Ovulation yesterday for me at CD16 and currently embarking on the dreaded TWW 😅 anyone else in the TWW and want to keep each other company?

[quote Geemmm]@Theneverendingcleaningcycle so hard! I'll be 8DPO on Sunday and I know if my parcel of FRER comes by then I'll probably test then too even though it's so early. I really don't know why I do it but it's so compulsive 🙈[/quote]
It is. I find that men don't get it nd my DP thinks I'm nuts.

@BigAlice

With testing, what do you guys think is a reasonable time to test? 10dpo?
I would say from them... having just did one at 8dpo. I find this website good www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/dpo-chart.php?dpo=8

@MummyMe87

I’m 6dpo today and keep getting twinges in my left groin area. Completely over thinking it. My boss at work asked if I was pregnant aswell as I have been mega forgetful and ditsy… I’m not sure that’s a symptom at 6dpo 😂😂
This is me too! Keep getting little pulling feelings in my left groin and had this the first time I got a BFP - hope I'm not filling myself 🤞🏻

I’ve not got any tests in the house or I know I’d been doing them!!! Not long to go 💜

[quote Geemmm]@Theneverendingcleaningcycle don't worry mrs 8dpo is still early ur not out ❤️ I know how you feel though and still do the same every month to myself. Fingers crossed for u 🤞🏻[/quote]
Thanks. I know I shouldn't have tested as the chances ate very low and knew how it would make me feel.
It's hard to stop though isn't it? X

That was me a few days ago pains and cm. I got excited thinking it was a pre pregnancy sign. I'm now 8dpo and just tested. Bfn - though I know technically it's to early to test I'm still sad. Hoping to wait now till Sunday to test.

Sunshinemom · 06/01/2022 13:06

Why is it so hard to track 😂 wish i could see the future!

Arly90 · 06/01/2022 12:10

@Sunshinemom

I’m worried I got my ovulation wrong, I’ve had loads of cm the last few days. 😬
Same here. I've had Sharp pains on my right side. Never had it before but if its not ovulation I've no idea what it is. Been coming and going from last night🙈

I've started taking the pregnacare ones but heard they can mess with your cycle. I'm feeling quite anxious about it because I stupidly didn't realise they had to be taken so far beforehand so probably only had like a months worth in my system.

I take seven seas and an additional vit D. I should really take an additional iron too but it gives me such a sore stomach. Doc said I would need to when pregnant though.

MummyMe87 · 05/01/2022 11:43

I just take folic acid, but d and vit b complex

Theneverendingcleaningcycle · 05/01/2022 11:37

@tbcp90

Is anyone using pre conception vitamins? If so what brand are you using?
I'm using seven seas prenatal. Got them from amazon.
Sassy144 · 05/01/2022 10:55

@tbcp90 I'm taking pregnacare pre conception, they aren't cheap but managed to get 3 for 2 in Tesco.

Theneverendingcleaningcycle · 05/01/2022 10:30

I have no symptoms today. My CM seems to have settled too.
Feeling like I'm out again. Will test Sunday at 10dpo.

MummyMe87 · 05/01/2022 09:37

I suspect I’ll test 10dpo, I’m not going to lie to myself and make out I’ll wait for a missed AF 😂 I bought 10miu HCG cheapies for this purpose. So Monday will be my test day.

Got some back ache this morning and a bit twingey in my left and right groin but think I had that last month aswell

tbcp90 · 05/01/2022 08:57

@Geemmm @Sassy144 the urge to test is so strong isn't it?

I was going to hold out until 11th which is when AF is due but I might try this weekend when I'll be 11 DPO. That way I'm off work and can process results (wishful thinking, I know)

Sassy144 · 05/01/2022 07:14

My af is due on 10dpo so I'm really hoping that's not too short a window for me to get a bfp 😔 going to try to refrain from testing until it's late unless I get any obvious symptoms

Welcome @tbcp90 ❤️

It's brutal isn't it 😅 so hard to refrain from testing sometimes. Are you planning to test before AF is due or wait?

I'm planning for 12dpo to test which takes me to the day before my AF is due. I know I probably won't be able to stop myself though, but it's wishful thinking lol.

Hi everyone,

Please can I join? I'm 8 DPO (roughly) today and trying to resist the urge to test. This is my first TWW, didn't realise two weeks could pass so slowly Grin
