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 😊?

Hi all Smile

I am 10 dpo and got my BFP today 😍 been testing since 8dpo where I got a very faint positive. This is our third month trying and we are over the moon right now. Very excited news but also very scary as we had miscarriage in the past, just hoping of a lovely 9 months of pregnancy ♥️

Good luck and baby dust to everyone one!!!!!

Can I tentatively join? 10dpo here and ttc #3, had a mmc last July at 12 weeks and despite trying since cycles returned to normal, no joy til now.

Felt tired and emotional this week but thought that was down to work, yesterday got banging headaches so went to bed at 8:30...tested this morning with a cheapie and got the faintest wisp of a line...not had anything beyond stark white in months so feeling hopeful this is it 🤞 Will test again Sunday morning to see if I can get a clearer BFP

@Tandabear 🤣🤣 haha that makes perfect sense to me! He thinks I'm cool calm and collected 🥴 we are TTC #3 too how old are yours? I'm not sure it's just getting the static smiley on 15th January then coming on last night/this morning. X

@Tandabear I am obsessed too I end up on a thread then another thread reading into it all 😄 he's completely oblivious he just nods along they just don't get it do they. As soon as I mentioned taking my temp he looked completely lost he thinks I've lost it I'm sure 🤣 I'm also now worried that I may have a short luteal phase xx

@Tandabear Thank you ☺️ Yes definitely and I may start taking my temp too just to match up if it seems right. Also DTD more I've told DP no on call work this month 🤣

My spotting has stopped after 2 days and remained brown! Cheapie still bfn but did a FRER this morning and the faintest of lines, in certain lights, is there. Not sure if I'm just going crazy tbh!

TradedAtlanta · 21/01/2022 08:35

@Pol29 my 2 year old has me up all the time with her coughing. It feels like it's been constant since October.

I have a feeling I've not ovulated this month. Frustrating. I don't think I'm even going to get to the 2WW this month.

Pol29 · 21/01/2022 08:21

Hello ladies...anyone having sleepless nights? Usually I'm staying up for my one year old but lately she is sleeping but my eyes are wide open...

Holly3 · 21/01/2022 07:38

Thank you 😊 it's definitely AF I'm just so confused about the positive OPK I'm just going to start testing as soon as I'm off AF and see what happens. Sending baby dust to you all xx

Mariabombia · 20/01/2022 20:35

Thanks for your advice @Coffeeandcupcake ! When are you thinking of testing :)? How you feeling about your first cycle so far?

I tested this evening and it's even darker/higher number ! So I think you're right, I think I must be peaking tonight. It makes it more confusing because I was also doing the CB advanced sticks 🤦‍♀️ & I got a static yesterday but stopped doing them after the static.

Anyway I'll just have to dtd tonight to cover all bases :p

Yeah a bit, it's more like a stitch ache but in an ovary for me haha .

Sorry to hear that @Holly3 , hope you're okay
Xx

@mummytorm Possibly think I'm out and it's AF. Although not losing much with just a pad on when I actually go to the loo I'm losing some small clots I'm so confused that I had a static smiley last week and also different AF symptoms than usual X

Coffeeandcupcake · 20/01/2022 17:53

@Mariabombia Looking at those sticks (rather than what the app says) I would have said Monday and Tuesday you were high and then yesterday you were about to peak (very high) and today is peak. I say that because for it it peak I believe the line should be as dark or darker than the control line, and your tests on the 19th are sligtly lighter than the test line, whereas today the line is actually darker than the test line. I don't use the mom app that does this for you, I just read my own sticks. I wonder if that would be better for you as I think the app has misjudged your sticks. Have you had ovulation pain today? Id dtd tonight if you can Wink

Holly3 · 20/01/2022 15:54

@mummytorm 🤣🤣 yes to this! Would help so much if it showed straight away wouldn't it. Even if this is AF I'd rather just know and rather her not be mucking around changing symptoms from the norm 🤪 the headache isn't shifting xx

Yes. I find the beginning of the cycle stressful because you are testing to find out ovulation and once you get your peak it's like you want to start POAS the next day 😂😂😂. I'm 1DPO so I'm going craaaazy. I'll see how I feel in a week a go from there.

Holly3 · 20/01/2022 15:33

I'm going to try my best to wait until Monday/Tuesday if I can. I'll see how I go with the flow of this as if it gets heavier I won't test, I'll use pads if it does. Once you start TTC it just becomes all consuming doesn't it 😩

@Holly3 when are you going to test? All sounds promising to me

OP posts:
Holly3 · 20/01/2022 15:26

@mummytorm I'm possibly overthinking everything! But I feel different I'm normally so snappy just before AF and irritable but I've been fine and I always come on during the night too as it wakes me every time. I haven't had to change pad today or anything it's coming when I wee so I'm confused but trying to not think about it 🥴 wish it was straight forward 🤪 oh fingers crossed 🤞🏼🤞🏼 xxx
