New to the TWW - with my first it was a semi unplanned pregnancy so didn't experience this!
Anybody else around a similar time? (I think I'm around 5 dpo at the moment)
This is my second cycle but didn't properly go for it last month. Counting down the days until I can test!

@L1ttleb1t sounds promising! I normally get really strong symptoms and normally ovulate day 13/14. Slight pains, and loads of EWCM. Fingers crossed this month is our month xx

L1ttleb1t · 08/05/2021 20:33

@carlsi6 Yeah I drink too much tea which confuses things. Next cycle I'll be more careful to drink less and hold off going to the loo! I had really strong ovulation symptoms though. I'm due on the 17th according to my tracker app...

carlsi6 · 08/05/2021 20:03

@L1ttleb1t hi! Of course. I'm only a few days behind you 2/3 DPO can't be 100% certain.

The OPKS can be quite confusing but I've found if you do them a couple times a day they start to make more sense. Try and make sure your pee isn't too diluted too.

When is your period due? I'm due on the 17th so we will see. X

L1ttleb1t · 08/05/2021 19:42

Hi ladies. Can I join? 5 dpo (I think) and trying for 2nd child. Trying to be realistic about how long this could take - it's our first month of trying, so I'm trying to get my head around opk's etc but also trying not to obsess about it. Is everyone waiting for the expected period date before doing a pregnancy test? I know I should. I remember being just this impatient during the tww with my first.

carlsi6 · 08/05/2021 12:13

Well I'm 3DPO today and I have slight cramping pulling and a dull ache in my lower back, I'm not going to get excited though as I feel like that's far too early for any symptoms and egg won't have even implanted yet.

Has anyone else experienced similar and got their BFP? Xx

bethabean · 08/05/2021 09:33

Congratulations @klm018 !!! Xx

carlsi6 · 07/05/2021 22:18

@klm018 haha I see! It looks good though. Well deffo re test tomorrow and hopefully you'll have a nice progressing line. Keep us up to date!! Xx

klm018 · 07/05/2021 22:03

@carlsi6p I'm around 12dpo all my apps are different as my cycles have been all over the place. I only used the ring so camera would focus 😀

carlsi6 · 07/05/2021 21:24

@klm018

Tested today and got this result. I've had a mc and cp recently so feeling nervous.
Ps @klm018 love the picture with the ring around it! That's gorgeous such a nice touch xx
carlsi6 · 07/05/2021 21:22

@klm018 congrats!! That's looking a very strong positive, how many DPO are you??

@Missnataliex ah I see, try again tomorrow and fingers crossed you'll see a line!! AF is due on the 17th for me. I'm only 1/2DPO I can't say for sure but I'm cramping which is odd. Think that would be too early for anything though so no idea xx

Missnataliex · 07/05/2021 19:22

@klm018 CONGRATULATIONS 🎉❤️ xxxx

It wasn't there yesterday though that's the thing. Our bodies are strange🤣 I'm the between 12-15th May! Xxx

carlsi6 · 07/05/2021 13:09

@Missnataliex hard to say, mine is pretty much there all month I just get a higher peak or positive around ovulation! When is AF due? I would wait another couple days if possible xx

Missnataliex · 07/05/2021 12:42

Roughly 8 days DPO..... slight cramping (thinking PMT cramps but can't be sure) negative HPT (too early possibly) but did an ovulation test as slight cramping around pelvic area and slight positive. Has anyone had this so far post ovulation? Xxx

carlsi6 · 07/05/2021 09:29

Well girls my OPKS are finally starting to fade thank god! Only thing now is it's literally only 10 days until AF is due. So don't think my luteal phase is long enough 😭🤞🏼 I'll keep everything crossed. I'm assuming today I am 1DPO then.

Any news with anyone else? Xx

carlsi6 · 06/05/2021 20:17

@bethabean don't worry lovely, I have a feeling I'll be here next month too but thats ok! Slow and steady wins the race eh xx

bethabean · 06/05/2021 20:07

@carlsi6 no, no symptoms and I just did a test and it was negativeSadI couldn't resist! Need to stop getting my hopes up and remember this is my first month ttc! Wishing you all the luck :)

carlsi6 · 06/05/2021 19:18

@bethabean welcome!! How exciting, have you had any symptoms xx

bethabean · 06/05/2021 18:51

Hi, hope it's okay for me to join! I'm in my first month of ttc and am 3 days off my expected AF. Good luck to everyone and congratulations to those with already positive tests! X

Missnataliex · 06/05/2021 18:35

@ClarenceTheCat I'm still 7 days out and took a test today ... far too early don't know what possessed me🤣 OH would not be happy that I tested without him but my god the temptation was too much! That photo ...... I can see the line at the left hand side but it's white .... still hope? The brown spotting could be implantation! Fingers crossed for us!!!!! Xxx

ClarenceTheCat · 06/05/2021 16:59

@carlsi6 that sounds exciting! Double the chances too!
Coming off the pill Is rubbish isn't it! I hope things settle down - at least then you'd know where you stand.

@Missnataliex I'm using Flo too - it says I'm still three days out from period.

I've just been to toilet and had brown spotting - not normal for me but I assume I'm out! 😭 need AF to hurry up so I can try again.
I took this test though and my brain is still trying to say there is something there 🤦🏼‍♀️
I've definitely got a problem!

@Missnataliex to be honest I don't even know what my body is even doing or where I'm at with it. Took another OPK about a hour ago and it's still showing as positive so I'm baffled. I've read I may be having a double ovulation but even more confused as AF is due in 11 days so
I don't even know if that would be enough time?! It's all very confusing. I'm getting major pain in both left and right sides though normally it's localised to one side so I do think I genuinely could be double ovulating!! Going to DTD later again just to be sure.

If we have no luck this month I'm going to get some more vitamins for next cycle xx

Missnataliex · 06/05/2021 15:00

@carlsi6 hahaha oh using the grandma card. That's rough. I'm taking the prenagare conception that contains folic acid, Inositol, vitamin D & B 12 & CoQ10! I don't drink a lot either and eat healthy and workout. Have you been experiencing any symptoms during your TWW? xxx

carlsi6 · 06/05/2021 14:54

@Missnataliex ... well they just came to see me and my mum was like your grandma has been asking when you're going to have babies ... I guess that was short lived 😂😂😂

At the moment all I take is folic acid, iron & vitamin D. I have cut my alcoholic & caffeine consumption down quite a bit too xx what about you?
