TWW anyone? I’m 5 to 6 dpo?

[Rainbowbaby16]

Going crazy symptom spotting and peeing on sticks, trying to interpret what results I have. 😫. Anyone going through the TWW?

@Exquis see I was using the clear blue digial ovulation kits so it doesn't link up to an app. I am going through all the motions now. I was convinced I was this month due to the sore boobs and back ache, but then I did another test yday (8/9 dpo) in the afternoon and it was negative so i am now thinking i am imagining the symptoms etc.

It is probs too early to be testing so i should just relax but not even a faint line! this is so bloody hard! still got everything crossed. AF due Thursday

I am 5/6dpo. I've had some horrible cramping on my left side.
My boobs are getting sore, but they tend to do this in the lead up to a visit from AF. It's been getting worse recently and last month I couldnt let the dude touch them from around a week before my period until a few days after.
I've also been feeling a bit sick when I drink coffee but I have had this before in the lead up to my period so I'm trying not to read to much into it all but it's so hard.

[quote SchofeTee]@Lozzie118 amazing! congrats hun. 13dpo too! wishing you a wonderful 9 months

question: did you class your dpo as from your first smiley on an opk or the second? I had a smiley on Tues 13th & Wed 14th so not sure whether to start counting from Tuesday or Wednesday? I'm either 9dpo or 10dpo[/quote]
So my clearblue fertility monitor didn't pick up my peak this month 🙊🙈. I backed up with opks tho and had a strong line on the Wednesday but a very dark positive on the Friday. So I think I ovulated on the Saturday due to some pain that day too x I would go with 9dpo just to be safe. It's all about implantation now anyways and everyone does that in their own time x

@SchofeTee I'll keep everything crossed for you, I was thinking of asking my OH to hide my tests from me this month. I dread to think how much I've spent on tests 😅

@SkaterChick we're at about the same point in our cycle by the sounds of it. When is your AF due.

I've got a manic run of shifts until Thursday so I'm hoping that will take my mind off the wait.

@Exquis so I got a bfn yesterday and AF due Thursday. My boobs are so sore today and I never get this but I'm guessing now it could be coming off the contraceptive patch? Maybe this is what my hormones do just naturally?

Proper gutted but gonna take my own advice now. No more ovulation sticks or overthinking it. Just gonna relax and let what's meant to be, be. Still got fingers crossed 🤞🏼 for you

@SchofeTee I definitely think it takes a little while for our bodies to adjust after coming off contravention.

My periods are so different compared to pre pill, not sure if it's the pill or my age 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sorry about your BFN, I've tested twice with no luck.

Im going to to give grapefruit juice a try next month (apparently helps with CM 😂)

@Exquis when you say CM you mean cervical mucus? Can that really help?

Got AF today so 100% not happened this month. Onto the next cycle

@SchofeTee yes, apparently if you drink it leading up to ovulation it can increase cervical mucous. The glamour 😂

So bleeding has stopped after 2.5 days, I have no idea what's going on.xx

@Lozzie118 oh? So have you done another test? Could be implantation bleeding?

How's it going everyone?! I need advice!!

I feel like I had some cramping 2 days ago (Monday) which was day 21 of my cycle, so prime time for implantation cramping. I am desperate to test tomorrow morning but should I wait? I am due on 6 days from now so Tuesday next week, the 24th.

Be my reasoning! I have had some different feelings of nausea and sore boobs etc but I did this to myself last month and don't want the disappointment again.

Hi all.
I was on this thread in the very beginning last month.... I was becoming very stressed out and obsessed. I was also worried some of it was my grief from MMC in May, I said i would take a break this month- enjoy my bday, drinking , eating what I want ( within reason- I mean all the patè and cured meats lol) and although I'm petrified ( because of previous experience) I got a BFP this month.... !!
I didn't track, record any sex, everytime I symptom spotted I told myself it's just something else in my body..chucked it out of my head and just got on with something else....
I was getting so annoyed last month because I could see even with doing everything I'm 'supposed' to do it wasn't happening and I was adding VERY high stress to the situation and I knew that was making it worse ...... I found it better for my sanity... I knew after this month I'd go back to 'trying' but was hoping I'd be some what looser with it.... anyway what I'm saying is... I think relaxing works for me... it did back in March too... was the one month I wasn't 'trying' .... good luck to you all xxxxx

@doodledeedum OMG I am the same! My bday is August 12th and I said to my OH that this month I wasn't going to track anything whatsoever. I was logging when we had sex and was vaguely aware of my ovulation period but I wasn't worrying about it. Had a great birthday and drunk as I should etc. Then I did a test on Thursday last week which was a BFN and I was gutted. It was a cheap first response one from Amazon and i think it was a fake test! Did a Clearblue on Saturday and got my BFP!!!

Relaxing does help!!! Oh, and maybe the Pregnacare Conception tablets too! What is you EDD then? (p.s the pic was taken at The Natural History Museum as i was soooo impatient lol).

@SchofeTee congratulations!!! Love the photo op at the museum 😂 I'm estimating end of April.... I got to 5 weeks last time and I'm close to that now so I'm keeping everything crossed 🤞🏼

@doodledeedum I have an EDD of May 3rd! I think I am going to be 4 weeks tomorrow but can't be sure exactly. Though I think I conceived around August 10th.

Everything crossed for you too chick! I have such strong symptoms, even stronger than with my first so I am really hoping it is a strong pregnancy. Just wanna tell everyone already!

@SchofeTee oh I'm very different this time .... even the way I think i implanted was diff ( I mean il never know now!) and I had severe cramping a few days back- worse than ever had so I'm very scared and just have to wait now..... I'm so pleased for you though x if I get to continue this journey be nice to go through it together x

@doodledeedum I always believe that the more symptoms you have the stronger the pregnancy! So cramping is good!! I have bad lower back pain, nausea and tummy cramps too.

Try and find me on Facebook if you are on it, Sophie Timms from Slough! My dp is me, my OH and my 18 month old. Let's keep positive together!

@SchofeTee yeah other than the cramps... my boobs and nipples have only just started getting painful/sore.... sure il request you now!

I’m 7dpo but was silly and did a test yesterday as I have had sore boobs since ovulation. Do you think these faint lines are just evaps? Tesco own are the pregnancy tests

@JessicaAnne1993 they could be but honestly don't torture yourself this early on. I did a test 11dpo and got the pic below. It was sooooo faint. 7dpo is so early

I know as soon as I did them I was like why do I put myself through it I will wait now until AF is due I think x

Or just another 4/5 days! The day I got that faint line I got a pregnant 1-2 on a digital test

Yeah I will wait a few days, we’ve been TTC since April 2020 and I have endometriosis and due a dye test on my tubes in October so I think I’m fat too eager to get a positive result this month but what will be will be x

@JessicaAnne1993 I think as soon as you give up and relax it is more likely to happen! Fingers crossed for you!

Hi ladies, I have been lurking in the background on this thread…have now hit 10DPO, no symptoms I don’t think but got this SUPER faint (maybe imagining it?) line this morning…not sure if I’m going mad or not? Hard to see in picture! Currently drinking a gallon of water to go try a Clearblue before I need to leave for work! Any thoughts appreciated! Anyone else get similar 10 DPO?
