TWW starts... ovulation day today! Anyone else?

I walked away from a blank negative stick at 10.30am and just looked at it again to see this...
these are stick numbers #320 #321 & #322 btw 🙈 I do feel very AF’y and wondering if that middle stick is where it was thrown upside down in the used sticks box

@xRRx WOW !! What a beautiful BFP

@xRRx thank you so much for sharing. And so sorry about your MC xx
Your symptoms have given me hope. I’m at that point in my cycle when I’m waiting for my usual spotting to start so feeling particularly anxious. I’m trying not to poas until 14dpo at least but as each day passes and I haven’t started spotting, I get a teeny bit more excited. Need to relax!
Wishing you a healthy pregnancy xx

Hey @cat8986 , thank you!

I have noticed yellow CM from about 7-8 dpo. It really hasn't been much and (tmi) but noticed more after a bowel movement as though it squeezes it down!

However I had a yellow/cream tinged CM all the way through my first pregnancy before I started spotting and bleeding. And I read the CM was a normal and healthy sign and was probably nothing to do with the MC.

I have had cramping since yesterday and felt extra bloated yesterday. Still cramping now down there but feels like things are pulling and stretching.

@xRRx firstly, congratulations on your strong BFP!
I’ve actually been stalking this thread during my own TWW and love to follow everyone’s good news stories, and hopeful that it may correlate with things I’m experiencing too and end up with my first bfp myself!

Just wanted to ask, you mentioned yellow cm the last few days. When did this start for you? I am 10dpo and this morning I wiped and had a bit of yellow cm myself. I’ve never had this before. I usually spot before my period and I was crampy last night so thought my spotting was rearing it’s ugly head again but it was only yellow. Did you have cramping too?

Appreciate your sharing your symptoms! And congrats again!

@WonderCity scrolled past your ice cream, I've decided I need some!!

@Arrierttyclock @WonderCity thank you girls!

And thank you for encouraging me when my ICs were faint, that's what pushed me to take that FRER.

Fingers crossed we get some more positives on this thread in the coming week 🍀 🤞🏼

What a great start to the day! Hopefully this is the start of other BFP’s to come on this thread. I think I’ll try to hold off until Thursday to test, when AF is due, but if I get a desperate urge to test before then I’ll go for it.

Of course I tested today too. I thought I’d try a FRER but nothing came up. Totally blank. 10dpo so there’s still hope.

@xRRx yessssss! Those ic looked good but that FRER is unmistakably bfp. Congratulations!

@xRRx massive congratulations that's a really strong line!! I need to go to the chemist in a bit and I know I'll pic up some tests. I want to wait until Saturday but I think I'll be testing Wednesday which will be 10 DPO. I haven't got any crippling period pains yet which is strange but my boobs have been tender and I've been so so emotional. Could be either!?

@Jaymar Thank you 🥰. I woke him up and he believed the line even though half asleep. We're not getting ahead of ourselves but stayed up talking for ages. Cautiously excited.

When will you be testing?

Wooooooow CONGRATULATIONS @xRRx !!! That’s a nice strong line 😃 I’m so happy for you! Have you told your other half?

Insomnia! This was one of the hardest symptoms last time for me. I've been awake since 3:30am.

As I needed to pee I had to use my FMU on a test... IC first- as faint as yesterday, probably slightly fainter?

Time for a more sensitive test so dipped one of the FRERs I'd been saving...

I'm only 11dpo and I'm shocked. This is like my 14DPO line in my first pregnancy.

@xRRx I’m sorry to hear about your mmc, but great that you’re here trying again and hopefully about to get a digital result your husband will clearly understand. I’m glad these guys aren’t as obsessed as us. That would be a dangerous mix. Another symptom. Feeling nauseous - certain it’s due to now having finished the last of the fudge brownie. I’m eating my feelings!

@WonderCity ahhh choc fudge brownie, my fave 😋

@WonderCity you've summed up the reality of all this perfectly.

my boobs are also hurting just on the sides too.
I've also had some yellow tinged CM last few days and a bit crampy.

Definitely keeping the tests and will do a line up! I've ordered a CB digital too as when I had a BFP last year (ended in MMC) my husband needed it spelt out. He doesn't understand this line business like we do.

Unless sitting in peace on the sofa eating this counts as a symptom?

Guys! This is intense. It’s all consuming. Constantly thinking maybe... but nah probably not... but maybe... then I poas and sulk about it for a little while but then it’s back to maybe... Urgh! I’m due AF on Friday so I’m going to try my very best not to test again until Tuesday. I’m being realistic. I’ll never make it to Friday.

@xRRx although I also did an afternoon poas and it came up very negative. Absolutely nothing. Even though I held it in the light at all kinds of angles and squinted. Yours looks very very promising. It’s hard to believe it could actually be a bfp I know but I’m starting believe yours looks that way! Keep us up to date. Are you saving the tests and lining them up? I know they dry out but I’d do it anyway.

@Bee44 I’m having no symptoms that I can think. Maybe sore boobs but only on the sides and sorta like in my armpits. Weird lol. Probably just my glands up or something. I’ve got a tiny sore throat and have been sneezing a bit for a couple of days. Bit of a cold it seems.

@GCB1234 I've been the same, the wetness drives me mad because I expect something to be there when I go to the loo 🙄 I had cramping for a few days this week too actually, like lower pelvic region and then up towards my belly button but they've stopped now. I had spotting last weekend but I think that was from ovulation and nothing else since.

@HaresHoping and @Lolajames it can change so much in a matter of 24hours or even 12 hours in my case today. BFN one day and hope the next!

@WonderCity ok so I've moved onto peeing on an IC twice in a day, I just felt I needed to after this mornings glimmer...

Ive got this now... very slightly darker...

Still not taking this as anything certain as I need to wait a few more days

A strange one for the symptom watchers, I have extremely painful bloating but only at the very top of my stomach, at the end of my sternum. Nothing is shifting it and it's even hard to sleep the last couple of days. Weird.

What's even weirder is that I had surgery for my endometriosis when I was all of about 5 DPO on DD (urine test on day of surgery came back negative, found out I was pregnant via post surgery bloods, queue a very scary 1st trimester) had very bad bloating after surgery which is normal due to the gas they use to inflate your stomach but obviously now I don't know if this was actually a symptom for me!

Also caved and did a test yesterday at 8DPO like an eejit, literally peeing away money!

I was at my MIL this weekend for her birthday and I drank because I thought nah no way. I know it won't do any harm to any potential baby but worrying myself about ruining my chances now!

I'm 7 DPO. It's my first month TTC and off the pill so fee like my cycles all over the place atm. According to my FLO app I'm due AF on Tuesday but I only ovulated on Sunday so I hope it's wrong!! I've been POAS constantly in case I ovulated earlier 😂😤🤦🏽‍♀️ I'm going to try hold off testing until Saturday now as my husbands away Thursday/Friday and I wouldn't be able to keep it in I was and don't want to tell him over the phone so forcing myself to wait but I know I'll test Wednesday because I'm just so weak!! I felt like I had loads of symptoms last week which is impossible but nothing reallt atm. Convinced myself I'm out, the only glimmer of hope I have is that I have incredibly bad period pain about a week before I'm due on and I haven't got that yet 🙏🏽
