Symptom spotting is the worst ! I've had months where we haven't tracked , when I convinced my other children i never tracked , so you lh level can fluctuate through your cycle so as long as it's not as dark as you peak you're fine , mine tends to always go up and down , I was using ovulation tests wrong to 🙈 it's so hard to tell the difference between pms and pregnancy symptoms , your close though I'm a day behind you , when are you planning on testing ? Xx

I'm honestly in two minds, I think I'm going to see where I'm at at 10dpo and see if I think I can hold out until 14 when AF is due! What about you?

This is the first time I’ve ever tracked cycles! I didn’t know much about ovulation before. I never noticed cramping before. I’ve seen I should have also tracked BBT.
@HRHXO I will also be testing Monday.

NoisyBee · 12/06/2024 17:40

@PeachLeader so sorry to hear you've got the flu. Hope you're feeling much better soon !!! Hopefully it it's taking your mind of the tww!

@imy awwh fingers crossed for you.. I am in the same boat that I have never seen even a glimpse of a line so if it looks different to the stark white ones then that sounds positive o :)

I'm going to stick with what premom says which is 5dpo so still feels so far away from testing but bbt has stayed elevated this morning

@PeachLeader aw no, so sorry you're unwell that's not what you need right now! I'm only 4dpo today and the days are dragginnggggg I'm probably going to end up testing next Monday when I'm 9dpo. Been back at work yesterday and today but off tomorrow with poorly toddler and I don't work Fridays at the minute so I hope the weekend goes fast!

I feel like 4-6DPO are when time really stands still! When you get to 7DPO you start to feel like you're almost there!

@iimy that's amazing 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 I really hope it's a bfp for you , I find men don't see the line until there's bright red and in there face xx

I hope so too, we'll see! My husband was so desperate to see it, he took the test apart, took photos and was playing with the settings on the phone etc 😂 I really don't know if I'm seeing things but like I said, I have never seen a line that isn't there before. We will see tomorrow! Hope you're feeling a bit better.

Hope you feel better soon @PeachLeader 💐

I’m 4/5DPO and had 2 days where my teeth have felt sensitive but it’s so early I’m trying not to read into that 😂 feel like everything else is a common post ovulation symptom I get.

Heading down to London for work until late on Friday so that should be a distraction!!

PeachLeader · 12/06/2024 14:52

@Melissae thankyou , do you not ally get cramps after ovulation?xx

@PeachLeader aw I’m pleased you’ve got the day off at least. I’d be feeling sorry for myself too! I had to get google translate out and the lady was very helpful once she understood 😂 I have now taken it and I feel like there could be a v v v faint line but my husband can see nothing and I can’t get it on my camera either, so I’m not sure! I’ve ordered the early digital test for tomorrow so it will actually say the words. I am swinging between feeling tentatively excited and like I might be kidding myself! I don’t usually see lines that aren’t there but we’ll see

PeachLeader · 12/06/2024 10:44

Yes I've called into work to say I'm unwell , I have zero energy and really feeling sorry for myself , oh my god that is funny asking them and them not understanding you was it like a Bridget Jones moment? Im sending baby dust to you 🤞🏼 when are you going to do it xx

Hello! Oh gosh I'm so sorry. I've never had the flu but even a cold is bad enough! Poor you. Can you take some time to rest? I'm still on holiday but I've caved and have just bought a pregnancy test. They only had clear blue 6 days early (I usually prefer pink dye tests) but we'll see. I won't be upset if it's negative! I'm 8DPO today according to Premom but I think I might be actually 9DPO. I had to go to so many pharmacies to find a test here! It turns out they keep them under the counter - not even behind the counter! So you have to ask (which is fun when they don't speak English lol)

How is everyone? I'm torn between manic symptom spotting and feeling down thinking I've got early PMS and wanting not to think about testing at all!

I didn't do ovulation tests this month, I'd only tried one before and used it wrong but I regret it a little now, I was just going off my apps. I did an ovulation test this morning and it was negative but one of those where the test line is kind of mid coloured (not as dark as the control but not really faint) and was trying to read into this too 😂

It's bad timing isn't it that if it is PMS all the grumpiness coincides with the TWW! My boobs still feel really swollen and sore and I felt a bit sick yesterday but it could just be psychosomatic or just general PMS misery.

I'm only 7dpo now, feels like ages! I ordered some early detection tests this morning but in two minds about whether to even use them before AF is due or if I should just wait and see if she's delayed a few days first.

Lastly as I have hypothyroidism my GP told me I had to tell them immediately if I was to get pregnant as they'd need to increase my meds right away. I'm sure a few days doesn't make a difference but there's me reading into it again thinking I'd better test earlier! The overthinking 😂

I've had months where we haven't tracked , when I convinced my other children i never tracked , so you lh level can fluctuate through your cycle so as long as it's not as dark as you peak you're fine , mine tends to always go up and down , I was using ovulation tests wrong to 🙈 it's so hard to tell the difference between pms and pregnancy symptoms , your close though I'm a day behind you , when are you planning on testing ?

I just use the pre mom ones I get them off Amazon in a pack they come with both ovulation and pregnancy test strips , I've used every brand I used the first response ones and got so many indents so I've gone away from them now and just stuck with the cheapy ones and I have so many here xxx

Thank you! I have those too with the ovulation sticks so will be using one of those on Saturday

I said Friday when I will be 10DPO (possibly 11DPO - I think Premom is a day out for me personally) but I think I'm going to cave and test on Thursday! I am on holiday at the moment and we fly back midday Thursday so I do think I'll end up testing when we get home. I'm so impatient!

Oh my gosh I'm so jealous , I'm very impatient to so I totally get it , you get that itch you just need to know like now ! Well my app is showing I'll be 8dpo , but I'm start from Saturday because I'm just that addict 🙈hope your having a lush holiday xxx

@imy @PeachLeader what sensitive tests do you recommend ??

imy · 11/06/2024 20:04

You'll be 9DPO on Saturday right @PeachLeader ? So if you get a super sensitive test, it could work!

NoisyBee · 11/06/2024 17:41

@imy what day are you planning to test ? I'm hoping to last until Saturday which will be 8/9 dpo
