December bus - testing first week of december

[ceebee21]

Hi all,

AF arrived today so thought I would start a new thread....feel free to join.

First cycle since MMC and ERPC on 1st October, following BFP straight after implant removal.

Bit odd for me, first proper AF in a few years.

Hoping this is the month!

Absolutely takes over my life at the minute! Big thing for me this cycle was EWCM usually it’s just watery around O so I’m hoping it’s a good sign!

The bbt seems very confusing to me I see people’s charts and it just baffles me but if I don’t get a BFP this month I think I’ll definitely give it a go.

I fell pregnant in the “window” last year. It was totally unplanned and unfortunately MC at 8 weeks. I BD with my OH once that month as he worked away then and looking back probably a good 4 days before O. I will never know when O actually occurred but definitely 4 days before it was predicted.

I keep looking back thinking I must of got it right then what am I doing so wrong and the whole what if’s kick in the longer I keep TTC.

@Bella330 this is all quite new to me so not sure if ive got it quite right but I got my only proper positive on the OPK cheapy strip tests on Sat afternoon, then had loads of EWCM shortly after so thinking either late sat or Sunday for ovulating, means either 2 or 3 DPO I think! Way too early for symptoms but I've convinced myself my boobs look weird, I have every kind of twinge and pinching sensation under the sun, this is going to be a looooong two weeks I don't really understand the bbt'ing either but might investigate for next cycle if no luck x

Shuckle we can be 2WW buddies! I think I ovulated Saturday night/ Sunday according to the ultrasound.

Definitely going to be a long wait. My boobs are just normal, usually they’re swollen the day after O but nothing as of yet.
I do have serious back ache though... rational me wants to think it’s probably the horrible mattress I have, crazy lady me thinks my body just knows I’ve fertilised an egg (I know wishful thinking and nothing would really happen this early)

Fingers crossed for BFP’s!

@Bella330
Last month I had 10 days of flashing smileys!!!! But I think that was because my cycle was trying to figure itself out after my ERPC.

This month I had 4 days of flashing, followed by a static on CD14.

I did only have 11 days between my static and AF arriving last month... so really not sure what it will be this month... hopefully AF doesn't arrive.

I swear the flashing smileys were mocking me this month I couldn’t believe it. Last month was fine using the kit.

How many DPO are you now?

This thread sure moves quick lol. Hi to all the newbies and good luck, fingers crossed we all get our bfp's in time for christmas 😊

I'm now 5dpo, promised myself I wouldnt symptom spot during the tww but i had a few sharp twinges today and immediately i started symptom spotting 😂.

I'm going to drive myself crazy!! How is everyone else feeling?

Hi @LoveRainbow02

Currently 2 DPO already analysing the odd twinge 🙈 apart from that nothing. I usually get sore boobs straight after O but nothing as of yet.

When are you planning on testing?

I should be due on the 28th but unsure as my cycle last month after my mc was 34 days. I'll probably test around the 26th but I'm so nervous and already feel like I didnt dtd enough during the fertile window. Trying to ignore this though as in September I conceived after only having sex once in the fertile window and whilst still being on the pill 😔. When do you reckon you will test?

So sorry about your MC the exact same happened to me last year! Once and BAM pregnant unfortunately mine resulted in a MC too.

Well I’m usually 28-30 day cycles, usually O on CD16 or 17. This month 21! So I’m thinking it would make my AF due a bit later? 28-30 day cycle would mean AF is due next Thursday latest. However because I O’d late my app is saying 1st December!
Think I might do next Friday and I’ll tell myself not to be disappointed if it’s BFN.

Did you use OPK’s this month?

@Bella330 we're very similar then never used OPK's until this month's, been tracking on the Fitbit app for a year and it predicted day 13 ovulation based on avg 26 day cycles. Tested using OPK's from day 9 this cycle and got the positive on day 16, so my fitbit app also says 1st December for AF/BFP I have been using the ovia app as well for 2 months and that is a bit more clever with the CM and mood tracking so that says AF due 28th November but I'm going to wait until 1st to test as I know it'll just be a waste of money and disappointment sooner x

Hey @Nic555 still only using electric OPKS in the morning, 2 days of flashing smileys so hoping for the static tomorrow. Also I've been doing OPKS every time I've been to the loo and tonight's is the darkest. 💕 xx

@Bella333 yeah I used ic this month and confirmed ovulation. When I was trying to concieve my son i was using those and also tracking bbt for 2 years before i got pregnant but I dont want to delve right into all that again so soon. Trying to be as relaxed as possible but time will tell if i manage lol.

Yeah cd21 does seem a little late but you may be having a long cycle this month? I used to be a 28 day regular person but lately I'm a bit all over the place.

DH has the flu 😭
DTD on second day of flashing smiley on CD 18....might have to hope for a miracle 🤷🏾‍♀️ my 2WW will be very chilled atleast 🤔
Welcome newbies!

@Shuckle I’m using the Ovia app too. Hopefully we get a beautiful dark BFP this month!

@LoveRainbow02 yes I think it will be a long one just means I have to wait even longer to POAS!! I’m a bit of an addict!

@MrsTwentySeven how long are your cycles usually?

@Bella330 31 days ....very bizarre why i ovulate so late !

I'm a poas addict too so it's all good lol. I'm seriously cramping tonight but trying not to think it's related as I'm only 5dpo lol! Have just eaten dinner so blaming that instead 😂

@MrsTwentySeven you could ovulate any day now! It’s well within the norm range though with a 31 day cycle. Hope your DH is feeling better soon really soon! Fingers crossed for you.

@LoveRainbow02 could very possible that it’s early implantation?? The unknown is just awful!!

OH has just come home from work - I’m in my pjs slouched on sofa and he’s said my boobs look huge today! They don’t ache yet though... I’m hoping it’s a good sign as they ache massively in my 2WW usually.

@bella330

Thanks! I hope he does too! Good luck with your 2WW! It does seem like a good sign for sure!!

I think its really rare for implantation to happen at 5dpo and likely I'm not 1 of the lucky ones lol. My boobs also ache in the tww so cant really use that as a new symptom either. Wish I could poas already 😂

Wow lots of activity today! Hi to all the newbies 👋🏼

@Shuckle yes!! Tell the sun to wait for me!!

Only in from work so defo not DTD tonight, bath and bed to watch I’m a celeb 😁

It's quite reassuring to hear that implantation doesn't happen for a while - I can tell myself my symptoms are all in my head for now! Definitely keep jumping to conclusions every time I get a tummy twinge but being on holiday with different food and water it's hardly surprising my tummy is funny 😂

@LoveRainbow02 you’re similar to me I think.my cycle after miscarriage last month was around 32 days and ovulated on day 21.

This month I OV on CD15...not sure when to test.

I am 3DPO

Hi everyone,
Hope everyone is well! Everyone is excited about tww 😀.. I'm too to be honest.
But I haven't ovulated yet.. this month is actually crazy ... I have been testing with ovulation stick.. but my LH keeps going up and down.. so crazy.. and I am supposed to ovulate on the 21st according to my app. 😞 but I haven't had a strong line on the ovulation stick yet. I have had a line but not as dark or darker then the test line so I assumed it wasn't ovulation...
Wish me good luck guys and that I ovulate soon 😞

@Sunshinexx95 good luck, still time yet! Have you been DTD lots in case your sticks just haven't picked up the surge? X

@Sunshinexx95 I've had EWCM tonight but other than that my IC's are up and down, flashing smileys today and yesterday, hoping for my static tomorrow!! Xx
