Hi guys, just looking for some cycle buddies. This will be our 3rd cycle hoping for that BFP 🤞. I think I'm either ovulating today or 1dpo... I got my darkest opk yesterday morning (CD13) but we had my sons birthday trip away camping so I wasn't able to repeat the test to see if I got my peak in the evening. I'm presuming I would have. I haven't had a temp rise yet, so I think I'll get one tomorrow if I ovulated today. It's all a bit confusing 😅. Anyway, it'd be cool to have someone to wait with!

@Kez437 I would wait as long as you can if you only have 1 left. I've always found the clear blue don't actually show much super early so can be confusing as not sure if there is a line or not. Can you order some cheapies on Amazon? FRERs are good for early testing but also get indents so be careful!

How is everyone else doing? Are people starting to test yet?

I'm only 5dpo I think but I'm starting to feel very travel sick. Probably just imagining as too early to have real symptoms??!

Kez437 · 04/06/2023 22:10

@MrsLully and @Angelselevenx I'm so sorry for yous 😢 but I suppose there is the hope that you don't know officially until AF does turn up. Sending hugs, this babies lark is hard 😞

Kez437 · 04/06/2023 22:07

Ladies can anyone help me with basic maths. I took an early pregnancy test on Friday at 5DPO, stupid and the ink bled so pointless. I have 1 left in the pack. It's a Clearblue ultra early which is meant to be 6 days from date of expected period. My date of expected period is 11th June so to me minus 6 days is the 6th June which is Tuesday right? Which is 9DPO. Which seems early?

Just when I put it into the clear blue website it's telling me Thursday before I test? I'm not really used to early tests so trying to check when I'm actually meant to be doing before I waste a (pretty expensive) test

Angelselevenx · 04/06/2023 22:00

@MrsLully aww I'm sorry!

I'm 11dpo today and AF due tomorrow, bfn so far though 😣

1dpo, anyone else? 😊
Kez437 · 04/06/2023 21:59

@ABLOSSOM I'm so sorry 😞 the wait and then the disappointment is hard to put into words and I know there's 'always next month' but sometimes that's hard to hear too ❤️ your baby will come exactly when it's meant to ❤️

MrsLully · 04/06/2023 10:12

I just had another negative test, this time on a frer so I think this is me out.
I'll keep an eye on here to see your bfps coming!

ABLOSSOM · 04/06/2023 07:50

13DPO and BFN. AF due today and I've had some cramps this morning so expecting her here at some point today.... although BBT is still above cover line which is strange but not elevated.

I really thought this would be the month! ☹️

Arg that sucks, I'm so sorry. How are you feeling? You know what they say though, you still haven't got your period and the whole implantation thing varies so much that you don't really truly know until you do get your AF.
Sending you hugs xx

ABLOSSOM · 04/06/2023 07:51

14DPO sorry..

@MrsLully aaah that is so lovely to hear thank you so much 😊

MrsLully · 03/06/2023 09:19

@pinkandredflowers Aww thanks, I don't think it's happening this month for me, but that's ok, we weren't officially trying anyway.
There's 2 years ish in between my two, and it's been great. The first six months were really very hard, but I found the transition from zero to one kid to be way more difficult. Now they keep each other busy and it's been lovely seeing their relationship grow. Even when my little one was a baby she was always happy to just watch her big sister potter around.
I was super panicked when I got pregnant with my second (even though I was trying to!) for no good reason. Best decision we ever made, you are going to love it! X

Morning everybody!
How are we all doing? I tested this morning at 8dpo like the impatient twat that I am and got a bfn of course 🤣
I hope you lot are having better luck/patience!

8dpo is early!! You are not out yet 💕 is this number 3 for you? How is life with 2??

I have a 2 year old and feel like I'm mad for wanting a second because it's already chaos!

I have been getting shivers all evening. Maybe this is a good sign or maybe im about to get sick 🤒

My temp has been all over the place these last few days. I haven't taken it properly or anything, but I've getting the odd shiver. I do have 2 toddlers so chances are I'm actually about to come down with a bug. PMS can do really mean things to me too though, my hormones are merciless 🤣

Jaded1982 · 02/06/2023 21:40

My first pregnancy I had zero symptoms, I was actually having tests by the gp but she wanted me to have a negative pregnancy test before she booked any. I stomped all the way home and upstairs to pee on a stick and it was positive! So good luck…. 😊

Kiwiburgh · 02/06/2023 19:31

6dpo today. 0 symptoms, though I'm feeling good about this cycle for some reason 🤷‍♀️. I don't think I'm going to be able to wait until af, maybe 12dpo to test.
Good luck to everyone 🤞🍀

Jaded1982 · 02/06/2023 14:06

So 1 week to go….. my symptoms are more cervical mucus than normal but I have the same sore boobs I get with pms. Really trying not to get my hopes up. Hoping some of us get the positives soon!

Kez437 · 02/06/2023 13:26

Ah ok, thanks everyone, I hadn't even thought of that. It's so frustrating because they're so expensive as well! And I do the 'dip' approach as opposed to while I'm peeing to avoid it going over etc. It was a 2 pack so of course I'm tempted to go again but really there is no point because it's too early and I should leave it until next week. The wait is killing me!

MrsLully · 02/06/2023 13:13

Kez437 · 02/06/2023 13:08

Hi everyone, so I got ridiculously impatient and decided to take an early test even though I am only 5DPO. Obviously it came back negative but what is the blue colour in the results window about, at the bottom? Anyone seen this before?

It does look like too much wee went into it and it bled a bit, I wouldn't make anything of it sadly. It's only 5dpo so even being negative doesn't mean anything yet!

Hopingforbabynumber1 · 02/06/2023 13:10

@Kez437

Hi I have stopped using these tests the amount of times the dye would run funny on them and sometimes make me think it could be positive. Its really annoying

Hopingforbabynumber1 · 02/06/2023 11:58

Hi everyone I am 11 dpo today. I have all my normal pms symptoms still, with a really bag headache today. The symptoms have been less obvious today which is a big sign Af will be here tomorrow. I tend to wait for AF to show now as I was getting so upset at always seeing BFN. After TTC for so long its so annoying that you can tell your PMS symptoms like clockwork and just know your out. How is everyone else's TWW going?

pinkandredflowers · 02/06/2023 11:35

@MrsLully ahh that's so helpful! So crazy how the body works. I watched a tiktok the other day of ovulation until 20ish DPO and it was fascinating!

MrsLully · 02/06/2023 11:21

pinkandredflowers · 02/06/2023 10:57

@Pinkmoon23 that sounds super promising!!!!

I am 2 DPO and feel nothing 😂 I'm pretty sure I'm out already. Have to wait until next weekend to test really but I'm very excited to hear about everyone's symptoms and hopefully see some BFPs!!

Implantation typically happens in between days 7 to 10, so it's actually ok not to feel anything at this point. We still have elevated levels of progesterone naturally as a result of ovulation, that's why the tww symptoms and PMS symptoms are so similar. They only change slightly when we start to produce hCG after implantation, and it can take up to two whole days after that happens before a pregnancy test actually picks it up!
All this nerdy stuff to say, you aren't truly out until AF arrives! 🤞🏻🤞🏻
