Just looking for buddies to get me through the tww..

My app says I’m 2dpo but didn’t catch my exact peak just high fertility on clear blue and used cheapies to back up!

Having cramps and sore breasts but could still be ovulation?

Have been trying since around July 💗

Hi, can I join?

I'm 4dpo today and AF is due on the 20th I think.

I too have put off booking a holiday. I know where I'd like to go next summer but I'm worried I'd have to cancel & lose a lid of money 🤷🏼‍♀️

amysara24 · 10/11/2019 14:02

@LatteLover12 welcome to the club!
I’m just not sure what to do! I don’t want to lose money like you said, and it’s so dependent on if / when we conceive. I’d still go if I was pregnant provided it wasn’t to close to due date, but I don’t know if it’s worth the risk.
DH thinks we’re best to just hold off and book a last minute deal when the time comes as at least we’ll know

Hi all, do you mind if I join? It has taken me so long to find this thread and I’m so glad I have Smile
I finished my pill 3rd July and had positive pregnancy test 4th August. We were in shock! Never tried for a baby before and didn’t use any ovulation sticks or taking temp etc. 23rd September heavy bleeding and unfortunately had miscarriage Sad
Bleeding stopped 30th September and we started ttc again from 3rd October and gutted to get my period 23rd October. My mind has now gone in to overdrive! Did I even ovulate?! I just don’t know. So Period finished 30th October and I purchased clear blue digital ovulation test and started this 1st nov. 3rd nov got flashing smiley for night followed by static smile on 4th so peak.
Continued testing from 6th and back to low result and now today I have a flashing smiley again?!?! It has completely thrown me!
I can’t find answers anywhere as to why this is?! Any advice gratefully recieved.
I was hoping I was nearly a week down is this dreaded 2ww but now I just don’t know.
Wishing you all the best of luck x

amysara24 · 10/11/2019 15:17

@HanG I’m so sorry to hear about your loss, how horrible for you 🙁
It’s a good sign that your periods returned so quickly after stopping the pill, it could possibly be your hormones still levelling themselves out. Sometimes when you peak, your body is ready to ovulate but for some reason it just doesn’t quite get there, which could explain the flashing smiley again. I also found that the Clearblue digital was off sometimes, but I have pcos and so struggle to track!
It might be worth speaking to your gp too since your mc to make sure your body is ready, and they might do a scan of your ovaries and be able to give you more info on where abouts you are on your cycle.
Welcome to the thread!

We have booked the Canary Islands in February and going for a long weekend to Paris (on the Eurostar) in April but I don’t want to book anything later in the year as I am worried we’d have to cancel. DH only booked Paris last week and I could be up to 6 months by then which seemed ok but we travel a lot and I am probably a bit naive about how I will feel as this will be first baby! But then I don’t want to put life on hold because I don’t know how long ttc will take.

LatteLover12 · 10/11/2019 16:51

That sounds perfectly doable @Mrsrobinson247 and I'd happily travel up to 6 months I think. I'm a teacher so stick to school holidays and if I get pregnant this month I'd have a 1 week old by the dates I was looking at! 😂

Definitely not my idea of a holiday 😂

I might ask the travel agent if insurance would cover it if I had to cancel?

I probably won't book anything till after Christmas now anyway.

Really hoping I get my bfp this month. We've been trying for over a year now with no luck.

amysara24 · 10/11/2019 17:04

@LatteLover12 I’m a teacher too! I tried to time it by holidays but given the issues I’d take a bfp any time 😂 I think I’ll hold off booking anything until I have a clear idea what stage I’ll be at.. though not a bad idea to check it out re insurance!

Beau2019 · 10/11/2019 17:22

@amysara24 I need to find this voting app - I'll be all over thar 😂😂

Welcome to the club @LatteLover12 !!

I'm feeling absolutely zero at the moment! My Fitbit app predicts my period is due tomorrow but that's only a 25 day cycle and I've never been that short (maybe once) however it was pretty bang on with my fertility prediction. Whooo knowsss!! Sounds like none of us really have any serious symptoms. As for the sore nips - mine started last time when I was about 5 weeks pregnant. The only symptom I got last time just before AF was due was serious bloating. Like so bad I couldn't fit in my clothes bad. Then the boobs started about a week later.

Just got a roast beef in the oven yum! 😋😋

amysara24 · 10/11/2019 17:25

@Beau2019 it’s honestly so addictive 🤦🏽‍♀️ And useful, 35 people think the internet cheapie test I did yesterday is positive?! I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
Nipples still giving me hell, accidentally tweaked one just now and it’s so painful! The waiting game is honestly so horrible. Oh how I wish I could be one of these people who just finds out they’re 6 weeks pregnant!!
Roast chicken in over here, getting prepared for strictly results later!

WooMaWang · 10/11/2019 17:34

I'm doing a Persian chicken stew for dinner.

We haven't made any holiday plans for this year yet. We'd probably want to take the kids somewhere in August but it might not be a good plan for 2020. If I do get a BFP this month, I'd be due at the end of July and both my DSes were late. DS2 a full 2 weeks. I'd be ok with travelling with a 3 week old or something, but I a week after even a textbook delivery would seem over ambitious. I might suggest we take them on a week holiday at Easter instead.

Liverbird77 · 10/11/2019 17:41

Hi everyone! Can I join you all? Two days post ovulation here.
Ttc number two.
Fingers crossed for everyone!

Ellsbells112 · 10/11/2019 17:54

@WooMaWang @Beau2019 @amysara24 everyones dinner sounds good! Roasting lamb here!
Yes holidays have been a big talk in this house too! But we are looking to buy a house beginning-mid of the year so I think holidays will have to hold for a little whole anyway! At least this year I will have had 3 holidays after Australia! (I say that now by February I'll be begging to go away haha)

I feel okay, was tired today had a little nap woke up with minor cramping 🤷‍♀️ nothing amazing to report over here!

@liverbird77 welcome! How long have you been trying?

Missdrifter · 10/11/2019 17:54

Hi ladies. I am 9dpo and couldn’t resist doing a test. Did a clear blue digital and said not pregnant, I then waited 4 hours and did just a normal clear blue and I think I can see a faint line.. I don’t know wether I am imagining though? And is it too early?

Anyone 1 or 2dpo approx?? 2ww hello again...
Ellsbells112 · 10/11/2019 17:55

@Missdrifter probably too early but the digital isnt as sensitive as the normal clear blue from what I gather. I would get a first response and do another to clarify if you have a faint one on the normal clear blue x

Missdrifter · 10/11/2019 18:04

Thanks @Ellsbells112 I know it’s a bit early but I just had a weird feeling. There is a faint line but it doesn’t show up very well on photos. I Had a static smiley on weds so I may well be more than 9dpo. Will test again in the morning and don’t want to get my hopes up xx

Liverbird77 · 10/11/2019 18:04

@Ellsbells112 not very long, as our little boy is only 10 months!
We need to get moving on it though, as we are older parents!

amysara24 · 10/11/2019 18:05

@Missdrifter I definitely agree that there’s a faint line. From reviews I’ve read, blue dye tests can be less reliable than pink so definitely worth trying a FRER! They pick up 6mcg/l of hcg whereas I think Clearblue is close to 20..
@WooMaWang Persian chicken stew sounds aaaamazing!!

Missdrifter · 10/11/2019 18:13

Thanks @amysara24 I will buy a FRER test tomorrow. I have done tests before and they have been completely blank. Not sure if line shows up better in this photo.

How is everyone else feeling? Sunday evenings always come around too quickly x

Anyone 1 or 2dpo approx?? 2ww hello again...
amysara24 · 10/11/2019 18:16

@missdrifter I can definitely see a line - fingers crossed this is your bfp!

Missdrifter · 10/11/2019 18:18

Thank you. It’s still early and I am not due on until the 14th so will try and test in a couple of days. Not sure why the photo is back to front, I tried to rotate the picture 🤦🏻‍♀️ Xx

amysara24 · 10/11/2019 18:23

@missdrifter I’m due 14th too! I keep flirting between “I’ll wait til Thursday to test” and “I’m going to try tomorrow”... I’m so impatient!!

Sunflower2019 · 10/11/2019 18:27

@Missdrifter definitely looks like a BFP! Congratulations😘

Everyone’s dinner plans sounds lovely! I had some chicken wings from m&s and they were amazing!!!

@Liverbird77 welcome :)

@amysara24 you got any pics you can show us?

@HanG welcome and sorry to hear about your mc :( I’ve been there too and it’s awful!

Holiday wise I’ve thought that.. so thinking booking one beginning of May.

Cramping has upped its game so not sure if that’s a sign but prob pre af cramps!

Anyway doing much with their evening? Just watched some film on Netflix about a mans wife and children disappearing at the hospital was soooooo sad!

Xxx

We are cycle buddies then 😁 have you been symptom spotting? Will keep our fingers crossed for us both xx

Sunflower2019 · 10/11/2019 18:28

Ps that pregnancy checker site sounds good!

amysara24 · 10/11/2019 18:34

I’m not convinced I even see it myself to be honest but who knows!
@missdrifter we are! I’ve tried to keep an eye, I had a bit of spotting around 6dpo I think it was and have had seriously sensitive nipples for the past 2/3 days...
ladies I just did a FRER and I see a line... let me take a picture

Anyone 1 or 2dpo approx?? 2ww hello again...
