TWW starts... ovulation day today! Anyone else?

[HaresHoping]

Hi ladies!

Anyone else ovulated today? I'm pretty sure I did after a peak OPK yesterday and now starting the dreaded TWW... my first as we're on cycle 1. I'm CD16 with a generally 30 day cycle.

Would love some company as I inevitably drive myself absolutely loco over the next fortnight 😂

Any early symptoms I can look out for to keep me occupied?!

Good luck to everyone!

@Arrierttyclock @WonderCity thank you girls!

And thank you for encouraging me when my ICs were faint, that's what pushed me to take that FRER.

Fingers crossed we get some more positives on this thread in the coming week 🍀 🤞🏼

[xRRx]

@WonderCity scrolled past your ice cream, I've decided I need some!!

[cat8986]

@xRRx firstly, congratulations on your strong BFP!
I’ve actually been stalking this thread during my own TWW and love to follow everyone’s good news stories, and hopeful that it may correlate with things I’m experiencing too and end up with my first bfp myself!

Just wanted to ask, you mentioned yellow cm the last few days. When did this start for you? I am 10dpo and this morning I wiped and had a bit of yellow cm myself. I’ve never had this before. I usually spot before my period and I was crampy last night so thought my spotting was rearing it’s ugly head again but it was only yellow. Did you have cramping too?

Appreciate your sharing your symptoms! And congrats again!

[xRRx]

Hey @cat8986 , thank you!

I have noticed yellow CM from about 7-8 dpo. It really hasn't been much and (tmi) but noticed more after a bowel movement as though it squeezes it down!

However I had a yellow/cream tinged CM all the way through my first pregnancy before I started spotting and bleeding. And I read the CM was a normal and healthy sign and was probably nothing to do with the MC.

I have had cramping since yesterday and felt extra bloated yesterday. Still cramping now down there but feels like things are pulling and stretching.

[cat8986]

@xRRx thank you so much for sharing. And so sorry about your MC xx
Your symptoms have given me hope. I’m at that point in my cycle when I’m waiting for my usual spotting to start so feeling particularly anxious. I’m trying not to poas until 14dpo at least but as each day passes and I haven’t started spotting, I get a teeny bit more excited. Need to relax!
Wishing you a healthy pregnancy xx

@xRRx WOW !! What a beautiful BFP

[GCB1234]

I walked away from a blank negative stick at 10.30am and just looked at it again to see this...
these are stick numbers #320 #321 & #322 btw 🙈 I do feel very AF’y and wondering if that middle stick is where it was thrown upside down in the used sticks box

[WonderCity]

@GCB1234 ooo that’s interesting. I mean I definitely see something but I see why you’re confused given the other two sticks. You think we’d be experts by now with all the sticks we’ve pee’d on. I expect if you lined all my sticks up they circumference the world at least once. What sensitivity are those non digital ones?

[WonderCity]

I’m also 10dpo today, so I looked back at the test I did this morning and it’s still as blank as it ever was. I’d certain say there’s hope for you. @GCB1234

[GCB1234]

@WonderCity The top two were CB 6 days early tests, I just did an ASDA 4 days early and it was a BFN. I am running out of test supplies! I have more coming! We DTD Sat 13th Oct, a throws of passion thing, and I have no idea of my cycle a. because my coil only came out last month (wasn't agreeing with me) and b. I am breastfeeding although he's an older boober now it still affects things - I think. And so the crazed testing continues... I have some FR coming later via Amazon....

[GCB1234]

@WonderCity *DTD was 13th Feb... My brain is mush with it all!

[Jaymar]

@GCB1234 An older boober 😂 Let us know if you have any luck next time you test!

[WonderCity]

@GCB1234 ah so those times roughly work out to around 10dpo ish. That makes sense. I love amazon for tests, speedy delivery but that also means my OH knows how many tests I’m getting through so I’ve had to get creative and find supplies elsewhere lol. I’m breastfeeding too. My son is 17 months so doesn’t feed much now but you’re right there’s a barrier there. Will the FRER be here on time for you to test tomorrow FMU?

[HaresHoping]

@xRRx just popped on to check in and OMG! I am thrilled for you lovely. Huge congratulations 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 hope it's a lovely sticky bean for you! Sending loads of luck your way xxx

[GCB1234]

@Jaymar @WonderCity my big boy boober is 2 1/2 years... and feeds through the night like a newborn still! Tried everything to wean and he isn't having any of it so have given up and will assume he will stop by the time he is 15? You'd think ;-)

@wondercity hehe!! good point actually - amazon coming today - he can't see the transactions I don't think but it's saying due when he'll be home so I will try not to look shifty as I put it to one side to open later... (never happens right?!)

[xRRx]

@GCB1234 @HaresHoping thanks ladies! I feel a whole new set of feelings today, mostly anxious. Hoping for a healthy pregnancy this time.

@GCB1234 that 10:30am test was puzzling but looks so promising! Will you test again with FMU?

[GCB1234]

@xRRx I hope your anxiety settles, you so deserve to enjoy this experience

[HaresHoping]

Think I'm out ladies. RHR (orange line on chart) seems to be starting to dip as does my BBT. Pretty gutted as I'd convinced myself, more fool me I guess 😂 AF due on Friday and I just want it to hurry up and arrive now. So annoyed as my RHR has never done this before but I think my body was trolling me lol. Best of luck to everyone else testing, everything crossed for you! 🤞🏻

[GCB1234]

FRER with FUM = BFN
I've kept the sample to try a CBER but then I am thinking I am completely out of control and obsessed and maybe need to think about reigning myself in!

[GCB1234]

@HaresHoping You're not out out till AF comes! But I understand your thought process. Lets see! If AF is coming for us lets hope it's soon

[HaresHoping]

@GCB1234 ugh it's so frustrating isn't it? I'm not a fan of this TWW thing 😂 fingers crossed for you my dear! And yes if not let it be quick so we can crack on again!

[WonderCity]

Morning all. Of course I also tested this morning and it’s still a bfn. I looked at it for a good five minutes before I admitted that to myself. I e taken to shining my phone torch through it and you can see where the line is meant to be but it’s all white. Need some pink!! I’ve got one FRER left so will probably do that tomorrow although I feel out this month. I know there’s still time but i guess it’s the very very negative tests that are putting me off lol
@HaresHoping I feel like you’re super dedicated with the charting and therefore definitely deserve a bfp this month! And @GCB1234 it’s super hard to reign it in, I can relate. Just think, in a few days if AF turns up we can have roughly two weeks off obsessing about it lol.

[Jaymar]

The TWW is such a rollercoaster but when AF arrives I always get a good feeling of ok, let’s bring on the next fertile week and start planning my sexy underwear 😂

I’ve never done an early test before but I have had tiredness, stretchy cramps and my nails have grown really fast (there’s a random one for you!) just like my last pregnancy (MMC).

Got a BFP this morning but me and DH will hold off on celebrating until Friday, AF due on Thursday 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

[HaresHoping]

@WonderCity argh so annoyed on your behalf but like @GCB1234 says you're not out yet. I know how you feel though. Bless you, thanks for being so lovely. You totally deserve a BFP too! As do we all ❤️ it will happen when it happens, I need to learn some patience 😂 also that is the best incentive ever for AF tbh - a couple of weeks off sounds like bliss! With some wine! Ahhhhhhhh

[HaresHoping]

Oh @Jaymar CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so so pleased for you. Crossing everything you have a lovely sticky bean ❤️ yay we've got another BFP everybody 🥳🥳🥳
