TWW testing first week of August

[TC95]

This is my third cycle trying, I’m currently 5dpo and definitely symptom spotting already 🙃 thought it would be nice to have some company in the TWW, meant to have AF on the 5th august but hoping I won’t 🤞🏻

[TC95]

@simplythequest i know I didn’t have enough tests leftover and I couldn’t be bothered to get more so took flashing as positive that ovulation was coming soon. Still no AF yet today but really don’t wanna get my hopes up 🤣

@trailrunner87 thank you I feel like I’m going crazy just want a definite answer! You’re not out till AF shows for definite!

@ThePodParent you never know hopefully AF doesn’t turn up for you 🤞🏻

Hope everyone is doing well. Congratulations to everyone with BFPs this month!

I'm on 14dpo and BFN so onto the next month, come on a May baby!

I'll have to order a lot more tests.......

[H1994]

@Jigglemonster I was born in May so May is a fab month ;), fingers crossed it's a lucky one for you!

BFN on a FRER this morning at 11DPO, think i’m out, the only little niggle telling me I might not be is i’m still having nausea today. But I think I’m clutching at straws.

[J1290]

@simplythequest yes and a numbrr
symptoms coming thick and fast now
wondered roughly what ny hcg would be
is it high enough to be 2/3 or 1/2

[mummatara]

@J1290 I've ordered a digital though not the weeks ones because I know they need a lot of hcg and I'm sure mine is still quite low 🙄 they are coming today I think I'll do it in the morning so I can tell DH. It's nice to have the worded confirmation😂 How many dpo are you now? I didn't get any obvious pregnancy symptoms until about week 6/7 with my last two

@TC95 still good no AF does it feel like she's coming or different?

Ahhh sorry @Jigglemonster good luck next cycle 🤞🏼

@Londonlady22 oh rubbish it might still happen the nausea is weird 🤷🏼‍♀️ when is AF due

[Londonlady22]

@mummatara due on Tuesday/Wednesday. My cycles vary from 27-33 days so sometimes its tricky to pin point, so O guess around 30 days which is Tuesday.

[TC95]

@mummatara i had the tiniest of cramps last night and thought that meant I’d have AF this morning but nothing and then today I’ve not felt like AF was on her way! Usually I’ll get cramps am hour or so before and then really bad back ache but I’ve had absolutely nothing today and no sign of AF 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m scared she’s just gonna catch me out of the blue though!

[mummatara]

@Londonlady22 what did you use to track ovulation? Do you know how long your luteal phase is? I have varying cycles 24-31 days but interestingly your luteal phase is pretty standard to you and doesn't vary much if at all so mine is normally 11 days which makes figuring out when af is coming easy as I track O with bbt. 11 dpo could still be early for a BFP

@TC95 oh strange gosh I hope she doesn't arrive 🙈🤞🏼

[Londonlady22]

@mummatara I use natural cycles, I temp and use OPKs, had a positive LH on the CD14. I have only been using it since June so I have never followed my cycles that closely or long enough to know how long my LP is. Last month it was 14 days (according to NC, but I didnt use OPKs last month and I didn’t temp that well) I have only ever tracked my period days so this is all fairy new to me! If AF comes which i’m sure it will I will def up my tracking game!

[mummatara]

@Londonlady22 yes def worth keeping up with the tracking it can really tell you a lot and I found it so useful to know when AF was going to come when we weren't TTC. I was on the pill before I had my DS I didn't realise there was so much to know about your cycle 🤣🤣 def nothing they taught you in school 😳

[Aimee1995]

@TC95 I am in a similar boat, yesterday afternoon got stabbing pains like AF was coming and then an hour or so later got spotting so was sure I would wake up to AF. However I still only have spotting, and I never have spotting, ever!! I haven't tested yet, I was waiting till tomorrow so have a FRER waiting for the morning if I am still spotting then!!

[TC95]

@Aimee1995 oh that’s unusual! Maybe implanting? When was AF due?

[Aimee1995]

@TC95 AF isn't due till Monday so I am very confused by it!! I wondered if it could be implantation but don't know if I am just clutching at straws!

[TC95]

@Aimee1995 seems like the right time for implantation! How many dpo were you when you started spotting?

[simplythequest]

@TC95 I had sort of twingy cramps pains, very short and sharp or dull and achy - maybe a good sign for you? Still having them now, which is not helping my paranoia about a chemical pregnancy!

[Aimee1995]

@TC95 I was 10dpo when it started now 11dpo and still not progressed to more!

How are you getting on?

[TC95]

@simplythequest oooh don’t wanna get my hopes up too much I’ve started getting cramps again and feel like it might be the start of AF 😩

@Aimee1995 youll have to let me know how you get on! I’ve started getting cramps so think this might be the start of AF!

[Aimee1995]

@TC95 tested this morning and it was a BFN so I assume the spotting is AF, but still only spotting this morning!

[TC95]

@Aimee1995 yoj never know when you implant it can take a while for the hcg to increase! I’ve still not got AF I was gonna test this morning but I’m too nervous 🤣 think I’m gonna test 100% tomorrow morning if not AF today!

[Aimee1995]

@TC95 sometimes a day off testing can help ypu mentally, it's so emotionally taking getting constant BFN isn't it!

[TC95]

@Aimee1995 it really is and as well with all the BFN I’d convinced myself I wasn’t pregnant and now I just don’t know!

[mummatara]

Well ladies I think mine isn't sticking suppose I'll find out soon enough 😢

[TC95]

@mummatara oh no fingers crossed it sticks and you get another BFP! When was AF due?

[mummatara]

@TC95 AF due tomorrow I don't have any signs she's on the way 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'll do another in the morning but I won't hold my breath
