Come and keep me company whilst we anxiously test together Smile I’m currently 11dpo, ttc my first. How’s everyone doing? How many dpo are you and when is AF due?

Lots of baby dust to us all x

@acupofteamakeseverythingbetter
Yes I use the CB ones. I think Flo is going by my period cycle and FF is going by the day I ovulated according to CB. I guess we aren’t out till AF shows xx

Maybe because you ovulated later this month that why it’s saying a later date for you period (hopefully it won’t come to that and you’ll get your bfp!) Smile have you been using OPK? Xx

@acupofteamakeseverythingbetter I jsut started with FF yesterday and used Flo for many years to track periods but this last 2 months my periods have been longer than usual. I ovulated at day 21 this month and the last months day 13. Hmm

Oh that’s so annoying 🙈 how long have you be using each of the apps for? I use Flo app and has always been pretty accurate but I have been using it for years and I’m quite regular xx

@acupofteamakeseverythingbetter @Zara092 @Tina8800 it’s so hard isn’t it ladies. I’ve got Flo telling me I’m 1 day late and FF telling me I’m not due until Saturday?
Felt like AF is coming more and more by the day. Urgh. Xx

Hi @Zara092 yes of course, welcome 😊 I’ve been having a strange heaviness on and off this afternoon, kind of feels like my AF is coming too but I’m not due until Friday.

Wishing you lots of baby dust ❤️ Are you going to be testing every day? Have you had any other symptoms? Xx

Hi everyone, please may I join :)
I’m 10dpo and had BNF this morning. I was really saddened by the result because this is month 4 we’ve been trying but no luck.

I know it’s early, but I’ve been having period-type cramps all day and I upset in case AF starts in 3 days as it’s meant to.

@Tina8800 I’ve been using the FRER ones. They’re currently on offer 3 for 2 in Boots so I stocked up 😂 which are you using?

Crazy how slowly the days go in the TWW 🙈

OP posts:
Tina8800 · 04/01/2021 15:24

Same here. Every night I go to bed saying to myself its only a week, but the first thing I want to do in a morning is to test. What kind of test do you use? Im thinking to try the CB early detection but I`m scared it will mess with my mind even more...

acupofteamakeseverythingbetter · 04/01/2021 14:02

I have started testing yesterday at 10dpo and again today at 11dpo - both BFN. I’m in two minds about whether to test every morning until I get a BFP or until AF arrives or whether to hold out until the weekend. I’m due this Friday 8th.

Good that you had those symptoms with your previous pregnancy, hopefully that’s a good sign 🤞🏻 Xx

OP posts:
Tina8800 · 04/01/2021 13:55

Thank you! I was planning to test on the 12th but I dont think I will be able to wait that long. Probably will start on the 8th (will be exactly a day and 4 weeks) and keep testing after. When are you planning to test? My symptoms are cramping, headache, sore breast, crazy hunger and thirst. The weirdest is the constipation and diarrhoea in turn. I had them with the previous pregnancy too (that wasnt planned so I thought I had a stomach bug).

@DeeDee20 maybe it has something to do with folic acid but it’s important so we just need to keep an eye on our cycles and hope for the best. It really does make me wonder how many people “accidentally” get pregnant!

Of course @Tina8800 welcome 😊 I’m sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Must be difficult for you to know whether this is your body readjusting or pregnancy symptoms. When are you planning to test? Keeping my fingers crossed for you! 🤞🏻 What symptoms are you having?

Oh no I’m sorry to hear that @sadz 😩 xx

sadz · 04/01/2021 13:24

Im not sure its implantation its quite a lot and is red too not browny pink.. ill see how it goes the next two days if it continues then i guess it definitely is a period... but oh well hope you guys have better luck ❤❤

Tina8800 · 04/01/2021 13:05

Can I join, Ladies?
Im on 7dpo.. I had a miscarriage in the beginning of November, had a period 4weeks after without ovulation. It finally happened 7days ago and I have all the symptoms that I had with the previous pregnancy. Im worried as I had a month without an ovulation, maybe my body is just in a hormonal shock.
Cant wait to take a test, I feel like Im going crazy. Fingers crossed for all of us!!!

DeeDee20 · 04/01/2021 13:03

@acupofteamakeseverythingbetter
I’m not taking those vitamins but I did start taking folic acid 7th Dec and I ovulated on cd21 instead of usual cd13.
I wonder if that could be it. I know exactly how you feel - wishful thinking. I just never ever thought it would be this hard xx

@DeeDee20 just wondering if you have been taking the pregnacare pre-conception vitamins? I've been taking them and now I've been hearing stories of them messing with women's cycle and making them longer! I'm still taking them but I'm going to keep an eye on my cycle lengths to see. Hopefully all will be fine as lots of women have fallen pregnant whilst taking them. Just thought I'd mention it as a possible cause for longer cycle.

Maybe the pains are a good sign and if they're not the usual period pain hopefully it will mean a BFP for you very soon Smile

I had back ache for a few days after ovulation and on 6dpo and 7dpo I had cramping and ovary twinges in the evening. Yesterday morning my boobs felt a little tender but all that has gone away really. All these "symptoms" are so minute really, are they all just wishful thinking?

Do you currently have any symptoms? xx

OP posts:
DeeDee20 · 04/01/2021 12:47

@ohsheglows thank you. And you too. We dtd every other day for 2 weeks over the ovulation period. Well I hope so.
So hard to keep distracted xx

ohsheglows · 04/01/2021 12:45

Nooo @sadz, I second what @acupofteamakeseverythingbetter maybe it's implantation bleeding?

And welcome @DeeDee20! Fingers crossed for you my lovely.

@acupofteamakeseverythingbetter thanks! I'm not holding out much hope as I have low follicle count so conception is very difficult for me, but miracles do happen eh!

acupofteamakeseverythingbetter · 04/01/2021 12:41

@ohsheglows DTD every 2 days should surely put you in a good position to have a BFP this month! Grin Keeping my fingers crossed for you xx

DeeDee20 · 04/01/2021 12:41

@acupofteamakeseverythingbetter Hey! Thank you. My period was due at the weekend, tested on Sunday thinking this is Defo it but no BFN. My periods are usually 29 days but last month it came on day 34! I do not know what on Earth is happening.
I don’t know how but I don’t think I’m going to test again until Friday. I have the usual period pains but they aren’t as painful. Do you have any symptoms? Xx

acupofteamakeseverythingbetter · 04/01/2021 12:34

Oh no @sadz could it be implantation bleeding?

Hi @DeeDee20 welcome Smile I’m on 11dpo too and I also got BFN this morning 🙈 when are you going to test again? I have fairly short cycles (26 days) so am due AF on Friday 8th. In an ideal world, I’d hold out testing again until I’m late but I just don’t have the patience for that 😁 do you have any symptoms? Xx

@acupofteamakeseverythingbetter
Hi ladies can I join. I find these groups so helpful. Ttc first and in cycle 7.
Currently on 11dpo and got a BFN yesterday. My periods cycles are never this long, currently on cd33 and darent test again. So heartbreaking.
Hope you’re all ok x

sadz · 04/01/2021 12:04

Ah guys :( i think ive started my period :'( im so gutted.

ohsheglows · 04/01/2021 11:05

@sadz I swear TTC makes you crazy with all the symptom spotting haha. I don't even know what dpo I am now because this month I decided to throw out my opk sticks and DTD every 2 days.

How long have you been trying? When are you next going to test?
