Is anyone else 8 DPO in their two week wait? Hoping to find some buddies to help me hold out taking an early test!

Ugh I’ve woken up to AF :( it’s only our first month trying so I’m not going to get down about it but it’s funny how you get your hopes up. Just worried now as that’s a 30 day cycle with me ovulating on day 21...seems far too late!

Sah15 · 24/10/2020 08:35

@CharityRoyall sorry to hear that but fingers crossed for next month!! It's hard when you do get your hopes up isn't it! Xx

Af is here in full force for me too Sadit's only been 9 days since ovulation doesn't seem long enough so have just bought a thermometer to see if I'm actually ovulating, has anyone used them before?

Sah15 · 24/10/2020 08:53

@vicki1990 I haven't used a thermometer but I used ovulation strips and they were really useful actually x

Vicki1990 · 24/10/2020 09:06

@Sah15 yeah I used them for this cycle and found them really good to use, but I've read the only way to actually tell if you are ovulating is the thermometer so thought I'd give it a go and see if it's just too soon after being on the pill!

CharityRoyall · 24/10/2020 09:25

@Vicki1990 I’ve been tracking temp which is useful - combined with ovulation tests you can see what’s going on. Would definitely recommend it! I came off the pill in August and thought I ovulated last month but looking at this month’s chart compared to September’s I can see I didn’t last month but did this one. It’s good to be able to see what’s happening!
Thanks @Sah15, will just have to have fingers crossed for next month. Going to look into taking some kind of supplement to lengthen luteal phase as well, have heard B6/Agnus castus (?) is good so will do some research.

Sah15 · 24/10/2020 09:43

I gave in and took a test this morning, I nearly threw it away but there's a super super faint line, could be an evap, so I am going to give it a couple more days 🤞

@CharityRoyall @Vicki1990 sorry AF showed up for you both.

@Sah15 I caved this morning too and a BFN for me!

Juno231 · 24/10/2020 12:42

@sah15 caved today too and BFN so I hope you have more luck than me!

@Mokoblack me too!

@Vicki1990 I've been temping since June and I love it - gives me such peace of mind. I also used to doubt the OPKs, thinking I've missed it or that maybe it wasn't really the peak or what if there's another LH surge coming later and I'm silly to assume this one means ovulation etc. Temping means I don't have to worry about those things anymore :) I use a £10 femometer thermometer and only swear by FF for charting, the rest are crap in comparison!

Vicki1990 · 24/10/2020 18:21

Thank you ladies! I've ordered the femometer one as I've been using the app so good to knows it's a good one! Also ordered folic acid. Thought af had arrived in full force but I'm still spotting, just wish she would come out properly so I can get on to the next cycle!

Sah15 · 26/10/2020 06:21

Morning, how is everyone doing? Advice please, what does everyone think, BFP or too light?

8DPO- anyone else?

Juno231 · 26/10/2020 07:14

@Sah15 100% a BFP! Congratulations! 🎉 🎉

I'm out with a BFN today. I guess I've got cycle 11 to look forward to 😅

Mokoblack · 26/10/2020 08:21

@Sah15
Looks positive to me! Congratulations 💐

Monday55 · 26/10/2020 10:31

@Sah15 that's definitely a BFP, congratulations 👏

Sah15 · 26/10/2020 12:37

Furbabymum15 · 26/10/2020 15:26

@sah15 massive Congratulations..... AF is due Thursday, so was going to do a cheapie test today but have started spotting in last half hour so I think I'm out xx I was convinced I was pregnant as I had strong twinges last Thursday 😕

Juno231 · 27/10/2020 17:40

Well AF just showed at gone past 5 pm with no forewarning (neither temp or resting heart rate had dropped). How rude.

CharityRoyall · 27/10/2020 22:01

Ahhh congratulations @Sah15 ! Brilliant news, you must be so excited.

Sah15 · 28/10/2020 08:26

@Juno231 sorry that AF turned up, good luck for the next cycle 🤞🤞🤞

@CharityRoyall thank you, very excited but I keep taking tests to double check x
