Hiya nice to have a reply 😊 well I'm not 100% sure! I had faint ovulation lines last Tuesday so do I count from then? Or Friday I hae v v dark ovulation lines on test and in like with my period it males more sense to be counting from then! So possibly only 7dpo, way to early to test but sooooo wanting to haha. Due AF on Thursday. How about you?

At the moment mines going mad according to the app I peaked on the 18th but it's now rising again

Yeah you go from the darkest point the strips at

Got a smiley on my CB monitor on the 14th but only started having ovulation cramps on the 15th so roughly 8/9dpo. Due AF on Monday. The waiting is always the hardest but I've been pretty good at not testing haha

It's so hard! I already have children and with my 1st the waiting was unbearable! Turned out I do have some fertility problems so I find it so hard wondering if they are going to make this harder. My 2nd was not planned however haha so obviously something works ok! Also I'm nearly 36 and wondering if my age will also an issue. On cycle 3 of trying ans this month feels different but it's probably all in my head!
Ah ok so I will be 7dpo then makes sense!

I will test Wednesday if my AF doesn't show on Monday/Tuesday. I've been having some mild cramps and bloating today. Very sore nipples during ovulation, tad bit tender still whilst breastfeeding my older toddler but bearable. I have vaginismus so not sure how that truly affects my chances of conceiving but I'm in treatment for it though progress is extremely slow. Had it with my first as well (though thought what I was experiencing was completely normal) and wasn't trying but did conceive 11 months after getting married (thought I had ovulated based on CM, so figured 5 days after I was safe to dtd and disregarded any fertile-like CM haha)

@AudreyJL omg you are very patient!! I would be doing dip sticks every morning haha!!
I'm trying not to symptom spot. Last few months my bbs have been so so tender but turns out that's now my new norm doing the 2 week wait although this month not really had it yet. I'm extremely tired which apparently can be the case during implantation but it's probably just cause I'm tired haha I can make a symptom out of anything!! Do you just have the 1? Xx

The first cycle TTC, I had all the symptoms and was so convinced I was pregnant and started testing from 8dpo but was so disappointed when it was BFN and period came on time so just been waiting to test. Works better for my anxiety rather than get a BFN and wonder if I tested too early or if it's a true negative haha. I feel like everytime I'm like "Oh no cramps.." I start feeling the cramps lol. I have just the 1, who is 3.5 and really wants a younger sibling/baby. How about you?

That's very true, I told my myself I would wait this month until at least the day before but I know I'll cave!
Aw cute. I have 2 who are 7 and 5. We've toyed with the idea of another for awhile and then this year I said let's just go for it and if it doesn't happen I can't say we didn't try. The problem Is until we starter trying I didn't realise how much I wanted it! Although terrified at the same time haha.

I've been wanting a second for awhile now but my husband was in the midst of switching jobs so wasn't fully on board but of course he is now haha. Did it take long for you to conceive your two?

Timing is never right is it. I think my husband would have us wait a little longer but I was like no it's now or never haha.
Eldest took just over a year. We were waiting to start IVF as recommended by my surgeon after some surgery and the month before we conceived naturally. The 2nd was a complete surprise! I reckon around 3 months but we weren't really trying as I thought the chances of it happening again were slim lol so something obviously works!! Lol 😆

I know right! Wished I started a little sooner with trying for my second as it looks like it's going to take some time. Hope you get a positive soon

Overly tired but then again I do work nights this week feels worse though. I tested at work tonight as kept feeling really 'wet' down below. Boons been on and off and last night had on/off cramps I think I see a line but I'm going to test Monday with a frer. How about you?

Oh I hope you get your BFP!! I’ve mainly just had cramps and bloating so feels like AF is on its way. I had weird twinges and I got woken up by like a stabbing pain in my crotch but it went away quick. Just hormones I’m guessing

Omg yes!!! Huge congratulations!!!! How are you feeling?
My boobs feel huge and I have cramps but still wet below and just had a big blob of discharge come out which I'm usually really dry by now! I have no idea what's happening this month!

I’m feeling good. Still in disbelief as I’m cramping like AF is on its way. But I know I cramped with my first as well throughout my first trimester. I plan on taking a digital tomorrow for more reassurance. Or is it better to wait till Wednesday to test again? Honestly when I started to TTC, I swear I got a ton of symptoms that could be pregnancy related but it was always just period related. So confusing how they’re both so similar
