TWW Buddies..

@Pitstop1986 Yes definitely! The sperm can stay up to 5 days.. :)

Pretty sure that I ovulated yesterday, although ran out of test strips on Tuesday (typical!) so I'm going off cervical mucus changing from ewcm mon- yesterday to sticky today and left lower abdominal pains yesterday...

We dtd on Sunday, but not since, as DH is dying of Covid and can't possibly move or do anything.

Do I still have a chance dtd 3 days before ovulation?

@Mrsrobinsonx ahh really? I had a really bad week last week (i do have a UTI too, but on antibiotics now) I'm 5 weeks today and i don't really feel anything, My boobs are still a bit tender but that's honestly it. I have been having a little bit of Nausea but mainly when I get in bed to sleep. I got a 3+ on clearblue today but it still doesn't feel real.

@Pitstop1986 Awww sorry to hear that! Hopefully you both perk up a little bit!

@30mummy Thank you!
I’m ok, so far I just have slight nausea/acid reflux and really tired 😴 just generally feeling a bit off but will take this before it gets worse 😅 did my first digital yesterday and got 2-3 so looking good I think! How are you?

@Pitstop1986 oh no! I hope you both feel a little better before ovulation, maybe you can do the spooning position so neither of you move much 🤣

I've got some lovely ewcm going on! Looks like I'm due to ovulate! Unfortunately rubbish timing as me a DH are in bed with covid. He can't even roll over without feeling sick, so a BD is out of the question! Might not be my month this month either!

Congratulations @Mrsrobinsonx.. How are you?

That’s super news @Mrsrobinsonx - more and more BFPs for our little starting group.

Sorry to hear your cycle has been nuts @Pitstop1986 . Why can’t our bodies just be straightforward?

Aaaahhhhh! @Mrsrobinsonx congratulations!!!! That's fantastic news! I am thrilled for you! Let's hope that line carries on getting darker and you have a healthy, happy pregnancy!

My EWCM has gone awol again... I should have ovulated yesterday, but no sign of it on ovulation tests or with my CM... I have no idea what's going on with me! I've started taking a couple of new supplements and cut out junk, but these should have had a positive impact on my fertility, not messed up my cycle! I'm trying to be relaxed, as stress isn't going to help anything, buy I'm getting quite worked up and spending my time googling what's going on/things to help fertility, etc...

I have a 12 hour shift at work tomorrow, so at least that's a day that I won't be obsessing over my failing reproductive organs! Haha

I caved and tested today at 12dpo….
I think I got my bfp 😭 although after the chemicals I’m very wary, but I have a good feeling about this 🤞🏻

ahhh I’m sorry 🥺 I hope next month is a better outcome @Downtherabbithole83

how are you @Pitstop1986 ?

AF due tomorrow - took a test today (already expecting negative) as wanted to take some medication that wouldn’t have been suitable if I was preggo and got a bfn as expected. Sad for a second but pleased to take the medication 🤷‍♀️

On to next month for me. Disappointing after last month’s chemical but no point dwelling on it. Hope everyone else is okay.

How's everyone doing?

@Downtherabbithole83 @Mrsrobinsonx any news?

@Pitstop1986 yes I’m trying to!
AF isn’t due until Monday so it’s a long wait 😬 I may cave before then but I hope not 🤣

@Pitstop1986 yes-ish… I’ve been doing opks as I know they indicate a possible positive if the levels rise but they’re still super low. Strangely it’s much less disappointing than doing an actual hcg test (and cheaper!) and has stopped my getting my hopes up.

I’ve also had thrush (sorry, tmi?) this month and can’t seem to completely clear it so I’ve treated twice for that as well as not being in the mood so all in all… not my month.

But no point moping… onwards and upwards, right?

I'm still eating chocolate, it's just 85% dark chocolate 😇

Are you both waiting for a late AF to test @Mrsrobinsonx and @Downtherabbithole83 ?

I've got my fingers crossed for you both. Let's see some more positive lines!!!

10dpo here @Mrsrobinsonx but no signs of anything this month. We only dtd once in my fertile window so I’m not hopeful.

@30mummy those lines look amazing!

@Pitstop1986 so impressed by your commitment. Work stress has got me eating way too much chocolate at the moment…

@30mummy soo pleased for you 😍
I am 9dpo today and becoming inpatient already, just got to get through to next week 😂

@Pitstop1986 I have 1 CB left and was going to do that on Thursday.. the doctors have called an booked an appointment for thursday with my frequent urination every 30 minutes and not sleeping because of it.. its awful as its just a bit of reassurance at the moment..

Dye stealer today @30mummy I think beyond doubt this bean has stuck! Huge congratulations! Are you going to do a clearblue digital so that you can see the 2-3 weeks and calm your anxiety a bit or are you happy now you've seen such a strong line?

@Pitstop1986 ahh thank you! My fingers are crossed for you this cycle!!
I had such a bad night last night, i didnt sleep until 3am, going the toilet every hour. My GP told me go to the walk in as they 'dont do samples' and its not a uti. Hope everything is okay with this sticky bean!!

Bottom - 16dpo today!

No EWCM yet, but my clearblue showed a flashy smiley, so we DTD this morning and hopefully will do every other day now until I'm sure that ovulation has happened (every day is too much for DH, every other day is a push as is!)

@30mummy that line progression looks really promising! I think thatbyour bean is definitely a sticky one!

I've been on my health kick for over 2 weeks now- no gluten, cow dairy, soy or processed/junk foods. I've even incorporated a few extra supplements and bone broth (did some research and apparently this is a superfood?!) DH thinks I've gone mad with the bone broth, but fully supports the detox diet, although not do much do that he'll join me on it, he still tucks into a bar of chocolate, a mocha or a gin of an evening!

I'm on CD 14 and no signs of ovulation yet, I usually ovulate CD 17/18 and get a good 3/4 days of ewcm. My clearblue ovulation tracker is also showing a blank circle still... I hope that this diet hasn't delayed ovulation!!! At least it's giving me something else to focus on other than waiting for ovulation/going mad during the TWW

@Mrsrobinsonx Definitely! I'm the exact same, I'm not even ringing the doctors until i get 2-3 weeks and may call them next week. It's awful thinking like this. Hope you're okay though, hopefully you get your sticky bean this month! My fingers are crossed for you x

@30mummy Fingers crossed for you! They look really good to me though ☺️

Yeah the 1st time I didn’t really know what had happened at first but the second one I was expecting it and just kept telling myself it would go wrong and it did. So weird that a positive test doesn’t really mean much to me now 🥺 probably take me weeks and weeks to believe it if it does happen!
thank you! 🙏🏻

@Mrsrobinsonx Thank you! Aww really, are you okay? Mine was last month and the lines were noticeable but not this dark. My clearblue didn't move from 1-2 either, so i am hoping to see 2-3 this week. Hope you get your BFP this month, there's nothing worse than the waiting around. Its really hard isn't it? It really upset me last time so I didn't want to then I wanted to because we are trying for our first and if there are any problems we would rather catch them earlier? Baby dust to you!

@30mummy hey! Congratulations! Those are amazing lines. I’ve had 2 chemicals now and they never got as dark as that.

my last chemical was last month so I’m praying for a sticky one soon 🤞🏻 I’m the same as you, I’m not planning on testing early but then I also want to know if I have another chemical as my doctor said if I have one more they will investigate. So I’m torn a little xx
