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?

I'm also waiting :( I'm about 11dpo, have had sore boobs for over a week (not usual) as well as mild cramps the past week (also not usual for me), some sharp pains in ovaries (also not usual) and was really thinking this was the month as we did everything "right" but had some brown spotting yesterday and this morning. I know it could be implantation bleeding and the cramps could be implantation ones, but I'm just dreading going to the loo, don't want to see AF. Am gonna take a test this weekend. Feeling meh.

6DPO for me and no symptoms today, Not got that feeling so feel we are out this month.
Not going to test at all for at least a week.

GingerJanee · 09/02/2023 11:17

10dpo - I am sleeping more than I have ever have in my life and my boobs have grew and feel twingey? Is that even a word?lol also have mild cramping. Definitely having symptoms so I’m going to test with my last FRER tonight and buy some clear blue early detection tomorrow on the way home if I need to test over the weekend. (Saying if… I know I’ll be testing until Monday when AF is due) I might as well have shares in pregnancy tests at this stage!

OnNaturesCourse · 09/02/2023 09:50

@mamadeofcodes sometimes.o symptoms is a good thing as it also means no AF symptoms!

I've looked over my dates and I'm 95% sure I ovulated on 29th. I'm usually 14 days between that and period arriving. My AF cramps etc don't usually start until day before so I'm so confused as to why I have them now as I'm sure AF isn't due until Sunday and we are only on Thursday.

Morning all,

My cold have arrived at full pelt today and I feel gross! Did a test this morning (10 dpo) and a BFN. It was just an internet cheapie but stark white.

Limited symptoms so think I’m out this month as well! Going out on Saturday night so will do a test then I think just in case.

12DPO, and I think it's safe to assume I'm out just now. Cramps have turned to AF like waves of cramp and aches, I'm grumpy too.

@peachyplumm how are you this morning?

:( I think I'm out too! Last test was yesterday, AF due Monday. Got no symptoms now so I think I'm just going to wait til my period comes, if it's late then I'll test but not going to waste any more tests this time!

Hi ladies, I tested last night (11dpo) and got a very very faint line on FRER. I’d been looking at stark white negatives the days before this so despite being so faint I could see it and it was pink. But the camera just won’t pick it up in the same way.

will test again tomorrow with FMU and hopefully post a pic. :)

I’ve been cramping for 2-3 days straight but what made me test was I noticed I’d been super tired past 3 days especially, like really sleepy as soon as I get cosy and settled in. I also had headaches which I experienced with my last pregnancy (normally they turn into full blown migraines, but the only time they stayed as just headaches was when I was last pg) and some faint waves of nausea.

this prob means that 2 days ago when I felt the cramps start, that must have been when I implanted as I thought. (At 9dpo)

How is everyone? X

Ooooo that’s promising! A faint line is better than a stark white test!

I’m still not sure - my one this morning was still incredibly faint. I’ve also been cramping the last few days and today when I did a wipe, I noticed a different colour on the paper, but not much. Now I’m so conscious every time I wipe and staring at the toilet paper wondering if it’s implantation bleeding or potentially the start of AF? Who knows at this point! I want to try and not test tomorrow (12DPO) and do again on Saturday morning (13DPO). Hopefully by then if it’s positive, the line will be a bit clearer to read!

Usually period wise I am quite regular. I always assumed due to the regularity of my periods, I was also ovulating exactly halfway though my cycle.

With my son (who is now 3), it was literally a case of doing the deed once that month and getting preg straight away. I started tracking my ovulation properly this time as we started trying around October time using my fertility tracker app and nothing happened. Then started testing with the ovulation kits, which did show I was ovulating about a week later than my fertility tracking app had assumed.

I suppose I will just need to keep an eye on the bleeding and see what happens

I got a positive OPK last month 5 days before my period. It was just the LH strips not the digital, but I learned that LH surges just before you get your period as well. Perhaps there was a mistake in tracking ovulation this time? I also checked my cervix and it was very low, which confirmed to me that yeah I was getting my period and it was an AF surge.

@LittleMiss2023 have you tested? Sorry I can't recall - did you have a faint?

LittleMiss2023 · 08/02/2023 23:05

OnNaturesCourse · 08/02/2023 22:27

I am the same. My eyes are convincing me something is there but when then I blink and it takes a while for a line to form again 😂

Sounds like indigestion - I've had the same symptoms before but not pregnancy related. Simply tummy wanting to talk to me lol

I've been OK today, but tonight I'm crampy, tired and sore. BNF again tonight tho 😩🙄 it hurts to lie on my tummy which is weird and annoying as I sleep that way.

Oh this is like, next level indigestion! Not the small little rumblings, like thunder in there. Even my DH is turning his head in shock! But who knows - could be the increase of water I’ve been drinking this week too!

Hi all!

Welcome to all the newbies! ☺️

I am 11DPO today and just took another test with FMU and if a squinted really hard at a certain angle I may see something, but I highly doubt it! I’ll wait now until 13DPO i think and then just wait for AF!

The only weird thing with my body I’ve been noticing is I have been having quite loud and uncomfortable rumblings in my stomach. As if something is going on in there! Not sure if that’s my increase in water or what! But it’s weird!

How is everyone else doing?

Hi all,

So lovely seeing all the BFPs!! I am 8dpo tomorrow and so tempted to test tomorrow night but I know it’s so early so not sure if I should hold out a bit longer? I have zero symptoms so my gut feeling is telling me I’m out this month but who knows. I just want to feel some kind of symptoms to give me some hope! I feel frustrated and like it’s never going to happen but trying my best to keep the faith 🤞

Congratulations to all those bfp.... Only just logged back in so had to catch up ......
Well I think I might have the faintest can hardly see it line 😬 not getting excited just yet but I definitely don't think it's line eyes! Still 6 days till period is due and I didn't use first morning Urine either.. I'm out of first response test now. Only have a couple of cheapies. Will try and wait a couple more days 🙈 if I can

cloudypink · 08/02/2023 16:22

Thanks everyone!
I tested yesterday and got a BFN so don't get to disheartened if you havnt got your BFP yet. 🥰🥰

Mushroo · 08/02/2023 15:47

Hi @babymumma1999 its impossible to know without having tracked your cycle for a few months.

But, if your period was 21st, with a ‘typical’ cycle you’d ovulate around the 3rd feb, and test around the 17th.

That would be a ‘perfect’ cycle though, and given your bleeding I’d says it’s unlikely.

If I were you I’d just DTD loads but accept
itll probably take a few months for your cycle to return to normal and go from there!

babymumma1999 · 08/02/2023 15:22

coil came out 26/1/23 sorry!!

babymumma1999 · 08/02/2023 15:22

hi. my period started on 21/1/23, my coil came out 26/2/23, stopped bleeding 31/2/23 but think this was prolonged because of the coil removal. I dont know if my periods are normally regular or not. I had extreme hunger 3/2-5/2 last weekend as well as bad cramping and lower back ache. came down with a bad cold on 5/2 and I never normally get poorly. I dont know when I would have ovulated or when to test. can anyone shed any light please? thank you I am so impatient!!

LegalLights · 08/02/2023 15:10

I got another BFN this morning. No AF. Stocked up on tests now from Amazon... keeping the faith.

madeofcodes · 08/02/2023 14:48

Congrats @starryeyedchicken & @cloudypink 🎉🎉🎉🎉

LegalLights · 08/02/2023 14:35

Oh wow congrats @starryeyedchicken as well! So nice to see the BFP!

SnookyPook · 08/02/2023 14:34

@cloudypink definite lines!!! How exciting! 😍 Congrats!!

Best of luck to you other ladies waiting on clearer results etc! Too early in my cycle to even contemplate testing. I am on high alert though. Skin is a bit spotty which it was in the implantation run-up with my DS but it's hardly conclusive haha. Just gotta be patient...

LegalLights · 08/02/2023 14:30

Congratulations @cloudypink ! That's great news 👍👍👍🎉
