Hi all. Currently in the TWW and if we conceive this cycle bubba will be arriving in October! Anyone want to join in symptom spotting and testing 😊?

@Tandabear can I ask how long you've been TTC?

Let's pray she doesn't turn up and you go on to a healthy pregnancy! ❤️

@Tandabear I'm on cycle 5 TTC #1. Starting to lose hope and feeling down about the whole thing.

Mariabombia · 19/01/2022 15:42

@ttcbabya it really is! I've found the process so far very emotionally draining so it's really nice to be able to talk to people that are in a similar position!

Oh my , Im very jealous!!! That will be lush. Have a great time and do what you can to switch off from ttc, will be great to just relax :) Have you looked into the maleria tablet situation? It might be absolutely fine.

I'm 31, how about you?

So even though I got a static on CB advanced this morning , the easy@home sticks are saying I'm only 0.64 which the app has read as low. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm confused :/ surely it should be high

Mariabombia · 19/01/2022 15:44

@Miracle22 so if you carry on testing after ovulation and it doesn't remain dark does that generally mean you're probably not pregnant?

Only asking because I'm thinking of doing opks throughout my cycle so just wondering if I'll know early on whether this months been successful 😬

HellsBellsK · 19/01/2022 15:59

Hi all,

Can I join? I am 8DPO.
No really signs at all my be AF like pains.. But may be I always get them.

This is cycle 2 trying for #3.
I was 5 days late on cycle 1 thought I was 100% pregnant. Went off tea, was very tired etc. Gave in a tested and negative then about 3 minutes later my period arrived.
I am probably the only one who never tests early... I have had a few chemical pregnancies when trying for #1 & 2 so I like to wait until I am a few days late. But last cycle was a bit much never usually wait that long!
Think AF was late because I got my booster in the middle of my cycle.

@Sunrise321 oh I'm so happy to speak to someone else in the same position! I feel like everyone is either on their first cycle or been TTC for years. How old are you if you don't mind me asking?

@Tandabear That fills me with hope! Do you recall doing anything different on that lucky cycle 6?!

@Mariabombia I only use the CB digitals - I tried to use the cheapies but they never really aligned or maybe I wasn't interpreting it right, so I'm no help.

Well with the malaria tablets it says that you shouldn't take them if you are pregnant or ttc as there's a chance baby could have deformities etc. It's a horrible situation because I want to go on to have a healthy pregnancy but I also want to enjoy my time away. Of course this is wishful thinking as who's to say this is my lucky cycle. I keep feeling like this will never happen, ugh.
I know people have been trying longer so still early days for me but yeah, will try not to overthink it and just enjoy my time away.

I'm 28 xx

frenchie4002 · 19/01/2022 18:10

Sorry to hear that @Miracle22 xx
Re the clear blue digitals - can anyone offer some insight? If I had static smiley on the 16th does this mean ovulation could happen up to 36 hours later?

Miracle22 · 19/01/2022 19:18

@Mariabombia most probably, yes. Why do you wanna do OPKs throughout your cycle though?

Miracle22 · 19/01/2022 19:20

@mummytorm @Tandabear
I got an ultrasound and hcg done today. Turns out it was a biochemical pregnancy.
Will be joining the game once I am done with AF. Still hoping for an October due date.

I am loving reading everyone’s comments and praying for us all to get BFPs this cycle. Mine turned out to be biochemical but frankly we weren’t really trying this cycle it just happened to be the O-day for me, but I am still hoping for an Oct end baby bcuz I will be actively in the game now.

Anyway, sending babydust to everyone here @frenchie4002 @mummytorm @IslandGirl27 @Mariabombia @Tandabear @ttcbabya @HellsBellsK @Sunrise321 @Mikalika @Lizzlekicks @SunnySideUp2020 @Cruz86 @Holly3 @mooonbaby @TradedAtlanta

I hope I didn’t miss out anyone.

Holly3 · 19/01/2022 19:34

Sorry to hear that @Miracle22 I hope you're okay ❤️

I've had a weird day of on and off cramps and some shooting pains in my boobs but not sure if I'm just over thinking things! I don't normally get period pains before I'm due on they actually come the day after so I'm confused now X

Thank you @Tandabear :) first time using these after recovering from a mmc so want to make sure I’m doing everything right!
Thank you @Miracle22 fingers crossed for a sticky bean soon for you x

Holly3 · 19/01/2022 19:39

@Tandabear To be honest I'm not sure if 5DPO or more I had static smiley but we had DTD a few days beforehand too and the cheap tests were showing positive then too 🤞🏼 xxx
