So I’m currently on day cycle 12 not due ovulation yet but I should be in a few days! Trying for my second is anyone else wants to join this tread to talk about TTC come on over.
I have been tracking my cycles for a few months now but we are only trying from this month.
Please feel free to share your TTC story xx

@SwimSwim I'm going to try and wait until Saturday! What about you?

ducksandacorns · 22/10/2018 17:29

Fingers crossed for everyone who's waiting. @Rightnow1245 don't be disheartened by BFN, it's still early for you!

AF was due for me on Friday, however I'm definitely out now after possible BFP as think I've had an early MC.

I have no idea how this will affect dates for planning next month....

SwimSwim · 22/10/2018 16:50

@Rightnow1245 8dpo is still early so try not to feel too disheartened yet, you may still get a BFP.

@eviev28 I'm glad it's not just me! I'm 8dpo too, when are you due to test?

@bunhead34 sorry to hear that! FX for you next month.

Dosmamas · 22/10/2018 16:43

AF due on the 27th, I think we will test Thursday or Friday, my partner has zero pregnancy symptoms or AF symptoms at 9 dpo so we are in no rush. This TWW has gone quick I think.

Abzi91 · 22/10/2018 16:34

@Rightnow1245 ah it is still early! You said last time you didn't get a bfp till after your AF was due, so same thing could happen! Plus, you're still trying 3 days early. Fingers crossed it happens for you šŸ¤žšŸ½šŸ˜Š

My AF was due on Saturday, so 3 days late atm. Just gonna see how this week goes, I guess! I do get irregular periods, but had 35 day cycle for the last 3 months, so hoped it would continue, but of course the one time I need it to run properly... šŸ™„

Rightnow1245 · 22/10/2018 16:20

So I did a FRER and it was BFN! So stupid now I’m really disappointed.. I’m just hoping it’s because I’m only 8dpo?

swimswim That sounds good you have lots of symptoms tho! Yeah AF is Thursday but I’m only 8dpo as I have a short luteal phase.

So I crumbled *abz.. sorry to hear about your bFN I’m pretty disappointed too.. still praying I’m to early to tell šŸ¤žšŸ½ When was AF due for you again?

hellobrass good idea to have no tests! That was my idea but I went out and got one today 😬

Sorry to hear that bunhead šŸ’

sav Feeling a little sick but cramps have almost gone now 😬 maybe it’s just to early for symptoms anyway šŸ¤” fingers cross for you šŸ¤žšŸ½

@SwimSwim that is so weird, I was just thinking today my skin has cleared up! I get awful spots on my jaw between ovulation and AF and today they're gone! 8dpo. Probably just coincidence but I thought it was strange

keaps · 22/10/2018 14:16

@decgal88. Amen to this month being ours. I really thought it was so easy to get pregnant. Waiting patiently now. How many dpo are you currently? When are you testing? I have had crazy mood swings over the weekend and no sore boobs. Just confused. Also had some near severe cramping that didn't last long. I just pray it's a positive and all is well. No obvious changes noticed in CM. Sorry for the long story... Lol... But this eases the anxiety.

bunhead34 · 22/10/2018 14:02

I tried to convince myself it was implantation bleeding,but I don't think so!!

bunhead34 · 22/10/2018 13:50

Well AF has turned up today out of the blue, not due until sat!
So I guess I will see some of you on the November bus 😭

sav89 · 22/10/2018 13:44

EvieV28 I'm not feeling confident this month either Sad

Sric1994 any cramping today? I've got none at all! Was going to test on Wednesday but not sure I should be spending money to see a BFN!

Rightnow1245 good to know about dtd during tww, one less thing to worry about! Good sign if you're CM is different to normal leading up to AF. Think this could well be your month! How are you feeling today? I've go absolutely no symptoms at all...only about 7dpo so could be too soon but would be nice to feel a twinge or two lol

Hope all you ladies get your BFP's soon I believe quite a lot of us will be testing this week Smile

Abzi91 · 22/10/2018 12:39

Good luck for your new month of trying @Decgal88! šŸ¤žšŸ½

Hope everyone else gets their BFPs 😊😊

Abzi91 · 22/10/2018 12:38

So bought a FR this morning, tested at work (I couldn't wait! šŸ™ˆ) and it was a bfn 😫
I've been having cramps all last night and this morning, so think AF may be on her way. I just want it to arrive so I can get out of this limbo and start TTC again!!

Sorry to hear AF arrived @Lovelysam1! Fingers crossed for November šŸ¤žšŸ½

You're not being silly @Rightnow1245. It would probably be best to hold off, if you can, but I know it's difficult! Maybe use a cheapie if you have one, so you don't waste a FRER incase it's still early?

HelloBrass · 22/10/2018 12:30

@Rightnow1245 I'm going to wait it out and see if AF is late! I have no tests in the house anyway.

I'm 99% sure I'm out - I think the spotting is just my usual pre-AF. It's just cruel that it started at 10dpo! My mood is definitely PMS!

Fx for you. I'll keep you posted how I get on.

SwimSwim · 22/10/2018 11:50

@Rightnow1245 a few now I've started googling!! šŸ™ˆšŸ˜‚ I had a horrible nightmare that felt so real, that I still remember now, on Saturday night and I NEVER remember my dreams. I've been shattered since Friday, where my . I'm waking up lots throughout the night (this happened with DD too) and my skin improving. It could all be psychosomatic though. Are you due AF on Thursday? Are you waiting to test then? My Flo app says I'm due on Monday but my cycles vary normally between 24-33days, with Monday being day 28. I'm going to try holding out until Monday but I know I'll be really tempted over the weekend!

Rightnow1245 · 22/10/2018 11:17

swimswim have you got any more symptoms? I’m on the same day of cycle

Rightnow1245 · 22/10/2018 11:15

Sorry to hear that lovleysam but atlest you have your answers rather than being in limbo 😊

Ducks oh ok I’m not sure what the FRER are so I can’t compare! Hopefully it’s just to early.. when is AF due?

sav no cramps today but just pain on my right side if I touch it and feel a little sick... I think it’s in my head tho!!! what about you?

hellobrass That does sound promising 😊 af due for me on Thursday too.. when are you going to test?

decgal sorry to hear it was stressful.. I test at 11am,4pm and just before bed 😬 most people do twice tho. When are you going to start?

So am I really silly I just bought a first response test I am 8dpo with AF due on Thursday.. should I try and hold off or just do it and see?

keaps · 22/10/2018 11:11

Hey lovelysam1 I can understand how you feel. Let's be positive positive next month is around the corner. Keep faith alive.

SwimSwim · 22/10/2018 11:06

Morning ladies, I've been trying to keep occupied so I don't symptom spot but really can't help myself. I'm now 8dpo and have been absolutely shattered this weekend. My skin has been terrible this past year and it's really clearing up this past few days. I know it's probably far too early for symptoms but my brain is obviously very good at fooling me šŸ™ˆ.

@lovelysam1 sorry to hear that's AF arrived, FX for you next month.

Decgal88 · 22/10/2018 10:41

@keaps I am on a similar journey to yourself I got pregnant 3 years ago without trying but unfortunately the timing and person i was with at the time just wasn't right, now I have been trying to conceive from end of July and its taking a little longer than i thought, I am taking folic acid and vit d combo just hope November is our month šŸ¤žšŸ¼

Decgal88 · 22/10/2018 10:35

Hi Ladies hope you all had a good weekend mine was a little stressful but feeling better today Smile thank you @Rightnow1245 I will buy those SmileAF has now stopped so new month hoping for a BFP! what time of day is best to test I gard in the afternoon?xx

HelloBrass · 22/10/2018 09:11

Hey all. I'm DPO11/CD29 today. Had what looked like light pink spotting on Saturday, only once on wiping, & light brown CM last night. Again only on wiping.

I would let myself believe it's implantation bleeding, but my mood also crashed through the floor yesterday so I think it's a sign AF is on her way.

AF due anytime Thurs-Sat

sav89 · 22/10/2018 08:44

Hey Rightnow1245 how are you today? Still got your cramps? No symptoms for me... I'm about 7dpo so just hoping it's too soon!

Lovelysam1 · 22/10/2018 08:31

Yeah Hun, was hoping for a bfp though but there’s always next month

ducksandacorns · 22/10/2018 08:29

@Lovelysam1 ahhh sorry, think I'm out too so likely see you next month!
