anyone want to join me for the tww?

Patiently any news?

MsAR - ewcm is a good indication, the only other ways to know are to use opks (not always accurate) or track your temperature. I'm temping for the first time this cycle, and apparently your temp should rise when you ovulate.
Af should arrive 14 ish days after ovulation so if it was day 12 then you should expect roughly a 26 day cycle.
Hope that makes sense?

Thanks Sam, read from the start of this thread so saw your story. This is really bad, but I don't know when I ovulated. First day of period was October 28th and day 12 EWCM so it might have happened then. How do you know for certain when you ovulate? Have had a 25 day cycle for quite a while but acupuncture has shaken things up a bit and it's fluctuating between 26-30 days.

Welcome MsAR

How many dpo are you?
It's not over till af arrives, good luck and fx for you! X

Can I join you please? Have not been using contraception for the past six months but this is the first cycle where we've both agreed to actively start TTC. I have a big hormonal spot on my chin, which probably means I'm already out. However, I'm trying to stay positive. It's hard though.

Patiently - if those are pregnancy tests (Which I think they are, usually its green for ovulation and blue for pregnancy), then that looks like a positive to me :)

If they are ovulation tests then I'd say you are ovulating today. X

Patiently: are those ovulation tests or pregnancy tests?

I agree... Have a wine as you may not get too soon :) can someone give me there opinion.... My pic is lh test from tonight (bottom one) Middle is from Wednesday I think and too is from Monday .. I'm confused?!

NoArmani and heaven, I'm sorry. Drink some wine and yes let's hope for BFPs all round for Chrismas!

Oh Joey, hope af arrives soon so you can get on with the next cycle. Was 43/44 for me, so fingers crossed for tomorrow!

CD42, BFN, waiting for AF and so bored!

Oh heaven, that's rubbish
Well, we're all in it together this month then, would be an amazing Christmas present... I don't want anything else!

Dh is away for 3 days this month so am really hoping ovulation doesn't happen right in the middle of that ??

Sam - AF has finally made an appearance, so I'm out of this TWW too. Bummer! Oh well, it'll give me a chance to stock up up ovulation tests, pre seed, a bb thermometer and cheapy tests for next month. Who knows maybe we'll all get the best early Xmas present ever :) Fingers and toes crossed for us all x

Heaven - I have no experience of af following mmc, but I did have a very odd cycle last month. Am usually 28-32 days regular and last month it was 43! I also had none of my usual symptoms other than some really bad cramps aprox 5 days before af arrived. The girls on one of the other thread said it sounded like I hadn't ovulated hence the long cycle and lack of symptoms. Could be the same for you? Or you might be pg but hormone levels aren't high enought yet to detect. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. X

Hi all, it's been a busy few days of work, chesty coughs, and asthma attacks for me, which has taken my mind of the TWW somewhat. NoArmani sorry to hear AF visited at last. I'm now on CDO 33 of my regular 27 day cycle, am a bit zitty but none of my regular AF sypmtoms and still getting BFNs. May have to pop over to the TTC after MMC board to see what those ladies make of it all.

Sorry to hear that no Armani, hugs

Imagine if we all get pre seed BFPs?! We'll be like a walking advert! Xx

AF has just arrived. Onwards and upwards, let's hope we get some luck with the pre seed

Oh Joey I completely know how you feel, what cycle day are you on? Xx

I hate it...the little lone line. And my CBFM which says Not Pregnant in massive letters. Urgh. (I am now well into my fourth week of waiting, so over this cycle!)

Nightowl - good luck! I also tried to minimise testing as the negative tests got me down. And it felt like I was somewhat pissing on money!

Talking from experience I would say only test every few days if you can wait. Not only is it expensive, but it's horrible to keep seeing white sticks! Xx

I have tested a couple of times, but only with cheap ones and not today. It's very tempting to keep doing it but I'm going to try and not. Might buy some FRERs on my way home, but that's tempting fate! Time will tell..

Boris - pre seed is a lubricant which is very similar to fertile cm. it has some really good reviesws and is meant to make it easier for the swimmers to reach the egg.

Night owl, it's not over till af arrives, keeping my fingers crossed for you. The disappointment each month is horrible, and the waiting is a killer! Hoping you don't have too long to wat either way. Have you tested? Xx

Hi guys, I posted a little at the beginning but I've been keeping a low profile for the last few days, trying not to think about it too much. As if!

I'm due on today but no sign. I'm usually early, so at least there isn't the horrible waiting and convincing myself that it's worked! I'm having lower back pains that I usually don't get, so obviously now I'm trying not to overthink it. And I've been more bloated feeling than normal. Low level cramps but nothing as bad as when my period is coming. I just hate the disappointment so try really hard to think it's not happened. So sick of this tww torture, it's half my life!

Hope everyone's feeling ok, I'm sure I'll be there on the next one as well!

Just bought myself a thermometer. Anything you ladies can do... But what is pre seed?
