Looking for TWW buddies....

[peaky297]

Hey! I'm on my first month of TTC baby number 2!
I'm now approx 7dpo (I think!) And in the two week wait.
Anyone else?

@GemLou88 onwards we go!
Got the clear blue fancy ovulation thing ready for this month, figured it was worth a go!

@Stilltobeseen how are you getting on?

I'm doing OK @peaky297 how are you?

Currently o'ing so trying to DTD as much as we can and fingers crossed it works. I am battling a viral something or other though. Honestly I don't think I've been fully well since started trying! I guess that's the joys of ttc while you also have a toddler bringing home all sorts haha.
I've decided not to temp this month. It was stressing me out too much.

Good luck @Stilltobeseen! fingers crossed this is the cycle for you x

Hey! How’s everyone doing? I’m on CD10 and don’t think I’m going to track LH this cycle.

Hi everyone!
@GemLou88 @Stilltobeseen I'm good thanks - approaching my fertile window and enjoying the feel good hormones whilst they last! How are you both?

If tracking temp / LH stresses you out then I think you're right to try without it, even if to give your brain a rest for a month for the sake of your MH.

I've not been much of an LH tracker, but I've bought the clear blue ovulation tracker kit to try this month - I will start testing to get a base line from tomorrow, so watch this space! 🤞

Hey everyone yea I'm doing OK! Turns out I've had tonsillitis so on antibiotics for that, highly, highly doubt this will be our month because of that although we DTD at the right times so only time will tell. Did LH strips this month but haven't temped and I've felt so free putting the themometer away. Having consistent wake up times with a 2.5year old in tow as well wasn't easy so this feels much better just being able to forget a bit in the tww. So I'm approx 4/5DPO. my surge lasted over the course of two days so not sure exactly when I ovulated but FF uses the first PEAK as a signifier of ovulation but its a day of a difference and we DTD on all the days so not worried in that sense. But now I'm just trying to get better and put it out of my mind for the next while.
Hope everyone is holding up well!!

Hey @Stilltobeseen and @peaky297 how you both doing? How’s the tww and CB dig going?
Ovulation is predicted in 9 days for me, but I think I might ovulate earlier this month. Starting to get EWCM already and having some twinges that I’ve been getting on the days leading up to O

Hey, can I join? Currently 4/5dpo but thinking I ovulated around CD20/21 of a 28-31 day cycle. Getting a fair amount of cramping but probably just symptom spotting!

first month TTC since coming off the patch in December so learning all the niggles that a natural body does. Going to test Monday which will make me 10dpo unless AF arrives early.

High @GemLou88 approx 8 dpo here. Feel the usual pms stuff, large tender boobs, bloating but nothing major. Trying so hard not to symptom spot this month. Anytime I feel something my mantra is 'its progesterone and means nothing'. I'm at the point already where I'm finding it hard to imagine ever getting that positive test again. I've also been making LOADS of plans this tww to stay distracted.
How is everyone?

Hi everyone!
How are you all doing?
@GemLou88 I'm good thanks - you?
Fertile week for me and making a more concerted effort this week and have done the DTD 3 times in 4 days!

Have any of you used the clear blue ovulation tests? I've had the flashing smiley for the last 5 days, but no solid smiley to say I've hit my peak yet! Is that usual? Ovulation is estimated to be Sunday according to my app.

@Stilltobeseen 🤞 this is your month!! X

@peaky297 thank you 🤞 for you too! I've never used the clearblue so can't help sorry. I use the easy at home straps with the premom app which I love. Really easy to use and the strips are nice and big so they're easier to read

@Stilltobeseen thanks for the tip!

@Angelselevenx so sorry missed your comment first time! Of course you are more than welcome!

@peaky297 thanks! CD 28 today and took a test yesterday which was around 6dpo but was negative. Wondering whether I should take one today with the first wee of the day

Hey @peaky297 I’ve used CB digital before. One month I got a static smiley and went straight back to empty circle. Not flashing smiley. And for 2 months I had a flashing smiley for almost 2 weeks before I got a static. I found testing with them in the evening better. But it might be better to test every few days with them and use the ic’s everyday. Then use the cb to confirm a peak as they are expensive to use.

welcome @Angelselevenx i hope the tww is going quickly for you

How's everyone getting on? I'm 13dpo today, due period on Tuesday. Have mild cramps and sore boobs feels like period is about to begin at any moment. I won't be testing unless I'm late, too much sadness and disappointment seeing BFN again and again.

And minutes after posting I got my monthly spotting, tested to be sure and BFN so I'm out. Onto cycle 5. Really upset

@Stilltobeseen oh I’m so sorry. I’m 9DPO today and a BFN. But had intense ovary cramping yesterday so not sure if that was implantation cramps or not which would mean I wouldn’t show a positive yet. Not going to test anymore and just going to wait for AF to arrive

So sorry @Stilltobeseen so hard cycle after cycle. Hope you’re doing ok. I haven’t been tracking LH but I think I ovulated yesterday or today but OH has been working nights or too tired so probably missed our chance this month.

@Stilltobeseen so sorry to hear that - it's so tough isn't it 😢 just enjoy a couple of weeks off symptom spotting etc now then you can try again! 🤞
@Angelselevenx any update? How are you @GemLou88 ?

@peaky297 did an overnight shift at work last night and held my pee til 7am and did a test (attached a photo) but may be an indent or evap. I’m technically a day late on my period now and just done another test and I can’t see anything 😔 10dpo now but I do know my ovulation happens later in my cycle as I think I ovulated around day 21. Who knows, I’ll see if AF arrives

@Angelselevenx I can see a slight shadow there, but agree it's not dark enough to be definitive. If you have ovulated later than usual then it may just be still implanting. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst - either way, you're not out till AF shows! 🤞

Hey @Angelselevenx did you use a sensitive test? Could still be too early.

I did a LH test today as I’ve been having more O pain and lots of EWCM and I’ve got a peak. Dtd Thursday, yesterday and will again tonight so fingers crossed it’s enough 🤞🏻

Any update @Angelselevenx ? X

@peaky297 3 days late and negative tests. Think I’m just about to start my period. But it’s okay cause it means another cycle to try 😊. How are you getting on? X

@peaky297 really weird, I’m getting a really really light pink/orangey colour when I wipe. God knows what’s going on. I had those really sharp pains last Friday and then still getting negative tests so that couldn’t have been implantation
