Valentines, pancakes, BFPs etc thread 2

[DancinOnTheCeiling]

Just made a new thread as the other one was filling up...

Pressed send before I had finsihed!

So im totally confused when ovulation is. Im using the clear blue advanced opk tests. Is the day of ovulation on the day you get a static smily face or is it a few days after that?
Iv googled and googled but o can't get my head around it haha

@Shiny88 it's 24-36 hours after a positive opk (I think) 🤦‍♀️😂

@J90A thank you 😊. What's the point of the flashing smiley faces then if you aren't anywhere near ovulation 😂.
It's a mind field

@Shiny88 I've just used the cheapy ones with the two lines. I know very true! It would be easier to just say No. or a sad face 😂 xx

@J90A I was using them to start but I was never getting a positive throughout the whole month. Which brand do you use? I was using boots xx

@Shiny88 mind are just cheap ones off Amazon 50 in a pack. You need the second line to be as dark as the control. There not that straight forward either lol. I just use it as a guide 🤷‍♀️ xx

Congratulations @melbxldn 🎉

Sorry for those who's Af has arrived and fingers crossed for those still to test ❤️ xx

Congrats @melbxldn - so many BFPs on this thread! 8dpo here and this TWW is dragggggging...

Think I'll use a FRER tomorrow morning with FMU, will be 12 dpo by my calculation and if it were a normal 28 day cycle for me then I'd officially be late tomorrow. Not feeling particularly hopeful as no signs of pregnancy, no signs of af either but she's snuck up on me last couple of cycles!

Good luck @kizzy97 12dpo is still early some people don't get a bfp until quite a bit later x

8dpo today with a blank cheapie as expected. I shall try again tomorrow. I really hope we've done it this month. I'd love to surprise my husband. I didn't get to last time as I was too excited to keep quiet about it haha.

I had a BFN 8dpo frer and my bfp on 10dpo frer after 🎉 there's always a chance 🙏🏼

BFN on FRER this morning, so pretty sure I'm out this month 😣

I'm 7DPO today, waiting for my doctor to ring to confirm whether I will be going onto a medication next month which will delay me being able to have a baby for around another 2 years....really feels heavy that this could be my last month TTC for a while.
No symptoms or anything apart from being so fatigued (but work is full on which could explain it) and a few crampy sensations here and there. Keeping my fingers crossed but this is feeling like a very long TWW

Hi, I've been lurking I'm 6 dpo. But I've had a stinking cold for the past week. One thing I wander may be a system, was after a fevery night I had a heatrash/hives. I had quite sensitive skin with my first pregnancy, which I don't normally have.

I'm sorry @ElleBelleLou, the TWW is hard enough normally, I can't imagine how stressful it must be for you. I'm keeping everything crossed for you this month 🤞

@Jellysweet Thank you! Yes I'm certainly putting the pressure on myself this month which I doubt will help anything. But what will be will be! I gave it a good shot now it is just getting through this wait without driving myself mad symptom spotting.

@Bramblecrumble21 I had a real stinking cold in my tww when I conceived my son. I was really not well for about 10 days of it. That stopped and then I got cramps so thought AF was coming but was just him settling in.

AF finally arrived for me yesterday, it's very heavy and very painful. I'm a miserable cow.

@kizzy97 sorry to see you had another BFN XX

heads all over the place knowing this month is likely to be my last chance for a while now i'm completely irrationally testing at 7DPO 🙄 obviously a BFN but I'll just never be able to wait for AF before testing. No symptoms or anything apart from feeling a bit crampy and tired.

Hi Ladies,
OH is working away tonight so have been able to catch up on messages.
Congratulations to the ladies with BFP's I always make a mental note of the names to congratulate but then forget by the time I write a post! Sorry
I'm only 3 DPO today so still majorly in TWW. AF due on 28th, believe I ovulated on Monday but to be honest I get so confused. Peak on premom was Sunday, got static smiley on clearblue Thursday, period trackers say ovulation monday. I didn't do any more clearblues till Monday as thought it would be a waste and just annoy me as my partner was away Friday to Monday. It was a blank circle by then.
DTD wed, Thurs& twice on Monday as it was the only chances I had. Not feeling we've got a chance in hell so just trying to do stuff on the house and focus on that.
Hoping you've all had more positive TTC months 😊 xxx

@Brunette1989 any thoughts why the premom and clearblue had your peak so far apart? I normally use clearblue but was thinking of changing to premom next cycle.

Pain and cramps tonight and 12DPO… just waiting for my fate 🤣
I’m cycle day 31 which is longer than my usual and if I wasn’t ovulation tracking I’d assume I was 2 days late tomorrow!
But I used easy@home and I ovulated a lot later than usual! Who knows hehe but I’m Hanging onto the Feb thread for dear life… could it be!? 🤭

Hi everyone

Not posted for many months but felt this was the right time to come back in after months off

TTC number 1 on cycle 7 (but been trying for a year with multiple months we couldn't try properly due to COVID complications)

Back feeling hopeful ish today is CD24. Confirmed ovulation on CD16. Will be testing on 23rd.

Congratulations to everyone with their BFPs so far and wishing you all luck

Caved and tested this morning on an IC at 10dpo...can you guys see a 2nd line too??
