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 finding all the posts very helpful and giving me a little bit of hope lol!

Figuringitout · 20/01/2019 17:18

@ShortandSweet96 I’m 13dpo. Yes, it’s a coop one, was £3.75 for two. I’m going to do the other in the morning with FMU.
Thanks everyone for the support, I know there’s a long way to yet. 🤞for everyone else testing this week.
Welcome @lizzie198 - if you’ve had sex in the fertile window, there’s always going to be a chance. I’m just going to say that I have had no pg symptoms so to speak of despite symptoms spotting like a crazy woman!

Doris19 · 20/01/2019 17:41

@Figuringitout that is definitely a positive!! 🥳 congrats! Another bfp for our group 😬

I am actually one less DPO than I thought 😭 doesn't say much for my maths skills which is rather embarrassing as I'm an accountant!!!! Got some cheap tests today though to feed my poas habit!

ShortandSweet96 · 20/01/2019 17:45

@doris19.
I think I am too, but not Sure as my flo app said ovulation was on the 11th, and it's pretty spot on with my periods every month. But every other app says I ovulated on the 12th. So I'm either 8dpo or 9dpo Blush

Congrats @Figuringitout !! Always love a good BFP pic!

I got a BFN on a FRER this morning. Still, only 8dpo and around 7 days until period due 🙄.

I just know I'll be testing every day until/if period arrives! It's reassuring to read about people doing the same as me too early and still going on to get a BFP

Lion8 · 20/01/2019 18:01

Hey everyone. Delighted to see some BFPs, it is so exciting! Keep us posted on how you're feeling.

I'm technically not due af till next sat / sun but of course wasted a frer this morn - not a hint of a line. Driving myself nuts imagining symptoms and so hard to tell if it's all in my head or not. Think I'm out but hoping not. Good luck this week Thanks

Scottish1 · 20/01/2019 18:20

I think I’m 9 dpo today. Got some on and off sharp twinges on both sides of abdomen and have a dull ache down left leg 🤔 Going to wait until Saturday to test unless AF arrives. It’s going to be hard but would rather not know for now than get a bfn 😂

Lauraliverpool · 20/01/2019 18:54

More back ache with dull what feels like crampy feeling, just felt bit off today and just had like a pulling sensation in my tummy. X

Hummingbirdsarang · 20/01/2019 18:58

@Lion8 I'm due af next weekend too. I'm probably going to test next Friday but holding off until then is going to be hard. Currently 8dpo

Hummingbirdsarang · 20/01/2019 18:59

Also I'm finding sympton spotting not helpful. Having twinges but it's hard to tell if it's not same as pmt.

Lion8 · 20/01/2019 19:06

@Hummingbirdsarang we can be testing buddies!

Hummingbirdsarang · 20/01/2019 19:10

@Lion8 let's! I'm going into next week convinced it's not worked this cycle.. I don't want to be dissapointed. Tbh it's my first real chance as last clomid cycle was cancelled.

Mooey89 · 20/01/2019 19:22

Congratulations to all those with BFP’s! Hopefully this is a lucky thread!
I’ve decided I’m not going to test unless AF is actually late. I need to try to relax myself a bit and hopefully that will stop me obsessing!

user1471605514 · 20/01/2019 19:50

Hi, hope nobody minds if I join in.
I’m 6dpo today and I’m so tired!! I slept for 2 hours yesterday afternoon and then still went to bed before 10! I’m trying to not get my hopes up and I’m going to hold off testing for at least a few more days.
Congratulations everyone who has a bfp!
My stats:
27
Ttc no. 2
Cycle 2
Cycle day 24

tedsy · 20/01/2019 20:20

Of those you you who are trying for #2 or more... do you remember having any symptoms before missed AF with your previous BFPs ?

user1471605514 · 20/01/2019 20:26

With my ds I felt really nauseous at 10dpo and got a positive the same day.

HeartvsHead · 20/01/2019 21:02

@tedsy I completely went off alcohol, it just didnt taste right. That may have been psychosymatic though as I suspected/hoped I was pregnant. Other than being tired the first few months and having a growing wiggly bump I had no symptoms till labour!

Frizzy1986 · 20/01/2019 21:04

I had cramps at about 5 dpo with dd1. I remember it as I was visiting my best friend for an overnight stay with drinks and I can recall saying to her that it was weird as I was getting cramps and you never know if it's normal PMS that you've never noticed before or a sign. I then got heartburn at 11dpo and I'd never ever had heartburn before so I tested the following day and it was a bfp. It was 1st cycle. Not having the same luck this time.
I've ordered some ics as I don't think I'll get a bfp this month, even though there's that bit of me still holding out hope. At least I'll have some for the next few months ttc.

todaywasafairytale · 20/01/2019 21:10

Congrats for all of the BFPs today! I'm 7DPO and not feeling pregnant at all. I think I'm just fed up if it not happening yknow? On cycle 6 now.

agteacht · 20/01/2019 21:40

Starting to go through that crazy I-feel-symptoms-but-I-know-I-can't-have-symptoms-yet phase @ 5 dpo 😬😬😬

Peaky1 · 20/01/2019 21:41

Does anyone use the Ava bracelet at all? This is my first cycle using it and there are rather a lot of stats to make sense of!
It didn't give me an option to put my cycle length in so it's guessing at 30 days. I guess that it adjusts as it gets used to you.
I also used opks for the first time this month (🤪) and I know that I ovulated on CD12 (where the I've placed the vertical bold line) which is different to where Ava predicted this first time.
What interests me is the temp dip I have in the luteal phase that is coming back up again. Apparently could be a sign of implantation.

TWW starts now, join me!
Peaky1 · 20/01/2019 21:42

Haha @agteacht I'm with you! I'm scratching my chin at graph dips 😂

HeartvsHead · 20/01/2019 22:08

My DD came out in chickenpox today. Was planning on testing next weekend. I have a feeling it's going to be a looooooong week!

takingtheplungeagain · 20/01/2019 23:04

Congrats @Figuringitout !! A good pink line there!!
Welcome new ladies!!

Figuringitout · 21/01/2019 06:27

Morning all,
POAS again this morning to check if it’s still there, and if it got darker. It’s a much more definite line today. Still, my anxiety has got the better of me and I’ve ordered some digital ones!
Hope everyone else is doing ok. Good luck to all testing this week, I’ll keep popping back for updates!
