TWW - Testing Around 1st March

443 replies

TTCRainbow · 21/02/2023 10:06

Creating a thread for anyone close to ovulation or already in the TWW! I find this journey easier speaking to people going through the same and on the same timeline. We are trying for baby #1 after a MC end of June/July, we was going with the flow but after nothing happening we decided to start tracking ovulation last month and this month i started tracking BBT as well. This month is also our first month using Preseed after I saw so many people say it helped!

I am currently 3DPO - Ovulation was on cycle day 15 confirmed by BBT.

Congratulations @TTCRainbow! Lovely line.
@1sttimemummy2022 I also see a line- a good one for 8dpo!!

My blood test is tomorrow morning and evening though my preg tests are strong positives I'm still so nervous! I don't know how I'm going to survive the anxiety of the next few weeks/months.

1sttimemummy2022 · 28/02/2023 21:46

@DiamondApricot Thankyou, think I will test at the end of the week as still only early! X

1sttimemummy2022 · 28/02/2023 21:44

@TTCRainbow congratulations how exciting for you both! I think a will retest in a couple of days and see what it says!
When would you be due do you think? Xx

DiamondApricot · 28/02/2023 20:07

@TTCRainbow congratulations! Oh my word how exciting! 🎉

@1sttimemummy2022 I'm usually a total sceptic but I see a line there, if I tip my phone and look at an angle it's really obvious so congratulations to you too! 🎊

Thank you so much @Sb86 @NWnature ❤️ although I will update tomorrow with morning test.. I’m trying not to get too excited but can’t stop looking at it 😭

@1sttimemummy2022 I definitely see a faint line and I know that it’s hard to catch it on photo! Keep testing to see it progress.. I’m 10DPO today and yesterday mine was stark white!

Sorry to post three times in a row I’m awful at keeping up with the messages. @CaffeineAndCrochet I don’t know anything about those vitamins but don’t give up hope- will keep my fingers crossed for you this weekend x

NWnature · 28/02/2023 19:20

I think I can see a faint line @1sttimemummy2022 maybe keep fingers crossed and do another tomorrow

NWnature · 28/02/2023 19:18

@TTCRainbow !!!!! Amazing news!!!! Huge congratulations 👏

Sb86 · 28/02/2023 18:52

@1sttimemummy2022 I think I can see a very faint line but can't see any colour, what's it like in real life as I know they are different to the photos

Sb86 · 28/02/2023 18:51

@TTCRainbow awww that's fab! I'm so happy for you 🤞🏼 for a happy and healthy pregnancy 💓

1sttimemummy2022 · 28/02/2023 18:31

I'm currently 8dpo I think! Haven't been tracking.

What do people think of this test ?

I'm driving myself crazy.

I'm about 6DPO today and this morning noticed some spotting - hooray, implantation bleeding, right? But then realised that I've also started taking Pregnacare vitamins and there's a warning on the box stating that some women notice a change in their monthly cycle.

I'm on day 3 of bleeding now, and while it's not heavy, it's more than just spotting.

I've googled and some people who take those vitamins have noticed the same thing, as well as breast pain. I stopped taking them Sunday and the pain is now gone.

So now it looks like I've messed up what was a regular cycle with over the counter vitamins. I don't even think there's a point in testing at the weekend.

NWnature · 28/02/2023 11:14

Hey @Peaceandloves my little one is nearly 2.5 too :)

It’s early days for me with the Premom app but you can manually log ovulation into it which is helpful and I was putting the strip tests in even though I was going the CB Smiley face ones too- I went with the smiley face as ovulation in the end as I didn’t seem to be hitting a peak on the strips. To be honest clue was pretty accurate for predicting my periods up til I started TTC but as I say I think the CP in dec/ jan has maybe thrown off the information in there. Also looking back my cycles weren’t as regular as I thought, they were an average of 28 but tended to vary month to month from 26 up to 31- however as I wasn’t using it for anything in particular last year I’m not sure I was 100% accurate with logging I could’ve been a day late etc so definitely not perfect.

Anyway sorry for that absolutely essay but I think worth running Premom alongside Clue to get another data set.

@TTCRainbow glad you are feeling better. It’s mad how our bodies mess with us!

@NWnature I feel absolutely fine now.. i honestly think my body is just playing tricks and its really annoying 😒I was so confident i would wait to test but last night got a little voice in my head telling me to do it lmao It's annoying when the apps all say different.. hoping it doesn't arrive and BFP is coming soon xx

Morning everyone? Fingers crossed for anyone testing today.

@NWnature is the premom app helpful? I have clue and have been period tracking for a year but I still sometimes find my ovulation is off and there doesn't seem a way of changing it.

Currently 3dpo. Zero symptoms but I know it's very early. We have only just started trying again ( first child is 2 1/2 ) and I forgot how anxious this time is and how obsessive I get!

NWnature · 28/02/2023 09:27

Hey @Luna0905 we are also on that CB ovulation thread aren’t we? How are you feeling today? Will you be using OPKs this cycle?

@TTCRainbow I caved on the early testing too. Hope you aren’t still feeling queasy today. Will keep everything crossed for you the next few days!

My Premom app says period due on Friday though Clue has me as one day late now. I think all the data is a bit skewwiff following my CP though as Clue has over a year of periods logged but I just started Premom this year after the CP.

Oh @Luna0905 😒Hope you're ok. I feel like i am going to be the same.. i've not got too many symptoms but i had nausea this morning was reaching in the sink but im 99% sure its my body playing tricks on me! I bloody caved last night and took a cheap test and BFN. Now i've caved i'll probably drive myself crazy and test every day until AF now.

I wish you all the luck and baby dust for your next cycle, might be joining you soon - AF is due in 3/4 days now xx

Morning ladies, how's everyone getting on? Anyone testing today?

Hey @Luna0905 I'm not too bad just symptom spotting as per 😅 even though it's early days! I don't think I'll think anything unless my boobs start hurting and get bigger as that was one of the main symptoms in September before bfp x

Luna0905 · 27/02/2023 21:59

Sb86 · 27/02/2023 18:53

Sending love @Luna0905 it's so disheartening isn't it and it doesn't matter how many people tell you that it will happen etc etc. Just know you're not alone and you're being thought about, all the best for this next cycle 🙏🏼

thank you lovely, means a lot. onto the next cycle!
how are you feeling? xxx

Sb86 · 27/02/2023 18:54

Hey @Peaceandloves good luck holding out til then if you can and obviously good luck for a BFP🤞🏼
