@MamaB12 I’m gona test Saturday or Sunday I’d say, I’m due af on Monday/Tuesday but I know I’ll not last until then and back to school anyways so would prefer to know either way before that, we’ll see 😅 the only thing I can say I’ve noticed this tww is I have heartburn after drinking coffee which I’ve never had before 🤷🏼‍♀️
last month I had every symptom going and had myself so convinced it was bfp. I was so shocked when af arrived.

my lo wasn’t well (temps) yest and today so we haven’t really left the house which I think has been awful for me over analysing. Deff getting out of the house tomorrow and Friday (all going well)

@Starryxx have u pregnancy tests in the house? Might be worth doing one just to see

i feel like in past iv had symptoms in the two week wait then AF arrives that’s why i’m not getting my hopes up😩
Please keep me updated on your test result or any new symptoms! 🫶🏼

hi everyone! sorry if I’m posting in the wrong place :)

just looking for some advice if anyone has any

anyway so af is due in 2 days and im not having any af cramps as of yet. i’ve noticed a week before all cycles i get horrible heartburn but i haven’t got any yet. im currently on cd 26 and my cycle ranges from 25-32 days. according to my flo app i ovulated around the 5th/6th feb ( i dont track ovulation as of yet just keep an eye on my cervical mucus)

I usually spot in my tww as a standard,
however on monday so the 16th i woke up to what i thought was af. i got out of bed and felt a (sorry tmi!) warm gush of something so i went to check and it was fresh blood, probably a tablespoon. i put a pad on and noticed at work there was a tiny bit more on the pad and since then i haven’t had any blood!

yesterday i had one occasion of cm which was mainly like a (sorry tmi) gloopy browny light red colour.

fast forward to today i have had my usual discharge/cm and there’s been tiny pink/red streaks in it but the majority of it has been just the usual cm.

its all just so strange 🤣

8 dpo and going a little stir crazy as I’m off for midterm so too much time to think and over analyse 😅

@MamaB12 I’ve never done the temping before, what did gpt say when it analysed it? I get gpt to analyse opks, cm pattern along with rhr to predict as close as possible when ovulation happened, it’s hard feeling like it’s totally out of our control isn’t it!

@Howeverfar i do the same with symptom spotting and tbh I could have same things happen when not ttc but would pay no heed, it’s funny what we convince ourselves of. I was so so sure last month, to the point I was like ‘what’s this’ when AF arrived 😂

when does everyone generally test?

yep i’m off work for the week (teacher)
so i’m trying to stay as busy as possible with my 6 year old 🫣
i can’t remember exactly what chat GPT did say as it was 6am this morning; it was nothing exciting haha!
when are you going to test? i want to wait till AF arrives but i don’t know if i can wait that long, not due AF till 27th 😩

I'm 5/6dpo (LH surge on Wed with temp rise thurs morning so unsure which was Ov precisely). It's cycle 1 for us and I am going mad with the symtom spotting. I get ovulation pain and have had weird little feelings on that side since ovulation (though not today), not painful, just sensations in that area. I have been bloated constantly also. I keep googling the little picture of the stages the week after conception. Also today I feel like my boobs are trying to escape my bra. Problem is I'm not sure if this is just what my body does the week after ovulation as I've not tracked before.

Is this your first cycle TTC? how exciting!!🫶🏼sending baby dust your way!
when are you going to test or are you waiting till you have missed a period? i’m 7DPO today,
iv been tracking my BBT so i asked chat GPT to analyse it for me lol but i think im just being crazy !!!
