Thanks for this 💜✨✨✨ @EdinburghGirl1

Hello! 4dpo today... still spotting 🙃 whyyy xxx

Hello 👋 CD18 for me. Last month was a 32 day cycle so no testing until past CD32! Feels an age away. Hope everyone else is ok.

Thanks for this!

I'm 8 or 9dpo and was negative just now on an ultra early clear blue digital that I had bought by mistake last month. I'm feeling pretty down about it.

I don't have any symptoms for the last couple of days except a scratchy, sore throat and a few hot flashes.

Ugh, I just want this TTC journey to be done.

@Nichelette 😂 like minds.

Nice to keep the chat going as we all wait out the tww

@EdinburghGirl1 thanks for setting up new thread.

Anybody else just entered TWW? I made a few rules for this cycle that I’m determined to stick to. No testing until AF is late, have moved my pregnancy tests out the bathroom. Also not to pay any attention to symptoms as it’s most likely AF. Lets see how that goes 😂

@EdinburghGirl1 exactly. Was almost simultaneous 😂

@Londonlady22 and in TWW though this month am just guessing when I ovulated (think was CD18 or possibly 19) as not using sticks. Will be properly testing next month if no joy this time though. After being so convinced last month I'm not going to test until I'm late too (if it actually happens).

@EdinburghGirl1 Thank you xxxx

@thedust ugh such a long wait! but you can do this, it'll go by in an instant

Hi new here.

I came off contraception at the end of March/start of April and since then I have had two periods, once cycle lasted 45 days and the next 40 days.... this cycle we decided to start TTC and of course it's the longest yet! Currently at 55 days 😩.

Started tracking with OPKs and BBT and had peak OPKs around 12th august however BBT didn't rise.

Had another peak on OPKs over the weekend so we DTD the day before and day of peak and finally my BBT has risen for the last 2 days. I also had really bad cramping on Tuesday so im hopeful I have ovulated and can finally say I am 2DPO!

Due to the long cycles I has rang my GP and had bloods today, she said it could take up to 6 months from coming off the pill but they would check for any thyroid problem and to see if I have ovulated. I'm pretty certain there will be some problem causing my irregular periods, I seem to think they were in the past but it was 14 years on contraception so it's hard to know!

Wish all of your trying all of the luck for BFPs

Thanks for setting up a new group @EdinburghGirl1. I am so not hungry right now and just so bloody thirsty! Not to mention constipation. Now a headache! This is not fun! I'm 8DPO and really hoping these are signs and just not all in my head and hoping at this point! Xx

@Alice1608 that sounds really positive. I was like that 9dpo with my first. Wasn't very hungry at all and thought I was coming down with something.

I've been feeling twinges today and tired also but trying not to read too much into it

@EdinburghGirl1 aww this is good then! How many DPO are you? Xxx

@Alice1608 I'm 9dpo

I never cared about AF or symptoms until I started TTC now I think I'm going mental.

I'm the opposite of you @Alice1608 I'm eating way more than normal which is so odd as normally I don't have much of an appetite. Ate more than DH last night for the first time ever

@Havanalily1806 hello and welcome ! i think that sounds about right, your body having to take a while to adjust to a new normal. Frustrating of course because like all of us you want that BFP. Checking your thyroid is a good thing to do, to rule it out hopefully. Are you ttc for your first? let us know how you get on with your temps tomorrow, hopefully itll be nice and high just like today and yesterday :)

Aww OK @EdinburghGirl1 I will be trying to keep an eye on your progress then as you are a day after me. And @bossgirl94 isn't it so weird how all bodies are different and ours are acting differently! Lol xxx

I didn't care either about symptoms until now and now I'm going mad, thinking I'm losing it! Lol xxx

I think we're the same person @Alice1608 😂

Haha @bossgirl94 !! You are 8DPO too right? Xxx

Can I join in please. Cycle 1 TTC n°2 9dpo and my order of tests just arrived from Amazon so obviously I poas and obviously it's negative. I think my little girl was a super squinter at 10 or 11 dpo so I'm not out just yet but it's still disappointing when some get bfp from 8dpo.

I'm still bfing my nearly 18 month old but had periods back since she was 7 months old. We only dtd twice and I'm sure the second time was too late. If I do get pregnant then comes the anxiety of staying that way. My dd is my first successful pregnancy.

Anyway that's my story so far. How's everyone doing today?

hello and welcome @essa of course you tested, i think we all do before we're meant to haha
i'm 3dpo so still a while to go TTC #1 and on our third cycle
They say once is all it takes for it to stick so you never know. Wishing you lots of baby dust x

Thanks for setting this up @EdinburghGirl1 ! 7DPO today. Woke up with a really sore throat so going to get DP to do a covid test on me when he gets home (I can't do it on myself 🤮). Very hungry last 2 days but that could just be boredom setting in with working from home. Temp drop yesterday but back up today 🤞🏻

@NatGee haha absolutely. I've got plenty so it will be daily from here till bfp or I concede defeat.

I temped last time but can't because of sleep patterns this time. It gave me a pretty good picture that I was pregnant before I tested that time. I'm in the dark this time.

@CDD1992 fingers crossed for you it's not covid

@CDD1992 your chart is looking so good! the dip, could it be something to do with implantation?
@essa ah yes, it must be difficult to temp with your 18 month old. I can do it because we're childless. What indicators did you have last time from BBTing that you were pregnant?
