Hello I'm just starting the TWW - test date 12th Feb anyone else want to join me to get through the two weeks together?

Feeling ok today but I'm the most impatient person ever ( i cried when my surge came two days late) so would be great to share the pain of waiting with others/ not look for signs of pregnancy and encourage each other to wait peeing on stick for as long as possible

Thank you hoping. That is a really lovely idea. Hope everyone is managing to stay busy in the wait.

sparksalot · 01/02/2017 22:57

Thanks so much for that hoping really lovely to know I'm not alone! I will defo try not to test until the 9th!!
I do have a day out with friends on Saturday it will be a cocktails and more cocktails kind of day Wine so may test in the morning as I would be too worried about the alcohol just in case! I wont be able to hide it either Smile

NotADaffodil · 01/02/2017 22:37

hoping I love the calendar, what a lovely idea!

Been struggling with not testing today )even though it's ridiculously early) your calendar has made me determined to wait!

My AF is really irregular but average cycle is around 26 days, I also tend to ov late (CD21 this month) so I've been driving myself insane googling today!

Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone!

HopingForALittleOne · 01/02/2017 22:06

Ok I was given a spare calendar at Christmas so I've added people's test dates on calendar so we can keep track of who to cheer on / encourage to resist the temptation of early testing xx

There are some people on this thread who have mentioned how many dpo they are or when they may test ( X dpo) but I don't know what date you want me to pop your name next to.

Let me know and I can add you if you want.

I've added user1120 bfp on calendar but I will defo not include bfn on calendar I was just going to try and track how many bfps we get. Very happy not to include bfps if people would prefer not.

Yep my cycles are like clockwork, bang on 28 days and always the same. They're only back since September after having my son 2 years ago but it's exactly the same as it was before. Ovia is being a bit weird really, all of my info is the same as always but it has added three days on until testing!

sparksalot · 01/02/2017 21:28

Oh and af due a week tomorrow x

sparksalot · 01/02/2017 21:26

I use Ovia and find it really accurate for me it always bang in with ovulation date and period? Have you got regular cycles foggy? I've used mine since Jan last year so maybe the more data you enter the better it gets at predicting. You can also change the lenghy of your cycle in the settings.

Thanks for the support guys. I had a mini breakdown earlier this evening I think it's af hormones combined with exam stress ( tomorrow!!!!) and the tww all just piling on top of me. My sis thinks the trauma of my mmc is still affecting me. So I'm going to make an appointment to see my gp xx

HopingForALittleOne · 01/02/2017 21:16

spark keeping my fingers crossed for you. How many days until AF meant to be due?

Interesting chat about cervix - I would try it but not sure I could reach?! ( or what I would be looking for?)

Hello welcome to new ladies to the thread. Apologies not long finished work so just catching up with everyone.

breaking sorry to hear BFN but you are not out until AF comes. How many days DPO are you?

bubbles wow lots of symptoms that sound promising!

tatty yes I said I wouldn't symptom spot but last night goggles of there are any signs you could possibly get in first week. Read stories of women who just knew they were pregnant hours/ days after conceived so I fell asleep thinking do I know or is this hope?

Day 5dpo yawn! Days are going quick in work but when I get home I can't resist stories and advice on intranet. I think I've read all the other threads on MN re conception ( and strayed into pregnancy/ names/ births/ announcement threads)

foggy theres is a knowledge bit on that website and it taught me a bunch of stuff I never knew! (and I thought I was obsessed lol) u can update with info each day to keep it accurate.. I've only used it this month with this month and last months data so don't know how accurate but find it handy as a way of jotting down DTD dates etc. Altho i go on it too often... Duno what I'm expecting it to tell me lol x

Foggymist · 01/02/2017 20:42

Thanks Tatty, that looks a lot more informative than Ovia! It is more in line with what Ovia originally said, fertile period ended two days ago, whereas now Ovia says I'm only entering it. I'm doing my best be patient and the last thing I need is days added on!

Usernamegone · 01/02/2017 20:00

Hoping - can I join you. Day 14 today and test date 14th Jan. FX everyone!

Tattybogle89 · 01/02/2017 19:53

Yes beans Scottish. You?

I never normally check cervix but clutching at straws here!!

Nipple tingles are meant to be a sign sparks

I use ovulationcalculator.com. Find it very informative. No idea if its right.. We'l find out lol

Foggymist · 01/02/2017 18:54

I'm only using Ovia fertility app to track stuff, but it keeps moving my data and fertile days and adding more days until I test! It's pushed it further twice now based on my data that I've entered in the last few days, makes me doubt it all a lot!

sparksalot · 01/02/2017 16:44

Well im getting uncomfortable cramping today I'm pretty sure this is what I had same time last month the week before af reared her ugly head. I keep checking for cm but I only ever get any when wiping after having a wee and there's not much. I do have a weird prickling sensation in my nipples though?
Maybe I'm going mad, yep thats it the madness has set it!!! Confused

ImBreakingBad · 01/02/2017 16:11

I always make sure I'm clean Grin. Usually do it after a shower to minimise the risk!

Foggymist · 01/02/2017 16:07

I don't think you're supposed to check your own cervix because of risk of infection no? I couldn't see myself ever trying it anyway!

ImBreakingBad · 01/02/2017 16:03

Sparksalot, I agree! I do check mine but it's mostly too high to feel. I've also got a tilted uterus. Smear tests are a nightmare for me mines is so bad!

Bubblegum89 · 01/02/2017 15:50

I was getting that yesterday too redpony

Redpony1 · 01/02/2017 15:37

I keep getting stabbing pain in my left breast but i'm sure that's not a symptom! Plus i am only max 6dpo

Bubblegum89 · 01/02/2017 15:18

Apparently your cervix can change all the time and also it doesn't always go straight up to high and closed if you get pregnant. So don't worry too much about cp as a pregnancy indicator :) I keep getting this thing where the middle of my boobs feel full and sore but mostly when I bend over... god knows what that's all about!

sparksalot · 01/02/2017 14:57

As for testing cervix position. I can never feel mine. I think I'm a bit weirded out about sticking my finger up there tbh. I have been told (by a nurse at a smear years ago) I have a tilted cervix/uterus though so maybe thats why I cant feel it?

sparksalot · 01/02/2017 14:54

Lol at legend Grin

sparksalot · 01/02/2017 14:54

Excellent and good luck! I have a drawer full of tests about 20 cheapies and 4 frer's lol! I should probably get dh to hide them from me so I'm not tempted to test again! X

ImBreakingBad · 01/02/2017 14:37

Sparksalot I'm on 11dpo and AF due Saturday. So still testing super early! I've purchased 3 more so will test Fri & Sat Grin
