@Heartbrokenmama this forum has been amazing, knowing theres ladies out there going through exactly the same wait is reassuring. Oh its been a rollercoaster, the main thing is you've ovulated and deserve to get good news!! Yeah it'd be a positive to get bloodwork done will help indicate whats going on. You will see the light at the end of the tunnel hopefully soon x

Flowerpot564 · 18/08/2021 13:54

@WJK00 I know I've had enough of babydancing now, just want the BFP. Im currently 5 dpo, and its going so slow. Currently at work, so its a good distraction.

@TinyShrew17

I've started spotting this morning, so think AF is on her way!!

Nevermind. On to next month!

TTC after a loss is so heavy on the mind. 😔 I feel deflated and exhausted. But hopeful for next month. In fact I'll just take by the end of the year. More manageable goal I hope.

Sending love to you all and I hope you get your positives soon! 🥰

aww take it easy on yourself, I know its so disappointing especially after having losses but you will get there.💕

did another test as the symptoms kept coming and I consent resist was negative again 😥 period due due 3 days so I'm assuming this is just my AF symptoms

Flowerpot564 · 18/08/2021 18:23

@Km12345 dont lose hope, i know its so easy but you never know until AF actually shows🤞🏻

traveltheworld1986 · 18/08/2021 19:57

What test is everyone going to use? I just ordered some first response ones although they weren't great when I was pregnant with my DD. I'm only 5DPO (I think) but thinking of testing on Monday, not sure if that's a bad idea!! Losing my mind! Sending lots of love:)

cockneysparra1 · 18/08/2021 20:06

Can I join too please? I'm only 3dpo and have of course been feeling symptoms since we dtd 🤣

WJK00 · 18/08/2021 20:39

@cockneysparra1 ah we cycle buddies I'm roughly 3/4 DPO Grin

I'm deffo going to try not symptom spot this month. I was 90% sure I was pg last month but af showed up right on time Blushbut it's soooo hard not to!!!

Ive just got some cheapy easy@home ones, they are really sensitive so if i get a positive on that, then will get a expensive one😂. Im around 5dpo aswell, hope we get good news!

We are trying for number 2 and promised myself I wouldn't get obsessed this time. We only dtd once this month so I'm not holding out much hope but you never know! I can't even remember the earliest you can test. Is it 8dpo? X

WJK00 · 18/08/2021 20:48

@cockneysparra1 well it only takes one time 🤣 think earliest is 8DPO but not many get a positive that early! Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼

Flowerpot564 · 19/08/2021 09:31

a little update, got spotting this morning. Feeling crampy think my periods are coming sooner than I thought😞

Heartbrokenmama · 19/08/2021 15:05

@Flowerpot564 ugh I’m sorry, it’s such a letdown when you start to feel like maybe it’s not going to happen this cycle.. with my first pregnancy I remember feeling crampy and like I was about to get my period until like 6-7 weeks in so don’t give up!!

CameraCoffeeCrochet · 19/08/2021 15:56

well I caved in and did a test today, definitely negative but I've got my fingers crossed until AF comes at least.

I know😞 im so confused because my ovulation test was positive 6 days ago so was expecting my period next week sometime..

Are you sure it's not just implantation ? I had spotting with my daughter early on and twinges/cramping!
Cruz86 · 19/08/2021 19:49

Hey! I’m not actively TTC but equally not using any contraception either. Realised we DTD right around ovulation and, being completely obsessed with the TWW with my son 4 years ago, I’m all too familiar with symptom spotting 😂 I think I’m around 3/4 DPO because that’s when I got really bad ovulation cramps which is normal for me, so we’ll see! Although I did start spotting today so not sure what that’s about. I’ll read through the whole thread properly when little one is in bed ☺️ X

Flowerpot564 · 19/08/2021 19:54

@traveltheworld1986 really? its not heavy at all, not enough to fill a pad but it is bright red and looks like alot only when i wipe? I thought it might be too much for implantation..

Justanotherlondonmum · 19/08/2021 19:55

Hi all 👋 grabbing a seat and sitting on my hands in corner fighting the urge to test for at least the next 8 days....2 or 3dpo gaaahhhh!

Cruz86 · 19/08/2021 19:59

@Flowerpot564 do you normally get a bit of spotting mid cycle?

Oooo well fingers crossed, hope you get good news🤞🏻
SpaceLordMother · 19/08/2021 20:09

Hi all 👋 Joining in the TWW at 11dpo and trying to resist testing! I completely skipped my period last month, I think possibly due to the covid jab and spent a fortune on tests but they were mostly negative with one very faint positive which I assume was a false positive. This month I ovulated a week early so no idea when AF is due! I've bought some Superdrug tests as was so frustrated last month examining FRERs for the faintest of lines. Keeping fingers crossed for us all 🤞

So sorry to those of you who have experienced losses Thanks
