Hi!

I have been TTC this month. I got a flashing smiley face on the clearblue OPKS this morning so all is looking good! I would love to talk to anyone else who is also TTC this month... I am currently driving my husband mad as it's all I can talk about. 😊

@wannabeamummysobad @MrsRosaline I can never find frers in the shops! Wondering if I need to try boots rather than supermarkets/pharmacies.

I'm exactly the same as you @MrsRosaline I'm anxious about the disappointment! How else would I get to 13dpo without testing!? How are you feeling? Are your boobs still mega sore? When's AF due?

@Aims1991 I'm exactly the same. Familiar pre period cramps but also cramped 8/9dpo (typical implantation days) so not sure what to believe. I'm feeling really peaky too!

Aims1991 · 16/08/2021 12:09

@newtolineofduty hey. I've not been feeling well the last week🙄 feeling nauseous and weird pains in my stomach. I'm on CD31 and normally AF is CD27 but I ovulated late this month

MrsRosaline · 16/08/2021 13:09

@newtolineofduty yes boobs mega sore. I've also been emotional and weepy this morning. But that can also be a sign of period coming. Some cramps in lower left hand side... I'm not entirely sure when my period is due because I also ovulated late. Luteal phase is 11-13 days, so that puts me anywhere between today and Wednesday!

Eek @MrsRosaline you're doing so well to hold out! Is it feeling like torture or feeling ok!? X

MrsRosaline · 16/08/2021 13:21

I just went to the toilet and thought "should I?" But then thought - no, because if it's negative it'll upset me and I've done that to myself. At least if I see blood there's nothing I can do about it 🤷🏻‍♀️

@MrsRosaline I know it isn't easy but try to hold off until tomorrow FMU. That was the best advice you and @newtolineofduty gave me. 1 day prior to AF due date on an FRER should be pretty accurate right?🤞🏼for your BFP

newtolineofduty · 16/08/2021 14:26

I've decided I'm going to go for it with the clear blue on weds morning! Day AF due and I'm off work that day so I don't have to go to work in a bad mood if it's negative! 😂

It's easy for me in the day time as I'm out at work but I think I'll be tempted to test tonight. CB says explicitly to use FMU though if testing before period!!! X

wannabeamummysobad · 16/08/2021 14:43

@newtolineofduty 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼.
Today I've basically done nothing at work. I'm too excited thinking about the coming 9months

LittleDoveLove · 16/08/2021 14:54

@wannabeamummysobad and @QueenLagertha congratulations! That's wonderful news so happy for you both!
9 days DPO (I think) here, gonna wait a few days mainly as I have no tests 😂
Best of look @MrsRosaline and @newtolineofduty 🤞 x

Itsjustme20 · 16/08/2021 16:25

Can't wait to find out @LittleDoveLove how it goes!!

In other news, I'm either spotting or about to start AF. I'm not even upset about AF as at least I know and we can get back to trying properly! I hope it's AF and not spotting as spotting wouldn't make sense as it's at least 13 DPO from my EWCM 😂

Xxx

newtolineofduty · 16/08/2021 16:59

Could we'll be implantation bleeding @Itsjustme20! Xxx

Itsjustme20 · 16/08/2021 17:06

@newtolineofduty

Could we'll be implantation bleeding *@Itsjustme20*! Xxx
I didn't think it would be at 13 DPO? Xx
newtolineofduty · 16/08/2021 17:50

Trust me I've been Googling 13dpo symptoms all day @Itsjustme20! 🤣

Itsjustme20 · 16/08/2021 17:51

@newtolineofduty

Trust me I've been Googling 13dpo symptoms all day *@Itsjustme20*! 🤣
Ah ok then 😂😂😂 I'll wait and see if AF arrives or not then 😂 xx
newtolineofduty · 16/08/2021 18:07

When are you due @Itsjustme20!? Xx

LittleDoveLove · 16/08/2021 20:38

@Itsjustme20 I hope it's implantation spotting for you 🤞x

Itsjustme20 · 16/08/2021 20:54

@newtolineofduty

When are you due *@Itsjustme20*!? Xx
I'm 15 days late now 🤣 Although i think I ovulated around the 4th August so I'd be 12DPO now so anytime really. Xx
newtolineofduty · 16/08/2021 21:19

@Itsjustme20 oh yes of course!!!!! In hindsight Were those confusing positive tests you got ovulation so you think!? Zzz

Itsjustme20 · 16/08/2021 21:21

[quote newtolineofduty]@Itsjustme20 oh yes of course!!!!! In hindsight Were those confusing positive tests you got ovulation so you think!? Zzz[/quote]
I don't think so as I did OPKs at the same time and it was definitely not a peak 🤷🏽‍♀️

I'd love for it to be implantation spotting but I've looked online and it looks more a light pink which is more AF apparently. Fingers crossed yours is implantation! 🤞🏼 xxx

Aims1991 · 17/08/2021 07:38

Well I woke up this morning expecting AF to be here but nothing, 11dpo now and technically AF was due 5 days ago if I didn't ov late🤷🏻‍♀️ but normally have 11 days luteal phase so hoping to test tomorrow morning 🤞🏼

newtolineofduty · 17/08/2021 09:47

Good luck @Aims1991!

My understanding was implantation is light pink or brown @Itsjustme20 so that sounds good!

Oh really! After all the issues this month that would be amazing if it was 😂😂

The midwife did say you can get positives when the eggs first fertilised as it's like a short and small amount of HCG released. Xx

MrsRosaline · 17/08/2021 14:00

@newtolineofduty I've not tested yet. How're you doing? X

OP posts:
newtolineofduty · 17/08/2021 14:16

@MrsRosaline I've not tested yet either!!!!! I've managed to get hold of some FRERs though which means I'll be tempted to test this evening! I'd prefer to do that than in the morning when I'm due! Then I've got the evening to get over it if it's negative!!!!

Sounds really positive for you if AF not showed yet! When we're you thinking of testing!? We're you tempted this morning!? Xx

wannabeamummysobad · 17/08/2021 14:55

@newtolineofduty @newtolineofduty I was thinking of you both this morning. 🤞🏼🤞🏼 for the BFP!

Honestly, it's been a week but I already feel so invested in everyone's TTC journey. Stickiest of beans to us all xx
