TTC October baby 🍁🎃👻

@TunnocksTCake Well I'm not 100% sure, I think I'm approx 10/11 DPO, but AF not due for a week. Who knows! I'm just worried it's my hormones playing tricks on me. I'm sure this time next week I'll know one way or another. I'm tempted to test again first thing tomorrow, but I really should wait - which I'm not very good at.

@SidSparrow how many dpo are you? I am also going crazy in this tww, its awful!

@Teaplease29 Congrats!! thats a great line progression.
Im also 9DPO and had to stop myself testing, I feel so nauseous today.
Did you have any symptoms that made you test so early?

I took a test and got a BFN, but the pee was like water after I'd been drinking tea and water all morning. I still feel like I could be, when I'm getting hungry I'm feeling a bit sick. However, I am aware that all of this could be normal before AF. TWW is driving me insane.

Couldn’t sleep last night and felt so anxious that I had a false positive - took another frer this morning - 9dpo and think I’ve got pretty good line progression. I’m really surprised it’s shown up so clearly so early to be honest.

Hey @MilkyAndFluffy I'm the same 6/7dpo and it's going sooo slowly. I keep telling myself I'm going to wait until Friday at the earliest but knowing myself it'll probably be wednesday out of boredom! I take extra progesterone because of past losses so I can't pay too much attention to symptoms as it really plays tricks on me and basically makes me feel like I'm pregnant every month! Lower cramping at this stage is positive though! When do you think you'll test?? X

Hi, hope it’s ok to join? I’m ttc my first. On cycle 12344 (well, it feels like it, but actually more like cycle 24). I’m just 1dpo and don’t know how I’m going to get through the 2ww. I usually use cheap opk’s but uses the clear blue smiley this month; had 3 days of flashing smiley before the static. DTD twice with flashing and 24 hours after static. Wishing everyone luck and congrats to those who have received their bfp.

Congratulations @Midnight00 and @Teaplease29 on your BFP’s. Wishing you sooo much luck 😚xx

@TunnocksTCake thank you lovely! I do think you are right we totally symptom spot during tww and sometimes I wonder if I’m just feeling stuff because I want to and am aware of some stuff I should feel or actually happening! 😂

how are you holding out? I didn’t think I did have a busy weekend but it ended up manic so it’s helped, but I think it’s this week I’ll struggle with. I was hoping to get as far as possible without testing, my AF due 30th Jan so we will see how long I hold out! Hopefully your toddler is keeping you busy enough so you aren’t too focused on what a longggggg wait the tww is 👏

@Maxime34 hiya testing buddy! Had a mega busy end of the week with work & even busier weekend which has totally helped the TWW but this afternoon the obsession has sunk right back in! It feels like it’s been forever since ovulation day argh - only 6dpo today (almost 7 based on the time lmao)… HOW?! My patience is running thin already, had to talk myself out of testing today. Wanted to update you as this evening I’m having some light cramping pains in my tummy, nothing crazy at all just feels like light period pain. Seems strange as AF isn’t due until 30th Jan! How are you holding up? Have you manage to fight the urge to test? Are we the same DPO and have you got any symptoms? That bright white discharge I mentioned I got last week has happened every day since too until today so I had about 4 days of that, not sure what it was all about tbh!! Hoping we can keep each other sane this week while we ride out till test you, you got an idea when you will? I have absolutely everything crossed for us all 🙌xxx

@Teaplease29 I'm not sure when I got my BFP with baby 1 as I had a chemical just before that so don't know when my fertile week was.
Didnt have a full cycle between chemical and baby1 so i can't compare estimated DPO or anything for this cycle

@Teaplease29 well there you go then! Not much room for debate when you're that sure ☺️

@BambiBooBoo thank you! Still lots of time. I didn’t get a BFP with first baby until day AF due! I think it just depends on how early implantation is?

Last month I had so many symptoms… was convinced but no BFP. This month, slightly sore nipples and a bit of a sore throat - maybe not even connected?

@Teaplease29 that looks like a good line. Can definitely see some pink to it- congratulations

I think I ovulated last Saturday too but BFN this morning. No symptoms really. I had a little bit of pinching on right pelvic area for 20 mins or so this afternoon and my tummy feels hard around my hip bone area 🤷🏻‍♀️

@hipposinacircle thank you! And maybe a bit TMI but I ovulated (I think last Sat) and the first day we DTD in weeks was the Friday so I think conception could only really have happened a day or so earlier I think!?!

@Teaplease29 wow, that is a great line for 8dpo. I'm also wondering if you ovulated a little bit earlier than you think. Congratulations!

@Mrsrobinsonx thankyou! And glad you think it looks like a BFP - it’s pinker than the pic shows too. Maybe a day earlier ovulation wise but unlikely by much - was using ovulation tests.

I did my first FRER yesterday morning and was a BFN!

@RedLipstick1 you will always have a line on opk’s it’s only when they are same darkness or darker than the control line that it’s positive. So you may have already ovulated as you thought, I’d be dtd anyway just incase 😆

@Teaplease29 looks positive to me! I would think more than 8dpo for that line if you could have ovulated earlier? Either way congrats!!

Better pic… it looks pink enough right? Not an evap? So hope it’s a sticky one!

8 DPO evening test! Just had such a desire to test - I know it usually ends in disappointment but….

8dpo and bfn this morning but been feeling nauseous today so may do an early detection test tomorrow. Only have a ten day luteal phase so will know soon enough.

I'm a few days late, but too scared of disappointment so I'm not testing 😂. I was hopeful as my LP is usually consistent but I started taking seven seas preconception tables on CD1 and read that the vit B6 can prolong luteal phase and result in longer cycles

Hello hope its OK if I join, ttc for first time and have been off contraception since May last year. Was taking a relaxed approach in June when my cycle came back to normal but last couple months been trying harder. I don't do ovulation tests usually, and mostly go off of what my app says and ewcm to predict my ovulation. According to app I ovulated 13th Jan, we dtd often during my fertile window and I did have ewcm.. since then I have still been having ewcm every day or so (he's been away working so we weren't able to dtd just incase).
I took a cheap pregnancy test( I know it's mega early, couldn't help myself, it was bfn) and I did a ovulation test too out of curiosity. Attached is the test, do you think I ovulated later than predicted and now I'm just starting my 2ww.. if so I've probably missed my chances this cycle. Af due on 28th. Sorry for long post

@TunnocksTCake - I'm now like "am I weeing more than normal?" Haha, and I had this left side twinge with my first pregnancy (although ended in MMC). I want to test tomorrow but know that's silly! When are you going to?

@Midnight00 It's not due until a week on Tuesday based on 28 days. But I reckon I ovulated early. My periods were shorter before miscarriage and only had 1 period since it. The ovulation signs were there early so I'm assuming I did ovulate early. I'm booked in for a smear test on Thursday so will test Thursday morning at the latest.
