starting the tww

Thank you @SGChome20 - this is a really useful website!

www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/

I quite like this website for figuring when to test

@HelloPippa don’t rule yourself out. The clear blue earlys only have a 25ml sensitivity. Which is actually pretty standard sensitivity.

@Bubblegum093 thank you! BFN - roll on next month!

Fingers crossed it’s better news for you ladies

Will be thinking of you tomorrow @HelloPippa when you do your early clear blue! Keep us posted on how you get on, fingers crossed.

Hi @Bristolgal567 - you’re so right it’s hard not to symptom spot! I’ve had cramps everyday since 1dpo just not sure if it’s my body/mind playing tricks on me. Like you say I’m not sure if I’m mixing up the symptoms with pms but AF not due for another 11 days for me and I don’t usually get cramps this early on.

Trying not to get my hopes up ladies in case it’s a bfn, but it’s hard haha! This TWW is torture

Hello

I'm 6dpo and trying not to symptom spot but it is hard not to! Boobs are v sore but they usually are some months before AF. Bit irritable and weepy but again I'm always like this week before AF. I have felt slightly crampy tho, not like period cramps but more a feeling if that makes sense? Also a huge spot has appeared on my chin today which again happens some months before AF so think this is just the usual pms :(

@Bubblegum093 well all my imagined symptoms are now gone so not too hopeful but still waiting for Sunday when I can do a ClearBlue early!

@HelloPippa totally! How have you been feeling today?
Ditto on the symptom spotting!

@SGChome20 haha I have been symptom spotting since 1 DPO.

@Bubblegum093 welcome! Temperature taking is a faff for sure but I do feel like it gives you a lot of info

Hi everyone
Could I join in I’m 3dpo - new to whole process of TTC and first time posting on here! Third month TTC, think I am finally getting the hang of tracking my cycle now, after being on the pill since forever (I’m 28 and been on pill since I was 16 so think my body is still getting used to not being on it). Started BBT this month after reading different threads on here (still getting majorly confused by it though as it had a huge dip this morning and not sure what it means haha)! My one step OPKs never show much but I had a clear blue static smiley when Flo app also estimated O day the start of the week so pinning all hopes on that. The one step had a very faint line but it’s never been as dark as the control line.

Feeling all your pain on the TWW! Fingers crossed for a BFP for you all x

So stupidly tested today at 8dpo - obviously it was a BFN. Not counting myself out yet as feel like it was daft to test so early as I usually test after at least 12dpo. Any luck for anyone yet?

Onto the next month! I hope to see some BFP's on here tho

I was using some cheapy strips from Amazon, but used a FRER yesterday and it was a BFN. I feel like that would have picked it up by now if it was positive.
I’ve run out of tests now! Will have to stock up again for next month and see how next cycle goes. I do have a feeling AF is going to start in the next couple of days.

I’m 8dpo today and getting some cramps this morning and last night. I’m really hoping that’s implantation cramps but then again it could just be something I ate! Anyone else symptom spotting like mad?

@KateInHappyland not out till AF shows! The app could be wrong with dates as well

@KateInHappyland fingers crossed! I am a couple days behind you, AF due Mon/Tues. What tests are you using?

Getting so close to AF being due now and the wait is still so tense! App predicts it’ll start around the 12th (still hoping it doesn’t, but we’re 3 days away and tests are still showing negative - it’s not looking likely).

@Geemmm yeah that was hard wasn’t it, as if waiting a week is really easy. You still have the hope as well which is really crappy!

Hi all, I’d love to join the chat too! I am TTC #1, month 1. 7 DPO, going crazy naturally... Did a cheap test this morning just for something to do 😂 BFN obviously. Hope everyone is well!

[quote Hannabanana2021]@Geemmm I'm really hoping so 🤞 the process for me was awful as my HCG was slowly rising but they couldn't see anything and I wasn't bleeding. Leaving me with 3 internal scans and 6 blood tests overall with the words "ectopic" and "molar" being mentioned. I wasn't in a very good place but thankful my body resolved on its own even though I was left with pregnancy of unknown location. Luckily they've told me if I fall pregnant again I can come straight in and they'll do blood work and keep every monitored to ease the anxiety a little. Would be amazing if we all got positives just before Christmas ❤️[/quote]
Aw gosh hun that sounds awful - sending lots of love ❤️. Ur right it would be a dream if we all ended up with a little early Christmas present!

@Hannabanana2021 yeah, you just self refer yourself to EPU and that’s the advice I got. They did say if I still got a positive test a week later though they would have gotten me in for a scan so I think when it’s so early they just avoid scanning everyone. Or maybe it’s a covid thing, who knows.
