Anyone just starting the TWW..?

@lucylondon32 AF is due next thurs for me too! Hope we get bfp!!! Xoxo

@gossipgirl28 I think I'm going to try and wait as long as possible! AF should be arriving Thursday next week so I'll try and wait to test then, but I know I'll probably break around Monday! Haha x

sorry @buntingandstarcharts got your username wrong in the tag above!

@DaisyMay25 I cracked and did the CB digi and got a 1-2 weeks! I have no self control when it comes to POAS. Also, I think my afternoon wee is better than first thing. All the tests have come out clearer afternoon/eve than morning.

@lucylondon32 I got a positive on IC from 10DPO, but they are a bit faint and they also dried even fainter so it's not great for the obsessive like me...

@buntingandstars this was cycle 4 of properly trying and 6 of no contraception. Don't know why I bothered being so careful for 15 years now, turns out it's harder than they make out in sex ed!

@lucylondon32 I'm also 6dpo! When are you going to test? Would cheapies show a positive on 14dpo?
Xoxo

@LineEyes0801 with the FRER line being they strong I reckon it would show up now tbh
Although wait until after AF is due, don't want you being disheartened!

Hi, I'm good thanks. Still a bit anxious especially as period not due until Friday but have done an embarrassing number of tests and think they're getting darker so that's helping! Going to tell husband tonight. I have waited to be a bit more certain and also because I proposed a year ago today so feels appropriate!

Photos are today (top) and yesterday's FMU on a boots own brand and an FRER I took yesterday afternoon.

A friend said grumpiness was her first sign too so fingers crossed for you! :)

Does anyone know when the CB with weeks indicator would show up? Don't want to do it too soon.

How are you getting on @LineEyes0801 hope all ok and you're feeling a little better. I've been in an awful mood the past couple of days but that could be AF on the way, although only 6DPO x

Hi @Hopefulbunny, I know how you feel about age, I was worried too and still am in terms of staying pregnant, healthy baby etc!

There are so many older mums these days, for anyone feeling like they’re over 35 and are too old, it’s worth reading the impatient women’s guide to getting pregnant. It’s got some great stats and advice on using opks and timing for optimal dtd dates, if that’s your thing. I felt I had to try to be in control of what I could be. Made dtd a bit less spontaneous but that’s ok a few days a month, plenty of time for spontaneity on other days 🙈 I was ovulating two days earlier than apps suggested and would have missed it this month so was very lucky to get the positive opk when I did.

Good luck everyone. My af is due tomorrow, I am praying for a very sticky bean xx

@mama87 good luck testing on Friday!

Hi Hopefulbunny, AF due for me on 23rd Feb! Sorry to hear about your early miscarriage ttc #1 too! 32 years old and month 3 of trying! How long did it take everyone to fall pregnant?

I hope its not too late to join, AF due around 21 Feb I had a very early miscarriage in Nov and since then cycles have been slightly longer but have hopefully returned to normal.

ATP1000 you have very positive lines there, I bet you are so chuffed! I am 36 TTC #1 so you have given me hope it can happen.

Is anyone testing soon.

@FingersXssd83 aww best of luck to you too and everyone else waiting for their BFP's. Im irregular due to getting epilepsy but app reckons 20th feb. Will be testing friday No my next baby would be nunber 5. Had DD in 2006, DS in 2008, DD 2010 and DD 2012. Luckily got pregnant no problem with them but this is our 3rd month of ttc x

I've had mild headaches too! Wishing you the best of luck @Mama87 How long is your normal cycle and will this be your first baby? xx

@Mama87 when will you be testing??

Sorry ment to say i have had the low ache and back ache for the last 6 days x

@FingersXssd83 i am cd25 and my symptoms are lower back ache and an ache in the LOW left area also since sat have had headaches everyday!!! I really hope these are all good signs! Fingerscrossed for everyone x

Oh wow definitely a positive @ATP1000 🎉👍🏻 How exciting!! My hip pains were only momentary and felt like a shooting pain on the insides. Happened while I was lay in bed. I've slept awfully the last week or so too, keep waking up (usually to go to the loo!). I'm day 26 today (cycles since tracking have been 24-27 days), and had no usual pre-period cramps which has got me wondering... Bricking it now hehe! Will test on Thurs if AF is a no-show

i think i’m going to be out not feeling much this month :( my chart temps are good but i just don’t feel it and my cervix feels quite open

Ahh @ATP1000 congratulations! I remember having so many strange aches and twinges with my last pregnancy, even right at the beginning x

Hi, I'm in the TWW TTC number 1, FF says I ovulated on CD 21 due to the temp shift. Im 9DPO now which is way to short a luteal phase for me but my temp has dipped really low below the cover line this morning, as though I'm about to start AF. Could FF be wrong and could I have ovulated earlier even though I didn't have the temp shift until CD22?

How’s it going @fingersxssd83 ? I just wanted to mention about hips again. This morning walking to work and now at my desk, I have an ache in my right hip near the dip of the groin. I don’t know if that’s how you were feeling or not?

Another symptom I wasn’t expecting is that I keep waking up early, super early for me, like 5.50am. Normally I struggle to get up at 7am! Normally I snooze but I’m right awake straight away.
Af is due tomorrow, I’m 13 or 14 dpo i think. Ov on 31st jan or 1st Feb.
Done another test, I bought so many in Boots 3for2! The FRER line is looking better and it’s showing up positive in the evenings now.
Good luck everyone! Xx

@happythoughts that's so frustrating My cycles were pretty much clock work and generally 29-30 days but about 3 months ago I had a 48 day cycle out of nowhere which really freaked me out. I had just been made redundant and my only explanation for it is the stress of that. It's a stressful old business this TTC-ing. Have a look into Vitamin B6 as it's supposed to be fab for regulating hormones etc. xx

Thank you, winterwarmers. Just hope it sticks...
