Hoping to get our BFPs in January ✨

[Decaffe]

All welcome to come along for the ride and lots of support along the way!

Checking in at 5dpo, no symptoms yet!

@jazmine38 I work on a mental health ward and I know what you mean with the lateral flows 😂 everytime I need to do one or administer one the squinting and holding it in different lights come in 😅😂

@Geemmm I’m totally with you on the bfn’s lovie ☹️ BFN this morning for me too at 9dpo. I know it’s early still but thought would get a vvvvfl if I was so I reckon im out. Luckily my cycles are short so haven’t got to wait long to try again. Just draining and gets you down doesn’t it every month seeing BFN. I cracked up hun at your message about your other half hiding your tests 😂 how funny!! We are all test addicts here so needs must else we will be spending far too much haha!

@kizzy97 @jazmine38 lollll between lateral flows and OPKs I feel like all I've done the past couple of weeks is test my bodily fluids

Just trying to catch up on the thread.. It moves so quick haha! Sounds like we are in the same boat @Queenkai14 @Curlywurly3 with BFN I’m 9dpo today.
Good luck with your FRER tomorrow @jazmine38
And fingers crossed your lines continue to progress @Billymay and @Bringonbaby3 they look great so far!

Congrats everyone so far. I'm tentatively joining, normally a lurker but at 12dpo I started lightly spotting on and off which I don't usually do. Waiting to see if it turns into AF or if it's implantation bleeding. It's doing my head in!

@Billymay a test that strong 8 days PO... I'm calling twins 😂

Silly me ended up doing another 🤦‍♀️ Nothing! I now have no more tests in the house till tomorrow which is a good thing as no doubt I’ll do them. Looked online and haven’t read anything good about early positives either… it’s going to be a long evening. Xx

@Shortmamashortcycles @Moonshine160 it was me that gets cramps from straight after Ov! Not sure if @madeleine85 does too but I do remember talking to someone about it.

I've only just started noticing them though since TTC & i've never been pregnant.

First two weeks of a cycle I have no cramps at all, I think Ive felt ovulation before and I could only describe it as a stitch like pain lol, then it seems straight after ov I have mild period type cramps until I come on.

At first I thought it was a sign a little bean was implanting but now I'm just wondering if there's something wrong with me... One of my friends who's also ttc says she doesn't get this until closer to her period.

I'm hoping I'm just really in tune with my body or something and I can feel the egg trying to implant or something (that sounds crazy I know!) & for whatever reason it hasn't yet but it will.

I've tried to look it up but just end up scaring myself. Going to leave it for now & speak to a doctor if nothing happens & the cramps carry on.

*stitch like pain in my ovary that should say 🤪

@Mariabombia I've had stitch like pain in my side since yesterday as well, but got a bfn today a 9dpo so I don't know

HELP
I've so much EWCM tonight. Tho tonight wasn't supposed to be a DTD night, I'm cd10.

I'm CD10, my next DTD days were to be 11,13,15,17,19

I'm wondering should I do 10,12,14,16,18

I suppose I should listen to my body and DTD tonight

It's still early x

@Nikkic2123, I'm a big advocate of just having sex when it works for you. If you and your partner are keen tonight, do it tonight. If you'd rather wait until tomorrow, do it then.

Honestly, there are so many variables on whether you conceive or not - just have lots of sex, one day vs the next day is probably not going to make any difference at all.

Congrats on the EWCM!

Thanks, I always feel better having a plan in place. Especially now because I ditched all forms of testing.
I think the EWCM is my body telling me it’s ready. I’m going to listen to her. After that I’ll go every other day or every two days.
Thank you for replying, I’m still interested in anyone else’s opinion 🙂

@mightbeyesmightbeno 🙈🙈 I’m very lucky to have 2 daughters so would be a shock if it’s twins… I just have some suspicion around that test although dare I say it.. I just feel different in myself. Xx

@Nikkic2123, oh trust me, I love a plan! And I'm also banned from OPKs after driving myself and OH nuts with it trying to conceive DD.

I totally overthink and overstress (cf: all of my posts earlier today) so I have to keep telling myself that if I have regular sex approximately over the time I think I ovulate, then I've done all I can.

And then I spend the TWW madly googling everything and stressing myself out. 🤷‍♀️🙈🤣

You are right. I ovulate where between Thursday and Tuesday.
I’ll go with the flow. I have preseed, I can use it if cm isn’t present x

Anyone due to test tomorrow?

Negative stark white at 10dpo. Af not due til Thurs but already cramping so looks like my short luteal phase is even shorter than usual this month 😪 ah well.... gonna try a clear blue advance digital for next cycle I think.

@Nikkic2123 agree- go with the flow so to speak 😂 if it feels right, go for it. I think EWCM normally increases a few days before O so I'm sure you'll catch it if you DTD tonight and /or tomorrow either way x

I want tooooo but I’m only 8DPO… slowly going mad waiting for the weekend 🤣 @Hopingforarainbow27

I'll be 13dpo tomorrow but don't know if I should test as I think I'm out

@Shortmamashortcycles I’m glad I’m not the only crampy one!

Well I did a test tonight on a cheapie and it was a BFN. I’m only 6/7DPO so god knows what I was expecting, I think I’ve started to go a bit loopy! Just had the urge to test. I feeling so negatively at the moment and convinced we’re never going to have a second child :(

@Hopingforarainbow27 yep! Got the FRERs for fmu

Although I'm very crampy and just feel yuck
