TWW - 7/8th May

@carlsi6 that's good that your cycles are settling down quickly! 25 days seems nice too, mine when normal are usually 33-34.

Are you ladies using opks to track?

I'm being good and sticking to no testing but honestly I think its because I don't believe there's any way it's happened this month.

@ClarenceTheCat yeh I know it's so hard! I'm going to try not to test or symptom spot this month because it gets exhausting and when AF comes it sucks!! I've been normally testing around 8/9 DPO getting bfns obviously and thinking there's still hope! So I think I really need to just wait until AF is due. Every month so far I've had really sore boobs, but it's just been AF due. This month was so weird though, I had literally NO symptoms not even cramp?! Apparently that's a sign of my hormones settling down 🤷‍♀️

The only thing that's really shocked me is I was on the pill for 14 years, and I didn't expect my cycles to return so quickly. But they seem to be running like clockwork, 25 day cycle and AF pretty much shows up at 9am everytime so hopefully I'll know if it late!!

@Madeoftea haha there will be deffo lots of jumping this week! I think the past few weeks we haven't really tried straight away and just more focused around the week of ovulation but that may be where I'm going wrong who knows! This month we've gone for it from point one of AF ending so I'm keeping everything crossed. Xxx

@ClarenceTheCat so far the only thing I've noticed is that I'm super irritable and moody and I'm craving junk food constantly. But that could also be pre period hormones so who knows! Last time my boobs were so sore I could hardly touch them but I'm trying not to compare because I know every pregnancy can be different.

I'm stocked up on the cheapies too!

Hi @carlsi6 sounds like a good time to start jumping on your OH haha. I think I always assumed it would take a while for me based on others experiences but I was still massively bummed every time AF turned up.

@ClarenceTheCat 👋 hello. I'm around 6 DPO atm. This is my first cycle TTC #1. I was so ridiculously impatient I tested today 😂 obviously BFN. Counting down the days too. Have you thought about when you will do your first test?

@Madeoftea sorry to hear about your MC in Feb. Let's hope this is your lucky cycle 🍀

I might test again 8DPO - am I mad?

Hi Both!

Im on my fourth cycle, this will be our 1st baby! I'm currently on cycle day 8 and normally ovulate around 14/15 so I've got a little while yet!

Definitely thought it would happen really quick but I think everyone seems to think that, so trying not to get disheartened. sending you both baby dust! Xx

🙋‍♀️ Also 5dpo! I'm not new to the TWW as we've been trying over a year for our first, but we had MC in Feb and its messed up my cycles so it almost feels like starting over again. This my first proper cycle since and I'm on day 33 but only 5dpo!

When do you plan on testing? I might test around 9/10 dpo but I'm going to try and hold out as long as possible.
