TTC baby no1. Looking for fellow crazy TTC friends!

@Mia1985x morning 😊 thank you, I promised I wouldn’t google and I’m usually really good at not doing it so not sure why I did last night.. I’ve got sore boobs too, but now I’m thinking do I usually get them this early before AF and I have no clue.
Eek hopefully something shows up tomorrow for you! I know I wish this TWW away too.
I’m telling myself I’m going to wait until AF is late to test as that’s what I usually do but I’ve already broke one of my rules so who knows ha

@LMA27 Morning! That's a good sign that you are waking up to pee when you wouldn't normally, fingers crossed for you!
I am going to test again tomorrow and if it's still BFN then I will just wait on AF arriving. Are you planning to test early or are you just going to hold off for AF? I find the TWW so hard and always wish my days away 🙈 then AF arrives and I'm just desperate to skip ahead and start all over again for another month.

@Mia1985x I’m about 6dpo. I’ve also found I’ve been peeing more, especially in the morning I can’t sleep past about 5am without needed a wee which never used to happen.
I really hope you just tested too early 🤞🏼 are you going to do another test or just wait and see if AF doesn't arrive?

@LMA27 how many DPO are you? I have had the same thing with cm the past couple of days too. And (again sorry for TMI) I normally find I am really dry and have no cm between ovulation and AF. I have also been peeing loads too which I know some people believe is an early symptom. AF due Sunday for me and got a BFN on FRER this morning. Hoping I could be testing too early but thinks it's more likely to be wishful thinking and me looking into things too much 🙈🙈

@Faith82 oh gosh it sounds so stressful for you with work and not knowing.
I sometimes feel like that during my fertile window like it wasn’t enough times but then I know if I pushed OH for more times I don’t think it would work either way. But you could try the SMEP it seems to be something worth trying doesn’t it.

I have done the one thing I said I wouldn’t, and that’s google symptoms 🙈 sorry for the TMI but I’ve had some cloudy cm and apparently google says that could be a sign of early pregnancy... I’ve got 9 days till AF arrives so don’t know why I’m doing to myself..

@Pippy20and @Mia1985x I’m in that boat with you!

I’m due Monday and not a single symptom, but weirdly no pms symptoms either. I tested today at 9 dpo, just out of curiosity but knew it would be negative so wasn’t disappointed. Being told of redundancies at work next week and just wish I knew for sure I wasn’t pregnant so I could drink at the weekend. I don’t feel anything and I am a slave to my hormones so I really think I would experience some symptoms if I was.

I don’t think we are dtd enough in my fertile window, averaging 3-4 times. Anyone else the same? Feel like it should be more, but as many of you were saying it’s a lot of pressure on OH. Really want to follow smep next month.

Thanks, I've just emailed them so see what they say ☺️

@butterfly5291 no I dont have prime either. That's weird. You could drop them an email and just say you are interested in testing one of their thermometers if they still have this on offer and see what they say. They have always been so helpful on email to me. I've attached the full info when you click on the notification and it does say any questions just email. Worth a shot.

Thanks @Mia1985x I don't have any notifications in my messages. Do you have a prime subscription? Maybe it's to do with that? Xx

I was sceptical at first as you buy the item, do the review and then send them an email and they refund you for it. But the first one I did was for OPKs that i would purchase anyway and was £10 so thought worth a try. Since then I've had about £100 in products and everytime they follow what they state and I've never had an issue getting the money back. Just incase anyone was wondering or put off by the way it works.

@LT103 you just click on Me along the bottom and then top right hand corner there is a wee envelope symbol. It's in there. Let me know if that works ok 👍🏻

@Mia1985x thanks. Where did you find that. I can’t find it in the app?

@LT103 I have the one that sync automatically via bluetooth but it's really not necessary. Any BBT will do as long as it reads to 2 decimals! You can still manually add your temperature to the femometer app so it will still give you a chart. Like @Mia1985x said they are doing a product for review thing at the minute that would be worth looking in to!

@Mia1985x I know, some days it feels like 20 minutes have gone by with it in your mouth 😂 nice little forty winks

*in exchange for a review

I really am having a nightmare of a day. Putting it down to not enough coffee (trying to cut down) 😜

Anyone who doesnt already have a basal thermometer - I just checked and femometer currently have 2 on their test programme where you can get for free in exchange for a refund. 1 is the forehead one and 1 oral one. See photo. Hope this helps some of you pick up a nice freebie. This TTC is expensive business so always good to get a wee useful freebie 🤗

@Pippy20 How funny we are pretty much exactly in sync with each other Haha. I cant say I've noticed any symptoms this month, a bit of cramping but that could just as easily be AF. It would be so much easier if it was like in the movies eh 🤣

@Stabal I have also drifted off with the thermometer in my mouth waiting on the reading 🤣 some days it's pretty quick at giving the reading and others it takes enough time for me to drift off.

@CAG14 it is very interesting actually and I was concerned that the whole alcohol/sleep and other small things can supposedly change the reading you get. I do get a slight increase the morning after drinking but not enough to throw my pattern off and certainly not anywhere as near a change I get before and after obulation so I would definitely say it's worth a go and wouldnt worry about cutting out alcohol or making any changes. And boo to the no static smile, was it another flashing? Hopefully you get your static tomorrow 🤞🏻 how many flashing is that in a row now?

@butterfly5291 I also use the femometer basal thermometer that @stabal uses and find it so handy that it links to the app. I actually got this free through the femometer app. They often offer free products in exchange for an honest review. I have received thermometer, opks, pregnancy test and even a menstrual cup through this. It's a really good programme and I believe their thermometer is on just now so you could pick up a wee freebie. How strange about your OPKs, did you line it up in the photo and it definitely picked up the correct line for the test line? The odd time when I do the intelligent recognition I need to do a couple attempts as I've had times were it is looking too far along the strip and picking up the join to where the coloured section starts if that makes any sense Haha

@stabal which Femometer one do you have. I had a look and there were 3 different ones with huge price difference. I just have a cheap one just now but doesn’t read to 2 decimal points

@butterfly5291 you need a basal one because it has to read to 2 decimal points. I use the femometer one that syncs with the app. Really handy!

@CAG14 I've definitely noticed a spike up the next morning when I've had a drink but it's usually just on a Saturday night so I know what that reading isn't going to be accurate. I also don't get a block of 3-4 hours of uninterrupted sleep so I didn't think it would work but it seems to be pretty accurate so far in going with my cycle. I don't think I'm going to ovulate this month so I'm interested to see what temping says. You've been under a lot of stress with work so try not to get too disheartened if you don't ovulate this month, I know that's easier said than done but it's so easily thrown 💕

@Mia1985x What termometer do you use? I have literally started tracking temp and OPKs this week.
I only had my coil out on Sat and it was in for three years so no idea what my cycle is.
I just wanted to make sure I was tracking right at least. My thermometer isn't a specific basal temperature one, just a cheapie.
My OPKs read as 20% yesterday but I couldn't see any line but 0% today...but I could see a line. I'm going to invest in the clear blue one when I have better idea of my cycle cos these cheap ones are hard to work out!

@Pippy20 I also started temping after my miscarriage, I'd used opks in the past but never temped. It's been really interesting! Also the beeping isn't loud, it's never woken my OH. Sometimes I've drifted off while lying waiting for the reading and then the beeps waken me which is handy or I'd be late for work since I'd turned my alarms off 😂

@Mia1985x oh Mia I have done exactly the same as you!! I gave into my impatience yesterday as I had one frer test left - also only 8 or 9 dpo and also got a BFN. Way too early to test as the box itself says something like only 60% accurate or something from 9dpo so I don’t know what I was thinking as I knew what it would say - even as I was unwrapping it I was like why are you even doing this?! Flo also predicts AF Sunday for me so we are both in the same crappy little paddle boat 😂

Annoyed I broke my ‘never test til I’m late crap!’ Sometimes it’s just too hard to resist - however now I have no tests In the house and all the usual AF symptoms have arrived so I’ll just have to accept this month hasn’t worked and move on to thinking about the next cycle.

Have you had any symptoms? Not that that really means anything as I had no idea I was pregnant previously. Thanks to the movies I always assumed pregnant = vomiting like clockwork the next morning 👍🏻
