Anyone testing around April 19th? My 2ww is just starting.

[GoT1904]

Hi all! I'm currently 1dpo.. so officially in the last stage of this cycle! I should be due AF around April 19th, which happens to be my birthday! So I'm going to try really hard not to test until then. Anyone else around the same?!

Sorry for the BFN @PositivelyPrehistoricMom! That sucks 😞

Aw try not to worry @PositivelyPrehistoricMom, the window of implantation is 6-12dpo, so you're in no way out yet xx

Sorry to hear of those with negative tests so far, AF isn't here yet, so you're still in for now!! xx

I've been having horrible waves of nausea last night and then again this morning and I feel exhausted and very emotional. I am actually going to take a COVID test soon (just waiting 30 minutes as I had a hot drink earlier), as I feel it's probably more likely that than pregnancy symptoms - surely 7dpoish would be far too early for sickness?!

@MrsGrealish- In what way are you feeling bad? Just wondering if any of our symptoms are similar.

@GoT1904 I'm in Cambridgeshire

Morning all, can I join? I'm somewhere around 10/11DPO, had a peak ov test on 30th March, had spotting mid last week, negative test this morning but period not due til next Monday, have a 36ish day cycle.

Trying not to be disheartened by the negative test this morning, it's still early, I got really excited when I had spotting last week because I never spot, last time I did I was pregnant that month. Going to do a FRER later in the week!

@GeraniumCedarwood it's not like nausea more food aversions. It's strange I'll be hungry and sit down to eat and just not be able to eat.

My boobs have gone from pms sore to a bruised sore at the side if that makes any sense and I wanted to sleep at half 8 last night. Kept myself up though. Very weird at the most 8dpo but more like 7dpo

@GeraniumCedarwood how did the covid test go? I had it beginning of February and it doesn't feel like this.

@MrsGrealish-- I don't have Covid according to the lateral flow! I have this post-nasal drip thing; maybe that's related to my nausea? I had food aversion last night and could not eat the dinner DH had cooked for me. I force-fed myself some broccoli and cauliflower and then had a piece of toast with jam. Have you managed to eat anything? I know I need to get lunch but not sure what to have.

My boobs are only sore if I touch the... I can get boob pain pre-period, though. My nipples had this kind of "bolt of lightning" stingy feeling the last few days, which is odd, but that has not happened today.

@GeraniumCedarwood I sat down to eat lunch there brought tomato soup to work can't face it🤢 drinking tea and someone brought in home made buns which I'm nibbling

I feel your pain! DH made me dinner yesterday pie and roast potatoes 2 bites I was done. Felt kinda bad for him😕

No cramping at all today. 🤷‍♀️

@GeraniumCedarwood @MrsGrealish sorry you are not feeling well, but hopefully your food aversion is a good sign, I really hope for you! 🤞

@Graceybaby try not too worry, I haven't felt implantation the two times I've been pregnant, and no symptom at all before 11dpo.

@dinoparadise welcome! I hope your spotting last week was a good sign! 🤞

I still have some intermittent cramping, but nothing else... It seems so long 😩

Ooooooo some promising symptoms going on here!! I don't have any really, lol. Had a few crampy twinges, but think it's cos I'm looking for them really. My boobs are not hurting whatsoever today, I've got energy and not feeling anything really lol. I'm gonna try not test tomorrow and then do 9dpo, 11dpo, 13dpo. But in reality I'm probably gonna do tomorrow, 9dpo, 10dpo and 11dpo lol. I need to order some cheapies really! Xx

@ArcEnCiel2022 Thank you 😊 That makes me feel better!

Same here, intermittent cramps and weird sensations here and there but they've been coming and going all day! Just not reading into anything ATM.. if AF doesn't arrive before the end of the week I will test 🤞😊

Worse case scenario I get to have a big glass of wine at the end of the week! 😅

Hi everyone. I'm just starting the ttw and am 1DPO, so will start testing at 9DPO which is 19th April 🥰 got a peak OPK on Saturday and dtd twice early on Sunday morning so I'm hoping that's enough! Readings are low again this morning so I think the window is now shut!

@Graceybaby it's good to see it like that! 😂🍷

Hi @lettyloulou welcome in the TWW!

I'm changing my mind all the time about when to test 😅 now I'm thinking that I might wait Thursday (11dpo) if I manage: I was checking my app and noticed that the 3 last cycles I started to get some spotting pre-AF at 10/11 dpo, and then AF 2-3 days later. Never had that before miscarriage, I wonder if that happened to someone else and if it's something to worry about?
Anyway, I'm thinking 10dpo is on Wednesday, so I will try to wait and see. If I don't have any spotting by then I'll test on Thursday, if I do I will just wait for AF. That way I won't waste too many tests and can keep them for next month 😅

Welcome @lettyloulou! What cycle are you on? Good luck 🤞😃 xxxxx

@Graceybaby

Welcome *@lettyloulou*! What cycle are you on? Good luck 🤞😃 xxxxx

Thank you ☺️ we were casually ttc for 18 months for baby number 1. Got a bfp then miscarried at 6+4. That was April 2021. Have just decided to focus on trying again now I'm over the horror of that so this is cycle 1 of attempt 2. I haven't used OPKs before so I feel more in control now!

@lettyloulou so sorry to hear that, god that must have been so hard, I have everything crossed for you ❤️

Do you mind me asking how old you are?
I'm 32 (33 in July) and trying for baby #2 🙂

Xxxx

Hi everyone sorry I've been quiet ☺️ I hope everyone is okay!

Sorry for your loss @lettyloulou ❤️

I joined this thread as AF is due for me on 16/04, I'm 9DPO and had a BFN this morning and trying not to feel sad about it. I keep telling myself it's probably still early and it's only cycle 1 of TTC for me!

Getting cramps but think this might just be AF on her way early 😫

Hi all! Is it alright if I join?
I’m half way through the TWW, 7dpo today and it couldn’t be going any slower lol!
Not many symptoms really, nipples are very sensitive but not sore as such, had some twinges in my left back and and lower abdomen both today and yesterday (trying not to give hopes up too much because i know how my mind plays tricks on me haha).
Weirdest one for me which I don’t normally get is very vivid dreams! One of them I dreamt that my cousins were telling me I was pregnant and they were excited to meet the baby! So weird! Woke up confused as to where I was because it felt so real!

@Graceybaby I'm 31 but 32 a week tomorrow :D

Yay @Sillysha31 you're the same DPO as me!

I'm getting funny feelings in my pelvic area this evening. I really hope it's something, I can't describe the feeling. Xx

Hey everyone! Sending lots of baby dust your ways!

I hope you don’t mind me jumping on.. I was hoping to contribute to the convo once I’m at least 7/8DPO but I wanted to ask if anyone can relate to this!

I’m pretty sure I ovulated today according to OPK’s and my Flo app. I have a shorter cycle (24/25 days) and ovulate CD11 usually (which is the case today!)

But it’s the first time tracking my EWCM. I woke up this morning with creamy consistency and then had about 4/5 hours of EWCM and since 8.30pm tonight it’s been creamy again!

Is this a good indication that ovulation happened today and is that a very short period of time to have EWCM?

Any help would be great thanks!

@GoT1904

Aw try not to worry *@PositivelyPrehistoricMom*, the window of implantation is 6-12dpo, so you're in no way out yet xx

So tonight, husband has made fajitas for tea. I’ve managed to eat two but I’ve felt nauseous all the way through.

Of course it could be that DD has just coughed so much phlegm up she’s also made herself sick (just a little bit not a full on vom session - she’s full of a cold) so that could be making me feel a bit icky. No food for me now as just the thought is making me queasy.

@GoT1904 that sounds promising! Sending you lots of baby dust😊

@PositivelyPrehistoricMom sounds like the same bug has hit your home as it did mine last week. Sending best wishes for her to get better soon xx hopefully the queasy feeling is a good sign though!🤞

@Hjudge56 that's really interesting. What have your OPK's said today?

The thing with EWCM.. I was of the impression that it lasted a few days, so that when the egg is hanging around the sperm can get there.

Thank you @Sillysha31! I really hope so. I guess we will see soon xxx

@GoT1904 I’m guessing my peak was later afternoon/ evening yesterday as my test line was pretty dark afternoon yesterday but when I tested about 11am today it had started to lighten again so think I missed my surge overnight!

I didn’t know if having a shorter cycle could impact EWCM!
