TWW Buddies..

@Mrsrobinsonx nice to hear from you! Still no AF or ovulation it seems ☹️ here is my LH tests over the recent days. I didn't think being unwell would affect things so much, beginning to get worried now.

I hope you get some good news soon x

I've just ordered a bulk load of cheap pregnancy tests from Amazon that will be here ready for me to start poas from about 11/12 dpo... better than last month where I only had the 25mui tests that would have been useless!

@SimplyChic how’s the testing going?
I know we was due af around the same time last cycle and I’m pretty much nearing my peak opk’s now! Wondered if you’ve had yours? X

@Downtherabbithole83 not a single symtom of AF. iv used early detection tests and they were all negative :( I definately ovulated on the usual day I do the testing. I would love this to be a sign im going to get a little surprise it's just so unlike my AF! I guess it's only one day late in reality

@cdn298 sorry that it was negative this morning. The other line looks like it could possibly be an evap or indent line (I forget which is which) as there is no colour on it. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you though.

@Livingonhope do you have any of your normal AF symptoms? I know some people say they have had a late positive - have you used one of the early detection tests just in case the hcg levels haven’t got that high yet? Could you have ovulated any later than you thought?

AF was due yesterday and no sign but negative test I have never had this anyone any words of advice?I def ovulated so am expecting AF and its never late

@Pitstop1986 fingers crossed you get your ewcm today x

@Pitstop1986 I’m on CD12 now so going to take a opk today and see if I’m anywhere near! 🤞🏻

Hoping you get a clear positive with fmu @cdn298 I think it's high time we had another pregnancy on this thread!

How's everyone else getting on?

I've still not noticed any ewcm. Sorry if tmi but I usually get quite a lot and it's very stretchy, so I always know around my fertile period.

Did last night, and will again tonight, but then won't get chance for the next few days. The more I tell myself I'm out this month and will try properly next month, the more that my brain laughs at me and tries to turn me into a crazy symptom spotter anyway! 🤣

@cdn298 probably just a bad batch for me it was first I had used them I usually go for others! keep us posted!x

@cdn298 I had these tests as well these week and they gave me faint lines but everything else is negative AF due tomorrow I think it was a bad bunch of tests so wishing you better luck than I had xx

@Pitstop1986 and @MrsL22 I think it’s pretty clear from speaking to people on here that tracking often doesn’t seem to help either so an stress-free month sounds like a great idea! Hopefully this month is the month for all of us, however it’s achieved!

@MrsSprouse hope the cramps aren’t too uncomfortable and that it’s a good sign!

@MrsL22 sometimes trying without keeping track of things is the best way to stay sane. Years ago my gynecologist said the best way to try is yo not track anything and just dtd every other day. Good luck x

About 5dpo here and having really bad cramps. Trying not to read too much into it as I do have endometriosis so often get cramps out of nowhere, plus I don't remember when my pre-BFP cramps started with my DC1. Staying hopeful

I’ve not really been checking for CM. Maybe I’ve taken too much pressure off and I’ve got no hope 🙈 it’ll be a miracle if I fall pregnant this month

I'm cd16 and still haven't noticed any ewcm... I usually get it from cd14-18 so this is strange for me. Haven't dtd for 3 days as well. I'm not helping myself! Going to jump on DH tonight and hope for the best.

I'd kind of written off this month anyway, but in my head I just thought this isn't the month for me to get pregnant. I didn't expect my body to follow suit and go yeah, if we're not getting pregnant I just won't bother making ewcm or ovulating! Haha

@MrsL22 I conceived my two children without the use of opks - trying the moment I spotted ewcm was the way that worked for me. I use them now because I like the sense of control they give me and I’d heard that cycles were sometimes a bit unpredictable after tfmr.

Hopefully a more relaxed month will work for you! 🤞 indeed! xx

I can’t help but feel like I’m missing out this month not doing OPKs 🙈 currently CD15 and so far dtd CD8, 12 and 13. Will go again tonight and hopefully every other for another week or so. I have a 30-33 day cycle so usually ovulate around CD16-18 🤞🏼 less thought and pressure this month helps our chances 🙈

I’d keep monitoring with the cheapies just to see if the line gets darker or lighter to check if the peak has happened or not yet… I guess dtd again couldn’t hurt, right? 😉

Hi ladies, I’m cd16 today and am using cb ov tests for the first time. Days 9-14 I got empty circle and then yesterday it went to solid smiley. Did I jump straight to peak? I’ve added photos of todays tests, I took the cb stick out to look at the line and compared it to a cheapy ov test.
Dtd yesterday morning and this morning (happy it was a weekend!) would you go again tomorrow to be sure?

@MrsSprouse @Mrsrobinsonx thank you both, I'll do another in the early afternoon and see if I can make my urine a bit more potent.

@Mrsrobinsonx so can the LH surge happen quite suddenly? I'm hoping if so, I still have a chance over the next few days, unless I just ovulate late in my cycle 🤷‍♀️
