Looking for TWW buddies!

@Harriet1989 feeling okay actually. Quite hungry and tired but so far so good. Only 4+1 now though so maybe too early for symptoms to really kick in. Yes I wasn't tracking at all this month. I did 2 opks the day before and the day that ovulation was expected (ie day 14 of 28 day cycle) because my ewcm had already gone and I thought that was weird. Anyway they were both negative so I don't know when I ovulated this month. DH and I DTD quite a lot that week so looks like we were just lucky and caught it at the right time. Fingers crossed for you! 🤞❤️

Thank you! How are you feeling? Was this the month when you weren't tracking as much?

I'm now 11DPO and AF was due today but nothing yet, still feeling cramps and nausea but BFN on a wondfo this morning (in between trying to get my DD and SS ready for school 😅)

@Harriet1989 good luck! Sending baby dust xx

Thank you @purplecolouroffunk 🙏
It's so frustrating when our bodies keep doing different things each month! Keeps us guessing. Good luck 💜

@Starrysky812 I bet! So happy for you 😍

I’m doing okay. I seemed to ovulate later this month which is really frustrating as due to travel, in the end we were only able to DTD 4/5 days before ovulation 😔 I was definitely expecting ov to be sooner!

I’m 2DPO or maybe 3DPO now and had really light pinky creamy CM this morning, and quite a bit of it, which has really confused me. I’m a spotter but don’t usually start until a week before AF and AF is 12 days away 😅 Something different every month eh! 😂

I'm 10 DPO today with AF due tomorrow and I've been having cramping and nausea since a few DPO.

The cramping feels like AF but my BBT has stayed up at 36.8 yesterday and was expecting it to drop this morning ready for AF tomorrow but it was still up and so I got very excited and did a FRER but BFN 😞

@purplecolouroffunk aw thank you lovely. Can hardly believe it.
How are you doing? Sending lots of positive energy your way ❤️

@Starrysky812 and @Cols124 I've just noticed your BFP news - that is so wonderful to hear!! Congratulations! 😍

@FullMoon1917 good plan. Lots of luck and baby dust ✨✨✨

@Starrysky812 thank you! That's giving me some hope... i caved and did a first response today but nothing, but I know its still early.

I have been feeling so under the weather the past few days, I have to be either fighting something or pregnant. Will wait now till the weekend I think to give me a break from it

@FullMoon1917 it's hard to say. I feel like I was feeling a bit "different" this month but hard to know how much of that was just wishful thinking. The main difference for me that was making me suspect was less cramping and twinges than usual. Usually that starts for me around 2-3 dpo and continues quite intensely until af arrives. However this time I had nothing for a few days, maybe 5 or 6 days, and then have been having random cramps, twinges and lower back pain since. Much milder and less noticeable than usual but still feeling pretty much exactly like af pangs and going on for around a week now. LMP was 15th feb so I'm not even 4 weeks yet, and so I think it's normal to have no symptoms so early on. With DD I didn't notice any symptoms until after missed period and it was no af that made me test.

Keeping everything crossed for you ❤️🤞

@Cols124 @Starrysky812 congratulations to you both!! I am due Sat/Sunday so have held off testing but symptom spotted like mad and not feeling too hopeful 😕 did either of you have any feeling it would be a bfp? Xx

@Cols124 oh and happy Mother's Day! 💐

@Cols124 congratulations! ❤️❤️❤️
I caved and took a test yesterday and got vfl. I did a few more throughout the day, still with vfls (period not due till Wednesday /Thursday). I did a clear blue early digital with fmu this morning and got BFP! I'm over the moon for us both ✨✨✨

Quick question - I usually have ewcm for a few days in the run up to ovulation and then a day or so after. I'm due to ovulate (according to Glow which I just use to record my periods and give me a rough idea of ovulation) tomorrow. However my ewcm has gone already! I had a lot over the weekend and Monday, hardly anything yesterday and nothing today. My 15 month old has a cold so she has been BF a bit more than usual especially at night. Could I have ovulated a lot earlier, even though I have a pretty much exact 28 day cycle, or is it more likely I'm not ovulating at all this month? Does anyone else have experience of this sort of thing? Trying to keep chilled and avoid any opks 😆

Hi ladies! I'm due to ovulate tomorrow or Friday but I'm also not tracking this month. Just take it as it comes and see what happens. Will be keeping my fingers crossed but not going to put any pressure on the situation. Good luck to everyone ❤️

@Cols124 i am at the start of my next fertile window but like you I am not going to track and go mental like I did last month. I think its causing me a lot of stress which is counterproductive!

Last time I kept doing LH and the amount of pregnancy tests i did was ridiculous.

I am waiting to get a HyCoSy done at the hospital so that gives me some hope that things are moving forward.

If its meant to be its meant to be! Xxx

Your probably getting sick of me now 🤣. My period lasted 1 day. Wasn't majorly heavy. I did take 1 tranexamic acid tablet yesterday as my periods are absolutely horrendous usually but wouldn't have thought 1 tablet would stop it completely. X

AF arrived this morning , 1 week late. I'm gutted but also received I finally know now. Starting month 3 with so mutch more knowlege of OPKs and supplements. Onwards and upwards. Xxx

It's kinda silly cause I know I should test, but I guess not testing lets me hold onto a bit of hope. Which is probably more unhealthy mentally tbh 😂

The blood I have just now is somewhere in between spotting and AF. Yesterday and today it's been slightly more red in the morning and then has really dried up and gone light pink again by bedtime. It's interesting that you had some spotting too and that some of it was dark.

I've been feeling run down for about a week now. Wake up each morning with a sore throat and blocked nose, but it's never actually turned into a proper cold.

Thanks for your chart! Looks like you got a nice implantation dip :)

I only started temping at 9dpo this month having never done it before, so sadly I really don't have any data to compare it to. It went down a little at 11 and 13dpo, back up, then dropped a bit 2 days before AF was due, but then went straight back up again and has stayed up. I guess I got my hopes up cause I know temp is meant to keep dropping before AF and mine hasn't. Is that a really common thing? I guess maybe it's just my norm is to stay high around that time as I don't have previous months' data to look back on.

sorry here is my chart without the resting heart rate.

I want to say try a test at least you will know but I also completely understand as to the disappointment that comes with a bfn. Spotting isn’t so bad but if there was bleeding then I wouldn’t be so optimistic for you.

I believe at 16 dpo I thought I was going to get a full blown cold or virus or something but it went away. I’m assuming it was due to the fact that your immune system weakens a bit so your body doesn’t attack the pregnancy.

I was spotting from the 17th up until the 21st it even got dark and I was super stressed out about it but it did stop.

I have attached my temp chart for you although my temps have been giving me mini panic attacks. They say stop tempting once you get your bfp and now I know why.

Hi @Brianna4kd! How are you doing?

I'm currently at 16dpo and I'm too nervous to test 😅

I've had my usual spotting from about 6dpo and it's been pretty light but hasn't stopped really at all this month. AF 'proper' I think was due yesterday, but it's hard to tell because for a long time I was marking my spotting as real AF and annoyingly I haven't marked when the heavier 'real' flow starts in most previous months (was yesterday according to last month). But how can all that spotting be good for a BFP? Although I have read a few positive stories.

The only reason I was holding onto hope this month was because I've been feeling queasy, had stuffy nose/sore throat, by boobs feel sore in a different way (actually way less sore than usual), have had lots of ovary twinges, I've been starving after I've just eaten, my spotting has been lighter, my temp has stayed high and still is, by RHR has steadily gone up.

ANYWAY, I feel so sure AF is going to turn up, that I think I'll just wait for her. It feels like a softer blow somehow than getting a BFN at 16dpo, which would be pretty definitive. I just hate those stark white tests, ya know.
