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 😄

@TTC5yearsx this looks really promising 😇🙏🏼 Fingers tightly crossed for you and hoping for many BFP this month for us all

Downtherabbithole83 · 02/01/2023 12:59

Sorry to hear that @pennysays . Hope that you’re doing okay xx

@MrsL22 our decorations are down and in the loft. Think that was about 3dpo 😂

MrsL22 · 02/01/2023 13:11

I keep sitting down thinking I’ve got cramps but honestly think it’s in my head. If AF comes early I’ll be devastated 😭

Pitstop1986 · 02/01/2023 13:18

I'm so sorry @pennysays at least you have a brand new cycle to focus on. It's a new year, new starts and endless possibilities! Good luck for this month!

@TTC5yearsx I can definitely see something, but you are quite early on so hopefully this develops into a very clear positive as you near your period due date

It's interesting to hear howany people are getting tummy flutters/cramps and disturbed sleep. I feel like we're all syncing symptoms! 😂

MrsSprouse · 02/01/2023 13:59

Sorry about your period @pennysays , hope you're OK x

@TTC5yearsx I see a line x

Livingonhope · 02/01/2023 14:19

@pennysays I feel you this was me last week hope you are OK ❤️

30mummy · 02/01/2023 14:38

Hello,
I hope you dont mind me joining. I think i am around 8dpo, i didnt track ovulation but i got EWCM for 2 days so it would be around cd12.
Yesterday i had a sharp needle like pain for around 20 seconds and then a few twinges.
Last night and today my right hip has had a heartbeat of its own (on amd off) i also have sore boobs today, more heavy than sore.
I checked my cervix and it feels high but have attached a picture (sorry tmi) has anyone had it like this before?
I am trying for my first so not sure if im 'symptom spotting'

@30mummy the most important cm to look out for is egg white cervical mucus around the time of ovulation. If you noticed this and DTD with your partner whilst you have it, you've put yourself in the best possible position to conceive.

After that it will be thicker/creamier/sticky and varies from women to women so I wouldn't worry what's going on right now if you no longer get EWCM.

You've now begun your two week wait, so the time between ovulation and your period due date. Good luck!

Pitstop1986 · 02/01/2023 14:59

Sorry @30mummy I didn't realise that you said that you're about 8dpo so you're well into your two week wait! There's quite a few of us around the same stage!

30mummy · 02/01/2023 15:02

@Pitstop1986

Thank you for this, yes i had EWCM for 2 days and then none on the 25th, we DTD on the day i had EWCM, if the app is right i will be 8dpo now, 6 days until AF. Had a BFN this morning but i know its early.

Downtherabbithole83 · 02/01/2023 15:20

@30mummy we have a group test happening on Wednesday as so many of us are at the same stage and 10dpo seemed like a more sensible time to test. Feel free to join us!

Pitstop1986 · 02/01/2023 15:21

@30mummy yes 8dpo is quite early to get a BFP on a test. Implantation happens most frequently between 6 and 10 dpo, most commonly at 9 dpo and then HCG builds up from there. You may get a positive if you test again in a few days. I've got my fingers crossed for you 🤞

Pitstop1986 · 02/01/2023 15:27

I still need to go to the shop and buy tests! DH took my car to work today. That's the one with my daughter's car seat in it. I was hoping to sneak out whilst he wasn't here, but can't now as I have DD!

I don't want him knowing that I'm testing so early, so don't want him seeing me but tests. I'd rather tell him after I'm late for AF so I know for definite it's not a chemical if it is positive and don't get both of our hopes up unnecessarily

30mummy · 02/01/2023 15:33

Yes, i will test Wednesday.. good luck to you all and thank you for your help! X

MrsL22 · 02/01/2023 15:41

@Pitstop1986 please be kind to yourself. If you do have a CP you will want to lean on your DH for support. He will understand.
If you are adamant you don’t want to tell him, could you order from Amazon??

TTC5yearsx · 02/01/2023 15:49

I just went and got a FRER because I couldn’t wait and a line appeared literally within less than 2 mins. No holding. Mid afternoon wee. I still can’t believe it. Digital tomorrow or Wednesday I think!

Downtherabbithole83 · 02/01/2023 16:00

How exciting @TTC5yearsx - is the line darker than on the cheapies?

Hope they keep getting darker for you over the next few days xx

TTC5yearsx · 02/01/2023 16:16

Errr it’s similar really but it was a mid afternoon wee so I actually took it talking to myself about how silly I am as it won’t come back positive - my wee will be too diluted etc and lo and behold it did! Gonna do fmu tomorrow and hopefully it’s a nice line! My other half’s birthday is Wednesday so I’d like a positive digital to wrap up but we shall see x

Downtherabbithole83 · 02/01/2023 16:22

Fingers crossed @TTC5yearsx

CloudyVenus · 02/01/2023 16:36

Hi everyone,

I hope you don't mind me joining, I'm 7/8DPO today, (although I don't use OPK's at the moment).

Had a cold since just after Christmas (second cold since end of November) and today I feel quite crampy in my pelvic bone area and have been gassy from both ends (sorry tmi).

Other than those, I haven't noticed anything. Good luck to all! I will be looking at your updates.

cdn298 · 02/01/2023 17:00

I'm 9dpo today and have had some light pink spotting again. This is driving me mad now 😩

Pitstop1986 · 02/01/2023 17:59

@MrsL22 unfortunately for me Amazon don't do next day delivery to where I live. It usually takes a few days 😔 much quicker to just pop to the shop.

I found one of the cheap testing strips in the back of the bathroom cabinet, so I've got that as a backup if I can't get to the shops for a frer.

@cdn298 that must be frustrating! I'd take it as a positive sign. My fingers are crossed that it's implantation bleeding and your on your way to a BFP!

cdn298 · 02/01/2023 20:10

@Pitstop1986 I really do hope so!! I feel really bloated too so hoping that's also a good sign x

My lines on IC are so similar to yours. I used a ClearBlue Digital Test tea Early. It doesn't tell me weeks but does tell me pregnant or not. It pinged up even when my FRER was very faint and IC faint.

FarmBaby3 · 02/01/2023 20:47

That should say ClearBlue Digital Ultra Early test. It has a wee flashing red light when you’ve dipped for long enough!

10DPO is 1st January pictures.
