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.

Hi! When would you ladies recommend to test, how many dpo? Anyone with experience?

Scottish1 · 19/02/2019 15:51

Hi @Mum637k I think 12dpo is your best bet for early testing. I’m trying to leave mine until the day my period is due this month as I want a definite positive 🤞🏻 How many DPOs are you?

Mum637k · 19/02/2019 15:56

@Scottish1 I got positive ovulation test in the evening on the 8th and in the morning on the 9th. Is that 10 dpo? I've already taken tests and got negatives, I'm really really struggling 😆

Scottish1 · 19/02/2019 16:49

Yes, 10 or 11 dpo then, I think... Still early then. Wait two or three more days, I would say. It’s so hard isn’t it! Have you had any cramps?

@Scottish1 thanks those are great videos ☺️ I had very minor cramping yesterday for about 5 minutes or less. I may have just imagined it tough I'm not sure 😆 have you?

Scottish1 · 19/02/2019 17:48

Just found those videos and they have made me feel a bit more rational now 😂

Yes, I’ve had mild cramps for the past two days 8DPO and 9DPO. They’ve gone now though so I am hoping they were implantation cramps as this would correlate with what the woman in the video says... I was feeling down earlier as I thought they were af related-I mean they still could be but weird how I got them a week before estimated af and weird that they have gone now 🤔 I’ve decided to test on Saturday at 13dpo as the video suggests. That way I can have a few glasses of wine that evening to drown my sorrows if bfn 😂

Well girls hubby is going to the chemist and getting a test for me, I'm just scared of it being negative and that feeling of deflation, I've been wearing a towel since Sunday thinking AF would start but nothing at all, still got that lower backache feeling and don't know how many times I've been for a wee today! 😂

lizzie198 · 19/02/2019 18:15

@Lauraliverpool fx and make sure you post a picture of the test xx

Scottish1 · 19/02/2019 18:17

@Lauraliverpool I have a reallllly good feeling about this. Fingers crossed for your BFP!!! Also your willpower is amazing 😮😂

Well ladies today was my appointment with the consultant (endocrinologist) and it went really well. She put me on a drug called Cabergoline for my high prolactin, I have to take it for four weeks, do a blood test and see her the week after. She reckons it will drop my prolactin from 1200 to 100 within that time (the normal range is up to 400/500). So I think that sounds really positive and quick!

She says when that is fixed I'll either conceive or have a clear unexplained fertility issue because everything else is fixed. So I feel quite positive that I just need to get that hormone down to normal.

She also put me back on metformin for PCOS. The only problem now is that the Cabergoline makes you dizzy and nauseous and the metformin makes me need the loo (sorry tmi) so coping with them both will be hard!!!). But worth it hopefully...

My OPK is low again today so I'm counting today as ovulation day and TWW starts tomorrow. This part normally takes 10-11 days for me so AF due around 2 March. I'm not too hopeful for this cycle as the consultant said it's unlikely I can get pregnant with these hormone levels but you just never know so I'll keep my fingers crossed anyway and at least next cycle I'll have a better shot!

Mum637k · 19/02/2019 20:58

10ish dpo, very very faint if line at all? Been asking everyone I know 🙈

TWW starts now, join me!
Scottish1 · 19/02/2019 21:29

I think I see one! @Mum637k Keep testing over the next few days and hopefully it will be clearer! 🎉🤞🏻

That’s great news @agteacht!

ShortandSweet96 · 19/02/2019 22:47
