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

No pregnancy tests or strips in Poundland! If that's not a way of saying don't test yet then I don't know what is 😂 Partner did pick up some from Sainsbury's BUT they are the devil!

babyboybluex · 08/07/2021 17:16

@letsgotrilobite Very sorry to read that. I hope you are doing ok and feeling positive for this month - 10DPO is not far away!

Hi all, can I jump over here, I'm on another thread or two but it's a bit quiet over there, I think this is where all the cool people hang out 😂😂
I'm 7dpo today also, ttc #4 after a missed miscarriage in feb. I've just read a few of your latest posts, some of you lovelies have gone through such a tough time, I'm so sorry. You are unbelievably strong X hoping this will be a lucky thread for us all and this will be our time!

Also going to do an opk test this eve! 😂

Rainbowbaby16 · 08/07/2021 18:22

@Cienega

And so sorry to hear about your miscarriage, it’s heart breaking. Fingers cross for the best news this month x

Just a quick question?

Do you time ovulation from your first positive opk or the strongest opk? As my temp took a couple of days to rise, and even then it only went from 36.1 to 36.4. But I read that as long as it rises at least 0.2 then it’s a good sign you have ovulated.

Am I okay to join? I'm 4dpo today, will be testing Monday when I'll be 8dpo. Thinking I ovulated early going by EWCM but probably wrong! Only my first month TTC so not got round to tracking my temp yet etc! X

Lozzie118 · 08/07/2021 18:47

I'm 2dpo can I join feeling a bit lonely and driving myself mad x

Cienega · 08/07/2021 18:49

Thank you lovely @Rainbowbaby16

I time it from my peak. I get EWCM two or three days before my peak as opposed to on the same day. I always get a peak for one day only so I assume ovulation occurrs the next day....

Rainbowbaby16 · 08/07/2021 18:50

@Lozzie118 course you can sweet. I’m not much further into the tww than you. It feels like forever doesn’t it x

@Cienega

I had positive opks on strips and clear blue digital the day before the line got darker on the strips. So wasn’t sure if I just may have taken longer to get to the peak. But the clear blue had the static smiley on it. The day before the darkest opk strip.

Hi to all the newest guys! 🙋🏼‍♀️

Just in case anyone is interested- I follow a lady on Instagram and found her reels and info sooooooo useful and fell pregnant in March after following her for a bit.
She talks about body basal temperature and all the cervical mucus etc, her last live is saved- chatting about progesterone levels and what it al means and does.

Her name is Hannahpearneacupuncture
The link is here https://instagram.com/hannahpearnacupuncture?utmmedium=copyy_link

I just wanted to share the knowledge as when I first started out in the TTC world she helped massively.

Good luck to anyone testing right now

I'm feeling hopeful. I saw a rainbow driving home the other day and today I was journaling and described what could be another pregnancy as the sun poking through a massive storm cloud and that's exactly what I saw driving home today so fingers crossed 🤞🏼 someone is looking down on us x

Lozzie118 · 08/07/2021 20:00

Anyone use the cbfm??xx

Rainbowbaby16 · 08/07/2021 20:58

@Lozzie118

Yes me. Tho I have to say I haven’t found it all they helpful as I have irregular cycles ans like this month I have had more than one peak. Which is a bummer as it wouldn’t let me test after it had detected the first peak x

All lows this month even though had a positive on an. Ternary cheapie??xx

Rainbowbaby16 · 08/07/2021 21:13

@Lozzie118

I guess it works brilliant for people who are text book. But everyone is different and unfortunately for me I didn’t find it helped all that much. And also was very expensive and the refills are very expensive also.

I find the strips work best for me and they are by far the cheapest for an addict like me lol 😂

Lozzie118 · 08/07/2021 22:47

Was meant to say internet cheapie but autocorrect lol x I know it is expensive and it hasn't helped me this month x

Cluelost · 08/07/2021 23:46

Hiya, sorry to join this with my own query butttt you all seem way more clued up than I am! Me and my partner stopped not trying to get pregnant about a month ago (haha) - I barely even know what ovulation is (thanks totally useless sex education haha) so we weren't trying particularly hard! My period is now 6/7 days late - so when do you think i should i take a pregnancy test and which one? Or is it way early still? I should say Ive recently had the covid vaccine and apparently this can though cycles off?!? :s

doodledeedum · 09/07/2021 06:36

I hate myself. Tested this morning KNOWING I wouldn't see anything but I big fat did it anyway 😭

@Cluelost you'd def show a positive IF you are by now hun, u can test from the day of period that was supposed to start. However brace yourself as the vaccine has been known to delay the period starting from what I've seen.
Fingers crossed for u. I want to go back to not thinking about it all too now x

babyboybluex · 09/07/2021 07:42

Hey and good morning to all of our new ladies!! 👋🏼🥰

@doodledeedum Ah! It's so so hard isn't it. I'm going to hold off I think, although, I want to test so badly. My symptoms are increasing!!

Cluelost · 09/07/2021 08:16

@doodledeedum thanks! Would you say I'd be better waiting until first thing in the morning (from frantic googling in the middle of the night that seems to be more reliable?) I guess Im holding off cos I really dont feel pregnant and I dont want the disappointment!

Charliecircle11 · 09/07/2021 08:37

I tested this morning and it was negative. Also did an OPK and no darker. Just going to forget about it this weekend and see what next week brings. Got cramps which have been ongoing for the next few days and been awake most of the night, staring at the ceiling but we shall see

Rainbowbaby16 · 09/07/2021 08:49

Morning everyone, got a bfn this morning with a frer. Opk was slightly darker but very slightly, so fingers crossed 🤞 for some good news at the weekend. Gonna be a busy one so won’t get much time to post but will defo be updating with test news. Just hope to god it’s good news for a change. 😇🌈🤞

Feeling a bit bummed out this morning as had twinges on and off all day yesterday. And boobs still tender. What symptoms has anyone else noticed in the past 24hr? I should be 7 dpo today. I think 🤔. X

babyboybluex · 09/07/2021 08:58

@Charliecircle11 @doodledeedum Still soooooo early ladies! Don't rule yourselves out Smile Most people don't get a BFP until 12DPO x

Charliecircle11 · 09/07/2021 09:14

@babyboybluex yep you are totally right. Just going to give myself the weekend off obsessing 😬😂

Rainbowbaby16 · 09/07/2021 09:27

Has anyone else had any twinges? Best way I can describe is like a short sharp pinch in the middle of my abdo. Lasts no more than than split second, but is enough to make you think 🤔 ouch what was that? Had it yesterday and this morning. Odd?
