Officially in the TWW
3dpo

CM starting to go creamy now, this is the worst part now! AF due on 17th June

Had sex only on day of and day after ovulation as we weren't going to try this month but decided to just take it a bit more chilled!

Couldn't physically wait four hours! Only managed about 1hr 45 mins but it's still defo there!! Not much change as expected hopefully tomorrow will be stronger. Interestingly though control line was much darker! Not sure if that means anything

@itsnearlymytime aw it's a good sign!! Fingers crossed 🤞🏽when will you be testing??

lollyx96 · 09/06/2022 16:55

@Littleonek Yes may be a good idea! Can be so tempting though! Never out unless AF arrives. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏽

@Littleonek I know what you mean!! Luckily I work somewhere with easy access to free pregnancy tests else I wouldn't have bothered that early on! When are you testing??

Sunday I am 10dpo so might try then. But with my two daughters I tested too early and thought I wasn't pregnant and a week after my period was due and was positive. And as I thought I wasn't pregnant I purchased expensive things as I was not trying for a baby at the time eg I got a new sofa. If I knew I was pregnant I wouldn't got them. So learnt my lesson not accept a test unless peirod is a week late as I don't show as positive until much later. Could be due to my pcos. As this would be my 3rd pregnancy hopefully I may show up sooner on a test.

@Tropicana1 I have ydays!! This is defo a squinter 🤣🤣🤣

I can see the line! Its making me want to test early but must resist as pregnancy tests are too expensive. Fingers crossed a stronger line tomorrow morning!

Ooh sounds promising @lollyx96
Do you have a line picture? I love squinting at them 😂

lollyx96 · 09/06/2022 15:10

Hi can I join?? Second month of TTC, currently 9dpo this month only managed to do it once in fertile window so thought I was out! However 6 &7dpo had lower back pain and weird dull ache in lower abdo, then yday out of the blue got heartburn which I never get! So yday (8dpo) did a test late after noon and was a vvvvv faint line! didn't get chance to do one this morn from fmu due to work but did one an hour after and was still vvvv faint! holding my wee for four hours for hopefully a stronger positive 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽just feels super early so not got hopes up

@Littleonek ohh okay! I have never had hot flushes before, completely new for me! Had to take my jacket off on the way to work at 4:30am! Had the air con on 😂 x

Everyone is different maybe this is your pregnancy symptoms. I try not to compare mine to others are everyone is different. Some people feel sick a week after getting pregnant some people take months to feel sick.

Haha I am too but this one seems worse!!

What dpo are you today? I have some cramps in my lower stomach and I keep having hot flushes apart from that I feel ok xx

I'm day 7, ive not had hot flushes before only when my period is due. Ive had two babies and both symptoms leading up to a positive were different so cant symptom spot now as I know each pregnancy is different.

6dpo today 😀 this TWW is dragging more than normal x

It always drags for me!! Im very impatient and end up always symptom spotting. Still have swollen and sensitive boobs but could be normal period symptoms as had this last month but with no period and many many negative tests.

My cramps have finally stopped had 6 days of them.

So strange! Maybe a really dodgy batch?! Probably why they're so cheap I guess!

Curlywurly3 · 08/06/2022 16:24

@Tropicana1 yep, I always do at least 15 seconds. I got a peak on them last month but hardly anything this month. I have been pregnant 3 times using CB so I know they work but I have felt so deflated this month. That Easy@Home has made me feel much better!

Tropicana1 · 08/06/2022 16:09

@Curlywurly3 did you dip for 15 seconds?

Tropicana1 · 08/06/2022 16:09

@Curlywurly3 how weird! I use those one step ones but have always had peaks on them - can't believe the difference in those two tests!

Curlywurly3 · 08/06/2022 15:53

I’ve just had some Easy@home OPK’s delivered. Look at the difference between that and the One Step! This has now led me to believe the CB was right and the One Steps were wrong, they have been light the whole of my FW! Which means I ovulated on CD10 or CD11, still earlier than my usual CD12 but makes more sense!

Sorry to waffle but this cycle has been so confusing. As I say, we only DTD once this FW, perhaps we can tonight in case the egg is still hanging around. There’s a lot to be said for just doing it every other day 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Thetractorjustmoved I'm also desperate not to test but I just know I will 🥺

@Fingerscrossed22 ooh I'm 5dpo too, my period is due 17th of June. Think we have the exact same cycle?? Haha!

@2023hopeful of course, welcome! We're all quite close together! Let's hope for some BFP's in this chat!!

@Curlywurly3 hello!! Of course, you know what they say, it only takes one! Fingers crossed you ovulated on the CD10 and you caught it!

I'm currently getting twinges in my stomach but probably over thinking it!!

My period is due 16th June so hopefully it turns up as been waiting for a period since end of April. This month I had huge eggy discharge so hopefully could be pregnant or at least have a period so I know where I am in my cycle.

Tropicana1 · 08/06/2022 13:43

@Curlywurly3 any chance your clearblue was wrong and you haven't actually ovulated yet? I would keep testing with cheapy strips until at least CD 16/17 just in case
