TWW starts now.. Anyone testing 1st August?

@Nita19 ohh good I'm glad it's not just me!! Well AF is due around the 28th, but I'm going to try and wait to test if I am late. That's such a good idea, I have so many pregnancy tests in the house I will probably end up testing early! When will you?

@Donutworryaboutit don't worry you still have 2 goes within the 5 days so don't loose hope!

I still do my ovulation sticks and temp in my 2WW. My temp dropped a bit again today and my stick is a little darker than yesterday so gonna DTD again for a few case in case I didn't actually release an egg 4 days ago. I've had it a few times on the last my body has had another go a few days later. Probably because I'm 39 and it's forgetting what to do 😂 x

@EdinburghGirl1 woop woop! Keeping my fingers crossed for you ☺️ Glad we have this little board to talk to each other

@Donutworryaboutit sorry I'm not an expert when it comes to temping but could that spike not be that you have just ovulated? Others might be able to help you more.

I am now officially in the tww 1DPO. DTD the last 3 days so hoping to be successful this month

Morning ladies. So my temp shifted back up today and has now moved my ovulation date to Saturday 😑my partner is away now and we dtd Tuesday and Wednesday so thinking I may be out this month.

there’s always next month!

how’s everyone else?

@LittleDoveLove I really hope it is an implantation dip, especially combined with the bloating and feeling sickly. But I’m really trying not to get my hopes up. I hope my temp goes up again tomorrow!

@vitahelp I had a temp dip my last pregnancy around 7/8 days DPO and was an implantation dip so fingers crossed for you 🤞

@Donutworryaboutit I have done BBT for a while, it might be a slight dip just before but really you can't tell until after a few days after as it will dip slightly and then continue to rise, I have found it helpful in knowing I have in conjunction with the sticks and also to see if there is a pattern to which day I ovulate 😊

@Staceyhelen I'm 6dpo today too and being SO impatient. I'm feeling every single niggle and hoping and preying it means something but also trying not to get my hopes up! I purposely haven't ordered any tests yet so that I don't test too early!! When are you going to test?

👋🏻👋🏻 I'll be testing on 3rd/4th August✨

How is everyone doing? I am 6DPO today and getting very impatient! This TWW feels even longer than last month 😩

@Mum032019 that all sounds like it could be good signs! I have read comments from people other chats who have had negative tests before getting their positive so fingers crossed for you 🤞 keep us updated!

I’m jumping the gun a bit as I know others are testing beginning of August but this is the closest timing I have. My period is now 4 - 6 days late, 4 if we give it a little bit of room for error but it’s normally like clockwork with the app I use. My boobs kill and I feel very very sick although it’s probably too early for that to be pregnancy, but 3 negative tests (tested from day 1 of missed period). DTD on peak ovulation day and before that too (that was 2 weeks ago). Also afterwards. Any thoughts? Is it too early to test? Or just a delayed period taunting me! Thanks.

@Donutworryaboutit Yes very similar. I don't temp, although I did the month I conceived my DD 6 years ago. As the other's have said, the dip is usually just before ovulation then it spikes. This happened for my when I conceived then it stayed elevated until my bfp

@vitahelp ah okay! Fingers crossed then, thank hot for the insight. Hope you are feeling better after Covid!

@Donutworryaboutit I think the temp dip can occur right before ovulation, usually the day before. If you get a sharp rise tomorrow it would suggest ovulation has happened.
I got a dip before ovulation last month (didn't happen this month but had covid so temps were all over the place. I also noticed a pre-ovulation dip when I was trying for my daughter 5 years ago.

hi @EdinburghGirl1 welcome! We are in similar situations I have an almost 4yo from previous marriage and took about 5/6 cycles to conceive. This is my new partners first. I am 32.

Now I am overthinking… my temp was super low this morning and no idea why. Is that normal before/during ovulation?

Does anyone else temp chart? I’m still learning and any insight would be good!

Sorry to hear @LittleDoveLove :( I keep reading you are more fertile after MC but not sure how true or why that is! I had a negative test quite soon after and My cycle seemed to come back pretty normal with ovulation (opk and EWCM I don’t temp) so hopefully back on track for trying again. Still so sad about though :(

Hi everyone, I'm hoping I can join in. I had a positive OPK test yesterday morning so thinking I will ovulate today. Managed to DTD Sunday, Tuesday and last night. Will try again tonight hopefully and then the dreaded tww begins. It's my second month ttc#2. I have a 5 year old with my ex husband but this will be my partner's first. Feeling positive but also realistic. It took 4 cycles to conceive my daughter so have that in the back of my mind and know it can take a lot longer, especially as I'm now 37. Will be nice to have some company to keep me going during the wait

Morning ladies I got a positive OPK this morning but a temp dip… not really sure what that means but hoping it’s a good thing! Will see temps tomorrow.

how are we all feeling?

Morning ladies, the bloating has gone today and my BBT has dropped a bit so I’m not feeling too hopeful right now. It is probably a bit early for the temp drop to be AF coming (7/8dpo today) but I think if I was pregnant it would be staying high..

@journeyttc sending you hugs. I know how you feel the same happened to me. Last month was my first month after a MMC at 9 weeks. Fingers crossed for you 🤞

Hi All, I am 2 DPO now, I find it hard not to symptom spot too! I don't think I've ever waited the 2 weeks to test 😂

Thank you @GeorgiaGK and fingers crossed for us both! Symptom spotting is sooo hard, trying not to look into every little feeling!

@journeyttc oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that 😞 I've got my fingers crossed for you🤞

@vitahelp I'm 4DPO at the mo so haven't really had many symptoms. I've had a bit of a break out on my skin so I was Googling that earlier 😆 although wouldn't have even implanted yet if this was my lucky month! Really hope the bloating is a good sign for you!!

Hope everyone is feeling ok and not overthinking too much.
I’m a lot calmer this 2WW than last time. Been working in a different office today though and catching up after holiday so not had much time to think. BUT I’m so so bloated today and not enjoyed any food/no appetite..I know it’s probably the weather and my stomach can be sensitive sometimes but I’m starting to get my hopes up that it’s a sign..trying my best to chill out, I’m only 6/7dpo..
