And so it begins TWW anyone?

Hi Ladies, I'm either 13 or 8 DPO and AF is is either due to come today or 23rd. When would you test?

My cycles are always usually 32 - 34 days but last month it was 28 days! I had EGCM from day 10 - 18 and cramps on around day 18. Do we think this means I'm on a 28 or 34 day cycle?

As an added element I am doing a weight loss programme and this week I lost weight which would NEVER happen if I was due on - since I have been doing it I always either STS or gain in the week AF is due.

I had a dream last night AF arrived so woke up this morning expecting it to have happened but nada. Woke up and needed to pee but really tried to hold it in while I talked myself into / out of / into taking a test (my mum always said you take them in the morning?). I didn't take it.

Well, I'm now 8dpo and I have managed to not buy a test so far. Sending lots of moral support to the others who are trying not to test too early - you can do this!

Thanks everyone, going to test again on Sunday when I will be 11dpo and it'll be 4 days before my missed period

Oh god sorryto hear that sounds like torture! @Muffin7 its still early u could still be pregnant

Hg is often called sevear morning sickness but its a lot worse; vomiting blood, puking 8/9 times a day, constant neausea and months off work; its blooming miserable!

I'm 8dpo today and stupidly took a test, couldn't resist, it was just an internet strip so obviously bfn. Is there still hope?

Sorry whats hg?

@cookielove he was 10 weeks early. Doing great now too! Did you ever get a reason? They don't know for me, which does make baby number 2 a scary prospect tbh! Had awful hg throughout too so feels like a crazy move to risk all that again :( how are you feeling about it?

@Wowthisisreal i might download that aswell give it a try😆

@thisisouryrfx18 I use Clue 😊 it's also free!

@Wowthisisreal i know the things u find out when ttc are quite interesting lol idve still rather just got pregnant tho lol what app do u use? I use fertility friend just started using it this cycle and its free thats always a bonus!

@thisisouryrfx18 ahhhh honestly so far the app has been scarily accurate with ovulation - I've found it so fascinating how MN works! - but I will look into using them for the future 😊

@Wowthisisreal i know the waiting is torture im trying to hold off to test on sun! Aaggh feels so far away opks are ovulation predictor kits i really would recommend using them. I know ur just starting out and u could be lucky and get pregnant really quickly, but ive just started using them and i do feel as if ive increased my odds cause ive had loads of sex at my fertile time. Fx for u neway x

@thisisouryrfx18 not sure what OPK's are? But no.. I've been using an app since I had my implant out 18 months ago so using that and also keeping an eye out for other natural signs such as CM which seemed to correlate with 28 days...

I meant drinking in the TWW 😊 but it could be a 3WW - that's the thing!

Not sure when to test? My head is saying hold out but just want to know!!

@Wowthisisreal i had the exact same thing last mnth i had a 33day cycle when i normally have a 42day cycle. I tend to just drink unless im in the tww ive been ttc on n off for2 yrs now couldnt go that long without a drink lol no chance of being pregnant before u ovulate neway..do u temp and/or use opks?

I can't work out how to reply on the app... can anyone help?

Basically came on here to have people to talk to as well! It's my first time TTC. Cycle changed from 5 weeks to 4 weeks last month randomly and so not entirely sure how many DPO I am! If 4 weeks (and signs seemed to suggest it is) then AF is due today or tomorrow. If I have gone back to usual then it's next week!

Trying to resist testing...

2WW is so weird. I swear I have spent my whole life being scared of getting pregnant and now DH and I have FINALLY decided to go for it you realise it's a minefield!! I'm looking for symptoms all over the place but also all of them seem to be similar to if AF is round the corner so no idea...

I've had a few events this month so trying to get away with not drinking has been fun...

@Babyboo80 yh ur either pregnant or cause ur gettin stressed afs late ive had that a gd few times..i know the days feel like wks! Hi @starsandstuff i was like that when i 1st started ttc now im a woman obsessed lol @Prembabymum haha im the same atm and i could do with losing a few lbs not gaining them

So hungry today that i had 2 lunches!! Either pregnant or will soon look like it!

@starsandstuff
Absolutley! You go girl! Just in case

Hi can I join in? First ever TWW, TTC #1. I think I ov today going by the calculators but I decided not to try OPKs etc for a few months and just go with the flow at first. That might change! We DTD a few times in FW but again I'm trying not to put pressure on it all, of course now I'm not sure so I might jump him tonight as well just in case

@thisisouryearfx18 yes 4 different brands so far. Including a frer. Used the early one last weekend. Everyone says just wait another week then test, but it's so hard not to lol. I'm only using pound cheapy strips now (3 in a box) spoke to a doc (was there for something unrelated, so figured wouldn't hurt to ask while I was there) she said to wait another week and test, and to come in if I miss another period. Cos as we all know, it's normal to miss the odd period. The days just seem like forever when you're waiting for something :/

@Babyboo80 its soo frustrating when that happens have u tried different makes of hpt?

@thisisouryrfx18 Ikr! Still no af. And I was sleeping by 9pm last night. If you knew me you'd know that's totally out of the ordinary. I'm a night owl, I sleep no more than 5 hrs a night ordinarily. This has happened all week. Upside is I may even lose a few pounds not drinking wine lol x
