Hey all,

Simple post really, according to Flo and my current symptoms, I am due to ovulate today or tomorrow. Still trying to figure out OPK's and so not really been using them.

Just wondered if anybody wanted to go through the Two week window with me.

Have dtd a few times over the past few days and so hoping to have some luck this cycle.

Baby dust to all of you

@Cheeeeeeeks thank you so much for your reply. That does instal some confidence in me: I am going to pick up some tests and see what happens. I just wish I didn't still feel so rubbish as that would help make things easier.

Aww @Gillseybear I hope you feel loads better today ❤

So last night I got a really faint line on an easy at home, slightly darker line this morning but really faint. Frers being delivered from Amazong today to hopefully confirm 🤞

Edited and unedited, been getting Stark negatives so don't think it's an evap

@BuchananBaby

Better pic
I defiantly see something on the top one!!!
Shrekroll · 21/03/2022 11:39

Think I'm out for this month. BFN yesterday. Will wait for AF now and test once more if it's late

Cheeeeeeeks · 21/03/2022 11:55

@BuchananBaby yes!! I see a lines too, a bit harder on the one below but i think I can just about see along the edges there is line on the bottom one. Defo let us know the results on the frer one! How many DPO are you?
I couldn't back and tested last night and this morning (9dpo) both negative:'( although I know it's early I was convinced it was gna be positive, silly me
@Shrekroll how many DPO are you?

BuchananBaby · 21/03/2022 12:02

@Cheeeeeeeks the bottom one is last night and top from this morning with FMU. I'm 11/12 dpo according to flo but I think I may have ovulated 2 days later than expected because I distinctly remember wanted to dump dp for no reason one day and that normally happens when I ovulate 🙈😂, my frer is due on in the next 15 mins and I have a cup of pee ready so will update soon 🥰. Try not to get disheartened at 9dpo - it's so hard though!

Cheeeeeeeks · 21/03/2022 12:12

@BuchananBaby I literally Laughed out loud at the cup of pee ready, I initially read it as cup of tea😂. Fingers crossed for you!!!!

BuchananBaby · 21/03/2022 12:52

@Cheeeeeeeks I've hid it in the bathroom so I don't mix it up with my coffee 😳😂😂 the amazon man was supposed to come by half 12 and now it's updated to half 3😩 I was considering popping to asda because I'm so impatient but I don't know if I can be bothered getting out of my pajamas 😂

Cheeeeeeeks · 21/03/2022 13:07

@BuchananBaby ah man don't know if my last message posted but dammit, Amazon is usually always on time or early! Just adds to the waiting game lol

BuchananBaby · 21/03/2022 13:41

@Cheeeeeeeks so I was a nutter and drove to get some on my lunch and I'll attach a pic 😁 I've just sat down and the amazong guy delivered my other tests 🤦‍♀️

@BuchananBaby yay congratulations! Tell us your symptoms! ( Not sure if you did already mention them in your previous posts)

BuchananBaby · 21/03/2022 14:29

@Cheeeeeeeks thank you so much lovely 🥰

I've not had many symptoms totally thought I was out tbh tested from 8dpo and nothing until last night. I have been a bit constipated and have ewcm which is unusual at this stage for me. I had really bad af cramp 2 days ago and presumed af was coming early but that must have been implantation.

Sending baby dust 🤞❤

Cheeeeeeeks · 21/03/2022 14:47

@BuchananBaby thanks, you give me hope, I tested 9dpo and negative. Gna just wait until AF comes rather than test and get disappointed.

BuchananBaby · 21/03/2022 16:14

@Cheeeeeeeks I have tested every day since 8dpo and absolutely nothing. Bfn yesterday morning then faint bfp last night so it can change so quickly ❤

@BuchananBaby get sending that baby dust to all us ladies ❤️😂

Gillseybear · 21/03/2022 17:43

@BuchananBaby congratulations on your BFP,
I am so happy for you.
Starting to feel a little better and the spotting has stopped again but weirdly today I have felt really wet all day like my AF is starting but when I wipe it's just discharge. It's currently a mix between EWCM and Creamy along with cramps that come and go and are not as strong as my normal PMS cramps. It's super weird and this is not normal for me. I am now 13DPO and Flo is predicting AF is due on Wednesday. So going to pick up some Frers tomorrow and test then. (They we're completely sold out when I went shopping the other day)

Ah thanks for checking in @Cheeeeeeeks I wasn’t able to resist and ended up doing a test sat morning and this morning which of course were both BFN 🤦‍♀️ I guess they might have shown up something slight this early on, buuuuut...

Tbh, I’ve had the worst cold I’ve ever had for over a week now, and it’s developed into sinusitis on one side, which has brought migraines with it too. Ran a half marathon yesterday too, so I figure a little cluster of cells wouldn’t stand much chance at the moment anyway 😔

I’m going to test again on Friday anyway.

Excited101 · 21/03/2022 19:56

Oh @BuchananBaby I’m so excited for you! I can’t imagine what you must feel like to see that second line!

BuchananBaby · 21/03/2022 20:04

@RMS0209 sending baby dust to you all 🥰

@Gillseybear thank you so much ❤ I'm glad you're feeling a bit better fingers crossed for you 🤞

@Excited101 thank you lovely 🥰, I was so shocked to see two lines honestly I wasn't feeling it this month at all still in disbelief if I'm honest my poor partner isn't getting his hopes up because we had an early mc in January but this feels different so I think it'll all be okay ❤

@BuchananBaby thank you so much I just want the flu to go away now.
I went to the toilet early and had EWCM with blood mixed in which was weird. If AF arrives as normal then I will defo be ringing my doctors and speaking to them because something is not right with my cycles at the moment and it's really annoying when TTC

Cheeeeeeeks · 22/03/2022 15:36

@Excited101 haha just like me then, I tested Sunday night and Monday morning. Really resisting the urge to test. Starting to feel these dull aches again (similar to ones when I was expecting with DD). My ovia app says test in 2 days so Thursday morning. Although I still think that's early as AF not due till Monday.

@Gillseybear sorry to hear your still ill! EWCM at this stage could be implantation? When is AF due? Defo a good idea to check in with Docs

Excited101 · 22/03/2022 15:45

You sound a lot more likely with the aches then @Cheeeeeeeks I don’t feel anything! (Apart from headachy, bloody sinusitis!) I mean, it would be fairly amazing to be lucky on the first month but I thought maybe…

Cheeeeeeeks · 22/03/2022 15:51

@Excited101 I think I got lucky with DD it happened on the first try and I didn't really symptom spot although I did log symptoms I had, I was convinced I wasn't and was telling DH we need to try more actively the following month. N surprise BFP. So there's always a chance of it happening at the first try.
This is our first month of trying with baby no.2 and where it was quick last time I'm convinced it will be the same but I know I'm getting my hopes up and will be devastated if I'm not.

@Cheeeeeeeks AF is due tomorrow according to Flo but I am only cycle day 25 and so I have no idea of or when I will actually come on. I did not realise EWCM could be a sign of implantation. I will defo keep an eye on it.

I have had the worst night going. My partner got arrested for assaulting me last night and is currently in a police cell. I am a mess and feel like shit and cramps are awful today. I have a really upset tummy and so I cannot work out if it's IBS or AF cramps
