Hi all I am currently 1DPO.
Anyone else entering their TWW? Smile
or if you're further along in your cycle how many DPO are you and do you have any symptoms?
My period is due 20th of August.
Xx

@hormonalhandbag Hope you had a nice break 😊 I'm heading on a caravan trip to Wales with a friend, staycation summer! Not sure how relaxing it will be with 2 toddlers and a baby between us, but it will be fun I'm sure 😅

[quote SLT90]@louise1997 I just really wish we'd covered ovulation day, then I would feel more at peace even if AF shows up 🤣🤣[/quote]
Me too! I didn't cover ovulation day either 😩 I DTD day 13 & 14 & ovulated day 15. But here it says you only have an 8% chance of conceiving on the actual day of ovulation x 🤔

@hormonalhandbag yep! Last night up at 2 am boiling hot- super thirsty chugging water in the bathroom like no tomorrow 😂

Unfortunately I didn't have a Chinese to blame it on ha x

Weird one ladies...!
Didn’t get EWCM of any extent to note during OV at the weekend (got peak Sat lunchtime/afternoon)
But just been to the toilet now and had a small bit of perfectly clear stringy CM that stretched in a line between my fingers (sorry if you’re eating 🤢)

Do you think this could be left over from OV?
Could I be OV’ing for a second time?
I have been staying in a caravan but I have been showering 😝
Is this normal in the TWW?

Hi all hope yous are keeping good !
I caved and took a test yesterday and I was vvvfaint line ! Took another 2 tests today or first pee and second about 3pm and 2 of them came back again showing vvfaint lines !!

How is this even possible am 7DPO if I’ve got my ovulation correct this was first month TTC using ovulation sticks so going by my peak I am 7DPO

Feel in shock and scared to get excited going to keep testing to see it the lines get darker.

What do yous think to early ? I read online it can show lines when implantation happens so not sure

SLT90 · 12/08/2021 17:15

@louise1997 OK looks like we both got the most important days then!! 🤞🤞🤞

It does sound very early but I wouldn't say impossible!! Are you able to post a pic? I'd keep testing daily to see if it gets darker 😊

Very exciting! Do you have any pics? I think it's uncommon to get lines that early but not impossible 🤷‍♀️ still means having to wait a few days to test again!

@laurie95
I think you can take some 'v's out... those are amazing positive looking tests, especially for only 7DPO - that's amazing! Congrats girl!

@Laurie95 definitely looks like the start of something 🥳🥳🥳🥳 congrats, hope it sticks for you!!

Laurie95 · 12/08/2021 18:19

@hormonalhandbag aww thank you especially the one yesterday at 6DPO just didn’t think it would be possible to pick up this early but thank you so much hope yous are to follow next with all your BFP !!

MadamMaltesers · 12/08/2021 18:20

Hi ladies,

im currently 12/13dpo have no af symptoms whatsoever. But then have tested negative at 10 or 11dpo so af is probably on her way

Laurie95 · 12/08/2021 18:29

@SLT90 thank you me too fingers and toes crossed 🤞

Teaandcrumpets95 · 12/08/2021 18:32

@Laurie95 definitely a line! Really hope it continues to progress for you xx

SLT90 · 12/08/2021 18:43

[quote Laurie95]@SLT90 thank you me too fingers and toes crossed 🤞[/quote]
Did you do anything different this month? This was your first month with OPKs isn't that right? When did you DTD? (If you don't mind sharing 😅😅)

xoJellyBean · 12/08/2021 18:49

@Laurie95 they defo look positive ✨🥰 congrats!

Anyone else 5dpo? 🤞🏻

Laurie95 · 12/08/2021 18:52

Thank you @Teaandcrumpets95

@SLT90 yes first month tracking I came off coil end of feb we where extra safe becise I wanted my body to get a break and for my periods to return properly we tried may just natural no luck then both of us got Covid in June. So for July I still wasn’t feeling 100% better and my period in June was 9 days late so I wasn’t sure when I would ovulate so bought the premom ovulation test strips and started TTC for this month.
I’ve attached my little chart from PM app.
I definitely think that’s what worked by knowing when I ovulated.

Sorry the long post but hope this helps.

SLT90 · 12/08/2021 19:13

@Laurie95 thanks for sharing!! I have been trying the premom app and Easy@Home OPKs too! Tried them last cycle to get any idea of my cycle and then this is our first cycle TTC with them 😊 they already showed that ovulation was WAY earlier than predicted, so if I'd gone by my apps I would have potentially missed it!

Laurie95 · 12/08/2021 19:22

@SLT90 yes that’s the thing the other apps just go by average when everyone is so different. I was the same my other ones said I would of ovulated later on so would of missed it aswell this month. But good luck I’m sure you will get yous soon how many DPO are you ?

Teaandcrumpets95 · 12/08/2021 19:39

@xoJellyBean I'm 5dpo too 😊

SLT90 · 12/08/2021 19:44

@Laurie95 I'm 6dpo today 😊 but I'm planning to just wait for AF (although it's tempting seeing you get an early BFP!)

Lacey91 · 12/08/2021 20:38

Hi everyone.
Currently at 12dpo, Started testing from 10dpo but bfn so far. Thought it would be nice to have others to share this journey with ☺️

louise1997 · 12/08/2021 20:39

@Laurie95
