@Abs014 omg I don't know, can you do another test ! Exciting !!!

Abs014 · 05/07/2023 13:58

Am I right in thinking this is just dye run? I’m pretty sure I’m out this cycle but will try again first thing tomorrow with a 5 day early test.

@CurlyWurly1991 I see a faint line. Please keep us updated 😁 x

HavinKittens · 05/07/2023 13:18

The more concentrated your wee the better so first wee in the morning is best. That’s my understanding anyway.

ok!! Thanks well I think I will wait for FMU tomorrow for the boots test when I will be 14dpo which is my recommended test date on fertility friend, (assuming AF won’t have arrived of course). Is it still recommended to test first thing or is afternoon/evening better? That squinted was early afternoon after not doing a wee for about 2h.

HavinKittens · 05/07/2023 12:29

Yes I can see it. Hope you get something clearer on the boots test x

@CurlyWurly1991 I feel I can see something v faint on both pics!

Vic231 · 05/07/2023 12:27

Thank you for your lovely messages everyone ♥️

Vic231 · 05/07/2023 12:26

Ooo I feel like I can see something on the inverted one @CurlyWurly1991!

CurlyWurly1991 · 05/07/2023 11:35

I mean I feel like I’m imagining things so please feel free to tell me to go and find another hobby until AF shows 😂

I'm with you @HavinKittens time is dragging! It's too early for true symptoms as well so we are just in limbo waiting to get closer for AF. I just keep thinking, this time next week, if I'm not spotting I'll be getting quite 👀

HavinKittens · 05/07/2023 10:49

Yes I third being able to squint at a possible line. It’s one of my hobbies.

That’s great news @Goldie1234 that your bloods are normal. Reassuring! I’m really hoping mine will be better this time and the last time was just a blip 🙏

I have the nhs app now so hopefully will be able to see my result quite quickly. I’ll keep you all posted.

5dpo. Days are going slow. Zzz

CinderRosie · 05/07/2023 10:23

@CurlyWurly1991 oooh how exciting, I'd also love to have a squint at your test!

5dpo here. No more cramping like I had the other day. Just feel my usual post-ovulation self - fatigued, bloated and craving rubbish food 😂

Goldie1234 · 05/07/2023 10:11

Good luck @CurlyWurly1991 !!

A few with what sound like promising symptoms !!! 🤞🏽🤞🏽 hope we get some +ves soon !!!

I'm 7 dpo, which seems like a particularly tough time of tww.. can properly start symptoms spotting now 😅

My progesterone bloods have come back from yesterday already, all normal 👍🏽

@HavinKittens hope yours go well !

LA7887 · 05/07/2023 09:42

@CurlyWurly1991 thank you. Its OK but like everyone I will feel better once I know either way :).
Ooo why don't you share your test so we can all have a good squint at it?

@GinAndBearIt90 firstly, I love the username haha! Love a wee gin 🤤. Hopefully the OPKs show you exactly where you should be. I find doing opk a task 🙄 couldn't be bothered half the time x

GinAndBearIt90 · 05/07/2023 09:34

Morning all

Hope your blood test goes OK tomorrow @HavinKittens and you don't have to wait long for results 🤞

Fingers crossed the symptoms mean something @LA7887

It's been a few days since my first opk, so I'm going to do another this afternoon and see if my levels are starting to rise in line with my premom app. Hopefully it was just a skipped period and I'm not still waiting for a cycle to end!!

CurlyWurly1991 · 05/07/2023 09:32

Hi everyone I’ve been a bit quiet during the TWW, just catching up.
@Vic231 im so sorry to hear that, it is absolutely crap. Hope you can take time for yourself as you need. It is an emotional rollercoaster this TTC business.
@LA7887 could be promising although equally hope you aren’t feeling too bad!!
@HavinKittens good luck for the blood test, hope it confirms ov for you and ties in with the data you have on your temps.
im 13dpo and waiting for AF. Temps still high and feeling very fatigued (not unusual pre AF for me) also had a lot of cramping. Hard to say what a normal period feels like as I’m on agnus castus and other herbs from a medical herbalist to sort out irregular/anovulatory cycles. Definitely ovulated as temps are consistently up which is reassuring. I’ve tested on a one step IC and looks bfn but like a mad person I have scrutinised it inverted and think I may see something… have sent DH out for boots early tests as I heard they are good?
didn’t get a bfp until 18dpo with my daughter so bracing myself for a wait, or of course I might just be about to have a massive period!! Which is the most likely outcome here.

LA7887 · 05/07/2023 09:02

@HavinKittens so my app says I'm 9DPO (had my fates wrong before 🤦‍♀️) so it's still early. I'm trying not to test til AF is due in 5 days.

Had an upset tummy for a week now, feeling warm and started to feel a bit nauseous yesterday and today, it comes and goes 🤢.

But who knows. Could be a tummy bug.

Fingers crossed for your blood test tomorrow🤞 I'm so jealous you have a week off lol! X

HavinKittens · 05/07/2023 08:22

Good morning everyone
middle of the week - not long to go now til the weekend! I’m off next week so extra wanting this week to end haha.

I said I wouldn’t track anything this month, but I have in the end. My temp is consistently up, so I’m really hoping my repeat progesterone blood test tomorrow shows that I did ovulate this cycle 🤞

I was wondering if @LA7887 had an update after your early tests??

@Vic231 I'm so sorry to hear this lovely 💛As others have said you can unwatch a thread from your 'I'm on' section, I think you can also hide threads so they won't pop up elsewhere for you.

GinAndBearIt90 · 04/07/2023 13:35

@Vic231 so sorry to hear this...sending a big hug 💔 I'm not sure about leaving a thread, but maybe contacting admin so they can remove you from it? 'Unwatching' the thread will definitely help prevent notifications.

GinAndBearIt90 · 04/07/2023 13:31

@CinderRosie that's very helpful to have a bit of an indicator before AF!! Now that I think about it with my second pregnancy I was 99.9% sure I was before I tested because a few days before I started recognising the bloating/uneasy tummy feeling I'd had the first time. My husband was rolling his eyes saying I was just symptom spotting but I just knew 🤣

@HavinKittens hahaha its so hard when they are in the house! I've one CB digital left from last time, but I definitely won't be testing with it because I only do those to doubly confirm and roughly indicate weeks - so it is safely staying in the drawer 😅

DmcinT · 04/07/2023 12:53

@Vic231 I’m so sorry, I hope ur doing as well as can be ❤️ I had the same when I was part of the sept/oct due date, it was hard to see updates so if u I watch them you won’t receive notifications, hope that helps xx

HavinKittens · 04/07/2023 12:51

Ah @Vic231 my lovely, I’m sorry, hope you’re taking care of yourself. It’s early but you are still entitled to feel however you feel. Big hug

I don’t know how to remove yourself but if you click the down arrow on the right below the blue banner, you can unwatch so you don’t get notifications any more.

@CinderRosie haha I'm also trying to base testing around the weekend and which plans I have involving wine 😂
