I'm pretty certain I ovulated on Friday, after 2 months of constant negative opks. So these next two weeks are going to drive me fully barmy! Anyone else out there in the TWW?

@ALittleBitAlexis the beginning of your sentence made me laugh 😆👏🏼 currently 8dpo and only thing I have is scratchy throat (probably a cold) and my smell is slightly keener but think that cause of healthy eating

ALittleBitAlexis · 04/09/2019 16:40

Despite it feeling like approximately a year since I ovulated, it's only around 4dpo for me - this month is dragging so badly! I have a lovely holiday to look forward to next month even if it doesn't happen, but I keep daydreaming about not being able to drink while I'm away, what a silly daydream Blush

@Katie1109 definitely sounds like a sensible choice to avoid opks etc, the last thing we all need when TTC is extra anxiety.

@Moongirl10 That's still quite early I think for symptoms, it's definitely not over yet!

Hi everyone, first month using OPKs and I think I ovulated on CD13 or 14. For some reason my Flo app keeps telling me I’m going to ovulate on CD7 which doesn’t make much sense to me, so I think I’ll stick with following the OPK. I should be about 7DPO today but feeling no symptoms Sad

Katie1109 · 04/09/2019 11:13

Hi @DSR1, no I do not use any kind of OPKs or temping. We've only been trying couple of months and I am not ready to go that route yet. I read that a lot of women will ovulate within 2 weeks after early miscarriage. I find OPK's and temping very stressful and it makes DTD a chore rather than pleasure :) I will keep monitoring my body. If this was not an ovulation, I will wait for my af whenever it arrives and start again.

DSR1 · 04/09/2019 11:09

@Katie1109 and @SMiles14 so sorry about miscarriage, I know exactly how it feels and trying again!

@katie1109 Have you tried POAS to check if you are ovulating? It seems fairly quick to be ovulating again so soon, but you never with our bodies!

Sweetpea12 · 04/09/2019 11:05

Currently 2DPO if my app is correct I know I had a Smile positive on clearblue ovulation digital on Sunday but we only DTD thurs, fri and sat before this but trying to feel hopeful that it might have worked! So into the TWW again and trying not to symptom spot because it’s way too early but any wee niggling sensation I’m thinking this is it lol

DSR1 · 04/09/2019 11:04

Hi Ladies...do you mind if I join?

Bit of background, I have PCOS and have been trying since May 2018. I got pregnant in Feb 2019 but then unfortunately had a MMC in April 2019 :( We've been trying again since June 19. Hoping this will be third time lucky as it's really getting me down now.

I ovulated on late 2nd Sept or early 3rd Sept so only 1dpo, but hate this TWW!!! Time goes so slowly!!!

Katie1109 · 04/09/2019 10:59

Hi all, I had mc at 5 weeks with bleeding on 21.08. I believe I ovulated yesterday or day before, felt usual ovulation pains, but I may be wishful thinking. We DTD yesterday and this morning. If my cycle stays as it was before mc my af should arrive 17/18 of September x fingers cross I did ovulate. Will DTD tonight as well, just because I feel like it lol! And the TWW begins!

SMiles14 · 04/09/2019 10:58

Hello Ladies, please can I join? I think I am 4 DPO today... I had a potisive OPK on Saturday which was CD16 for me which is earlier than I usually O. was following SMEP & we ended up dtd Fri, Sat, sun, skipped mon, dtd last night as I got EWCM yesterday so that confused me... FF and Glow both agree that I o'd on Saturday based on OPK and Temps so I will believe them!!

We are ttc for #1, had a MMC in July which was found at the 12 week scan. It was horrible, but as with CPs at least we can get pg and I believe you are more fertile following a MC so I'm hopeful.

taytosandwich · 04/09/2019 10:52

Not sure about the test sensitivity, I'd hazard a guess at 25 miu

taytosandwich · 04/09/2019 10:51

@thankgoodnessforeurope according to the app I'm 10 dpo today but I haven't been tracking so could be a couple days out either side. This is today's test, it isn't any more visible so I dunno! I'll do another later and if I think it's worth it I'll get a frer tomorrow.

Anybody else started the TWW?
thankgoodnessforeurope · 04/09/2019 09:22

@taytosandwich looks positive! How many dpo and what sensitivity is that test??

taytosandwich · 04/09/2019 08:41

I did do another test this morning but it only had a vv faint line so I'm thinking it's just the tests acting up. But undeterred I'm going to get more today Grin I'm sure they think there's the crazy pregnancy test woman coming when they see me in the shops Blush

flossy12 · 04/09/2019 00:31

@taytosandwich ooohhh are you testing again in the morning??

MountAbora · 03/09/2019 22:51

@taytosandwich that definitely looks promising!!
@Pineapplebaby fingers crossed for you this cycle
I’m just torturing myself by googling every little symptom but at least I’m not bored this tww 😂

taytosandwich · 03/09/2019 22:17

Eek! My head says it's just a shit cheap test throwing up a false positive but my heart is getting a bit excited Blush

Pineapplebaby · 03/09/2019 15:56

Can I join? I’m in my 2WW; currently 6dp5dt. Had frozen embryo transfer last week; official test day is Sunday 🤞🏻

MrssC92 · 03/09/2019 15:33

Meant to say BFN!

Livingmagicallyagain · 03/09/2019 15:17

12dpo and BFN! The random bleed has stopped though! It was browny then proper red yesterday, but stopped overnight. So strange!

MrssC92 · 03/09/2019 13:54

I'm 8dpo and I tested this morning. bfp obviously! Not feeling hopeful this month though

flossy12 · 03/09/2019 12:52

8dpo today, my twinges have stopped 😕 still got neck and backache, not had any spotting or nausea, just really tired sleeping in most mornings that I have off work 😑 can't say I've got many more symptoms, the constipation has cleared up too (tmi) and all Cm has basically dried up

Nearly caved this morning and tested but managed to stop myself 👏🏼 not feeling hopeful though

GoldLeafTree · 03/09/2019 09:37

@Each2TheirOwn I'm 5dpo today. I'm feeling quite run down but also thinking it might just be a cold. This is my first time TTC and the next week or so is going to be a long wait

Fingers crossed for us both Flowers

Each2TheirOwn · 03/09/2019 06:53

@GoldLeafTree Ooooh, let's hope pregnancy symptoms 🤞🏼 how many DPO are you?

I had a terrible sleep last night and woke up with a banging headache and blocked nose that cleared within minutes of getting up. Probably just the change in seasons or a cold but I'm clinging onto hope. I also feel a bit sicky but might be because I had a rubbish sleep x

GoldLeafTree · 03/09/2019 06:30

@Each2TheirOwn 5DPO today having twinges in my stomach, pain/discomfort in my lower back (left hand side), heartburn, wind and a dodgy stomach. Probably completely unrelated but I can hope

Exactly the same here. Pain in lower back yesterday but only briefly. Cramps in my stomach and an upset stomach too and I've woken up this morning feeling really nauseous.

Symptoms of pregnancy or Sunday nights takeaway...?

taytosandwich · 02/09/2019 23:30

I've gone completely mad this month, I haven't been tracking but Glow says I'm 8 dpo, I've already been testing Confused my next pregnancy will be my 6th (1 DS and 4 miscarriages) so you'd think I'd know better. I've never ever had a bfp before 10dpo on any test.

I am blooming knackered and sleeping constantly, boobs are a bit sore on and off but think that's it as far as symptom spotting goes.
