Hey guys

Is anyone else in the TWW and want to join me in desperately trying not to test 😂

Currently 4DPO in cycle 9 of TTC, and frantically googling when is the absolute earliest I can test, driving myself insane!

How's everyone else finding the TWW at the min? Lockdown is making it harder cause I'm home all day with all my tests 🤦‍♀️

Baby dust to all x

Congrats to the BFPs 🙌

@acaciabluebell @helia I'm getting brown spotting today too 😑 I usually only see this at the end of a period. I'm at CD 26 and my apps are showing me due AF today. My cycles can vary from 24-30 days though so I can't really say I'm late after today because of that. My boobs are still sore. Have you got any other symptoms? I'm still assuming it's just AF coming as my latest IC test was as white as could be.

Hey everyone!! :D

I’m in the TWW. My very first TWW!! How exciting/nerve wracking.

I am 2 dpo, I have been symptom spotting like mad and I’m regretting not listening to my body before starting to try and conceive because now I have no idea what’s normal and what’s not! Confused

I had an IUD for 18 months, got my first period which started June 27th and then took OPK’s to try and conceive first cycle. Wish me luck! Grin

Symptoms for sure so far - fatigue and extremely sensitive breasts.

Good luck everyone Daffodil

@Gab101 welcome! When is your AF due and when you planning on testing? Fingers crossed for you!

So I went to boots and got some FRERs tested with SMU and got a BFN... I'm starting to think the squinters I've gotten must've been indents or evaps, just strange that I've had a few from different batches 😔 really think I am out this month, surely at 13DPO I'd have a more visible BFP if I was? I'm just hoping tomorrow at 14DPO I either get a straight up negative or an actual BFP so I know either way

@Jurassiclover don't get discouraged, you're not out till AF shows!!

Jurassiclover · 13/07/2020 12:16

@mrsgtobe97 that's true, just finding it hard to stay positive at the min! I think it's the not knowing, cause I've had a few squinters so I feel like I'm in limbo!

mrsgtobe97 · 13/07/2020 12:41

@Jurassiclover I feel exactly the same, don't worry we're in this together!

helia · 13/07/2020 12:52

Hope you're alright @Jurassiclover and @mrsgtobe97. I'm still getting tiny amounts of brown staining when I wipe but no period yet. I don't know what to make of this!

JTB123 · 13/07/2020 12:55

I'm holding off testing now until Friday if AF doesn't arrive 🤞🏻

Pr24 · 13/07/2020 13:18

Hello everyone! 5th month trying now and 11dpo. Not getting my hopes up as I really thought last month was it for me but I was wrong. Good luck to you all!!

Jurassiclover · 13/07/2020 13:34

@mrsgtobe97 yeah hopefully we'll have more clarity soon!

@helia thank you, I'm just trying to stay positive! Oh that is strange! Keep us updated!

@JTB123 keeping my fingers crossed for you!

AF due tomorrow so I’m holding off to see if it shows up. Today I’ve had really sore boobs but more up towards my armpit than my boobs.

acaciabluebell · 13/07/2020 14:24

@helia My cycle this month has actually been longer than average, but I expected it to be even later based on my apps and when I ovulated, so still came "early" and surprised me. I'm still spotting, this morning I briefly hoped it might be implantation bleeding but the spotting was not light and it wasn't pink/brown it was red. I know AF is definitely starting now because of cramping and all that. Feeling very crappy atm. How about you?

@2020mission any updates? I actually had my symptoms disappear the past few days. I had lots of cramping and my boobs were incredibly sore around 7-10dpo, but nothing from 10dpo-12dpo. That's why I was so surprised when I saw spotting/blood this morning because I normally have cramps for days before AF!

helia · 13/07/2020 14:32

So sorry to hear that @acaciabluebell. I put a different pad on an hour ago and there's nothing on it. Nothing the last time I went to the loo either. I feel like I'm in limbo!

2020mission · 13/07/2020 14:45

@acaciabluebell still no AF here... tiny streak of pink spotting on my last wipe after a pee but nothing on a pant liner I've got on. This is day 4 of spotting now. From previous cycles I can spot for 3 days before AF, but never longer. I just wish it would start already as this is torture thinking I might still have a chance! My boobs are still a little sore and I've got no cramping yet. If nothing happens tomorrow I might have to get another FRER. All I've got is the cheapies and I wouldn't trust them to show anything before AF anyway. Really don't want to waste money on a FRER though when the chance is I'm just about to get AF. I'm sorry you're feeling it's AF now but honestly I think that's better than having extra days in limbo... you can get back to the fertile window sooner!

Chin up all, we'll all have clarity on the faint tests or AF soon!

helia · 13/07/2020 14:50

Much sympathy @2020mission!

Butterfly134 · 13/07/2020 15:43

Hi ladies.l, I hope you don’t mind me joining. I’m currently 1dpo on cycle #2 trying for baby number 1. It’s so comforting to see someone going through something similar so you don’t feel as alone.

helia · 13/07/2020 16:39

Welcome @Butterfly134. I think you're about ten days behind most of us here but you are very, very welcome!

I've not had any more spotting since lunchtime. I don't know what's going on with my body now!

Jurassiclover · 13/07/2020 18:54

@Butterfly134 welcome! When is your AF due?

OP posts:
2020mission · 13/07/2020 19:54

Welcome @Butterfly134. Just curious, how many DPO are we all now? I'm at 14 DPO I think...

mrsgtobe97 · 13/07/2020 20:05

I have absolutely no clue where I am in my cycle 🙈 came off the pill December had my first period in March then suspected chemical in May and now I'm on cycle day 64 and getting faint lines on FRER's! We last bd when I had loads of ewcm so hoping we caught the egg 😂🤞🏼 I had given up testing as it was all negative then bam faint lines!

Butterfly134 · 13/07/2020 20:06

@Jurassiclover AF Is due 27.07 so still a while left Shock

Jurassiclover · 13/07/2020 20:51

@Butterfly134 oh wow a little while left yeah haha! When do you plan on testing?

@2020mission I'm 13dpo now, due AF tomorrow

OP posts:
Pr24 · 14/07/2020 07:31

Af due in 2 days and I have some mild cramping just on the left side last night, don't know if that means anything but I'm pretty sure I'm out this month!

helia · 14/07/2020 07:56

Sorry to hear that @Pr24. I think I'm out too (AF due Thursday too). The brown spotting I had yesterday morning went just after lunchtime and I haven't had any since but I've just got a feeling. I've not tested yet this cycle. I held off on Sunday when I was desperate to test and originally I was going to test tomorrow, on day 28 of my cycle. I'm not sure there's much point now - either my period will come on Thursday or it won't. On the off chance I had implantation bleeding yesterday (which I never had when pregnant with my son) then I guess it would be too soon to test tomorrow? I'll probably cave and use one of my FRERs though! Blush When are you testing?

How's everyone else today? @2020mission @Jurassiclover @acaciabluebell @Pr24 @mrsgtobe97 and everyone else!
