Ovulation Day - anyone want to join me during the TWW?

[Algor1thm]

Cycle 1 TTC baby #2. Baby #1 was conceived 4 years ago on the 3rd month of trying, but I had a CP on the first month. My LH peak was yesterday so I'm guessing today is ovulation day. DTD 4 days ago and 2 days ago, and going to again tonight just incase I have my timings slightly out. I'm an obsessive early tester and so will no doubt be testing from 8DPO onwards - I got my positive last time at 8DPO 😬

Anyone else just starting their TWW?

I've started a thread over on 'Pregnancy' called 'June 2023 Babies 🌞' if any of you want to come and join. I met a lovely group of ladies on here when I had my first and it was so nice to go through the highs and lows of the pregnancy together!

Uh oh think it's a chemical! The test is lighter today - 9/10/11DPO shown in the attached pic.

In others experience is that what it looks like? X

@NalaNana were they all taken from FMU after the same amount of hold time? If you went for a wee in the night for example it can be lighter than if you didn't

@Algor1thm all FMU, I don't think I drank any more or less, no wees in the night! Guess it's a case of wait and see! My period is due tomorrow, if it is a chemical, will my period come then or will it be delayed? X

@NalaNana likely to be delayed until all the hormones leave your system, but I'm still very hopeful for you 🤞🏻 Test again tomorrow and see

@Algor1thm well this is weird, I just did another FRER after a 4 hour hold (more than anything, just to confirm that the line was decreasing so I could start to move on) and it's stronger than earlier and yesterday 🤷🏻‍♀️ but still not strong enough to give me much comfort I don't think x

@NalaNana i was reading this thread yesterday,

poster had exactly the same as you and it looks like their pregnancy is progressing well.
Don’t assume it’s a CP yet, lighter lines can happen xx

Thanks @Mannymoomin that's really helpful! Think I'm going to try not to test tomorrow at all, and then test on Sunday with FMU (unless anything happens in the meantime!) x

@NalaNana that looks great! Honestly it can be a bit random and depend on so many factors. Line progression isn't always that clear from day to day. Every 48 hours is more accurate. So happy for you 😊

Hi Ladies! 9 DPO today and got my bfp!

Couldn’t quite believe the line on the FRER so took all the tests! 😂

fingers crossed for stickiness!

@LavenderWillow yay! Congratulations!! Is that our 5th BFP on here now?! 🎊

Wow just catching up with the thread and congratulations to everyone who has got their BFP!!! I'm hoping that the luck continues for the rest of us 🙏 I think I am around 8dpo, not due AF until the 2nd October so going to try to hold off on testing! But I have already ordered my frer test which are in the drawer so I will probably be tempted sooner x

Congratulations @LavenderWillow!!!

I’m out ladies period arrived and earlier than meant to , good luck everyone

@Becca12344 Im expecting my period early too, feels like I’m going to come on any second! X

Sorry to hear that @Becca12344, wishing you all the luck for next month!

@Becca12344 @ChloeN I got my period early today! Hopefully the luck of this thread will brush off on us next month 🤩

Congrats to everyone who got their BFPs! x

Okay so I’m now 9DPO and think this is my month after 24 cycles and 1MC! Been feeling some definite twinges and cramps (more like twisting/pulling) as well as my boobs hurting which has never happened before. Only thing is the twinges are on my left side where I had a previous ectopic. 5 days till AF due which is when I’ll be testing!

@Sophieleigh26 keeping my fingers crossed for a bfp for you!

@ChipAndDip @ChloeN @Becca12344 Sending lots of babydust for bfp next cycle!

I'm only 5dpo but eagerly counting down the days for AF so I can officially start my first cycle of ttc!

Hello this is a long shot but does anyone see a very faint line? This line appeared straight away it wasn't taken after the time frame. I took it as soon as I saw it! I'm due on my period from yesterday but could be today Wednesday or Thursday my cycles vary between 27-30 days I'm just not sure! I know the line is very faint

@Butterflygirl23 yes I think maybe I can see something faint 🤞🏻 Can you take a FRER?

@Butterflygirl23 sorry I think that’s an evap line. I didn’t get positives on them test till 5 days past MP With my son

Yeah I gathered it was, I took one Sunday evening and the same sort of line appeared straight away too. I've just never had any sort of line or anything on any tests I've ever taken so I was confused! Still waiting for AF but thanks for answering me x

My early lines in this pregnancy were similar tbh. Do you have any other tests you can take?

Well I know I said I wasn’t going to symptom spot as I’m almost definitely out this month due to lack of and late dtd, and counting down my days to AF so we can actually start trying.
But now I’m really questioning myself, just had a rather large amount of CM, (not unusual for me) but this was thick and slightly stretchy. And it was tinged brown with flecks of very obvious red blood, would’ve missed it if I hadn’t inspected.
But then I’ve also had my usual pre AF hunger pangs where I just want to eat eat eat, again not unusual.
Really making me question myself now, hats off to you ladies that go through this month after month
