New to the TWW - with my first it was a semi unplanned pregnancy so didn't experience this!
Anybody else around a similar time? (I think I'm around 5 dpo at the moment)
This is my second cycle but didn't properly go for it last month. Counting down the days until I can test!

@ClarenceTheCat yeah I took one last night and it has gone pretty weak. So either I've already ovulated which isn't normal for me especially at day 11, or I'm going to have another peak this week! Luckily we have DTD a few times so 🤞🏼🤞🏼 We will see, I'll keep testing just to be sure!!

If not I guess technically I'm in my 2WW as AF is due 2 weeks today.

I know it's so hard not to look out for symptoms but the last few months has told me to really try not to! Every month I've had completely different symptoms and AF has come bang on time 🙈. Xx

It's quite exciting isn't it? Until AF comes anyway. 🤦🏼‍♀️ like you mine has come like clockwork no matter what I've though/felt!

Took more tests this morning and saw the faintest hint of a line so dipped a second one 😂 left them upstairs and going to check in a few mins! X

I had an overwhelming urge to test this morning at 10dpo! Can't stop shaking.

@ClarenceTheCat I can see the lines on the IC's but not the FR because it's a bit blurry and dark 🤞

I can 100% see something!! Hoping it's not an indent line too.

Does AF come pretty spot on for you? If she hasn't come her then fingers crossed. Maybe leave until tomorrow and test again 🤞🏼🤞🏼 how exciting. Xx

Got line eyes but I'm sure I can see something on the FRER too. Just very slightly 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 xx

Congratulations @Madeoftea 💕
Is the clear blue one an early one?
AF is somewhat regular I'd consider myself late On Tuesday :)

I did a clear blue digital but it wasn't an early one 🤦🏼‍♀️ and I'm defo not close enough for those to work.

I'm going to try again tomorrow probably!
@carlsi6 glad you can see it too! I thought I was going crazy. I defo don't see anything on the frer! X

@ClarenceTheCat well I'm keeping everything crossed for you. Yeh I think the FRER is just playing tricks on my eyes. Maybe try later tonight as it might have developed a bit by then.

So far for me AF rocks up at 9am exactly after day 25, (very specific!!?) so I think hopefully if I'm late I'd know straight away.

You girls are giving me serious positive vibes today! I'm going to do an OPK in a few hours just to make sure I deffo had my peak. I'm pretty positive I ovulated on Sunday though so I think I'm 2dpo 🤞🏼🤞🏼 xx

Well it seems that my Body doesn't have a clue what it's doing!! Lord of EWCM again and Back to high but not peak. Luckily we DTD last night 🤞🏼

This is why I think I need to by a clear blue next month if no success as they're so unclear. Is it possible to have two surges?

Turns out I clearly didn't ovulate the other day. I've just tested again now and I'm at peak! My DH doesn't come home until 9pm I'm like can you come home now time is money 😂🤣

I think he thinks I've lost it! Xx

Hello everyone! I’m1 or 2dpo I think. Happy to join just for the chats!

Regarding CM, I don’t (ever) have a lot of discharge.. is anyone else like this? I came off the pill 2 months ago and sort of expected to feel a bit wetter.. but I am not really. I have some - I’m fairly convinced I has EWCM but having never tracked it, I’m not sure!

@ClarenceTheCat think you might get a more definitive answer to those lines/not lines tomorrow or Thursday!

Congratulations @Madeoftea!!

That made me laugh so much - I was like that on my peak. I sat DH down and was like if you want to get me pregnant now is the time - like now 😂
I hope this time works! 💕

@Awarsewolf
Welcome! I've got loads so going to keep testing!
I don't really track CM - I can usually just tell... sorry! Not much use!

@Awarsewolf I don't really get anything until I'm ovulating and them BAM.

@ClarenceTheCat hahaha they don't understand the efforts we go through! All they've got is one job 🤣 he's at football too so he will be winging his legs are sore when he gets in well tough mate!! 😭😂 xx

@ClarenceTheCat I don't actually know if the clear blue was an early one or not, just a weeks one leftover from before my mc. I did the early clear blue line one first though and it came up before the time was up so I just thought I'd give it a shot anyway. I needed written proof!

I've been super tired for a few days and I feel like I'm going to fall asleep standing up which I guess makes sense now 😂

Are you testing again tomorrow??

@carlsi6 we hadn't DTD in over a week before my peak because I didn't get it until day 27! We did it twice that night and that was it... always a chance!

@Madeoftea I'm laughing out loud because I'm clearly going to try twice now ... after football... the poor lad won't be able to walk tomorrow 😂😂

I tested again this morning although my FMU didn't seem very strong if you get me. I did drink over a litre through the night though 🤦🏼‍♀️
I used a clear blue digital - BFN
AND the cheapies. Got these:
Not sure if I can see a line today 😭

@carlsi6 hope you were successful last night 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

@ClarenceTheCat oh I'm so sorry! When's AF due again?

Yeah we DTD, I was getting strong pains in right side last night, however literally just took another OPK, don't normally in the morning and it is darker than last night. I think that's deffo a positive as I've never had a line that dark. 😂🙈 never ending!! Xx

Not till Sunday/Monday! Still not entirely regular after being on the pill.
I'm really gutted about it! Had a feeling and then the test the other day with the faint line!
Kind of just need AF to come so I can try again!

Have you done more OPKs today? X

@ClarenceTheCat awww I'm gutted for you however don't give up hope yet. There's still time and it could be way too early. Maybe test at the weekend? 🤞🏼

Erm yeah so I genuinely don't know what's going on, tested when I got in from work at 6pm. It was even darker like 2 x darker than this morning 🥴 so it must be imminent - DTD again!! But that's not like me, normally I get a peak for a few hours and that's it. My boobs are absolutely killing too xx

There's so many symptoms I'm spitting though! 🤦🏼‍♀️ I wish I wasn't so hyper vigilant!

That's really strange. Have you done a pregnancy test?
I'm sure I read somewhere that OPKs test positive if pregnant!
