Testing this week/tww 18th- 26th October

[Peonies94]

Anyone testing this week between the 18th or 26th October? It’s my 2nd cycle ( first where I’ve tracked ovulation) ttc first child. Im trying to avoid temptation to test too soon! I’m currently 5 or 6 DPO and hoping to wait until Thursday where I’ll be at least 9 DPO.

I’ve been having cramps too! I had them 7 DPO. But I didn’t really have anything yesterday. Tested today 8DPO and it was negative.

@whymewhyme wishing you all the best. Thinking I will start testing this Saturday at 9/10dpo

Hi,
I'm currently on TWW, should be testing Sunday although might try and hold on a day or two if I can! First cycle trying to conceive baby number 1 :)

Morning all 6DPO today and haven’t noticed any symptoms, mind you I am so sure it won’t happen this month that I haven’t really been looking for them anyway! I have noticed some tiny little whiteheads scattered over my décolletage, which is usually what happens before a period. But at 6DPO would my body even know there was a fertilised egg yet? Who knows. I didn’t get them last month (chemical pregnancy).

Will test on Saturday but won’t be wasting a FRER

Good luck everyone

Sorry, I do sound grumpy don’t I! It’s been a tough couple of weeks at work and this weather isn’t helping.

?!?!? The whiteheads, I have them too! How strange. Never had anything like that before and woke up yesterday morning to 3-4 whiteheads appearing just on my collarbone…..

Wow 11 dpo😁 After 2 years and 3 miscarriages 🤞

Wow @MrsBridge that’s a very strong line!!!

@MrsBridge congratulations!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

@MrsBridge congratulations! Amazing news

Nausea is back today 7dpo plus backache and cramps (I’ve had both since ovulation) and now a stuffy nose but weirdly not a cold. I really want to be BFP but I’ve never felt like this before ever. My husband is convinced we are BFP which makes me feel more nervous. He’s taken to joking it’s twins 🤦‍♀️

Hi,
I'm 5 dpo!
This is cycle 1 of ttc 1st baby.
It might be all in my head but I've been vomiting/feeling nauseous since 2:30 this morning and my boobs feel really tender. I know my body may just be settling after coming off contraception but I feel very odd.

13dpo and nothing but BFN’s but feel really nauseous tonight.. xx

@chloeannw I’m in the same boat. It’s so hard being first cycle off birth control. You open the apps to track and it’s like what’s your cycle? Idk how long is a piece of string 🤷‍♀️. There’s very little to go off. I’m getting weird symptoms but I just don’t know. I have a daughter but it was an unplanned pregnancy and we didn’t know until sickness at week 6. This is week 3 so I’m really wondering if it’s the birth control come down. Good luck to you this month! 🤞

Yay MrsBridge 😍 joining - cycle 2 of trying and either 8 or 9 dpo today, due on Monday. So my friend told me she knew she was pregnant before she tested as she showed a faint line on ovulation tests for a few days. I started using these this month and I see a very faint line today (nowhere near the one on ovulation) so not sure if this means anything. not really had any symptoms other than wind 😆 anyone had any other symptoms x

Well ladies I am out this month 😭 AF has arrived this morning. I even had a couple of very faint tests yesterday so I had got my hopes up 😞 Good luck everyone else.

Congratulations MrsBridge!! xx

I know, it's hard to know where to start tracking really.
I've been super hormonal and my boobs are huge

Morning everyone…. Think I’m going mad and need someone sensible to set me right ! So hard not being able to talk to family about this ! I know we could but don’t want to upset my mum if something didn’t go right!

So, this morning I am 8dpo (I think). I didn’t plan to start testing till 10dpo. But I totally caved and couldn’t hold any longer and tested with a Premom hcg strip this morning with FMU. I didn’t expect anything and know it’s much to early.

So I’ve just looked at the strip again and I am convinced I can see the faintest of lines forming?!?!? Am I going mad ??

That's loud and clear to me! After how many minutes did you take that photo?

@Decaffe I’m not sure- I went and made a cup of tea then looked at it again (with the intention of throwing it in the bin and scolding myself for testing too early lol!)

Maybe 10-15 mins. I know there is a risk that it’s probably an invalid result because it was left longer than 5 minutes. Just can’t stop thinking about it now.

Will test again in the morning. Got some FRER tests arriving from Amazon today

@Yayay30 I also have some Amazon FRERs arriving today! They must make a fortune out of us 😂

I’m only 8DPO but for some reason did a FRER this morning, it had a reeeeally faint line. Then I realised I had a test in my drawer that expired today (quite the coincidence!) So I did it and it was negative 😕

It’s so hard to photograph but I could swear the first one has some pink to the very faint line…

@Decaffe … I got a good deal (£6 for pack of 2 FRER) but yea, not cheap!

I can see something on the top test (in the pic with two)… I wouldn’t trust an expired test at all.

Will test again tomorrow morning and see what happens —omg this is crazy. Fingers crossed for you! First time ttc ?

I see something on both your tests @Yayay30 and @Decaffe

I’m about 11DPO today and trying not to test until Sunday so I’ll hopefully know either way. I feel like I’ve got some symptoms and I’m very crampy but it could all just be because AF is coming.

@Moonshine160 wishing you lots of luck on Sunday - can’t wait to see what the next few days has in store for us!

Never wanted a weekend to end so quickly in my life haha!

Love how everyone here stays sane through this and supports each other. It’s so uplifting in a challenging time. @Yayay30 and @Moonshine160 I’m around that time too. Dpo9 today (keep testing bc I’m clearly insane and it’s bfn) but symptoms come and go and I had none until week 6-7 with first child, so guessing this is post pill hormones and I’ll be af whenever that even comes. Who knows though. Fingers crossed for everyone!! Thanks for keeping my spirits up and my crazy in check!
