last cycle was 28 days and opks were very clear.
This cycle I'm confused by my body, I'm cd15 and no positive opk. Yesterday I had EWCM so I think I will have ovulated. I'm not too sure if I messed up with the opk testing as yesterday I drank loads of water so it would have been diluted, that's a thing isn't it?!
AF is due 28th Nov, so we shall see if I can stay strong!

@FingersCrossedXXX they are pricey!! I'm 27 and I have a 8 year old son. I literally told myself I was pregnant the first month fml because I've been pregnant on the first month a few times. Oh that's good then! At least your body doesnt have to get back to normal then x

@Robbo93 ah babe glad they are doing blood tests. I'm getting af pains full force now right on time! You know I was sure this month was a weird ovulation cycle, I didn't have any EWCM and I didn't have my normal ovulating pains I had really really bad cramps on my day of ovulation! It only happens when I ovulate from the right side but I ovulate normally from the left side!? I'm going to tell the docs that! X

@Ellsbells112 Haha, that's exactly what I will be like. I am SO impatient!

Hey ladies, I hope you dont mind me joining. I'm just on my first month of trying. I have been tracking my ovulation and I apparently ovulated 6 days ago. Omg the waiting game is killing me. I am bloated and tired but no other symptoms. And this could be from coming of the pill a few weeks ago.
I've been reading all your journeys and I am sending baby dust to you all . 😊😊

Here you all are! I got list for a while there and couldn't see where the thread had gone. Have I missed much or are we waiting to test soon?

@JEMMA18 welcome Gemma to the 2ww madness lol keep us updated. Are you trying for first child? X

@happymumma29 haha hey! How are you?? Well af is due for me Saturday and I'm currently sitting with cramps awaiting her blasted arrival.

@JEMMA18 sorry I realise I spelled your name wrong 🤦‍♀️

@Ellsbells117 Hey there ! Oh gosh it's such a long process isnt it. 😭
This is my second child but my first is 9 already 🙈 the years have flown. How about you is this your first ttc? X

@Ellsbells112 I have just done the same with your numbers 😂🙈 x

Hey @Ellsbells112! Sorry I've got quiet, I'm over in portugal and enjoying the laid back approach of not using tracking apps or anything, I've not idea how many DPO I am, but no sign of her yet, been feeling sick a bit this last week but don't know what that means! Are you doing ok? What day you testing? Sorry I've you've already said it but I hadn't kept up on the post 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Anny27 how are you doing lovely?

@JEMMA18 I don't know how I am going to cope with the two week wait, I am getting frustrated just waiting to ovulate!

@Laur89 When are you planning to test?

@JEMMA18 my second too my first is 8 years old! Lol yes it is a long process

@Laur89 glad you're having a good time. I think af will hit me right on time tomorrow, Wednesday I tested at 10dpo and bfn and I've been having af cramps so pretty certain itll come tomorrow on time. When will you test?

@ellsbells112 it hard to remember back 8/9 years ago for me of how I did it all so I feel like I'm starting from scratch, do you feel the same way?
We will both have little helpful older siblings wont we :)
My ds is pestering me for a brother or sister bless him. I think he thinks it's a case of going the shop and picking one up 🙈
