Back at the start of another TWW… anyone else at the same point and fancy being TWW buddies? We have tried the SMEP method and conceive plus lubricant this month, time will tell if they have made a difference!🤞🏼

Also my Premom app says I'm 6DPO not 7DPO like I thought so I may be a day behind 🫣

welcome @MsCactus you definitely covered it! Sending you baby dust for this cycle!

@boymumtoone i started getting sore boobs but only just today. And not super sore yet. Not like last time in the tww - my boobs throbbed.
im also feeling a bit itchy like a mild thrush (sorry tmi) but not sure if that’s a symptom cos of possible changing hormone levels or because I’ve been overly wiping checking for cm. I’m mad honestly 🤪I’ve stopped being quite so fixated the last couple of days.
im assuming canesten cream is safe to use incase I am pregnant? I didn’t dare use a pessary

I usually get sore boobs before my AF but today only one boob is sore which I find a bit strange🤣 I keep wiping go check CM too so your not alone! When do you think you will do a test?

How is everyone doing? Any new symptoms? I haven't had any symptoms yet apart from only one boob is sore which is odd!

Welcome @MsCactus ☺️ Hoping this is the cycle for us all! 🤞🏼

Welcome @MsCactus! 🥰
We’re a crazy testing bunch but all here to support eachother! I love that there’s so many of us to get one another through the tww.
Did you manage to dtd around ovulation? X

Thank you 🥰 makes you feel less alone. Yes we dtd both of the two days before ovulation. Am fingers crossed this month

At first I took the LH to tide me over from doing a hcg😂

is having a darker LH a good sign? I wasn’t too sure

Show quote history

When I was preggers with my first my LH peaked during ovulation, went down and then started rising again to a peak around my period.

When I was getting a peak LH test (first line darker than test line) I then tested positive for pregnancy. Apparently LH tests read as 'peak' when you're pregnant

I tested today at 7dpo even though I promised myself I wouldn't until I miss my period 😂😂 I'm weak. I had to get miscarriage bloods today so I told myself I was allowed to test 😂

@LuxyLocket haha that’s me down to a t! Squint until it magically appears 🤣
Exactly, we’ve still got time to get bfps! Definitely lovely talking to you all through it, makes me feel less crazy and helps to get through the loooong 2ww!🥰

LuxyLocket · 18/09/2024 19:22

@Emiily887 😂😂😂

I’m so glad it’s not just me with the ridiculously early testing! I did another last night and was squinting at it for ages. DH thinks I’m mad.
its still very early for us all so no lines don’t mean anything for certain yet!!! We’re still in it! 🤞🤞it’s been fun chatting along the way together on the cycle anyway - whatever happens.

LucyLou0527 · 18/09/2024 19:21

Well I’m glad we are all as nuts as each other😂🫶🏼

Emiily887 · 18/09/2024 19:17

I always have a rise in LH 3-5 days before af but I’ve also heard it can detect hcg too!
Anyone else think we’ve all gone mad?!😂
I’ve outdone myself today, not only did do the obvious and test at 7dpo, but I tested after work, after multiple cups of tea and bottles of water like something was going to show🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Kiwiburgh · 18/09/2024 18:43

Now you've all got me tempted to use an lh strip just so I can wee on something 😂
Lh strips do detect hcg however I'm not sure how sensative they are for that.
Have to be careful not to get hope up though because it can also be common to have another lh rise before af.

LucyLou0527 · 18/09/2024 15:54

Littlebean25 · 18/09/2024 15:50

Don't encourage me with the LH strips 😂😂 I hide my tests in the bin now like an addict 🙈🤣

Hopefully 🤞 for you with the raised LH!!

Littlebean25 · 18/09/2024 14:05

My symptoms are feeling heavy and backache 6+7dpo also moody as 😩 but only a few months off hormonal contraception so could be my normal cycle in which case I'll be a delight every month 🙄

PennyPencils · 18/09/2024 12:26

LuxyLocket · 17/09/2024 20:16

@Emiily887 yes I will test again on Thurs. that’s so exciting and a good sign! I’m glad someone mentioned this as I also feel my cm feels a bit different this month and I had some yellow/pink tinge on sunday. been having twinges on and off as well. Like gentle cramps low down. I had that in the tww when I was pregnant last time. No sore boobs yet which were a huge sign last time but I may not get them this time. All these little signs are like a brain tease aren’t they! Sooo hoping it’s a lucky cycle for us all.

I never usually symptom spot this early but I'm 5dpo and I'm noticing the gentle cramps too which I think might be different to usual.

Ldougal92 · 18/09/2024 12:22

These all sound super promising. I wierdly still have no symtons which generally is odd for me in my cycle!!

Due to my progesterone pesseries I have sore boobs and increased needing to wee!! so thats annoying as of course its also an early pregnancy sign.

6dpo so going to try and hold out 4 or 5 days!!!

LucyLou0527 · 18/09/2024 08:11

I haven’t wrote my 5dpo yet but this is me so far xx
