TWW starts now.. Anyone testing 1st August?

[LilyDaniels]

I had a positive smiley yesterday on a clear blue digital, DTD today, yesterday, day before and every other day before that. I would do tomorrow but fiance goes away for 5 nights for work. I think / hope I've done enough 🤞

Is anyone testing 31st / 1st July? Here if anyone wants company! 🙂

Hey! I'll join you I'm due to test 29th/30th! Crossing fingers and toes and everything else for our bfp's this month!

@Nita19 good luck!! How long have you been trying and is this your first?

This is my first month of being able to try as my partner was away last month. If I don't get lucky then I have to skip next month as my best friend is getting married next may (I don't want the due date to clash with the wedding!), so really hoping for a BFP!

Well we haven't been taking precautions for a while but this is our 3rd month of actively TTC. Using OPKs and tracking my cycle. We have a 3 year old girl so we're hoping for a sibling for her! is this your first?

We managed to DTD the day before and the day of ovulation and every other day before that so hopefully we have done all we can

Hello - I'll also be testing end of the month! I have a 3yo already, trying for baby #2. This is my first cycle trying - I got my static smiley on clearblue OPK yesterday and DTD yesterday and 2 days before that. Advice on whether we should DTD tonight too? It's HOT! 😂

@bellaolive I'd definitely be DTD tonight too to cover yourselves if you can cope with the heat! A nice cool shower afterwards!!

Ha I think you're right! Do you know when the "best" time to DTD is when you get your positive opk? Is it the day of the positive or days either side?

Hi, can I join you all? This is only our 2nd month TTC. I didn't get a positive OPK last month, I think I started testing too late so missed the window. I had a positive OPK on Friday, we DTD 4 out of 5 days before and 2 days after so fingers crossed! AF is due around the 28th.
@bellaolive I know what you mean about the heat, worst week to be ovulating hahah!

Well I think after the start of your peak you should ovulate 24-36 hours afterwards! So we just try and work around it! Like most working people with little ones we only really get time in the evenings! Haha!! I think it's best for his little swimmers to be there waiting for the egg but we normally just make sure we do every other day leading up to my peak, then do the day of my peak and the day after (which technically should be the day you Ovulate). So in your current situation if you got your positive peak yesterday you should be ovulating any time so I'd definitely try and do tonight if you can!

@Staceyhelen it sounds like you've covered your bases! Eeeekkk lots of baby dust to you all ladies! Let's hope we get a couple of bfp's between us!

@Nita19 ahhh figures crossed you can give your baby girl a brother or sister soon!! Yes this is my first. I'm finding it a lot of pressure timing around friends weddings etc... An April baby would be a perfect time for me.
@bellaolive omg it's a challenge DTD in this heat isn't it!! I would say defo try tonight if you can. They say the best days are the two days leading up to ovulation though.
@Staceyhelen you have done well! I missed out on my first month too, so fingers crossed for us 🤞

We will have to keep each other updated if we have any early symptoms! 😄

Thanks ladies! I'll take your advice and convince my husband it's worth us passing out for in this heat 😂 Fingers crossed for us all 😊

@bellaolive it certainly can't do any harm anyway to cover yourself (as long as you don't die from heat exhaustion)

Im nervous this month ladies. Last month I got a horrible evap. Which I didn't realise was an evap at the time. Had lots of symptoms like cramping and back ache and feeling nauseous. I was sure I was pregnant. Then I started really vomited and it soon became apparent something wasn't right... turned out to be a horrific kidney infection!! How wrong was I!!

@Nita19 you poor thing! No wonder you thought you were pregnant with those symptoms. Did you have many early symptoms with your first? I guess you know what to look out for. Us ladies go through so much worrying, we drive ourselves crazy! I've been googling ovulation cramps all evening wondering if I'm having them or if they're just my dinner digesting 😆

@Nita19 oh no! That sounds awful, bless you. I was terrible for symptom spotting last month, and was so gutted when AF arrived, I didn't expect it to happen first month trying but was still disappointed. Hoping to be more relaxed about things this month, but easier said than done! 🤣

@LilyDaniels I know this month though to try and relax a little and I've promised myself no early testing and until I've got a good solid positive to not get my hopes up too much! I'm such a symptom spotter it's ridiculous!
The only symptoms I had with my first was cramping, literally just like period pain! And a strange tugging sensation in my abdomen! I presume that was implantation. Apart from that I wouldn't have even thought I was pregnant until all hell broke loose at 10weeks when the sickness began!

@LilyDaniels this is exactly the same as me 🤣 noticing every slight feeling in my body!

@Staceyhelen we got this!! No symptom spotting!!  like @LilyDaniels said it's probably just going to be our dinner going down or trapped wind or something!! I'm determined to try and stay relaxed! Haha!

@Nita19 @Staceyhelen Testing for ovulation is stressful enough I think! So yes the aim is to 'relax' for now and wait till 14dpo to test 🤞

Could I join you?

First month trying for #2 I have an 18 month old boy already 😊

Got my peak OPK yesterday afternoon so DTD Thurs, Fri and will tonight so hoping to have it covered! We were out last night so couldn't!

My AF is due 31st July!

@LilyDaniels @Nita19 yes same here! Dont want to get my hopes up so I will plan on testing until AF is late. Let's hope these next 2 weeks don't drag for us 🤞

Sorry to jump in on the thread! We’ve been TTC actively around 8 months, but no contraception for over a year now. Back to it again this month. We have a 3 year old old and both work long hours so it feels like it can be quite tricky sometimes depending on the timing of ovulation. Anybody else experience this? Like trying to fit in around life admin / demands! Good luck to everybody trying 😊

@eatsleeprepeat123 welcome! Our dates are the same 🙂 sounds like you have it covered! Let's hope these two weeks go quickly.
@Mum032019 hey! Completely understand you, this is my first and I didn't realise just how difficult it would be, I thought it would be a breeze! But working, keeping the house in check and the diary being busy as it's summer makes it so tricky - I imagine even trickier for you with a 3 year old! Sending you baby dust 🤞

Hi everyone, can I please join.

Just got a static smiley face on the CB OK. Finally. Turns out I got it on CD16 instead of my predicted dates. So hopefully this is our month. My period is predicted to start on 31 July /1st Aug. Going to DTD today, ,tomorrow and day after as well just to make sure

I'm testing on 1st August! 5th month trying 😩 got my fingers crossed for us all! xx

@HeartNutella congrats on your positive test! I use CB too. Did you use the 'four or more day', or 'two or more days'? It's hard work waiting for the positive isn't it, I always test positive on day 27.. so a super long wait for me.
@GeorgiaGK Good luck 😁 is this your first?

I'm wondering if testing on the day my period is due is
too early (14dpo) or whether to wait till 15dpo.. the last thing I want is a false negative!
