TWW - anyone else testing in early March?

I'm just starting the dreaded TWW and could use some company. All the other threads on this seem to have reached the testing stage already.

I am 2-3 dpo and planning to test on 4 March. We have been TTC for about 18 months and are getting fertility treatment. I am pretty sure I ovulated this month though, so I have have high hopes for this cycle.

Sorry Andy can't see it either. Welcome theother. Fx for you. I'm no expert on opks but think it's very easy to miss the LH surge.

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 01/03/2017 17:32

Can someone help me - Ovia says I'm CD21 and that my period is due in 9 days. But surely that's a 30 day cycle not a 28 day one (I was 28 last month). I ovulated on CD14 (23 Feb). When is the earliest I can test do you think? If 4 to 5 days before AF due then would that be CD 23/24 so this fri/sat?

boatrace30 · 01/03/2017 17:54

Not sure you are asking the right people hopefully. Lots of too early testers here. As someone with a very irregular cycle, I never worry about when AF is due anyway, but instead go by days after I think I ovulated. So if you ovulated on the 23rd you are now 6dpo. I would wait till 10dpo at the earliest and hen only test if you've got a super sensitive test. If not wait for 14dpo. And definitely don't trust any negative results until AF turns up. ( I just keep testing, which means I get through a lot of tests on long cycles!!)

boatrace30 · 01/03/2017 17:55

I'm also a terrible hypocrite having tested on 4,6+8dpo!

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 01/03/2017 18:08

Thanks boatrace - why is the stupid tww so bloody long?! It sucks. I'll wait. Otherwise literally pissing money away.

ethelfleda · 01/03/2017 18:28

Hi hopefully don't know if it helps you but I don't find ovia reliable. I only use it as a rough guide. It never gets my fertile time correct anyway!

Oysterbabe · 01/03/2017 19:22

It's definitely best to go by ovulation I think, providing you know when that was. I'll be 13DPO tomorrow and might go and buy a test at lunch to use at the weekend if no AF. I didn't want to buy one that early in case I'm tempted to use it but it's going to be the only chance I get until Monday.

HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips · 01/03/2017 19:33

I know roughly when ov was as I got a strong positive OPK so I'm sure it was 23rd. I might do a test this weekend and see if it picks up anything. Good luck for those testing!

sorry didn't mean to post twice :-(

Andysgirl15 · 01/03/2017 20:34

Hi 👋 to the new ladies.

Thanks for looking at the pic ladies. But I swear it's there irl. It's really putting me off testing in the morning as I know my heart will sink if I get a bfn. I got a bfp with DS at 10dpo with IC + FRER so my mind automatically thinks it's going to be like that next time I'm pregnant which will make the possible bfn even harder 🙁

dangle90 · 01/03/2017 20:46

I know what you mean Andy's, I know I'm out because I haven't had a sniff of a line at this stage :/ ! We need to try stay positive don't we! xx

ethelfleda · 01/03/2017 21:03

Hi sarah 🖐 welcome and baby dust to you!
Well I feel like crap this evening. So tired, so incredibly thirsty and when I got hungry I also got lightheaded and dizzy! Went out for McDonald's (getting kitchen done at the moment so perfect excuse) got diesel on the way and it smelled really strong to me!! Ate my food and felt sick after and now am just exhausted. If I don't get a BFP this month then I think a trip to the docs is in order!! I'm thinking the smell thing might be because I've been off the cigarettes for 3 weeks... but I wasn't really a heavy smoker - only with alcohol. Who knows. God I hate this waiting! Determined not to test until Monday!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 01/03/2017 21:23

Sarah I've been having the same symptoms including the thrush at first ! Still BFN for me at CD30 but I'm not giving up hope as still getting symptoms and no AF

boatrace30 · 01/03/2017 22:06

Definitely positive signs ethel Smile. This eve it def feels like AF is on the way 🙁. Not good as only 8dpo. I've been suspecting I have luteal phase issues. So AF now will confirm that

Oysterbabe · 01/03/2017 22:59

I really feel like AF is on the way too, although cm is still clear. I have a really crampy heavy feeling. I think she'll show tomorrow.
Good luck to those testing in the morning!

Addtothechaos · 02/03/2017 06:30

Morning ladies

Good luck andy I hope it is a bfp! Keep us updated!

I'm 9dpo today (according to fertility friend) and I've been having sore boobs and high temps all the way till this morn when my temp has took a big dip (did get up and about with ds before I took it though) and I think my boobs don't feel as sore Sad so I'm thinking af is on her merry way! Still 5 days until she's due to arrive though. I don't remember having sore boobs with my other two dc until around the 5 week mark so not sure if I should even acknowledge that symptom or not? Seems too early!

Good luck to anyone testing this morn! Xx

Andysgirl15 · 02/03/2017 06:40

I officially give up. Bfn this am with ic and frer. Not testing now until af is due.

Been back over my dates and I might actually only be 9dpo today and not 10

Oysterbabe · 02/03/2017 07:05

Sorry about the BFN Andy Come and join me in the late testing corner.

Chaos I've thinking my lack of sore boobs mean I'm out, they were definitely sore before AF was due with DD. I guess we're all different!

Cramps and nausea this morning but no sign of AF. 13DPO.

ethelfleda · 02/03/2017 07:20

Good morning ladies!
Addtothechaos you can probably discount a temp taken after you move about. And anyway, there is such a thing as an implantation dip 😊
Andys and oyster can I join you in the late testing corner??
10dpo today and my temp has risen again BUT DH left heating on all night and woke up feeling really warm so that is probably why! Boobs still sore but that's not unusual either. Going to physically try and stop myself from googling symptoms today!!

dangle90 · 02/03/2017 07:25

Morning ladies. I'm just laid in bed debating wether to do another test or not... told myself I'd wait until sat when AF is due Hmm

actino · 02/03/2017 07:29

Anyone feel like analysing my chart? I'm a bit discouraged by my temperatures, I was hoping for more of an increase. I take them first thing when I wake up. The notes are about are a brown/pink discharge. Other than that, I have sore boobs that felt a bit heavy yesterday.

TWW - anyone else testing in early March?
ethelfleda · 02/03/2017 07:29

Be strong Dangle and hold out Smile

dangle90 · 02/03/2017 07:31

Sorry about the bfn andys :( x
