Hey ladies,

Posted on a few threads but think it's about the time I might know what I'm sorta on about! Ha!

Looking for some TTC Buddies I can what's app :-)

A bit about me, I'm 28.. 29 in April.. my husband is a year younger than me. We've been married just over a year and together for 9 years this July.

I came off the pill Cerelle 24th November after years of the pill then implant and then the pill again. Never had periods on any. Just a few withdrawals when I missed a few pills.

Anyway! Been actively TTC since my withdrawal bleed 25-29th November.

Finally after a December of no Flo she's arrived today. So finally I can accurately start trying to track on Ovia! GrinGrin

What's your story?

I've been struggling with taste all week! I love tea, but not this week. Your bodies way of slowly driving you insane I think.

Still no AF for me. Although i did think the app might have been slightly eager expecting it today. Tonight possibly or tomorrow is likely. Monday would be my usual day (but i ovulated early) so i guess it could make me wait until then! Grrr. (14dpo today).

paintfairy · 01/02/2020 17:06

God, no I'm not. Its 15dpo today. Lord. 😂

littletandme · 01/02/2020 17:27

@paintfairy fingers crossed AF stays away, have you tested yet?

Everything is irritating me today. 2yo DD is being very 'annoying toddler' and DH has been useless and has now gone for his "nap" before his night shift tonight so bedtime is all on me later Envy boobs are also now feeling sore.

Hatepickinganame · 01/02/2020 17:55

I really need to stop symptom spotting lol i know af is on its way, i even stocked up on supplies today 😂 @paintfairy did you do a test at all? I cant keep up with who has and who hasnt!

@littletandme ah get yourself a nice hot bath after youve put the tiny human to bed then, thats my next plan 😊 followed by an early night i think 😴

MimiArm · 01/02/2020 18:05

@Hatepickinganame I've no idea at this point! I'll do a test in 2/3 days just to rule out IB.

When are you testing, or are you waiting it out and hoping those supplies won't be needed ☺️

MrsTwentySeven · 01/02/2020 18:07

@MimiArm is it definitely AF and not implantation bleeding ??
@paintfairy I can’t remember if you’ve tested either - sounds so promising that your AF is late!!
@notetaker brilliant idea about Feb : well there’s ultra busy weekdays at work for me, Valentine’s Day I may just book an evening dinner somewhere, hmm going out with some work friends next week, there’s of course pancake day too 😂, and I am visiting the folks the end of the month (who have been nagging me about losing weight so this month I am devoting to fitness as BFP is not looking likely anyway ....)
In other news , I’m 9/10 DPO, have increased CM but I presume as AF isn’t far off (wed) , I also have a random bruise type mark on my boob...weird! Symptom spotting craziness!! Ordered some cheap tests - coming Monday 😂

sojo44 · 01/02/2020 18:08

Hi 👋

Hope it's ok if I join? I think I'm 1DPO so I guess testing just before Valentine's Day unless AF comes earlier. TTC #1, PCOS and trying not to get too hopeful.

How is everyone doing?
Saturday night and we've gone wild and ordered a new dining table and chairs and spending the evening with a good glass of wine and some shows. The rock and roll lifestyle 😝.

MrsTwentySeven · 01/02/2020 18:08

I’m really hoping at-least one of us has a beautiful BFP to post here by the end of next week 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾

MimiArm · 01/02/2020 18:14

@sojo44 Welcome to the crazy bus 😊
Fingers crossed the TWW goes in fast for you. And dreaming of your new dining table will pass the time (somewhat!)

@MrsTwentySeven I really don't know. It was medium flow for that one day then just noticeable when I wipe after that. Could be I suppose as I'm still conscious that it came the morning after the crazy rash! Plus I've had headaches ever since and tummy cramps. Not hopeful though as waiting it out to start OPK testing again in a few days.

Can't wait to see how you and everyone else gets on in the next load of days

MrsTwentySeven · 01/02/2020 18:17

@MimiArm TMI but I’ve heard if it’s brown ish rather than bright red - more likely to be IB , I’m still crossing everything for you! 🤞🏾 test in a few days! (PG and OPK ...your usual style 😂)

MrsTwentySeven · 01/02/2020 18:18

Welcome @sojo44
What a fantastic Valentines would it be if you got your BFP 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾

Wise0wl · 01/02/2020 18:37

@Hatepickinganame not yet 🙈 fingers crossed it turns up tomorrow!

Welcome @sojo44 🙂

Hatepickinganame · 01/02/2020 18:41

@sojo44 hi! Im spending my evening with a cup of tea and the witcher 😂 gotta love a netflix binge.

@MimiArm did you find out what that rash was in the end?

@MrsTwentySeven surely by the law of averages we should get at least one bfp on this thread before feb is out??

Supper16 · 01/02/2020 18:49

Feeling v low this evening. AF due in 2 days so may well be related. My almost two year old has been incredibly challenging today and a horror over the last few nights. Anyone else TTC whilst at the same time petrified of having more than one / a toddler and a newborn? Sad

MrsTwentySeven · 01/02/2020 18:50

@hatepickinganame oooh loved the Witcher. I’m binging Sabrina (God knows why) on Netflix

Right ?? There’s so many of us on here - surely we should have 25% BFPs 🙊

Hatepickinganame · 01/02/2020 18:53

@Supper16 sorry to hear youve had a rough day. Wish i could help with the toddler/baby scenario but theres at least a 4 year age gap between my three (14, nearly 9 and 5)

@MrsTwentySeven im rewatching cause o didnt really understand the timeline the first time around! I love it though. Fills the GoT gap in my life haha is sabrina any good? I keep thinking about it. Me and my eldest also watch Riverdale 😆

paintfairy · 01/02/2020 18:56

No I've not tested. Unless you count a random one step test the other afternoon, with weak urine. 😂 Which was BFN obviously. I've got some frer but I wouldn't use one unless AF was officially late. And today isn't over yet! It wouldn't be that odd if it came tomorrow really. Anything after that I'd begin to wonder though.

I have had a funny week symptoms wise and definitely some strange things happen. But as we all know- this is exactly how it is! However, my temp I feel is to low to be pregnant. And I've spotted this week as usual. So I guess I'm secretly hoping AF won't turn up. But I'm not holding my breath......

Supper16 · 01/02/2020 19:04

@Hatepickinganame Part of me thinks that's infinitely more sensible, bar my increasing age and desire to 'get it all over and done with'. Said toddler is asleep in his cot for first time in 3 nights, keep your fingers crossed for me that he says there tonight!

MrsTwentySeven · 01/02/2020 19:04

@Hatepickinganame it’s a bit too teenage-ified for my liking but I’m persisting with it! Haha I watched a few seasons of Riverdale too then gave up..

Just watched a few YouTube videos of people saying they had BFN at 9dpo and then BFP at 11-14....giving me hope when I shouldn’t hope 🙈

Anon87 · 01/02/2020 19:07

I treated myself to a beer after work tonight. (Met the OH who was out already) He seemed a bit surprised to see me with alcohol after the last 2 week or so. Maybe I've just disheartened him 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm sore, tender, achy, bloated I just know this first estimated cycle hasn't done it so I'm going to go home and have another beer!

No pressure but I'm hoping someone brings a BFP to the group 😆

lc86 · 01/02/2020 19:08

Hi ladies
I ovulated Tuesday according to clear blue ovulation test, but my af is due on 7th. Seems too soon for me to even test then as will only be a few days past ovulation. When do you think would be best to use FRER? Fingers crossed for everyone this month xx

littletandme · 01/02/2020 19:28

@Supper16, my DD is 2.5 and also been a contrary, challenging toddler lately! I'm part terrified of having two and part thinking it'll be amazing to see her with a baby brother or sister as she's obsessed with babies and so sweet and kind to them 😍

MrsTwentySeven · 01/02/2020 19:29

@ic86 welcome to the dreadful 2WW.
Do as I say not as I do ...but wait for AF to be late!
I tested at 9/10 dpo...BFN
But implantation takes 6-12 days after ovulation and another 48 hours for enough hcg to be produced ....and earliest implantation is average 9-10 days I've heard so....just wait at least till 12/13dpo is what I've personally learnt lol

MimiArm · 01/02/2020 19:32

@Hatepickinganame No, I didn't actually. It died down by bedtime and was gone by the following morning! Bizarre!

@MrsTwentySomething Yes I read that too but also read that some people (a minority) do have red though which can last up to 3 days. It's all so confusing. I'll test in 3 days but work on basis of AF. And yes, I love peeing on OPK sticks haha

Surely one of us will have a BFP gals - 🤞🤞

lc86 · 01/02/2020 19:35

@MrsTwentySeven lol it's so hard not to test early isn't it.. this is only 2nd month of trying to conceive for our 3rd child but I'm so impatient, just like everyone else I suppose. Only came off the mini pill in November so I think my body is also still trying to get back to normal which doesn't help. Promised myself I'd come off these apps and just give it time, but it's too tempting seeing other people's stories and sharing tips etc.. thank you for replying to me Smile
