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

It’s sooo tempting!! I have crampy tummy and feel damp down there (sorry tmi 🙈🤢😂) so keep thinking AF has turned up and no colour to it... yet. And I’m peeing for Britain but I honestly think that could be the anxiety of this TWW business! What about you?

I tested early too! I wasn't expecting anything though so early, I just wanted to test my IC's that I'd ordered from Amazon so see how they worked as I've never used a strip test before. AF is due next Saturday so I'm going to wait until then to do another one - if I can cope that is!!

Anybody been having any symptoms?

@HaresHoping @Lolajames it’s just too tempting x I’m feeling my crampyness is AF coming, we’ll see, just as my tests arrive 😭 if I’m out in the next day or so I will be checking back in to find out how you are doing 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 WOW... this whole thing takes over!!! It’s the weirdest mix of excitement and stress.

Hey ladies! May I join you in this agonising wait?! Not TTC per say so have no idea on my ovulation pattern but DTD on 13th after removal of coil last month a history or surprise BFP’s. I think the 27th/28th I should know if AF doesn’t show up by then! But zero patience and have just ordered FR tests from Amazon to start testing in the week! I have had a light headache for the past 3 days, strong cramps on day 5 after DTD and period like cramps now, lots of peeing, could be absolutely nothing 🙈🤣 I feel OBSESSED!

How is everyone today? Anyone testing early?
How is everyone feeling?

@xRRx You're so right. I’ll be testing every day now until AF arrives, or not...

@WonderCity
I think I'll try again tomorrow morning. I also have loads of ICs so not feeling too guilty

I have to admit I did one yesterday morning at 9dpo and not even a hint of a line

It's still all early days, and we definitely won't get anything definitive for a few days, but if you have ICs to burn then pee away!

xRRx I see something there. Will you test again in 2 days?

I also caved and did a test this morning bfn. I’m only 9dpo though so I’m still going with the positive attitude. I convinced myself to do it because of all these possible symptoms I’m having but in reality the egg may not have implanted yet and so that would all be nonsense lol. I’ll try again Tuesday. Or tomorrow... I have some cheap tests to burn through...

@xRRx I think I see a faint line, good luck 🤞🏼

@HopingHare that would be a coincidence if someone else had a similar name!
I don't blame you for caving in, but it's still early days and symptoms sound good.

I know I should just wait a couple of days, I have inverted too and looks just as uncertain. I'll try again tomorrow 😂

Hey @xRRx (I seem to have lost access to my account 🙄 it's HaresHoping!)

I think I might be able to see something but I'm really not sure. Have you tried inverting the image? Can you see it better in person maybe?

I caved and did a test yesterday, BFN. I knew it was too early but I just needed to check for peace of mind. Will try to hold out until Saturday now. RHR still going up which I'm taking as a good sign, boobs a bit sore now too.

Hope everyone okay! ☺️

Good morning everyone
10 dpo today
I did an IC... does anyone see a shadow of a line?

Hey everyone hoping I can join I’m only 3Dpo and I’m going crazy 🙈 I spent the day googling when is the earliest I can take a test

@HaresHoping
It's our wedding anniversary on Sunday so also extremely tempted. Very nauseous this evening which is mostly definitely psycho-somatic.
Have also had the mad vivid dreams. Eugh I hate this, I wish I could be one of those women who find out their pregnant cos their period was late!!

@WonderCity yes roughly I think! I think I'll use OPK's next month - starting to worry that I got my ovulation day wrong by a day or so 😬 we'll see! I tried to stay away from OPK's as I only came off the pill in January after 13 years so thought it'd take my body months to get into a cycle again (I was wrong!) My cycles only seem to be 23days though so again I'm worrying that this may cause issues.

Hi @Trixlrl welcome.

@HaresHoping I'm also having really vivid dreams. I never usually remember my dreams. I always thought it was because I was so tired, I just passed out! Perhaps, I have been getting more sleep which is why I remember them or maybe it's a symptom...
My temp dropped a bit today but I didn't get a huge amount of sleep so trying not to worry too much about it. Not due on until Sat 27th trying to test at all before then as it's so unlikely for us.

Hi ladies, 1st cycle here trying for our second. Took 2 years the first time around and we're taking a relaxed approach* this time as the toddler tempers the baby crazy!

*In theory we are taking a relaxed approach, in reality I'm seeking out TWW boards and symptom checking like crazy haha.

Also testing 26/27th. If I'll last that long before POAS!

Yes nice way to think of it and at least getting pregnant is way way more likely than winning the lottery.

8dpo today, on the home straight now. Just need to keep busy next few days, might try and keep away from MN as it triggers POAS urges!

Have a nice weekend ladies x

All this talk of monitoring our RHRs made me get the Fitbit out but then I felt bad for eating a double chocolate cookie when I hadn’t even managed 10000 steps today. I’m also noticing possible symptoms that are probably normal / fabrications of my over active mind. Ttc defo sends me a bit loopy. I was feeling positive earlier with a couple of possible symptoms but then I rationalise with myself. I sort of remember not really feeling anything special last time and I didn’t get my positive test until 11dpo but it was a strong line. I’d actually resisted testing that month lol

Hareshoping, is the boiler fixed yet? How are you managing?! At least the weather warmed up a tiny bit these last few days.

xRRx I’m right there with you resisting the urge to poas. I think I’ll be able to hold out until I’m 9dpo. So Sunday... possibly.

Bee44 I think we’re roughly at the same dpo? So you didn’t use opks this month? I rely on them now. That and and I use my fitbit app to track my cycles and symptoms like cm or cramps. What’s weird is last time before my first was born I had a couple rounds of iui and the doctors are not as precise as we try to be. I guess it’s not an exact science. If only.

POAS urges and I'm only 7dpo.
This is going to be a tough week...

That’s really interesting re RHR. I’ll need to start using my watch more.

I’m at the stage of the TWW where every twinge convinces me that this is definitely my lucky month. I try to remind myself that this happens every month but I seem to conveniently forget. Symptom spotting is part of the fun though, right? It’s like buying a lottery ticket and fantasising about what you’ll spend your millions on
