@Mum2Girls19 have you tested again? Fingers crossed for you

@Lins3y how are you feeling? Has it sunk in yet?

@StaceyWS88 hi hun, how are you doing? Did you end up testing again or holding off now? Your symptoms sound promising!

@amyannx so sorry about your negative. Good luck for testing tomorrow. You're definitely not out yet and may have implanted later or yesterday?

@climbershell sorry to hear AF arrived 😔

@Charm23 hi, good luck for your journey, where abouts are you in your cycle?

I tested today at 9dpo on a FRER and BFN, not even a squint of a line so feeling a bit deflated. 😔

amyannx · 07/03/2021 09:59

@melissa112 thanks I did a test this morning bfn, I think I'm out, think af is on the way had bad cramps for a few hours last night too x

amyannx · 07/03/2021 10:01

@melissa112 9dpo is still early so fingers crossed its just to early for you yet, I'm 11dpo that's why I don't hold much hope for me especially with the cramps last night x

Hey everyone, how are you all doing? I posted on here last week as I was pretty confused about my OPK’s I’d started using. I wasn’t getting any kind of line at all (using the One Step strips) and I’d notice don lots of forums that you should see some sort of line as LH is always detected but obviously darkens when the surge happens. I’ve been using a couple of apps to track my periods and ovulation as I’d seemed a little irregular the last couple of months. (Periods starting a few days earlier than expected or even a few days late).
Anyway, I finally got a darker line on Thursday and I’d already caved and bought clear blue digital OPK. I got my solid smiley on Friday and we DTD that night. Had lots of watery EWCM this month too which started on Friday. Been DTD a few times last week too on the run up to ovulation. We didn’t do it last night but hoping to later as I’m still getting some EWCM.

What are peoples thoughts/experiences with EWCM? As I had my peak on Friday I understand that you’re about to ovulate. As the CM is still around a little bit today does this mean it’s still worth trying later? X

Lizbb · 07/03/2021 13:15

@Confused678866 hey hun would have thought defo a day before ovulation. Peak day and day after. Any other day will be for pleasure. No harm there enjoy 😄

Bam1504 · 07/03/2021 13:42

Hey everyone, just catching up with the posts over the past week. I work in a school so it’s been pretty mental this week!

I’ve been tracking my cycle for over a year now and it varies... a few months in a row I’ll have 28-30 day cycles and then all of sudden 22-24 days. Last month was 22 days, month before 24 days. Currently on CD and no sign of AF! I had cramping on CD22 like I do day before AF but still hasn’t arrived. Hoping it was implementation cramping! I took a test yesterday morning which was BFN so going to wait a week and see if AF shows up! Fingers crossed!

Bam1504 · 07/03/2021 13:43

Currently on CD24*

melissa112 · 07/03/2021 16:23

@amyannx there's still hope hun. 11dpo is still early. Hope AF stays away!

@Lizbb good news on the static smiley 🙂 wishing you loads of luck

@Confused678866 defo worth trying again if EWCM is still around but sounds like you have the main ones covered.

@Bam1504 fingers crossed for implantation cramping especially if AF hasn't reared her head. Good luck hun xx

melissa112 · 07/03/2021 16:32

Can I ask your thoughts on this test please?I tested this morning, 9dpo, BFN on a FRER. Id used the bathroom at 2am but did the test at 9 without fluids inbetween so a good 7 hour hold.

This afternoon out of sheer madness I decided to waste my money some more and do another test. I think I can see a really faint line that does look pinker in real life but I cant be sure. What do you think? Top is this morning, bottom this afternoon

AthersB · 07/03/2021 16:48

@melissa112 Oh geez!! I think that might be positive!! I've been wondering when you were going to test as I think we are on the same cycle days etc.
I'm so tempted to test but don't want to be disappointed again 😌

Bam1504 · 07/03/2021 16:55

Thanks @melissa112 ☺️ Also I can definitely see a 2nd line on the bottom test! I’d leave it a couple of days and test again. Fingers are crossed for you!

AthersB · 07/03/2021 16:59

@melissa112 Did you have any symptoms?

Lollipop25 · 07/03/2021 17:03

@melissa112 def see a line on the bottom one 🤞for you🤗

melissa112 · 07/03/2021 17:05

Thanks ladies. Im keeping cautiously optimistic and will no doubt not be able to resist testing tomorrow morning just to see if it's any clearer.

To be honest I had zero symptoms other than yesterday morning I got some cramps in my stomach but they were sort of mid abdomen not pelvis area and quite painful. Lasted about 20mins, same this morning but for a shorter time. No fluid or anything (sorry if TMI). Boobs feel more normal. I feel a little bit tired but I have a toddler who likes to up when the sun rises so could be that

That's why I'm not really sure on the tests with no symptoms? I guess time will tell.

@AthersB when do you think you will test? X

AthersB · 07/03/2021 17:18

@melissa112 You give me a little bit of hope! Apart from a bit of a weird feeling in my stomach I've got no symptoms at all.
It's my little ones birthday on Wednesday and I'm not sure whether to test before or leave it until after. AF is due on Saturday 🤷‍♀️

I got my bfp 5 days ago and only felt tired hun. I was sure I would have other symptons but I didn't. Xx
melissa112 · 07/03/2021 17:27

@AthersB ahh how lovely. My LOs birthday is Thursday and AF due Saturday. I wasn't going to test til after but then decided if it was still negative Wednesday then I'd feel more confident of AFs arrival and be able to put it out of my mind. Not that the birthday wouldn't be all about him as it will be.

I had a weird feeling in my stomach that I cant quite put my finger on. Like a bit achy? I dont know.

@Ttc2020no2 oh thanks hun, that is reassuring. Congratulations on your BFP, lovely news. Did you test before AF was due?

Confused678866 · 07/03/2021 17:28

Yes I do feel like we’ve given it a good go this time around, once more later won’t hurt... partner says he feels like he has ‘another job’ and I’m treating him like a piece of meat 😂
I don’t see him saying no though! Xx

Confused678866 · 07/03/2021 17:29

@Lizbb sorry that post above was in reply to you! X

Confused678866 · 07/03/2021 17:30

@melissa112 Yeah I had a little bit of EWCM this morning but not as much as the last couple of days but I’ll give it a go anyway, no harm is there!

I can definitely see a line in your second test!!! Fingers crossed for you!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Please let us know how you get on! Xx

G123S · 07/03/2021 19:39

Newbie here. Hope I can join?
Been TTC for over 2.5 years
Tried Clearblue digital and now using Premom so can see LH surge and taking pregnacare.
Under consultant but awaiting laparoscopy think I have endometriosis had 4 flare ups in last 6 months but all of a sudden stopped
Husbands motility slightly low.

I have quite an active lifestyle and stressful job. Been told by many this won’t help TTC does it really make a difference?

Any advice would be much appreciated
Thank you

Lins3y · 07/03/2021 20:08

Hey everyone, I've had such a busy day with work etc and haven't been on! I hope you're all doing well?

@melissa112 I'm feeling great thanks but analysing everything! I've become addicted to pregnancy tests and keep thinking my lines are too light but then I am only 12dpo. I am 39 as well (but consider myself a young 39) so paranoid about miscarriage etc. Wow...that looks like a bfp to me! Mine at 9dpo was similar!

@Confused678866 if in doubt i would always BD with EWCM 🤞

@amyannx I had cramps like AF since my bfp so you never know! 😊

If anyone would care to comment on my tests, I would be very grateful! In my past pregnancies I did 2 tests max and never considered anything would go wrong.

March 2021 TTC Bus!
Lizbb · 07/03/2021 20:16

@Confused678866 😂😂. It has to be done. My partner does nights but when it's time it's time loool. He said but we have 2 kids already am like a third will be lovely as well. 😂😂. Bless our men ❤❤
