Hey so last month tcc was horrendous! False positive, evap lines and my usual 31 day cycle decided I'd have a 49 day cycle 😱 So completely messed with my emotions. Anyway day 1 today who else is starting the wait?

@Mummylucy11

I'm so confused! My opks are still getting darker, this is today's one I thought I'd be 6/7 dpo but apparently not. My body is doing everything it can not to conceive!
That looks like a very positive ovulation test! Mine are never this dark 😆 even when I have ewcm and I know I'm ovulating I don't get the lines this positive. The control and test line are the same but never this dark. 😆

@Mummylucy11 has this ever happened before? X

Frandler · 13/07/2021 17:57

@Mummylucy11 yeah I've read that too so thats why I asked if you'd done a pregnancy test, but I have no idea about line progression. Whatever it's picking up, it's getting stronger! I completely understand about saving the FRER! 👍 id def get cheapies just to see where you stand 🤞x.

No I only have a FRER and don't want to waste it! I think I might get some cheapies tomorrow. I read that's a thing if you get a positive on a opk after ovulation it might mean pregnancy but it's going up steadily. Would it not just be positive every day? X

Sorry I meant solid smiley CD20 on the second test of the day….. got my solid/flashings the wrong way round! Blush

Bluebell88 · 13/07/2021 14:21

Hello,

Can I join the TWW? This is my first time posting but I’ve been reading across the topics to ease my sanity.

I think I’m 5dpo, this is cycle 5 ttc but first month using clear blue advanced opk.

I have been tracking my cycles with an app for years, my app suggested I should have ovulated on CD18 but I didn’t get the flashing smiley until CD20! Almost made myself crazy thinking that flashing smiley was never going to appear! I had a solid smiley with FMU on CD20 but about lunch time something told me to test again and I got that flashing face! So majorly got my hopes up this month that bfn in previous months is due to thinking I’d ovulated earlier than I actually did and I’m symptom spotting like crazy.

Sore/dry throat appeared 2/3dpo and still sniffly with a dry cough (COVID test negative) - is this a good sign? Anyone else had similar? I’ve had some mild cramping and feeling pretty tired but I’ve felt like that other months too…..

My cycle ranges from 30-32 days which would make AF due 10-12dpo - I’m going to try my hardest to wait until 10dpo to test if AF doesn’t arrive but it’s so difficult.

Wishing you all lots of luck!

Hi @fireflies9

I know what you mean about the sticky-out nipples 🤣 mine are usually normal but at the moment they're acting like it's winter! 😅

I'm so tempted to test, but I'm scared that nothing will show up. I'm going to wait til Friday earliest to test with a FRER but I'm working early shifts so I may have to hold out until Monday. I guess time will tell!

Let me know how you get on 😊 and fingers crossed for good results for us both 🤞x

fireflies9 · 13/07/2021 12:11

@Frandler Hi, I'm 8dpo too today, mild cramping, feeling very unmotivated & tired. Also a really weird one but usually my nipples are almost inverted in the TWW but the past few days they've been normal and sticking out if that makes sense, not sore though 😅 Boobs are tender but that's normal for me every month!

Keep getting vvvfl on cheapies not sure if they're evaps. Not testing on a FRER until Friday at least since I ovulated early I'm only CD19!

At least we'll be in the same boat at the weekend! X

Frandler · 13/07/2021 11:35

Hi everyone!

How is everyone doing with their TWW?

I'm on about 8dpo, and I've resisted the urge to test. Which is surprising for me!

I hate that I'm always looking for symptoms 😣 I just can't help myself and worried that I'm fooling myself into feeling a certain way!

I'm going to try and hold out until the weekend, but I'm feeling really heacachey, a few mild twinges in my lower abdomen, really sore nipples and generally exhausted! Anyone else experiencing possible symptoms?

Loads of luck to you all ✨

@Mummylucy11 Thank you, will be 9/10dpo on Wednesday so might do another cheapie then and if it's still the same I'll get an FRER x

Mummylucy11 · 12/07/2021 11:08

I think I see something try a FRER on 10 or even 12 dpo I personally think anything under that is unreliable x

I know it's way too early to test if I'm 5dpo but going by 7/8dpo does this look like a line? It's verryyy faint but I think I can see something.

1 DPO Anyone want to wait with me?
fireflies9 · 12/07/2021 10:07

Hi everyone can I join? I'm 7/8dpo today going by EWCM but according to my Flo app I'd be 5dpo today so not really too sure! I'm CD18.

When would you say is too early to test?

@ffiffi123 have you tried taking extra vitamin b6? I started it this month and meant to help increase progesterone and balance your hormones x
