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.

What cycle day are you on @HeartvsHead

HeartvsHead · 17/02/2019 09:43

@Scottish1 I think CD18. Start of af was so stop start so that's going from first spotting. Most likely due to ov anywhere 21st-27th (CD22-28) based on my long cycle and variations. Hopefully start getting something in next few days.

Ok, you're all.gping to call me crazy but hear me out.
I'm 7dpo according my my app as it said I would have ovulated on the 10th.
But mumsnets own ovulation calculator said around the 7th so I could be a little over 7dpo.

Anyway, my friend have me a Lloyds Pharmacy test that she never ended up needing and me being impatient though ah why not..

I had to break it open to get a clear picture as they have plastic windows on, but I could see it anyway and I didn't reallt need to squint.

But can anyone else see it or am I just mental?

I even reversed the imagine because I really do think it's way too early to tell.

@ShortandSweet96 I can see something, although very faint in the picture. Fx for you it gets darker over the next few days. Do you 'feel' pregnant at all?

@tedsy
Nor even in the slightest! The only symptom I can think of is I qokw up last night with the most horrific back ache and like dull pulling/cramping belly discomfort. But other than that I've felt nothing at all!

Thankyou @heartvshead I’ll try that method! Have you tried tracking your BBT I’ve done that this cycle but let’s hard to always catch it at the same time every morning! Do you test your OPKs in an afternoon?

Rach031 · 17/02/2019 15:40

I’ll keep everything crossed for you @shortandsweet96 wait and take another in a couple of days (if you can!!)

Scottish1 · 17/02/2019 17:18

@ShortandSweet not sure where I should be looking for line in the test... is it the blue coloured line?

Doris19 · 17/02/2019 17:24

@ShortandSweet96 I think I can see something there. When's your AF due date?
@Rach031 welcome, there's lots of smep info if you google it. I was planning to try it this month but totally failed so not holding out too much hope (fingers crossed behind back). I don't do BBT but do clearblue ovulation sticks which work pretty well for me.

agteacht · 17/02/2019 17:34

Ohhh I am holding out hope for you @ShortandSweet96

Mooey89 · 17/02/2019 17:42

I can see it short and sweet but I heard that all of those have lines when they’re opened, can you get a FRER tomorrow? Xx

ShortandSweet96 · 17/02/2019 20:41

@mooey89 I will get a FRER on Friday as I live in the sticks so I'll have to pop somewhere on my day off Friday. Really hoping it is but I think it may just be an evap as I have no symptoms what so ever!

Hi everyone, I'm 27 and also in the tww. I had a MC before and ttc now again. AF is due in 6 days and I've been thinking I could be pregnant for a few days now. My symptoms:
Nausea today
Been having really long exhausting dreams a couple of nights (I normally never dream)
Feels like I'm weeing a lot

What do you ladies think? Has anyone had symptoms 6-8 days before AF was due?

ShortandSweet96 · 17/02/2019 21:00

@mums367k welcome!
I'm 8 days before AF and the only aymtooam I've had so far are bursting our crying yesterday when OH came home and put his pyjamas on rather than coming to do the food shop as he told me he would.
And I woke up with horrible back ache and a weird pulling sensation in my belly the other night. Other than that, absolutely nothing to indicate I could be pregnant!

According to Flo AF was due today, so far nothing wait and see in the next few days.

agteacht · 17/02/2019 22:59

Ooh @Lauraliverpool when are you planning to test?

I have had my OPK peak on day 22, well that may be late for most people but I had it on day 29 last cycle. It may be a coincidence but I've been taking Agnus cactus and soy inflavones to try to counteract some of my hormone issues, maybe they have helped. So rather excitingly I might be entering my TWW (normally 12 days for me 😂) around Tuesday. BD'd today and yesterday as well as a couple of times before that so hopefully lots of chances and will look to see if DH is up for it again tomorrow.

Fingers crossed for you all ladies xxx

Lauraliverpool · 17/02/2019 23:35

@agteacht don't know, going to wait a few more days and see if it turns up as think it was one month af was few days late and I got excited thinking I'd get a bfp but day or so later af showed up. Been having backache last few days and have felt sick last few days that could be anything though I suppose.

Definitely sounds like what you've been taking has made a difference to your cycle 🙂 fingers crossed for us all. 🤞 XX

Scottish1 · 18/02/2019 07:26

@agteacht sounds promising for this month 🤞🏻 and @LauraLiverpool hope period stays away! 🤞🏻

Lauraliverpool · 18/02/2019 07:55

@Scottish1 I hope so! 🤞

rachel59pink · 18/02/2019 08:31

Hi all

Thought I'd join this thread as currently in my TWW 😀😬. X

Scottish1 · 18/02/2019 10:46

Hi @rachel59pink ! How many DPO are you?

@rachel59pink
Have you had any symptoms yet?! :)

OP posts:
rachel59pink · 18/02/2019 16:42

@Scottish1 @ShortandSweet96 I'm 6 DPO and due next week. No symptoms I don't think just tired, headaches and slight cramping. I'm going to force myself to go to the gym tonight because I'm feeling so lethargic lately!

Scottish1 · 18/02/2019 17:03

Hi ladies! 8DPO and feeling fed up with this whole ttc malarkey! Period due a week today. Hope you don’t mind but going to have a little rant....I said I wasn’t going to get my hopes up but have! My boobs were so achey yesterday which I do get before af normally but this time it felt like the let down feeling when you are breast feeding-mild but def the same sensation. Of course I googled it and like every other bloody possible pregnancy symptom it was there! So I got my hopes up but today boobs feel normal again and I’m getting the mildest faintest af crampy feeling so now I don’t think it’s happened. I can’t remember how early I normally get af cramps although I did log cramps at 10dpo last month so not far off. I feel like my egg quality is probably not good now at 38 and so wish I was younger! I know I’m being impatient as this is only 3rd month ttc but just want it to happen!!!! Thanks for listening and sorry about rant! 😂 How is everyone else getting on? X
