1dpo today! Anyone want to join the wait?

I'm 4 dpo & mild cramping this afternoon
God I hate this tww! X

6DPO here! So I woke up this morning with the most oily skin I've ever had, it was just gross! Has anyone experienced this?
Trying hard not to be too crazy with my symptom spotting but so far I've just had some mild on and off cramping since O and headaches daily.

@lydia771 set your alarm every morning to the same time that way you will know for sure. I used to do it 30mins apart and I could never tell and got all confused. Now I take it every morning at 7am and it’s made so much more sense to me. Yeah temp in the bedroom will make a difference but not much.

@lilypad88 I did have the fan on last night? Would that make a difference?

@lilypad88 @Newbie9 I didnt get the thermometer until my ovulation time which is annoying. AF is due on the 27th. I set my alarm for 7.30am every morning and then take it. Sleep hasn't been a problem. But I usually lay awake until my alarm goes off, so maybe I'll set it earlier? CM has gone back to egg white?! I'm so confused! I'm worried I'm not fertile!!

@lydia771 and yes difference in temperature in your bedroom can play a part too

@Spinksy9 don't worry too much as long as your temp stays above the cover line, as far as I know it's normal for it to fluctuate. Have you had any differences in amount of sleep, waking times, illness? That can all affect it xx

@Spinksy9 it's really hard to tell tbh... not enough data, it hasn't been confirmed because you don't have any temp before that so the app can't calculate or see a shift pattern. You'll have to be patient and see what happens tomorrow, if it keeps going down, it's most likely that af is coming :/ but again everyone is different, there is no perfect pattern so...

@lydia771 20min is quite a big difference in bbt, you should take it at 8am on point every morning as our temp tend to raise by 0.10 every 30min apparently

@Suki2020 yeah always as soon as I wake before I get out of bed and roughly the same time, a few minutes difference.

Sometimes I wake up and I'm hot and other days I'm cold, dependant on the house temperature/weather - surely that would make a difference?

Ladies, I've attached my BBT. I don't seem to get many replies but worth a try. I dont understand why my temp is going down? Also ovulation hasn't been confirmed according to femometer app?? Could it be late or double ovulation??

@AnxiousAnnie86 same here, it keeps rising but nothing much to report... I feel the same tbh... I don't know if it's because we both had a hell of a journey to get to ovulation but I feel like we just didn't conceive this month... too much stress because of that, timing not the best, etc. It would literally be a miracle if it worked this month 🙄 don't have much hopes lol

@lydia771 yes, make sure you take your temp properly, also it can happen on one day, as long as it doesn't keep going down it's fine

Hi @lydia771 are you taking your temp at the same time of day? Also without getting out of bed?

My temp has dropped again today! Is that normal? 😫 I thought it kept rising or atleast would stay as high as yesterday

@lydia771 hahaha yea, would be too much to hold although it would be an amazing birthday present! ^^

I'm just not good with surprises, I would give it away somehow 🤣

Yes, fingers crossed everyone! 🤞🏻🍀

@lilypad88 I asked my DP how he would want me to tell him and he said as soon as I found out, but if I do catch now I want to wait until his birthday first week of June but tbh he'd probably work it out anyway, I can't keep anything to myself 😂

@lydia771 I'm due the same day but not testing this time unless she decides not to show. I usually end up testing the week before and after 4 cycles i think I'm going to change my approach. Only test if AF doesnt show when expected. Fingers crossed for everyone!x

@lydia771 mine are due around 22-23th but I'll probably start testing at 10dpo because I have a luteal phase on the short side, so around the 21th I'll test. Although I really want this month to hold back and wait to see if AF is coming 😬

I don't talk about symptoms with my partner, I actuallly keep it quite secretive in case it would be positive ^

Ahh that's a good question actually, if you were to get a positive how would you announce it to DP?? Would you wait foe the test together? Surprise?? I'm curious ^ I have no idea how I would tell him... 🤔

@Hopingtobelucky yep defo keep a note! I use the premom app it's so so good and you can add notes for each day so I'm trying to add everything I can.

App predicts I'm due AF 27th so I'll if she doesn't turn up I'll test 28th but knowing me I will not hold out at all! I've not got much hope as only just caught my peak with this crazy cycle not sure my DTD timing is great but you never know 🤞

When are you all testing? I hate TWW so much. Anyone else pester their DP with TWW symptom spotting etc? I feel like I really annoy mine but it's rubbish when you've got no one else to talk to in person about it! Trying to chill out this time haha.

@lydia771 looks fab!

I'm only 3-4 dpo nothing to report! Hope everyone is well xx

@lydia771 ah nice rise! 😃 definitely on the right path now ^^

@Hopingtobelucky not much, 6 dpo today, felt some twinges earlier on but other than that nothing, still early days, I really hate this wait....

@lydia771 felt a bit bloated last night but not sure of that normal for me after ovulation- should really start keeping a note of the symptoms. Other than that nothing.
Yours sound promising, what date do you think you'll test? X
