TWW - testing 4th September

[Blossomingflower94]

Anyone else in the TWW and want to keep each other sane?

@Raizelrea best of luck for tomorrow but 10dpo is early so it's not over until AF arrives xxxx I've had cramps today so maybe that's a good sign xx

Thanks @AliSxo - I agree 10 DPO is still early days, if I wasn't going out I'd be waiting till at least Sunday. I'm in a weird frame of mind where a part of me thinks there's no chance this month and a part believes I must be because I've convinced myself of a weird reincarnation theory 😆 (the former part thinks the latter is absurd!). Don't think I'll be crazy upset if it's negative though, I kind of pushed TTC out of my mind for the moment till January maybe so the current plan is to just go with the flow till then.

Yes cramps could be a good sign since it's way too early for you for it to be PMS I reckon! Fingers crossed 😊

Any update ladies?? :) x

Hey @Raizelrea a lot of people say when they stop trying it happens so fingers crossed for you!! Did you test today?

@Blossomingflower94 really itchy boobs today and had a bit more CM the last 2 days, fingers crossed, I'm testing on Sunday with a FRER XX

Hi ladies, BFN for me though to be perfectly honest it wasn't exactly FMU since I woke up in the middle of the night and had to wee so really it had only been 3 hours since the last time I'd been to the loo. Anyhow I'll assume negative for now and retest at the weekend. Definitely was more nauseous last cycle when I had the faint line though.

@AliSxo I'm the same, crazy amounts of CM this month but not sure if that means anything.

@Blossomingflower94 How are you feeling? Think I read somewhere on hear ginger biscuits are meant to help with nausea (can't be the judge of that as I hate ginger haha)

It's still so early @Raizelrea so maybe test again tomorrow and if it's not FMU then that explains it too!! Hoping for a BFP this month but if it's not meant to be that's fine xx

My sense of smell has increased 😂 boyfriend was downstairs eating crisps and I could smell them. Hoping for a BFP when I test Sunday!! Boobs are still stingy. Xx

Everything crossed for you both in the morning. 💙

Hey, bfn for me today! That's ok, I can test again tomorrow and we'll just have to wait and see xx I used a FRER xx

Hi ladies, AF has arrived for me so on to the next. Did you test again today @AliSxo ? You seemed to have promising symptoms so fingers crossed!

Hey @Raizelrea a few days before AF is due for me, bfn's so far not even a hint of a tiny line!! Currently 11DPO - last month I got my BFP at 14DPO but that didn't end well so who knows, maybe I'm out this month, it's got me down today. At least it's a new cycle now and you'll be ovulating soon 🌸 how long are your cycles? Xx

I'd say you're not out till AF - don't think the timing of your BFP is necessarily linked to the viability of the pregnancy so try not to compare it to last month.

My cycle length depends on the ovary haha - seem to alternate between 28 days on one ovary and 31 on the other (so I guess I'm fairly regular but each side has a different cycle length, funnily enough).

Annoyingly I'm feeling really nauseous, nearly had to dash for the loos in the office. Guess my hormones are having a party.

It's such a pain how af symptoms are so similar to early pregnancy. I actually googled both the other day and it was the same list!! We'll see what happens I'll keep you posted but feel like I'd have a line by now if I was pregnant!! I'm on a 25/28 day cycle but think it might be slightly longer this month after my early m/c xxx

@AliSxo 11 DPO is still early, don't think you'd necessarily have to have a line yet. I'm still hopeful for you - especially with the heightened sense of smell you'd been noticing!

Decided I'm not testing today, cba for the BFN!! AF due Saturday according to Flo app so might just see what happens being as it's already Tuesday and I think it'll arrive more like Thursday/Friday as I normally have a 25 day cycle xxx

How are you both x

Hey, no AF yet, still bfn's but I'm testing in the evening as it ruins my day when bfn first thing!! Just plodding in xx how are you? Xx

Hey, AF got me today so I'm having a 25-27 day cycle pattern, not the result I wanted but new cycle and I'm hoping this is my month!! I'm going to follow the SMEP and do more OPK tests - I've not done the clear blue ovulations so flashing smileys are all foreign to me but if it doesn't happen this month I may try them out in December xxxx

@AliSxo Sorry about AF, it was looking so promising! I like the CB OPKs, nice to see a positive test of some form at least 😆 I think they may be more sensitive than regular OPKs, never quite had a stronger test line than a control line but I did get static smileys. Hope they work out for you! I haven't decided if I'll use them this month yet.

@Blossomingflower94 I'm alright thanks, CD 2 or 3 I think. Not quite sure what I'm doing TTC-wise this month, I thibk we may just DTD every other day and not bother with OPKs. Have you had any scans yet? How are things going?

Sorry ladies. I was so hopeful for you both.

I'm ok ... Well I'm not but I am. Im really struggling with all day sickness. I have about 2 hours vomit free each day which is tough currently. I'm sorry I've been MIA. I didn't want to moan on here knowing fully well you two would love to feel like this right now.

No scans yet, got my 8 week booking appointment next week then hopefully a scan before Christmas.

@Blossomingflower94 Feel free to moan! I have no illusions that pregnancy (or parenthood for that matter) is some perfect fairytale, don't feel like you can't share your experience! Must be exhausting to feel sick for such a long portion of the day, day after day.

Hopefully things will settle soon, you'll be out of the first trimester in a month-ish (crazy how time flies 😮) and people always say the second semester is the best. Relief is in sight!

Aww that's brilliant that your scan will be just before Christmas - what a good Christmas gift!

owh thank you. I'm such a grump at the moment. I'm being sick 5am--10am, I have a break between 10am and 2pm and then it starts all over again until about 10pm :( I feel so bad for DP because i'm no fun to be around.

Hey @Blossomingflower94 how are you feeling? Xx I'm CD5 starting the clear blue digital ovulations on Wednesday so I'll let you know how I get on as they seem a bit fiddly but I'm sure I'll get the hang xx

Oh I love the clear blue! They were so much better for me when I used them. The day I got my static smiley I literally have DP the stick with the smile on it and said "let's go" 😂 and they say romance is dead!!

I'm ok, ended up on antisickness tablets after 3 days of solid vomiting, morning noon and night. Bloody nightmare!

Everything crossed for you. The clear blue are so much better just doing them in the morning! Don't forget you can test more than once a day once you have your static (or once IC start to look darker) xxx

Hope the sickness tablets help!! Are work being good about it?

With the clear blue Ov tests did you DTD when it was the flashing and the static smiley? Xx
