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!

@carlsi6 hahaha I'm sure that did take the pressure off for a while but it won't be long before she's asking again🤣 my sister has 3 and just needs to sneeze and she'll get pregnant. 3 of my best friends are pregnant with their 2nd and 3rd and I'm just sitting here waiting patiently for my 1st🙄🤦‍♀️ do you take pre natal vits? I'm on pregnacare right now. Not feeling a huge difference yet. Feeling more tired than usual this week! Probs all the baby dancing with the partner🤣 xx

My god I've just read online that positives for 3/5 days can mean double ovulation increasing your chance of twins 😂🤣🤣 that would be a nice surprise!!

@Missnataliex im the oldest out of all of her children and she has been nagging for soooo long. My brother and his GF fell pregnant accidentally last year so Thats took the pressure of a bit 😂😂 xx

@ClarenceTheCat

I've tested this morning OPK is still saying peak again so I've took a pregnancy test and it's a BFN as expected.

Clearly my body is still getting used to hormones etc after coming off the pill. Only thing I can think of is it's trying to ovulate and has managed to yet. Really strange as my peak never lasts this long xx

Missnataliex · 06/05/2021 07:55

@carlsi6 I'm in the exact same boat as you! Only told 1 friend. I have an Italian mother so you can just imagine the questions 🤣🤣🤦‍♀️ xx

Missnataliex · 06/05/2021 07:54

@ClarenceTheCat

Welcome *@Missnataliex* ! How many dpo are you? :)
Roughly about 7 days DPO. I have been using the flo app to track my ovulation and hoping we're lucky on first try ..... I have a feeling it won't be that easy though 🤣 you? Xxx
bubs91 · 06/05/2021 00:11

Hi all, I hope you don't mind me joining. Looks like there are some promising tests above - congratulations!

I am 8DPO today but am yet to test. I used OPK's and preseed this cycle. I've been TTC for 10 months now so am massively fed up with the whole thing.

Planning to test on Saturday

carlsi6 · 05/05/2021 22:49

@Missnataliex I know how you feel I'm the same. I'm so relieved I've found this chat! Only one of my best friends know. I don't want to tell anyone else really because I think they'll be questioning me every week! It's nice to have others to talk to in the same situation xxx

carlsi6 · 05/05/2021 22:48

@ClarenceTheCat I don't know you know I feel like on the top one I can see something! It's not really very clear though. Try again tomorrow 🤞🏼🤞🏼

I know, I'm thinking that if my OPK tests positive in the morning again I'll do a pregnant test. I really don't think it's been long enough though and I'm pretty sure my last period was 100% a period and not an implantation bleed xx

ClarenceTheCat · 05/05/2021 22:32

Welcome @Missnataliex !
How many dpo are you? :)

Missnataliex · 05/05/2021 22:26

Also trying with first and going through the TWW. Thank goodness I've found others to talk too as I don't fancy broadcasting with family and friends that were trying 🤣 xxx

ClarenceTheCat · 05/05/2021 22:24

@carlsi6

I think I've got line eyes. I'm like can I actually see anything 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

@carlsi6
There's so many symptoms I'm spitting though! 🤦🏼‍♀️ I wish I wasn't so hyper vigilant!

That's really strange. Have you done a pregnancy test?
I'm sure I read somewhere that OPKs test positive if pregnant!

@ClarenceTheCat awww I'm gutted for you however don't give up hope yet. There's still time and it could be way too early. Maybe test at the weekend? 🤞🏼

Erm yeah so I genuinely don't know what's going on, tested when I got in from work at 6pm. It was even darker like 2 x darker than this morning 🥴 so it must be imminent - DTD again!! But that's not like me, normally I get a peak for a few hours and that's it. My boobs are absolutely killing too xx

ClarenceTheCat · 05/05/2021 20:55

@carlsi6

Not till Sunday/Monday! Still not entirely regular after being on the pill.
I'm really gutted about it! Had a feeling and then the test the other day with the faint line!
Kind of just need AF to come so I can try again!

Have you done more OPKs today? X

OP posts:
carlsi6 · 05/05/2021 07:36

@ClarenceTheCat oh I'm so sorry! When's AF due again?

Yeah we DTD, I was getting strong pains in right side last night, however literally just took another OPK, don't normally in the morning and it is darker than last night. I think that's deffo a positive as I've never had a line that dark. 😂🙈 never ending!! Xx

@Madeoftea
I tested again this morning although my FMU didn't seem very strong if you get me. I did drink over a litre through the night though 🤦🏼‍♀️
I used a clear blue digital - BFN
AND the cheapies. Got these:
Not sure if I can see a line today 😭

@carlsi6 hope you were successful last night 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

OP posts:
carlsi6 · 04/05/2021 19:03

@Madeoftea I'm laughing out loud because I'm clearly going to try twice now ... after football... the poor lad won't be able to walk tomorrow 😂😂

Madeoftea · 04/05/2021 18:51

@ClarenceTheCat I don't actually know if the clear blue was an early one or not, just a weeks one leftover from before my mc. I did the early clear blue line one first though and it came up before the time was up so I just thought I'd give it a shot anyway. I needed written proof!

I've been super tired for a few days and I feel like I'm going to fall asleep standing up which I guess makes sense now 😂

Are you testing again tomorrow??

@carlsi6 we hadn't DTD in over a week before my peak because I didn't get it until day 27! We did it twice that night and that was it... always a chance!

carlsi6 · 04/05/2021 18:39

@Awarsewolf I don't really get anything until I'm ovulating and them BAM.

@ClarenceTheCat hahaha they don't understand the efforts we go through! All they've got is one job 🤣 he's at football too so he will be winging his legs are sore when he gets in well tough mate!! 😭😂 xx

ClarenceTheCat · 04/05/2021 18:32

@carlsi6
That made me laugh so much - I was like that on my peak. I sat DH down and was like if you want to get me pregnant now is the time - like now 😂
I hope this time works! 💕

@Awarsewolf
Welcome! I've got loads so going to keep testing!
I don't really track CM - I can usually just tell... sorry! Not much use!

OP posts:
Awarsewolf · 04/05/2021 18:13

Hello everyone! I’m1 or 2dpo I think. Happy to join just for the chats!

Regarding CM, I don’t (ever) have a lot of discharge.. is anyone else like this? I came off the pill 2 months ago and sort of expected to feel a bit wetter.. but I am not really. I have some - I’m fairly convinced I has EWCM but having never tracked it, I’m not sure!

@ClarenceTheCat think you might get a more definitive answer to those lines/not lines tomorrow or Thursday!

Congratulations @Madeoftea!!

carlsi6 · 04/05/2021 17:46

Turns out I clearly didn't ovulate the other day. I've just tested again now and I'm at peak! My DH doesn't come home until 9pm I'm like can you come home now time is money 😂🤣

I think he thinks I've lost it! Xx

carlsi6 · 04/05/2021 14:11

Well it seems that my Body doesn't have a clue what it's doing!! Lord of EWCM again and Back to high but not peak. Luckily we DTD last night 🤞🏼

This is why I think I need to by a clear blue next month if no success as they're so unclear. Is it possible to have two surges?

TWW - 7/8th May
carlsi6 · 04/05/2021 10:36

@ClarenceTheCat well I'm keeping everything crossed for you. Yeh I think the FRER is just playing tricks on my eyes. Maybe try later tonight as it might have developed a bit by then.

So far for me AF rocks up at 9am exactly after day 25, (very specific!!?) so I think hopefully if I'm late I'd know straight away.

You girls are giving me serious positive vibes today! I'm going to do an OPK in a few hours just to make sure I deffo had my peak. I'm pretty positive I ovulated on Sunday though so I think I'm 2dpo 🤞🏼🤞🏼 xx
