Just entering my fertile week & wondering if anyone else is & we can then wait out the dreaded TWW together?
AF due 1st March, most likely be testing from 10dpo ...no matter how hard I try & wait it never seems to work that way 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

@3isthemagic I am also 7DPO and waiting til Sunday at the earliest! I’m due AF on Tuesday, when are you due?

@gingerglitter I am also due on 25th, let’s hope for both of us it just doesn’t appear!!

Good luck everyone! 💗

gingerglitter4ever · 20/02/2020 15:23

@3isthemagic that’s encouraging! Let us know how you get on!

3isthemagic · 20/02/2020 14:49

I'm 7DPO & no AF symptoms (normally my boobs really hurt). Trying to wait until Sun (10DPO) to test but my reflexologist said last night my uterus was really warm & pulsing which apparently is a good sign!!!

gingerglitter4ever · 20/02/2020 14:23

@uisage I will try my best! Haha it’s really tempting esp. in the final countdown to AF (it’s due on Mon for me) to not test early..

This is my third day waking up with a headache and my appetite is really wack... I just feel gross and heavy everywhere haha 🆘

shelly10111 · 20/02/2020 12:33

I'm trying this month, I ovulated on 18th and think I'm still in my fertile window so I'll be due on 6th March and I come on like clockwork day 28, 6 months trying for our third, really hoping xx

paintfairy · 20/02/2020 12:18

Actually I'm 8dpo. Can't count. 😂

paintfairy · 20/02/2020 12:16

I had nothing much until today. 9dpo. Boobs started hurting (do every month but usually before now), and I've had light cramps. I usually start spotting soon. So I'm expecting the usual pattern and feel disappointed! AF due next Friday. This confirms I did ovulate when I first thought though.

uisage · 20/02/2020 11:54

I was due to ovulate around Saturday, officially into the TWW period here. I hate it so much.

@gingerglitter4ever Try and wait till 2 days after you're due! I always feel early testing never does any good.

gingerglitter4ever · 19/02/2020 22:38

Bump!

gingerglitter4ever · 18/02/2020 20:01

Hi ladies! Hope it’s ok I join as well! Currently 9 DPO with AF due the 24th. This is my 4th cycle TTC after taking my Mirena our in the fall (the birth control I used for 7 yrs)

I feel like it’s been and interesting couple of months getting to know my body again and figuring out what “normal” and not but this month I feel super calm. It’s the first month I’ve been tracking BBT and I just so cool about it all, I have no idea what happened but I’m just rollin with it 🤷🏼‍♀️

I had a temp drop and some mild cramping Sunday / Monday at 7/8 DPO and have been slightly bloated and a bit headachy but no other crazy symptoms

Not sure if I’ll test before my missed AF, I don’t know if I dare to go there after being so calm all month 😂

A08x · 18/02/2020 19:14

Congratulations @AimeeT90 amazing news ❤️

Raizelrea · 18/02/2020 17:43

Hi everyone, hope I can join in! We have been TTC since June, not entirely sure if ai ovulated this month since my cycle's just been odd after an unusually light AF at the beginning of the month. One of my cheapie OPKs from last week looks positive in hindsight but it didn't seem it on the day, and had no static smiley on CB opk. All of my CM has dried up now though (sorry for TMI), so if I haven't ovulated yet I don't see it happening at all this month. Not overly opimistic this month because of it, but we DTD every day bar one last week so can't say I haven't tried 😄 good luck to all!

AimeeT90 · 18/02/2020 09:13

I was dtd on the days of my positive opk, but it seems I have two days of lh surge and then ovulate after that, so this month we made sure we made the time on everyday and a day after.

I meant I'm under the gynaecologist, this month was the first month that we were supposed to have some tests done to find out why we are having the recurring miscarriages but hopefully this will be our month, just the wait now and hopefully we'll get to our first scan 🤞

CocoW · 17/02/2020 20:10

@AimeeT90 Congratulations ♥️🥰

paintfairy · 17/02/2020 19:49

@AimeeT90 how were you getting the tracking wrong? Might help the rest of us! Lol.

I'm 5dpo ish. So 11 days to go!

Juno231 · 17/02/2020 19:22

@aimeet90 omg congratulations! Especially after your miscarriages ♥️. Did you do anything differently this month? You mentioned being "under gynae" but I have no idea what that means lol.

AimeeT90 · 17/02/2020 19:04

Evening everyone!
Just thought I would update you all, I've been having so many symptoms over the last couple of days but tried not to get my hopes up (I've had zero symptoms when I've gone on to miscarry).

Anyway, took a test this morning and got my BFP and a bout of morning sickness 😊 never been so happy to feel queasy!!

Hopefully this one will stick and you'll all get your BFP soon too ❤

uisage · 17/02/2020 11:51

@Mycrazylife85 Hopefully you get another good doctor. Good luck in the rest of your journey

@bribri1997 Good luck on your first cycle! I am not planning on test until I'm 2 days late. I did an early test for DS1, and it was negative so early testing clearly doesn't work for me (it doesn't for all women). Plus there's obviously the risk of getting your hopes up for a chemical.

DH was in the hot tub a couple of times the week before last so I'm worried about his sperm count. I think he might have scuppered our chances for the next few months. I usually only DTD every other day but might sneak an extra one in there tonight because I should be ovulating around now.

CocoW · 16/02/2020 14:05

@Mycrazylife85 sorry to hear your off the bus! Sounds like you've had tough TTC journey.
Hope you get more answers from your appointment on Wednesday ♥️

Good luck! @Mlou32 keep us all posted x

Mycrazylife85 · 16/02/2020 09:55

I'm going to step off the bus.. ☺️ it's very obvious to me that in going to have a long cycle. My body is gearing up to ovulate but can't quite manage it. My temp chart is all over the place! We've dtd Thursday and yesterday morning and my bits are sore this morning 😳🤦🏻‍♀️ My bits definitely couldn't do the SMEP, I'm done, also with using OPKs and temping, although I'll continue to temp. I'm off to the doctors Wednesday with my husbands SA results and then they can refer me to fertility specialists (his was good). I have PCOS but despite having cycles anything between 37-89 days, because I'm not overweight I don't feel I get taken as seriously. My doctor who was fabulous has just started maternity leave (the irony) so let's see what the next one says. Good luck everyone. I'm off to visit my friend and all her children 🤷🏻‍♀️😔

Mlou32 · 15/02/2020 21:37

@bribri1997 good luck to you! My fertile week doesn't start till tomorrow, ovulation on the 21st, so I probably won't start testing till maybe 7dpo, the 28th Feb. Probably a bit too early but that's when I'll start!

bribri1997 · 15/02/2020 19:08

I’m also going to join if Ok. My first month ttc so I’m new around here lol. I’m due my AF on 25th said my fertile week was this week so have been dtd 9,11,12,14 and will tonight aswell. When are you all going to test?

Mlou32 · 14/02/2020 23:15

Can I please join too? Smile My first fertile day starts on Sunday. I've been diagnosed with endometriosis and just had my laparoscopy and also a hysteroscopy last month so I'm hoping that cleared things up a bit and I'll be able to conceive now! We've been trying for around a year and a half so hopefully it'll be soon for us.

In regards to OPK strips, I just use the cheapies out of poundland, a box of 5 for £1. I track my period on my Fitbit app and my predicted day of ovulation (day 14 of my cycle) always seems to coincidence with the LH surge that the strips pick up so I think they're pretty accurate.

A08x · 14/02/2020 23:04

Seems like we are all quite in sync with one another in terms of OV day!

I don’t know about any of you, but I am bloody knackered. My Flo app initially said I was due to ovulate last weekend, so we were DTD from start of last week, then as per OPKs didn’t actually happen until yesterday!! I tell you 13 straight days of that I will be happy to not see a naked man for a while 😂

@CocoW @Mycrazylife85 I vary between a cheeky text while he’s at work, or else catch him off guard at random times, or (no judging) in the spirit of V day I bought some naughty underwear 😂. He does know when I’m ovulating so it’s an attempt to keep things interesting.

@AimeeT90 so sorry about your miscarriages, sending love ❤️ We too are keeping quiet from family so it’s lovely to be able to share in here xx
