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?

@SnookyPook 🤞 for you hun xx

I have absolutely no symptoms. Not worried about that though as luckily I didn't have any with DS and he is a very happy healthy nearly 3 YO. I'm hoping for a very similar pregnancy. No sickness, nausea, aches or pains all the way through xx

SnookyPook · 14/02/2023 15:43

@Soda123x congratulations! Amazing!! Loving all the BFPs!! AF due here Sunday or Monday so bit further behind with my cycle... I feel like maybe just maybe a little bean is implanting today as I have my pre-period type cramps but too early in the cycle compared to normal. Not testing yet though.. will see how things develop. Hoping all the lovely babydust going round on this thread is contagious!

Soda123x · 14/02/2023 13:43

Congratulations to all the others with BFPs ❤

And still got my 🤞 for everyone else still waiting xx

Soda123x · 14/02/2023 13:42

So ..... I've been really really patient not testing until today as I can have cycles anywhere from 28-34 days. Today I am CD30.

I know it is still very early and I have also tested positive for Covid yesterday 🙈 (still have to test due to work etc..) I'm not poorly with it, just a sore throat 🤞 this little bean sticks xx

PS ive got a little bit or reassurance for now as this is quite a strong line to say not FMU. I had literally been to the loo like 2hrs previous xx

Aw, I am excited to see our late positives! @VictoriaBlossom , @Twoinapod

@Lauraboymum - I really felt what you wrote - when you get told, and told and told again that you were not successful this time around and are like "ok, ok, enough, I get it". I hope that a month (or two) is your time.

Twoinapod · 14/02/2023 11:10

@VictoriaBlossom eek congratulations. I really thought I was out this month too. I’m currently equal parts panic and excitement. This is number 3 but was expecting it to take longer

VictoriaBlossom · 14/02/2023 10:30

@SnookyPook I genuinely thought I was out

Thank you

🙏🏻 sending good vibes and baby dust to everyone

SnookyPook · 14/02/2023 10:26

@VictoriaBlossom congratulations again!! (Just said it on another thread but seemed rude to ignore it here 😜)

Hopefully this baby dust will be contagious!!

VictoriaBlossom · 14/02/2023 09:54

@Twoinapod
You and me both

SnookyPook · 14/02/2023 07:51

@Lauraboymum sorry to hear that - sounds like it was a tough morning for you. Sending big hugs. I know what you mean about not wanting to skip months. Maybe see how you feel around ovulation and take it from there... Xx

@Twoinapod how lovely! Congratulations! Hope it all progresses well for you! 🥰

@Ks2023 I'm afraid I really don't know much about the indent/evap stuff... If you can bear to be patient then I'd wait until Sat and hopefully it'll be a nice strong line then that leaves you in no doubt!

Still plodding on here... Think I'm now 7/8dpo...?! This cycle seems to be taking forever!

Ks2023 · 14/02/2023 07:44

I can’t do this to myself anymore just gonna wait Saturday for AF all test have very faint line they can’t be all indent can it?

Twoinapod · 13/02/2023 20:31

Well I thought I was out this month but just took a test and just as I was about to Chuck it I thought I saw the lightest mark, so tried a FRER

11dpo

I'm out 😔
Not sure of plans for this cycle. I have a family wedding end of November. It's a fancy one in a castle and already booked our rooms for 2 nights. Non refundable £500 😬 if try again this month due date would be 1 week before the wedding....... At the same time I really don't want to skip a month tho. The following cycle would be DD 1 week before Christmas which I'm not sure about. However I think you get to the point while TTC that you don't care when , you just want to be pregnant!
Changed for next time. I am not testing early! I could definitely see a line on the first response last week 😔 I decided to wait till today (AF due today) used a digital clear blue. Big fat not pregnant, almost felt like it was rubbing it in more being in writing. I think I even made an out loud gasp when saw it. AF arrived later today just to make sure I got the message.

Hi all, so after tracking my bbt for a few days it seems I didn’t ovulate at all. I have pcos so I think the ‘cramps’ have just been a random flare up of pelvic pain. I only ever had this once before! I’m gonna go forward with using bbt only for tracking. I’ve used it before and have seen a clear biphasic shift, it just happens much later. Perhaps from the stress of this month it didn’t happen at all. Won’t be updating in this thread any further as I’ve got to figure out what’s going on but thank you all for the support till now :) congratulations to those with bfp and good luck to the others! Xx

Ahh I’m sorry to hear that! Hopefully all goes well for you, and I might see you back on here in a couple of months! :)

Hi everyone, kept quiet for a few days on here.

I am experiencing some odd cramping today; I can only describe it as like a pulling/shooting sensation down there and in my uterus and vaginal area. HAs anyone ever had this? I am currently 10 DPO ordered some FRER from amazon which should come Wednesday.

Mushroo · 13/02/2023 12:18

@SnookyPook i know! Regular for months and the first month I try this happens! Thank you :)

SnookyPook · 13/02/2023 11:56

@Mushroo so frustrating! As if tww wasn't bad enough without our bodies playing up and messing us around! Hope you get your answers soon.

Mushroo · 13/02/2023 11:43

@hipposinacircle congrats!!

AF still not here and now I’m really confused. I was sure I ovulated 30th which would mean AF would be here now (I always get spotting before so today should be full flow day).

I had spotting last Thursday and absolutely nothing since. Now debating if I ovulated late around the 3rd and Thursday was implantation? But you’d still expect a BFP by now.

So frustrating! Just want AF to arrive now (or ideally a very late BFP!).

hipposinacircle · 13/02/2023 11:21

Thank you @SnookyPook @Ks2023 @EMcG3

Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

EMcG3 · 13/02/2023 10:50

@hipposinacircle - wonderful news! And yes, even if it isn't successful, it is a milestone in itself.

Ks2023 · 13/02/2023 08:29

Congratulations 🥳

SnookyPook · 13/02/2023 08:03

@hipposinacircle aw I see it! Congratulations! I really hope this one is your sticky little bean. Sending lots of healthy pregnancy vibes your way.

hipposinacircle · 13/02/2023 07:21

Well it's faint, but it's there. 10dpo today. After losses last year, I'm taking this with a big pinch of caution but I'm so happy we've made it to this milestone.

Hi ladies, I was expecting period yesterday especially because temp dropped below cover line, but nothing came. Today 1 day late, still no sign of AF, temp shot back up to post O temp? It dropped to 35.98 now it’s back to my usual 36.43. Took a test and negative.

very confused. Anyone have any idea what is going on?

Only symptoms I’ve got are cramps (which come and go for a few hours at a time but get really sore like af is coming) and lingering headaches. Sometimes I feel slightly sick but can’t tell if that’s just cos of something I ate or indigestion.
my breasts which usually are sore and swollen before AF still are totally fine.
