TWW starting 27.10.22 - who's with me?

I say it starts today... today is ovulation day and will be the last baby dancing with my other half so I'm pretty much counting from now.

I had an early MC on the 11th October (I have had MC and MMC before - no living children) and have tracked my ovulation with the CB tests. After a rough few weeks I literally could have cried seeing ovulation was bang on the day it was the previous cycle where I got pregnant.

Anyway, who's with me and starting their TWW around now? I'd love some support to be honest although I'm obviously a little battered and bruised (literally from four HCG tests a few weeks ago) not pinning every hope but equally enjoying my optimism right now until we know one way or another ♥️ x

Hope it’s ok to hop on the thread late! I’m a day behind at 8DPO today, this will now be 2 years trying.

sorry for your BFN @MrsAlexander I know it’s hard when we are so used to seeing lots of early BFPs but this site is good to compare with — basically at 9DPO half of preg would show a negative, so you’re def still early! Got my fingers crossed that your reading comes true 🤞

congrats @Moonshine89 and @NatalieSF !!! Would love to see how your chart progressed @NatalieSF! Did you temp @Moonshine89 ? I’m such a geek for temp charts lol

Hey! Nope I didn't temp just went by opks! I've being doing them since my cycle returned in June and tracking on both the opk app and also the fitbit app which seems to always be spot on for me with predictions.

Hope you get your BFP this cycle 🥰🥰

kt1302 · 06/11/2022 17:25

I gave in and also tested 9dpo 😞 BPN

@kt1302 Im sorry about the bfn, don’t be too disheartened though you aren’t out yet. I’m sure I only had implantation when I got pregnant with DD at about 8dpo and got bfp at 10dpo and that was a very faint line.

kt1302 · 06/11/2022 18:19

Thank you @vitahelp I hope you are right

I had a positive OPK on the 27th and 28th

So do you think that does make me 9dpo or 8?
Not sure how all the opks work as it's the first month I've done it! X

vitahelp · 06/11/2022 18:24

@kt1302 I tend to get a final positive opk the day before ovulation so for me it would place ovulation on 29th based on your dates. Which would mean you may only be 8dpo.

HelloItSoph · 06/11/2022 19:37

Huge congrats to those with BFPs already!

11 dpo today and I’ve been doing ok not symptom spotting (there haven’t been many symptoms to spot) until this afternoon when I had a bit of light spotting. Thought it might be AF arriving early but it seems to have stopped now and it was very light pink which wouldn’t be normal for me.

Trying not to get hopes up but it’s difficult not to at least consider the possibility that it could be implantation bleeding. Got everything crossed, I defo don’t think I’ll make it to Thursday to test now though! 🙈

Sending love and baby dust to everyone still waiting and hoping. It’s not over til it’s over! 🤞🤞🤞

MrsAlexander · 06/11/2022 22:15

Thanks for your kind messages on my little post this morning. I've had an emotional day, this could be a factor of pregnancy, lack of pregnancy, period approaching, previous MC settling into my head mentally - who knows!

Sorry to read of those who got a BFN today - tomorrow could be a whole new day 💕

Alittleknowledge · 07/11/2022 06:15

Silly me! I broke and tested this morning after feeling nauseous for 48hrs. BFN - to be expected really as my period is not due until Friday. Needed to give myself some breathing space as every time I feel sick I couldn’t help saying to myself “is it pregnancy?” at least I shouldn’t feel the need to test for a few days now.

Must not be pregnancy related nausea (if it was causing my symptoms I should have a positive I figure), but a good sign that my body is producing more luteal phase hormones which I’ve been working on supporting this month as I’ve been having early spotting since my miscarriage this year.

vitahelp · 07/11/2022 08:05

Morning, I hope everyone is ok! I'm 10dpo today and feeling very normal which I know is a bad sign. Slightly tired but it's Monday morning so nothing new. Temp dropped a bit this morning and I know if I was pregnant it would be going up if anything. Feeling quite deflated but still got a bit of hope lurking as I suppose I'm not out yet.

@HelloItSoph Have you had any more spotting? I really hope it is implantation bleeding. Do you chart temperatures at all?

@MrsAlexander I hope you're feeling ok today. It's so frustrating isn't it how most symptoms/feelings could mean both pregnant or not pregnant. I hope things become clearer for us all soon.

@Alittleknowledge I'm sorry about your bfn this morning, but like you say it's very early so definitely doesn't mean you're out. I hope the nausea improves soon.

pixiecircle · 07/11/2022 08:30

@vitahelp hey lovely sorry to hear you’ve experienced false positives too 😞 that’s ridiculous yours showed positive with water!!! And what a bugger the seller doesn’t care!!

I do chart will post it below… temps seem to be staying fairly high but I can’t really trust it anymore… When I had my false positive at 12DPO, I also had a big temp spike!! It all span me out pretty hard.

Why’s your chart so odd this month? I also feel incredibly normal this month!

@NatalieSF thanks for sharing!! Interesting yours are fairly stable/even starting to trend down towards the end… just shows temping is only reliable to confirm ovulation and little else!

@Moonshine89 thanks lovely! Wishing you and @NatalieSF a smooth, easy and uneventful 9 months 💕

@kt1302 sorry for your BFN, but don’t lose hope you’re still early!! I also had a positive OPK 27th but didn’t ovulate until 29th, which could put you at 9DPO today — same as me 💖

@HelloItSoph sounds very promising!! Got my fingers crossed for you! Do you normally spot before AF?

@Alittleknowledge sorry about your BFN and miscarriage lovely 😞 hoping the nausea turns into good news for you X

BirdIsland · 07/11/2022 09:42

Hey, can I join? Ovulated 28/29 Oct so I'm 9DPO, zero symptoms and caved and tested this morning, BFN obviously ☹️

I've tried to me more relaxed this month, but it's so hard! Congratulations to all those with BFPs, and good look to those still waiting ✨

kt1302 · 07/11/2022 10:02

So I have done another test I believe I am 9/10dpo
Can anyone see anything?

@kt1302 picture is a bit blurry so hard to tell, do you have a better photo?

niknaks37 · 07/11/2022 12:16

Good afternoon ladies, sending a blanket message to all on this thread with plenty of air hugs! Think we all need it! Like many of you I decided to test 10dpo with BFN. I've got really tender breasts from late last week but in my heart i know this is menstrual, I could be wrong, heres hoping.
We are all on a journey and I hope we all have those BFPs we so desperately want. It is a comfort knowing we are all on a similar path. 😙

kt1302 · 07/11/2022 12:22

@BirdIsland I don't, it did look like a line in person but maybe i am just clinging onto hope.
I am going to wait now for my period Thursday.
how is everyone else feeling?

MrsAlexander · 07/11/2022 17:10

Just an update from me... another cheapy today - DPO10 and a BFN.

@kt1302 I did think I could see SOMETHING but it depends on how long you left it after the test etc. fingers crossed you see something more c

Hi all.

I've been watching this thread for a while but decided to jump in if you don't mind me joining you.
I'm 9dpo today on our 17th cycle of TTC. We did have a 6 week miscarriage in October but decided we did want to go ahead with ttc in this one so fingers crossed for some positive tests over the next few days.

Does anyone feel like they have line eyes? I did a test this morning and there definitely was a line but I spent about an hour convincing myself that there was!

JMichelle991 · 07/11/2022 18:07

I’ve jumping on a bit late if you don’t mind! Ovulated on 28th so 10dpo today. Really struggling with the is it pregnancy/is it period stress that happens around this point!

When I was pregnant with my first I started bleeding at 5 days after ovulation, I bled quite heavy on and off for almost 10 days and thought it was a period but it wasn’t.

This time round since I’ve been off the pill I have spotting/light bleeding for a week before my actual period starts. Anything from 5-7 days of this. During this two week wait I’ve started spotting (and a few occasions of wiping and having small amount of red blood) 5 days after ovulation. That would be 9 days before my period is due. I have no idea if the mini period before my actual period has started even earlier this month, or it’s similar bleeding as I had with mt first pregnancy (both times started on 5dpo). It’s driving me insane!

SillyOldBear3 · 07/11/2022 19:53

@MrsAlexander sorry about your BFN. I also had a BFN today at 9dpo. I think we can still cling on to some hope as still early?!

@kt1302 I see a line here, though a bit blurry, but definitely something!

vitahelp · 07/11/2022 21:58

@pixiecircle Your chart looks great, the rise at 9dpo is a good sign! Mine is weird this time because I reached a peak temp at 5dpo but then it started to drop (usually stays high) and has settled there for the rest of my LP. And usually temp starts dropping around 9dpo but it’s stayed the same this month and hasn’t moved, fully expecting a big drop in the morning though.

@BirdIsland Im sorry about your bfn, will you test again of wait it out? You’re still early for symptoms and positive tests so could still happen this cycle.

@kt1302 Yes I can see the line! Really hope this is it for you, let us know if you test again tomorrow, good luck!

@MrsAlexander Im sorry you’ve had another bfn, I hope you’re okay x

@s14a Yes I’ve had some shockers with line eyes where I’ve stared at a test on and off for 20 mins then taken photos of it and stared at those! It’s partly why I try not to test anymore as it was making me crazy!

colourPink · 07/11/2022 22:01

I'm here! Been TTC for 13 months with no luck. Really starting to feel hopeless and wonder if it's time to bite the bullet and see a doctor.

Used ovulation tests last month and now my period was due yesterday! My periods can vary for about three days so I don't have my hopes up yet. Did a pregnancy test yesterday and it was negative. Already feeling like it's another month wasted.

If my period doesn't come within the next two days I suppose I will do another test.

Would love to join this group for some much needed support! X

vitahelp · 07/11/2022 22:05

I’ve got a bit of sore throat tonight, it can’t possibly be the same bug DH and DD have this week though, it’s 100% a pregnancy sore throat..obviously 😂

10dpo always sees me abandon logical thinking

vitahelp · 07/11/2022 22:07

@colourPink Welcome 😊 I really hope it happens for you soon, and I’m sorry about your bfn yesterday. Do you know when you ovulated this month?

colourPink · 07/11/2022 22:13

vitahelp · 07/11/2022 22:07

@colourPink Welcome 😊 I really hope it happens for you soon, and I’m sorry about your bfn yesterday. Do you know when you ovulated this month?

I had a flashing smiley from a clear blue ovulation test on the 20th Oct. Had statics probably about two/three days before that.

I have a ache in my lower left back, super sensitive nipples and I'm bloated. Pretty sure I'm convincing myself these are early symptoms rather than AF preparing to come!

Thanks for having me! Sorry I'm not the most knowledgeable about all of this.
