Hi, anyone else starting their 2ww?
I'm currently at 4dpo. Searching all over the internet for best time to test, anyone had any luck with super early positives?

This is my 4th cycle trying to conceive, and I've symptom spotted every time, and taken really early tests.

Hoping this is my month! 🤞🏻

Aww im so sorry @victoria5895 hopefully this will be your month 🤞
Aww yeah ok this is our first month ttc so i cant really complain, we lost our last baby at 13w last year so quite anxious about it all.
How are you finding the clear blue?
Ive been using them and turns out i ovulate a week later than i thought.

victoria5895 · 12/05/2021 09:28

Hey @Loz2021 how are you feeling?

My period ended up coming 4 days late! I feel like I definitely need to up my game on tracking ovulation etc. So we're giving the clearblue tracker things a go this month.

Hi,
Sorry to jump in, just reading through this and was wondering how you got on
@victoria5895 ?
Im 6 dpo and its driving me nutts, especially cause i think i can feel my period on its way (due on monday)

victoria5895 · 04/05/2021 09:45

I tested again yesterday and it was negative! No sign of my period, which is due today so back into the waiting game now.

How is everyone feeling? Any positives? X

Thanks! I’m at the stage where i over-analyse everything

@wanderlove I use them and do find them helpful, especially if your not 100% sure on ovulation timing. I find the digital much better as I tend to struggle a bit with analysing the tests... but I think the cheap ones are fine too

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 29/04/2021 11:05

I don't know if it signifies anything, I looked back at my logs and last month it was sticky, but the month before it was creamy, so I'm at a loss!

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 29/04/2021 11:04

Hello @WaitingForEgg. I don't know if it is a thing. I have the Flo app and had quite a bit of thicker creamy discharge after ovulation and for about a week after, logged it, and they said creamy or sticky is perfectly normal for luteal phase.

Cycle 9 TTC number 2

I got my peak on 22nd April so think I ovulated 22nd or 23rd. This is my first month temping too. I also had my corrected 21 day bloods done today (I have longer cycles, about 31-35 days which makes each month seem like a year)

Does anyone know if thicker discharge post ovulation is a thing? Yesterday I got a lot of thick discharge randomly. I don’t usually get this. No idea if it signifies anything...

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 29/04/2021 10:05

I think that’s just because I’m trying not to advertise that I’m trying to everyone, especially at work lunches and dinners. It’s amazing how long I can eke put a glass of wine though 😂

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 29/04/2021 10:04

@victoria5895 to be away will be so nice! It’s hard to know what to do about drinking when you’ve been trying for a while isn’t it? I compromise, I have a few glasses of wine but very spaced out with lots of water inbetween. People don’t seem to notice then.

victoria5895 · 29/04/2021 10:02

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 no I haven't done anymore. I have one first response left from last month so I'm going to save that until my period is due on the 4th.
We're away with couples this weekend so hopefully that will distract me. I'm slightly paranoid about drinking this weekend, it seems silly to not allow myself drink as I may not even be pregnant but I know I would feel awful if it turns out I am on Monday.

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 29/04/2021 08:10

@victoria5895 definitely too early! Have you tested since? I’m 8dpo, so waiting until Sunday or Monday hopefully!

victoria5895 · 27/04/2021 20:45

I couldn't help myself and used a cheap internet test. It was negative, so hoping it's just too early!

How are you all feeling?

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 27/04/2021 18:15

@wanderlove really sorry about two losses, that must have been awful.

I am currently using the Clearblue Digital pink ones (just a blank zero or a smiley, no flashing smileys) they have 20 in a box and are cheaper than the flashing ones and last 2-3 cycles. I'm also doing bbt, which is very cheap, and easy - a lot easier than I thought. Turns out my ewcm comes quite a few days before I ovulate, so if I'd have gone off that only I'd be missing it

wanderlove · 27/04/2021 17:36

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7
Sorry to hear about your loss. I have had two miscarriages and it is really tough. You can't take anything for granted even when you get a positive test, I think it really changed your experience of early pregnancy

My AF arrived. I'm thinking of getting some ovulation tests for next month as with my cycle being all over who knows when I ovulate. Anyone else use them or recommend one? Am I best with cheap Amazon ones or the digital ones?

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 27/04/2021 08:48

Morning, 6dpo here, hate this point of the cycle 🙈 Fell pregnant in Aug on our first month, was all over in October, periods didn’t really come back properly until Dec and haven’t had a positive since! Anyone else find they really obsess in the week before period is due?

wanderlove · 26/04/2021 17:42

@Arghlife yes I was tracking and the last cycle was 21 and the one before 28 days so no idea what all that means. I'm trying to not put too much hope in being a day later then last cycle but it's so hard! I'll test once I'm late for a 28 day cycle .

Delight12 · 26/04/2021 12:05

@Arghlife congratulations to you, I'm patiently waiting to test but getting really bad cramps so I'm probably out this month.

Arghlife · 26/04/2021 11:45

@wanderlove no different symptoms other than my spots that I usually get before a period seemed slightly worse and more concentrated around my chin 🙄 other than that, nothing. I nearly didn't bother testing this morning. Trying not to get excited but it's my first ever positive. We're you tracking your cycle for ovulation? Must be frustrating if your cycles range that much In days x

wanderlove · 26/04/2021 11:40

@arghlife
Wow congratulations!! Let's hope it is a lucky thread. Did you have any symptoms they made you think it might be positive. My period is now officially one day late if I go by 21 day cycle. But not late at all on a 28 day cycle; in fact 6 days to go. I have a test in the cupboard so may do it in thr morning. Not sure whether to wait as even if it is negative I don't know if I'll trust it and keep doubting as it may be too early

victoria5895 · 26/04/2021 10:37

@Arghlife congratulations!! That's so exciting!

I'm at 7dpo now. I've had to lock my test away so I won't take any until at least Friday.

MamatoEsme · 26/04/2021 10:10

Can I get in on this. 10DPO for me today. Tested this morning and BFN. I had a "chemical" in Feb/March (I say chemical as that's what the midwife classed it as, as have positive tests for over 2 weeks but scan at 8 weeks showed nothing and BFN on tests but didn't bleed until a week after my second missed period) but I didn't get my first vvvv faint positive with that one until 12dpo. :(

Arghlife · 26/04/2021 10:07

Af due tomorrow, looks like a positive 😬 hope it sticks

Two Week Wait!
wanderlove · 25/04/2021 10:09

At due today and definitely feel big boobs and boggles cramps so not holding out much hope.

ChickenNuggetRose · 24/04/2021 14:56
