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

FYI the ICs I use are femometer ones. The packaging has changed recently, but I'm assuming they are the same. But with my BFP last year I feel they were much more sensitive. I could have had a bad batch this time perhaps.

Morning ladies. I've been busy last few days. Just checking in.
Just to let you know, even though I'm a big fan off ICs to satisfy those early POAS urges, I've not found them to be that great this time.

I got my BFP on Monday at 11dpo on FR. A solid line.
ICs at 10dpo were squinters.

I thought I'd follow line progression with ICs since then, and given I am still sub 4wks pregnant, they've showed only tiny progression, albeit slightly darker.

I took another FR on wed evening (13dpo), and got a dye stealer- darkness matched the control line. And then a CB digital too for confirmation (and to show husband). IC still faint. Thurs and today the IC only slightly darker

Yes the squinty line on ICs made me test on FR, but in these early days it's the FR that steals the dye! I'm sure everyone knew that anyway I'm just sharing my realisation.

Happy to share prog photo if anyone's interested.

Good luck to everyone testing today and on the weekend xx

Why little hope ? @WonderCity
Ah her sleep was great then 4 month regression hit hard and at 6 months I sleep trained (gently) and she sleeps through now has done for about a month. X

Morning @WonderCity,

I had a huge 0.33 temp drop this morning so just a waiting game. Due on today want it to hurry up now I know for sure what's coming. If my temp had gone up, I'd be more on tenterhooks.

@Coffeemum1 you have plenty of time yet. It’s defo exciting to start testing though. I always use FRER first given that they’re most sensitive but so pricey! I’ve got 1 FRER amd 1 cb digi left. Saved for next month now.

@mrssunshinexxx your brave wanting another baby already. I don’t think I could have done it too traumatised from lack of sleep at that point lol. I’m 14dpo today. I have very little hope for this cycle now but happy to get started with the next.

Well I tested only a cheap test from Asda and got a BFN (was my 2nd wee of the day). I’m 9dpo could it still happen 🙈

Hi @WonderCity aw that's good ! She was 8 months yesterday! I don't feed through the night though and she only has 3 big feeds through the day so I'm hoping it won't be long til they return (or I get a bfp!) I got my static on Valentine's but actually felt ovulation the morning after it is always quite painful for a few hours. We dtd the 3 days before that I hope it was enough
What dpo are you? X

Morning everyone!

Welcome @mrssunshinexxx! How old is your first? I’m still breastfeeding but my periods came back fully after 8 months. @GCB1234 have you broken yet and tested this morning? I wouldn’t hold it against you lol. I have. I had one Ic left and no af although due today but it’s very negative again. I’ve decided that all this cramping etc is how I always feel actually and I need to just wait. My cycles can vary between 28 and 31 days so maybe tomorrow as that’ll be 31.

@HaresHoping I’ve downloaded the app. I’m gonna give it a go next month. So you do your temp before anything else. I wonder if it’ll work for me as I’m blessed with a child that has never slept through. Almost 18 months and still wakes three times a night. So I’m up and about. Hmm. Will give it a go anyway.

@TrixIrl @WrongendoftheSTIX any updates this morning? I do t know about you guys but I’m finding being this close to af agonising in a way. It’s getting to me. The only thing I normally get and haven’t yet is a bit of spotting. I even went looking for it but there’s nothing. Although I think that says more about my state of mind than the state of my body lol.

Hi ladies hope it's not too late to join. Due to test on Sunday if I can wait that long. TTC no2 . No periods since before I had my baby due to breast feeding but I caught ovulation this month on a cheapie and a clear blue so presuming I'm in with a chance. Don't know whether to expect a period or not though I'll be 13/14dpo on Sunday
Good luck ladies x

I’ve woken up extra early from a weird dream and now I’m having to fight the edge to test! Aaaah!!!!
It’s going to be a long day!

@WonderCity... only four today 🙈🤣 honestly! I need POAS rehab!
I can’t believe I’m saying this but I’ve spent a bomb over the past week on the expensive tests.. I need to STOP! So. No more testing for me till Sunday morning. AF may obv come first!
I have 1 x FRER, 1 x CB Digi and a handful of cheapies left must not buy more !!!!

I will check in with you lovely ladies to see how you are getting on that are still waiting to see particularly... oh I have my fingers crossed for you I really do.

I did some research today on why I might feel sooo preggo and still be BFN, and although it’s still early testing, having read posts dating back to 2008 with ladies claiming similar - I’ve decided it’s in my head and I’m nuts!
So some days off the peeing and let’s see what happens.

You lot are amazing.

Keep the updates coming

I had cramps this morning but they've completely gone.

@WonderCity no AF yet. No cramps or anything yet. It's due tomorrow. Fully expecting it though.

@WonderCity I'm good, think I've given up at this stage (which is good!!!!! As I can think about something else for two mins)

Just want AF to arrive and let me off the hook at this point. Similar digestion/gas/heavy feeling here but boob pain completely non existent.

I'm hoping I can hold off now til at least Sunday when AF is due, if only to save the tests!!

How are you feeling?

@GCB1234 I have my fingers crossed for you. How many tests have you done today? Lol I can’t believe I resisted. I’m almost mad at the tests for being negative all the time and am now shunning them. I’m clearly losing it.

Welcome @Coffeemum1! Good luck with your test tomorrow. I hope you get some good news in the next couple of days or so.

@TrixIrl how are you doing? I find the last couple of days before AF is due really stressful. Like just hurry up already. And @WrongendoftheSTIX how about you? Any sign of af tonight? I’ve got the odd cramp feeing but not that bad now. Bit bloated - It feels like there’s a rock in my womb. No spotting or any signs of af as such. No cm to talk about. I’ve noticed my stomach is a bit upset and sluggish. More towards slow digestion. I don’t know if I usually get all this before af and don’t really pay attention or if this is unusual. I guess I’m still clinging on to the slight hope that I have a late implanter. If Af isn’t here this time tomorrow I’ll be surprised though.

@HaresHoping I’m hooked on your charting. I might have to start. What’s your update??

Hi @Coffeemum1 Great to have you join the thread! Will eagerly await your updates!!! I wish I’d held off testing, I started too soon and find them like Pringles, once I start I just can’t stop. I don’t know my ov times or when af is due as not long had coil removed but going by dtd I can test up to 6th March which is 21 days after, which is crazy far away. I’m driving myself a bit bonkers here, I must be truthful! Have completely convinced myself I feel pregnant! All tests BFN so far. I have four children already so do know the feeling but also think I could have just completely lost my marbles in this whole TWW limbo land. Good luck to you !!!!

@Jaymar thanks ok first test tomorrow 🤞🏻 We wasn’t actively trying so I missed my period and 4 weeks pregnant both times. No symptoms just missed periods until around 15 weeks and then my all day sickness starts 🙈

Hi @Coffeemum1 I think the later the better but tomorrow might be a good day to start. Don’t be upset if it’s BFN though, it’s still early days! Can you remember any of your early pregnancy symptoms with your other two?

Hey I’ve been watching everyone from the sidelines. Hoping to get some advice I’m currently 9dpo and haven’t tested yet. When is the earliest I can test? I haven’t a clue what I’m doing and this will be number 3 🙈

BFN for me too ladies! Like... super negative, completely negative!
I will be testing every morning till AF I would love to have to will power to just wait for AF but don’t think it’s possible!
