My ovulation day is predicted the 14th, but not sign of EWCM just yet so may be a few days later.

Anyone want some company this cycle?

Was it a clearblue early? I dont use them anymore as they gave coloured evaps that were so convincing and broke my heart so Mayer try a pink dye test too as I’d hate someone else to have the same experience as me.

Im 9dpo today going to test tomorrow but think I have pmt (period is due Tuesday)

It was and I had 4 at home and each one until this morning was nothing. This morning however came up straight away but was faint but could see a blue line. I’ve had Evaps before.

Will pick up another brand tomorrow.

I’m still very cautious though and will get a digital one.

Well I caved and tested and got a faint line on clear blue this morning. Came up straight away. Will wait now to test again. But hoping this sticks.

@Ginny2018 Did you notice if you ovulated from your right side? this month I got pains on my left side on day 14/15 of the cycle when my ovulation was predicted. and then since the 19th Feb have had constant aches in my left hip since then now going into my bum and my back, i didn't have these pains last month so deff new for me.

Don't want to alarm you but last month i turned into a she Hulk was getting very angry and then also having bouts of crying but didn't get my BFP so not sure if hormones or stress of not knowing whats going on with our bodies

Im similar Dpo to you as well due 28th Feb but could be anytime till 4th march as have 28 to 32 day cycles

MY partner has noticed today though how drained and tired i am he said he can see it in my face

Ginny2018 · 22/02/2024 13:39

@Rosyposy26 Wooo!! So happy! And curious to see the test as well!

@UnicornPrincessSarah I have similar symptoms but on my right side. It's very difficult though to pinpoint if they could be implantation symptoms or if they are just my regular pains (I have a bad back..).

Other than that, my boyfriend says he's noticing changes in my mood (might be true), in the sense that I'm having some very tense/outburst moments, less patience. I don't know if it's a change in hormones or if it's actual tension/stress from the wait. Anybody else experience this? I'm 8/9 dpo (could also be 7dpo).

UnicornPrincessSarah · 22/02/2024 12:32

Hi Ladies hope your all ok

Im 7/8 Dpo still not testing but still keeping a diary of my symptoms

Before going to bed and this morning i woke up with a swollen lump feeling in my throat didn't hurt to swallow or not scratchy just tender, went away about 1 hour after waking up. Have some tightness in my left hip area and bum cheek when sitting down, the lumber part of my back in the middle feels a slight stretch sensation, few twinges in the upper part of my uterus, Feeling a bit tired/ warn out feeling or like i have done a biog long workout and body needs to recover lol

@Rosyposy26 whoa! congratulations. You're 8DPO, right? Fingers crossed this one sticks for you!

I'm also 8DPO but a BFN for me today.

How long have you been TTC?

Thank you. Not very long came of pill in October and fell December miscarried start of this month. So we tried again. I nearly 43 and partner nearly 44 so we don’t have time on our side. Hoping this one sticks the last one didn’t grow properly in 10 days only grew 5 days and measured 5+5 with a very slow heartbeat at a scan when I should have been 7-8 weeks. I then miscarried next day.

keeping optimistic but also know it can go wrong.

Westy22 · 22/02/2024 06:44

6dpo today, AF due the 1st. No symptoms just a heavy feeling very low down and bloated, I have upped my vitamins tho so that could be causing that tbh. Temps have been rising but dropped ever so slightly today. Good luck to you all 🤞

Ginny2018 · 22/02/2024 06:18

Just tested (8-9dpo) and still negative. AF should arrive the 29th so there's still time but not going to lie, was hoping for some maybe a very very very very faint line by now. But keeping hopeful!

How's everybody else?

Rosyposy26 · 21/02/2024 21:53

So trying hard not to test! Have a pack of cheap Amazon ones and a pack of clear blue early tests. Will be 8 dpo tomorrow.

AnnieStar12 · 21/02/2024 21:41

@Butterfly134 hello, and welcome to the thread of impatient women! Hopefully by end of this week we'll see some BFPs...

AnnieStar12 · 21/02/2024 21:38

Hahaha! These pictures are making me laugh.

I am 7DPO and admit I did a cheeky test this morning too. I said I was going to wait, but even I didn't believe myself - lol! I literally dreamt last night that I had a positive test, that's how bad this TWW is. I think this month is particularly anxiety making for me as if it doesn't work we are straight on to IVF so I'm hoping for a last chance miracle while also preparing for starting treatment once my period starts!

Some months I think testing daily puts my mind at ease and takes the pressure of a big 'test day' - I don't think there's any right way to do it, just whatever makes you feel better. We'll all know one way or the other in a week's time anyways!

Look forward to seeing everyone's tests tomorrow, haha!

Anonxo · 21/02/2024 21:24

@overthinkersanonnymus that’s the thought pattern of absolutely every early tester 😂

Hi all! I have just found this thread and so so
Glad I did! According to my Clearblue OPK I ovulated on the 16th. This is our first cycle trying for #2 and I am already so anxious as to what this TWW will bring. How are you all feeling?

overthinkersanonnymus · 21/02/2024 20:34

Well I've started now, so I might as well carry on 😂

@Ginny2018 paaaaa 🤣🤣 snap!!

I'm 5dpo and like "well maybe there is something there? and I am not like every other human woman, and I might get HSG flowing IMMEDIATELY."

I am of course, delusional.

I've tested 2 times already and I'm 7 max. 8 dpo 🤣 Any guesses!? All negative obviously.

But in all fun: my bf and I raved about the test below yesterday morning convinced we saw a faint line 🤣 as you can see; there is nothing. I'm laughing at it now but I'm testing again tomorrow. I bought a 20 pack cheapies before this cycle and told myself that it's ok to use them all if it makes me feel better and less stressed, maybe next cycle I'll try to control myself (probably not😅).

Shortcake06 · 21/02/2024 18:33

@piechipsgravy i feel the exact same about seeing negative tests! I think I’d just rather get my period 🙃
@overthinkersanonnymus haha 😂 it wouldn’t show positive yet! But I know that temptation well. I’ve even done tests in the past after my period started 😂

im having some cramps, had a terrible headache today and some tmi symptoms. But I know from experience it probably means nothing, and I need to keep my expectations low 🙈

overthinkersanonnymus · 21/02/2024 18:19

Help! I'm 5dpo and standing over an un-pee'd on test 😂😂

I'm now 7DPO I think? And really actually don't want to test... I was so sad last month to get the BFNs that I don't want to go through it again so have said I won't test until the 1st March. Not noticing any symptoms that i didn't have last month- sore boobs again and some cramps/twinges plus a banging headache today but nothing unusual or implying that I'm pregnant. I really don't feel pregnant or think I am but in a way it's helping me stay a lot more level headed. I'm managing to forget about TTC while busy whereas last month it consumed every thought!
