Hey all! Today is ovulation day, the 2WW is about to begin. Anyone else on the same cycle? Let's agonise over possible symptoms together!

@Poppypop87 Amazing news! Thrilled for you Star💕Star xx

Poppypop87 · 06/04/2021 19:02

Thank you everyone Smile

Hoping there's still some more bfp's to come on here 🤞

klm018 · 06/04/2021 20:31

Congratulations @Poppypop87 a great line.

Veronika13 · 06/04/2021 21:29

11 dpo today.... getting close to some answers 😁 4 days till af (Monday).

No sore boobs (usual af sign), but not reading too much into anything else 😆

Veronika13 · 06/04/2021 21:30

@Poppypop87

Just an update from me...AF was due yesterday so did a test about an hour ago and can't believe it!
Congrats 🎉!!! How many cycles did it take? Smile
Poppypop87 · 07/04/2021 08:37

Thanks @Veronika13 this was the first cycle so I'm still in a bit of shock. Still early days though

Really hope AF stays away for you 🤞

Violet1988 · 07/04/2021 12:17

Tested again yesterday morning and line was even darker. Didn't test this morning as wanted to leave 48 hours between tests, so will test again tomorrow morning.

Is anyone feeling any symptoms yet? I've been getting really tired in the early evenings and having some headaches. Had to look up the headache one as that did worry me as I had headaches before a miscarriage but it seems it's a normal early pregnancy symptom from what I've googled. When I have symptoms I'm worried and when they go away I worry that they have gone. Going to be a long few weeks!!
So many bfps on this thread would be nice to stay in touch and see how it works out for everyone?

klm018 · 07/04/2021 17:47

Hi ladies I think I'm out caved and tested and not even a hint of a line. Af due tomorrow. Congratulations to everyone that got their BFP.

Sparklestars86 · 07/04/2021 20:29

@Violet1988 I agree- be nice to see how people get on when we've all started the journey together.
@klm018 you're not out out til AF arrives. Good luck for next month if it's not your time afterall. Xx

BrodieKD · 07/04/2021 21:08

@Violet1988 that's a lovely idea!

luce2202 · 08/04/2021 07:08

Morning ladies. AF is ending which means I can start trying again soon! This will be cycle 5 of trying.
Is there anything I can do alongside this? I've started BBT tracking but I'm not sure how accurate I can get it with a co-sleeping 16 month old🤦🏻‍♀️

How're you all doing? I hope everyone with BFP's have sticky beans!❤️

K8Tee · 08/04/2021 07:50

Congratulations on your positives ladies! Well I'm out. 4 days late (I am like clockwork so this was wierd for me), a questionably strong evap line and AF arrived this morning sad good luck ladies, l will be following still and moving over to the next month when it comes xx

Poppypop87 · 08/04/2021 08:07

@Violet1988 that's a great idea Smile

@klm018 hope AF stays away today!

@luce2202 good luck for your next cycle. I don't really have any advice but sending lots of positive vibes for this month for you

@K8Tee sorry to hear AF has arrived, good luck for the next cycle

luce2202 · 08/04/2021 09:18

@Poppypop87 thank you!

I've decided to stop using the CB OPK because they're just too expensive, so I brought some one step OPKS (the cheapie strips)
Do I still use FMU with them? When is the best time to take them?

BrodieKD · 08/04/2021 09:54

@luce2202 I ran out before my peak so used cheapy sticks last month. I tested throughout the day and used Femometer app. My advice is to try and enjoy each other this month, make the baby making as fun as possible. I stayed lying down for 15 mins afterwards. I also did a few feel good things like my hair and make up, shaved and painted my toenails. Just a couple of small things that made me feel good about myself. I doubt any of these things actually worked but it made me feel a lot more relaxed and happy this cycle.

Haha I hope this doesn't sound like I'm saying painting your toenails helps you fall pregnant...It's just a couple of things I did to make me feel more positive 😊

luce2202 · 08/04/2021 10:01

@BrodieKD I've got about 5 period tracking apps, luckily my ovulation date is around the same time on each, give or take a day each way. I'm thinking of using SMU with the cheapie strips from what I've read on the internet!

When you stayed lying down, did you elevate your hips as I've heard that's a good tip?

I'm trying to lower stress, and take time for myself this time as hard as it is with two LO's. I managed for the first time in a week to actually do skincare last night and not just splashing cold water on my face😂

I'm really hoping this month is my month, I have a good feeling about it!

Violet1988 · 08/04/2021 10:12

Test from this morning compared to two days ago. Test on the right is today's. Line is darkening nicely. I've been having lots of symptoms including some cramps yesterday, which is a little bit worrying but I know it's also normal too. I can also now see the line clearer on the non sensitive cheapy tests, but it's still faint apart from on a frer where it's very obvious. How's everyone else doing? When are you planning to stop line progress checking?

@luce2202 I think it's afternoon that's better for cheapy ov sticks. And I temped when I was trying for DC2 and DC1 was still up regularly in the night. I could still see ov on my graph. Good luck for next cycle x

1 DPO tomorrow! Any buddies?
Violet1988 · 08/04/2021 10:13

@luce2202 also suggestions for next month look up sperm meets egg plan

Sparklestars86 · 08/04/2021 18:52

@luce2202 I used boots own brand strips and I can't remember whether it was on the pack instructions or whether I read it online but I read somewhere you should do between 10am and 2pm rather than FMU. That's what I did and it seems to have helped us time to perfection! Xx

klm018 · 09/04/2021 16:06

No idea whats going on with me. Af was due yesterday and no sign. Done 2 tests and both negative. Just want AF to come now as I'm pretty certain I'm not pregnant. I'm usually very regular but maybe cp has mucked me up a bit.

Veronika13 · 09/04/2021 21:47

Af due on Monday so I tested as it's the weekend so would be nice to know and not wonder constantly.
Feel sad but I know it'll wear off after few days:) here's to the day of moping about Smile
Catching up with a friend and wish I could share my sadness! Ttc can be a lonely journey but I'm glad I have this support here x

1 DPO tomorrow! Any buddies?
klm018 · 09/04/2021 22:05

@Veronika13 I don't think the digital are the most sensitive if you are testing early but if you are out good luck in the next cycle. I totally get what you mean about the loneliness, on the surface everything is fine but the yearning for something that seems out of reach can be overwhelming.

luce2202 · 10/04/2021 08:35

@Veronika13 the digital aren't as sensitive, so there could still be a chance. It is lonely, I'm lucky to have my partner but he doesn't understand fully. If you're out good luck for this next cycle. I have my fingers crossed for you.
