December babies ❄️☃️🧣🎊🌲

Usually the first week of the TWW goes quickly for me and it’s the second week that’s slow, but this it’s the first one too.

4dpo.

How’s everyone else doing?

@Charl881 same. I have no idea why I test early now 🤷‍♀️ and I've only ever done one test with each of my 3 DC

I have the one step ones and I’ve used easy@home in the past but no idea if either are any good! With my DS I never tested early and just used a FRER if period was late, so much more sensible.

@BiscuitLover3678 I'm an easy@home girl for early cheap tests. Can get on Amazon but they have different sensitivities so double check and order the 10iu xx

Clearly I'm doing a terrible job of not thinking about it 😂

Oh I meant to say I was scrolling conception forums yesterday at lunch and a girl found better sensitivity (no indents or crazy lines) with conceive plus pregnancy tests. She got a really good line at 10/11 dpo. Needless to say I ordered a box of those!

@Charl881 hope your DS settles soon. I had to lie on the edge of my DS bed for an hour till he got to sleep. Thankfully those days are long gone

@MrsGrealish I was just going to say I struggle so much concentrating at work at this time of my cycle when it’s not busy! Especially when DS has kept me awake all night.

@Bubblesandballoons just found them! I only work a 3 day week but it soo busy atm which does help not think about it.

I hate this part of the cycle with the sore boobs and tiredness

Good luck everyone with not thinking about it🤞

@BiscuitLover3678 I know how you feel but soon you will be feeling fine again and it won’t have affected any possible baby. Fingers crossed you feel better sooner rather than later.

I was going to test on Tuesday which is 10dpo but if people are testing Sunday/ Monday I’ll probably join in then. I have a load of cheapies, going to try to resist getting any FRERs unless I genuinely think I am pregnant.

Oh no @MrsGrealish have you found it yet? Busy few days at work are helping time move a bit faster. Only another week and a half to go 😂. I haven’t decided when to test, think I’m just going to go with the flow and see how I feel.

I've lost my folic acid. Thinking this may be a sign

I’m aiming for 10dpo which will be next Tuesday.

@MrsGrealish - I am going to try and stay strong this month…but I will probably crumble by day 9 as well 😂

I wish I could be chilled and test with a digital day before period due but that sane person is not me!

@Sunshine92 no earlier than 9dpo. Monday week. Yes I've counted the days 😆

Think I’ve ovulated, so I’ll be joining you all in the TWW.
When does everyone usually test? ☺️

Welcome @Poppyjen. That was lucky for them then. Is it just me or can you see some guy picking shopping and realising there are no cb pregnancy tests and just going these will prob do the same thing 😂.
@BiscuitLover3678 sorry to hear you have been poorly too. Hopefully it won’t have affected anything. As charl said at this stage it will just be a ball of cells, so you being ill shouldn’t affect that. Hope you are feeling better.

Interesting! I’ve got proper cramps on one side (like trapped wind 😂). This is only the second month I’ve felt anything like this so not sure if timing. I should probably count tomorrow as ovulation day just in case.

@Charl881 not great news for me. It happens like 24 hrs b4 egg is released. Stretching and irritation as it expands to release egg.

For me the right sided pinching was followed by full on AF cramps a couple hours later. Nothing today but it was painful last night and killed my sex drive (OH asleep anyway so a mute point 😅)

Let's hope his swimmers live up to the 3 day challenge

Out of interest @MrsGrealish what did your Google research tell you about ovulation cramps and time of ovulation? I’m pretty sure I’m experiencing them this evening so now wondering if tomorrow might be ovulation day.

But I was younger then and full of fertility. I wouldn't complain again. Would happily accept the ovulation kit.
@Charl881 I'm jealous of your peak. Though sore boobs with me too today

Omg @Poppyjen this same thing happened to me with DD. I think I ended up giving it to the driver asking for a refund. I knew it was too late for ovulation kits 😂

So here's something I know you ladies will appreciate...so I had my Tesco delivery today, they had substituted my clear blue pregnancy tests (ordered as I knew I would be testing this weekend) for the clear blue smiley face ovulation tests - after AF arrived this morning that is a whole lot more useful 😊

Paranoid now about some Orwellian dystopia where Tesco somehow know about my TTC status 😂😂😂

I haven't used the CB digi OV tests before, I wasn't planning to actually but now I have them I guess my POAS fun can continue for a whole lot more of my cycle...
