Starting the TWW - anyone want to join ?

@MakeAWhish How you getting on? Resisting the testing I hope!

Ladies im on need of advice. What signs do you get when ovulating from fri until today I have had ewcm. Is this a sign im ovulating or about to? Help im so confused

Welcome @StaceyKJ333! @RosieStarr no none of mine are either. Helps to be able to talk about it, I'd drive DP mad otherwise! What I'm annoyed about is that af might have showed up so early that it's made me wonder when to use opks etc. If my cycle had just stayed the same I'd know what I was working with if you know what I mean.

I've spent 13 years of my life thinking just one missed pill could get you pregnant that it's a bit of a shock how complicated it actually is!

@showmethegin It’s soo hard not to obsess! But it’s so helpful to know there are other people in the same boat who know how it feels :) None of my friends or family are in the same position.

I’m joining as of today 😀😀 fingers crossed!

@RosieStarr I swore I wouldn't get all hung up on the TWW and would just take it easy but it's so hard not to obsess!

You're so right. My other half is totally oblivious (although I did catch him having a little read of my fertility book last night!)

I'm gonna try and wait till Wednesday and see what happens then. I also need to start my opks; that's how messed up and confused my possible AF has made me!

Maybe try and hold out until Wednesday @showmethegin? This is where we definitely get the raw end of the deal, I bet the mens' heads aren't wrecked like ours are!!

I’m only a few months into TTC but the waiting it’s driving me insane! About the days until AF is due and I’m trying so hard to keep myself occupied until I can test!

I'm exactly the same, I have no idea when to test now because of the whole 'is it af or is it implantation' thing. I have one FRER so I'm tempted to just use it. But if it was implantation (on Friday/Saturday) then it would still be too early wouldn't it? Gahhh

Stay strong!! I'm not going to test again until Friday when I will use my FRER, or that's what I'm telling myself anyway... We can do this!

Really hope the things you're experiencing are good signs @Mseddy and @showmethegin!!

I used an internet cheapie again today at 7/8dpo. BFN, of course. Why, why, why do we do this?? I've gone back to feeling sure this won't be my month though. A couple of you posted up thread about feeling a lot is riding on this month for various reasons, and I feel the same. DS is starting school next Sept and if this month was successful due date would be end of July (or a week earlier if I need another c section, which is likely) - but if it doesn't happen this month then I'm pretty sure the sensible thing would be to skip the next two cycles as they'd be super close (either side) of DS starting school, and I'd feel terrible not to be able to give him the attention he deserves at that time. The thought of not trying again until Feb is soul destroying so it cranks up the desire for a good outcome this month! Sorry for the monologue but I've thought about this so much and it's driving me nuts!

@showmethegin I really hope it's implantation for You!!! Fingers crossed

@Mseddy Keeping everything crossed for you! Have no idea where I am now because I got af, then thought it was implantation, then was adamant it was af and then it just stopped so back to thinking implantation again! I can't stand this waiting around!

@Regina nope! I'm sure it was probably just one of my overies joining in in a celebration squeeze as the other popped an egg out! But it's got my symptom spotting hyped up to the max!! Yeah twins first time round is much simpler! Haha

I will not symptom spot, I will not symptom spot definitely not totally reading into feeling like I'm going to vomit on and off all morning. Because that's impossible at 6/7dpo (totally ignoring the fact I 100% felt ovulation cramp both sides this month, and now talking my self into early symptom spotting as there could be two!) Send help for my crazy mind please!!!!

You're not alone @ReginaPhalange89, I tested yesterday with an internet cheapie even though I knew it would be negative! Why do we do this to ourselves?!

Welcome @sammi0805 and good luck to you!!

Hi can I join in please. Had a positive OPK on Thursday but by Friday it was a lot fainter. We DTD on Thursday/Friday and I used preseed for the first time. I feel I have built this month up so big in my head so I am going to be so disappointed if it doesn't work. I've arranged a big night out on Saturday as a last hurrah for us because we are trying and it will be another 2 years before I go out again 🙈 so I want to hold off testing until after then. Good luck to everyone else!

Drink until it's pink!! I've not heard that one but I like it! No need to worry in that case @ReginaPhalange89!

Thanks @mrsof20218. I will try to wait until Thursday, or perhaps Friday if I can hold my nerve!

@ReginaPhalange89 I wouldn't feel guilty or worry at this stage. If you have conceived it's still too early for it to have any impact I believe. I think they day drink until it's pink?!

Maybe 10 or 11dpo to be safe? Saying that I got a positive on a frer at 6dpo when I had my chemical x

The wait is definitely a killer! Symptom spotting like mad - yesterday I was ridiculously tired all day and peeing like a racehorse! About an hour ago I had a slight dizzy spell walking downstairs. Only 6/7dpo so I know it's probably all in my head! DS has been under the weather and has come into our bed in the early hours then kept us awake coughing every night since Thursday, so that would explain the tiredness at least! But you can't help but hope, can you...

I bought a FRER yesterday, any recommendations as to when I can use it and get a true result? Only came off the pill last month so not really sure when AF is due.

Hope everyone is doing okay and having a great weekend!! Xx
