Hey everyone,

Anyone else just started ovulation or about to start in the next week. Let's start a chat and keep ourselves busy as we head through ovulation and the dreaded 2WW.

Little about me this is my 2 cycle at TTC Baby no.1 I'm about to start ovulation on fri or sat, so going to make the most of this week. I've ordered some IC ovulation sticks hopefully will arrive in next couple days and I will give them a try out. What is everyone else doing to prepare themselves for ovulation???

@Tiff94 yep think gonna walk to chemist!! It's so annoying caus half of me is like why can't you wait to see if AF comes Friday?! Rather than waste money I'm also scared of disappointment 😭😭 to those having cramps with all my pregnancy's I had cramps like o was coming on but I just never bled! Atm my boobs are so sensitive I feel so bloated and even feel sick! But dunno if my body is tricking me

beckyBP · 22/07/2020 09:26

Loving all the positive vibes here! Already 2 BFPs and looks like there will be more!

AF is due in 2 days for me and I've been cramping quite a bit. Think I'm probably out but not giving up hope until AF arrives!!

Littlehelper101 · 22/07/2020 09:39

@Tiff94

Let me know if you see what I see
I can deff see a very faint line!

I don't know why but I feel less symptoms so am feeling less positive but still trying to remain.

I managed to get a blood test booked at my local pharmacy it's booked for 10am! Feel like this will be more accurate because they don't sell FRER here which s annoying (I'm in South America)!

Will post my results! Currently 11 or 12 DPO

Littlehelper101 · 22/07/2020 09:55

Someone posted this on another forum! Not sure how legit it is x

I have no symptoms at all which I should have if AF is 2days away. I just ordered a CB digital from amazon will arrive tonight so will test tomorrow with that. Probably try a couple cheapies later and see if it shows on them. Just checking my apps And one says I'm 11pdo the other 13dpo so not sure which is actually got by as I never confirmed ovulation with opk this month just knew when it was happening. So could be a day out or so maybe that's why line so faint. Positives vibes for everyone still waiting to test. Baby dust all over

@tiff94 I see the line 🥰 omg so happy for you!!!! This is the best group ever. Even if someone gets a BFN (which I have a feeling won't happen) we can all keep supporting each other!!! Sending all the good vibes.

I actually feel less symptomatic than I have the previous week or two! I went and got a blood test today, just to be extra sure! Will find out tomorrow and let you all know. ♥️

Gab101 · 22/07/2020 10:33

@tiff94 I took a CB digital this morning and it said not pregnant but I think that's because it's far too early for me as I'm only 11DPO

lastbany · 22/07/2020 10:53

@Tiff94 so I walked baby past chemist they didn't have frear tests but had some cheap (£3 for two) early detection tests which said from 10dpo and it's a BFN so I think I'm out!! Feel deflated as this is second month only using app but before I have been so fertile even falling preg on the coil!! So is it because I'm older now?! I dunno but feel really shit tbh as I know for my mat leave etc and leaving my baby it's not gonna work out well! 😭😭 for me but 😍🥰 for all your BFP

Tiff94 · 22/07/2020 11:00

@Gab101 I will see then I have another FRER I might use at same time as CB just to see. So happy for the BFPs in the group I'm sure there are many more to come.

@lastbany don't count yourself out until AF arrives. How old are you do you mind me asking ? I've known women to have baby's when older my mum had my younger a brother in her 40s so if this isn't your month maybe next is. This always happen when they happen we can't force it even though we want to. Wishing you all the best can't wait to hear your BFP

I’m older too. I’m 38 now, had DD who is 16 when I was 21 and DS who is 17 months when I was nearly 37.

lastbany · 22/07/2020 11:08

@Tiff94 I'm 36! I had my kids when 19:24 and then my last two days befor my 36 on dec xx

lastbany · 22/07/2020 11:08

@Sexnotgender similar to me! I have a 17 and 12 yo then 7 months x

Tiff94 · 22/07/2020 11:10

@lastbany then I wouldn't count you as too old. Have you tried opks to confirm ovulation just to make sure your making best time of fertile window ? Maybe give that a go if not this month.

OP posts:
lastbany · 22/07/2020 11:16

@Tiff94 yep I gonna do this tbh maybe I was too cocky lol I had them with my daughter (7month old) and they matched flo with ovulation only did for one month and it worked! I assumed these two months that flo would work same but maybe having baby has done something not sure? But I will buy some this month if af comes which I'm guessing it will! I'm usually on the dot and I'm due Friday x

beckyBP · 22/07/2020 11:23

@lastbany I'm due Friday too. I haven't done a pregnancy test but I'm having all my normal pre AF symptoms xx

lastbany · 22/07/2020 11:25

@beckyBP honestly I don't know why I have done!! But honestly don't worry about that because I was same with my pregnancy's always felt like was coming in just never bled!! 🥰

Tiff94 · 22/07/2020 11:27

@lastbany I'm due Fri as well I haven't had any symptoms. I tried the opks this month first time. So if it works thanks god for that, If my bpfs sticks I can post you opks I have plenty left haha 😂 you in the uk ?

OP posts:
beckyBP · 22/07/2020 11:27

@lastbany I think each to their own though! For me personally I feel that I'd be leas disappointed if AF arrived than seeing a BFN you know?

Ah really? Still hope then. Thank you 🥰🥰

lastbany · 22/07/2020 11:30

@Tiff94 I am ye and omg that's so kind!! And I'm sure s/he will!!
@beckyBP yep don't worry yet and I think you do right I shouldn't have done this it's just so tempting

beckyBP · 22/07/2020 11:32

@lastbany if I had them in the house I'd DEFO done them by now but haven't bought any as yet! Xx

Tiff94 · 22/07/2020 13:27

So did a cheapie at lunch and I can see the faintest line on that too. CB will arrive tonight. I just want an actual answer faint lines are so deceiving

OP posts:
Alice222 · 22/07/2020 13:45

@Tiff94 that sounds really promising! I hope the CB confirms it for you!

I've just ordered more FRERs 🙈 arriving tomorrow so hoping to wait until Friday to test if AF doesn't arrive.

Tiff94 · 22/07/2020 13:56

Thanks @Alice222 I really hope so. I have another FRER as well so might do both tests tomorrow and see if line is darker. Best of luck for you hope you get a BFP soon xx

Littlehelper101 · 22/07/2020 14:28

They had run out of HCG blood tests! Restocked on Monday.... my luck I'm feeling terrible right now as well Envy

So I bought these, the second one detects 10 mUI not sure about clear blue!

Baby dust to all

Littlehelper101 · 22/07/2020 14:45

BFN!

Feeling less optimistic now will wait now till AF is supposed to arrive on Sunday.
