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.

@AAR25 that is so annoying for you, the hardest part is the hanging about waiting one way or another isn’t it 😩 are you taking any vitamins that could have delayed AF? I only as as our first month ttc I took pregnacare conception vits which for some reason delayed my AF by 5 days, apparently there known for extending LP!

Yeah I’m not sure if I can carry on with the grapefruit juice 😂 didn’t think it would be this bad lol. No not our first month, this will be our 5th month now, can feel myself turning into a crazy person haha x

@Bellesjp just folic acid but have been taking that about 2 months and last period was on time. Maybe it's only just getting into my system.

Well at least you made it this far without being crazy. I turned crazy at 1dpo x

@AAR25 hope you get an answer either way soon 🤞🏼 Think our bodies like to play tricks on us when ttc!!

I’ve been so chilled this cycle until a tiny bit of spotting on cd26.

Now I’m like what is this?!

Why is TTC such a headache?

@xTinkerbell how are you doing? Have you tested?

How’s everyone else doing? I’m cd10 today and started opks again today, been temping every morning and had reasonably consistent temperature so far!

@Bellesjp tested yesterday, bfp!! Still early so a bit anxious.

@xTinkerbell congratulations 💕 best of luck x

Anyone still on this thread? How you guys doing?

I’m CD16 today and still no real high on an opk so not sure what’s going on there, would usually have had at least a high reading by now. Have been temping everyday and have had fairy consistent temperatures, has dropped a bit in the last few days, had read that can do this before ov but no peak opk so 🤷🏼‍♀️

Also I stuck with the grapefruit juice and have defo had more CM this month 😂

Hey @Bellesjp , I'm still here!

AF didn't arrive til 5 days late so I'm behind now 😔 I'm on cycle day 11 so not too far behind you.

Using OPKs this month but which app do you use with them?

Oh good I'm glad the grapefruit is working for you 🤣

Hey @AAR25! You’ll probs be the same as me as I’m cd17 but still no high opk so looks like I’m gonna be late or maybe not ov 🤔

I use the Femometer app for tracking opks, you can take a pic of them in the app then it shows you comparison day by day and it tracks your cycle as well so you can put in when you dtd etc 😊

@Bellesjp have you had a high OPK yet?

Thanks I've downloaded that one and it's much better than the others I've been using

@AAR25 no still not, beginning to think maybe I won’t this month 🙈 not tested today yet as usually do when I get home from work but was still a faint line last night so not holding out much hope

How are you doing?

Think I got nearly peak opk tonight, my apps saying peak but I don’t think it’s quite there?

@Bellesjp definitely getting darker aren't they.

I'm only cycle day 12 I still got a few days before peak I think. This is my first cycle using them so will be interesting to see if I ovulate early or late. Never knew there was so much to TTC 😭

How is everybody getting on?

@Bellesjp did you get your peak? X

Hey @AAR25 yes I did get my peak finally on cd19 and cd20! Interestingly my Femometer app is saying ovulation was on cd18 due to temp rise on cd19 so a bit confused on what dpo I am! Either 9dpo or 5dpo 🙈 my boobs are sore at the moment and had a few twinges in the womb area 🙈 trying not to symptom spot too much!

How are you doing? Did you get your peak?

@Bellesjp oh how random. I've heard that BBT can change a lot depending on things like what you sleep in. Was anything much different that you know of?

I never got peak just high, will add the photo. I guess if I'd have tested in the evening of 30th it might have been peak? Carried on testing and it's stayed low.

When are you planning on testing? I've just had a funny constant stitch like feeling on my right side but could be anything

@AAR25 oh yeah looks like you could have missed the peak, I bet it was the eve of 30th as it looks very nearly peak 30th and 1st May!

No I haven’t really changed anything so not sure 🤔 time will tell I guess lol think I’m going to try and wait til Sunday so I’ll either be 12dpo or 9dpo 🙈 today I feel a bit like I usually feel before af arrives but still a while to go!

When will you test?

@Bellesjp I think that must be the case, also had static smileys on CB digital on 29th and 30th.

I'm going for Sunday with an FRER too! But I will probably do a cheapie before then just for the hell of it. Even my partner keeps saying surely it's time to test by now. He's worse than me!

@AAR25 haha mines the same 😂 he doesn’t get that you have to wait to test lol

I’ve only got cheapies but might treat myself and pick up a proper test if I’m feeling like af not coming!

@Bellesjp let me know how you get on! X

@AAR25 I caved and tested this afternoon and bfn 😩 something made me test as I just feel a bit different, had weird cm last night and this morning, watery and a lot of it (sorry tmi!) and been getting strange cramps but could be too early still and I only held my wee for 2 hours 🙈 try again in the morning!

Good luck tomorrow if you test 🤞🏼

@Bellesjp oh no! Well if it makes you feel any better I did a cheapie this morning too and was BFN as expected. Like you say it would still be really early days so chances of even a very faint line are slim aren't they.

Did you use a sensitive one? I have two FRERs, can't decide whether to use them tomorrow and if a bfn again on Wednesday or leave it a few more days and use a cheapie tomorrow?

@AAR25 sorry to hear you got bfn as well! We’re not very good at waiting are we 😂 I used a cheapie as well, let’s hope it was just too early for us both! I only have cheapies in the house or I know I’ll waste the good ones lol. If I get a squinter on a cheapie then I’ll go and buy a frer to confirm!

@Bellesjp no we're not very good but oh well at least they weren't the expensive ones yesterday.

I did a FRER this morning, BFN again. Today would be the earliest day I could test with it going off usual 28 day cycle but last month was 31 days so going to just do cheapies now til late next week

When will you test again?
