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 😂

@RoseP123 fab thanks rose!!

Fifi1086 · 15/02/2021 19:08

@Flowers222 thanks for asking! So I used a cheapy opk yday which had been stark negative all month even when I got the cb peak, and got a positive yday so that reassured me! I think the cb just caught the very beginning of the surge, I'm fairly sure I ovulated this morning due to pains and the amount of EWCM, so haven't had a spike yet but am expecting it tomorrow!

Needingsupportplease · 16/02/2021 09:23

My relaxed approach didn't last very long.. ordered some opks haha. Am going to track from next cycle. Got period pains this morning so no doubt shes on her way 😔 never realised how much I wanted a 2nd until I stared at a negative test. Grrr. Fingers crossed we get some positives!

Hello everyone,

Hope it is okay for me to join.

I have irregular cycles according to the Flo app but it's said I'm due to ovulate this weekend - I have no idea if I will or not, I don't tend to get any CM to show me. I have bought some OPKs but to be honest they sound very confusing so might give them a miss! I don't really understand how to use them!

We are ttc baby number 2, only just starting out xx

@AliceS88 I totally recommend the clear blue digital advanced OPKs, the simple strips are too confusing for me too!
LKB89 · 17/02/2021 09:42

Arghhh this wait is killing me! I never knew realised TTW was so brutal!

RoseP123 · 17/02/2021 10:34

@AliceS88 I also use the Clear Blue OPK's and found them useful :)

@LKB89 what DPO are you on now? I have to admit it is getting harder to resist temptation to test but I don't think it will have happened this month so trying to put it out of my mind until AF arrives!

LKB89 · 17/02/2021 11:00

@RoseP123 I am 10 DPO, AF due Monday. The suspense is dreadful, I cant get it out of my mind! Trying my best to wait for weekend before i test! x

Kay94 · 17/02/2021 11:15

Same here, AF due on Saturday. Did a test a few days ago which was negative and now I’m trying my best not to test too early! Been very crampy and uncomfortable the last week, so not sure what’s going on. Fingers crossed for everyone x

RoseP123 · 17/02/2021 11:50

@LKB89 yeah it is difficult, try and keep yourself busy. Is this your first TWW? It is mine - i didn't know what to expect!

Fingers crossed @Kay94 !

AIC2015 · 17/02/2021 12:16

I'm currently 9dpo, tested yesterday and it was negative so obviously that makes me automatically think that's me out (even though I knew it was too early). AF due in 5 days and I have back ache and sore boobs, so could go either way. Only thing positive for me is that hormonal acne hasn't turned up yet and my appetite hasn't increased which it usually does before AF. Will likely test again on Monday 😩

RoseP123 · 17/02/2021 12:41

im also 9DPO @AIC2015 those symptoms sound positive! Fingers crossed! I've had nothing yet, not planning on testing unless AF doesn't arrive!

LKB89 · 17/02/2021 13:32

@AIC2015 & @Kay94 keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you!

@RoseP123 kinda the first month properly tracking everything, its crazy! Never knew so much about myself!

I have fuller boobs slightly tender but not really sore, which is pretty normal for me before AF....but i almost feel like my nipples are tingling? Like they aren't sensitive to touch but i feel them there? if that at all makes sense?
Also i have a major flaky scalp?! Very rare for me to have that....its not itchy, just there flaking.

Probably totally unrelated and i'm symptom checking haha!

RoseP123 · 18/02/2021 12:36

Getting tempted to order a FRER to test tomorrow - trying to resist! I don't know why I want to do it, I don't feel like this will be our month but curiosity is getting the better of me!

Arrghh Confused

RoseP123 · 18/02/2021 14:33

Good job I didn't order a test .. I think AF has arrived - completely out of the blue! Only 10DPO and not due AF until 23rd. I can usually tell when AF is on it's way.

Good luck to others! Smile

LKB89 · 18/02/2021 15:19

Ahh no @RoseP123 I hope not!

I had a BFN this AM 😟 I caved!
10 days DPO so think I'm out too! X

Flowers222 · 18/02/2021 18:48

@RoseP123 really sorry AF arrived. Odd it showed up so out of the blue! Definitely time to treat yourself now though!

@LKB89 oh no! Sorry you got a BFN! 10dpo is still early so fingers crossed for you! 🤞

RoseP123 · 18/02/2021 19:34

@LKB89 @Flowers222

Yeah I'm not sure what's happened here, bit of an odd cycle! I've not long been off the pill so hopefully it's just that.

I've updated it in the Glow app and now it's changed my previous ovulation days which isn't helpful Sad does anyone else use any apps which are worthwhile?

CD1 again for me .. here we go again!

Hopefully others have luck this month! Smile

Flowers222 · 18/02/2021 20:25

@RoseP123 ah my cycles were all over the place when I came off the pill last year! I have never used glow. I use Fertility Friend as I like the graphs it gives for temps and femometer as you can scan your opks and it gives a % for how dark they are getting. If you don't temp I wouldn't bother with FF.

LKB89 · 19/02/2021 07:19

@Flowers222 hopefully!
Af due Monday, might take another test on Sunday to be sure sure, or just wait till the unwelcome thing arrives?!

My boobs have been slightly tender ontop live I've done weights and swollen for over a week now?! Usually happens a few days before...but again I can't hold on to this since I have had a BFN! We shall see 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Needingsupportplease · 19/02/2021 11:13

I got another BFN this morning, due on tomorrow so presuming I'm out! :(

fairgame84 · 20/02/2021 14:52

I'm having a bit of a meltdown today.
AF is due on 23rd. I had some spotting on the morning of 18th and though AF was starting but the spotting only lasted that morning. I convinced myself it was implantation bleeding. Tested today, expecting 2 lines but instead it was a BFN.

I'm really concerned now. I've had some spotting after sex which started in December. My GP examined me and said I have a red cervix and if I had any further spotting I need a colposcopy.
I just think there is something really wrong and I'll not be able to get pregnant.
I've had mild cramps, tiredness and nausea for 2 weeks now and I've had enough.
I feel so stressed.

mooloop · 21/02/2021 08:49

Hey everybody!

Just wanted to check in, hope everyone's feeling OK?

I still can't believe it, but I got my BFP on Friday evening (13DPO), confirmed by another test yesterday morning! I had cramps that really felt like AF was coming and a little bit of brown spotting, so honestly thought I was out. Praying this little bean sticks! 🤞🏻

Good luck everyone, reading these threads has helped me so much ❤️🤞🏻🍀

Anyone else approaching ovulation?
Needingsupportplease · 21/02/2021 15:56

Congratulations @mooloop that's fantastic news fingers crossed for a happy and healthy pregnancy. I'm defo out AF came today. Owell ready to track and try again!

Flowers222 · 21/02/2021 16:08

@mooloop congratulations! That's a strong line. I'm so happy for you!
