Officially in the TWW
3dpo

CM starting to go creamy now, this is the worst part now! AF due on 17th June

Had sex only on day of and day after ovulation as we weren't going to try this month but decided to just take it a bit more chilled!

@Tropicana1 yep, I always do at least 15 seconds. I got a peak on them last month but hardly anything this month. I have been pregnant 3 times using CB so I know they work but I have felt so deflated this month. That Easy@Home has made me feel much better!

Tropicana1 · 08/06/2022 17:06

So strange! Maybe a really dodgy batch?! Probably why they're so cheap I guess!

It always drags for me!! Im very impatient and end up always symptom spotting. Still have swollen and sensitive boobs but could be normal period symptoms as had this last month but with no period and many many negative tests.

My cramps have finally stopped had 6 days of them.

I'm day 7, ive not had hot flushes before only when my period is due. Ive had two babies and both symptoms leading up to a positive were different so cant symptom spot now as I know each pregnancy is different.

Everyone is different maybe this is your pregnancy symptoms. I try not to compare mine to others are everyone is different. Some people feel sick a week after getting pregnant some people take months to feel sick.

Hi can I join?? Second month of TTC, currently 9dpo this month only managed to do it once in fertile window so thought I was out! However 6 &7dpo had lower back pain and weird dull ache in lower abdo, then yday out of the blue got heartburn which I never get! So yday (8dpo) did a test late after noon and was a vvvvv faint line! didn't get chance to do one this morn from fmu due to work but did one an hour after and was still vvvv faint! holding my wee for four hours for hopefully a stronger positive 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽just feels super early so not got hopes up

Tropicana1 · 09/06/2022 15:18

Ooh sounds promising @lollyx96
Do you have a line picture? I love squinting at them 😂

lollyx96 · 09/06/2022 15:34

@Tropicana1 I have ydays!! This is defo a squinter 🤣🤣🤣

I can see the line! Its making me want to test early but must resist as pregnancy tests are too expensive. Fingers crossed a stronger line tomorrow morning!

Tropicana1 · 09/06/2022 15:58

@lollyx96 ooh yes I can see it too!

lollyx96 · 09/06/2022 16:03

@Littleonek I know what you mean!! Luckily I work somewhere with easy access to free pregnancy tests else I wouldn't have bothered that early on! When are you testing??

Sunday I am 10dpo so might try then. But with my two daughters I tested too early and thought I wasn't pregnant and a week after my period was due and was positive. And as I thought I wasn't pregnant I purchased expensive things as I was not trying for a baby at the time eg I got a new sofa. If I knew I was pregnant I wouldn't got them. So learnt my lesson not accept a test unless peirod is a week late as I don't show as positive until much later. Could be due to my pcos. As this would be my 3rd pregnancy hopefully I may show up sooner on a test.

@lollyx96 oooh I see a hint of a line there!! I've had heart burn too and period like pain today!!! Xx

lollyx96 · 09/06/2022 16:55

@Littleonek Yes may be a good idea! Can be so tempting though! Never out unless AF arrives. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏽

lollyx96 · 09/06/2022 16:56

@itsnearlymytime aw it's a good sign!! Fingers crossed 🤞🏽when will you be testing??

lollyx96 · 09/06/2022 16:58

Couldn't physically wait four hours! Only managed about 1hr 45 mins but it's still defo there!! Not much change as expected hopefully tomorrow will be stronger. Interestingly though control line was much darker! Not sure if that means anything

I think thats clearer to see! Amazing as early and not a morning pee! Maybe you ovulated early and are further along than you think!

lollyx96 · 09/06/2022 17:51

@Littleonek could certainly be possible! I'm new to all this and found the opks very confusing to tell which was peak but paired it with premom app so went off that but know apps aren't always accurate

You will find out at your first scan if you were right as my due dates moved for both my babies as I ovulated later than I thought. Whats the name of the cheap tests you used?

lollyx96 · 09/06/2022 19:00

@Littleonek oooo interesting!! 🤞🏽 for opks I used easy@home and for pregnancy I used surescreen x

Curlywurly3 · 09/06/2022 19:21

I am having the weirdest cycle! I got a CB digital peak on CD9 which I thought was really early (it’s usually CD11 and ovulation on CD12/13) I’ve just done another CB digital and Easy@Home and got this!! CD13 today meaning ovulation on CD14/15. I have 25 day cycles. So weird and confusing!!
