*The TWW States* 😬😂…. Here for positive vibes as we try to create new lives 👶🍼🤞… (Ttc #1 and cycle 1 continued)

Hello!

Continuation of our last thread…

All of us TTC and in different cycles and stages of our journey.

Helping eachother through the TWW, through the confusing days of OPK/BBT testing and charts, through all of the symptom spotting, the dreaded arrival of AF and the BFP announcements! 😊✨

January was a very lucky month for some who got their BFP and some of us are ready to make February our month!

With giggles and lots of support along the way.

Welcome!

Deffo nothing is TMI on here 😂 we’re all going through it together lol

@SMD16 Lyra is looking good after her Sunday dinner picture
CD14.. still flashy smile, last 2 months I had static by now.. wondering if the covid and extra bleeding has messed up for this month, I'll hold this morning and do a cheapie at lunch and see.
Hope everybody has a lovely week, WFH today... roll on time OH is home x

@RMS0209 it's mad isn't it that any illness/ sick bug can affect your monthly cycle! I 'should' be ovulating today and didn't a test yesterday but was low. Going to try hold until lunch too and do one. WFH for me too although I'm away tomorrow night for work so hoping we don't miss any windows!

What's everyone's tips for keeping a level head during this process?

@SMD16 fingers crossed we do O soon.. made me sad today.
Roll on lunch time testing! Fingers crossed no missing anything while away with work.

HA! Was going to ask the same, I had things planned for my 2WW this time but I need to O first so! X

@RMS0209 I didn’t peak until CD16 last cycle and the one before that was CD13 so hopefully you get your static in the next couple of days

Hurry up O!! @RMS0209 yes we still have the TWW too yet 😂 I wish I could be one of these people that just don't think of it at all and let nature take it's toll.

Oh so you didn't! That's made me feel a bit more "relaxed" shall we say.. what a stressful experience all this TTC is.. do not recommend 😂 @Newbiemg

@SMD16 don't worry least I'm the exact same as you! Stressville x

@Newbiemg it's strange how much it can vary isn't it!

@RMS0209 I don't know about you but I like to plan everything, need to get my head around the fact that there's only so much I can plan for with TTC 😂

@SMD16 if only it was as easy as it is in the movies, I said that the other day 😃
But we will still be optimistic... hopefully the next few days! Done my best to avoid covid since March 2020 but had to catch it when I'm TTC... grrr!

Is anybody testing today? Lots of luck for anybody who is 💫 x

Anyone had this happen? It didn't look like that earlier and doesn't look like it last month?

I can't shed any light on the BBT chart @SMD16, sorry! I hope someone can come along and shed some light for you.

I can however totally empathise with your need to plan. I have to actively work on being more go with the flow in all areas of my life, need to try to implement it for TTC too. I'm wondering if more yoga and some sort of mindfulness/meditation practice might help...

And love to see those beautiful pooch pics of Lyra and @Pops100 trio!

@RMS0209 I tested again this morning, FRER line a bit darker pink at 12 dpo than when I first tested at 10 dpo, I also got a light pink line on the easy@home pregnancy tests that come with the OPKs. I am cramping a bit more than I was before and I swear my period is coming though, due today. Going to stop testing for a few days and see if AF arrives and I was just really unlucky and got a bunch of evil evap/indents, or not.

@Bluets this is positive though if the line is darker? Want to share? I have everything crossed that AF stays away for you!!

@SMD16 I can't shed any light on the chart
Maybe @lakejupiter or @Newbiemg ?

@Bluets good to hear the pink line, send a picture in if you would like.. be nice to see

@SMD16 sorry I have no idea with bbt , am going to start tracking after next cycle though!

@Bluets fingers crossed for you🤞🏼🤞🏼 but sounds like your af won't be arriving for a long time! Xx

Thanks everyone for your positivity! The cramping is really throwing me off and I just don't want to believe it could be true in case it's not, some really messed up thinking 😂

Pictures taken at the end of the 3 minute and 5 minute respectively. Still not particularly dark but I think I can see the difference

@Bluets I'm going to say congrats, can see the pink line getting darker on FRER 🎉 🎊 x

@Bluets that looks good! Congratulations lovely please keep us updated if you can on your journey ✨

Dreaded AF showed up a day early 😒, hope she doesn't linger and I can get back to OPK and BD!!

Congratulations @Bluets that's so exciting!!!! Definitely a BFP!!! 🤗

Is that a BBT chart @SMD16? I can't see temperatures or anything so not sure, but for BBT I find it easier to use either Fertility Friend or Femometer

Sorry about AF @Pops100 - does that put a spanner in the works re: your partner's treatment and TTC?

I'm hanging on over here. More medium rare OPKs and more flashing smileys. On CD15 so on high alert for my peak 👀 really want to inseminate on either peak day or ovulation day this month as I was so disappointed about ovulating late last month.

@lakejupiter can you send me todays OPK cheapie? I want to compare to mine.. think I'm broken :)

Here you go @RMS0209 (imagine me dressed as a butler revealing this below one of those big silver domes)

@lakejupiter it may do , but his treatment starts 21st and then I'm predicted to ovulate on 20th so this cycle all should be okay ... hopefully!

They said symptoms will probs affect him around week 3 but he is getting his swimmers frozen before that.

Has anyone got experience with taking evening primrose oil? I'm about to buy some from Amazon but was told to stop taking it before my peak? I'm worried I'll take it when I Shouldnt 🥺🥺

@lakejupiter it's just on the home page of Premom, no idea what the chart is for it's just quick for me to say DPO etc lol.

@Bluets that line progression 😍😍😍 the cramping could be anything hun it could be everything making more room for the little bean to grow!

@Pops100 I haven't sorry, I'm not great at remembering to take anything 😂 wishing you lots of luck for this cycle x

@lakejupiter

Here you go *@RMS0209* (imagine me dressed as a butler revealing this below one of those big silver domes)

Haha my hero! Thank you. Just holding until 12 then I will do one x

Premom said this mornings on (just 5 mins ago) is 0.12... that isn't good for CD14 surly? I had higher last week! It's such a faint line aswell

I haven't drank or pee'd since 8am 😟😢
