TWW - let’s keep each other sane!

@AmberGee gosh that's so frustrating isn't it. Our body really deceives us during the TTW - either that or we read to much into even little symptom.

I am due next week Monday and all the symptoms I thought I had have also all disappeared.

But remember it's not over till af arrives. Fingers crossed!

@ree348 I’ve only done one test I’m going to wait until Saturday to see if my period comes but I’m thinking I had all the symptoms of pregnancy and now today I only really have very light cramping, light back pain and lightly sore boobs, slight spotting around 12pm today

@AmberGee hi! So I read that opks can also pick up some of the pregnancy hormone HcG which is similar in structure to LH (or to that affect). Therefore if you are picking up any peaks in your opks a few days before af is due, it could be HcG.

A pregnancy test can only confirm that. Are your opk levels increasing over time? If so that is also a strong indicator!

@JessB89 it's hard to tell them isn't it, I guess time will tell, but it's so hard waiting isn't it! Will you wait to test too?
I haven't got any in so I'll go and buy a cheap one on Friday, it should show up buy then, then buy a better one if there's even a hint of a line 😂 I can't keep them in as I just use them 😂 and refuse to keep paying loads for a test when I could pay £1 for 2 and get the same BFN!

@Ginini. Thats ok. I normally get sore boobs but ive had sore boobs since my last cycle. I do sometimes get CM but never really get much so its hard to tell.
Try not to over think im sure it will all fall into place. Easier said than done i know. I always try and wait too. What tests have you got? X

@JessB89 that's what I'm gonna try next I think! I meant late not early sorry 🙈 do you get any symptoms when ovulating that you noticed?
It's probably my body playing mind games with me 😂 I try and wait till I'm late! I did take one one a fe days ago, as I had brown spotting, but it was negative, probably too early to be honest! I'm gonna give AF till Friday to show then I'll test! Well I'll try to wait till Friday 😂I can't make any promises 😂

@Ginini. I felt postive actually, i did still look at my app and forums. Then my AF came 3 days early. My cycles are between 26 -28 days. As ive been inputting my OPK its pushed my AF date back to a longer cycle which ive never had before. It was due on 28th/29th but not saying 31st 🤷‍♀️ maybe i did ovulate early but that doesnt explain my high OPK now though?

Oooo wonder what's going on, do you wait until AF is late before testing? Fingers crossed 🤞

My nipples are feel very tingly tonight too, not sure if I'm over thinking my pre AF symptoms! Anyone else going as crazy as me?
Send help!

@JessB89 how did you find the break in December? Did you still secretly obsess? Feel like I will 🙈😂
Ahh I see! It's possible to ovulate early so might be that? When is AF due?

My cramps seem to have gone and I normally have spotting by now since AF is due tomorrow 🤔 I have had a few longer cycles and one shorter! Hoping it's a good sign and not just another longer cycle!

Hi guys just read this thread and I go super excited for you all!!
Looking for some advice so I used OPK and got my peak on 8th Jan and had unprotected sex around that time too. Around 9dpo I have very light pink spotting only once when I wiped then two days of nothing and this morning I had very light brownish/red spotting when checking my cervix. I have had back aches, neck aches, cramps, left and right pelvic aches, bloating and sore heavy boobs with sore nipples (gotten better today but still slightly sore & heavy- nipples very sore/sensitive) also had stretchy clear/white CM
I did an OPK last night because I was curious and had some available. It came up positive 3 days before period is due
Period is due on 23rd...
what’s my chances of being pregnant?
I will do a proper pregnancy test in a few days time

@Ginini. It sure is. Ive never done temping, i was worried i would get to obsessed by that. I did take a break December for OPK and was planning to this month too but i spotted on CD11 & 12 so wondered what i was. So started doing OPK on CD14 to see what was happening. I take seven sees folic acid and DHA. X

@JessB89 Ahh ovulation is so confusing isn't it! I don't like opk's, I find them too frustrating, been temping the last two cycles but don't know if I understand it to be honest! I think bench cycle I'm gonna try and have a break from all the tracking!
I've been taking folic acid and vitamin D, I take vitamin D anyway tho as I have Coeliac Disease! Have you?

@Ginini. Ive been trying since August so 6th cycle. The 2 other months i have done OPK i had my peak on CD16 before my peak i had 4 & 5 days of high ovulation. Definitely is confusing.
Are you taking any vitamins?

Ahhh, I did IUI. I'm on 7 DPO and I feel like I'm going insane!

@Nellieee ah still early for cramps for you! Hopefully a sigh of implantation rather than af 🤞🏼 any other symptoms?

@JessB89 have you been TTC for long? Is it completely different to the rest of your cycles?
It's all so confusing isn't it!
I'm on cycle 8 (I think soon to be cycle 9) and I've had three cycles that are completely different! Threw me off each time!

@Ginini. Im not sure what is going on. Ive not ovulated this late before. Im wondering if when i got spotting on 11th and 12th whether i ovulated then. Im havent had my peak yet 😔 ive got some dull pains today too 🤷‍♀️

Sorry @Dex1521. For some reason I thought this was your first cycle ttc. I'm only on second, but know how you feel. It can get really deflating quickly. I hope that the negative turns positive!!

@Ginini I've had mild cramps too yesterday. Due on on Monday. Gah. Hope the witch doesn't come!!

@Dex1521 oh I'm sorry it's not positive. You've still got a chance though. Maybe wait a couple of days or until you're due on to test again? This is your first cycle too, isn't it? Lots of time!

@SenoraSurf congrats!! Defs looks positive to me.

Feels bittersweet having one bfn and one bfp today!!

@SenoraSurf def positive in those pics! Congrats 🥳🥳

Cramps for me today and AF due tomorrow 😫 pretty sure I'm out this month!

@JessB89 welcome 👋🏼
No experience ovulating late, but I hear it's not uncommon to ovulate anywhere from cd6 to cd20! I looked into it because I think I've ovulate quite early a few cycles!
