Hey everyone so this is my third cycle ttc again, I'm so impatient and these cycles can be so lonely sometimes so wondered if any one wanted some company this TWW.

Just abit of back story. Im 22 from Kent. I have a 2yo girl and have had a few chemicals and miscarriages since having my little girl.
I'm also a poas addict so faint lines more then welcome here tooo!! X

@SaraSS
What do opks show if they come up dark?
I’ve not done temping. So don’t know much about it.
9dpo is still early... but fingers crossed you’ll get an answer in the next day or two! In time for Father’s Day!
I’m 6dpo... few period like cramps today. But nothing else.
Got so much going on at home I’ve not even had a chance to think!

Hey all

9DPO aswell, not yet tested I have resisted which I'm surprised by, but I have not got any test in and trying not to test before Saturday...

I haven't really had any symptoms this month, I have had a heavy feeling in stomach this morning like an anxious feeling but not so much cramps, I always hate from 9DPO, one day I'm feeling positive, next I'm thinking don't get my hopes up.

I had a temp dip this morning but I did do it earlier as my dog woke me at 4:30am so did it then rather then 7am - not sure if that makes a difference, hoping it goes back up tomorrow!

SaraSS · 16/06/2021 20:57

@Poppet2021 it shows LH hormone which increases before you ovulate.
I believe you can get increases before AF and also in the lead up to a BFP.
From what I've read you always have some LH but it just increases at certain times, which is why a positive is when the test line is darker than the control line. So even if there is a test line, it's not positive until it's dark.
I'm new to OPKs, and just reading all about them.
To be honest, there is a possibility i have PCOS as I have some symptoms, but it's never been confirmed, if I do, that could be the cause of the fluctuating OPKs.. or of course I could just be reading far too much into it 😂
Glad to hear you are keeping busy! It's the best thing to do in the TWW! I hope it goes quick for you and we can hopefully gets some BFPs on here! 😁

SaraSS · 16/06/2021 21:02

@purpleskyssssss oh wow! You have so much will power 🙇‍♀️ I don't know how you do it!
Your symptoms sound promising 😊 I really haven't had anything at all this cycle, it's all been about the OPKs and temping.
I've heard that the timing of temping can impact it, something to do with how deeper sleep you were in?? Let us know how you get on tomorrow!

PairOfPears · 16/06/2021 21:22

Can’t believe we’ve nearly filled this thread! I haven’t tested either, very tempting to do it tomorrow at 10dpo but I might try really hard to wait until 11. I peed on a lot of sticks last cycle and it messed with my head a bit! Good luck with resisting it purple.

You’re so good keeping going with the temps @purpleskyssssss @SaraSS. I always forget or sometimes I wake up and do it immediately then realise it’s 11.30pm and I’ve only been asleep an hour 😂

@Poppet2021 hope all is okay at home, the cramps could be promising!

Poppet2021 · 16/06/2021 21:27

@PairOfPears
Aww exciting! Have you got your tests ready! Sending you lots of luck and baby dust!!!!

Things are ok....thanks for asking :0)

Just feeling mentally exhausted and tired now!

You must update us with your test result! 😊

PairOfPears · 16/06/2021 22:30

@Poppet2021 I’ve got 20 cheapies and 2 FRERs, I’m ready to go wild 😆

Poppet2021 · 16/06/2021 22:52

@PairOfPears so you can do a frer now. That should give an accurate result?!

Goodluck :0)
Excited to hear of BFPs!!

purpleskyssssss · 17/06/2021 07:29

Hahah @PairOfPears you are nicely stocked up!!

@SaraSS I've only got will power this month as refused to get any in the house... otherwise I'm pissing on 3 a day!!

My temp have gone back up today... 🤞 but this is my first month temping so I don't really have anything to go off, as to when it would drop if AF was coming... still not symptoms here really, which is strange as I normally cramp a good week before AF comes

PairOfPears · 17/06/2021 22:41

BFN for me this morning on a cheapie, I’m saving my FRERs! Anyone else?

Poppet2021 · 17/06/2021 22:56

@PairOfPears
Hello! 😊
Still early!! How many dpos?
I’m 7dpo. Got period cramps and twinges but that’s it. Think it’s just getting ready for period next week!

PairOfPears · 18/06/2021 06:34

10DPO. I’m patchy at taking my temps but that seems to be dropping too, doesn’t feel like my month! 7DPO is still really early for you, all still to play for ☺️

@SaraSS how is your testing going? And @purpleskyssssss are you still resisting?

purpleskyssssss · 18/06/2021 06:57

Yes @PairOfPears still resisting!! Really struggling now though but I think I will test tomorrow and go out supper early to buy a test as if I buy some tonight they will be gone 🤣

My temp did drop this morning about 0.1, hasn't gone below my cover line yet, I have one app saying I'm due tomorrow and one Monday... so I'm going for Sunday 🤣🤣

SaraSS · 18/06/2021 12:55

Hi! Apologies for the quietness, I've been lurking but not had chance to reply! DP birthday yesterday and making a start on some decorating today so been super busy!
I'm still getting BFNs 😣 I did an FRER yesterday too but no luck.
I'm feeling this month isn't the month to be honest, not based on anything logical just an inclination.. we shall see though! My app says 4 days until AF due - but I'm not sure how accurate that is..
Anyone else tested today?

Poppet2021 · 18/06/2021 14:35

Hey ladies
Hope you are all well.
@SaraSS you never know...it still can come positive! enjoy decorating! I’m 8dpo so super early still.

@purpleskyssssss did you test?

@PairOfPears have you tested again?

PairOfPears · 18/06/2021 17:50

Got BFN this morning on a FRER but then AF arrived this afternoon - seems I had quite a short luteal phase this month but no way to know if this is the same every month or could be a problem! Anyway I’m relieved to know either way and looking forward to going again next month ☺️ Good luck all, I’ll be sticking around to hopefully see bfps!

Poppet2021 · 18/06/2021 18:09

@PairOfPears - ahh I’m sorry you are out this month! Treat yourself this weekend. Chill and relax. And then take it all in your stride again!

purpleskyssssss · 18/06/2021 18:32

@Poppet2021 not yet, I haven't brought any so that's the only way I can resist! I am going to nip out super early tomorrow!

@PairOfPears it's always the case you test and then AF arrives on next toilet run🤨 sorry to hear BFN, but like you said onto the next cycle and enjoy your weekend! Defiantly worth a big fat treat!!

@SaraSS yep not out till AF comes but I know how difficult it is to feel positive when you see a BFN on a FRER!

PairOfPears · 18/06/2021 19:40

Thanks guys, all good, I’ve learned a lot this month tracking temps, opks etc for the first time! Everything crossed for the rest of you xxx

SaraSS · 18/06/2021 21:05

@pairofpears sorry to hear you're out, but good it's a positive learning about opks and temps. Good luck for the next cycle 😁
Don't think I'm far behind you with AF, had some awful cramps today!

purpleskyssssss · 19/06/2021 10:40

Hey ladies, went out today to get some test - got a BFN, feel more disheartened this month as I have no AF symptoms even now and normally have a 12/13 day luteal phase starting with spotting.

I know I should take my own advice and not out until AF shows her face, but I think because I used a FRER I just know

Will be going into my 8th month TTC this month and think I'm going to take a step back from everything tracking!

Good luck for next cycle @PairOfPears
Good luck @SaraSS & @Poppet2021 still waiting on them BFP ❤️❤️❤️ keep us updated

PairOfPears · 19/06/2021 11:31

Sorry about your bfn @purpleskyssssss. Never easy to see. Hopefully you can have a more relaxed month next month, totally understand why you’d get fed up of all the tracking. Treat yourself this weekend xx

Poppet2021 · 19/06/2021 13:03

Hey ladies
@purpleskyssssss - still doesn’t mean you are out. Saying it easy but it’s hard too! How many DPO are you?

I’m 9dpo and took a cheapie and clear bright BFN!!
I have a clear blue digital one... which says you can use it 5 days prior to period. But not sure if there is a point.
I do feel like I’m out though.
Getting period pains and little nausea. But had the same last month and was BFN.

purpleskyssssss · 19/06/2021 14:05

@PairOfPears yes defiantly going to treat myself, go away with OH tomorrow for a few days for our anniversary, so lots of red wine!!

@Poppet2021 I know and I'm 12DPO just going to wait now and if no AF I will use my other FRER Monday - symptoms are just so similar arnt they! I would wait to use your CB maybe get a cheapie, I've done them many times too early then kick myself for using a expensive test when still early!

purpleskyssssss · 20/06/2021 07:33

Hey ladies woke up this morning and AF came! Onto the next month 🙂

Good luck ladies! Hope we all get out BFP!!
