Starting the TWW. Anybody want to join???

10dpo and been testing but bfn so far! I've only used cheapies and not done a frer. I've started to think it's not gonna happen this month even though I felt so positive at the start!

Hello hope everyone's well 💖

5dpo and absolutely nothing to report 😂 @LittleMrsMama I seriously considered doing one this morning too had to give myself a shake 😂😂

@alwaysseeingstars yay I think I am about 2 or 3dpo too. It sounds like it was ovulation pains? I'm not too sure with the static faces etc opks? I've not used the digital ones so not able to help you there, sorry:(
Yes happy for them and excited, but envious too lol, hopefully it be me soon making an announcement!

@Cheeeeeeeks oh gosh, that must be difficult as you must be incredibly happy yet envious at the same time!! Stay strong

Hi all, can I tag along? I'm roughly 3DPO and have turned from a v sensible, logical (sometimes too logical I'm told!) person into a massive over thinker!! Only recently started TTC, have had very irregular and difficult periods so have spent the last 9 years without AF due to back-to-back pill and then coil.
I got the static smile on Thurs, after 9 days of flashing (grr). Friday afternoon I had a really hot flush for a couple of hours, my face and chest got v hot and red. Then Friday night I was in severe pain with cramping for around 3 hours - far too painful to sleep or even move, started on my left side then the pain went much further down and almost in the middle - any ideas what this could be? At first I thought Ov pain but the pain just got so intense.
I don't get EWCM either, never noticed it before, now today I have CM but white and quite a lot of it! Very confused, any advice greatly appreciated!

@LittleMrsMama looooool omg! Stay strong! I currently two pregnancy announcements in my family. One being my younger sister who was so strong and waited a week after she missed her period to test. I wish I was as strong!!!

@LittleMrsMama haha yes, that is a good idea. I currently experienced sore breasts too this morning which is not normal at this stage in my cycle, I usually get it a week before AF starts and this is quiet early. I've also been cramping a lot since and CM still quite abundant (EWCM doesn't usually last this long for me in my fertile period) not sure if I'm looking into it too much or if these are my early symptoms! Or if I'm having a late ovulation.

@Aardbeien like @LittleMrsMama said 10dpo is still early but I guess the closer you get the more you wanna test! My will power is so low I probs start testing at 8dpo lol

I'm so silly, I just did a cheapie at 6DPO and not even FMU! 🤦‍♀️ I can be so irrational during the 2WW!

Those cheap tests are brilliant! And yes definitely feels like we can test often.

Thanks for the support! And fingers crossed we all have some good news this cycle. I'd love a BFP in this group soon! 6DPO today and have some cramps and sore breasts but think it's all in my head!

@LittleMrsMama
I have really cheap tests so I can test as often as I need to thankfully! I'm sorry to hear about your prior miscarriage. I'm keeping the hope up for now, for all of us on this thread!

Haha @Cheeeeeeeks it's so hard isn't it? Best thing I've found to do is immerse myself in a new hobby/buy something really nice I could enjoy and take up a lot of my time. At the moment I'm trying to get into different teas (decaf just in case). I don't really care about tea but it's distracting me from symptom spotting

@Aardbeien you're not out just yet as it's still early! Even when I was pregnant last time I had a very faint positive at 9DPO then nothing at all at 10DPO then from 11DPO BFPs. Sadly I miscarried a few weeks later which will have been unrelated but shows that it's not too late. I also know someone that only had her BFP at 14DPO. Sorry that's probably going to make you test constantly these next few days but there's still hope!

I got impatient at 10dpo, no BFP yet it seems. I feel like I'm getting symptoms that I don't with AF but it's only my 3rd cycle off the pill so maybe AF makes me nauseated now. Still not convinced it's a BFN until AF shows up though.

Omg, how does everyone get passed the two week wait stage!!! With DD I didn't think I was pregnant so didn't really symptom watch or anything but this time round I keep thinking I feels things happening although I'm only like 2DPO?

(As in at 12DPO I had the strong lines, at 5DPO I probably won't have even implanted yet if this is my month)

I agree with @helloworld88 re LH all throughout the cycle so nothing to worry about @Cally1980

I just did my test at 5DPO and still had a faint line. I had strong positive OPKs when I was last pregnant but I mean a very strong dark second line as if I was ovulating

@Cally1980 oh nooo! Yeah think we're always producing LH and you can even still get a surge just before AF which is confusing!

Fingers crossed for a positive HCG test soon for you!

@Cally1980 did you mean a faint line on the OPK?

Thanks @LittleMrsMama I had a lot of cramping today so I'm assuming I am now 1DPO

That was a very informative video @Cally1980 thank you

Just freaked myself and partner out. Thought I’d did two hcg tests but had done one hcg and one OPK by accident! Hcg had faint line and for a few minutes though we’d done it! Argh seems like I’m still releasing lh on 8dpo.

You're so right @Aardbeien I think with most other things in life you can work hard or you can somehow influence the outcome in some way. Getting pregnant feels so out of our hands and just down to luck. Only 4 more days until you're 12DPO so not long left to wait, here I am about 4 days in, it's going to be a long 8 days! Haha

@LittleMrsMama
It's hard to be rational about a situation we've been wanting and waiting for 😂 let's both try to get to 12 days at least! Keeping my fingers crossed that we all get those BFP results that we're looking for!

@Aardbeien we are all such rational people until we start trying for a baby! 😛🤦‍♀️ I'm trying my best to hold out until about 12DPO - I'd have said 14 but realistically I know I won't last that long (even 12 is ambitious). I've had a positive at 9DPO before so would say you're not too far off testing if you wanted. It's exciting finding out sooner if it's a BFP but heartbreaking to get hopes up every day if it's a BFN thinking 'maybe it was just too early yesterday?'

@Gillseybear good luck with the FRER tomorrow! Let us know how you get on!

Thanks for the video @Cally1980 I'll watch when I'm not around DH so I don't freak him out too much!

If anyone is looking to kill time I’ve found an amazing animation of the process:

There’s also one on ovulation!

Thanks @LittleMrsMama keeping my fingers crossed!

@helloworld88 it’s such a rollercoaster one minute you think ‘nah not this time’ and then 5 mins later you’re hopeful again.

My cramps stopped after an hour and haven’t come back since. I’m 8dpo today and at least 7/8 days before AF is due.
Partner has a vasectomy reversal 6months ago (neither of us have children) so even if I get a chemical pregnancy it would be good to know if the operation worked.
