Thought I'd start a new thread for us all. Will tag as many people as I can but apologies if I have missed anyone

Thanks @Nichelette !! Good luck for when you test too! 🤞🏻
@RugbyGirl1 i think will test again tomorrow 💭 hope you’re doing ok 😊

I'm doing good! 5dpo and the tww is going quickly so far, I'm far more relaxed this time too. I start testing at 8DPO so it'll start Friday 🤞🏼✨

CD24 and finally got my peak OPK (I have a 35 day cycle!). DTD Sunday and planning on tonight and tomorrow as well and then suppose I am in the dreaded TWW!

Argh! I was feeling pretty nonchalant this month allowing the TWW to be easy. Then I just had a real stabbing pain in my right breast! Those things have been dead since I stopped breastfeeding 18 months ago, so it was pretty unusual. It was like a needle stabbing my nipple! Now I'm not nonchalant, just a lunatic!! I'm not sure when I ovulated, I'm between 8 and 11 DPO. My cycle has only been approx 25 days long. AF due Friday...

Has anyone experienced this symptom?

Trying not to test until Saturday! 😆

Had a temp dip this morning, hope it’s not AF 😩 sometimes I think about stopping BBTing once ovulation is confirmed as it can just put me in a bad mood which isn’t a great way to start your day… hoping for a rise tomorrow

@Londonlady22 i had a dip on 6DPO and it turned out to be implantation. Fingers crossed for you xx

@CDD1992thats reassuring… I always thought that you wouldn’t get an implantation dip until around D9… congratulations btw (can’t remember if I said it already as so many BFPs on this thread!!), how you feeling?

I’m marking my place, I think I’m DPO 0 today…

Wow I just read all the bfps - congratulations 🥳 well done all!
ive made another thread for September testers in case it’s weird to jump on this one this late…

@anotherscroller luckiest thread ever!! 💫💫💫 but there are still a few of us in the TWW here too… 6/7dpo today!! Will check out your thread though!

@Londonlady22 may the luck be with you!
im supposed to O today and have been bd-ing for England but OPKs aren’t budging. No positives yet.
im not temping this month on advice from my doctor, god it’s a relief.

@anotherscroller I used OPKs this month and got high readings but no peak but my temp rose and my apps confirmed ovulation so I reckon I missed my peak which stressed me out! Thinking to maybe have a month off of OPKs and BBTing next cycle if no Bfp this month. I think they can cause more stress, I might just DTD every other day and hope for the best !

@Londonlady22 yup that’s word for word what my gp said. Wisdom.

@EdinburghGirl1 just wanted to say seeing as you made the thread, really sucks that you didn’t get your bfp yet :( thanks so much for making this thread and I hope you’ll get yours really soon

Well I'm out, the Witch returned 😔😥😤 good luck to those still in the 2ww.

@anotherscroller I had issues with my OPK not going up but I am now CD24 (I do have a 34 day cycle so not as late as it seems) and today I have had my peak. The advice I was given is keep doing OPK until AF incase you peak late!

Sorry @TTCn2 good luck for next time. So sorry it must feel tough.

@Aimee1995 ah ha! Going to check how many I have left… are you just doing one a day in the afternoon?
i have 32 day cycle so similar to you

@anotherscroller I have been doing them actually been doing 2 a day one in the morning and one around 3pm because I have been so worried about it! I buy them in packs of 100 from amazon 🤣🤣

@EdinburghGirl1 I would have the drink if I was you, your on holiday you should be able to fully relax and enjoy yourself as much as posible, plus the amount of people I know who werent trying were drunk out of there heads most night and have perfectly lovely children is just ridiculous of course you have to do what feels best for you! Tbh I'm firmly in the drink till it's pink camp but know its not for everyone.

@wellhelloitsme Nice to have a buddy please remind me to shut up if I start talking about pregnancy symptoms! Last month I had awful sensitive boobs around this time that thankfully has not showed yet! (Symptom of progesterone). Checking your temp is a way to have some assurance that you're ovulating so if thats a concern you may want to try it. But it can be stressful and you have to do it consistently same time each morning. I enjoy, cause I love having the extra data and being able to compare but theres certainly been times I could do without it! If I could just do one it would be temping funny enough as I get ovulation pain about 2days before and my cycle is pretty text book

So many congratulations @RugbyGirl1 what a beautiful line!

Sorry af arrived @TTCn2

@newgal those were the same symptoms I had. I had really strong af cramps from 7dpo, felt hot all the time and still had cm which I don’t usually after ov. Fingers crossed it’s your month.

Cd10 today and just had some jelly ewcm and it had a pink tinge. Hoping this means a good egg 🤞 only had ovulation spotting twice before. Opk this morning still negative but it must be on its way

@Londonlady22 im feeling OK thanks. Been very tired. I keep getting quite bad cramps like bad period pains that come and go, seem to come worst at night but then go after half hour, think it might be trapped gas as I've been SOOOOO gassy but it was worrying. My friend (pregnant with her 3rd) reassures me it's normal so I'll see how it goes. I ovulated CD12, implanted CD18 and got my first faint positive CD20. Good luck!

@Nypie very true and my thought exactly. Feel like we can't completely out life on hold all the time for the what ifs. We already changed out holifsy as we had planned to go to Zanzibar but it was too risky if I had fallen pregnant before going. I wouldn't go crazy but would be nice to enjoy a glass of wine with our meals etc

@anotherscroller thank you. Fingers crossed for next month. Good luck to you and hope you get your peak soon and hopefully I won't see you on the June thread.

15dpo for me today and AF due. Nothing yet but will see how today goes. Just want her to arrive now so I can officially move on.

@EdinburghGirl1 snap! 14DPO and AF due today. I am also wanting her to just arrive now so I can move on! Xxx
