@CinderRosie thank you, fingers crossed

@HavinKittens that's made me feel so much better.. thank you.

I wasn't really trying with my first so don't remember if I had anything 4 years ago.. it's so hard not to read into things too much when desperately and actively TTC..

Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞

CB website is telling me I can test using a CB digi at 11dpo which is Saturday so fingers crossed 🤞

HavinKittens · 01/08/2023 08:31

When I had spotting with my first pregnancy, it looked like that. So could be! I think it’s always so hard to tell whether these signs mean anything or are just random.

@mahii95 i had spotting exactly like this last month which lasted for a few days. I wasn’t pregnant as got all BFN but it do wonder if I had a very early chemical or something as I never spot as early as 6DPO and it’s never pale pink like that… fingers crossed for you that it’s implantation 🤞🏻

mahii95 · 01/08/2023 08:17

Hi all 7dpo today.. had a bit of spotting late last night.. at 6dpo around 11.25pm.. what do you all think? Implantation or not enough? Nothing since Pictures attached.. sorry if TMI 😬🥴

GinAndBearIt90 · 31/07/2023 20:02

Hi all, I'm 10DPO now and AF due on 4th or 5th Aug according to Flo and Premom. Nothing particular to report but I was SOOO grumpy the last 2 days, just could not get myself to wise up 🙈 I'm assuming probably PMS related. No bloating feelings yet which was the only early symptom I had last pregnancy. We only DTD once in the fertile period this cycle as planning to start properly next cycle, so definitely expecting AF to show. Just hoping for a more regular cycle length this time 🤞🤞

CinderRosie · 31/07/2023 15:52

@Goldie1234 nothing exciting, just pottering around and catching up with family and friends. It’s quite nice to just chill out and not be rushing around. wish the weather was a bit nicer but never mind!

Goldie1234 · 31/07/2023 10:59

Morning all ! 3dpo and also thinking we tried our best so just wanting to keep hopeful. I bought my partner a load of suplliments but he hasn'tstarted taking them...

I feel like from the last few months I get actual pregnancy symptoms every tww 😅 so I will be really trying not to symptom spot !
@CinderRosie what are you doing with your holiday ? I feel like I have a whole lot of extra time to let my mind wander than compared to being at work 😅

@Ttc2n have you done a pregnancy test ? Hoping we get some more positives soon !!

CinderRosie · 31/07/2023 10:36

Morning everyone… I think I am 2-3 DPO after getting a positive OPK on 27th but an even stronger positive on 28th.

Have DTD lots but didn’t manage to on the 27th which is now annoying me but we have definitely tried our best. My BBT hasn’t risen properly yet and has been all over the place the last week probably due to me being on holiday from work and waking up at different times/having later nights. I’m off work this week so I’m hoping it’ll make this part of the TWW go quicker for me as the days fly past!

HavinKittens · 31/07/2023 07:23

Morning everyone,
I’m probs about 2dpo but not certain
We didn’t manage to DTD on ovulation day but nevermind, life just got in the way!

Hope you all have a good week! X

Ttc2n · 31/07/2023 07:06

It's the week of af for me but it's not arrived yet... had some nausea with some smells. Last month I ovulated a week late so af was a week late
This time I tracked ovulation a little- tried to just do it for when it's normally due, so fingers crossed it's not a week late again.

ttcthoughts · 31/07/2023 06:39

Morning Ladies,

currently on CD3 AF Turned up this weekend.

How is everyone feeling?

CinderRosie · 29/07/2023 13:08

@HavinKittens you’ve done the right thing by not tracking this month, and looks like we are cycle buddies this time! pretty sure I either ovulated yesterday or it’s happening today. I haven’t done any OPKs today yet, yesterdays were still positive the same as Thursday. We didn’t get to DTD Thursday night as I fell asleep which I annoyed myself about lol, but we DTD yesterday morning first thing. Tried to again this morning but we were in a rush to get somewhere so it didn’t quite work. Stressing I’ve missed my window, will hopefully DTD again later today.

HavinKittens · 29/07/2023 13:01

@Goldie1234 1dpo too? Yes we are synced!

@Vic231 ”spontaneous but semi planned” is exactly what I’m aiming for

OP posts:
Vic231 · 29/07/2023 12:20

@HavinKittens this was the first month where I thought about doing ovulation strips but I know what I'm like and I will get obsessed. I also think if I missed DTD at peak it would be an awful TWW of being pessimistic. Trying to be spontaneous but semi planned in my approach 😂

Goldie1234 · 29/07/2023 12:07

So glad you're feeling calm about this month @HavinKittens !! I think you and I have similar cycles and I'm on CD1 today ! Anyone else in TWW? We're on holiday at the moment so lots of down time to obsess haha I'm already excited for cd8 to arrive lol 🙈🙈🙈

HavinKittens · 29/07/2023 10:38

looking like a high/peak reading to me too @CinderRosie , how are things today?

How is everyone?

No tracking this month but both my cycle tracking apps say I would ovulate today based on previous data. I’ve had the usual ewcm I see at this time of month and we DTD twice in last week so hopefully there’s a chance. Hopefully can DTD today too. It does feel less stressful this way.

My next challenge is to not test until I’ve definitely missed my period. Wish me luck.

CinderRosie · 27/07/2023 22:08

Ladies would you say this is a peak?
I am CD12 and this morning I got a static smiley on the clear blue advanced digital but my easy @ home didn’t look quite positive…. I’ve been testing with easy @ homes during the day and just now I’ve got this.

@CinderRosie that looks positive to me.. I think some OPKs are more sensitive than others as I got a low circle on CB OPK on CD14 but got peak on Fermometee digital opk

But the smiley and that OPK look positive to me..
I would DTD tonight tomorrow and after as well x

Goldie1234 · 27/07/2023 08:35

Thanks for the pics and charts @fleur89 I love looking at all these ha

@mahii95 I think you caught it ! Fingers crossed

@Optimistic66 urgh so frustrating, definitely worse than a month you can try ! Do you have cycles like this often ? I remember having tonsillitis once and not ovulating but obviously thought I must be pregnant and all the pregnancy tests I was doing had to be wrong 🙈🙈 the doc eventually sent me for bloods which came back that I hadn't ovulated..

I'm cd15 and lh strips are getting darker 🙌🏽 🤞🏽

fleur89 · 25/07/2023 11:42

Just to add I think I missed catching my ultimate peak as I never got a reading higher than 0.7. On the 8th I got a static smiley on CB digital OPK so I prioritised DTD that day (twice!) and the day after on the 9th. The 10th (predicted O day) was a Monday and we worked late so no chance that day.

fleur89 · 25/07/2023 11:40

This is what my chart did this month and I got a BFP around 8/9dpo. Just in case helpful...

App predicted ovulation on July 10th, I think that was correct although I may have ovulated towards the end of the day on July 9th.

Come wait with me - July onwards
HavinKittens · 25/07/2023 11:34

@Optimistic66 my cycles have been getting shorter, they were 35-36 days at start of year and now 29-30. I had been taking B6, which I think helped them het shorter, but I’ve stopped now as I think it was making my carpal tunnel worse (had tingling in fingers at night). My anovulatory cycle was no different in length. Who knows what will happen now I’m off the B6. Just going to roll with it.

I can see it must be v frustrating having a super long irregular cycle and not knowing what’s going on.

OP posts:
CinderRosie · 25/07/2023 11:14

Hopefully so - maybe you have a quick surge and you’ve missed it or it will be picked up later today if you test again. If your BBT then rises sharply and stays up then you’ll know you have ovulated.

mahii95 · 25/07/2023 10:32

CinderRosie · 25/07/2023 10:31

@mahii95 im no expert but I’d say you are ovulating either today or tomorrow based on that big BBT dip.

Mine always does that the day of O or the day before.

So even if the opk didn't pick it up? I'm still good?

Thank you xx
