Hi,

Currently trying for DC 2, already have a 2 year old DS.

I should have ovulated today 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Anyone else entering the TWW? Due AF 7th Jan but will probably end up testing a couple days before 😄

@SimplyChic glad to hear something is happening for you. Keep us updated!

Mrsrobinsonx · 02/02/2023 18:44

@SimplyChic hoping you get a definite period or bfp soon 😂🤞🏻 x

SimplyChic · 02/02/2023 18:25

Well I have started getting some brown discharge this afternoon while at work. Didn't feel any cramping and my app predicts AF to not be here until the 5th. Boobs have been sore too but these are classic AF symptoms for me. Although not sure why it's began a little earlier. Maybe as I skipped last cycle?

Mrsrobinsonx · 02/02/2023 18:11

@Downtherabbithole83 that test looks good to me. How exciting x

MrsL22 · 02/02/2023 18:07

@Downtherabbithole83 That’s great! Keep us updated with your progression. X

Downtherabbithole83 · 02/02/2023 17:55

@MrsL22 I’m 10dpo according to my app but I think it’s more likely to be 11dpo based on the time of day I had my peak.

MrsL22 · 02/02/2023 17:47

@Downtherabbithole83 thats really promising!!!
How many dpo are you?

Downtherabbithole83 · 02/02/2023 16:54

Thanks everyone - I’m pleased that we caught and have my fingers crossed that it develops but I have a lot of period-type back pain still.

I took this one earlier today…

@Downtherabbithole83 Thanks, think I will give it a short break. I rarely notice any EWCM, usually just more wet than usual, which I also got when I was supposedly due to ovulate this month (if my cycle continues as normal and skipped one AF) so hopefully a good sign 🙂

Downtherabbithole83 · 02/02/2023 12:26

@SimplyChic I think that one’s up to you and I am by no means an expert! You could always stop if it’s stressing you out and then take one if you notice ewcm?

SimplyChic · 02/02/2023 11:59

@Downtherabbithole83 thank you. Do you think I should wait until I expect next AF and stop the OPK's for a few days until I expect it? Don't want to waste the tests

Pitstop1986 · 02/02/2023 11:29

@30mummy I had faint lines with DD even after my missed period. That was with coop tests. I then did a clearblue and got a clearer line, albeit still not as strong as you'd expect from 5 weeks pregnant

30mummy · 02/02/2023 09:50

@Pitstop1986 thank you! My AF is due on Saturday so I'm going to wait until Sunday. Its very strange.. you think once you have that positive you're fine.
The lines actually look lighter on the photo and obviously the first 3 have dried, there not really squinters but don't seem to be going dark!

Baby dust to all!!

Pitstop1986 · 02/02/2023 09:02

@30mummy I'd step away from the tests for a couple of days or you'll drive yourself mad. Can you book yourself in for a mani/pedi or a massage for a pamper to relax yourself and take your mind off things?

thetests can fluctuate in darkness depending on how hydrated you are and the time of the day that you test. Try not to worry. (Easier said than done) sending hugs

Pitstop1986 · 02/02/2023 08:58

@Downtherabbithole83 I definitely see something! This is so exciting. I love seeing all of these positive pregnancy tests! It really puts a smile on my face! You'll have to update tomorrow with a stronger line!

I'm guessing that I'm 5dpo and for the last 4 days I've had long shifts keeping me busy, however now I'm off until Sunday so am going to be driving myself mad symptom spotting!

Mrsrobinsonx · 02/02/2023 08:54

@Downtherabbithole83 that looks like an early positive to me! 👏

@30mummy I’ve heard that every test has different amount of dye in it so not to worry about darkness, however if they get lighter or turn negative it could mean chemical x

MrsL22 · 02/02/2023 06:54

@Downtherabbithole83 that definitely looks like a faint line to me! Fingers crossed it carries on 🤞🏼

@30mummy don’t be disheartened. I would just leave it now for a few days - try not to add stress. If they start getting lighter then I would begin to question it as with my CP they just got lighter and lighter.

After trying for a relaxed month of no tracking etc… I’m in the tww and driving myself mad.
Think I ovulated on Friday from just reading my bodies signs (ewcm Thursday, right sided pains on Friday) and since Sunday my boobs have been sore and nipples tender which I never get. I know it’s too soon for me to actually be pregnant yet but just kicking myself because I’ve done so well with the no stress thing and now I’m back to symptom spotting and living my life on google 🙈

30mummy · 02/02/2023 06:14

Thank you all for the well wishes!

@Downtherabbithole83 that looks like a very faint line that I got which made me get some frers.

Im 12dpo today and my line isnt getting any darker? Is this normal? Sorry this is my first and from what im searching they normally get darker? From top to bottom its 9-12 x

Downtherabbithole83 · 02/02/2023 05:20

@SimplyChic when I first used opks I discovered I was usually ovulated 2 days earlier than my app suggested so maybe this would explain it? At least if AF arrives you can start monitoring LH slightly earlier in that cycle and hopefully put your mind at rest? xx

Downtherabbithole83 · 02/02/2023 05:07

10 dpo and I think I see something… but I’m not convinced it isn’t just an evap. Took an LH test as well because I’ve seen that they sometimes get darker too as hcg levels increase…

I’ve been having really bad cramps and assumed AF was coming earlier than I expected as I’ve got no other symptoms at all.

What do you think ladies?

TWW Buddies..
SimplyChic · 01/02/2023 22:10

On the plus side I think AF may be on her way as feeling some PMS this week (bloating, irritable, tired and acne, random nip pains, headaches and backpain), it's entirely possible I missed my peak as I started the OPK's the night before predicted ovulation (if my app is correct) and there was a high chance of me not using them correctly based on my knowledge so far. I will wait and see 🙂

Mrsrobinsonx · 31/01/2023 19:18

I’ve had like a sharp pain in my right side this morning when I got up and then just not really ‘pain’ but I’m very aware there’s something going on there like a niggly feeling. Too early for implantation or anything though so who knows! X

MrsL22 · 31/01/2023 18:38

@30mummy this is amazing! Congratulations. Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy 💕

Here’s hoping we get a few more BFPs from this group this month 🤞🏼🥰

Pitstop1986 · 31/01/2023 14:09

I think for me ovulation was Saturday. I got ewcm on Saturday morning, then on Sunday it had turned to more thick and creamy, which usually happens just after ovulation. So I think I'm 3dpo?

Af was meant to be due on the 8th, but could be later seeing how I ovulated late. I think I'm going to test next Tuesday, although I'm not holding much hope for this month. Everything seems a bit out of whack. Back on the clearblue ovulation test next month, so at least I know when I'm in my fertile window!

MrsSprouse · 31/01/2023 13:29

@SimplyChic I hope you get a peak or AF before March otherwise speaking to the GP sounds like the right move.

@30mummy Congratulations!!

AF due on Friday. I thought yesterday spotting was a one off, but I am also having some today again so I really think I'm out this cycle.
