THE DINO CLUB #1

Yeah hahah, although I’m terrible for just giving into temptation and I’m so impatient too. Feel like testing stops the wondering and the disappointment of AF arriving as I accept it before she’s here!

I think it can be both a sign and not a sign 😂 like the majority of symptoms!! Super helpful I know!

I know exactly what you mean, I get scared to get my hopes up as I know how disappointed I feel when I realise I’m out

According to Premom I’m 7DPO and CD21 so not too long to wait but I’m so impatient. Maybe we should try and motivate eachother to wait and not test early haha.

I’ve had a bit more CM the last 2 days than I normally notice I think but again that could be me just over analysing it and not normally noticing it. Does anyone know if that’s a sign of early pregnancy or being due on period?

I can’t decide whether talking about it like it’s happening/positive vibes/talking it into existence is the way to go or whether it’s just going to make me more disappointed if AF turns up haha.

Sending you lots of love girl, got to look after number one and do what is best for you. A month or two off can work wonders and reset your headspace especially if you’ve got other things to worry about too. 🫶🏻

I'm 6DPO and have literally pulled out a test packet twice today and put it back. It's so hard! 😫
We're all syncing up to be cycle buddies! 😇

Sending love @Heartypandaa !! Look after yourself and take whatever break you need 🫶🏻

@HE93C im only 4/5 DPO so not considering testing just yet, but I usually cave 8/9 and just disappoint myself so I’m going to try hold out (she says.. again..). How many DPO are you now and have you had any symptoms?

How are the rest of the TWW ladies getting along? 😊

Good luck to anyone still LH testing, hope you get your peak soon! 🤞

Just caught up on everyone’s updates, sending lots of love to everyone who needs it.

I’ve been away for the weekend this weekend and managed to be in the moment and more distracted but now I’m home and back to work I’m already fighting the urge to do a pregnancy test and AF isn’t even due for another week 🤦🏽‍♀️😂 anyone else get itchy feet and want to test every minute of every day? 😂

@Lila34830 its difficult isn’t it, as I want to wait until a missed period but twice now I’ve had CP and would like it to know if I have a problem with implantation 😭😭

Thanks @Gemmaemilyx and @Lila34830 . It's disappointing but we're still in the first month of TTC so I'm not feeling too bad about it. I've ordered a load of OPKs and downloaded the premom app to get charting properly next month. It's more the waiting and being in limbo as someone else put it!
@Lila34830 I think waiting to test is a good idea. AF due on Wednesday so I'm going to wait until Friday to test, if there's no sign by then. Next month I'll try to only test if AF is late, easier said than done!

What are the opinions of the group on HGC tests? Do you think the cheapies (like the premom I used) are less accurate than boots or clearblue?

CD 15 currently and tests are still low (around 0.2!) usually I peak cd13 so I think this one’s going to be delayed a few days! So frustrating 😭

@ThisOchreTiger i agree with @Lila34830, possibly CP. I still see two faint lines on the first tests. I’d keep testing to see if they get any darker 🩷

sending love I hope it works out for you xxx

I think mine was a false alarm. Did 3 this morning, first two with FMU and another with water. There's maybe a very faint line on one of the FMU strips but lighter than yesterday. Whatever the cause I'd say I'm out this month. Digital negative today too.

@ThisOchreTiger amazing news!! I’ve only just caught up and saw your first pic and could see a faint line so I was so happy to see your updated one has gotten darker 🩷🩷 so happy for you!!

@Heartypandaa sending you love ❤️ I’ve been thinking about you the last few days and wondering how you’re doing, look forward to when you’re back 🥰 xxx

Hey lass,

It's so important to take time for yourself, I hope you're doing well!

I'm much the same I'm 3DPO but I'm really trying my hardest to place it out of mind and get on with the day to day but i'll be lurking!

I hope everyone is doing okay with their part of the cycle.
@ThisOchreTiger Congratulations! Can defo see that line 🥳🥳

Came to say a quick hello to all of the wonderful supportive ladies dinos here @Lila34830 @Gemmaemilyx @KT199 @slothbat @littlebluu and all the new ladies, been lurking for a while, not fully ready to come back yet. Dont forget to fully live even while TTC, and be grateful for all that we already have 💫✨

Wishing you a great BFP soon ♥️ baby dust to everyone in this thread 🫶

Thank you @ThisOchreTiger @Toppstileslover I can’t believe the relief I feel! It worried me so much as it’s the one thing where intervention is not typically seen to be successful if you need any, so I feel so much more positive now 🥰

@Toppstileslover Hahahaha, well I’m glad you’ve made the most of your birthday and break away!! I bet it is so nice to not be testing and tracking, just going with the flow! I think if I don’t get a BFP this month I may take a similar approach over Christmas as I really don’t want to be doing all that, just enjoying the festivities !

So happy for you @KT199 this must be a huge relief 🩷

Sorry for my major TMI 😂 Hubby and I had been really struggling with DTD (honestly being at home is off putting!) and doing so frequently! So was nice to relax. Am now in TWW. Might test tomorrow for smiley but to be honest enjoying having a month off and leaving it with the gods.

That's great news @KT199 , one thing you don't need to worry about at least!

Had an ulltrasound this afternoon which confirmed I have ovulated 🥹 can’t explain the relief I currently feel along with very silly for getting so stressed/upset earlier this month!! Still having the bloods done tomorrow to check my PDG level phew!

I second this!! We didn’t do the 3 days in a row but we started every other day early (CD6 I think) and then 2 days in a row (peak and ovulation) and honestly it was so exhausting 🤣 it felt like it was never gonna end!!!! Especially with my ovulation not being until CD18 😂😂 but same as you, my OH towards the end actually said he felt that he had not much left 🤣😭

Can definitely see this one!! Ahh fingers crossed for this being your BFP 🫶🏻💕
