TTC April baby ☀️🌼🌿🌧🐣

[BiscuitLover3678]

Let’s go go go!

This will be cycle 9 🙄

@CinderellaFant I suppose so 😆DH has checked to see if they are any bigger and I am happy to report that both have increased in size, not just one!!😅Phew 😉I think he just wanted to have a feel 😛That's interesting about your cervix!! Could be promising!! I think there is such thing as an estrogen surge half way through the luteal phase... 🤔I wonder if it is connected in some way....I was so busy at work I am lucky to have had time to pee!! Thankfully it's Friday and I can chill a bit over the weekend.

@Aurora81 theyre coming tomorrow which is CD14 so I'm hoping if they are better, I have already missed my peak this month. That being said BDing on CD9, 11 and 13 should have covered us until now? I hope 😬 ohhh are you an early tester or will you wait until a missed AF? X

@CDD1992 thats great that they will arrive so fast. At least you dtd every 2nd day so don't worry about missing the peak, as you have swimmer's ready waiting for the egg! 😊 I am going to wait until my cycle arrives or doesn't arrive... The only time I test early is if I feel pregnant or I can see my temp to rising higher than normal. When I had the chemical pregnancy I just felt pregnant and my chart temps were high, so I tested at 10 dpo and got a positive. Tested again 12 dpo and it was still positive. Did one more test 14dpo but I had a feeling it wasn't going to be, as I could feel my pregnancy symptoms going away and the test started getting fainter instead of stronger. I guess my body knows what being pregnant feels like...heavy big boobs, peeing a lot more, feeling warmer and just feeling different if that makes sense.

@ThePodParent when you got bfp on those tests you recommended, do you know how many dpo you were?

@Dogmum13 I was 13dpo with DD (tested at 12dpo and got a stark white negative) and 10dpo (v faint) the pregnancy that ended in a MC. So I guess it must have depended on when I implanted or how strong the hormones were maybe? Both times I got my bfp 3 days after unmistakable symptoms. Also both fmu.

@ThePodParent thanks. I think I am 13/14 dpo today. I didn't use fmu as I was waiting for them to arrive but I did hold it for about 5 hrs and didn't drink anything. My symptoms are boobs very sore, waking me up in the night they are so sore and have outgrown my bras lol. Sore back for almost a week now, cramps, pulling, nipping etc on and off for the same amount of time and feeling tired and just generally a bit unwell. Had to stop eating my dinner tonight because I thought I was going to throw up.

@Dogmum13 Whilst our bodies (and minds!) can play unkind tricks on us, it definitely sounds promising. With DD my boobs were also waking me and I couldn’t even hug my husband properly they hurt so much. And I felt a bit unwell like I was a bit hungover. And dizzy and tired too. 🤞🏼 for you tomorrow morning!!

@ThePodParent thanks. I have endo so that could be causing the cramps etc but I don't normally have boobs this sore. If they were just my normal level of tenderness then I wouldn't even have tested at all by now

@Aurora81 that's looking promising that they have grown!! I was researching symptoms earlier and seen this

@Aurora81 temp is highest its been this month today. Hoping it continues to rise which may move my O date to yesterday as I had lots of twinges on my left side, a bad headache and I was so tired I had to have a nap on my lunchbreak which isn't like me!! Sorry to hear about your CM but keeping FX for you, this is your cycle 💗

Thank you @Aurora81 it certainly has been a week of highs and lows.

I'm sorry for your loss too. Here's hoping for BFPs for us all this month.

Hi everyone, this TTW is really testing me. I’ve had spotting almost every day since ovulation. It was extremely light the last two days but then last night when I wiped there was fresh blood for the first time. I am only on CD22, around 7-9 days post ovulation. I thought my AF was coming but then woke up today and it’s completely clear which is not usual for me, usually I come on very heavy when it first starts. Anyone had similar? When can I test?

@Doodle10 some people get an ovulation bleed, I did a couple of months back, albeit it’s fairly uncommon. The increase to fresh maybe could be implantation… however could be another way to drive us crazy in the TWW. I aim to test from 10dpo, but usually start with cheapies at 8dpo as I have no ability to hold back, even though it will probably be negative that early 😂

4dpo today. Still sore boobs and pelvic pains, but have had all this before in previous months so just normal for me.

@Mummyme87 thank you. Yes I keep thinking it could have been ovulation bleeding and now implantation bleed but maybe it’s just wishful thinking. I have some mild cramps/twinges too and very bloated but I guess could all be AF coming.

I promised myself I would wait the full two weeks this cycle as last month I ended up testing 4 times but I’m not sure I will be able to 🙈

which cheapies would you recommend? 😬

@Doodle10 I’ve tried a variation of cheapies, I currently have easy@home as they came with my OPKs

@Doodle10 I have had similar before, only a couple of times and it's always been if I am feeling unusually stressed, hopefully that's not the case for you but if so it might be a one off xx

@ThePodParent there is a shadow line on my test from this morning but looks very similar to the indent lines I've gotten previously on the easy@home tests. Have you ever had indent lines on these tests?

So I ovulated CD18...DTD days 14,16,17,18,19 and 20. If we get a BFN this month Im giving up OPK testing for good😂 currently CD 20 and entering the TWW. Good luck to you all this month 🤞🏼 😘

I'm 10dpo and just got a tiny bit of blood wiping so looks like I might be out already ☹️

@calipoppy what colour was the spotting? Was it just once or had it happened again. My mum told me she spotted before her cycle she got pregnant with my brother, so don't lose hope✨

@Louise34mum welcome to the TWW 😊 Time to recharge and relax... Also a time to have more fun and not have to worry for the first week about opks or pregnancy tests 👏🏻✨👏🏻

@Aurora81 it was like a steak of browny red in mucus... really hope you're right!

@calipoppy when does your cycle normally start, as in how long is your luteal phase. If it's too early to start then it could be a sign of implantation fx for you! 😊When I got pregnant with my DC I never spotted but everyone is different. I just remember realising I was late by about 3 days, so I did a test and I got a BFP. Those were the days when I was younger and more carefree I guess.

@Dogmum13 I always use FRER to test, because I hate getting line eyes....Has the line any colour....post a pic if you want us to have a look 😊

@hipposinacircle many thanks for your kind words😊I suppose we must take the positives from the situation, as in we conceived.

@CinderellaFant Thanks for the screenshot! 😀They definitely feel fuller, but it is probably just from progesterone rising in the luteal phase.

@Doodle10 has the spotting stopped now? How long is your luteal phase normally? Did this happen other months?

@Dogmum13 Last cycle if I held it up to the light coming in from the window, squinted and kind of blurred my eyes (… I know 🤦🏻‍♀️) I thought I could vaguely see a line (was bfn), but when it’s been positive you couldn’t deny that there was a line, even if it was initially faint. Can you still see a line if you take a photo?
