Another TWW thread!

[madeinthe80z]

Anyone want to join me in being thoroughly distracted for the next 2 weeks?!

I am on CD19. I have a 28 day cycle and no idea when I ovulated but had EWCM really early this cycle (CD11-14).
AF due on the 13th.

We have been taking the 'relaxed approach' for the past 3-4 months. If it doesn't happen this month, going to take a break next cycle to avoid a Christmas baby (anyone else thinking of this?!) and then get properly tracking with OPKs, maybe temping etc.

I’ll join you 😊 I’m cd25 and 6dpo, my cycles are usually 32/33 days long. We are also 3rd cycle of trying, we did relaxed approach the first month but then I bought some opks as wasn’t sure when I ovulate!

I did think about the Xmas baby, but what will be will be, I don’t want to have a month off in case that was going to be our month 🙈 hopefully this will be our month anyway 🤞🏼

Hey @Bellesjp 👋

Are you a frantic early tester or will you be good and wait for day of AF?!

I will probably start testing on Monday 5 days before AF due because I am terrible for it. I bought a pack of 50 cheapies off amazon last month to keep me in check!!

This will be DC2 for me. Half of me is thinking I probably shouldn't miss a month either because I'm very nearly 35 so chances are its gonna take some time...but then it also falls around my birthday and a bit of lockdown easing so I may have a month off and be frivolous 🤣

@madeinthe80z I try and not test til af is due but have tested in the few days leading up, will see how I feel lol, I’ve got a load of cheapies that came with my opks too but I keep them hidden away so I don’t look at them 😂

I’m already symptom spotting, yesterday I was dizzy all morning, strange like the room was spinning every time I looked down and today I need a wee all the time, but have drunk a lot so could be that!!

This will be our first but I had a mc a few years ago, I didn’t test until cd37 then when I realised af hadn’t arrived so didn’t look for symptoms then!

You're so good!! Even when mine are hidden away, I still cave!!

Sorry to hear you had a MC. I have been pregnant twice before, the first time ended at 5 weeks but I then got a bfp the very next cycle without a period in between. My DD is 18mo and I didn't have many early symptoms from what I remember. All I recall is being very congested and having a cold around my BFP and slightly sore boobs. This hasn't stopped me symptom spotting this time around though! I actually didn't really start to get symptoms until after about 6 weeks.

Dizzy spells is definitely a common symptom so I've read. Fingers crossed this is our month 🤞

I'll join! I'm on cd26 of a 33 to 36 day cycle, currently 7dpo and going crazy!

Woke up with pretty bad cramps and a temp drop, fingers crossed for implantation!

Hiya @kayleeaa

I used to track BBT, I did it for about a year before TTC and then throughout but I have completely forgotten how it all works, I know there's a temp spike on/after ovulation (?) Can there be a drop for implantation?! I may look at my old charts! Fingers crossed for you!

@madeinthe80z from what I've read there can be a drop, or atleast I hope!

Do you know what dpo you are? I keep reading stories of bfp at 8po and it's making me crazy 🙈 Waiting another week is too much!

I did just have a quick look at my temps around my last bfp and I would say there was a very slight dip around 5-6dpo which is interesting. I didn't actually check other months to see if they were similar though but hopefully its a very good sign for you!!

No idea how many dpo I am. I am not tracking anything other than CM. I had EWCM on CD11-14 and we DTD CD12 and 13 but haven't managed it any other time this month so if I ovulated much later, we've probably missed it. I'm a bit calmer this month because of that as chances are possibly reduced.

I think the earliest you could possibly see a squinter on a test is around 8DPO but the later you leave it, the more accurate the result.

I am not the best person to talk to about patience though. I will probably start POAS imminently 😂 I have no self control.

@madeinthe80z got fingers crossed for us all!

I randomly did an opk tonight and got a ‘high’ reading according to my app, not positive but it went back to really low reading after I had ov peak 🤷🏼‍♀️ Not sure if that’s a good sign or not lol or just be being obsessive probably 😂

@Bellesjp that could be very promising, I'm constantly reading on here people who got a high LH test towards the end of the TWW and that was an indication of pregnancy! How many DPO are you now?

I'll join! CD20 and 3dpo! AF due 16th. Had a mmc in Dec. This is my first proper cycle post mmc!x

@madeinthe80z trying not to get ahead of myself 🤣 I’m 7dpo now so probs still too early, I actually caved and did an ic this morning but of course it was bfn which I knew it would be lol

Can I join too?

I'm 9dpo today, CD31, randomly didn't ovulate until cd23! So AF was due 3 days ago based on my normal cycle length but since ovulation was so late, I am guessing AF is due Tuesday.

I have zero symptoms 🤦‍♀️ I'm impatient and bored of waiting 😂

@madeinthe80z thankyou for checking!! I have no idea whats up with my chart but I do feel like I have the beginning of a cold. I've started testing my temperature randomly throughout the day and it's a consistent degree higher even when I've sat at my desk for 6 plus hours.

Anyone early testing? I'm only 8dpo but testing on cheapies because I have such bad cramps and sore nipples, BFN's of course though haha

Can I join? First cycle TTC and still trying to find my feet. Luckily this place has a lot of helpful ladies and really good info and support.

@Kayleaaa I'm also 8dpo. I'm a control freak so I've been testing on cheapies for the past couple of days. I also have bad cramps and sore nipples (not boobs) and yeah.. BFN as expected 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ I couldn't resist.

@Frandler why do we do this to ourselves?! 😂

I'm going to test with FMU tomorrow because I drink too much water during the day (telling myself that's the issue!). I have 2 FRERs that I'm saving. No idea when AF is due because its different by a couple of days every month!

@Kayleaaa no idea haha 🤦🏻‍♀️

I think testing FMU is a good shout 👍 ive now run out of cheapies and have FRERs arriving from Amazon in a few days, around the sort of time I should be testing.. I might keep doing this to stop myself from testing too early 😂

I also have no idea when AF is. I had my coil taken out a couple of months ago and it's not settled yet. I've never been regular anyway so I don't know where I stand with that 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Frandler that's a good plan!! I think I still have over 30 cheapies so I can't be stopped!

I think AF is in a week plus, but I usually get these sorts of cramps about 2 days beforehand so I'm confused!

I just want a BFP or AF, the unknown is worse!

I have a bottle of fizz for if AF arrives, too scared about drinking it until then (even though I don't think it'd do anything)

Haha I am the same with the ICs!! It's not like a FRER where your essentially peeing on a fiver 🤣🤣

Welcome everyone, let's be impatient together!

I have already tested which is ridiculous as its only a week since we DTD and I have no idea if that was even around ovulation!! 🤦‍♀️

The only thing that stops me peeing on sticks is waking at around 4am busting & forgetting till I wake at 6 and think ah damn it missed my chance haha!

What's the earliest we should test from? To hopefully get a result?

I’ll join, also due af on the 13th according to my phone- I haven’t been tracking, this is first month trying but should be roughly in sync with you made. I had spotting 26th and 27tb and think that must have been ovulation even though I’ve never had it before. Or, it was some weird effect of taking my implant out 🤷‍♀️. This will be #3.

@Fireplacedreamer I'm the same! (Hence the 4am post!) I think realistically there's a slight chance you'll get a faint line (depending on the test sensitivity) 5 days before AF due and this chance increases the closer you get. Of course the advice is just to wait until you have missed a period but there's only a handful of women who are that patient 🤣

Welcome @timeisnotaline

How long ago did you get your implant removed?

Hi, can I join please 🙂 I'm 7dpo going by my CB opks and due AF on the 13th. Going to test on Monday when I'll be 10dpo and then Wednesday if no luck.

Who am I kidding, I'll probably test Tuesday too 🤣 but if nothing by Wednesday then I'll just wait for AF I think.

Implant was removed 12 feb made so I wasn’t sure if I’d ovulate this month, but I feel like spotting makes it likely I did. Dunno!
