Hi, can I join? TWW TTC #1 but unsure when I ovulated or even if I did as I stopped tracking. Came off the pill after 15 year back around April/May and I did use cheap OPKs to begin with but they never showed anything and I got tired of checked. Started a new job recently and decided to wait till Christmas to start actively trying again but the other day I felt randomly really nauseous and dizzy with hot and cold flushes, acne, fatigue, constipation and diarrhea. I've been very emotional too and had the odd cramp but I thought nothing of it as forgot when/if we DTD during my fertile period and I had a small glass of wine... feeling really crappy about it now because I should have tracked my cycle at least!

Anyway sorry for the long post, I really hope the odd symptoms I've been feeling are 'it' as but I just can't tell! AF due next weekend... Good luck ladies!

Does anyone mind me joining? I’m month 15, but have long cycles so prob cycle 12 now. Have joined a few groups but ended up peeling away as everyone conceived. I have a dd who is 5, conceived on cycle 4. I think I likely have PCOS and have endometriosis. We are seeing a fertility consultant in November with scan and more bloods (21 day bloods we’re ok though not super high, semen analysis normal). I worked as a frontline doctor through Covid and my DH thinks the stress is partly to blame. I tried it obsess less and took time off from OPK and temping (which I’m terrible at as my sleep routine isn’t consistent with shifts). Starter OPKs again this month anc think I’ve peaked earlier than I expected. What do people think? I definitely think this shows something

So the tiny pricks I felt yesterday followed by a bit of pink CM. I've now woken up with slightly sensitive breasts (more so on the left side which is the same side I had the small pricks on weirdly). I know I shouldn't test until at least Wednesday because nothing will show until then and I'm meant to be going to a family event tonight where alcohol is involved! Arghhh

Morning all,

Update from me- AF arrived last night :( really read into the signs this time but it wasn't meant to be!!

Hope everyone has a good day x

Ooh does sound promising!!

Can you not do an early test today or would that be the early one on Wednesday too? X

Sorry to hear this my lovely, sending you BD for next cycle x

winkles23 · 04/10/2021 11:11

@Prettyflowers6 so I caved and did a test, bfn!

Mummybearto3bg · 04/10/2021 11:32

@winkles23 how many days p/o/period due? I'm 11dpo but period not due til next and also got a bfn :(

winkles23 · 04/10/2021 11:38

@Mummybearto3bg 11dpo and 4 days until AF is due had a bit more spotting this morning too.. very confused x

Squinters assemble.... can you see anything? My eyes keep tricking me I can but i think its just an indent line on the test and want a second opinion as my tired post night shift eyes can't cope. AF is 2 days late. Sore boobs, nausea has been going on for about a week on and off.

I can't quite make out a line.. have you tried inverting the picture? x

Nico89 · 04/10/2021 11:52

I couldn't work out how to do that. I don't think there is a line I think its an indent and evaporation and its playing tricks on me x

JellyTots2021 · 04/10/2021 11:52

@winkles23 @Mummybearto3bg sorry to hear about the BFN's. Hopefully just too early to test?

My cycle is quite long so shouldn't really test until Thursday but feeling very emotional and impatient today.

Mummybearto3bg · 04/10/2021 12:57

Hopefully it's too early but I'm not feeling it this month. It's ok though! Good luck to everyone else hoping for bfp!

HRHXO · 04/10/2021 21:07

Hi all, how are we this evening? I think I'm going mad! Since last week I've been having some symptoms and as we haven't been trying this month I hadn't even considered pregnancy but wheb OH mentioned it I obviously thought it could be the case so hopped back on my apps. I logged some symptoms on Ovia and my period was originally predicted for 9th October but since I logged my symptoms my AF due date is the same but now Ovia thinks I'm at peak fertility?! I did a cheap OPK the other day but it was negative. Wondering if the Covid jab has effected my cycle?? I thought I was about 10 or 11 dpo but now I have no idea and feel disheartened...

JellyTots2021 · 04/10/2021 22:36

@HRHXO climbing the walls! Got to wait until Wednesday to early test and it seems ages away!

I heard the jab makes the cycle a bit later.

HRHXO · 05/10/2021 07:55

@JellyTots2021 ah I was the same but decided to test this morning using frer fmu but bfn not even a sniff of a line to see so pretty gutted. Af due Friday or Saturday but I think I'm probably out now...

JellyTots2021 · 05/10/2021 11:03

@HRHXO sorry to hear that sending you good wishes for next cycle.

I know it's too early, AF not due until next week Tuesday, but early testing kits were on special offer so of course I went for it and got BFN.

Finding this TWW a bit too much. This is the first and last cycle that I let myself symptom spot as the past few days have been so stressful no doubt I've given myself symptoms 😅

SuperstitiousMagpie · 05/10/2021 12:39

@Mummybearto3bg

Good luck *@winkles23 @SuperstitiousMagpie @BoyMum18* :)

Thank you! Caved and POAS this morning - I think it's a very faint positive (I'm 8dpo so amazed to see anything). Feeling every single emotion going I think!

JellyTots2021 · 05/10/2021 13:18

Little not so great update: I think I'm going through a chemical pregnancy atm unfortunately. So just going to ride this one out and try again next cycle. Going to keep my fingers crossed for the rest of you xx

Mummybearto3bg · 06/10/2021 10:25

@winkles23 sorry to hear that.
Pretty sure I'm out. Negative frer this morning, period due on sun/Mon so I'm sure I'm out now too. Keep going
