Anybody starting their tww?
Mine starts today, my app says test on the 25th so I'm challenging myself not to test early this time!

Come join me for 14 days of symptom spotting and a healthy dose of moaning about mean AF.

Thank you!
I did an internet cheapie there and I honestly can’t believe I’m getting a second line 😭 I don’t know if it’ll sink in!

Doris19 · 19/01/2019 11:57

@GB54 🥳🥳🥳💐🤗😬
Congratulations!!!!!! So pleased for you!

Figuringitout · 19/01/2019 13:23

@Mooey89 - that is pretty early. Previously I haven’t got a BFP until after my period was due. Fingers crossed for the next one.
@Scottish1 - I am also full of cold, so that’s interesting!
However, I’m symptom spotting all over the place and have nothing really to go on. Cramping this morning has passed. I am just going to try and wait it out until Tuesday when either AF will have come, or I will be late.

Figuringitout · 19/01/2019 13:25

Congrats @GB54 - hopefully there will be many more BFPs to folllow!

ShortandSweet96 · 19/01/2019 13:55

@closedcircuit I wish I'd read your message before I tested! I know it's soo early but had a inch of hope in me. BFN on frer today what a waste of a test, should have stuck to the IC's! Will try again in a few days. Congratulations to today BFP! how lovely this thread is becoming! Flowers

Can i join? I had this it, even though in a natural pessimist and don't think I'm pg this month the possibility of being (before af appears) builds this level of excitement of what could be. Then af arrives and you fall flat and deflate. It's a bloody pain so I'm trying to intentionally annoy dh with my symptoms as for him there's nothing until theres a positive test.

Ttc # 2
Average cycle 28 (sometimes randomly 24)
CD 21
7-8 dpo
Cycle 2 (although we did go through 7 cycles last year and then took a 3 month break to regroup and destress and avoid summer.)

Ive had cramps on and off for the past week. I keep imagining it's something, but it won't be. Slightly tender boobs for the past 2 days, but I reckon af will just appear early.

Frizzy1986 · 19/01/2019 15:38

That should've said... I hate this bit!

tedsy · 19/01/2019 15:42

Happy Saturday all. Congrats @GB54

It's 6dpo for me and so far no signs or symptoms at all. Some days this ttc business is definitely a test of patience!

Fingers crossed for every one else still hoping for this month.

Lauraliverpool · 19/01/2019 16:00

Girls can I ask how often do you dtd? X

fabmaz · 19/01/2019 16:00

@frizzy1986 I know what you mean!

I am noticing all types of things with my body and I'm hoping for a bfp this month but who knows, can only keep fingers crossed for us all

Frizzy1986 · 19/01/2019 16:03

We only managed CD 10, 12 & 14 this month in fertile week, which is why I'm not hopeful. Ewcm did start around CD 12/13 though. Hopefully next month we will be able to aim for every other day throughout the 2 weeks.

Lauraliverpool · 19/01/2019 16:12

@Frizzy1986 we did CD 9, 10 and 12 if this isn't the month then going to try more next month.

ShortandSweet96 · 19/01/2019 16:12

@lauraliverpool. We tried SMEP this month so dtd every other day until ovulation, then 3 days in a row over ovulation, rest a day then dtd again for good luck. OH was happy but I'm knackered!

Welcome @Frizzy1986!

Your symptoms sound promising! I always try not to get my hopes up because of rather think it won't happen and then be pleasantly surprised than think it will happen and be so disappointed!

We dtd 4 times over 6 day fertile window. So every other day when flashing smiley and then twice in a row on static smiley. I would have done it three days in a row on the peak but husband couldn’t manage 😂 I still feel terrible with cold but getting a real heavy bloating feeling in abdomen now. Trying to work out if it’s just wind but feels more like the heavy buildup feeling I get before Af..... Due on anytime from 24-27. Do you think it would be too early for period pains?

Scottish1 · 19/01/2019 16:34

I’m 8DPO I think

Lauraliverpool · 19/01/2019 17:30

@ShortandSweet96 I'm going to look into that if this isn't the month. X

Lauraliverpool · 19/01/2019 17:37

@Scottish1 recent cycle was 25 days so started testing for ovulation on day 7, day 9 got flashing smiley then peak the following day. DTD on flashing smiley, static smiley, missed a day then DTD again. Feeling more backache today which I get before AF starts and it's achey feeling in tummy. X

Mooey89 · 19/01/2019 20:23

What do you all use to test ovulation? I use IC ov tests but hear lots of people talking about flashing and static smileys, is that clear blue?

Lauraliverpool · 19/01/2019 20:32

@Mooey89 I use clear blue advanced digital ovulation tests they are the ones with static and flashing smiley face. I was using the clear blue advanced monitor bit the refills were some thing like 30 odd pounds where the ones I use now are about 20 odd pounds pretty much the same as the monitor except just use the sticks. X

Doris19 · 19/01/2019 20:37

@Mooey89 I use the same as lauraliverpool, clear blue digital opk's.

Mooey89 · 19/01/2019 20:43

Thank you x

Lauraliverpool · 19/01/2019 20:49

No worries @Mooey89 xx

Hummingbirdsarang · 19/01/2019 21:16

Age - 34
TTC - #1
CD - 21
Cycle - 2

I'm currently around 7dpo and this is harder than I expected. Cycle 1 on Clomid was cancelled as I had 4 follicles so this has been the first real chance. My day 20 bloods also confirmed ovulation this month. I'm excited but still know the chances are slim and I'm dreading the dissapointment

Lauraliverpool · 19/01/2019 23:05

@Hummingbirdsarang what day did you go for your 21 day bloods if you don't mind me asking. X
