@kizzy97 @Peonies94 @Tinkerbell098 @jhodd @EvelynSalt starting this from those of us that are out this month and ready to go for December!

This part is nearly as bad as the TTW - waiting for AF to be over and to be able to crack on!

By my calculations we'll all know before Christmas if the next cycle has been a success for us - so hopefully either way happiness or sadness there will be lots of opportunities for lovely family time x

Congrats @Glago2017 Everything is crossed for you!

I'm excited! After my post worrying this morning this just happened. We have, quite luckily spent the afternoon in bed 🙈 I'm off on my works do now but we will try again later no doubt! And tomorrow. I was worried my age and the coil for ten years I wouldn't ovulate..

@kizzy97 in the first trimester I was just really tired and felt a bit sick at night so couldn't eat dinner but apart from that didn't really have many symptoms. X

PoleFairy · 10/12/2021 15:55

Congrats @glago2017

I've not thought about symptoms or anything too much but have just sat and thought I've not really had anything. My AF is due monday and normally by now I have sore nipples, bloating and night sweats and vivid dreams. I've had the dreams but I've not got any of my other pre period symptoms. I thought I was out only dtd once in fertile window 2 days before O but this does seem a bit odd for me to have no AF symptoms

Jhodd · 10/12/2021 15:39

@kizzy97we can go mad together in the tww!! Xx

kizzy97 · 10/12/2021 15:28

@Jhodd I'm 7dpo too! xx

kizzy97 · 10/12/2021 15:27

@Glago2017 Did you get symptoms later on? And my previous pregnancy I had the same as what I'm feeling now, but my previous pregnancy wasn't planned and didn't take a test until I was 5 weeks gone, so can't say how early it was that I started with symptoms if that makes any sense xx

Jhodd · 10/12/2021 15:26

Congratulations @Glago2017

I’m 7dpo today, hate the tww.
My husband and I have a spa evening next Friday when AF is due, so I would love to find out then and tell him there ❤️
🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Glago2017 · 10/12/2021 15:06

@kizzy97 I am 11dpo no real symptoms but I was like this with my previous pregnancy so hopefully its the same this time around 🤞🤞
I had a little more cm than usual and had brain fog but other than that nothing x

kizzy97 · 10/12/2021 15:00

Congratulations @Glago2017 !! How many days dpo are you?

Nausea is here with a vengeance today and slight cramping on and off, also got backache...still too early to test though 🙈

Glago2017 · 10/12/2021 14:37

After taking a rapid response test this morning and thinking I saw something I went and got the early detection tests. Can't quite believe it!

@mightbeyesmightbeno my expected af is Friday too! But 7 days seems so very long to me 😂 I've already worked out if implantation occurs at the very earliest time of 6 days then I can start testing Tuesday 🙈. Your patience is impressive haha

melbxldn · 10/12/2021 11:09

I think I’ll test sat 18th, prob only 9 dpo for me so super early but have a big Xmas lunch so want to know if it’s a definitely no drinks or one or two! With my son I tested negative 9 and 10 dpo but then positive at 15 dpo as I managed to last til my period was late so I’m not expecting a positive on 9dpo even if I was lucky this month

[quote melbxldn]@mightbeyesmightbeno sorry I meant what day will you first test to see if you’re pregnant![/quote]
Oh, knowing me probably very soon 😂 App predicts AF next Friday 17th but this is based on my early O that my sticks predicted which I'm not convinced on. Otherwise AF wasn't predicted until 20th if I go based on my regular cycle of 28 days which has been very regular for months now.

So basically..... I guess I'll test next Friday if AF doesn't show.. and then probably over the weekend.

So I've only got 7 days to go which suddenly doesn't seem very long!

@oldermam I don't use these sticks so not very sure on them (probably will do next month as CBS are just silly expensive) but it looks like your latest 2 are getting pretty dark! 🤞
Hope your OH enjoys his wake up call !

Everything crossed @mightbeyesmightbeno

I'm in my fertile window. CD 13. My app is telling me to have sex today! 😂 I plan on getting the boys off to school and waking OH up. opk's appear to be getting darker (will try attach a pic,
They all say low though which worries me!

I have woken with horrible left sided pain low down today. I don't remember OV being this painful, I've taken Paracetamol. But it's kept me awake since 5am and I have my works Xmas party tonight and hair dressers at 10:30! I'm going to be tired! Or get drunk v. Easily.

How is everyone today?

7 days to AF due date now. Gonna try not to test until Monday cos last month I was testing twice a day for a week like an eejit.

I hate reading into things but just can't help but wonder what on earth is going on inside my body! Backache and mild cramps tonight, pretty constant. Probably wouldn't thing anything of it (especially the back ache as I have a bad back anyway) if we weren't TTC. But as for the cramps 🤷🏻‍♀️ although I think this happened last month and clearly I wasn't pregnant.

Urrrrggggh please little egg be fertilised & implanting 🤞🤞🤞

@melbxldn bless you, welcome to the lonnnnnnggggg wait!

When you ask when you can test, do you mean for pregnancy? Or ovulation?

OP posts:
melbxldn · 09/12/2021 20:28

When can you test

melbxldn · 09/12/2021 20:28

I thought I ovulated yesterday but no temp rise this morning.. maybe it’ll be tomorrow. So anxious to confirm and check if the BD was at good times! And this is before I even start the TWW
