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.

@Bellesjp have tried to get a photo but it doesn't pick it up. It's way too faint to tell. Think I've most likely got line eyes

Well DP just got home, I showed him and he said I'm going mad so that's that

Any happy news this morning Ladies?

BFN here

Bfn over here too!

Same!! Just waiting for AF to arrive tomorrow now. Bring on next month....

@madeinthe80z I can feel it coming but 4 days early! Happy weekend to me

@AAR25 that happened to me last month. Was due AF on Saturday and woke at 1am on the Thursday and hello! So frustrating!

Hope everyone is staying positive. Let's all have a prosecco or two this weekend then onwards and upwards!

@madeinthe80z so grim when you're not expecting it! It would make this months cycle only 24 days if she arrives tomorrow which is a bit worrying I think?? Usually between 26/28 days

Yes- Prosecco always! (Apart from when BFP)

I’m not due until Sunday so can’t even have a prosecco 😂 I’ve not got any symptoms either way so trying to stay hopeful but doesn’t feel like our month

Another bfn! How are you guys today?

Same here although I don't know why I bothered wasting a test again. Just want AF to hurry up now so we can get going for next month. Will make sure to get some ovulation strips this month

Oh no 😞 I’ve got a load of cheapies that came with my opks so I don’t feel like I’m wasting money when I test!

My boobs are so sore today but also had a few cramps this morn so af could be on the way!

@Bellesjp think I will do the same with cheapies next month too.

Fingers crossed next cycle will be lucky!

I’ve just ordered a thermometer so I can track bbt next month, does anyone use one on here?

@bellesjp I use one but I'd take the readings with a grain of salt because it really can fluctuate!
Even changing duvets or temp of the house (sunny mornings) would give me completely different readings, especially if DH was cuddling!
Worth the investment for an additional check but it does take months to fully get an understanding of what your norm is x

@Kayleaaa thanks for the info, I will see how I get on with it!

AF here for me today, a day early..

Booo @Bellesjp sorry....one positive though you can have that little tipple tonight...

Onwards and upwards ladies!

I used to temp as well and got into a really good rhythm with it but yep, it is a pretty exact science and can be affected so easily!

@madeinthe80z yeah that is true! And one day earlier we can try again I suppose 😂

Yes onwards and upwards, got to stay positive 💕

Morning guys hope everyone had a lovely weekend!

I'm panicking this morning. AF is due today but no sign of her and I have a hospital appointment for something that you can't have done when pregnant. So I thought I'd do a test this morning to check it's negative and I have got a super faint like.

Can anyone see it or is it just me? Pretty sure it's negative as surely it should be darker for 14dpo

Just done a clear blue which was negative so will go with that

@AAR25 I can see a super faint line in the inverted colour one, does the line have any colour?

Maybe mention it just in case as think frer are more sensitive than clear blue!

@Bellesjp really hard to tell but I think it was possibly a bit pinky. I've thrown it away now as the line I could see had disappeared completely after an hour or so.

My appointment isn't til this evening so just hoping she arrives before then to save any worrying. If not I will mention it to them

Hey hope everyone's getting on okay.

Does anybody ever get period type aches/pains 4/5 days before AF arrives. I don't get cramps as such but just really achey legs which I have had since last Thursday and still no sign of AF but faint dull pains in my stomach today

@AAR25 I sometimes do get cramps a few days before but not achey legs, usually just like a bit of period pains type thing. Hope your appointment was ok, have you done another test today?

I was reading a thing about grapefruit juice increasing CM so thought I’d try it... omg it’s bloody awful, not sure I can bare drinking it everyday until ov 😂

I've never really had much stomach pain just get a really weird achey feeling. This time it's been going on 6 days and I do have a bit of stomach pain too.

Appointment was alright thank you but they were a bit concerned but as I wasn't late at the time and I had a negative test they did the mri. Done a test this evening and another BFN.

Hoping AF arrives tomorrow so I can just get on with it, or a BFP would be nice but I doubt that considering I've not really even had a hint of a line so far. What's confusing me is if luteal phase is usually 14 days, I did ovulation tests on 29th, 30th and 31st and they were all negative. My app says I should have ovulated on 28th so if it's 14 days AF should have arrived by now. Or maybe I have a longer LP 🤷🏼‍♀️

Don't force yourself into drinking grapefruit juice! I'm sure it will happen without the juice, was this your first cycle trying?
