Hey, I'm just starting the tww and looking for some friends to join me for the wait. I'll probably test when af is due on the 16th. I've got to the point where I don't know what cycle I'm on - I think it's 8 though!

Congrats ladypug and welcome nandos

I'm a bit confused where I am in my cycle as I think I ov'd early this month. This is my 15th day of sore bbs but going by my usual ov day I'm only 12dpo. Does anyone else get sore bbs after ov?

I posted the above then went to use the bathroom and I have heavy spotting so thinking I did ov early and af is arriving. Only strange thing is that my bbs usually stop hurting when af arrives and currently they're as sore as ever!

I did my first test today as I have no control. I think its a BFN. Possibly a little tiny squinty line if I hold it at a certain angle but its probably just line eye Grin

I will try to not test until Friday now but it did come in a pack of two, so I'm kidding myself tbh.

Is an increase in CM a thing? Because I've had quite a lot of watery CM this month where I think I'd normally dry up.

Littleredwagon2308 · 13/09/2017 14:48

Betsyboo87 sorry if it is AF. Getting sore Boobs isn't a normal symptom for me at any stage of my cycle.

missanony I', 8DPO and my CM is creamy and I'm wondering if that's a sign or if that's normal for me. This is only cycle 2 and I didn't check CM during cycle 1. I'm learning so much about my body.

Betsyboo87 · 13/09/2017 15:21

Littleredwagon2308 thanks. It's crazy how much I've learnt about cycles since TTC. I noticed things before but never realised their was a pattern to my cycle. I think I'll be noticing ov signs now whether I'm TTC or not!

Ladies mind if I join you.. Currently 6dpo with AF due on the 20th.. Symptom spotting like crazy and trying to resist POAS stick until at least the weekend. Have a stash of IT cheapies and have invested in some FRER today.. So today I have had increased urination but realistically know this is way to early although I have convinced myself I am upduffed . Know I will cave before the weekend and POAS before then.

missanony · 13/09/2017 16:18

Welcome sleeping

nandostodayplease · 13/09/2017 17:36

I'm getting a bit obsessive about testing Grin I need to calm down!

When's the soonest people have had a bfp before AF?

CherryVicky29 · 13/09/2017 17:49

Haha same @nandostodayplease

cavatron · 13/09/2017 18:20

AF has arrived three days early for the first bloody time ever!!! As if! I'm out now ladies. Good luck to you all, and I'll be hopping on any June 2018 conception threads!

Littleredwagon2308 · 13/09/2017 18:21

Welcome Sleepingstarsmommy Smile I think I've increased urination too, but I drink an lot of water anyway and therefor pee a lot too, so it's hard to say.

I'm only on cycle 2 and not POAS yet! I've got some IC, but it's been easy to resist because I really don't want a squinter of a line, I want a BFP and when it gets closer to my AF due date I've started to feel her coming on so there's no point wasting an IC.

I'm 8 DPO and 4 days till AF due date, I've been feeling AF coming on since yesterday. I don't think I've ever felt her coming so early OR it's always been there and I'm listening to my body more? Last month when we were TTC I probably felt AF couple of days before she arrived. Another thing I'm learning? Betsyboo87. What a learning curve!

Betsyboo87 · 13/09/2017 18:42

Hi Sleepingstarsmommy. Sorry to hear you're out cavatron. My heavy spotting has continued so I'm 99% sure this is af. I'm getting so fed up with this, I don't even have the energy to convince myself it's ib anymore.

Hollsers92 · 13/09/2017 19:08

@Betsyboo, you're not alone. I've been devastated the past two cycles. It's a horrible feeling :( we will all get our positives one way or another though so try to keep positive. AF is due tomorrow for me, so I'm hoping nothing will show but not feeling positive either!

Betsyboo87 · 13/09/2017 19:24

Thanks Hollsers92. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I caved and POAS BFN for me. Wasn't FMU and AF not due til Friday but pretty sure I'm out. Think I just did it in case AF was late and I actually started believing I might be!

Sleepingstarsmommy · 13/09/2017 21:14

Well due to my increased urination I dipsticked my urine (I am a nurse) and no sign of infection.. and while I had a sample I thought why not test an IT cheapie. BFN of course.. only 6 dpo and not even first morning urine.. Still the temptation was too great.. My names Sleeping and I have a POAS addiction 😜

emma85x · 13/09/2017 22:36

Also joining if that's ok! I'm 7 dpo TTC DC2...DS1 is 14 months old (clomid baby) and TTC DC2 for the first time this month. DTD O+1 so not massively confident but lots of watery CM?!! Anyone else?!

nandostodayplease · 14/09/2017 07:19

Another BFN this morning, still 5 days till AF due though so hoping I'm not out yet

Presh12345 · 14/09/2017 07:50

Cannot deal with this TWW....even though only DTD yesterday....but twice!!!😱😱

lampert · 14/09/2017 08:03

I'm on cycle 1 of TTC and on cd25, 6do. AF due this time next week. I don't think we timed Dtd well and only did it twice in the four days before ovulation so I'm not hopeful. But despite all that I can't help myself and time is draaaaaaaaaging on so slowly!! I need to get a grip! So much respect for those ladies who have been trying for months and years and are still sane and positive about it all!

missanony · 14/09/2017 08:27

Bfn this morning, I think. I swear I can always see a bloody line

Any mid-sept testers?
DoAsDreamersDo · 14/09/2017 08:40

BFN for me this morning. I knew it would be, but I'm still disappointed. AF due on Saturday but I can feel her coming. I'm going to go all out next cycle then have a couple of months off on the run up to Christmas.

Chooklass · 14/09/2017 08:59

10/11dpo now and still haven't tested! This is major progress for me! Now away somewhere with no access to tests until Monday so for the first time since TTC I'll just have to wait for AF or test late! Boobs still sore, which is new for me ...

Chooklass · 14/09/2017 09:01

Sorry for those of you who've got BFNs, but as they say on mumsnet - you're not out until the witch appears xx
