Hey, I'm just starting the tww and looking for some friends to join me for the wait. I'll probably test when af is due on the 16th. I've got to the point where I don't know what cycle I'm on - I think it's 8 though!

What's the earliest you could get an implantation bleed? I've had some dark brown spotting today.

Pumpkinbee · 07/09/2017 11:32

Thanks Betsy I had no idea what to expect if anything at all.

Betsyboo87 · 07/09/2017 11:21

Pumpkinbee you could miss it. I only noticed it on the tp a couple of times. I do spot during my lp (although usually much later) so I tend to look out for it.

Littleredwagon2398 no harm in starting now. You'll need a full cycle to see the pattern but youll get an idea now if what your post ov temps are like.

I have been soooo bloated for the last couple of days.

Jumping in!

TTC #1
Cycle 2
AF due 17
2 DPO

Paranoid - Positive OPK on CD 14 but worried it wasn't a dark enough line. I even started a thread to ask for confirmation.

BBT thermometer only arrived yesterday. Already f up the first BBT reading I did not press "save" in Fertility Friend and had to remember the reading when I woke up a bit later. BlushIs it a good idea to start taking BBT half way through a cycle anyway? I thinking the more data the better!

I'm sure I saw some others with AFs due 17.

Flyingfruit · 07/09/2017 08:22

Ooh mamoffrankie 2 days late- good luck keep us posted!

Hollsers92 · 07/09/2017 08:20

Morning everyone! I'm currently around 8dpo and I have no symptoms at all. Just the odd little pull or jab in my left ovary area which has been normal for me for the past 3 cycles around this time! I'm trying hard not to think about symptoms and how long I have to wait but it's becoming difficult when my best friend is 6 months pregnant and my work colleague is 4 months pregnant!

CherryVicky29 · 07/09/2017 08:19

Morning ladies,I'm only 5dpo and experiencing really tender breasts but as others say could be symptom spotting 😂 im testing mid next week

MamOfFrankie · 07/09/2017 07:34

Morning cavatron and Flyingfruit.
I have had nearly every symptom under the sun, but I think once I started symptom spotting my body obliged by just making some up! Sickness, heartburn, swollen boobs, the works. Started about 8 days dpo.

I am trying to hold out until a week after AF is due, currently 2 days late Smile

Flyingfruit · 07/09/2017 07:30

i don't have any symptoms. Last month, after coming off the pill but before my withdrawal bleed I had every symptom under the sun but turned out it was PMT! When does everyone plan to test? I'm going to aim for 3 days after AF is due. But I'm already thinking about the one I have at the back of the cupboard 5DPO (7 according to my app) 😂

cavatron · 07/09/2017 07:20

How soon can you experience symptoms?! I was up this morning feeling incredibly sick and this is totally new to me. I've a stomach of steel, never get nauseous unless I'm hungover - which I'm obviously not!

I'm 7 DPO.

Pumpkinbee · 07/09/2017 00:38

Can I ask does anyone know if spotting is really obvious or is it easy to miss? I only ask as I wear a lot of dark underwear and I'm not sure I would see it if its as little as I've heard it is? I've had terribly sore boobs since before I now know I've ovulated and I've been having mild cramps since then too so i think I'm possibly due an early AF anyway so chances we did accidently get an egg fertilised I don't think it would take if I have a short luteal phase this month. My Clue app reckons I should get AF 20th but Ovia reckons 23rd. Who knows, mine are so irregular anyway I'm forever POAS since I can never tell when I'm 'late'. Oh what our bodies put us through...

Betsyboo87 · 07/09/2017 00:04

MamOfFrankie be strong! Do you have any in the house? If so get your DP to hide them. I find if I have to actually go buy one I can usually talk myself out of it.

Betsyboo87 · 07/09/2017 00:02

Everythingnow super sores bbs here too and pink cm at 5dpo. Totally weird as, yes, it's too early for ib.

Greggs no early poas for me either - I have one test in the house and that WILL be the one that shows my bfp Grin

OP posts:
EverythingNow · 06/09/2017 21:24

I have super sore boobs. But that's nothing new for the tww, sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. They do hurt walking upstairs so particularly tender. I had some pink cm yesterday but was only 5or 6dpo so bit early for implantation.

So not really anything decent. I haven't ever had any symptoms in previous pregnancies though so perhaps less is more Grin

Bubbalu · 06/09/2017 21:17

Thanks mamoffrankie I have a Dr apt nxt wk tried a clear blue tonight BFN but symptoms esp nausea worse

Stormcloud10 · 06/09/2017 21:06

I'm currently 7 dpo and I have no imaginary symptoms 🙁 I'm bloody knackered but between working, 2 DS and pets it's generally who I am as a person now anyway so not sure that counts 😂 Anyone got any suspicious symptoms yet?

GreggsSausageRolls · 06/09/2017 21:02

Still in my fertile week but af due on 23rd so gatecrashing this thread Grin

I have no internet cheap preg tests and am too tight to pay for a clear blue from the supermarkets so I will only test if af is actually late, internet cheapies come next day with amazon prime so will order on 22nd or something.

Reason I am being so psycho about this is that I used about 7 tests last cycle before at was even due BlushGrin

MamOfFrankie · 06/09/2017 20:00

Hey bubbalu, sounds frustrating! Docs might be best bet for answers, especially after 35 days of no AF and a BFN.

MamOfFrankie · 06/09/2017 19:58

Not sure if I qualify for this one as AF due today, but I am trying to resist the temptation to poas for another week as my bank balance can't handle my hpt addiction! Any tips for just... not poas???

Bubbalu · 06/09/2017 16:26

Hi hope this is the right thread, I'm so confused, I think I'm pregnant, I'm 42, we weren't planning any kids, but if I am then will be happy, ok here's the confusion... I am now 7 weeks late for AF took test last week - negative, now for 3 days getting brown spotting, my af is usually very heavy, never had this before. Feel nausea, had a few headaches, had diarrhoea, STARVING in am, urinating a bit more than usual, help! Can I test during this spotting? Is it implantation bleed??? I'm worried as on anti depressant any help would be much appreciated

Betsyboo87 · 06/09/2017 14:26

Welcome ladies! Pumpkinbee how frustrating!

I'm self employed and don't have a lot of work on this week so I've got far to much time to think about it. Trying desperately to distract myself!

CherryVicky29 · 06/09/2017 13:12

Checking in on tww, 4dpo on 1st cycle. Only finished pill two weeks ago so not sure how it will go. Had cramping since ovulation so awaiting Early AF.

timeisnotaline · 06/09/2017 12:50

I tried opks but only every few days so think I missed the positive. Assume that anyway!

timeisnotaline · 06/09/2017 12:44

Add me. First month trying for #2. I hate waiting!!

Pumpkinbee · 06/09/2017 12:41

I'll be testing probably from around the 20th. We're not actively TTC but just found out that I wasn't ovulating when we thought I was so we actually ended up DTD night before my peak fertility when we thought it was over a week since I had. I've only just started taking ovulation tests again which is how we found out both me and my calender were all wrong :/
