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!💜

@ExTriTrying that I did do! So hopefully I'm covered. Hopefully we get a positive!

@Queenbean I know it's crazy! There's a few symptom spotters in this group so don't worry!

Hiya

I’m gonna join you all. First month of using OBKs and actually DTD on ovulation days. It’s all a new world of terminology etc isn’t it!

I had an early miscarriage last month so started trying straight away. I had a lot of ovulation pain this month and we DTD on the day before ovulation and day of ovulation (I only started using OBKs a few days before then husband was away with work)

We already have a toddler and on that pregnancy and my recent one I “felt” pregnant a few days in. I’ve had a high temperature and real fatigue last few days. I’m only 4DPO so I know it is a coincidence but hard not to symptom spot isn’t it!

@apwilso I think as long as you know you ovulated, and you had plenty of sex around that time, then you've done all you can! The waiting game begins... Tbh, I'm pretty sure ovulation for me was Sunday, OPK said 'not fertile' this AM, and nearly every resource I look at says ovulation is before temp rise, except stuff from Ovusense who seem to have their own science!

@ExTriTrying I'm the same unsure which day I ovulated so guessing game!

OP posts:
ExTriTrying · 26/10/2021 09:31

Well, my first LH spike didn't result in ovulation, then I got another LH spike on Sunday - temp went up and I seem to have ovulated - so that's reassuring! Clearblue OPK thinks I ovulated Sun (at temp drop), Ovucore thinks I ovulated today (Tuesday, after temp rise). So, I am either 2 DPO, or 0 DPO...

@Bex7290 well hopefully you get a positive in the upcoming days! That's a good sign. I'm around 4 dpo I think? But I've noticed some back pain and some very light cramping!

OP posts:
Bex7290 · 25/10/2021 13:33

How is everyone today?
So I caved 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ Tested 9dpo, knowing full well its too early to test but did it anyway! Expecting AF around day 15 so I knew it was too early for FRER to pick up but couldn't stop myself! Of course its a BFN!
I’ve now got lower back ache and had cramps this morning but not much else!

@RKEE HAHAHA! I'm always like I think I can see something yeah a blank white test at 5dpo! Sometimes I surprise myself 🤣

OP posts:
RKEE · 24/10/2021 22:25

@apwilso yes and taking pictures rather than just waiting another 3 days 🙈😂

@RKEE literally! Running round the house for different lighting like that's going to help🤣

RKEE · 24/10/2021 22:22

@apwilso Sameeee! And I don’t know why as it makes it even worse testing early and guessing if there are two lines!

apwilso · 24/10/2021 22:19

@StaryEyes1978 fingers crossed for you!

@RKEE I have no willpower🤣

@Bex7290 that's a good sign even though it isn't a nice one! Try and get to at least 10dpo but I wouldn't judge if you do it early🤣

OP posts:
lulu0507 · 24/10/2021 21:38

@Bex7290 wow! That sounds promising, hope you will get your BFP soon!

kittymumma001 · 24/10/2021 18:17

@Bex7290 I have a first respond test and was going to use it 5/6 days before AF appears as it says you can.

The testing is so tempting especially with the internet cheapies ....!
Good luck!!

Bex7290 · 24/10/2021 18:05

8dpo today and I’ve had nausea on and off all day 🤢 Positive test or not, I’ll be in the doctors at the end of the week if this continues 😬 luckily, I have the week off work.
@Pugmumm Thank you 💕
Hello to all those who have joined! I’m becoming more and more tempted to test sooner!

RKEE · 24/10/2021 16:51

I’m 5DPO and going to try and not test until at least 31st but my willpower is already waining ha! Baby dust to all ❤️

20viona · 24/10/2021 16:42

I'm so tired this afternoon girls! My two year old has ran me ragged and I'm wondering if we are mad trying for another 🤣

Pugmumm · 24/10/2021 13:52

Good luck @StaryEyes1978 Brew🤞🏻Grin

Be amazing if we could all update each other on here x

StaryEyes1978 · 24/10/2021 13:42

Can I join? I am 7DPO so half way through TWW. Tend to have a short literal phase though so AF usually arrives day 10 PO. If I make it to Friday
without AF arriving I may do a FRER.

Sprinkling lots of baby dust for everyone!!

Good luck all! xx

Pugmumm · 24/10/2021 12:17

@Bex7290 since TTC my vivid dreams have been constant and it's only this month I've had really bad insomnia (I'm only about 4 DPO I think).

The vivid dreams are a very common early sign. I did get that in cycle 1 (on cycle 2 TTC) but I got my BFN beginning of October Sad easy to symptom spot but I do think dreams like that are very coming before a BFP so fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻✨

@lulu0507 I think I wanna test around next weekend. But I'll probably do one at 6dpo knowing me 😂

@Bex7290 I constantly have vivid dreams so it isn't
Overly abnormal for me!

OP posts:
Bex7290 · 24/10/2021 11:43

Does anyone else have crazy dreams during the tww?

So last night I had very light abdominal cramping and shooting pains in my breast, then has some very vivid dreams. One of which being that my whole chest turned bright blue with massive veins. Woke up this morning to check because it was so vivid (no massive veins in sight).
I rarely remember my dreams so this was really strange for me! I don’t think this is a sign at all but just wondered if it was normal! Is this stress?

lulu0507 · 24/10/2021 11:36

@apwilso I'm also 3dpo today😁, when do you plan to test?Smile

apwilso · 24/10/2021 11:23

I lied I think I'm 3dpo now only thing I've noticed is TMI FIRSTLY! Stomach seems overly sensitive so a few toilet breaks if you know what I mean 🥴

@Bex7290 I think I'm now around 2 dpo. That's some symptoms though I couldn't ignore them! I was like surely TTC isn't that bad. Ermmmm yeah it's very stressful! Thank you so much lovely hoping you get your BFP!

@lulu0507 join the club!

@Pugmumm I wouldn't feel too worried! The amount of months I was like omg symptoms this symptoms that and got a negative and when I was pregnant I had next to nothing until I tested

@mrswoody10 sounds like a good sign!

@20viona wow 6 weeks that's fast!!

@ExTriTrying thank you! That's it sex loads to cover everyday 🤣

@HeyBlaby I know how you feel it's easier said to try not to worry but hopefully you can take it easy!

That was some catching up!
