TWW - 7/8th May

[ClarenceTheCat]

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]

Welcome @Missnataliex !
How many dpo are you? :)

[carlsi6]

@ClarenceTheCat I don't know you know I feel like on the top one I can see something! It's not really very clear though. Try again tomorrow 🤞🏼🤞🏼

I know, I'm thinking that if my OPK tests positive in the morning again I'll do a pregnant test. I really don't think it's been long enough though and I'm pretty sure my last period was 100% a period and not an implantation bleed xx

[carlsi6]

@Missnataliex I know how you feel I'm the same. I'm so relieved I've found this chat! Only one of my best friends know. I don't want to tell anyone else really because I think they'll be questioning me every week! It's nice to have others to talk to in the same situation xxx

Hi all, I hope you don't mind me joining. Looks like there are some promising tests above - congratulations!

I am 8DPO today but am yet to test. I used OPK's and preseed this cycle. I've been TTC for 10 months now so am massively fed up with the whole thing.

Planning to test on Saturday

@ClarenceTheCat

Welcome *@Missnataliex* !
How many dpo are you? :)

Roughly about 7 days DPO. I have been using the flo app to track my ovulation and hoping we're lucky on first try ..... I have a feeling it won't be that easy though 🤣 you? Xxx

[Missnataliex]

@carlsi6 I'm in the exact same boat as you! Only told 1 friend. I have an Italian mother so you can just imagine the questions 🤣🤣🤦‍♀️ xx

[carlsi6]

@ClarenceTheCat

I've tested this morning OPK is still saying peak again so I've took a pregnancy test and it's a BFN as expected.

Clearly my body is still getting used to hormones etc after coming off the pill. Only thing I can think of is it's trying to ovulate and has managed to yet. Really strange as my peak never lasts this long xx

[carlsi6]

My god I've just read online that positives for 3/5 days can mean double ovulation increasing your chance of twins 😂🤣🤣 that would be a nice surprise!!

@Missnataliex im the oldest out of all of her children and she has been nagging for soooo long. My brother and his GF fell pregnant accidentally last year so Thats took the pressure of a bit 😂😂 xx

[Missnataliex]

@carlsi6 hahaha I'm sure that did take the pressure off for a while but it won't be long before she's asking again🤣 my sister has 3 and just needs to sneeze and she'll get pregnant. 3 of my best friends are pregnant with their 2nd and 3rd and I'm just sitting here waiting patiently for my 1st🙄🤦‍♀️ do you take pre natal vits? I'm on pregnacare right now. Not feeling a huge difference yet. Feeling more tired than usual this week! Probs all the baby dancing with the partner🤣 xx

[carlsi6]

@Missnataliex ... well they just came to see me and my mum was like your grandma has been asking when you're going to have babies ... I guess that was short lived 😂😂😂

At the moment all I take is folic acid, iron & vitamin D. I have cut my alcoholic & caffeine consumption down quite a bit too xx what about you?

[Missnataliex]

@carlsi6 hahaha oh using the grandma card. That's rough. I'm taking the prenagare conception that contains folic acid, Inositol, vitamin D & B 12 & CoQ10! I don't drink a lot either and eat healthy and workout. Have you been experiencing any symptoms during your TWW? xxx

[carlsi6]

@Missnataliex to be honest I don't even know what my body is even doing or where I'm at with it. Took another OPK about a hour ago and it's still showing as positive so I'm baffled. I've read I may be having a double ovulation but even more confused as AF is due in 11 days so
I don't even know if that would be enough time?! It's all very confusing. I'm getting major pain in both left and right sides though normally it's localised to one side so I do think I genuinely could be double ovulating!! Going to DTD later again just to be sure.

If we have no luck this month I'm going to get some more vitamins for next cycle xx

[ClarenceTheCat]

@carlsi6 that sounds exciting! Double the chances too!
Coming off the pill Is rubbish isn't it! I hope things settle down - at least then you'd know where you stand.

@Missnataliex I'm using Flo too - it says I'm still three days out from period.

I've just been to toilet and had brown spotting - not normal for me but I assume I'm out! 😭 need AF to hurry up so I can try again.
I took this test though and my brain is still trying to say there is something there 🤦🏼‍♀️
I've definitely got a problem!

[Missnataliex]

@ClarenceTheCat I'm still 7 days out and took a test today ... far too early don't know what possessed me🤣 OH would not be happy that I tested without him but my god the temptation was too much! That photo ...... I can see the line at the left hand side but it's white .... still hope? The brown spotting could be implantation! Fingers crossed for us!!!!! Xxx

[bethabean]

Hi, hope it's okay for me to join! I'm in my first month of ttc and am 3 days off my expected AF. Good luck to everyone and congratulations to those with already positive tests! X

[carlsi6]

@bethabean welcome!! How exciting, have you had any symptoms xx

[bethabean]

@carlsi6 no, no symptoms and I just did a test and it was negativeI couldn't resist! Need to stop getting my hopes up and remember this is my first month ttc! Wishing you all the luck :)

[carlsi6]

@bethabean don't worry lovely, I have a feeling I'll be here next month too but thats ok! Slow and steady wins the race eh xx

[carlsi6]

Well girls my OPKS are finally starting to fade thank god! Only thing now is it's literally only 10 days until AF is due. So don't think my luteal phase is long enough 😭🤞🏼 I'll keep everything crossed. I'm assuming today I am 1DPO then.

Any news with anyone else? Xx

[Missnataliex]

Roughly 8 days DPO..... slight cramping (thinking PMT cramps but can't be sure) negative HPT (too early possibly) but did an ovulation test as slight cramping around pelvic area and slight positive. Has anyone had this so far post ovulation? Xxx

[carlsi6]

@Missnataliex hard to say, mine is pretty much there all month I just get a higher peak or positive around ovulation! When is AF due? I would wait another couple days if possible xx

[Missnataliex]

It wasn't there yesterday though that's the thing. Our bodies are strange🤣 I'm the between 12-15th May! Xxx

[klm018]

Tested today and got this result. I've had a mc and cp recently so feeling nervous.

[Missnataliex]

@klm018 CONGRATULATIONS 🎉❤️ xxxx

[carlsi6]

@klm018 congrats!! That's looking a very strong positive, how many DPO are you??

@Missnataliex ah I see, try again tomorrow and fingers crossed you'll see a line!! AF is due on the 17th for me. I'm only 1/2DPO I can't say for sure but I'm cramping which is odd. Think that would be too early for anything though so no idea xx
