Unlucky for some but hopefully not for us!
TTC #1 since January 2019
Think I missed my peak OPK despite testing 3 times a day. Was strong Friday/Saturday so think I ovulated either of those days on yesterday.
I never make it the full 2 weeks so aiming for week Friday! Anyone else?

@Carol1980 I'm either 10 or 11 dpo.

I don't know exactly when I ovulated as I ran out of clear blue digital opks and didn't want to buy more of those as they are £££ but the last one I used on Friday the 28th was giving me a flashing smiley. I used a couple of cheap opks over that weekend and don't know if I caught my 'peak' but I'm sure one was still fairly dark on the Sunday evening.

AF is due on Friday according to Clue which is the app I use for tracking.

@FlamingoG88
Bloody hard to tell isn't it !!
Every time I say I'm going to test properly this month I end up over testing and getting disappointed!
Feels like we've been trying for a few months now but in reality it's only been 2 -3 cycles !

FlamingoG88 · 11/03/2020 09:16

@Carol1980 I am finding this whole process pretty hard. Certainly I am not someone who gets pregnant after having sex once, never mind multiple times. It's weird how some people catch instantly and others don't.

ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia · 11/03/2020 13:36

Congrats @Pink15!

Still BFNs here 😩 (So much for waiting for Friday! No willpower!) and weird sporting still here.
I’m guessing it’s just a super early AF but a bit of me is still hoping for implantation. I could be anywhere between 7 and 12dpo so god knows what’s going on!

seeing your positive makes me want to test @Pink15. 1!!

congratulations! have you been trying for long?

my AF due monday but in all likelihood i will test on friday..... or today hahahahahaha

Lottieloux · 11/03/2020 13:47

Congratulations @Pink15
BFN for me this morning, my expected af has moved to the 16th so might just hold out till then got some frer on the way so I’m still trying to keep positive

FlamingoG88 · 11/03/2020 14:16

I'm out, AF is definitely on the way I reckon starting tomorrow morning fully.

On to cycle 5!

Carol1980 · 11/03/2020 14:54

Inplantation can happen anywhere between 6 ( being the earliest) and 12(being the latest)
If your getting spotting days before your due on it could be bleeding from implantation.

When is everyone's AF due on ?

My app is saying the 15th. Like I said I'm on a 25 day cycle which thankfully didn't change even after pregnancy so that was a relief. And my Af only lasts 3/4 days.

Carol1980 · 11/03/2020 14:56

Sorry should ha e said 6-12dpo x

inahaze · 11/03/2020 15:02

i think the earliest realistically to test is 10dpo?

period is due march 15th

Carol1980 · 11/03/2020 15:21

Sounds about right 🤞

caty86 · 11/03/2020 15:45

Waiting to test on 13th. Second month TTC baby no. 2

Carol1980 · 11/03/2020 16:16

Part of me feels off at the moment, I've got indegestion, gas (tmi sorry) head a splitting headache last night to the point where I had to take pain killers, upper back is sore as well as lower back ( but that's more late afternoon) had nausea last night ( but to be honest it's too early for nausea) I've had cramps first thing this morning, and the odd cramp throughout the day to the point I'm running to the loo.

I'd love to be positive about it all but part of me is thinking that when I wasn't TTC I probably had all of the above but because I wasn't paying much attention I can't remember if this is normal buildup to AF.

I do usually have some cramps about 3 days before AF is due, but I'm about 4 days away from AF just now 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I totally hate the waiting game, I'm pretty impatient with the whole TTC. I was speaking to a friend at toddler group today and I told her that I wish it was a case of " I want a baby" and someone just hands you your new born......despite the fact that pregnancy is long and has its own set of challenges, I'm actually quite looking forward to when I'm just sitting on the sofa with my daughter and husband and them being about to feel the baby move 🥰

Not looking forward to baby using my bowel as a freaking trampoline though!

Sorry for the long post, feeling fed up today !!

Lottieloux · 11/03/2020 16:32

Oh carol I’m with you on that! this whole ttc is draining if only it was as simple as waving a magic wand.
Really does amaze me how many women get pregnant from a drunk one nighter.
This will be my first and I can’t wait to have all those pregnancy feelings with my partner. When we talk about the future he gets so excited I just can’t wait to see the dad he will become so the longer it’s not happening the harder it’s coming

Carol1980 · 11/03/2020 17:07

Honestly can't tell you how amazing yet exhausting, frustrating and nerve wracking being a parent is ! But it's all so worth it !
For me my daughter has went from baby to toddler in the blink of an eye !!

I can't wait to give her a brother or sister to grow up with and always have by her side x

TWW has begun! Anyone else gonna test Friday 13th?

Oh my goodness isn’t she beautiful!! I’m the eldest of 5 and it’s honestly the best thing. I love having them ages 6-16 I’ve never felt lonely always one annoying me in the best way x

Pink15 · 11/03/2020 19:45

Thankyou girls!! Not really letting it sink until AF doesn't arrive on Sunday! I did another test this evening and also very faint positive and that was with a test of 25 sensitivity (the ones yesterday and this morning were 20).

@Carol1980 omg she's gorgeous! 😍

@inahaze this was my third cycle! So I've been lucky if I definitely am pregnant but not gonna lie - emotionally it's been very tough even 3 months has felt a lifetime and my anxiety has been through the roof.

Good luck to everyone else hopefully lots more BFP for you in the next few days! 😃

FlamingoG88 · 12/03/2020 09:45

Just thought I'd update you all as I've been to the doctors this morning. My last two periods have been pretty light and having had childhood cancer I am concerned they are a sign of something untoward.

She was very understanding of why I was scared and has referred me for two types of blood tests, one which checks all sorts including FSH levels and another to confirm if I ovulate.

Be interesting to see the results of those, I'm a little nervous that they won't be good.

Wishing you all lots of luck for BFPs in the next few days!

Carol1980 · 12/03/2020 10:03

@FlamingoG88
Sorry to hear about the childhood cancer x I hope that the blood tests come back with some positive results for you x

FlamingoG88 · 12/03/2020 10:30

@Carol1980 thank you, that's very sweet of you. Me too, I guess it's just the underlying fear I have!

Also, not had a blood test in at least 10 years and I hate needles 😭 hoping the husband can come with me x

Muda · 12/03/2020 10:37

@flamingoG88 sorry to hear that, nerves are totally understandable. Fingers crossed everything is ok

caty86 · 12/03/2020 15:55

Hi everyone, currently on 12DPO ttc no. 2. We are on our second cycle and I am paniking a lot about secondary infertilityy as we conceived the first month with my DS. Today I have had cramping and some pink/ brown spotting, feel like AF is coming. Trying to stay positive because with my first I got a lot of breakthrough bleeding and didn't get a positive hpt until 16 dpo.

Carol1980 · 12/03/2020 16:28

@caty86

It could be inplantation bleeding, but I know that not everyone gets that, or so I'm told.

My husband and I are trying for no2 as well, but time is not on our side due to my advancing age 🤣

It's frustrating as hell and a few days seem like a month when your in this position.

I would wait and see how much bleeding you get, if it lasts shorter than your usual AF then it's potentially inplantation bleeding if so that's a great sign

Remember though every day where AF doesn't show up is a day closer to a potential positive on a test 🤞

Lottieloux · 12/03/2020 19:48

I’m tempted to hold of testing till I’m 5 days late, when I was pregnant before the mc I got a bfn on the day my af was due then 5 days later got my bfp

Carol1980 · 13/03/2020 00:03

Well ladies, according to Ovia ( the app I use) I can test on Saturday.

If it's possible to trick your body in to giving you symptoms then that's more than likely what I've done as I totally feel I'm out this month, which is fine, I'll just need to try again x

Hope you are all keeping well ❤️❤️

Anyway to get me through....anyone any suggestions as to what to watch on Netflix 🤣🤣
