Well since we are at the tail end!!

@Beau2020x @quiffy @Symptomspotter86 @BFP2020 @ange211

@Mumofboys17 no I think its from the pain, they aren't normally this bad and it's just making me nauseous 🤢 maybe it's from flying through different time zones ✈️🤷‍♀️

I know right it's so weird I'll even try to help it along but nothing works haha just can't finish! Xx

@Cookiemonster19 I doubt it. Most will tell you it's impossible to get a false positive. Much more likely to get a false negative x

Whoops I accidentally hit post. Thank you, I was getting worried thinking why was the line faint this morning... but I think it was less concentrated than yesterday. I’m still only 11dpo today so it’s quite early and the tests I’ve used are not first response or early detection (which is why I was so surprised at the positive so early on) x

Cookiemonster19 · 06/02/2020 10:32

Edit: just read the packaging and says you can test 4 days before your missed period

Fredthespider · 06/02/2020 10:39

@Ange211 a spa weekend sounds like bliss! I'm glad you booked one, enjoy it :)

Katie1109 · 06/02/2020 10:46

I have just noticed some light brown spotting on my panty liner after I had absolutely nothing yesterday and af lasting only 48 hours. I have checked my cervix and I cannot even reach it, don't know what that means.
My OH has just said that he'd like to book holiday for November - I think he thinks exactly what I do, it's not going to happen so there's no reason to put life on hold x but still it make me a bit sad...thinking it is one thing, but acting on it just feels like its a done deal :( but I do understand, I don't want to put life on hold either, but what if...

BFP2020 · 06/02/2020 12:19

Hey ladies I am trying to keep up with all the chat but as I'm so busy in work its hard to keep chatting which is good because its totally taking my mind off the TWW. I saw someone was asking about Acupunture. I'll give you a little update on my situation if yer Interested.

Cycle 13 possible ENDO Laparoscopy hoping in March (have about 10 days in the whole month I feel normal) Started Acupuncture CD 10 this cycle have had 2 appointments. I found my O pain was reduced to a 5 rather than and 8/10 I'm temping as per acupuncturist and confirmed O was CD 18. I'm now 7 DPO had a little backache since but nothing like it usually is normally I need painkillers. So at the moment I am having a positive experience. I will keep ye updated Smile Hoping all pains stay away and I get lucky first month doing Acupuncture we didn't DTD that much either this month she said to do every second day as your OH balls will shrivel up!! I will attach my chart for anyone who is interested xx

BFP2020 · 06/02/2020 12:20

Afternoon All,

It's O day today. Tested last night with Femo ones.... they aren't that great not sure if I am ovulating or not I have mild cramps on my left side which is my bad side how my little raisin is managing to push an egg out I will never know !

As I have cramping do you think I am ovulating today ?

Does anyone has recommendations for a decent OPK ?

Ellsbells112 · 06/02/2020 12:51

@BFP2020 ahh nice that things are coming along for you! 7dpo?? Sorry I'm a little confused I'm sure we was cycle buddies? Lol anyway do keep me in the loop! I'm 11dpo today but had a bfn and don't feel pregnant so I know af will come, ill attach my chart. (the dip below coverline was a day where I left the window open and was so cold when I woke up lol)

@hampshirerose34 use the clear blue tests :) also try do your temperature so you get a clear picture of when you're ovulating. I never knew before starting my temperatures that you can ovulate on the same day as your temperature rise, and that happens to some people so I find it handy to do both when tracking ovulating

OP posts:
BFP2020 · 06/02/2020 14:22

@Ellsbells112 We were but then I didn't O until CD 18 and you O'd earlier.
Your chart looks good too with that dip looks like an implantation dip but as you said you think its because of the window. It's still early you can implant up to 12 DPO so fingers crossed.
I can't see this being my month but at least its a positive if she can help my pains. I will try the acupuncture for 12 weeks as that's what most ladies said online have been successful.
Rang to see if I could get a date for my Lap and she said it will be another while and that's private

Mumofboys17 · 06/02/2020 14:30

@hampshirerose34 happy O day!
I got my peak today! CB static smiley this afternoon, was still flashing this morning so hopefully as we didn't DTD last night it'll be ok to wait til tonight then probs the next 2/3 days.

Does anyone know if once you have a static smiley that the CB test is unusable? Or can I keep testing until it's negative to check I'm still in FW? X

Ellsbells112 · 06/02/2020 14:36

@BFP2020 yeah, I had a similar dip last month around the same day so it seems to not mean anything for me :)

Glad things are in motion though!! I might look into acupuncture but atm things are a bit tight

@Beau2020x where you hiding lovely :) hope you're okay.

So GIRLS it's time for my MONTHLY RANT 😂 I'm LITERALLY kicking myself for not picking up the massive chocolate and peanut Butter slab that I was GOING to when I went for breakfast. I thought oh no I don't need it! Well af cramps have come FULL FORCE as if to say HAH another egg DOWN THE DRAIN!! So I am going BACK (on foot too for FUCK sake) 😂😂 to get my bloody chocolate!!!
On another note sigh we are booked in Wednesday for sperm sample taking, so only a few weeks I think before we have results 😊
I can't wait to eat that chocolate slab, I'm going to send a picture to the group too so you can see it's awesomeness, then I'm going to curl up with a hot water bottle and read my new book mastery of love! Running on like 3 hours bloody sleep since oh decided he wanted to terrorise me(sooo not complaining with that one, I'll take it😂)
Super long message but I hope I make someone laugh lol! Xx

Fredthespider · 06/02/2020 14:59

@Mumofboys17 woohoo! The static will stay there for the next 48 hours so you won't be able to test. I wouldn't waste the sticks testing any more than necessary, but if you really want to use some cheap ones. Fingers crossed for you x

Fredthespider · 06/02/2020 15:11

@Ellsbells112 sorry about the cramps, but enjoy that chocolate!!

@BFP2020 good luck with your laparoscopy, I had mine back in 2015 and they didn't find any endometriosis :( are you taking vitamins? Pregnacare and a complex vitamin B helped to regulate my cycle. Also, are you trying to avoid ibuprofen/naproxen after ovulation if you have any pain?

Jessharlow81 · 06/02/2020 15:19

Hi my period came 4 days early last month which is unusual for me about 3-4 days after I had a light bleed which was 3 days long didn’t need a pad or anything just when I wiped could it be implantion could I have fell pregnant after my period tests up to now are negative I’m really hormonal snapping and crying at everything really bloated my boobs are sensitive and feel fuller and I’m getting waves or nausea and really craving sweet things my son is being really clingy which he isn’t usually he’s a nannies boy so that’s strange to tia

BFP2020 · 06/02/2020 15:33

@Mumofboys17 With the CB ones the static stays there for 48 hours and you Ovulate 12-36 hours after getting static so no you can't keep testing with it but I would put O day as Tomor if you got static today.

@Ellsbells112 Ya it's quite expensive I get half back each app though my healthcare so it's not as bad but I've been told 2 a month should do.

@Fredthespider We are both taking Proceive this month since CD1. My cycle is ok really I O between CD15-18 and then get AF 13/14 days later. The acupuncturist said I should be having 4 day bleeds where as I'm having 2 days and then 2 days of spotting so she thinks I'm clogged down there. Did you have really back bad backache and cramps and O pain is that why you had the Lap? I have about 10 days in the month where i'm not in pain. Since doing the 2 sessions of acupunture I def feel the pain has gotten better so far. I don't take Ibuprofen but the doctor told me I can take ponstan but I try not to take that either and just use my hot water bottle.

Katie1109 · 06/02/2020 15:37

Afternoon ladies x a very quick question, how many tablets of primrose oil do you take? x
And @Mumofboys17 I see what you meant by their size, they're massive lol :)

Mumofboys17 · 06/02/2020 15:38

@Fredthespider Haha ok, I've got about 100 IC's I can use for now then 😂😂

@BFP2020 eek! Ok will DTD today and tomorrow then.. kicking myself for not doing it last night now 😫 fml. Hopefully the next 2 days will be enough 🤞🏻 will count my TWW to start from tomorrow/Saturday then!! Xx

Mumofboys17 · 06/02/2020 15:40

@Jessharlow81 if it was implantation bleeding you'd more than likely have had a positive test after that, TTC throws your cycles all over the place sometimes so maybe put it down to a random early AF?

Mumofboys17 · 06/02/2020 15:40

@Katie1109 hahahaha glad it's not just me!! Hope you don't bloody choke on them like I did 🤦🏼‍♀️😂😂😂 xxx
