@stabal I don't blame you. You've had a tough year, and yes we all need to be kinder on ourselves you are right. Half a stone milestones are good to measure like you say, I think half a stone a month is also achievable. I'm not stopping ttc but im putting less stress on myself now and hoping that will help it happen.

ReiRiko · 31/10/2020 16:32

@Stabal thanks! This is the first time I ovulate on clomid which is reassuring.

Today's update is still bfn but breasts still sore. I'm pretty sure AF will arrive soon based on the small cramps I had today... but will keep testing until it shows it self.

Interesting cycle this time. So I had 3 days of ewcm followed by a temp rise with no peak opk. Temp stayed up since then but then had another 2 days of ewcm with a positive opk on day 25 and 26 and today I have another temp rise.
I thought I was 7dpo but I suspect I’m only 1dpo??? This should be a fun 2ww!!!

butterfly5291 · 01/11/2020 08:32

@LT103 yeah probably are only 1dpo especially based on that peak the other day. I'm 1dpo too so we'll do TWW together.

Same here! I just tested at 8DPO (couldn’t resist) and I have all symptoms but I am both on Clomid + Cyclogest (first cycle). I don’t know if it’s the medicine giving me symptoms or paranoia?

I face been TTC for 11 months and just got diagnosed with PCOS and had an oophorectomy 3 years ago. I am losing the plot and so stressed. Insomnia due to this is my best friend!
Baby dust to all of us ✨.

LT103 · 01/11/2020 08:44

@butterfly5291 we always seem to be in sync 😂. My plan is not to test at all this 2ww but will see how that goes haha

dobzyj · 01/11/2020 10:58

@ReiRiko what day you on?

dobzyj · 01/11/2020 11:04

Any advice ladies? So I'm 15 dpo. I did a clearblue opk on day 15 and got a high, didn't test again on day 16 but tested again on 17 with a different tester ( so that I didn't just get another peak) and got a negative. So that suggests I ovulated on day 16. This was the 17th October. I also temped and it rose on day 17 so I knew I'd ovulated. I'm now 15dpo and I did a PT yesterday at midday with BFN. I'm usually due AF on day 29 or 30 of cycle and this is now day 31 and still nothing. Would you test again? When's the best time to test? Wondering if the urine was weakened so got a BFN or if AF is just late?

LT103 · 01/11/2020 11:38

@dobzyj that sounds good so far! I would test again tomorrow morning with first morning urine so it isn’t diluted and see. Some people don’t get a bfp until later. It does sound like your dates are correct though so fingers crossed!!!

dobzyj · 01/11/2020 11:44

@LT103 thank you. I'm so confused. Had all the symptoms I usually get for AF but nothing. I always get like a wet feeling as I it's coming and sore boobs etc but nothing. But I've had no implantation bleeding or any symptoms to suggest I'm preg but yet still no AF even though BFN. I'll try again tomorrow first thing.

Sprinkling baby dust for the 2WW ladies xx

dobzyj · 01/11/2020 11:47

@butterfly5291 just round the fertile days when you need it at maximum levels haha. I don't think it would hurt though but on fertile days just BD instead of that as well. Xx

dobzyj · 01/11/2020 11:49

@CAG14 just saying hello. I know how you feel about the detaching this month, it affects your mind sometimes doesn't it. Keep smiling Smile

ReiRiko · 01/11/2020 11:51

[quote dobzyj]@ReiRiko what day you on?[/quote]
According to my 21 progesterone test that came back positive, I am estimating dpo11 but I could be wrong as I'm not exactly sure when I had ovulated exactly. I tested this morning but still bfn. Ordered some FRERs so will test with those tomorrow.

I would say for your situation wait until first morning urine. It's a little strange that you don't have any bfp at dpo15 but I guess some ladies might show bfp later on. Do you have any symptoms at all?

ReiRiko · 01/11/2020 13:33

Just got my FRERs and I'm fighting the will to test today 😩 I really think AF is about to show its ugly face any minute now going by these cramps. I'm so scared

Stabal · 01/11/2020 13:47

@ReiRiko good luck! 🤞

Stabal · 01/11/2020 13:51

@stepmumSW5 how are you doing? 🥰

Vi2020 · 01/11/2020 14:02

Thank you @CAG14 😌

CAG14 · 01/11/2020 14:09

@dobzyj thank you lovely! That is so annoying with the BFN and symptoms. I hate it when all the symptoms are basically the same as AF!

@reiriko good luck!

@butterfly5292 @lt103 I'm 2DPO so not far in front of you ladies!

stepmumSW5 · 01/11/2020 19:23

@Stabal hello!glad to see you're back. I'm having my 12 week scan this week. We found out we are having a baby boy 💙 I'm excited and scared. Had a bit of a moment with gender disappointment but it didn't last long and I'm feeling excited again. Most symptoms are gone except the peeing a lot and food aversions. I'm just feeling really anxious about lockdowns and my husband not being able to be there to support me. But trying to stay positive for now. How's everything going for you? 🌸

Stabal · 01/11/2020 19:33

@stepmumSW5 you're not going to believe this but the reason I posted asking how you were doing is because a couple of nights ago I dreamt that you posted in here that you were having a boy and it's been on my mind ever since! So weird! Ahh, so exciting 💙 are they allowing partners in to the 12 week scans where you are? I can understand how anxious you are. I'm okay, in limbo again this cycle. My boss messaged tonight to tell me her daughter in law had her baby early, she was due a couple weeks before me. So I'm feeling sorry for myself as usual haha. Cake is my friend this evening!

butterfly5291 · 01/11/2020 21:02

@stepmumSW5 I was thinking about you the other day too. How did you find out so early? Did things get sorted with your SC and their mum moving away?

@CAG14 aw really close...TWW buddies! I ordered some super early detection tests from a website called zoom baby last night.

@Stabal aww I'm sorry. Eat the cake and drink the wine!

stepmumSW5 · 01/11/2020 21:08

@Stabal well.deserved cake! That's crazy about the dream. Another 2 friends also dreamt about my baby even before knowing! We are all connected i guess. You're always in mind and I'm always sending the best baby vibes to you 🌸

@butterfly5291 hello! How are you? So she agreed to wait a couple of years until he's a bit older. Phew! We found out the gender via the harmony test.

They are still allowing partners in the scans but im doing them privately, I'm not sure about nhs in my area but i think so too. I'm not sure if it will change from Thursday on though. Luckily my 12 and 20 week will be before and after the lockdown.

dobzyj · 01/11/2020 22:48

@butterfly5291 @ReiRiko @LT103 @CAG14 well after being confused today, I'm not anymore..... AF landed. So it's back to CD1 and another cycle. So I am also wanting cake and wine! 😐 sprinkling baby dust for everyone

upschittscreek · 01/11/2020 23:37

Hi Smile

Hope it's OK to join? DH & I have just decided to "see what happens" for a while and maybe think about ovulation tests etc in the new year. We're both 27 and feel like this pandemic has just made us think life's too short, why not just go with it instead of waiting for the perfect circumstances, which of course will never exist!

I use the Flo app but other than that really haven't got a clue what I'm doing tbh Grin

Any recommendations on the better pregnancy tests to use? I've only ever taken one (negative) before, years ago!

Good luck to everyone else! Smile
