TWW - 7/8th May

@ClarenceTheCat don't know whether I've
Got line eyes but I'm sure I can see something on the FRER too. Just very slightly 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 xx

Does AF come pretty spot on for you? If she hasn't come her then fingers crossed. Maybe leave until tomorrow and test again 🤞🏼🤞🏼 how exciting. Xx

I had an overwhelming urge to test this morning at 10dpo! Can't stop shaking.

@ClarenceTheCat I can see the lines on the IC's but not the FR because it's a bit blurry and dark 🤞

@ClarenceTheCat yeah I took one last night and it has gone pretty weak. So either I've already ovulated which isn't normal for me especially at day 11, or I'm going to have another peak this week! Luckily we have DTD a few times so 🤞🏼🤞🏼 We will see, I'll keep testing just to be sure!!

If not I guess technically I'm in my 2WW as AF is due 2 weeks today.

I know it's so hard not to look out for symptoms but the last few months has told me to really try not to! Every month I've had completely different symptoms and AF has come bang on time 🙈. Xx

@ClarenceTheCat I'm the same can't remember any symptoms I had before my last pregnancies. I only tested when I was a week late. Whereas with my mc I had early symptoms but maybe it was because I was more aware of them.

How's everyone's doing! Anybody tested yet? Xx

@ClarenceTheCat I haven't taken a test yet either, trying to hold out as long as I can. No symptoms at all but I might test in a few days to cushion the blow of AF.

Have you tested again? Symptom spotting?

@ClarenceTheCat not tested yet. Af not due till Sunday or Monday so going too hold off as long as possible .

@ClarenceTheCat hi!!

Well this is my ovulation test today (pretty much nearly peak I think?!) DTD this morning and will see if it gets darker later!! We will see then I suppose I'll be into my 2WW!!

How are you getting on? Have you tested yet or got any symptoms xx

@klm018 sorry about your mc and chemical. I'm in the middle of a long cycle after a mc too, it's so frustrating.

I hope we have a bfp on here soon 🤞

Hi I'm 7dpo no idea what cycle I'm on. Had a mc at 6 weeks I February followed by a Cp. My cycles are all messed up so I think af is due in a week but been had a random long cycle last month so who knows.

@ClarenceTheCat well... really weirdly I felt funny before. Had a teeny cramp and when I went to the toilet lots of egg white cm (sorry I know TMI) quickly took an OPK and it's quite dark but I wouldn't say peak. Could this mean I'm possibly ovulating this week so very early this month? Don't really know if that's a good thing as I'm only on cycle
Day 9 🤷‍♀️ ! Will keep tracking Xx

@Gnashaloulou welcome! I think you're pretty much on the same lines as me really. I came off the pill at around the same time. We started trying in January but to be honest I don't really count that as my body was still getting used to it I suppose!

I know exactly what you mean. I think in our heads I'm thinking I should DTD everyday. But it's exhausting LOL and I don't want it to become a chore. Hopefully every other day with a few extras in peak week should work! I'm keeping everything crossed for everyone this month xxx

@Madeoftea I think I will give it a few more months and maybe try opks if still not having much luck.

Ideally I wouldn't say no to dtd every couple of days throughout the whole of my cycle haha, covering all bases and all that...but unfortunately dp's sex drive isn't as high as mine and the last thing I want to do is make it feel like a chore to him. Strangely (or perhaps not) he always seems much more frisky during what I believe is my fertile time of the month. Possibly just a coincidence. I don't tell him when I think i'm most fertile as again, I don't want to put pressure on him. Maybe it has something to do with a deep subconscious basic primal instinct to procreate...and his male hormones can sniff it out???

At the moment I'm happy to just go with the flow. Came off the pill in December, but this is really only the second cycle we've actually said "right, if it happens it happens!!" So very early days. But I find myself feeling more and more impatient as the days go on. And my god there seem to be pregnant women and babies everywhere!!! I am so broody it is unreal. xx

@carlsi6 yes cheapie opks for me too. I use the easy@home ones and find them quite clear to read especially with the premom app. My peak can appear and then disappear in the space of 24 hours or so though and I almost missed this month where it was so late but we did manage to dtd a couple of times quickly. The clear blue seem easier but I can't bring myself to part with the cash!

@Gnashaloulou hi! I tried the relaxed approach for about 6 months and then I was getting so frustrated at nothing happening I went onto the opks. Turned out that my tracker apps were estimating ovulation a week earlier than it was actually happening for me. Your cycles are fairly short though so you have less time to cover, we were getting worn out! 😂 have you been trying for long?

Morning!! Can I join you ladies on the 2ww?

I am on CD13. Normally my cycles are around 24/25 days so according to the apps I use I am probably just past ovulation (although I am not tracking that as we are supposed to be taking the relaxed approach to ttc!!)

Planning to test around the 11th May as that will be when af due.

Not holding out much hope this month because we haven't been particularly active really . Dtd once a few mornings ago, but it only takes the one time or so they say haha.

Last month I must've spent a small fortune on pregnancy tests only for af to show up bang on time...so this time I won't test until the day she is due if still no sign of her. I usually have spotting a couple of days before so I kinda know if she's on her way...but then spotting could also be a sign of implantation bleeding so I will take that with a pinch of salt.

Good luck all! Lots of babydust xx

@Madeoftea yeah I was surprised as they've been all over the place the last ten years!!

Yeah I've been using OPKS. Just the cheapies, I'm tempted to buy a clear blue if we have no luck this month as theyre quite hard to read sometimes. I've definitely been getting strong surges (hopefully what I think have been peak) in my week of ovulation, I can usually tell as well; slight dull pain & loads of egg white CM. But if nothing this month deffo think I'll get a clear blue! What about you? Xx
