Cd 2

Join me for the inevitable tww madness 😂

@Posharmchairs I did the same yesterday. Big fat negative, the clearest you've ever seen. I'm not due on until Monday so shouldn't really test until after then but now I've broken my Golden rule of not testing early why not join you all in a Saturday morning poas party , anything to make the time crawl past faster frankly !

@Champoopapi I’m not due til Monday either (in the law of averages with erratic cycles), but I got a positive opk 2 Saturday’s ago so figured 14dpo was okay to test.

Read somewhere that after 11dpo you would eliminate 80% of the negative result. So now I only have a 20% chance of a positive in a general 20% chance of conceiving. Cheered myself right up there 🤦‍♀️

I'm 7 days dpo today I think...do you count dpo from your first positive stick or from 24 hours after? Have mild cramps this morning. Sadly I don't think it could be implantation as getting a few mild cramps this early isn't unusual for me. 🙄 6 days predicted for AF to arrive. I'm not always the same cycle length...26-30 days. Technically could test at the weekend but may try to hold on!! X

That's also what I thought @urbansloth, but I've taken a first response 6 days earlier test this morning which came back as a very clear negative! So if I'm due between Friday and Monday, surely the six days earlier one would've been a positive this morming?! Argh! I think that I may be being hopeful and maybe exaggerating my symptoms in my head, that's all I can put it down to! I would also test on Saturday however in the last four days I have spent an absolute fortune on tests, of all different types and brands I've agreed with my boyfriend to wait until Monday when we do the weekly shop (if I don't get AF before then!)

I think I’m out, temperature drop this morning but still above the cover line, pink spotting, AF cramps BUT my boobs are sore when I touch them which never happens so I don’t know 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m gonna test in the morning I’m sorry I can’t wait to Saturday 😓 I’ll be 13DPO so it should be accurate enough.

@Posharmchairs @ChampooPapi so sorry about your BFN but it’s still early for you both so it could change 🤞🏼

Hi is it ok to join. Little bit about me. I am 30. Me and hubby are lucky to have 3 children already. I had all three children by the age of 19. So I fell very easy. We are currently ttc number 4. This is our 4th cycle and I am due AF next Wednesday. I had the Implant out at the beginning of October although this one was 3 yrs past its expiry 😕. I was naive to think I would fall straight away 😑. Currenly tracking ovulation which was a static smiley on a CB and a peak on a stick on the 13th. My cycles are 26/27 days long and although I have been on the implant 11 years I had regular cycles. Currently 8/9dpo and a negative this morning . I promised myself I wouldn't test this early 🙄. Sorry for rambling 😂. X

Welcome @sparkler07
Hope you get a more promising result next week.
@whatsthecraic91 I will probably be super tempted tomorrow too. Going to see how many tests I can buy with my co-op points after play group 😂

I’m now thinking maybe we didn’t dtd for enough days after my smiley face. But we both have stinking colds abs ds hasn’t been sleeping through.

Ho hum, not long to wait and then I’ll know if I can hit the g&t’s this weekend 🤭

Hi all

Had mc mid Dec. Then I had another bleed end of December I took for my period. Done a hpt afterwards and got a negative like midwifes suggested before trying again.

I took a pregnancy test a week before period due as had very sore boobs. It came back positive. I done another one a few days later. It also came back positive.
I was in the shops last night and felt an odd ripping sensation followed by moisture down there and just knew I had started to bleed.

I’m upset and confused. Was I pregnant? Could it have been a false positive after the negative? I’m still not actually die due period for another 3 days. X

Phoned the doc. She said there is really no way to know and booking into epu wouldn’t be ideal as it’s too early for anything to show.
Bleeding seems to have settled today from last night (bright red-light brown) not much on pad. Fingers are crossed it was an implantation bleed.
Good luck ladies x

Hi is it okay to join in? I feel so alone with this TTC business! I'm 27 getting married in 4 months and I cant wait any longer so we started to TTC in January, I am irregular with period and some months I have one some months spotting one month. I've only started properly tracking since jan 1st I take 2 ovulation tests daily 10am 2pm to track LH so I can see when I'm surging in order to see if I'm actually ovulating so far all negative. I started Vitex 4 days ago, yesterday started a very heavy period. Heres hoping its kiking in and this will be the start to more regular periods and I can track and ovulate frequently! I feel like I'm such a minority everyone else has perfectly tracked periods, anyone else the same as me? Anyone taken vitex I just feel so alone with it all! X

@whatsthecraic91 so sorry af has come to you, it seems like absolutely everyone is out this month so at least your in good company and we can try in the lovely short month of February together. I will certainly not be peeing on any more sticks until the weekend, and if I get a bfn then I'm drinking the wine. Yes not teachically the end of Jan, but I've done 4 weeks dry and January has been a fair slog quite frankly

@Posharmchairs

Ho hum, not long to wait and then I’ll know if I can hit the g&t’s this weekend

So much 🥂

@ChampooPapi oh I’m not out yet only spotting today and my cramps have disappeared this afternoon and my sore boobs remain so I’m going to test in the morning. But yes she will likely show as soon as I test because she’s a massive bitch!

Fingers crossed for everyone!! Hopefully we will know in a few days 🤞🤞 although actually probably more like a week for me as I'm actually only 8DPO 🙄

Hi new posters. I think we all seem to be in the same boat. Hating January and feeling deflated and bloated at the same time 😂

Scratching my head over the opk instructions. If you get a positive it suggests that day and the day after are your most fertile days. But which day is most likely to be the day you ovulate? Clutching at straws hoping maybe I was only 10dpo when I tested BFN

@Posharmchairs I think you ovulate around 24 hours after the first peak OPK so you might be one day less than you think! My apps have recorded it that way anyway!

Does anyone else feel completely convinced their pregnant every month? I felt convinced last month (I obviously wasn't) and now I'm starting to feel convinced this is our month. I've had cramps the last few days and today lower back pain. Obviously could be totally unrelated but my mind is playing cruel tricks on me 😖

@urbansloth I've convinced myself this is our month. Didn't feel like that at all last month! Worried I'm in for a big disappointment in a few days time 😕

@urbansloth @bluemoon I've completely convinced myself too! I am never normally like this at all! I just feel so pregnant! I think I'm due on tomorrow however and have had a few negatives today! Could I still be pregnant even though I'm having negatives the day before I'm due? I never have sickness before a period but I feel so nauseous at the moment! It comes in complete waves of nauseousness/dizziness: I have one right now! I also usually get really bad period pains in the run up to AF but I've had nothing! Except for a strange bloating/feeling of fullness. I feel like I will be so disappointed if AF comes this month as I've just geared myself up to be pregnant!

@Lunacat96 how many DPO are you? Someone shared this link a while ago which I've found super helpful: www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/results-by-day-past-ovulation.php

If you select how many DPO you are then it tells you what percentage of pregnant women would get a positive by that day. Can give you an idea of how much chance there is left that you could still get your BFP.

Hi guys can I ask if I finally have my positive opk?

@whatsthecraic91 any news? I tested bfn again this morning. I’m guessing all my symptoms are now pms. Will test again tomorrow and then wait and see if af turns up next week

@Liam2018 definitely positive!

@Liam2018 definitely positive!! 🎉

@urbansloth - every single month I’m convinced I am officially insane 😁

@Posharmchairs I have serious line eyes this morning, I think I can see something then I can’t so I’m assuming BFN 😢 still don’t feel like AF is coming tho 🤷🏼‍♀️ Sorry about yours, when is your AF actually due? Mine is due tomorrow so I think it’s over for me or I would have had a faint line by now 😔

Tested again this morning. 99% certain I am 10 dpo and it was negative. Although just before 10 min a very faint line turned up. I dismissed it and will retest tommorrow. Getting fed up now. X
