Anyone testing around April 19th? My 2ww is just starting.

@Graceybaby exactly like you, seeing the negative tests is always a deception, but at least I find it easier when af arrives as I have prepared myself for it

Welcome @Eagtess3 I'm 3dpo as well! 🙂

Hi @Eagtess3 :)

Of course, I'm also 3DPO. Hope your TWW isn't too torturous xxx

Can I join , I’m 3dpo I think and TTC baby number two. My daughter has just turned two x

*to be disappointed

@ArcEnCiel2022 Yay, glad I will have a testing buddy ☺️

Yeah I would never be able to wait, exactly as you said Id just be thinking constantly what if it's positive and I could find out just by testing? I'd also rather test even if it's negative so I can prepare myself that it may not be my month rather then be build myself up to be disappointment.

@GoT1904 yes I can imagine how difficult it might be for her... I'm starting to feel a bit better now, but it's still difficult for me to see a baby or a pregnant woman at the moment, as it reminds me what should have been. I hope it will happen for her very soon.
Haha for the tests 🤣 I think I would have done the same!
So cute the coffee cup, I love your idea 😊

@Graceybaby no cute announcement for me unfortunately, we don't want to get our hopes too high again in case it will be another miscarriage.
I will be 9 dpo as well next Tuesday: now that you tell me you will test that day, I'm thinking hmmm I'll probably do the same 😂 I admire people who can wait until late AF, for me it's just impossible to think that maybe I'm pregnant, and I could already know it! No way I can wait! It's true that there is always the risk of a chemical, but if it happens I prefer to know it

@GoT1904 Same here, there's no way I could hold off until AF didn't arrive.. I want to know asap! I got my positive at 9DPO with my son so I always start at around 8DPO, my LP is only 10-11days so I guess technically it's not testing too early! That's what I tell myself anyway!! 😂

Haha love the amazon impulse buys! Im exactly the same. I've bought a load of cheap one-step tests, will use those and buy a digi test if I get a hint if a BFP. I'd love to be able to test together with my OH but he leaves at silly o'clock in the morning so timing wouldn't be right. If I were to get a hint of a line on the cheapie then I'd buy a digital and we'd do that one together for sure.

Love the cup idea too, that's so cute!! Anyone else have any ideas to announce to OH? Haven't really thought about surprising him like that, might be an option?

@ArcEnCiel2022 I'll be 9dpo on Tuesday so I'll probably test then! Just hoping I make it to that point, this is my first cycle off the pill so I wouldn't be surprised if my body decides to just do something completely different and AF arrive early!

As @GoT1904 said I am just happy to be TTC again, of course I'll be disappointed with a BFN but it's also only cycle 1 so I'd be extremely lucky for it to happen so quickly!

xx

@GoT1904 I'm really sorry for your friend. CD50... It must be awful 😞 I've been lucky that my cycle post miscarriage was only a bit longer than usual (but I still had positive pregnancy tests until after my first period! I even thought I might be pregnant again).
Good luck for waiting that long if you are usually an early tester 😂 I'm glad DP doesn't ask for that, he won't know when I start testing! I have 5 cheap tests and 3 FRER from last month, I haven't decided yet when I will start testing. Last month I started at 8dpo, but this month I'm thinking maybe 11, but I'm sure I will be tempted before 😅

@Graceybaby when are you planning to test? (Sorry if you already said it)

@GoT1904, me either, I've never had sore nipples! Boobs still tender today too.. ovulation hit us hard! 😂 Hopefully it's a good sign ☺️

I've ordered a load of cheap one-step tests and will buy a couple of clear blue tests if I get a hint of a BFP... don't want to temp fate 🙈😅

@AmyD54321, I can imagine after 9months I would feel like that too.. I was the same with my son and that was only 6months.. I started to not worry or think about it as I was so fed up then it happened so fingers crossed it happens for you soon! 😘

@ArcEnCiel2022, I don't ever remember feeling ovulation when I was off the pill previously but then it was 5 years ago so my memories probably going! 🤣 Definitely felt something this time though, had cramps all weekend 🙈 They've settled now though so sure that's what was causing them.

I'm going to try and ignore all symptoms too, I agree when I got pregnant with my son I had no symptoms at all.. the only symptom I had was implantation pain two days before my BFP.

Hi @Sarahmayo of course! The more the merrier! Hoping you get the best birthday present! 💜

I had a rubbish night's sleep, my son (5) decided to randomly keep waking up all night 🤦🏼‍♀️
One of things we have to look forward too again I suppose!! 🙈🤣

Hi all, I am just starting my 2WW, cycle 4 off TTC after MMC in December. AF due on 18th for me, was my birthday on Saturday so I'm hoping for the best birthday present ever. Hope it's ok to join you and sending you all best wishes for BPF this month 🌈🌈🤞🏻

Hi @AmyD54321 I can't imagine how long it must feel for you after 9 months, I really hope you'll get lucky this month!

@Graceybaby I've always been able to feel my ovulation since I stopped the pill, long before ttc (something like 5 years ago). I find that really helpful!
I've never done anything in particular during the TWW, but I have read somewhere else about the warm feet, so I will try to keep them warm as well just in case 😂

My partner doesn't have a clue that I'm tracking ovulation, he'd be really surprised I think 😂 we just try to dtd regularly, but I do it because I like to know! I might stop next month, because the past months it has just confirm that I already knew when it was, with the EWCM and the pain!

@GoT1904 I also caught the first month trying for both my miscarriages! I didn't really realise how lucky I was (well, if we can call that lucky as I would rather not being pregnant, than being and losing the baby...). Anyway, now it's cycle 4 and it seems so long...

I will try to ignore any symptoms I could think I feel during the TWW, because the 2 times I've been pregnant I didn't have any symptom at all, while the last 3 months I had a lot of "symptoms" but got a BFN!

Hi everyone, I'm 1dpo today. Cycle 9 for baby #1. We've been trying for what feels like a really long time now, and so I'm sadly a bit pessimistic now! Will look forward to following along here!

@GoT19044 haha yep I've been wearing fluffy socks for the past two days 🤣🤣

How lucky to catch straight away! And how amazing if you did again!!

Wayyy to early for any symptoms but I've noticed in the bath that my nipples are tender.. which is weird for me because I've never ever had sore nipples, even when I was pregnant or before AF it's just something I've never experienced.

Must just be my hormones after the pill maybe but very odd for me..

For some random reason this afternoon I started wondering how big our eggs actually are, I'd never given it much thought before so here we are... 🤣

Egg cell fact #1: The egg is one of the biggest cells in the body.
Eggs are larger than any other cell in the human body, at about 100 microns (or millionths of a meter) in diameter, about the same as a strand of hair. That means you could, in theory, see an egg cell with the naked eye. The fact is that egg cells are about 4 times the size of skin cells—and about 20 times the size of sperm!

I’d had such a busy day I completely forgot to test until that time 🤦‍♀️ this is what I’m hoping happened 🤞🏼

I’m exactly the same 🤣 I like to know dates and although I don’t like to “plan” DTD I definitely sweet talk the DP when I know it’s the right time! 😜

If I did ovulate on CD14/15 I’ll be testing around the 16th hoping for a BFP 🥰

@PrettyPolly92 I'm not too sure, it does look like your peak was around CD13/14, Did you just do the one test that day? Looks like you tested quite late, peak could have been earlier that morning? Did you have any other ovulation symptoms around that time?

Haha, we started with the same 'if it happens it happens' view but... nope, that was never going to happen, I need to know what's happening! 😅 I tell him when I expect to ovulate and that's it.. he doesn't need to know much else! haha

CD14 I mean!
