The long tww begins!!! My positive opk was Friday so guessing today I'm 1dpo. Been dtd everyday for last week so hoping we have caught! Although I only have one Fallopian tube due to ectopic two months ago xxx

@LT103 Sorry I have no clue, I find temping so confusing - its like maths to me. haha. So what cd do you think you ovulated on?

Forest27 · 05/11/2020 20:13

I’ve always just gone off my app for when I ovulated and this was the first month using OPKs. I think I ovulated on Monday but can’t be sure.. so really I need to wait until Friday 13th to use my FRERs. I probably won’t though (so I ordered four just in case) 😂

LT103 · 05/11/2020 19:49

I usually test from 10 dpo. I never wait any longer 😂

greenfern1 · 05/11/2020 18:42

Yes @Babyhoping1 me too, everything is setting me off!

And agreed, this TWW is really dragging...really trying not to do too much symptom spotting but it’s hard!

Forest27 · 05/11/2020 18:42

@Babyhoping1 No more than usual! My hormones have been all over the place since my miscarriage so I’m used to it! I am having twinges here and there though, but I think it must be unrelated as it’s far too early 😒

Forest27 · 05/11/2020 18:39

When did you test in Sept? Before this month I’ve never tested before my period so I don’t know if I’ll be one of those who can get a positive before 🤔

I’m not 100% when I ovulated either. But I’m aiming not to use my FRERS before 13th... which is CD 25 for me. How am I going to cope until then?? 😂

Babyhoping1 · 05/11/2020 18:35

Is anyone feeling more emotional the past few days, i feel like im crying at everything

Had such good positives with one step when I was pregnant early sept! Wish I had some now... might buy them next when these pink IC run out!!

Time is dragging... I had my positive OPK 30th at 10pm... so guessing I ov'd either 31st or 1st? So I might even only be 4dpo!!!

Forest27 · 05/11/2020 18:20

It’s good to note it all down! I wish I did when I was pregnant so I can see if my symptoms match up 😂

Is time going slowly for everyone else? I’m struggling not to think about it 🙈 I don’t know how I’m going to wait so long to test. I have FRERs coming tomorrow so I’ll have to get my partner to hide them 😂

I use one step! Not sure how good they are... I’m hoping they’re all wrong because they keep saying negative 😒😂

LT103 · 05/11/2020 17:25

I think I’m 11dpo anyway rather than 5???

1dpo! Anyone else?! Let's keep each other sane!
LT103 · 05/11/2020 17:24

So I think I ovulated earlier than I thought going by temp chart which means I’m most likely 11dpo. Didn’t get a positive opk then but got one couple days later so who knows. Did have lots cm buts it’s dried up last couple of days. I tested today which was bfn 🙈 think I just need to wait and see.

This is the brand I am using; not used before. Just got them off Amazon! I usually use 'one step' but couldn't get any delivered quick enough!

My cm is thick too! Very visible in my knickers (tmi) but it is white and creamy. I do think I get this before af though.

I've started writing down this all day by day. So next month I can be like "ah yes this is normal before my period comes" then I won't go so loopy with symptom spotting!!

I will carry on poa on IC every morning now though because I'm crazy 😜

Oh my god I'm so glad it's not just me that's already done tests 😂 I've still got loads of cheapies left so it's hard to resist! I've promised DH I wont buy any more cheapies when they run out and I hate wasting FRERs so early testing will probably be a no go next month. I think it's been hard to resist with being at home more too! Had a bit of nausea this morning which of course I've read in to like a book Grin no real 'symptoms' other than that though apart from the very thick CM!

Toastedsesame · 05/11/2020 14:14

@littleeggcup the cm is a good sign tho! I've just started getting it with a yellowy tinge, I definitely remember it looking that way last time I was pregnant.

I'm 4dpo today i think I keep getting it wrong. I did an opk today to be sure and its very negative so assume I ovulated pretty early, around cd10. Its gonna be a long wait!

Babyhoping1 · 05/11/2020 13:07

Also i was cramping yesterday but have had nothing today, has anyone had anything like that

littleeggcup · 05/11/2020 13:05

Isn't it hard to not read into every symptom?! So annoying!!

I have lower cramps and sore boobs too. But same; get this before BFP and af!!

Babyhoping1 · 05/11/2020 13:05

@Forest27 yh im hoping so, just nerves of being possibly a first time young mum Smile

greenfern1 · 05/11/2020 13:03

I’m TTC #1.

@littleeggcup I can’t wait to test too 😂. I’m finding it harder not to think about it constantly what with being home all the time!

Forest27 · 05/11/2020 12:59

@Toastedsesame it’s so hard when you know there’s tests in! I should get my partner to hide them 😆 ah that’s a good way to go about it! I’m obsessing as I had a molar pregnancy earlier this year and had to wait 6 months to be allowed to try again. We were actively TTC and had literally just DTD once that month so I thought I’d catch pretty quickly! It is only my second month of trying though and last cycle I didn’t track ovulation and just went by my app. My friend announce her pregnancy not long after my molar and it’s made waiting so much harder!! Fingers crossed for us both this month! It would be my first ☺️

@Babyhoping1 ahhh that makes sense! I haven’t thought of that... but I would hope these appointments would have to continue as normal? Fingers crossed!

@littleeggcup that’s what I did yesterday and I may have done one today 😂 I’m cramping too and have sore boobs but I had that last month and it didn’t mean anything so im trying not to overthink it! This cycle I’ve also had weird snotty CM (sorry TMI) which I had last time when I was pregnant but we will see if it means anything 😂

I have an 8 nearly 9 ds!

I tested again this morning and I'm only 4/5dpo 😂😂 what is wrong with me.

I've had full cramps this morning, low down. Apart from that not much else. That weird smelly cm last night hasn't returned so I'm hoping it's okay!!

@Toastedsesame first time young mum

Toastedsesame · 05/11/2020 11:42

@greenfern1 welcome! Feeling positive this month, despite lockdown misery. Are you guys all first time mums or do you have children? I have a 3yo little boy.

Babyhoping1 · 05/11/2020 11:21

@Forest27 just worried it might last longer than the 4 weeks and will effect appointments
