@WDWY Last cycle I caved and tested a few days early, which just ended up disappointing me twice when I got a negative then held onto the little bit of hope that it was just too early until AF arrived. So I don't want to do that to myself again. Time feels so slow though. I think waiting a year and a half for my partner to agree to TTC took up all my patience and ability to distract myself 😂

WDWY · 21/06/2022 06:36

@Camia with regards to testing, last cycle I just told myself that I had to wait until the first day of missed period. I put that date in my diary and just didn't let myself test early! I know I'm the kind of person that would see what I want to see, and I recognise that it could actually make me more anxious interpreting multiple tests. AF ended up coming anyway!
With symptom spotting though, that's much harder to put out of mind because we live in our bodies! I would say every time you spot a symptom, get excited but then also acknowledge that it could be related to something else. The number of times I've felt misty eyed over an abdo twinge and it's ended up being gas 😂. But it's normal to be excited!

Ooooh 😃 🤞🏼 @MountainMummy95!

I had a surprise static smiley yesterday so I’ll have ovulated by this time tomorrow (last time I had a full 48hrs from smiley to ovulation!). Heeeere we go again!

Anyone else starting their TWW today/tomorrow?

Camia · 21/06/2022 04:34

How does everyone talk themselves out of symptom spotting and wanting to test early? I'm 8dpo and had some light cramps and the tiniest little bit of spotting so of course now I'm getting my hopes way up when I know I shouldn't. I'm not the most patient person with things like this

Charl881 · 20/06/2022 20:36

That definitely looks like a very early positive!

Tropicana1 · 20/06/2022 20:32

@MountainMummy95 I can!!!

Mummyme87 · 20/06/2022 20:05

@MountainMummy95 definitely looks very positive! I would expect a decent line tomorrow with FMU!

WDWY · 20/06/2022 19:32

@MountainMummy95 if you can wait another couple of days then probably worth it! Good luck! Anyone else testing soon? My cycles are so long, I'll be the last one left on the TTC March 2023 group 😂. Thanks to those who replied about the flashing faces with the Clearblue - useful to know there's variation with the oestrogen peak. @BiscuitLover3678 I know I love the digital kit, even though it hasn't made me pregnant yet.

Angie2018 · 20/06/2022 18:57

@MountainMummy95 maybe do another tomorrow with FMU and if it's still there it's likely to be a positive!!

tulipsunday · 20/06/2022 18:56

I can see something! 🤞great result if so for 9dpo.

MountainMummy95 · 20/06/2022 18:32

Angie2018 · 20/06/2022 18:30

What dpo are you? It looks positive !!

9dpo... wasnt fmu, was literally just a post-dinner pee. But I just couldnt help myself.

MountainMummy95 · 20/06/2022 18:18

Heeeelllppppppp.... can you see something??? I think I can... is it an evap??? Ahhhh.... this is the issue with testing early 🙈🙈🙈

I use Cheap OPK, easy at home and the premom app. My cm isn’t reliable enough to go without and my cycle varies

tulipsunday · 20/06/2022 13:16

@WDWY I got two flashing before static this time. When TTC first child I remember I sometimes got a few more before the static. I did start a bit later in the month with using them this time which may mean why less.

ExPatHereForAChat · 20/06/2022 12:55

I used the clearblue for quite a few months and would either get 1 or 2 flashies before a static (once I went from nothing to static!).

I'd use cheapies at the same time and, to be fair, my ov day has been day 13 or 14 most months recently so it's fairly predictable.

My monitor broke last month so I'm sticking to cheapies now to save money.

I’m tempted to go back to clear blue digital. Just so expensive on top of vitamins and tests etc

I tend to use them for a few months and only test for the days around ov

@Mummyme87 Agree! I made the mistake of buying the kit thinking the refills would be cheap... not the case! I didn't realise how pricey it would be but I didn't get on with monitoring CM, and I envy those who get definitive CM differences in the month. Would appreciate anyone's experience of using the Clearblue Digital and knowing how many smily face flashy days and static days people tend to show up in their cycle!

I just get the static smiley and it does seem to show - matched my cm last month (although my cm also varies and I’m not great at checking). Saying all that I didn’t get pregnant did I. 😂 we’ve been really busy and then away so haven’t tracked anything this month apart from using my apps.

DTD yesterday and I ovulate tomorrow or Wednesday so here’s hoping. I’ll try and do it again tonight.

@tulipsunday this was so reassuring to hear! I just got the flashing smiley face today (CD15). How many days do you tend to get the flashing face before the static face? Not a brand pusher, but I am loving the digital reader for its clarity.

vitahelp · 20/06/2022 10:33

Had another temp rise this morning so quite certain I’m 2dpo. No symptoms yet but sure I’ll imagine some at some stage! Feeling quite calm so far but know I’ll start obsessing when it gets to potential implantation stage!

tulipsunday · 20/06/2022 09:36

@WDWY I had static smiley day 16 this month so assume ovulation on day 17 hopefully yours will come soon
