@Char899 -is it test day yet? 🤭🤣😂🤣

Char899 · 04/11/2020 12:57

@MamaMoonbeam haha! Stay strong! 💪🏻

littleeggcup · 04/11/2020 13:03

@MamaMoonbeam I don't know why I did a test this morning 😂 I knew it would be negative!!! Definitely going to try hold off until Monday!

MamaMoonbeam · 04/11/2020 15:12

@littleeggcup 😂🤣😂 so eager to test! I'm symptom spotting left, right and centre and only 3DPO 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

littleeggcup · 04/11/2020 15:32

@MamaMoonbeam so am I! I just googled 'creamy white cm at 4dpo' 😂😂

MamaMoonbeam · 04/11/2020 15:34

@littleeggcup dont forget to google your cervix position and softness! 🤭🤭 I checked that earlier!

Bellaphant · 04/11/2020 17:22

Ahaha that was so me last month, even though I knew I wasn't. Seeing as I'm still getting positive opks today, I think last month I tried too early.

Mommabear20 · 05/11/2020 08:45

Cycle day 12 today. App says I should be ovulating tomorrow. Have dtd Monday and Tuesday and will be again tonight, tomorrow and Saturday (I'll let him rest on Sunday 😂
Then the long wait begins 🤦‍♀️

I'm massively confused - by dates, the ovulation calculator said my fertile slot was Friday -weds, which matched up with my cm being egg whites over the weekend. But got my strongest opk last night - day 14.

Do we carry on with smep? Since Friday, we've only missed Tuesday.

Last cycle was 29 days if that helps

Char899 · 05/11/2020 09:26

@Bellaphant my opk came up strongest the day after my predicted ovulation too this month. Just carry on DTD for another day or 2. If you got positive yesterday you’ll likely ovulate today

AngeloMysterioso · 05/11/2020 23:31

Evening all!

Well my 2WW is almost over, shark week due to start tomorrow... I’d promised myself with ttc this time that I wouldn’t test until my period was late (I spent a fortune on pregnancy tests last time) but I broke my rule this month as it was my DS’s first birthday the other day and I thought it would be a nice day to find out and/or tell DH. Two FRERs on Monday and Tuesday, both BFN Sad. But when I was pregnant with DS I got a BFN on the 10th Feb and BFP on the 12th when I was due on the 14th, so I haven’t given up hope yet! We DTD on every day of my FW except the day that Clue predicted I’d be ovulating- sod’s law, DH was too too tired that day. I have noticed I’ve been mega tired and quite emotional the last few days- the emotions I’m putting down to DS turning one and lockdown happening again, and I have a slightly under active thyroid which may explain the fatigue but still... I’m hopeful!

Char899 · 06/11/2020 12:41

@AngeloMysterioso fx for you that the bfn turns into a bfp like last time! Lockdown is definitely taking its toll on us too. Feel so down about it!
Do you think perhaps you ovulated later which might be why you don’t have your bfp yet?

I’ve had a set back. Should have been 6dpo today but carried on with opks as my temp didn’t spike. Had a blazing positive yesterday and today so my body obviously failed to ovulate after my previous positive opk and is going again! 1dpo tomorrow.. argh! It’s like doing a 3ww!! @MamaMoonbeam looks like I won’t be testing with you! 🙁

Bellaphant · 06/11/2020 15:49

Could it be BC you are pregnant?? I'm sure I've seen positives on opks after....

Char899 · 06/11/2020 16:12

@Bellaphant I wish! But no it wouldn’t show yet as It would have only been 6 dpo and I had negatives before the positives and the positives are going back down again now. Bad ov pains today too and mega tired and groggy so def ovulation! DTD again tonight and then the 2ww begins again!

AngeloMysterioso · 06/11/2020 17:46

Well so far no sign of AF... took a Clearblue, another BFN. Not sure how to feel atm, the first time I got pregnant (before I got pregnant with DS) I got a negative test 2 or 3 days after I was due and didn’t get a positive til I was a week late when I realised my boobs were hurting. So there’s still hope I guess!

Bellaphant · 06/11/2020 18:41

@Char899, where do you get ov pains? Mine are going down now too. First month I've used them, pleased that they do seem to make sense (although my cm was deffo much 'better' over the weekend).

Char899 · 07/11/2020 08:32

@Bellaphant I found them to be similar to af pains. Crampy and achy, most in the middle but towards my right side! Pretty sure I ov’d yesterday as temperature has crept up this morning 🤞🏼

AngeloMysterioso · 07/11/2020 09:38

There is no longer hope... AF arrived this morning Sad on to cycle 4!

Char899 · 07/11/2020 11:01

@AngeloMysterioso sorry to hear af arrived 🙁 fx for you for next month!

Mommabear20 · 09/11/2020 14:51

Hey! How's everyone doing today?

Fx 🤞 for some BFPs on here soon!!!!

Trying for number 2 too. Big age gap though as my daughter is 6. I got by BFP in September but sadly ended in an eptopic pregnancy. Didn't need surgery or medical intervention however as was small and my HCG level was quite low so hoping it has resolved itself. Today after 6 weeks of positive tests I got a negative pregnancy test confirming that pregnancy is over. Such a strange feeling to be wanting a negative test as for the last 9 months all I have wanted is a positive test. But finally means I can move on. Waiting for my period now so I know what is happening with my cycle and will then be trying again. Good luck to all trying and hope you get your positive results soon x

Bellaphant · 09/11/2020 15:58

I'm five dpo, been furloughed on Mondays so did some DIY today - needed to nap this afternoon though!

Rapunzel91 · 09/11/2020 21:34

Joining please! I have a 19 month old DD and I'd been so certain i didnt want anymore until a couple months ago when i slowly got broody. We decided to just see what happens but omg this past week had gone so slow! Forgotten how slow the days go when you're waiting to take a pregnancy test!
Period is due on Sunday and I've still not made my mind up if I'll test on the day, before or after... Also in two minds as it will mean a lot of challenges to have another as DP also has 2 children from a previous relationship. We'll see what happens!

Bellaphant · 10/11/2020 08:37

@Rapunzel91, good luck! I knew I wanted another almost straightaway, but waited a bit because I'd had an emcs.

How old are people on the thread, if noone minds?

Mommabear20 · 10/11/2020 10:46

@Bellaphant I'm 26 :) DD was born 12 days after my 26th Birthday this year 😁

Ordered some OPKs off amazon but they're taking (what feels like) FOREVER to arrive!! Have two apps to track my cycle and both giving different dates for ovulation and AF so no idea what's going on this month :( just DTD every day or every other day and hoping we catch it this month!
