Lucky October? 🍀

It seems AF is coming to get me end of this week (Fri), so instead of feeling sorry for myself I’m trying to look forward to October and getting to try again! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Anyone else with me?

@Firsttimetrier il be testing around the 19th 20th if I can hold out will be 14dpo

Firsttimetrier · 11/10/2021 17:36

I’m really excited to see how the next two weeks play out for us all. All our cycles seem to be within a couple of days of each other, I think?

What dates will everyone be testing? And how many days DPO will you be?

If I can hold out, I’ll be testing on 26th Oct and will be roughly DPO14/15 (day AF is due).

Elsols93 · 11/10/2021 17:31

@SammiStap omg so close! I would of had to test when is AF due?

SammiStap · 11/10/2021 17:27

@Elsols93 13dpo today 😀
Just a quickie before work haha I love it! We arnt romantic either!

@Danani it’s hard to remember!
I’m good at resisting, or getting better should I say! Trouble is I look at the loo roll every time I see now just to check! It’s so agonising !

@SammiStap I’m the same, I feel the need to apologize in advance that I don’t remember when everyone is up to (CD / DPO - wise) and keep asking the same questions 😁🙈😂

You resist the urge to test!!! Hopefully the spotting is nothing AF related! Which btw, apparently happens a lot in early pregnancy too!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Squiff70, I know right?? We have some proper champions in here! 😂 Hopefully all the hard work pays off LOL! 🤞🏻🍀

Elsols93 · 11/10/2021 17:16

@SammiStap glad we all In This together my partner thinks I’m crazy for just scrolling g through loss of threads 😂 how many dpo are you?

@Squiff70 Nothing overly romantic just a quickie before work sorry if tmi 😂😂

Squiff70 · 11/10/2021 17:10

All you ladies DTD every day for a week or more, I salute you and your stamina

Oh boy, the next two weeks on this thread are going to be interesting!

SammiStap · 11/10/2021 17:08

Hello @Elsols93! This is a fab thread to be on!
Although I struggle to keep up with where everyone is in their cycle! 🙈 I can only apologise everyone 😘

God I have the massive urge to test all of a sudden, just hits you! But thy shall resist! I do hope this brown spotty stuff isn’t af on her way though.

@positiveovernegative I haven’t had any symptoms either but I’ve been trying to ignore the things I’m feeling and tell myself it’s normal bodily functions 😂 apart from the cramping today and bits of spotting I’ve had nothing, but when I was pregnant earlier in the year I didn’t know until I was a week late, then BAM! Sore boobs, fatigue! Sadly ended in mmc in July so…
Fingers crossed! 🍀

Elsols93 · 11/10/2021 16:55

Wow, @Elsols93, welcome! 👋

I’m personally very very impressed with the effort- to read all of the pages on this thread, and to DTD every👏🏻 single 👏🏻 day 👏🏻 😄

Hopefully it’s your month and you hit us up with good news!! 🍀🤞🏻

Elsols93 · 11/10/2021 16:37

Hi everyone just read through 27 pages haha
I’m TTS #2 cycle 2 and currently 5dpo god never thought I would get so obsessive over it DS was a Suprise and is currently 2.5years old so would like another sibling soon! hopefully this could be our month been using OPKs and have DTD everyday since CD12 !! Good luck to everyone xxxx

Effram · 11/10/2021 16:32

@positiveovernegative I had zero symptoms with my first pregnancy basically until I felt him kick.... even when I had a bump I could barely believe it just thought it was bloat! symptoms mean nothing. I've everything crossed for you!

Cruz86 · 11/10/2021 16:23

Positive thoughts for you @positiveovernegative and @SammiStap!

Danani · 11/10/2021 15:34

Thanks for the reassurance, friends! God it’s so wonderful to have such a group of supportive women who are going through the exact same thing! ❤️

Hey now @positiveovernegative, I don’t want any negative vibes! 😊 So exciting for you that you’re at the end of the TWW! Also, contrary to everyone on this forum, where people seem to have pregnancy symptoms from 1 DPO, it is very very very common to not have ANY until like…6 weeks pregnant! Totally do not feel down or count yourself out due to lack of “symptoms”! Also, for what it’s worth, 12 DPO can still be early to detect pregnancy, if you implanted late. Even IF it is a BFN, (and I really have everything crossed it won’t be!), you could still be pregnant. I hope you get a BFP tomorrow morning, lovey, just don’t beat yourself up if it’s not. You literally never know unless AF arrives! Chin up, buttercup! 🤞🏻🍀

positiveovernegative · 11/10/2021 15:26

Testing in the morning 12dpo. Had absolutely zero symptoms so looking very unlikely despite that will still be ultra disappointed seeing another BFN

SammiStap · 11/10/2021 15:13

Hello @Yayay30!

So I got some more spotting today, light brown discharge in my underware. Nothing really when I wiped. Bit crampy today, bet af on her way.

lemons44 · 11/10/2021 14:56

@Danani no worries I remember how confused I found it when I first started temping!

I can't talk for all apps but FF will only put the crosshairs in once ovulation has been confirmed by 3 x temp rises. I don't think Premom takes temp into account at all x

Firsttimetrier · 11/10/2021 14:51

Welcome @Yayay30

I’m dreading the TWW as my husband is away during the prime testing period for 4 days.

If I do a test during the time he’s away, there’s no way I’ll be able to keep it to myself until he’s back!

Mummytobe93 · 11/10/2021 14:42

Sorry didn’t finish the message- but I trust OPKs and CM over BBT at this point knowing how off my sleep pattern is…. It’s stressful isn’t it 😅

Mummytobe93 · 11/10/2021 14:34

My criss cross line only showed up yesterday after I’ve logged third temperature in a row that was higher

Cruz86 · 11/10/2021 14:21

I'd say ignore the anomaly and go with the other apps @Danani! Sounds like they're all pretty similar!

Danani · 11/10/2021 14:10

@lemons44 thanks so much for the advice and the website!!! Super helpful!

Weirdly my FF app is now the only one that is out of whack and is also the one I find the hardest to use, don’t ask me why, we just don’t gel well!

Based on OPKs and (adjusted) BBT all of my apps - Flo, Premom and Femometer are in agreement that O was on Sat. All but FF, which isn’t showing me those criss cross lines…unless they show up later? 👀🤷🏻‍♀️

Yayay30 · 11/10/2021 13:58

Hi everyone…. First ever cycle of TTC, can I join in?

Currently on CD 9, and based on previous OPK results I expect to ovulate at some point in the next three days.

Dtd as often as we can this week and praying for the best!

No idea how I am going to be patient enough to wait two weeks to test haha!

Cruz86 · 11/10/2021 13:55

Hahaha we have literally done it the same amount of times in the same time frame!!! Are you going to carry on til Wednesday @Firsttimetrier? I'm actually really crampy today so think today may be the day 🤞🏻
