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!

@ploopypleepy I ovulated on Sunday so today I'm starting my 2WW Smile

I didn't buy any OKP (?) tests either , will wait 6 months if it doesn't happen then I'll go down that route.
We dtd enough to cover all bases so I am quite hopeful 🤞 and egg white discharge was quite strong so I know I'm ovulated.
What an exciting time, really wish all of you a confirmed pregnancy ☺️

[quote Poppypop87]@HopingForBabyM2021 that just shows its so hard to know when you ovulate isn't it. I've been using an app to track my periods for a long time before ttc and that does show when you should be ovulating but obviously isn't accurate.

I'm 33 and DH is 29 and this will be our first aswell

@158ff I've also been feeling sick the last couple of days, it's so hard to not think it's related even though there's no way it can be yet[/quote]
I did blood tests when my Flo app was telling my ovulating.
GP said bloods confirmed I was ovulating when the app said - therefore it is quite accurate for me. So that's another way so see if your chosen ovulation app is predicting accurately for you.
I'm glad I did this as it saves me energy from testing ovulation with tests
Good luck 🌸

@HopingForBabyM2021 haha thank you 😊

Soo when does everyone start testing? Any poas addicts? Are you guys gonna test on your own? With your partner?

ohhisammi · 29/03/2021 08:25

Morning :)

I'm 9dpo today and just did a early CB digital test and got BFN.

Has anyone had that before and then got positive ?

I know it's super early.

Going to test again Wed / Thurs and then again Sat when AF is due.

BrodieKD · 29/03/2021 08:48

@ohhisammi that's disappointing but I'm sure I've seen people say they aren't as sensitive as other early tests. You aren't out until af arrives...keep positive 🤞

HopingForBabyM2021 · 29/03/2021 10:45

@ohhisammi some people get very faint positives as early as 7dpo, but it is really rare. It's perfectly normal to get a false positive at 9dpo and go on to get a BFP closer to AF as the hormones build up in your body. Take a look at the website, it's amazing : www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/dpo-chart.php?dpo=10

@BrodieKD I am so impatient that I'll probs start testing at 7dpo even though I know it'll be a BFN, but it will keep me sane! My logic is that if I don't test, I'll be constantly wondering if there's enough HCG for a BFP, which will make me anxious. But if I do test and get a BFN, I'll be okay because I know it's still vvvv early and I could still get a BFP further down the line. Slightly weird logic but hey ho!

@ohhisammi so we are, fingers crossed! Don't stress too much about your negative, there's still time :)

Last month and the one before I tested sooo much. Last month I got a faint line on a cb early detection at 12dpo, I felt hesitant but couldn't help getting my hopes up! A few days later my breast pain went away and I held out til day af was due to test (17dpo) and was negative. This month I feel much less drive to test, I think because I'm worried I'll get a positive and get my hopes up and it not stick.

BrodieKD · 29/03/2021 11:04

@HopingForBabyM2021 that's exactly the same as me. My h2b keeps telling me to hold off but my thought process is that if I test earlyish and I get negatives then I'll expect negatives...if I wait the anticipation of 'test day' will build it up so much that I'll be mega disappointed as I'll have convinced myself that it'll be a positive.

I've already thinking if I get a positive this weekend (on my own) then I'm going to do an Easter egg hunt and the test will be the prize at the end 😂 I'm not feeling any symptoms though (5dpo) and we didn't dtd on ovulation day so I don't feel like my chances are good this month.

Mum2Girls19 · 29/03/2021 11:29

Morning all

@Veronika13 you don't always ovulate the same time every cycle. I've been caught out my late ovulation a few times. Temping is the best way to track it but I'm using the dip test strips. Usually my app is there or thereabouts but sometimes I have random cycles of up to 4 days later than the app predicts.

ohhisammi · 29/03/2021 11:38

@HopingForBabyM2021 @hullabaloo19 @BrodieKD

Thank you girls.
Hopefully it's just too early Daffodil

Yeah I can imagine. I've been tracking my period for two years and blood tests twice, both times the app was spot on, so my GP is confident in its accuracy.

We also dtd every day (on rare occasions every other day) so I'm hopeful we can't miss it 😁🤞

klm018 · 29/03/2021 13:05

I don't think the digital tests are as sensitive so not out yet.

Having a its definitely not happening this month kind of day.

hullabaloo19 · 29/03/2021 15:22

Me too @klm018

hullabaloo19 · 29/03/2021 17:52

Anybody else have this - my breast tenderness seems to consistently be non-existent in the morning. Starts around lunchtime and gets worse throughout afternoon and evening. I wonder why?!

ploopypleepy · 29/03/2021 19:12

I don't tend to get much breast tenderness. Had a twinge in what felt like my ovary today whilst I was playing with DSS and had lots of CM ... nothing else though, I'm 7dpo

Mum2Girls19 · 29/03/2021 21:21

I've got ovary pain quite badly tonight girls...
Feels like period pains? but its not

anyone else had this??
I am 5 dpo

BrodieKD · 29/03/2021 21:35

@Mum2Girls19 I've had cramps this evening and I'm 5dpo. I actually felt faint lying in bed last night too which I've never had before. Not sure if anyone's had that before? Last month I had big heavy boobs at this stage but I've not this month.

Mum2Girls19 · 29/03/2021 21:40

@BrodieKD I was like that last month...my boobs were really sore not this month, now I just have cramps and im 5 dpo :)

hullabaloo19 · 30/03/2021 07:50

Caved and tested this morning with FMU (10dpo), bfn :( will probably test again on Thursday. Still time but it's always disappointing isn't it.

BrodieKD · 30/03/2021 08:24

@hullabaloo19 it always is :( fingers crossed for Thursday! It's still early. What kind of test did you use?

ohhisammi · 30/03/2021 08:36

@hullabaloo19
I'm the same today.
I've tested with a CB Digi but not sure how much I trust them.
Have First Response coming today.

Let's both think positive 10dpo thoughts ♥️

hullabaloo19 · 30/03/2021 08:36

@BrodieKD the easy@home ones, I use their ovulation tests and got a box with like 50 ovulation and 20 pregnancy tests. They're 10mlU/ml which is pretty sensitive, though the manual says day after missed period.

Yeah I might get a first response to use on Thursday 👍 I always hear bad stuff about blue dye tests and the digitals aren't as sensitive I don't think. Fingers crossed Smile

Flossyvossy · 31/03/2021 09:25

Anyone feeling pregnant yet? I'm 6dpo and feel nothing 😑...
