Starting the TWW - anyone want to join ?

Waking up with a horrible cold is surely a sign I'm pregnant right? And not just because it's November and I work with sick people! Symptom spotting to the extreme!!

Thank you very much @TerriB84. It does make sense. The reader was not new (used it last month) but the baseline makes sense. I am very sorry for your mc... it sucks (fellow sufferer).

Hi all,

Another new joiner if that’s ok?

Currently 4DPO assuming ovulation on Saturday after getting my static smiley on Friday. First month TTC after an early Miscarriage last month.

@MrsMargot the Sunday test gave you an empty circle because you used a different reader which meant it had no baseline to reference. I hope this clears up the mystery .

Good luck to everyone still waiting and congrats to those who got their BFP’s. x

Been having cramps for the last couple of hours, think period is on its way

Welcome and good luck to the new joiners we've had tonight, quite a few of us now!

Hi All
Its my fifth month trying, first month using opk kits, i am 6dpo, however im not feeling any symptoms of early pregnancy at all😩 so i doubt im preggers this month, can only dream.....

I have a question for you ladies. My clear blue digital OV test gave me the static smiley on Saturday morning. This is supposed to mean that in 12 to 24 hours you will ovulate (I think?). I had a left over reader from last month and I did one on Sunday morning too and it gave me the empty circle (low fertility). Now I am wondering whether the test on Sunday was wrong or I indeed ovulated on Saturday early hence the next day I had the empty circle. If anyone can help me resolve this mystery it would be greatly appreciated!

Can I join in?

I’m either 9 or 10 dpo today. Had a squinter on sunday at 6/7 dpo but assuming now that it was an evap line or something. Totally obsessed with testing - IC at least twice a day. Trying so hard not to use the one FRER I have because I feel that if it’s negative, I won’t handle it very well.

Symptom spotting like mad - nausea, cramps, tender and sore boobs since Saturday. The last two days I have been SO emotional and have really struggled to cope with a tricky toddler. And a really dodgy tummy. Food aversion too - tonight I only ate about a quarter of my meal in Nando’s. That has NEVER happened.

Congratulations on the BFPs. So exciting to see, and gives me hope!

I feel like I need to make a confession. I have peed on 4 IC's in like 2 days! I'm only 8/9dpo. I just can't help it!!! I came home from work and rwaisied I hadn't peed since lunch time and figured why let such a good hold go to waste! Actually lost the plot over here! Send help!

So I've been assessing my symptoms and I'm thinking that my "period" pains and symptoms I had a couple of days ago may have been implantation? I was ADAMANT that I was coming on but today - nothing! It would have been around 9dpo (roughly) and I have no idea when we have dtd this month as we've not been actively trying! I googled period cramps a week before period due and the tinterweb is suggesting possible pregs so maybe this month is my month? Got a bfn this morn but if I only implanted yesterday or day before I doubt I would have high enough hormone levels yet anyway?

GOOD LUCK to everyone this month I have a good feeling 🥰✨

I got very moody last month the day before af. Tonight I’m exhausted and nearly burst into tears when I couldn’t park my car. Hoping it’s not af creeping in

Welcome @mrsmargot and also sorry to hear about your loss. Ttc is so tough sometimes x

Thank you @Mseddy ! I am very much looking forward to contribute towards the good results of the group! However I must say we only dtd a couple of times (last time Wednesday before Saturday/Sunday OV) and I do not have much hope. Quite depressing really. Or maybe this moodiness is a preggo sign 🙄😂😂!

Welcome @mrsmargot. Sorry for your loss. Fingers crossed for you this cycle!! It's going well with BFP's in this thread so far!

Hello everyone!

I hope it is ok to join. I ovulated very late on Saturday and I am 4dpo. It is our second cycle TTC after a miscarriage in July.

Good luck to everyone!

@LongLegsStarryEyes the 99% relates to later I believe so just in that small percentage! Still gives me hope if I get a negative on the weekend that it could still be positive a few days later.

FIRST RESPONSE™ detected the pregnancy hormone levels in 76% of pregnant women, 5 days before their expected period; in 96% of pregnant women, 4 days before their expected period; in >99% of pregnant women, 3 days before their expected period; in >99% of pregnant women, 2 days before their expected period; in >99% of pregnant women, 1 day before their expected period; and in >99% of pregnant women, on the day of their expected period.

@ReginaPhalange89 When I was pregnant I had more discharge in the first trimester than normal?

Also congrats @hadaley ! Xx

Thanks so much everyone!

My cycles have been weird, I came off the minipill in June and my first three cycles were 25-26 days. Since then they've been 28. I think my app was still trying to average in those weird short cycles maybe? I thought I was testing 10/11 days post ovulation (so CD 22/23) with the First Response, however I think my numbers were wrong and I must have tested too early (or I was in the 1% it doesn't pick up?)

I had had super puffy boobs but they'd gone down and hadn't really felt any other symptoms, I only just twigged that my worse than normal cramps and PMT might be something else, and I thought I was obsessed with symptom spotting!

Have done a second test with much less concentrated urine and got another BFP, feels official!

Baby dust to everyone! #luckythread xxx

Yesss!!! @LongLegsStarryEyes! Congratulations! I knew this was going to be a lucky thread

Congratulations @LongLegsStarryEyes and @Hadaley! My AF is due a week tomorrow I'm determined not to test until then unless obvs I start bleeding before or on that day then I won't need to. Last month my period started on time but it only lasted one day and was really light but got a BFN the day before that period!!

That was supposed to say feel better about my grumpy mood!!! Haha. I thought it was really early pms but maybe it's not!!

You can use your cute Christmas announcements for friends and family now!

Yay! Congrats @hadaley and @longlegsstarryeyes hoping for an avalanche of BFPs. I am now 5dpo and was woken at around 2:30am by really bad cramps. I saw my OB-GYN this morning as a follow up to my post-op and she said it might've been implantation cramps so to please keep her posted. She was so excited that 8 wks post-op, we might've conceived.
