Anyone starting their TWW now?

@Kangaroo77 i just found this from clearblue, someone else asked the same question.

Thanks for your message, If you are using the Clearblue ADVANCED Digital Ovulation Test the solid smiley face indicates that the holder has detected your LH surge and it will display Peak Fertility for 48 hours to indicate your most fertile time. The screen will clear after 2 days, and your holder and any remaining test sticks can be saved for use in a future cycle. If you test again after the screen has cleared and there is still some LH in your system it may display another Peak Fertility result. However, there is no value in continue testing after you've seen Peak Fertility. I hope this helps CB

Morning all.

Had a weird thing this morning where I used CB digital opk after getting solid smiley Sunday am. And today it is STILL solid smiley. I prob shouldn't have tested it again 🤦🏻‍♀️. I had bad ovulation pain Sunday on the day of positive opk, and lots of EWCM up to Sunday. But has anyone had continuous smileys? I'm worried I still maybe haven't O'd yet. I don't temp unfortunately. Thanks xxx

Fingers crossed for you @yoomoo ! Fertility Friend looks great, I keep meaning to download it. I also use Femometer but have only started tracking my BBT for the past 5 days or so. I'm fluctuating between 36.52 and 36.65 at the moment but obviously I have nothing to compare that to so it's a bit meaningless at the moment!

Nothing new to report here, still pretty thirsty with a dry throat and the occasional pull in my abdomen although to be honest I haven't felt that as much this morning so far. CM basically non existent! Starting to think it might not be our month, but it ain't over till the red lady sings as they say.

@Kaybobx I bought a Femometer one, about a tenner on Amazon, it comes with an app. There is a premium version but the freebie gives you all the basics. You take it every morning before you get up, should be around the same time (I try to do it within the same hour each day). I just pop it in my mouth, under the tongue for a minute or so until it beeps - nice and easy

Good luck to everyone, keep us updated on any testing!

Morning ladies,

This temping is all so interesting. I'm going to give it a go next month.... Well hopefully i wont need to
Sorry silly question, what sore of thermometer do you use and where do you take the temperature from?

No symptoms for me yet, think I'm 4DO. Just abit of watery CM.
I'll be cracking open the cheap strips too as much as i should wait i just can't resist.

@youmoo what does the increase in temperature signify? Sorry, I've always been confused by the highs and lows when people temp!

No symptoms for me! I'm sure I'll be cracking out the ICs at the weekend too 🤦🏼‍♀️

@bluebubbles12 ohhhh best of luck to you too, I'll be looking out for your updates! It's so nice to chat to others going through the same thing. I only discovered this forum a couple of days ago and it's like I'm hooked now.

@Darcy86 haha don't worry, I get you!! You just notice everything don't you. I'm trying not to pay too much attention to anything I'm feeling, unless something really out of the ordinary happens!

AF is due for me on Wednesday 17th, so we'll be testing close together!

I'm looking forward to hearing everyone's news over the next couple of weeks 🤞

Hi @bluebubbles12 and @yoomoo - I've got this mental block about testing early, I can't quite articulate why but I almost feel as if I'm tempting fate - I know, makes no sense! So I'll almost certainly wait until AF is late/if she doesn't arrive. Due between Tues-Thurs next week although my cycles can be a bit unpredictable at times so we'll see.

I did think that too about the cramping but then I doubt myself, I.e. was it just the massive roast dinner yesterday?! 😂 sorry to lower the tone! You know how it is though during this period - it's like I'm reading so far into everything my body is feeling, sometimes I need to just try and keep my feet on the ground a little to avoid the huge smack of disappointment if it's not our month.

Fingers firmly crossed for all of us 🤞

Nice to have company!

I have tingly nipples, which is new. Really trying to play it cool though on symptom spotting, it’s unlikely to happen on the first go statistically and we are both quite old

Hello can I join in please? 🙋‍♀️

I got my smiley yesterday am and should be ovulating today (although my instinct is last night or during the night). Anyway starting 2ww
Should be due on around 23rd June.

@yoomoo thank you, I'll check it out.

@Darcy86 that all sounds very promising! What date are you due to test?

Hello everyone - I am about halfway through the 2WW, around 8/9 DPO at the moment. Today I have had some dull cramping in my abdomen, and have also been really thirsty with a dry mouth. My boobs feel quite full and heavy but not particularly sore. This could all mean nothing though, of course! I'm just scrutinising every feeling, like we all are during this time.

Have been half-trying for our first for about 6 months (not using protection but not tracking anything) and as we've had no luck that way I have just started to use ovulation tests and track my BBT.

Fingers crossed for a speedy 2WW all round and some BFPs to come!

@yoomoo I think I'll give temping a go next month then if it hasn't worked out this month. Did you buy a special thermometer and do you use a particular app? I use the Femometer app to log my OPKs and I think I recall seeing a section for temperature. Fingers crossed it doesn't come to that though!!

Haha yes I'm looking forward to the rest this week too! My husband jokes that he doesn't mind it carrying on for a few more months because I'll take it all away from him once there's a baby 😂

Me! I am 1dpo and woke up this morning feeling uncharacteristically nauseous. Trying not to read too much into it - its very soon and I am new at all this! Could be acid or something. Due on 24th so it’s a long 2ww.

@BMWL isn't the human body crazy?! Last month i really thought i was pregnant. I had extremely sore boobs, headaches, emotional and then my period was 4 days late (I'm usually very regular). However this month i have nothing other than cramping in what feels like my right ovary. I cant really remember what it was like leading upto my first pregnancy, i do remember feeling like my period was coming for the week before i found out though so was quite shocked when i found out.
Fingers crossed for us all. X

Hi @Kaybobx
I ovulated on CD16 this month, whereas last month it was something crazy like CD 26. My periods have been all over the place since the ectopic.
Only other symptoms I've had is feeling emotional yesterday for no reason, my right hip has been quite sore, out of the blue, it's like the bone is really tender- it's the same pain I got when I ovulated so I don't know what's going on.
Have mildly sore boobs and was awake half the night lash night unable to sleep.
Hopefully they are positive signs, fingers crossed xx

Morning @yoomoo @BMWL @bluebubbles12
So sorry to hear of the rough ride you have had. I can't begin to imagine how that felt for you both.
Ive been TTC for 9 months now, it will be my second should it ever happen! I have a 2 year old girl who will be the most amazing big sister. I thought it was easy the second time around but i guess not.

Totally with you on the twinges, i feel every little thing now haha. I still feel like i have cramps abit 3DPO. Last month i ovulated on CD20, this month was CD16! Why are our bodies so complicated?
I used the cheap strips and also a clear blue advanced digital.
Interested to hear about the temping too?
Ive never done this, do you find it effective?

Be great to do the TWW wait you girls, its a long old time. Keep us all posted of any symptoms

@youmoo aww lovely, I have a stepson too!

It's funny isn't it, years and years of paying zero attention to it and now you notice everything! I can't believe how much I've learnt over the past few months too.

I haven't done any temping. How do you find it? Do you find that it supports what the OPKs say?
