Sorry @SoulMama18 and @bluemoon2468 - FX for next month for you both!

whatsthecraic91 · 31/12/2019 17:18

@MrsTwentySeven sorry you got BFN but 8DPO is still so early so you never know 🤞🏼

Happy new year everyone!! See you on the February bus xx

Crumbsinthecarpet · 31/12/2019 19:21

Bfn for me too but strong pains in right hand side and I'll send the opk I just did... Have I calculated this all wrong and I'm ovulating ultra late??? This is the strongest opk I got this cycle so far, would explain all the cm?

Can I join the jan bus? Anyone in the tww? I’m only 2/3dpo, af due 12th jan, tww going to be tough as I’m the craziest of symptom spotters (and early testers) currently having constant headaches, aches down below and sore boobs, but probably just my crazy mind playing tricks as very early! I feel like it drives me insane, surely I’m not alone on this though 🤯

notetaker · 31/12/2019 20:01

Looks like you’re dtd tonight @crumbs!
Happy new year everyone, hope it’s wonderful for you x

SoulMama18 · 01/01/2020 09:25

Happy new year everyone! Anyone get a lovely New Year's Day BFP?

Sjp17 · 01/01/2020 10:12

Halt new year @SoulMama18 I'm waiting until tomorrow at 12DPO to take another test after bfn at 9Dpo 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

notetaker · 01/01/2020 11:46

BFN for me at 10dpo and finding myself obsessively taking it out of the bin every couple of hours to check it again 😂

Crumbsinthecarpet · 01/01/2020 13:00

Threnody · 01/01/2020 15:54

gg321 · 01/01/2020 16:10

I can see a faint positive on that

Crumbsinthecarpet · 01/01/2020 16:53

Hi Ladies!

Can I join in too?

Currently wrapping up cycle #2 of trying for baby #1 and unfortunately didn't start out with the greatest of circumstances even though I'm trying to be as optimistic and hopeful as I can.

Basically DH had radiation for a tumor last year that was on his left inner thigh. Thankfully he didn't have to got through chemo, but he did go through daily radiation for 5 weeks and then surgery last Nov. When we went to check his fertility back in October, the results were grim and he's really down about it. Despite what the doctor said about our chances to conceive naturally, I took out my Mirena and here we are!

I've experienced a lot of dizziness basically throughout my entire TWW coupled with a sinus infection and a congested face that just won't quit. Both the dizziness and the sinus issues are not normal for me and I have had cramping on DPO days 9-11. Currently on DPO 12 and AF is due on the 3rd (maybe the 5th depending on the source hehe) tested and got a BFN yesterday but still hopeful!

Biggest difference for me this month has been that I haven't gotten sore breasts until now at DPO12 and I'm a PMS tender breast type.. so I'm also thinking maybe that could be a good sign as implantation would've happened in the last few days and today is DPO12.

Sending baby dust to you all and look forward to hearing how things go!

Hi @gingerglitter sounds reasonably promising with all those symptoms!!

OP posts:
SoulMama18 · 01/01/2020 19:06

Hi @gingerglitter4ever ! Good luck! I hope you get a BFP soon! A friend of mine was told they would never conceive naturally as her husband had one of his testicles removed because of testicular cancer. Low and behold here they are with a healthy 2 year old! Stranger things have happened!!

@crumbsinthecarpet I can definitely see a line! Fingers and toes crossed for you!!

Good luck @sjp17 and @notetaker if you're resting again soon! 👶👶👶

So I have just bought a pack of OPKs after telling myself I wouldn't obsess this cycle 🤦‍♀️ I have never used them before. Any advice?

gingerglitter4ever · 01/01/2020 19:24

@SoulMama18 thank you! That's super reassuring, I don't always feel like we can talk about it either because I don't want him to get sad.. Do you know if they did anything extra (vitamins, eating pineapple, brazil nuts etc.) to help out?

I'll be testing again within the next few days, anyone else going to test soon?

Sjp17 · 01/01/2020 20:21

@SoulMama18 bfn for me today at 12DPO so I think I'm out this month, have been using opks too, did you get strips or digital? What CD are you, let's be buddies this month and make or October 2020 babies ❤️

SoulMama18 · 01/01/2020 21:22

@sjp17 yes please!! I'm on CD2. I had a bit of a weird month last month. AF was late and I'm having the mother of all periods so I'm wondering if it was a chemical. Not much I can do about it now though so I guess it doesn't matter either way! I bought Wondfo strips off Amazon as they didn't seem too expensive. Really don't know what to expect! I'm still BF my 21 month old so I'm not sure if that's throwing off my ovulation so I'll be interested to find out! Have you used strips or digital?

Oops sorry for double post!

Sjp17 · 01/01/2020 21:39

@SoulMama18 oh amazing! I'm still bf my almost 1 year old too, so I've wondered that may be affecting my cycles (but I have had positive OPK's the last two cycles so I assume that means I am in fact ovulating) cycles have been 45,34 & this ones predicted to be 33 , I've used both strips and digital, I use the strips from around CD12, and then once they are darkening I do both to make sure I don't misinterpret the strips so I don't miss the peak. Though going to change my BD game plan this month, felt so confident in when we BD both last cycles without success, so frustrating that we can't control it and I know a couple of cycles aren't many, I was naïveve thinking it may be as easy as the first time round, alas I've been proven wrong so far.
