Looking for TWW buddies!

Hi everyone, I caved in and I took a test but I’m not sure what to make of it. What do you guys think? I should be 9dpo

@Starrysky812 AF is due next weekend. Was wondering whether to test on valentines day but don't want a BFN to put a downer on the day. I think I'll try to wait. X

@Choc29 you're more likely to have an accurate result, the closer you are to your period due date, so always best to hold off for as long as you can. However that's easier said than done! I've got an early result Clear Blue and I'm telling myself I won't use it till Wednesday but it's so hard to wait! 😩 do you think you'll test early? When is AF due for you?

How soon should I test. I'm currently 6-7dpo. Should I wait till periods due or test a bit earlier? X

I’m also 7dpo 😬 I’m on progesterone this month which is giving me all sorts of pregnancy-like symptoms - exhaustion, sore boobs, needing to wee a lot - which is not helping me psychologically!!

@purplecolouroffunk 7dpo today - it's been such a long week! Good luck to you xxxx

@Starrysky812 ooh fingers crossed for you!! How many DPO are you now?

@purplecolouroffunk my cramps started this month around 3dpo too. Hoping it's a good sign for us! 🤞

Also in TWW 🙂 How is everyone feeling?

I’m only 3 DPO (I think) and feel very crampy today. I usually spot for around a week before AF proper but wouldn’t usually get AF cramps this early.

@Cols124 good plan! That's no too long to wait then! It's crazy how this time drags so slowly. I'm holding off till Wednesday in the hope that I can give DH some good news on Valentines Day ❤️ I've got a Clear Blue which says it can tell up to 6 days before missed period so 2 days early should be pretty accurate 🤞 and if it's negative, I can have a glass of vino with Valentines dinner 🍷 trying to find the silver lining!

@ChyLL hope so! How many dpo are you? When are you planning to test?

@Chairwoman definitely still in for a chance! I’ve been told by my fertility clinic that it’s completely normal to have cramping etc during your TWW and a positive test.. hopefully a positive sign for us both 🤞🏼♥️

@Chairwoman I think 7dpo might be too early as implantation happens usually 6-10dpo. However I've definitely been known to not wait that long! So if you have lots of cheap tests and want to give it a try, then go for it! I'm trying my best to hold off till next Wednesday (due AF on Friday so will be 12dpo by Wednesday).

I've still been having intermittent twinges and lower backache from time to time since 3dpo. I often get this each month with AF so I'm sure I'm out. However I do know that some women have twinges or cramps throughout TWW and go on to have BFP. What do you reckon ladies? My body just gearing up for AF or am I still in with a chance? 🤞❤️

What’s the earliest you are resting? 4dpo - I have a load of those cheap ones so not spending lots of money on them. Has anyone tested from 7dpo?

@Alh96 looks positive to me! Congratulations so exciting!!!!!

@Peonies94 im 10DPO and wasn’t expecting anything at all. I had spotting 2 days ago which was odd for me, but i had spotting last month when i was adamant i was pregnant, but got negative. I’m due AF next Tuesday.

@Alh96 they look very positive to me! I’d confirm with a FRER and a clear blue digital in a couple of days, but I’d say that’s positive! How many DPO are you? Good luck 😊

Please can someone tell me I’m not seeing things :( I’m currently 10DPO and I’m so scared that these are not the BFP I’m hoping for. Vvfl or indent?

@Chairwoman oh no! I’m so sorry to hear that! Such a rubbish time for you! Thinking of you and the family!😫

First month 3dpo today and my husband has just been told they are shutting his workplace. Awful, awful timing! Feeling quick shocked and absolutely gutted and tbh if I’m not pregnant, we probably won’t be trying again. Bittersweet. Just needed to share as totally overwhelmed and obviously haven’t told anyone we were thinking about another child!

@hopingforapeainapod ahh okay I have the vaginal one and my charts are usually pretty clear, like this, however this month I’m not sure what is happening! Yes that’s good! I have cycles which can last any time from 28-70+ days, so I do find the OPK’s are sometimes up and down with no idea which ones are clear, but my temps are usually a lot more clear! I use to just use a normal themometor and would always wake and walk around before remembering! So this way it doesn’t matter if I do that, so that’s what works for me! Yes I use FF to record all other data including my temps and find them really useful too! Ahh yes 🤞🏻🤞🏻 for you ! The. TWW is so long, isn’t it!

@Peonies94 I had the bracelet version and tbh maybe I should have persevered more with it (I have heard the internal sensor is more reliable / accurate) - I just found it a bit more of a faff to remember to wear it / take it off everyday and found my temperatures seemed to fluctuate wildly. I also think the Fertility Friend app is a bit more user friendly and I like the analysis features / being able to look at other charts! But I’ve always been very lucky that I have an obvious / reliable LH surge on OPKs so everyone is different! I agree though not knowing exactly where you are makes the countdown sooo much worse! I had a HCG trigger a week ago and they told me I would ovulate on Saturday morning, but my temp went up on Saturday morning and so FF is saying I ovulated on Friday so I don’t know whether I’m 5 or 6dpo! Really hoping 6dpo just to make the TWW that tiny bit shorter 😂

@FullMoon1917 looks like you covered it well anyways! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@FullMoon1917 doing this is the worse isn’t it? These two weeks are honestly torture! 😫
