TWW - anyone else testing in early March?

I'm just starting the dreaded TWW and could use some company. All the other threads on this seem to have reached the testing stage already.

I am 2-3 dpo and planning to test on 4 March. We have been TTC for about 18 months and are getting fertility treatment. I am pretty sure I ovulated this month though, so I have have high hopes for this cycle.

Sorry to hear that, satsooma, big virtual hug. Try to keep your head up and stay positive.

AF turned up this morning Sad, so that is it for me this cycle.

I have PCOS and am on clomid, so I will start my next round of pills to encourage an egg to mature tomorrow I think. I am on round 5 of a total 6 clomid cycles that I am allowed. After that I get a single cycle of IVF. So that is only three more shots at getting this right. I am beginning to worry that it just won't happen for us.

On the other hand, AF turned up right on time, which is a really good sign, and means that I almost certainly ovulated, which is half the battle.

Morning all! If I've calculated right, I'm on 7/8dpo and it's all about the symptom spotting with me today.

Symptoms include:
-tender breasts
-bloated and quite gassy feeling Blush

  • slightly nauseous
  • very, very high cervix which I can only just reach

I'm trying to not test until af due because of my chemical so that means 7 days of sitting on my hands!

boatrace30 · 02/03/2017 08:50

Definitely a faint line Steph. Congrats!
My temp dipped a lot today which possibly confirms my feeling of AF being round the corner. On the other hand I did sleep well last night and didn't wake up tossing and turning so hoping that my temp was artificially high the last few days. You're not out till you're out I guess.

I temp vaginally - just heard its a lot more accurate!

I also have fully fledged laryngitis with next to no voice. (And I am a teacher haha!) so now feeling like tiredness and feeling rubbish is down to that!

actino · 02/03/2017 08:23

Rabbit, I temp orally. There is definitely a general upward trend, but I was hoping it would be more obvious. AF due monday so I might test this weekend.

Steph, I see the faint pink line!

stephylou87 · 02/03/2017 08:20

Thank you 😊 not it's a cheap Answer test from savers. I was saving my CB digital xx

dangle90 · 02/03/2017 08:18

Thanks oyster!
Congrats stephy! Grin** is that a frer too? Flowers

Oysterbabe · 02/03/2017 08:15

That's positive Steph congratulations Grin

stephylou87 · 02/03/2017 08:14

Morning everyone. So AF is now 5 days late and today's test looks like this. It's really faint but it looks pinky to me 🤞🏻 what do you all think??

You do hear of people not getting a bfp until they're about a week late so still crossing my fingers for you.

B1gRabbit · 02/03/2017 08:12

actino Re: your chart; are you temping orally or vaginally? Sorry to be personal! Just I found when temping they were more stable up the vaj.

My temp has dipped this morning Sad Off to the fertility clinic today, hopefully will have results of biopsy on ovarian cyst, endo removal and OH's swimmers so will have a better idea of how to proceed from here...

dangle90 · 02/03/2017 08:01

I caved.... surprise surprise BFN. I think I'd deffo be seeing a sniff of a line by now wouldn't I surely

dangle90 · 02/03/2017 07:42

If I ovulated when I think I did (tried using opks but didn't catch my surge so may be wrong) I'm 13dpo

ethelfleda · 02/03/2017 07:38

Hi actino
I'm definitely not an expert as it is only my first month temping but I'd have thought the spotting was a positive sign?? When is AF due?

dangle how many dpo are you?

dangle90 · 02/03/2017 07:32

I've got some internet cheapies burning a hole in my draw Ethel 😂

dangle90 · 02/03/2017 07:31

Sorry about the bfn andys :( x

ethelfleda · 02/03/2017 07:29

Be strong Dangle and hold out Smile

actino · 02/03/2017 07:29

Anyone feel like analysing my chart? I'm a bit discouraged by my temperatures, I was hoping for more of an increase. I take them first thing when I wake up. The notes are about are a brown/pink discharge. Other than that, I have sore boobs that felt a bit heavy yesterday.

TWW - anyone else testing in early March?
dangle90 · 02/03/2017 07:25

Morning ladies. I'm just laid in bed debating wether to do another test or not... told myself I'd wait until sat when AF is due Hmm

ethelfleda · 02/03/2017 07:20

Good morning ladies!
Addtothechaos you can probably discount a temp taken after you move about. And anyway, there is such a thing as an implantation dip 😊
Andys and oyster can I join you in the late testing corner??
10dpo today and my temp has risen again BUT DH left heating on all night and woke up feeling really warm so that is probably why! Boobs still sore but that's not unusual either. Going to physically try and stop myself from googling symptoms today!!

Oysterbabe · 02/03/2017 07:05

Sorry about the BFN Andy Come and join me in the late testing corner.

Chaos I've thinking my lack of sore boobs mean I'm out, they were definitely sore before AF was due with DD. I guess we're all different!

Cramps and nausea this morning but no sign of AF. 13DPO.

Andysgirl15 · 02/03/2017 06:40

I officially give up. Bfn this am with ic and frer. Not testing now until af is due.

Been back over my dates and I might actually only be 9dpo today and not 10

Addtothechaos · 02/03/2017 06:30

Morning ladies

Good luck andy I hope it is a bfp! Keep us updated!

I'm 9dpo today (according to fertility friend) and I've been having sore boobs and high temps all the way till this morn when my temp has took a big dip (did get up and about with ds before I took it though) and I think my boobs don't feel as sore Sad so I'm thinking af is on her merry way! Still 5 days until she's due to arrive though. I don't remember having sore boobs with my other two dc until around the 5 week mark so not sure if I should even acknowledge that symptom or not? Seems too early!

Good luck to anyone testing this morn! Xx

Oysterbabe · 01/03/2017 22:59

I really feel like AF is on the way too, although cm is still clear. I have a really crampy heavy feeling. I think she'll show tomorrow.
Good luck to those testing in the morning!

boatrace30 · 01/03/2017 22:06

Definitely positive signs ethel Smile. This eve it def feels like AF is on the way 🙁. Not good as only 8dpo. I've been suspecting I have luteal phase issues. So AF now will confirm that
