**Calling ALL TWWers** Testing buddies starting 15th June Onwards

[CaramelTart23]

Hello and welcome!

I kinda wanted to make my own thread as I've been itching to POAS at only 7dpo 😒 I know I know... ridiculous right?

So need you lovely ladies to join in and keep each other distracted, share your experience, have a giggle/cry together and most importantly have each others support during BFNs and BFPs.

Please feel free to jot down your cycle/dpo info and when your AF is due so we can all keep a track of where we are!

This is also a thread where you are free to post any thoughts, poems, pictures, recipes, dreams and aspirations, the good the bad and the ugly 😝

As always stay safe and baby dust to you all!

Cycle #6
CD22
7 DPO
TTC #1
A fudging F due 17th

@wenders4 my last 3 cycles were similar variations: 27, 25 and then 31 days. I've got ovulation sticks for my current cycle as I'm not trusting app estimations anymore.
When the lengths vary ovulation is likely to be less predictable too! Worth a shot for you maybe to make sure you're hitting the right time?

I do think my cycles might be too short? What do you all think... attached the list since the beginning of the year when starting TTC.

Thanks @2020mission. I've bought ovulation sticks too this months. I hate not feeling more control of it

Negative for me, so now on to cycle number 5. AF arrived dead on time. So at least I know I'm ovulating as I should. Xx

Well AF was supposed to arrive either yesterday or today still nothing so I took my 1 and only test I have I definitely think I can see a second line can any of yous see it

Just a quick update from me, this AF is very different from my usual period so I reckon it's a CP. Which would account for all the symptoms over the past 2 weeks, and the squinter on the FRER. I feel happy that fertilisation took place as it's the first time for me, and glad I didn't get a stronger positive as I'd be much more disappointed.
Need to pick up more OPKs to keep an eye on my cycle but here's to trying again cycle #3.
Good luck to you all x

Still no AF here!! No tests in the house either so think I'll order one tomorrow for delivery Tuesday of no period by then. Does anyone know if agnus cactus affects periods? I've not been late in agesssss and I'm not stressed or anything, and I'm not overthinking anything. I don't have the usual before AF cramps/achy legs nothing. Gives me a bit of hope. I'm now CD 33 of a usual 29 day cycle. Sometimes they vary but only usually to CD 31 so I'm definitely late now. Anyone in the same situation or had any positive stories? I took a co op cheap test Friday and it was negative xx

Hey Ladies so sorry that I haven't been posting... I haven't been feeling myself.

I think I may have experienced CP as the bleeding is not like my usual AF. I was never a heavy bleeder. It would also explain the faint pregnancy lines, closed cervix and the symptoms I've been getting this cycle etc.

I've put an online consultation through so hopefully GP will get back to me tomorrow. I don't really know what follows on after this as I've not experienced this before.

Really feel shit and I've had a good cry in the past few days.

Times like this I am so grateful for my husband who has been an absolute dime.

I've ordered more ovulation tests (fertile window starting 26th) so no more moping around and feeling sorry for myself!!

BRING ON NEXT CYCLE 😆

And 🖕🏼 AF I hope the ovary doors lock on you next cycle... bitch!

@CaramelTart23 totally get that.. I'm holding on to any little hope I have left here that I could still get a BFP in these last 3days but dreading when (if) AF shows her head! I will probably feel much the same as you've described!
I promised myself at the beginning that I will just see what happens and not get consumed by it... Oops... Definitely too late for that!! I'm steadily getting worse. Hugs of support x

@CaramelTart23 so sorry, I completely understand how you're feeling as I had a chemical on my first month TTC in January. I had a faint but clear positive FRER too and then 2 days later tried again and was a bit fainter, then bled like a period the next day. Like you experienced, it was slightly heavier than a normal period and with more "bits" rather than just liquid. It's so upsetting, but do keep in mind you had success with the sperm meeting the egg. It's just bad luck and there's nothing you could have done to avoid it. I found my husbands reaction of being gutted when it happened really assured me that he is as ready for a baby as I am.

Fingers crossed for the next cycle 🤞

Sorry to hear this @CaramelTart23 I think my AF might be starting this evening too.
Pink spotting only when I'm wiping and the tiniest bit but no doubt overnight it'll turn into full blown flow 😩 it's shit.
But fingers crossed for next cycle xx

Sorry to hear that @CaramelTart23, I had a CP at the end of April. I'd called the dr for a telephone appointment as I'd had positive tests that then became very faint and then negative but my regular as clockwork AF was 2 days late, by the time the dr called back in the afternoon it had started. She said as I'd already got a negative test there wasn't anything they needed to do but she gave some worsening advice such as what to do if extreme pain/bleeding incase of an ectopic pregnancy and she would record it incase it continues to happen and needs investigation. She was really nice and offered to send some leaflets. Reading lots of other threads and on the internet we pick them up because we can test so early. It's still rubbish after the excitement of seeing a positive test but for me personally I felt relieved I had got that far. Hope you're ok and getting looked after.
AF arrived 2 days early for me today. Going to put an order in for digital ovulation tests, conceive plus and 2 packs of FRER.
Yesterday also booked in with a fertility clinic for August so will try everything this month but if not will hopefully get some help. X

@GreysLove and @CaramelTart23 sorry you're both going through that. I wish you both lots of luck for next month x

Just tested again. Not sure if it counts with the saturation tweaking I did but I think there’s a little smudge of pink where the line should be!

The dark splodge further to the right is just where the plastic bit on the test starts, that’s nothing.

B&W version.

Weird pink spotting last night and this morning. Just waiting for it to get heavier and turn into full blown AF. Never usually spot like this and the cramps are not as bad this morning like normal AF cramps. I'm puzzled x

I don’t know what to think this morning after having 2 very faint positive lines yesterday I took a digital clearblue this morning and it’s a BFN still no sign of AF I think I will have to wait a few day if AF doesn’t arrive could it be a false negative I just don’t know 😞

@bluebubbles12 Thank you, keeping everything crossed.

@CaramelTart23 I thought this might have happened as you had been quiet. So sorry lovely, it's hard and horrible and sadly really common. I haven't bothered to call the doctor but logged on my apps so I can keep track. My best friend had a CP before both of her pregnancies, one 3 cycles before and one 1 cycle before success. I'm trying to hold on to the positives, that conception happened and that there was something not quite right with the cells which is usually the reason for CP.

I really need to chill out this month, the obsession with POAS and symptom spotting made me mental case. I'm just going to DTD as much as possible cos my OH is a hottie with a lockdown beard ;)

@CaramelTart23 hope you're feeling better soon, and I'm glad to have someone who is going through the same thing. Hopefully we'll get out BFP's together. See you on the July pact thread? x

Since we've passed the 15th June now, just wondering what date everyone has pencilled in for their next cycle pregnancy testing, if you're not waiting for AF to just appear?

Mines is easy and is remaining the 15th for July 🤞 I might try and hold off on testing for one more day though

Mine will be around the 20th July xx

Mines the 13th July

Ladies I need some advice so after getting 2 faint positives on Sunday I was woke up at 3 o’clock this morning with really bad cramping and just had some bleeding there sorry tmi am I have a chemical I just don’t know

@Itisme90 I'm really sorry to hear that. That's exactly what happened to me last month and then the bleeding got heavier. I have had 2 chemical pregnancy's. I really hope it's not but it sounds similar x

@Elou26 thanks for replying I definitely think it’s a chemical the cramping is getting worse oh well it’s on to next month for me then it’s just annoying when you are late and get your hopes up with 2 positives

@Itisme90 I had one last month and this month I am now on CD37 with no period and bfn. My cycles are usually 32/33 days I dno what's going on. I just want it to come so I can try again 😔 o think it's messed up my cycle.

@Elou26 I honestly think the stress with TTC messes up a lot of people’s cycles our body’s like to play tricks on us. I really hope this month is yours but I know what you mean you would rather just know where you stand I don’t usually use OPKs but going to this time do you know what ones are the best to use?
