Hi,

I’m 29 and trying for my first baby. I had a missed miscarriage at the end of August and have decided to try again.

Will be testing around 31 October/1 November (if I can last that long!) so come join if you’re in the same boat.

AF is due on the 31st, although I've just had my first period after stopping the pill so we will see. Currently in my fertile week so I'm with you x

Deli111 · 17/10/2019 21:28

I’m testing 26th October... I came off the pill on the 4th and had what I thought were ovulation pains on the 12th. However, I haven’t had a period yet.
Good luck!

250515xx · 17/10/2019 23:07

I will be testing 31st too...good luck everyone!

ceebee21 · 17/10/2019 23:28

I'm currently on my flashing smiley....Although day 7 of them.

I had a MMC also, this is my first cycle since so not holding out much hope xxx

Hello,
I'm currently trying for my 2nd baby, have been TTC for 2 years in Jan with 4 miscarriages my latest one was a MMC mid August and currently 3dpo after a HSG test last week so keeping my fingers crossed!

I will be testing on the 26th as I've got my brother's engagement party and don't want to risk having a drink.

Hi all!
@Hayley94 Af is due 31st too but I’ll be testing on the 30th. hoping for an early positive to tell my partner on our anniversary!

@Deli111 is this your first time trying?

@250515xx good luck! I hope I can last til then and not test the week before..

@ceebee21 Sorry about your Mmc, do you mean you’ve had a positive flashing smiley for 7 days? If so, could that be Bcos you still have positive hormones in your system? It took me around 7 sevens to get a negative but it seemed like forever. Good luck!

@ArabellaSwan I’m so sorry, I really hope this is your month. I’ve had two losses and it’s heartbreaking.

Looks like you’ll be the first to test, good luck!

It’s my first time ttc baby no 2 xx

ceebee21 · 18/10/2019 18:58

@OrangeHue I'm not sure. I've had a negative clear blue pregnancy test. Also had a few days of circles on the clear blue...then the flashing started.

I'm not sure, thing my body is just all over the place.

It's so long waiting x

Sending baby dust to you Star

sojo44 · 18/10/2019 19:27

May I jump on the Halloween boat too?
I got my first ever positive OPK strip this evening (PCOS and irregular cycles). Still staring at it in shock.

Classic - husband is doing a favour work shift this evening but tomorrow AM it's full on DTD (hopefully not too late and we won't miss the window) and then testing on 31st as well.

Skygirl1983 · 18/10/2019 19:45

Hiya ladies,
May I join. I'm due my AF on 30th October. Newly married, obsessed far too much recently and convinced myself I was pregnant last month! Taking it a lot easier now. Not testing early this month. Currently 2/3 dpo. Sending you all baby dust :)

Hayley94 · 18/10/2019 20:47

I'm very confused with my OPK results. Does it look like I ovulated yesterday but missed it. No line on OPK today x

TWW testing on Halloween?
250515xx · 19/10/2019 09:43

Sorry, I don’t know how this all works but hopefully one of the others will be able to help?!

LazyDogFox · 19/10/2019 10:33

Can I join please? I’m due AF on 30th October.
3rd month TTC 1st baby. We have been quite relaxed about it all so far but if no success this month i might look into trying OPKs.

Hope the two weeks goes quickly for you all! Xx

sojo44 · 19/10/2019 21:22

TTC baby 1 here too! Fingers crossed! I kind of like the idea of finding out on All Hallows' eve.

Baby dust to everyone!

HugeAgeGap · 19/10/2019 22:54

Can I join in?! Also AF due on 31 October give or take a day or two! Am using OPK and got a positive on 16th Oct so think now maybe 2dpo. It’s a long wait!! x

CL1982 · 20/10/2019 11:40

Hello! TTC#2 (forgot how stressful it it!!) and AF also due on 31st! Although will probs be sneaking in a first response before then tbh 🙈 Anyone charting as well and want to share the chart love? I write a blog so got sent some Clearblue sticks and used those with mixed results. As a consequence I have no idea if I am DPO3 or 4 😆 Hey ho.

250515xx · 20/10/2019 12:05

I’m a bit clueless in all of this...what is charting?

HugeAgeGap · 20/10/2019 18:27

Yes I’ve done a chart, first month this month doing it though, how long your cycles? Mine 30/31 usually.

HugeAgeGap · 20/10/2019 18:28

Sorry, I’m new too but I think by charting they mean monitoring your basal body temperature with a thermometer. Using that u can work out with you’re temp, what day u ovulated (after it takes place!)

sweetkitty · 20/10/2019 18:32

Good luck ladies just spotted your thread.

12 years ago I got a BFP on Halloween after a horrible mc in August. Had a scan at 8 weeks which showed everything was ok but a bleed at 11 weeks. On Christmas Eve I felt the baby move for the first time.

She’s now 11 and an utter joy my little pumpkin seed.

Rara87 · 20/10/2019 18:45

Hi Everyone! Smile Completely new to this, its my 1st time TTC.

Im also in the TWW and cant stop thinking obsessing over every little twinge!!

Had a positive OPK on Wed 16th so 4DPO. Will be testing on 26th/27th as ive read you can get a positive 9dpo?

I have experienced cramping from ovulation date until now. Does anyone know why this could be? From researching, its way too early to be getting any symptoms yet?!

250515xx · 20/10/2019 19:20

@sweetkitty ahh lovely, glad it was happy ending 😊

@HugeAgeGap ah okay, I haven’t done that!

HugeAgeGap · 20/10/2019 22:36

Sorry I don’t ever get cramping so no help with what that could mean! I would assume that cramping this early is way to early to be a symptom if implantation doesn’t happen until roughly 7 days post ovulation, but really I don’t know!!

KCT93 · 21/10/2019 12:16

Hi all, I'm going to join in if you don't mind Smile

I am 3 DPO, TTC (trying to conceive) #1, 2nd cycle. Not sure when AF is due as I ovulated 5 days later this month than last month but I am predicting 1st Nov, so will test on Halloween. We were DTD every day leading up to and on O day, so fingers crossed!
