I’ve probably missed some 😬
Help a girl out and add anyone I’ve missed pls! 🙌🏻

Hope you're all ok :) my period is still not here but symptoms that I was having have now gone and tests are negative (including frer) so I'm even more certain now. How long should I give it before I go to the doctors? Xx

Hey, had the weekend off but I've just read through and caught up. Sorry to hear there have been a few BFNs 😞

I'm supposed to have entered the first day of my fertile period according to Flo and Premom but Ovia and Fitbit both say this starts tomorrow or Tuesday and OPKs have been negative 🙃 we DTD this morning anyway lol.

Most of you seem further along than me is there anyone at the start of their fertile week?

Hey @HRHXO I’ve just nearly finished my fertile week I think I ovulated yesterday so am only 1dpo so I’m not that far ahead of you

Can I ask a question about CM? I’m really sorry if this is TMI!

Should you get clear, slightly sticky CM after ovulation?

I’ve never really paid attention before TTC, so have no idea what is normal or what happens during the different stages!

I’m testing tomorrow morning 12dpo xxx

@Firsttimetrier, I'd say there's a broad range of normal for CM post-ovulation, so yours sounds totally fine to me. You may find it disappears completely or becomes creamy later in your TWW.

However, I'm having a completely confusing cycle with my cm and cervical position so my confidence in interpreting cm has taken a hit! 🤣

Good luck @Elsols93! All fingers crossed for you!

Good luck @Elsols93. I'm also 12 ish DPO tomorrow.

@Shortmamashortcycles thank you! I’ve never paid attention but it’s so similar to EWCM that it’s thrown me off.

Thanks ladies! I can’t resist the urge now 12dpo would more then likely show up on a early I’m thinking? Manifesting the BFP 😊 who’s next to test? Xx

Sending lots of luck for tomorrow @Elsols93 🍀🍀

@Firsttimetrier, if it helps, I'm having random occurrences of ewcm most days even though I was pretty sure I ovulated 4-5 days ago. Really not usual for me so 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️.

Is yours stretchy or just clear?

I took a cheapie today and the line appeared after it was supposed to, so I guess this doesn't mean anything still. But my period is still a no show ... will see tomorrow.

I'll probably get a few more tests that I can take if AF doesn't show her face in the next few days.

It's probably false positive again, so I'm not getting my hopes up. And it's veeeery faint.

@Shortmamashortcycles I think I’m roughly DPO4-6, I had a flashy smileys on CB but then ran out of sticks, so not 100% sure. Had ovulation pain on the Monday when I had my last flashy smiley.

It’s a mixture as it’s mainly clear but then had a big bit that was stretchy. Really sorry TMI.

@lilrosemarie fingers crossed for you!

@Firsttimetrier, I'm exactly the same in terms of DPO and no such thing as TMI here! I've been getting random bits of stretchy cm every so often, but way less than I had on Monday, and the rest of the time it's just creamy or sticky.

Honestly I fell down a google hole today and there are no clear answers - anything from signalling an anovulatory cycle, to BFP, to normal and random. Going to DTD tonight just in case (haven't since Monday, annoyingly) and see what happens the week after next. Ugh, bodies!

Best of luck to the folks testing tomorrow, hope we have some BFPs to celebrate!

Good luck @Elsols93!

I can definitely see a line @lilrosemarie. Fingers crossed for you.

Does anyone here have spotting in between ovulation and af? I get it every month and I've just had some today at 6dpo, so think I'm out this cycle and need to take a trip to the drs 😩

Hi everyone,

Hope you’re all doing okay and the TWW is going quickly for those of you in it!

AF arrived on Thursday at 13dpo and I didn’t do a pregnancy test this cycle so just assumed I’d not been lucky this month but this period is so different to all my previous ones. It’s been consistently a more heavy flow while I usually just have 1 day of heavy flow on the second day, and I’ve had cramps every day since Thursday which is very unusual for me. I usually have them on the second day of my period when AF is at its heaviest. Usually by now my period would be stopping but it’s still pretty much there today. So I started googling, which I know is never a good idea 😂 and I was reading up on early miscarriages. Obviously I won’t ever know if I’m miscarrying as I didn’t do a test, but has anyone else experienced anything similar? Not sure if I’m just feeling sorry for myself after 4 days of cramps 😭😂 xx

I'm back after thinking I had done it.

I got a positive pregnancy test last week - genuinely experienced real pregnancy feelings - the same as my previous two pregnancies.

This afternoon I started bleeding which has got heavier and I have taken a negative test.

Was I never pregnant to begin with despite the positive test on FRER ?

10dpo and having a few stomach cramps, hoping it’s implantation cramps but more than likely just gearing up for AF xx

@Nailingnow, oh love, I'm so sorry. Yes - you had a positive pregnancy test, so yes, you were pregnant. But for whatever reason, it wasn't able to continue. I'm so sorry you're back here, and please look after yourself - however you feel right now is completely valid. Sending you lots of love ❤

@Nailingnow so so sorry 😢 hope you’re ok, sending hugs xx

@Nailingnow I'm so sorry. Chemicals and early miscarriages are so hard. I had two, two and a half years ago and remember how gut-wrenching it is. Thinking of you

Thank you so much - it means a lot. My husband seems to think I mis read the pregnancy test and doesn't seem to get it.

You guys saying those nice things is really appreciated
