Anyone due to test around 18th Aug?

@cottoncandee That's good to know, thanks. I'd love to give him some happy news this month xx

I'm not noticing any symptoms yet (only 4dpo though). First month TTC I had ALL the symptoms of pregnancy, I'm trying to symptom spot less now but it's tough! One thing to be wary of is the effect pregnancy vits and a healthier TTC diet can have on hormones - can make you feel different from normal, and add to 2WW angst!!! 😬

Some of you must be getting close to testing now? Exciting! 🤞❤️

@Chooklass I know it's difficult to TTC when there's loss of a close family. My sister TTC when her DH just lost his grandpa, who was really close to him cause he pretty much was the one who raised him. And for them TTC seem to work gives him something positive to focus on.

@SydBound27 definitely not the only one! I've tested at 8 DPO on some cycles.

@WhyTheHeckMe I symptom spotted sometimes but what I've learnt is that the symptoms are always different. Though that doesn't stop me from symptom spotting and wondering afterwards.

Hi ladies

Just wanted to belatedly join you! I'm 8dpo - positive OPK on CD 16 - so trying to hold out til AF is due on the 17th.

I've convinced myself I must be - I am ravenously hungry!! Yesterday I ate a snickers at 3.30pm to tide me over between afternoon tea and dinner at 5.30pm 😳🐷 we had been skiing but it wasn't THAT arduous...

@Nicolle468 suppose experience in whats normal and whats not is the silver lining if af arrives. Though i do think our bodies like to mess with us when it comes to the tww lol

@whytheheck me i know exactly what you mean! Months of not trying but not preventing and didnt bat an eyelid at any supposed symptoms but as soon as we actively start trying every twinge, itch, sneeze etc is a possible symptom lol.
All ive got is increased peeing (tho i pee alot anyway), and my nipples feel like the are bruised- this alone is weird , ive never felt them like this before and cant rem if id sore nipples during my 2 pregnancies as they were both surprises! Lol. Typical!

Sore boobs but that's about it

5 dpo, so don't know if that's too early for any symptoms.

Like you said, wish I paid more attention previous months what/when I felt things. I know I always get sore boobs before AF, but it's still 7 days away and can't remember if I normally get sore this soon.

Oh well if not, I will know for next month that that's normal! X

@three - you got it! I am sooooo impatient...

Sorry @chook I posted before reading. That's really tricky, you can never predict how things are going to go can you. Fingers crossed you have some happy news xx

@syd youre not on your own, i just did the same thing and afs not due for another 5 days. Ooops. The only thing that prompted me to test is because my nipples feel like they are bruised, its so weird. Will we slap each other?? Lol

@cottoncandee im so sorry to hear about your losses. Fingers crossed for a lovely sticky bean for you this month.

Seriously what is wrong with me? I just tested at 7dpo so the chances of seeing anything are next to none. I need an internet slap!!

Hi cotton, we're due AF on same day! Sorry to hear about your losses - fingers crossed for you this time.

I'm in a bit of a dilemma now, as DP just had close family death. On one hand getting preggers might be a positive to take his mind off it, but might also just be to much to deal with all at once. Nothing I can do about it now, but puts a different spin on this months 2WW...

Hi can I join?

I'm due on 22 but I'm planning on doing a super early test on the 18th as I will be traveling that day and I feel like doing the test before instead of on vacation.
I will be around 10 DPO by then and in my previous pregnancies I would get faint BFP by then (even tho I know each one can be different)

Hi everyone My AF is due in 19th...hoping I can wait until then to break out the pee sticks, but im not holding my breath...

So exciting that we're all testing around the same time. I'll poas on Tuesday, argh!

Been having very tingly boobs for the last few days, feels like the let down of breastfeeding from dd and been googling like mad to see if that's a sign! Seriously take this phone away from me...

Have lovely relaxing holidays, and enjoy a drink before they're officially off limits!

@whattheheck I didn't do an opk so I'm just guessing based on the day my boobs started to get sore, which they always do right after ovulation. I think it was last Friday but might have been the day before. Boobs are still killing me now and have been getting weird cramps and hot flushes which i never got on the pill, so... ?!? Will have to wait another week to know for sure, argh! Sending you lots of luck and baby dust! X

whytheheckme I'm also 7dpo ish and today I've been feeling sick when my stomach is empty (settles after i eat) and I've had low back pain all day.
I hope this is a good sign and not my mind playing tricks

Hi ladies! Am I too late to jump in?

Age 34
Cycle 4
TTC number one

My cycles are between 24 and 28 days, I came off the pill in April and they're still finding their own drum beat, let's say...

Last cycle was 24 days, one before that was 28 and one before that was 25 days, so who knows! This has made me worried that my luteal phase is too short, anyone else had that?

I'm on cycle day 18, so AF could be due from 18th August to 22nd August. Any pointers on when you think I should test? I dread the BFN so I'm thinking about leaving it until mid week... I'll be on holiday then too!

I'm with you @whytheheck, I'm trying so hard to hold out until AF is officially late before testing. I'm 7 or possibly 8 dpo today on CD 23. Usually have a 28/29 day cycle so expecting AF on Thursday. Or hopefully not! X

Hi girlies, hope you all enjoy your holidays 😊 would have loved one myself but it was either holiday or redecorate the house and the house won lol.
Cd19 today for me. No idea if i ov as never got a +ve, id loads of ewcm for a few days so im convinced i missed the surge as one day test was really dark (still not +ve) then next day and from then on in til now its been almost barely visable.
Anyone using the ovia app to track your cycle??
Ive been using it and it really frustrates me that there isnt an option to select creamy cm. Only ewcm, watery, school glue or none.I have creamy at the minute but had a streak of cloudy ewcm today&yesterday. No idea what that means or if its a good or bad sign but im sure ill find out next week lol.
Ive been peeing like mad the past 3 days its driving me insane constantly waking during the night 3 or 4 times bursting to go.

Hows everyone elses 2ww going?xx

@Nissi7 Cycle is 28 days, usually ovulate on day 16.

The clear blue early detection tests say you can test from 5 days before AF is due but for me that would only be testing 9 DPO .

I don't know, will just have to wait and see!

Not getting my hopes up as it's only the first month TTC just would have been nice timing.

@whytheheckme So sorry to hear that, I imagine it's difficult not to get attached even after what's happened. Fingers crossed for you.

Hey Nicolle468 that would be a lovely birthday surprise for him. I think some show up like 3 days before af due date. Its my first month ttc with first baby so maybe see if any of the other girls know 100%, but im thinking might be a few days to early to tell on the 16th. How long are your cycles. X
