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.

I’m an absolute terrible testing addict! My OH gets so annoyed with me because he says I’m wasting my money all the time but I just can’t help myself! 😅 I use the one step cassettes (www.<a class="break-all" href="https://amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00CL6XWVU/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?psc=1%29&ie=UTF8&tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-conception-3476913-TWW-starts-now-join-me" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00CL6XWVU/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1) which are super cheap and picked up on my pregnancy last time a lot better and clearer at 11 & 12 dpo than an a clear blue early detection did, then once I got a faint BFP on those I used a clear blue digital to confirm it 👍🏻

JadeSB · 22/02/2019 06:46

I wouldnt use the one step test strips as their rubbish at detection until your atleast a week late!

@ShortandSweet96 🤞for today x

@JadeSB sounds like are similar timings to me - af due 28th.

Scottish1 · 22/02/2019 07:43

@ShortandSweet 🙏🏻🤞🏻Good luck! ❤️😘

Scottish1 · 22/02/2019 07:47

@ShortandSweet I really hope it’s positive but if not, you can have a few drinks at the races and we can carry on to next month together. 😘

Doris19 · 22/02/2019 07:54

Thinking of you this morning @ShortandSweet96

JadeSB · 22/02/2019 07:58

@ShortAndSweet sending BFP thoughts your way! Don’t get upset if it’s not your month there is plenty more to come👌🏼

Doris19 · 22/02/2019 08:00

@JadeSB and I'm due 1st March too...curse long cycles! There are a few of us due around then, including @Mooey89 and @tedsy

Speaking of long cycles how are you guys getting on @agteacht and @HeartvsHead

HeartvsHead · 22/02/2019 08:15

@ShortandSweet96 good luck. Still early though so remember the 'it's not over till AF' mantra!

@Doris19 still dtd every other day. Forgot to do my opks last couple of days but set an alarm on my phone now to remind me. Afternoon is apparently the best time to do them and I kept forgetting till the evening. AF due somewhere around 8-12 March which is crazy when you consider I was in sink with ShortandSweet96 last month!

Hopefully there will be a few more bfp before then the it will be out turn hey?@agteacht

HeartvsHead · 22/02/2019 08:21

I'm not feeling hopeful after my last af. It was so light I know feel like my cycle isn't working properly. Mine are usually really heavy. I took one of the ic strip pregnancy tests after my period as I didn't trust it was a proper period! It was negitive though.

Lauraliverpool · 22/02/2019 11:20

@ShortandSweet96 good luck! 🍀🤞

Thank you all so much ❤ unfortunately FRER was negative this time but onto next month!

JadeSB · 22/02/2019 15:38

Oh no 😩 how many dpo are you?

Scottish1 · 22/02/2019 16:01

Oh no! @ShortandSweet 😞 I was so hopeful for you! Still could be early though.... 😉 Are you feeling any af cramps? I think I will be joining you next month anyway-don’t think I’ll be lucky enough to get a bfp this month for some reason. Hope you feel ok! Enjoy yourself at the races tomorrow! 🥂

@jadesb @scottish1 12dpo today and AF due in 3 days, used a 6 days sooner FRER so I can safely assume I'm out.
I'm ok, a little sad but it's only cycle 4 so I can't complain :)

Are you using OPKs @ShortandSweet?

Scottish1 · 22/02/2019 16:16

Sorry if you have mentioned this before! So many ladies on these threads-I can’t remember who is doing what! X

JadeSB · 22/02/2019 16:18

@ShortAndSweet well it’s still possible if you implanted late, but perhaps best not to get your hopes up to much 😕

Mum637k · 22/02/2019 16:28

What do you ladies think? From this afternoon, top is unedited bottom is edited. I can something there but what? I don't know anymore 😩 Had mild AF type cramps today (i never get them before AF only second day of AF) but maybe my AF symptoms have changed since mc?

TWW starts now, join me!
JadeSB · 22/02/2019 16:37

@Mum637k I can definitely see the faint lines on both pictures!

JadeSB · 22/02/2019 16:40

@Mum637k answering the second part of your message, how long has it been since your mc, one first AF last month which was first one since mc was crazy, a lot more cramping, bloating but didn’t bleed as much as usual AF, my bodies still trying to figure itself out I think

JadeSB · 22/02/2019 16:42

*my first AF last month

Mum637k · 22/02/2019 16:44

@JadeSB I had 1 AF since mc so far. No symptoms beforehand just bleeding started as usual. I have been getting this same faint since maybe 4-5 days ago? Is it possible for it to stay the same faintness and it be a bfp? Seems like no change really so I am so confused 🤷‍♀️

JadeSB · 22/02/2019 16:51

@Mum637k thats unusual, I would have expected it to have become darker after 4-5 days seeming as the hormones double every 24-48 hours 🤔

Mum637k · 22/02/2019 16:58

@JadeSB yes it is odd, I just need to prepare for AF now I think 😞 hopefully soon I will get a bfp ☺️
