Hi,

Currently trying for DC 2, already have a 2 year old DS.

I should have ovulated today 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Anyone else entering the TWW? Due AF 7th Jan but will probably end up testing a couple days before 😄

@Pitstop1986 thank you! My AF is due on Saturday so I'm going to wait until Sunday. Its very strange.. you think once you have that positive you're fine.
The lines actually look lighter on the photo and obviously the first 3 have dried, there not really squinters but don't seem to be going dark!

Baby dust to all!!

Pitstop1986 · 02/02/2023 11:29

@30mummy I had faint lines with DD even after my missed period. That was with coop tests. I then did a clearblue and got a clearer line, albeit still not as strong as you'd expect from 5 weeks pregnant

SimplyChic · 02/02/2023 11:59

@Downtherabbithole83 thank you. Do you think I should wait until I expect next AF and stop the OPK's for a few days until I expect it? Don't want to waste the tests

Downtherabbithole83 · 02/02/2023 12:26

@SimplyChic I think that one’s up to you and I am by no means an expert! You could always stop if it’s stressing you out and then take one if you notice ewcm?

SimplyChic · 02/02/2023 12:51

@Downtherabbithole83 Thanks, think I will give it a short break. I rarely notice any EWCM, usually just more wet than usual, which I also got when I was supposedly due to ovulate this month (if my cycle continues as normal and skipped one AF) so hopefully a good sign 🙂

Downtherabbithole83 · 02/02/2023 16:54

Thanks everyone - I’m pleased that we caught and have my fingers crossed that it develops but I have a lot of period-type back pain still.

I took this one earlier today…

@Downtherabbithole83 thats really promising!!!
How many dpo are you?

Downtherabbithole83 · 02/02/2023 17:55

@MrsL22 I’m 10dpo according to my app but I think it’s more likely to be 11dpo based on the time of day I had my peak.

MrsL22 · 02/02/2023 18:07

@Downtherabbithole83 That’s great! Keep us updated with your progression. X

Mrsrobinsonx · 02/02/2023 18:11

@Downtherabbithole83 that test looks good to me. How exciting x

SimplyChic · 02/02/2023 18:25

Well I have started getting some brown discharge this afternoon while at work. Didn't feel any cramping and my app predicts AF to not be here until the 5th. Boobs have been sore too but these are classic AF symptoms for me. Although not sure why it's began a little earlier. Maybe as I skipped last cycle?

Mrsrobinsonx · 02/02/2023 18:44

@SimplyChic hoping you get a definite period or bfp soon 😂🤞🏻 x

Downtherabbithole83 · 02/02/2023 20:19

@SimplyChic glad to hear something is happening for you. Keep us updated!

SimplyChic · 02/02/2023 21:44

Thank you both! Nothing new yet it appears to have stopped now after a few wipes 🤣

@Mrsrobinsonx how is everything with you now? We've been talking a little while last I heard you were nearing ovulation? X

Mrsrobinsonx · 02/02/2023 21:48

@SimplyChic could it possibly be implantation? I know you said you’ve been doing opk’s but maybe missed it?

I’m still in the tww, not had many symptoms this month but a few I’ve written down. Feeling optimistic but also trying to stop myself at the same time to avoid disappointment 🙈

SimplyChic · 02/02/2023 22:05

@Mrsrobinsonx I did wonder a little, but I noticed a couple of drops in my undies mixed with clear CM then when I wiped twice then that was it I thought it was pre AF spotting as I assumed IB was very scant? And I've had brown spotting before AF a lot in the past.

When is your AF due? And I honestly can't blame you, it's so difficult to not get excited isn't it

MrsSprouse · 02/02/2023 23:20

@Downtherabbithole83 that test looks promising! Keep us updated x

@SimplyChic could be implantation? Fingers crossed for you x

My spotting carried on for 2 days and today turned into full on AF right on time. Now I'm wondering if I need to count the past 2 days as AF too making me CD3

I always wonder this about where to count from! I read something last month that said any spotting which develops into your period, should be counted as it. Is that what everyone else does? I never count until it arrives properly so probably all the notes in my app are wrong!

MrsL22 · 03/02/2023 06:49

I’ve always gone down the line of ‘any spotting that turns into your period’ is day 1. For example in the Flo app, if you log spotting then a period it recommends you change your period dates to include the spotting.
AF is due sometime next week for me and I’m so sick of waiting already 😂🙈

Mrsrobinsonx · 03/02/2023 07:40

@SimplyChic I’ve heard IB can be really little or a fair bit so I guess it depends.

AF is due next Wednesday for me, although will give it up until the weekend to arrive I think. X

SimplyChic · 03/02/2023 08:57

Thanks ladies! If it is IB, when should I try and test if AF doesn't appear? Admittedly, it could be another body fluke of mine 😂

Pitstop1986 · 03/02/2023 11:06

@SimplyChic I'd wait a couple of days to test. The hormone needs time to build up after IB. Hopefully by then either AF will be here, or you'll have your bfp!

@Mrsrobinsonx I'm due my period on Wednesday too! We're cycle buddies!

Mrsrobinsonx · 03/02/2023 12:38

@Pitstop1986 ahhh I’m so nervous 😂
I’m really feeling it this month, I want it so bad 😭

how are you feeling? Symptoms etc? X

Pitstop1986 · 03/02/2023 14:03

Yesterday I had unquenchable hunger. Ate all of my meals, the rest of a box of Ferrero rocher left over from Christmas, then went to the corner shop for a bar of chocolate, a bag of crisps and a magnum. Feeling a bit emotional which I was this time last month, it all points to period being due in the next few days, so I'm certain that I'm out this month.

Saying that, I keep looking at my calendar wondering when to do a test, just to be certain it's a definite negative!

Pitstop1986 · 03/02/2023 14:04

Any symptoms for you @Mrsrobinsonx
