I technically ovulated around the 31st August. So I’m 6DPO, only symptoms I have had are some light cramping, some bloating. But concerned by the lack of CM because I remember I had a lot early on when I conceived him 🤷🏼‍♀️

please feel free to share own symptoms while we wait 😩 I’m going to drive myself mad

@Aqua567 @anotherscroller yay, so glad we will all be in it together!!

aqua- I’ve also been emotional, though 7 days til AF so could be that 😅
your symptoms sound very very promising though! How exciting

Also testing on Sunday, but the 8dpo so not expecting much. Nice to have company though

Aqua567 · 08/09/2022 20:12

@Mamaandbub I shall join you and @MillieKitty in testing on Sunday as well :)

Aqua567 · 08/09/2022 20:11

I’ve been very emotional today. My partner hasn’t really seen me cry but I have cried twice this evening over the queens passing.

He also noticed that my boobs are looking larger (typical he’d notice that!) and my nipples in particular look very large and almost a brown colour.

i hope this is it!

@Aqua90 welcome! Another ovulation twin

those sound promising symptoms!

I’ve just got bloating, craps and vivid dreams!

i did feel very tired today but we did her home from holiday a few days ago so think it’s more that!

keep us updated! I think @MillieKitty and I are now waiting until Sunday to test again

@Aqua90 hello and welcome! I ovulated either the same day as you or the day after, I've been having cramps even though it's ages until my period and creamy CM, I had a chemical last month and I remember tummy pains around 6dpo so around this time! But probably reading into it 😂 I did a test too also but with a cheap one and was negative, it's so hard waiting isn't it

Hi everyone, hoping to jump in on here as I am in same TWW.

i ovulated on 31st august, making me 8dpo today.

We aren’t trying, but we are also not NOT trying if that makes sense. (Which means we are basically trying but without putting labels on as I think that makes my partner feel pressured!)

i stupidly did a test today with one of those conceive plus tests which is supposed to have the same sensitivity as a FRER. Obviously negative, 😂 I just had a sudden urge to test even though I knew it’s too early.

has anyone had any symptoms so far?

Today I’ve had a very heavy feeling in my boobs, the odd very faint twinge - almost as if I need to go to the toilet but then it goes away.

I’ve also felt exhausted today and slightly nauseous but I am always tired so hard to take that as a positive sign lol.

keeping my fingers crossed for everyone

Thanks @MillieKitty and @Mamaandbub I’m off work for a week (from today) too, so even more on edge than I would normally be! Too much time to think!🤦‍♀️

@Mamaandbub well mine was BFN so not testing again now until Sunday 😆

@MillieKitty Yes I think I’ll wait until Sunday! I actually don’t have much hope but I think I’ll get a more accurate result then!

OP posts:
MillieKitty · 08/09/2022 11:48

@Mamaandbub ah yes so faint but something is there! Is it Sunday you'll test next? 🤞🏼

The bottom one is today… feel like it’s got the tiniest amount of pink but not really any darker. I think I’ll stop resting until I’m 10/11DPO now 🤣🤣

@Mushroo sorry to hear about your AF! Super good luck for October 🥰

@AgeGapBbe welcome, it’s a long old wait isn’t it 😩

@MillieKitty let me know how it goes! I did another today and there’s still deffo a line but so faint 😩

MillieKitty · 08/09/2022 10:23

@Mamaandbub I don't really feel any sort of symptoms today except mild cramping but my cramps were so bad yday I can't see how I could be pregnant but you never know, my tests arrive later so I might test today, you gave me hope with your faint line 7dpo!

@Mushroo sorry to hear about AF! Hope she isn't too bad and hope to hear from you in October!

@AgeGapBbe
The wait is the worst, but you can go crazy with us 😆

AgeGapBbe · 08/09/2022 10:13

We were due to dtd the night before last, (we don’t normally book it in but it had been a little while!) I thought I’d do an ovulation test before I went up to bed and it was peak! So I’m now 1-2 dpo… the wait begins! It’s hard not to read too much into the slightest feeling. I’m feeling a bit crampy again today- the same as yesterday. It’s going to be a long 2 weeks… 🤦‍♀️

Mushroo · 08/09/2022 10:08

I’m out! AF arrived this morning! For the best really, but will be properly trying in October so I’ll be back then haha!

Best of luck to everyone else - hope we get some happy outcomes!

@Gregorian1 yes it’s far to faint to see if there’s colour or not!

i think that sounds positive! I don’t even get indents with FRERs normally!
