TWW - anyone??

So the conceive plus one is best for that then?
And I'm sorry I have no idea on what bbt is? And how to use ovulation sticks.. should I be doing all this too? If so, what ovulation sticks etc and I will read up on it.. thank you so much for your help! Xxx

@Mrsrobinsonx sounds good! Good luck 🤞🏽I’m going to do the same and test Wednesday - I still don’t have any symptoms though other than the faint line!

@Floralsandsmiles yeah definitely use a fertility one rather than a normal one if your trying to conceive.

if your cycles are regular you can probably work out roughly when your ovulating by counting 14 days back from your period to get an idea. If you want to know exactly it’s best to get ovulation sticks to see when your lh surge is, then you can time sex perfectly. Have you thought about tracking bbt? When your temp rises it means you have ovulated. I use premom app which is free (have to by thermometer and ovulation sticks) and seems to get mine bang on every month and I am very irregular. Hope that helps x

@Hopefulx thank you! I thought it had to be the fertility one as the other lubes prevent sperm from getting as far? Lol I'm so new to all this! I don't know where to start on tracking ovulation etc and all the apps etc..
I have just been recording periods each months and dates etc and then that gives me a date of next period (which is normally accurate or a few days out) am I really naive on it all and should know more? Xxx

@Hopefulx 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
AF is due on Wednesday so I’ll test again then I think. X

@Floralsandsmiles I use easy @ home, I’d recommend them as they have worked correctly for me so far. I use conceive plus for lube, the fertility ones definitely aren’t as good as normal lubes, they do dry out quicker but better than nothing 😂

@Mrsrobinsonx ah 😍 I can definitely see the line - congratulations. Hoping they stick for us. Will you do another frer in a few days?

@Mrsrobinsonx well like @Sb86 I never see the lines and I can defo see this one! Tentative congratulations!! Xxxx

@Floralsandsmiles @Sb86 thank you!
This month I haven’t actually had many symptoms, most months I’ve had more symptoms I haven’t been pregnant so they were obviously pms.
I only have slightly tender boobs, sharp pains/throbbing in my lower stomach and felt a little bit nauseas but only when I’m hungry. X

@Mrsrobinsonx do you have any symptoms?

@Mrsrobinsonx I can see that and I struggle to see a lot that are posted on here. Fingers crossed for that line progression 🤞🏼

@Mrsrobinsonx I can see this!! Xx

.

@Hopefulx Got another faint line on a cheapy test and faint line on frer but sooo faint so I’m not sure.
praying for a sticky one 🤞🏻🤞🏻
don’t even think you can see anything on the pic but I’ll post it anyway 🥺

Hi ladies! What cheapie sticks would you recommend (at the start of the TTC 2DC).
Also would you say that conceive plus lubricant is better than pre seed? Or the other way round? Xxx

@Mrsrobinsonx hey! How did you get on did you do a FRER this morning?
I did one today (11 DPO) and the line is faint pink but a lot more visible now which is positive. I don’t know why but I still feel worried but got to relax and enjoy it as everything may be ok 🤞🏽

@Sb86 & @PrimarilyParented got my fingers crossed for both of you! 🙏🏽 hopeful to see some more lines over the next week or so!

I wonder how everyone else on the thread is getting on! @AROSE9 how are you getting on?

@Hopefulx going to wait and see if af arrives, I have tested early before and been downhearted seeing nothing. I'm either going to be pregnant or not, I don't have any plans for the weekend so I don't need to test early to see if I can have a drink. Got brother in laws 40th the weekend after though, really hope I can't drink for it, people might start questioning things as it's a bottomless brunch 😅

@PrimarilyParented thankyou, you too!!

@Mrsrobinsonx that’s such exciting news that there’s a line, I’m so hoping yours is a BFP and there’s two BFP and this is a lucky month for you as well as @Sb86

i think I’m around 7dpo but I could be less or more as I don’t temp and didn’t even use ovulation tests regularly. Cd14 almost no second line on opk, cd16 a strong line, by cd17 the line was weaker and cd18 it was almost gone again so I just figure I ovulated somewhere in the 16-18 day region.

@Hopefulx I think I’ll do a frer tomorrow.
I’m scared but also really hopeful 🤞🏻

@Mrsrobinsonx ah fingers crossed this is it for you too! Mine was like that it was so faint but it’s still faint but it is getting more noticeable. If you have the cheapies easy @ home tests, I’d just test every morning
so can see if there is line progression. Sending you all the positive vibes!

@Sb86 temping can add to the stress I completely agree. I said I wasn’t going to test this time round but then we didn’t dtd much so I already thought I was out lol Will you start testing before or just wait for af to arrive or to not arrive!

Ah I see @Hopefulx that's fair enough, any little thing is enough to excuse us to do a test isn't it haha. I haven't temped this month as I found it kind of added to the stress. We've done all we can do just hope that nature does it's job 🤞🏼 but will defo keep you updated. I think af is due around next Sat so we shall see if anything changes this week in terms of symptoms and see if af rears it's ugly head 😒

Fingers crossed @Mrsrobinsonx do another test Tuesday if you can wait til then and the line should be more visible 🤞🏼

@Hopefulx i am 11dpo and AF due on Wednesday.
I tested today and think there’s a faint line, but it’s so faint in person so I won’t be convinced for a while. Praying this is it 🤞🏻

@Mrsrobinsonx how many DPO are you? That’s sounds like a good sign. Keeping everything crossed for you! When is af due? Are you going to test?

@PrimarilyParented thank you! I’m trying not to get ahead of myself though, last time I started planning everything in my mind and miscarried at 6 weeks. So trying to be more relaxed but it’s so hard. Keeping my fingers crossed for you! When will you start testing?

@Sb86 the only thing that was odd, was my temp dropped on 8DPO by about 0.2 and then shot back up on 9DPO so I was a bit curious so did a test. I usually start testing on 9 DPO though as I can’t stop myself. I keep reading that it’s so unlikely to actually have any preg symptoms before as too early, usually just the progesterone kicking in! Glad you feel relaxed! Keep us updated 🤞🏽

Eeeek congratulations @Hopefulx fingers crossed everything progresses how it should 😊 what made you do a test initially? I noticed you said you have no symptoms. Only thing I've noticed this month is really tender nipples but not my boobs. I feel so much more relaxed about it all though

Congratulations @Hopefulx thats amazing news! So excited for you x

@Mrsrobinsonx no symptoms for me either, I’m trying to stay calm as it’s on cycle 2 of ttc and I know it normally takes longer than 2 cycles even if everything is fine. I’m still so so hopeful that this is our month but distracting myself with other things as there’s really nothing more I can do this month.
