Hi all. Currently in the TWW and if we conceive this cycle bubba will be arriving in October! Anyone want to join in symptom spotting and testing 😊?

@Tandabear Hi! I think I was reluctant to test because I don't actually think I O'd when I thought I had, which would mean we didn't DTD at the right time, which would then lead to another BFN.

I've attached my OPKs again, we assumed the 9th was O day and DTD plenty around that time. However on previous cycles I've had a peak on the CB at CD23, CD24 and then CD17. So god only knows.

I caved and did one anyway and it was BFN. I've been feeling absolutely dreadful ever since and just feeling like it'll never happen for us. Usually I have a 32 day cycle.

@Sunrise321 So happy for you and your extended LP! I'll keep all my fingers crossed that you don't see AF! 🙂

AF is technically due Thursday but as I said above, I've completely lost the plot with dates etc this cycle. I give up!

I know it's a silly thing to say but today I have felt so nauseous and headachey. It felt like morning sickness (I'll never forget how ill I felt). I doubt it's got anything to do with pregnancy as I'm only 3dpo (I think)!

Hey ladies, I'm in the tww at the moment. AF is due on Wednesday but I've been having little pink spotting when wiping (not everytime though) for 4 days. Had some brown cm yesterday and today as well. Not sure if this is implantation bleeding or AF coming. Had sore boobs, cramping and feeling nauseous since around ovulation date-ish. But at the time of trying we both had covid, so it could just be that mucking up my cycle. Anyways, its nice to have other people to chat with whilst I wait Smile

See, I'm the other way round. I don't want to POAS because then the likelihood is I have to give up the fantasy of being pregnant. I much prefer just waiting for AF (but then of course it is a big disappointment when it comes).

Charl881 · 23/01/2022 12:40

@mooonbaby I’m glad I’m not the only one who usually caves ridiculously early, 7dpo for me here and I’m surprised I’ve not POAS yet. Getting very tempted.

@Sunrise321 were you due AF yesterday? Still no signs?

I'm now 14DPO, haven't tested since the BFN on 10DPO.

Should I test or just keep waiting? I have 1 FRER left...

PoopMaster · 23/01/2022 09:48

Thanks everyone 😊 I had a little bit of pinkish/brownish discharge over the past week but seems to have slowed right down and gone clear. Also had banging headaches Thursday/Friday.

Congrats @PoopMaster

Congratulations @PoopMaster! So glad you're feeling optimistic even though you had a mmc. Gives me hope that it won't take the magic away from getting another bfp. Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy x

Holly3 · 23/01/2022 09:36

Huge congratulations @PoopMaster ☺️❤️

HellsBellsK · 23/01/2022 09:30

I don't know what is going on with me. Have had brown spotty on and off, a little bit of red on Friday nothing since. Brown every now and again but that's all.

Period is due on Thursday. Don't think I am pregnant but something must be off.

Im putting it down to the booster - the first two didn't affect me at all but I got a different one for the booster.

Congratulations @PoopMaster great news!

Lizzlekicks · 23/01/2022 09:29

Congratulations @PoopMaster

TradedAtlanta · 23/01/2022 09:23

Congratulations @PoopMaster! Hopefully lots more BFPs for the rest of the thread too.

PoopMaster · 23/01/2022 09:14

Tested again this morning and there's definitely a line now (12dpo). Woke up at 3 am feeling a bit peckish and then later with some nausea so it was more to confirm...but I still felt so nervous! I'm much more excited than I thought I'd be, I thought last year's mmc would steal the joy but it seems I'm still an optimist.

No sorry Sunrise, I can’t see anything either.

I also tested this morning, only 6dpo and BFN (as expected). I just couldn’t resist 😫

Lizzlekicks · 23/01/2022 08:32

@Sunrise321 no I can't see anything, sorry.

I'm also about 5/6 dpo and keep telling myself to wait til Wednesday. But, like you, come Monday I will be eager 😂

mooonbaby · 22/01/2022 21:04

@Charl881 I’m 5/6 dpo too and it’s such a long wait. I think im going to wait until at least 8dpo to test. Easier said than done though!

Charl881 · 22/01/2022 18:57

Struggling to keep up with this thread but congrats to those who have got BFPs.

Maybe test in a couple of days to be sure either way @Tigerlilyxx? So frustrating and difficult I know.

I’m 6dpo today (I think), this is usually when I start getting the urge to POAS. I always promise myself I’ll wait until 10dpo but I guarantee you on Monday I’ll be using a cheapie and squinting as hard as I can. No FRERs in this cycle, debating whether to order some online or if it will just be a waste of money (again)
