Hi all

I’ve commented on a few threads but thought I would start a new one for anyone who may have ovulated over the weekend and now starting the TWW? Officially 1DPO today.

This is our first cycle trying to conceive #1. I came off the pill a few weeks ago, had my normal withdrawl bleed. Had flashing smileys last week with the static appearing on Saturday. I will assume I ovulated yesterday as I had a fair few cramps.

Anyone else in the same boat?

Morning! How is everyone today? Did another test today and to be honest I can't see any line today. I thought there would be some progression but maybe the test yesterday wasn't right. Feeling a little meh today but hey ho.

Morning all 🥰
I tested again this morning with a FRPT and I swear at a certain angle I can see a very faint line but my partner says there's nothing there. I'm 10 DPO, so I guess it's still could be a bit to early, or maybe I'm just going crazy 😂
Anyone else had BFP this morning?

@OnNaturesCourse ive read about the baths too - it’s probably fine this early but I’ve also avoided just in case.

All though symptoms could be promising i think if they are unusual for you.

My Fitbit has just told me heart rate is high, so either I’m dying or it could be a good sign?

🤞🤞🤞 Mushroo

Regarding the baths - I need to take daily baths (medical issue) and did throughout both previous pregnancies I know it's anecdotal so no one should pay attention to me I just take it not to have crazy steamy hot baths, keep it warm so it's nice but not too hot etc.

LegalLights · 07/02/2023 06:38

Another BFN for me this morning. Not due till the weekend so you never know but I'm sure I've been able to test positive on earlier pregnancies sooner than this so not holding out much hope now for this month... just a teensy bit of hope 🙈🤣

@OnNaturesCourse im feeling bloated too. That’s promising!
last night my cramps got worse and today they feel so painful like as if my period is about to come on. Could that be implantation cramps? It’s so bad I’m actually using a hot water bottle. Backache too

@peachyplumm
I had horrible cramps last night, but like a pulling/pinging sort of achy pain aswell. Could very well just be reading too much into things though.

When I was TTC my first I was told to avoid hot baths etc... I don't know if that's a real thing or issue but I've avoided that and hot water bottles but it's all I wanted last night. I was so uncomfortable.

Tonight I just feel tight across the tummy but that could be the workout I had today. But I am very burny "down there" like I've had s*x when too dry or I have cystitis starting 😭 my CM is pretty dry but what I do get is thick, stretchy like slime.

Sorry for TMI I just process everything better when bouncing it off others.

That’s so exciting!! Are you going to get a digital? I don’t think it would feel real to me until I saw the word ‘Pregnant’ on the screen!!

I didn't know if it would show yet as I'm only 9dpo. I'll maybe wait till the weekend to get one of them.

LittleMiss2023 · 06/02/2023 18:32

Jb2189 · 06/02/2023 18:30

Fingers crossed for you. I've done 6 tests today just to make sure and they all have lines 🙈😀 still not sunk in yet

Just took another test with FMU, again the faintest of faint, if anything. Still not getting too excited yet, and I think if I can I will try and hold off testing until Thursday or Friday!! Need those clear lines 😂

So good to see some BFP’s coming through, and for the BFN’s, you’re not out yet!!

Mine look just like yours, a bit gutted! Also confused because I’ve been super tired last few days even though I’ve been getting loads of sleep and had crazy vivid dreams out of no where. I wake up feeling like it was so real. Also had cramps on and off constantly past day today especially feels like AF. Checked my cervix and it’s super high as well (tho I know that prob isn’t as reliable). My period is due in 5 days

Very strange isn't it. I'm wearing my loose baggy jeans today, elasticated ones that usually fall off my hips, and they are super tight. They've actually left a small mark right round me.

Mushroo · 06/02/2023 16:29

Driving is definitely the best excuse!

Im shattered today. Probably from the hen party but I can barely keep my eyes open. Other than that, zero symptoms whatsoever, feeling it’s not my month.

Planning to test on thurs / fri I think (AF due Saturday)

Peachyplumm · 06/02/2023 16:28

Also peeing lots, I don’t know where it’s coming from! With all that I would have thought there’d be a faint line

@Mushroo great tips thank you! I am supposed to have work girls over to me Friday and having some dinner so could always pretend to drink as you say. Saturday I am supposed to be at a gig, I may drive to this as it is in Glasgow, and I live about 25 miles from there. (Will just say i am trying to save some cash).

@madeofcodes thank you, I will do. Baby dust to you and all.👼

Supposed to have 2 nights out this week. Not sure how to get away with not drinking without it being obvious.

Welcome!

I had to endure a hen party over the weekend and it wasn’t too bad!

I had a Prosecco to start so it looked like I was drinking but only had half of it. Then when we were sharing a wine I just nursed a glass all evening (had about 2 sips) whilst also drinking a Coke.

If you’re not sharing wine and heading to the bar you can ask for a lemonade in a gin glass.

It was sort of noticed I wasn’t really drinking but I just said I was driving the next morning. It’s tricky!!

madeofcodes · 06/02/2023 16:02

@Kittenmum89 you can definitely get away with not drinking on the sly but equally, one won't hurt. You could say you had a boozy night the night before and you're a little fuzzy today, or you could say you're on antibiotics. I'm stumped what to do now if this is a positive test as I did dry Jan but now that excuse is out the window and I'm always partial to the odd gin/sauvi 😂

Kittenmum89 · 06/02/2023 15:54

I definitely see some faint lines ladies, hopefully this is the chat for the BFP's !

Welcome! 👋 I had heart palpitations this week actually, and I've not had any clear discharge, all been creamy. It sounds as though you've covered yourself over ovulation day so fingers crossed! Keep us all posted!

Hi ladies,

I hope it is ok to jump on here, currently in my 2ww cycle 4 baby no1. 3DPO, I've felt very strange today, almost like heart palpitations and my body palpitations. Anyone every had something similar, very thick and creamy discharge (TMI sorry lol). Im totally looking too much into it i think as only had my peak static smiley on Thursday morning.

WE bd almost every day last week up to Friday. haha. I hate this bit. While out shopping yesterday i popped into a mamas and papas shop, biggest mistake every wanted to push all the prams etc and buy all the clothes. Obsessed much. lol

No symptoms other than a little bit of nausea and sore boobs. Nausea probably as I skipped breakfast and boobs would be PMS usually

I'm out for today with two BFN.
Still 4 days until AF is due so keeping hope.

CONGRATULATIONS to all today's BFPs!

I'm also 4 days until AF arrives, tested today with a BFN. I've still got hope as I have a few symptoms. Have you got any? X
