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 😊?

Thanks @Cruz86 , @Tandabear & @Coffeeandcupcake yes clear as mud 🤣 I think I understand ttc & then something else confuses me.

Here's my opks. So it looks like peak yesterday and O today ? Although I am a little worried peak could have been Monday in the middle of night & didn't dtd until Tuesday evening so could have missed the window with that. Does it have to be that accurate ??🤣 if so how's anyone to make a baby if they both work full time haha

Please can I join this thread. TTC #2, have a DS aged 19 months. Been trying for a few cycles now, used Clear Blue Advanced Digital OPKs for the first time this cycle but don’t think I DTD enough still as had terrible cold on day of peak! 4 dpo today.

@Holly3 If it's not heavy and it's not normal for you I would take it as a possible symptom. Absolutely no idea about the opks sorry 😩 I barely understand them myself. Had peak yesterday and DTD last night so god knows if I've already ovulated or not.

@mummytorm I'm possibly overthinking everything! But I feel different I'm normally so snappy just before AF and irritable but I've been fine and I always come on during the night too as it wakes me every time. I haven't had to change pad today or anything it's coming when I wee so I'm confused but trying to not think about it 🥴 wish it was straight forward 🤪 oh fingers crossed 🤞🏼🤞🏼 xxx

@Holly3 when are you going to test? All sounds promising to me

I'm going to try my best to wait until Monday/Tuesday if I can. I'll see how I go with the flow of this as if it gets heavier I won't test, I'll use pads if it does. Once you start TTC it just becomes all consuming doesn't it 😩

Yes. I find the beginning of the cycle stressful because you are testing to find out ovulation and once you get your peak it's like you want to start POAS the next day 😂😂😂. I'm 1DPO so I'm going craaaazy. I'll see how I feel in a week a go from there.

@mummytorm 🤣🤣 yes to this! Would help so much if it showed straight away wouldn't it. Even if this is AF I'd rather just know and rather her not be mucking around changing symptoms from the norm 🤪 the headache isn't shifting xx

@Mariabombia Looking at those sticks (rather than what the app says) I would have said Monday and Tuesday you were high and then yesterday you were about to peak (very high) and today is peak. I say that because for it it peak I believe the line should be as dark or darker than the control line, and your tests on the 19th are sligtly lighter than the test line, whereas today the line is actually darker than the test line. I don't use the mom app that does this for you, I just read my own sticks. I wonder if that would be better for you as I think the app has misjudged your sticks. Have you had ovulation pain today? Id dtd tonight if you can

@mummytorm Possibly think I'm out and it's AF. Although not losing much with just a pad on when I actually go to the loo I'm losing some small clots I'm so confused that I had a static smiley last week and also different AF symptoms than usual X

@Holly3 sorry to hear that! Hope next month is the one! X

Thanks for your advice @Coffeeandcupcake ! When are you thinking of testing :)? How you feeling about your first cycle so far?

I tested this evening and it's even darker/higher number ! So I think you're right, I think I must be peaking tonight. It makes it more confusing because I was also doing the CB advanced sticks 🤦‍♀️ & I got a static yesterday but stopped doing them after the static.

Anyway I'll just have to dtd tonight to cover all bases :p

Yeah a bit, it's more like a stitch ache but in an ovary for me haha .

Sorry to hear that @Holly3 , hope you're okay
Xx

Thank you 😊 it's definitely AF I'm just so confused about the positive OPK I'm just going to start testing as soon as I'm off AF and see what happens. Sending baby dust to you all xx

Hello ladies...anyone having sleepless nights? Usually I'm staying up for my one year old but lately she is sleeping but my eyes are wide open...

@Pol29 my 2 year old has me up all the time with her coughing. It feels like it's been constant since October.

I have a feeling I've not ovulated this month. Frustrating. I don't think I'm even going to get to the 2WW this month.

My spotting has stopped after 2 days and remained brown! Cheapie still bfn but did a FRER this morning and the faintest of lines, in certain lights, is there. Not sure if I'm just going crazy tbh!

@Tandabear Thank you ☺️ Yes definitely and I may start taking my temp too just to match up if it seems right. Also DTD more I've told DP no on call work this month 🤣

@Tigerlilyxx do you have a pic of the frer?

@Tandabear I am obsessed too I end up on a thread then another thread reading into it all 😄 he's completely oblivious he just nods along they just don't get it do they. As soon as I mentioned taking my temp he looked completely lost he thinks I've lost it I'm sure 🤣 I'm also now worried that I may have a short luteal phase xx
