When is the earliest you would test?

@MaltyJones92 you’re not being doom and gloom if you’re not feeling well.

That sounds painful and not nice to be dealing with either 😞 are you feeling any better today? X

@Giraffe888 ah I'm glad I've got another TWW buddy! 🤣

I don't want to be doom and gloom as there's enough of that in the world at the moment, but this month I've been feeling super achy and in a lot of pain when moving. I'm convinced it's a virus but the doctor told me yesterday he thinks it could be a sign of arthritis. I'm only 28 and have always been fit and healthy up to now so that's a bit scary. It's certainly made DTD a bit challenging this month and I think it might have something to do with me ovulating late. I'll be totally shocked if this month is our month, because I've got so many other things on my mind at the moment!

@MaltyJones92 sorry to hear you’re feeling unwell. Hope you’re feeling better now?

I’m now in the wait! Had my positive opk on sat so should have ov’d on Sunday.

@Giraffe888 I think I ovulated really late this month but I'm due next Tuesday so not long to go. I literally have no desire to POAS this
month but I'm sure that will change by the weekend. I've been quite unwell the last couple of weeks so will be really surprised if anything happens.

I’ve got a positive opk today in cd12. Earlier than last month as my positive was on cd16

@Sesamechick how frustrating that you’re late and not fully arrived yet. Good idea to take a step back and try and not concentrate on it. I try to do that but I always know subconsciously when I’m fertile etc so I find it impossible to cut off 😞

@MaltyJones92 I keep saying I need to be healthier. I’ve got such a sweet tooth! I blame the fact that I’m up every 2 hours with DS so sugar keeps me going during the day 😂

@Sesamechick Ah I'm so sorry to hear that. Super frustrating when Mother Nature plays tricks on us!

I know I've already said this, but I've taken a step back this month and have tried to be a bit healthier in terms of my diet (and drinking much less wine!) and I'm feeling more positive and chilled out than I have been since I started my TTC journey. That being said, I'm sure I'll be deflated again if AF shows up in a couple of weeks. While COVID is happening it's hard not to obsess over these things when you can't distract yourself in other ways.

I re-booked my wedding for June today and our honeymoon (albeit all on a much smaller scale than originally planned) so that's given me something to look forward to again.

Good afternoon.

How are you all doing?

@Sesamechick did AF turn up?

@Sesamechick here's hoping you've just a late BFP like my two. Unfortunately AF has been and gone. I was utterly convinced and so disappointed I stepped away from the thread a few days.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you all xx

@Sesamechick How strange! Could you have ovulated later than usual? I find that makes my AF late sometimes. Hopefully you will find out either way soon!

I haven't tracked ovulation this month but assume it's either happened or just about to. Hoping I'll be a little less keen to POAS although I did order another four FRERs. I think I need to stop buying them as I won't be tempted if they aren't there 🤣

@Sesamechick Yes, I'm definitely more chilled out this month and feel a lot better for it. I'm viewing it as a month off 👌🏻 About to start my next TWW again and can't believe how quickly that's come around. Have hardly DTD this month so no high hopes!

How weird that your AF is so late - I hate it when that happens as you just want it to hurry up so you can concentrate on the next month. How many DPO are you now?

@Sesamechick any sign of AF yet?

@MaltyJones92 good idea to try a more laid back approach. Unfortunately I fail at that 😂

Hi everyone - hope you're okay. I'm now on CD9 of month six and have definitely taken a step back with TTC this month. Trying to take a more chilled out approach and see if that makes a difference 🤷🏻‍♀️ Bet when it gets round to my next TWW again I'll be kicking myself though 🤣

Morning @Sesamechick

I’m ok thanks. My AF arrived on Wednesday. Not been as heavy this month but had awful stomach cramps on Tuesday!

Has your AF shown up yet? So annoying when it’s late!

Morning all

Hope everyone is doing ok x

Hey!! @Sesamechick - tested and still BFN. No sign of AF! Was due today, but I think I've tricked myself into thinking I'm pregnant and made myself late! I've tested everyday. Still having symptoms, it's driving me mad!!

Sorry to hear bfn guys, next cycle 🤞xxx

Hi all
I am 9 DPO today...not testing yet as im not due on till Monday
This is our first cycle since coming off the coil
My other pregnancies have caught easy so Im hoping this is the same lol
Hubby hates this TWW already because its all I talk about

@MaltyJones92 we got preseed when we were trying to conceive our first but my DH hated it. It had a weird consistency 😂 m

This cycle would be ok as it would be early December for us. I always feel sorry for Christmas babies
