So we're ttc baby #2, this will be our first month. According to my app I'm due to ovulate around Sunday, so planning to DTD lots over fertile window.

Anyone else at the same point in their cycle?

Would be nice to have company in the dreaded 2 week wait that's about to come 😂

I've just found myself Googling 5mIU pregnancy tests. Tell me I'm being ridiculous and too impatient please.
I'm 36 years old I should be able to wait 11 days 🙈

Does this look like I might be approaching ovulation? I’ve not had a line on an opk in months!

@ShutUpAlex these were the three tests I had before I got a positive one (bottom one). To be positive it's got to be as strong as or stronger than the control line I believe. I got one of the top tests with fmu then got the bottom one in the afternoon! So keep testing for sure, it may not have happened yet x

This 2 week wait is killing me!!!

I should be due on a week on Monday. Praying it doesn't come and we were successful this time round 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Boobs are quite tender and fuller and the veins seem more prominent? Also feel slightly crampy.
Just hope I'm not sure imagining this & it's the start of symptoms 🤞🏻 anyone else had similar?

missrose0110 · 14/02/2021 09:38

@LKB89 ahh it's killing me too! I should be due a week on Tuesday, so I'll keep you company. When are you testing? Xxx

It's so hard. Im due a week on Tuesday and dp was asking me yesterday if we can test yet. My boobs are killing but that's normal for me from ovulation until AF. I'm really tired but that's the only thing I've noticed.
I usually start getting cramps a week before AF so im hoping they don't start soon.

Happy Valentine's Day guys! We usually ignore it in this house but decided to get each other something small because there isn't a whole lot going on to cheer us up these days 😂

I woke up really disappointed, I got my peak on cb opk on Friday at 5 and I had a temp dip yday, and thought I'd get my spike today on bbt but it's exactly the same as yesterday. It's been about 40 hours post peak so I'm assuming I haven't ovulated, so disappointed after finally getting that peak

fairgame84 · 14/02/2021 10:38

@fifi1086
That sucks. I don't know anything about bbt so I can't tell you anything useful Flowers

Flowers222 · 14/02/2021 10:55

@Fifi1086 I tend to get 3 days of peak opks and ovulate on the third day. I got my temp rise today, after my peak on cb on Thursday. So you still might ovulate!

Fifi1086 · 14/02/2021 10:57

@Flowers222 thank you for that, that's given me some hope! We have been BDing twice a day last two days and Jesus he's on the verge of hiding when he sees me coming now 😂

LKB89 · 14/02/2021 15:28

@missrose0110 I think I may go for Friday? So then I'll know for the weekend if I am or not, that should be ok if I'm due AF on the Monday?

Hate this waiting!!!

Feel like I'm convincing myself these little twinges are different?! Pretty sure I don't get them this early on?
It's torture!

AIC2015 · 14/02/2021 16:10

I'm 6DPO, 8-10 days to AF. Getting some mild cramping feelings, like pms ☹️ wish I knew if it was AF or early preg so I'm not disappointed. Telling myself it's AF so I don't cry when it comes

mooloop · 14/02/2021 16:40

Hey everyone, happy Valentine's Day!

I'm 8DPO today and had a really vivid dream that I had a positive pregnancy test. So, like an idiot, I tested - obviously BFN! Trying to prepare myself for AF coming. My luteal phase last month was only 10 days which I've been worrying about, so if she is coming she won't be far away Sad

Wishing everybody baby dust as always 🤞🏻🍀

fairgame84 · 14/02/2021 17:16

Im desperate to know because I feel shocking. Im not too bad in the morning but after dinner I have zero energy. I've been breathless folding the washing this afternoon!
Im just going to have to wait 😩

RoseP123 · 15/02/2021 13:29

Hi All, had a few days offline whilst ticking off the DPO .. on day 6 now so still some way to go.

I've decided i'm definitely not testing until after the 23rd when AF should arrive. Anyone else resisting the temptation with me ? Smile

AIC2015 · 15/02/2021 14:09

@RoseP123 I'm 6DPO and AF due for me 23rd too! I'm trying to resist aswell 🙈

RoseP123 · 15/02/2021 14:17

@AIC2015 we can do it Smile i'm just not going to buy any tests then I won't be tempted! I also think it's unlikely I'd get a positive anyway, it's only our first month TTC, so saving my money this time around haha.

Needingsupportplease · 15/02/2021 14:22

I'm due on the 20th. Just stupidly did a frer, negative now I feel shit even though I know i shouldn't of even done it. Not even sure i ovulated this month not long been off the pill and not tracking. Resist the urge ladies haha! X

RoseP123 · 15/02/2021 15:19

@Needingsupportplease you never know, there is always still a chance if AF hasn't arrived, you've still got a few days to go! Fingers crossed for you :)

Flowers222 · 15/02/2021 15:34

I ovulated a week later than expected so only 1/2dpo currently. I am going to resist until the 28th (at least I will attempt to resist 🙈)

Flowers222 · 15/02/2021 15:35

@Fifi1086 did you get a temp rise in the end?

Needingsupportplease · 15/02/2021 15:42

Thankyou @rosep123 id be very lucky if I was think weve only had sex 6 times this month.. need to up my game haha but with a toddler I'm always exhausted lol!

RoseP123 · 15/02/2021 15:53

Don't count yourself out @Needingsupportplease - only needs to be once at the right time Smile Can't imagine trying to do it with a toddler, it's tiring enough just learning about your cycle let alone having a little person to look after too haha!

Good luck @Flowers222 - stay strong :)! haha

Arrierttyclock · 15/02/2021 16:05

Finally got my static yesterday on day 11! I wasn't going to test anymore as I read you should stop after 10 but after some ladies on another thread said they got their static on day 11 I thought I may as well give it ago and it was!!! So happy I thought I was out this month. DTD Saturday and Sunday. Think my husbands had enough but I'm hoping he can pull through for tonight then I've promised him a break 😂

I'm abit confused though as to when to TWW starts, isit from peak so today's my first day post ov?

RoseP123 · 15/02/2021 17:11

@Arrierttyclock good news on the peak! Yes I think you use the day after peak as 1DPO, as unless you're doing BBT too you probably won't pin point the exact time it happens.
