Testing this week/tww 18th- 26th October

@chloeannw I’m in the same boat. It’s so hard being first cycle off birth control. You open the apps to track and it’s like what’s your cycle? Idk how long is a piece of string 🤷‍♀️. There’s very little to go off. I’m getting weird symptoms but I just don’t know. I have a daughter but it was an unplanned pregnancy and we didn’t know until sickness at week 6. This is week 3 so I’m really wondering if it’s the birth control come down. Good luck to you this month! 🤞

13dpo and nothing but BFN’s but feel really nauseous tonight.. xx

Hi,
I'm 5 dpo!
This is cycle 1 of ttc 1st baby.
It might be all in my head but I've been vomiting/feeling nauseous since 2:30 this morning and my boobs feel really tender. I know my body may just be settling after coming off contraception but I feel very odd.

Nausea is back today 7dpo plus backache and cramps (I’ve had both since ovulation) and now a stuffy nose but weirdly not a cold. I really want to be BFP but I’ve never felt like this before ever. My husband is convinced we are BFP which makes me feel more nervous. He’s taken to joking it’s twins 🤦‍♀️

@MrsBridge congratulations! Amazing news

@MrsBridge congratulations!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Wow @MrsBridge that’s a very strong line!!!

Wow 11 dpo😁 After 2 years and 3 miscarriages 🤞

Sorry, I do sound grumpy don’t I! It’s been a tough couple of weeks at work and this weather isn’t helping.

Morning all 6DPO today and haven’t noticed any symptoms, mind you I am so sure it won’t happen this month that I haven’t really been looking for them anyway! I have noticed some tiny little whiteheads scattered over my décolletage, which is usually what happens before a period. But at 6DPO would my body even know there was a fertilised egg yet? Who knows. I didn’t get them last month (chemical pregnancy).

Will test on Saturday but won’t be wasting a FRER

Good luck everyone

Hi,
I'm currently on TWW, should be testing Sunday although might try and hold on a day or two if I can! First cycle trying to conceive baby number 1 :)

@whymewhyme wishing you all the best. Thinking I will start testing this Saturday at 9/10dpo

@Lovexoxo I have some awful period type cramps. I think I had them when I was pregnant with my DS but can’t remember if they felt the same as this. Lots of cramps but with the pressure sensation I get before my period.

@Lovexoxo I also have cramps, backache and some nausea that seems to be getting stronger. When I had our first baby I had no symptoms until week 6, but then I was a train wreck, so trying to not read into it, but failing miserably! Hope it’s the real deal for everyone here

[quote Yayay30]@whymewhyme I am due AF the day before you… This wait is killing me! Have you been trying long?[/quote]
14 months baby number 2 with a mc inbetween. Let me know how you get on,sending baby dust your way

Has anyone else been experiencing cramps - kind of feels like a dull period ache crossed with constipation feeling, had it about a week now and also noticed I feel really wet down there (sorry for tmi!) x

@whymewhyme I am due AF the day before you… This wait is killing me! Have you been trying long?

Can I join! 10 dpo AF due on sat. I’m going to test on thurs if no spotting by then.

Can i join!!! Af due 29th DTD a few times while ovulating. I will wait for AF to arrive before i test. I'm about 4dpo and i feel abit periody

@madeleine85 that’s interesting, I’m in the uk so not sure if it’s available but I’ll look into it if unsuccessful this month!
@Peonies94 thanks so much 🤗

@Moonshine160 basically the LH tests check that you are producing the hormone that helps you ovulate, then 5-10 days after you ovulate your body produces progesterone if you actually did ovulate as opposed to just having the LH. If you are pregnant the progesterone stays high throughout pregnancy, and after day 12 or so the HCG should be high and can confirm that you are a BFP. The test is called Proov, caveating that i'm a Brit who lives in the US so i'm not sure it is available at home. I think it just gave me another aspect to stress over for 5 days. This is my first time testing so I didn't buy it in time to do the baseline test pre ovulation, you're meant to test first thing in the morning with 6+ hours no peeing, which I didn't do as I had to get up in the middle of the night, and the reviews are hit/miss. I think i'm just clinging to anything. The strips said that one line is positive for the hormone, which I had, but then I plugged it into the app and it said it was low so i'm thinking that purchase might have been a bad idea, even if it did confirm successful ovulation. This 6 day count to next Monday is going to be fun haha.
