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.

Littlemiss- Im cd 18 of 27day cycle ovulated monday.
Got my frer's ready for next week... might test a few days early aswell! However ... it took 3 cycles to get pregant with DD x

Ilikecakes · 10/03/2017 15:30

Thanks all. No real idea when I ovulated, I'd guess sometime early last week (26/27th?) as we'd had a fairly - ahem - active few days around then!

Did have a v strong line a day or two before AF was due when I was preg with DS3 and he was a singleton obviously, so trying not to speculate too much!

WantToGoingTo · 10/03/2017 15:12

Woweee cakes that is such a strong line! Can you be sure of ovulation?! Otherwise I too would be saying multiples!!

Sazwest · 10/03/2017 15:00

@Ilikecakes congrats hunni that's a very strong positive 🙂 maybe 2-3 in there lol .
How many dpo are u my AF is due next Friday 17th been and bought a frer today ready for next week so I'm 7dpo today and for the first time in a long time my boobs are killing me  x

Littlemisssugarplum88 · 10/03/2017 14:40

Ahhhh lovely news. Congratulations llikecakes GrinXxx

Ilikecakes · 10/03/2017 14:19

Holy shit! 4 days before AF due, using regular cheapy Boots own brand test! Delighted obviously but slightly terrified that such a dark, clear line could mean twins.....which would be DC4 and 5 for me! Anyway, jumping ahead of myself a bit there, will stop now!

Sending positive thoughts to everyone testing!!

TWW - anyone else testing in early March?
Littlemisssugarplum88 · 10/03/2017 11:14

I'd say you are 4dpo then. I ovulated on Sunday. What cd are you today?! Ooh we should be testing similar time then xx

BlueSpottyTiger · 10/03/2017 11:02

Well i ovulated on the 6th!? I dno if im 4 or 5 actually!

BlueSpottyTiger · 10/03/2017 11:01

Littlemiss- im 5dpo too and i feel the same crampy feeling and sharp pains also! :)
Fx its a good sign!!!

Littlemisssugarplum88 · 10/03/2017 09:55

I had a fertility scan on cd13 to show I am ovulating this month and the last few days I've had tummy cramps (today it's quite sharp). Someone please talk me down, I don't want to get my hopes up too much xx

Llanali · 10/03/2017 09:41

Glad to hear that ^^ fingers crossed xx

Littlemisssugarplum88 · 10/03/2017 09:10

5 dpo and feeling positive xx

Llanali · 09/03/2017 23:36

Argh I'm still getting BfN but AF now several days late.

Haven't tested today, will test again tomorrow. Driving me mad!

BlueSpottyTiger · 09/03/2017 15:46

Hey can i join please??

  • I've joined in a few places now hehe!
Im 24 Ttc #2 (13m old DD) Cycle #1 Usually 27/28 day cycles since af returned after 3 months of birth despite bf'ing. Still bf'ing dd now but last month af came on cd 25!? I'm due to test around 19th & i'm 3dpo... Goodluck Ladies.. hope we all see some bfp's soon Grin xx
NotQuiteJustYet · 09/03/2017 13:45

That's me out for this month, AF arrived this morning - to be fair though, it was only cycle 1 of trying properly so I wasn't expecting anything so soon.

Good luck to everyone else still waiting to test!

WantToGoingTo · 09/03/2017 11:05

Haha flip yes I have had that problem!! I pee in a jug - cbf with peeing into something so tiny!

I have never had luck with cheapie one step pg tests. Even when I was pg before it didn't come up as positive til I was really late! I only trust FRER now for pg tests, but cheapie opks seem to be ok :)

FlipKat · 09/03/2017 10:49

@Imbreakingbad and WantToGoingTo - I have both the One Step OPKs and ultra early 10iu pregnancy tests. The OPKs are great and have given me really clear positive results for LH peak. I have high hopes for the pregnancy tests, though am yet to see a BFP....currently 12dpo and planning on testing daily from now on so will let you know!

The only thing I would say about both types of test strips (and this is probably really obvious but I'm a muppet) is don't try to pee directly onto them. I've ruined a coupling by getting my aim wrong and peeing on the results bit which means they don't work. Better to pee into a cup or the foil pack they come in then dip it. But you all probably figured that out already!!

ChaoticKate · 09/03/2017 09:58

Can I join? I'm on cycle 4 but it's the first cycle where my husband and I have actually been in the same place during FW! I'm due to test on the 19th (Ovia) but there's definitely something odd going on and my cycles are not regular lengths so I may have ovulated early. My boobs are super-sore and one of my nipples has gone much darker. I've also been a bit dizzy and CM (sorry - TMI) is different to anything I've had before - white, thick and very sticky. Having said that I am a symptom spotter extraordinaire so chances are it's probably nothing!!

WantToGoingTo · 09/03/2017 09:49

Oh woops realise you were talking about pg tests breaking oops! I was talking about opks Grin
