I got my positive OPK yesterday so think ovulation is today CD 14 so bang on schedule.

I'm 29 and TTC first baby. On cycle 3 now and already stressed something might be wrong 😭

Any one else just starting their TWW?

@BarbaraD congratulations Hun!

I was exactly the same. Did a test on Saturday morning and I thought I could see maybe a hint of the faintest line but it was so faint I thought it was just an evap or something then got a very clear positive this morning. Can't believe how fast it changed.

To everyone who didn't get their BFP this month I 100% know that feeling. All you can do is keep trying and you'll get there. Sending baby dust to you all xxz

@EmmaOvary thank you!

I can't believe it! I've not really had any symptoms at all.

Fingers crossed we start getting lots of them on this thread in the next month

I just did a frer which was a pretty definitive BFN.
Expected though so onto the next month!

imnewherethisisme · 19/08/2019 09:27

Sorry to hear that @Alice8688 good luck for next month 💖

Alice8688 · 19/08/2019 08:35

@Caspianberg hoping you get more definite (and happy!) news weds!

I came on with a vengeance this morning 😔 I spent most of yesterday in tears-so it was not a surprise!!

On to next month!

Good luck to everyone yet to test! Xx

imnewherethisisme · 19/08/2019 08:33

I meant to test first thing as I'm either due AF today or tomorrow but I forgot 🙄
I will be testing at some point today though. I now don't feel sure either way, I had a dream last night I got AF and I had a dream the other day I was pregnant 🙈😂

Caspianberg · 19/08/2019 08:09

I tested this morning, only on a cheapy strip test as thats all I have. Think im around 11dpo, possibly 12 dpo.
There was a possible faint line coming through, although i showed Dh who said he didnt see two lines, but he thinks it is always two dark or nothing so not much help.
I think I will test again Wednesday.

Alice8688 · 18/08/2019 07:10

Think I'm out! Another frer this morning. Still a v faint line. But no darker than yesterday. So I fear a cp.

I just feel so damn pregnant! The sore boobs are unbearable 😭 and starting to feel queasy at everything. Guess my body is playing tricks.

Has anyone else tested? How're y'all getting on xxx

Alice8688 · 17/08/2019 15:13

Welcome @ljayc !! Big fingers crossed for you. Xx

@LA89 thank you! I'm so scared though that'll it'll be another cp or not stick. It's all I can think about 😔 this is the hardest part of the tww! Safe travels darl! And I'm so hoping for some good news for you 🥰 xxx

Hello

TTC for a while now but struggling to time things right. I usually have a 28 day cycle (give or take a couple of days). I thought I could tell when i was ovulating, but now I'm not so sure lol.

This month I used clearblue ovulation kit starting on CD11 & got 'low' til CD19 and then got 'high' until CD23 when i got 'peak'. I thought i felt ovulation on CD22 but my OPK that morning had shown 'high' and not 'peak' til the following day. I don't know how accurate they are, but if I trust the OPK, ovulation didn't happen til CD 23/24/25 (I think?) which is really late considering I usually have a 28 day cycle. Now on CD25 and trying to work out when I'd be due now.

Lx

@Alice8688 AHH congratulations I can definitely see that! Fingers crossed for a sticky bean!

I did test this morning and can see the faintest line. It's so faint I keep umming and ahhing as to if it's even there.

I'm only 9dpo (possibly only 8 if I ovulated 48 hours after positive opk) so think it's just a case of waiting it out!

I'm off on my jollies today. I have 2 tests with me and AF is due on Thursday so going to test Tues and Thurs x

@Alice8688 🙈😂
Story of my life 🤦‍♀️

I think I'm not testing because I don't think I am pregnant 🤷‍♀️

Alice8688 · 17/08/2019 09:41

@imnewherethisisme you have such willpower! I have zero. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I have also been feeling quick sick. But my mood swing Thursday was the best. 🙄🙄 jeez I really felt for DH afterwards. He looked confused. As did I. I was ridiculous 🤣 xx

imnewherethisisme · 17/08/2019 09:29

I can't decide if I'm getting symptoms or AF coming.
Last night my right nipple felt really odd, like pins and needles which I know can be a pregnancy symptom but I'm grouchy as fuck today which is typical of AF coming soon. Unbelievably tired, yesterday felt like it was about a year long & could have cried all day & evening.
I'm due AF in 2 or 3 days I think. My frers are staring at me right now but distracting myself by playing trains with my 3 year old 🙈

Alice8688 · 17/08/2019 09:00

@May2311 awww that's lovely! I have to say I love seeing bfps 🥰

It is stronger in real life so I'm really hoping. We had a mc a few months back and never got very strong bfps. So I'm anxious to tell my dh. It's heartbreaking how disappointed he has been since that we haven't conceived. Although he tries to hide it bless him.

I have had quite a few symptoms. Mainly my boobs. 😣 the pain!!! And I've had a headache all week. And I remember headaches with my dd and boobs with my ds! But I have also been a bit cramps which is typical af symptoms for me. Hence the anxiety.

Big fx for anymore testers today. (@LA89 have you tested yet?? Safe travels!!) xxx

May2311 · 17/08/2019 08:22

Morning all,

Im in a similar position to some of you.
Cycle 3, 5/6 DPO, TTC number 1 and going stir crazy in the TWW!

I really feel totally out this month- I have zero symptoms apart from a little crampy on my left lower abdomen and back yesterday. I just feel like i am wishfully thinking it’s pregnancy related when really it’s not!

@Alice8688 I do see something faint and if it’s strong IRL then that is really positive!!!

For anyone else testing today good luck- the one thing that keeps me sane these past few months is seeing others get their BFP! 😊

Alice8688 · 17/08/2019 06:51

So, last night I got a very faint ic positive. This morning I've had a faint (but there!) frer. I scarcely believe it. I've attached a pic. (It's not overly clear! It's clearer irl!)

In related news my boobs are so painful I could cry 🙄😂 xx

Anyone just starting the TWW?
Caspianberg · 16/08/2019 16:40

I think i am around 7-8 dpo
