The dreaded tww

Hey, I'm currently in the dreaded tww. I'm not sure exactly when I ovulated, one app says 8th other says 10th. So I'm either 8 or 10dpo. I tried a frer this morning and got a bfn (not surprised given I could only be 8dpo, but I couldn't resist). Anyone due to test in the next couple of days? I'm going to try and hold out until saturday, (af due between saturday and monday - had a weird short cycle last month so not sure if it will be the same this month) x

@Niffler1988 hey chick, hope you've had a good few days. Well, apart from the arrival of AF! That's good. Glad you've seen the silver lining and that your cycle is regulating. And yes, you can now track O a little more accurately. Handy to know that you maybe didn't DTD at the right time. All good things to help you next month. Just annoying it sometimes takes us so long!

@charlie0692 glad you're not in a rush to test chick, early testing and getting BFNs can be so soul destroying. How are you feeling otherwise?

I'm doing well thank you ladies, I'm now CD2. Hurrah 🙌🏻 but the wait begins. I'm actually okay with it though. As I'm testing on 23rd (a Wednesday) it feels shorter as I only have next week as the one full stretch of a week. I'm going to do my best not to symptom spot, but let's see if anything obvious comes my way 😂🙈

@gigi318 woo 2dpo, it's nearly the weekend and they always fly by so you will be on 6dpo before you know it! I've ordered some frer that should have been delivered today, if they haven't come then it will be tomorrow. So I have 3 frer tests. Hoping I can last till sunday/monday to take one (as I want dh there when I test, and if I wait till tues or weds I'll be on my own as he will be in work in the mornings). If not then I'll wait till thurs and if af hasnt shown up I can take one after work with dh as I wont have to use first wee will I? I have no symptoms what so ever, I've had bad achy cramps mon/tues and wed but I have IBS so I'm guessing its connected to that. How are you feeling @gigi318? @niffler1988 do you use anything to track O?

@charlie0692 absolutely and it's so exciting. As when it gets to Monday it will feel like only a week to go (although it will be 9 days 🤣) Oh fab, I hope you last til then too chick - always come and chat to me if you need talking off of that POAS ledge hahaha! When is AF due again? Yes I think on or after AF due date you don't have to use FMU. Which is good! That sounds good to me - not everyone has symptoms and too be honest I think it's so early to even get them. But who knows!! I'm just going by my cycle length and watch CM to track O. I also usually get some twinges or mild cramping when I O too, so keep an eye for that!

Niffler1988 · 10/10/2019 18:38

So I thought my period had come, but it's like it's on the brink. I had blood when wiping last night. Today I've had some brown discharge (bit clumpy) and another bit of blood when wiping but no full blown AF yet. Also sorry for TMI! Normally I'll have a little bit of blood the night before then overnight she comes in thick and fast!

@charlie0692 I use the Flo app & Fitbit tracker. I think my cycle is settling back into 31 days. Well done for not testing yet!! I know how hard it is!! I have IBS too which I think doesn't help with symptoms!

@Gigi318 The weekend will fly by and before you know it you'll be ready to test!

Gigi318 · 10/10/2019 20:25

@Niffler1988 fingers crossed it's not AF for you chick. How stressful! It's such a nightmare trying to work out if its AF or anything else. Especially as IB and AF can happen around the same time 🙄 exactly.. only 13 days to go for me now 🤣🙈

Gigi318 · 13/10/2019 08:17

Morning ladies, how are you both??

I'm 5DPO now and not an awful lot to report. Woke up a but crampy but think it's all okay now. Boobs a bit sore but nothing too strong. 10 more days to wait 🙌🏻

charlie0692 · 13/10/2019 09:15

Hey @gigi318, no symptoms here either, did a frer this morning and bfn. Think I'm out for this month, just want af to hurry up so I can get on with next month now 😊

OP posts:
Gigi318 · 13/10/2019 10:10

@charlie0692 oh no! What DPO are you? I hope you're really not chick, do you have any AF symptoms?? When is it due??

charlie0692 · 13/10/2019 10:21

@gigi318 af is due on weds. I'm either 10 or 11dpo. Just some cramping that i normally get before af 😫 x

OP posts:
Gigi318 · 13/10/2019 11:25

@charlie0692 oh no! I hope it's not. Always annoying when you think it's on its way!!! I'm so tired today so glad to be resting and not doing a lot 🙌🏻

charlie0692 · 18/10/2019 07:24

Hi both, af still not arrived, it was due tues/weds. Done frer yesterday morning and bfn so defo not pregnant I must just be having a longer than usual cycle which is annoying. How are you both doing? X

I’ve read a few posts this week where people have said they didn’t see positive until At least 4 days late. Fingers still crossed for you

charlie0692 · 18/10/2019 08:13

Thank you @kona84. Trying not to get my Hope's up too much, but suppose your not out until af arrives 🤞

OP posts:
Gigi318 · 18/10/2019 08:24

@charlie0692 morning chick! Oohhh 4 days. Eeek that's exciting. You're still not out until AF arrives so keep testing 🤞🏻 I'm so excited for you!
I have been okay. Had no symptoms at all really until yesterday. Woke up feeling wet and after a few hours the CM was a pale brown pinkish colour. Freaked a little, then excited thought maybe it's IB as I was 9DPO yesterday. Checked my CP and it was soft and open with lots of milky CM. Some brownish pink bits but more milky bits. Had some more of it appear in the day but like tiny amounts of a liner. Nothing overnight or so far today. So I hope that's a positive thing!

charlie0692 · 18/10/2019 08:28

@gigi318 sounds very positive to me, fingers crossed for you that this is your month!! 😊

OP posts:
Gigi318 · 18/10/2019 12:06

@charlie0692 do toy think? Just checked and had a little more since about 9am and nothing until then. Just hoping it's not some weird early AF 😔

charlie0692 · 21/10/2019 22:00

Hey @gigi318 how are you? Have you done a test yet? Af arrived for me on Saturday so currently on cd3 😊

OP posts:
Gigi318 · 22/10/2019 09:11

@charlie0692 hey chick! So sorry for not checking in! Been a crazy weekend. So sorry to hear that. How are you feeling? At least you're well into the next month. If it arrived Saturday, aren't you CD4 today? Or was it overnight?
I've still got brown CM. Well I had yesterday none so far today. 14DPO today and no sign of AF as of yet. If more brown CM today, this will be day 6 of it! Xx

charlie0692 · 22/10/2019 09:16

Hey @gigi318. Yes sorry cd4 today 😊 when will you be testing? Do you have any symptoms? X

OP posts:
Gigi318 · 22/10/2019 10:09

@charlie0692 woops forgot to say tested yesterday and BFN. Not even a squinter. AF due tomorrow so will test Thursday again I think!! So scary 🙈🙈🙈

charlie0692 · 23/10/2019 07:53

@gigi318 your not out until af arrives. Got my fingers crossed for you! I'm temping this month to see if I can pinpoint ovulation a bit better 😊 x

OP posts:
Gigi318 · 23/10/2019 07:55

@charlie0692 AF arrived last night 8/9pm! Had cramping for 4ish hours before hand too. Never mind. Onto the next one.
That sounds really good! Fingers crossed for you. Has AF stopped now?? Xx

charlie0692 · 23/10/2019 08:10

I'm sorry @gigi318! Only positive is your already cd2 if you count yesterday as cd1? Yes af stopped last night for me. Cd5 today af due 14th nov according to ovia app, and estimates ovulation on 31st but I'll check against the temping chart x

OP posts:
charlie0692 · 23/10/2019 08:11

How are you doing @niffler1988? X

OP posts:
Gigi318 · 23/10/2019 08:36

@charlie0692 yep definitely counting yesterday as CD1. So yay to CD2. Thank you for that! That sounds like a good plan. Woohoo. I should O two weeks yesterday, I think! Xx
