Anyone else on TTW. I'd love cycle buddies!

I'm on fertile week and don't do opks regularly but just wanting to make new friends who are in the same boat as me!💜

@StaryEyes1978 just think your not out till it's here! I'm on another thread and it took someone to 12dpo to get a positive!

Think I am out for this month ladies. AF due tomorrow and have just done FRER. BFN. ☹️

Weirdly have no pre period symptoms though! Normally get crappy but nothing this month.

Best of luck everyone. Fingers crossed next month is the one for me.

@HeyBlaby don't worry I tested on 6dpo.

I think I'm on 7dpo? Maybe!? Had some sticky cm all week not heavy though and on the odd occasion feel very wet down there like watery cm. Tonight just been toilet and it's like EwCM maybe slightly thinner. Feel like that's a good sign. I hope so anyway

Frer, it won't even pick up on my (shocking) camera I don't think. Going to re-test tomorrow morning (with probably the same result Hmm)

20viona · 28/10/2021 15:40

@HeyBlaby 😬😬😬 what sort of test did you use? Do you have a pic?

HeyBlaby · 28/10/2021 15:23

Which idiot tested at 8dpo...me. could swear there was a very faint line, but maybe that's wishful thinking. Why do we do this!? Blush

20viona · 28/10/2021 15:01

6DPO here today and watching TTC Success stories on YouTube obsessed or what! My toddler has been a dream
Which is few and far between at the moment so enjoying a quiet day :)

How are we doing?

@Bex7290 positive thinking! Yeah I'm like squinting and he's like stop it's negative!!!

@apwilso I’ll test again tomorrow morning before OH goes to work (he wants to be there for the result). He doesn’t look properly though 😂 he takes a one second glance then goes “nope”!
I feel like it is going to end up negative this month but you never know!

@Bex7290 that's exciting!! Fingers crossed for you. When will you be testing again?x

@lulu0507 Ive heard a cold is a good sign too! Assuming I need to try again, defo taking that approach! I think I’d defo work more on stress relief for sure throughout the cycle, I saw recently that when stressed, the body will “shut down” the reproductive system first as its not really required to survive, can defo see why working on stress management is crucial!

@apwilso I’ve heard so many people say they were shattered leading up to their bfp! It wont be long to find out now!

Tested this morning, initially looked like a bfn but I’ve convinced myself I can see the faintest second hairline mark. I mean so faint that the camera can’t pick it up, OH says he can’t see it either. Yesterday’s test is undoubtedly negative but todays I’m sure I can see the faintest line. It’s probably an indentation line or something but only time will tell.

@lulu0507 I hope your okay! Apparently a cold can indicate pregnancy so hopefully it's a good symptom!? Best way to be. I'm also on 6dpo I think (I don't track) I've got some cramping, woke up dry throat and shattered. I'm trying not to get stressed in work etc so same as you!

lulu0507 · 27/10/2021 15:24

How is everyone today? I'm currently 6dpo with a horrible cold.

This month I won't be testing till at least 12 DPO as recommended.

I saw a post on when ttc, stress on the body may not allow a pregnancy or can affect hormones, so instead of being stressed from the tww, I will be trying to release my happy hormones, oxtoxin hormones especially😊

What DPO are you all currently at and when do you plan to test?😊

I'm on day 6dpo maybe?! Feeling a bit off feeling hopeful but feel like I always get let down 😞

OP posts:
Bex7290 · 27/10/2021 07:40

@20viona fingers crossed for you! TTW is torture!!
I had dreams of a positive result last night so I tested this morning but it was a bfn 😭
Slowly accepting that I’m out this month!

20viona · 27/10/2021 07:16

@Bex7290 I like first response and then a digital when I got a BFP. because I got pregnant so quickly last time my mind is telling me it's gonna happen quickly again this time and I'm just gonna set myself up for disappointment!

Very hard to distract myself lol

@HRHXO sounds like you've done enough! Fingers crossed for you. We got like that after literally a week of constant DTD we were running dry!

@20viona SAME!

@Bex7290 I prefer FRER but have noticed indent lines on my most recent ones

OP posts:
Bex7290 · 26/10/2021 21:32

Hugs to you! Same happened to me on the same day!
9dpo is still early so there is still time!
I’m going to test first thing tomorrow. I’ll be 11dpo but I can’t imagine its going to be positive, I just can’t imagine it!
Ill be using First response rather than clear blue, had anyone got any preference? I’ve heard clear blue early detection isn’t that clear.

StaryEyes1978 · 26/10/2021 21:28

@Bex7290 I crumbled and tested. BFN!!! Hoping it's just too early but can't help but be a little sad.

Don't know why I do this to myself!

Bex7290 · 26/10/2021 15:24

@StaryEyes1978 I did that yesterday and would not recommend 😂 Its put me off testing altogether 😂 would not judge if you do though!

20viona · 26/10/2021 14:12

@StaryEyes1978 I'd say hang on but il probably test at 9dpo too 🤣

StaryEyes1978 · 26/10/2021 13:11

Me again! 9DPO today and. Really trying hard not to POAS! Want to leave it til Thursday at the earliest. Normally have some signs that AF is on the way at this point but nothing (so now signal spotting in reverse).

I'm going to drive myself Mad at this rate. Feel like I am being ridiculous! xx

20viona · 26/10/2021 13:00

Hi girls I'm 4DPO today and full on symptom spotting! Didn't think id get like this this early on 😂

HRHXO · 26/10/2021 12:45

Hi all, jumping on if that's okay?
Currently 3dpo according to my apps. I don't do BBT but ovulation sticks peaked on Friday I think but my testing isn't great. Used CB with FMU and then a cheapie later on. No static smiley on CB but I ran out of tests so used a cheapie Friday morning which was high then again mid morning and it was a bit lower so think my peak was Friday? Stopped testing after that as both me and DP felt like we couldn't DTD anymore anyway (did it almost every day from 17th to 23rd).

I know I'm over thinking it but still feel crampy and occasionally have the odd twinge in my boobs. Probs nothing lol!
