@Babydustthisyear Know those feels!
I've been tracking my cycle but it's pretty inconsistent so I'm now starting to think that I ovulated later than I thought. I hadn't actually realised until I've clicked on the analysis tab on Clue 🤦🏼‍♀️

Babydustthisyear · 18/01/2023 18:07

@LotzW awww hope it will have been enough for you! What will be will be for us both this is my first cycle and I thought I would be testing January but my ovulation date changed changed was early on flo and the tests said later so I'm not gona be testing until day AF due I don't want to know if I have any chemicals or anything

Roxxybabe · 18/01/2023 18:14

@ttcat37 I def see it! Fingers crossed for you 🤞I really hope it gets darker!

LotzW · 18/01/2023 18:23

@Babydustthisyear First cycle here too. I've spent 36 years only wanting one child and all of a sudden it's hit me like a tonne of bricks that I want a sibling for my daughter. I'm now panicking about my age and I don't want the gap to be any bigger 🤦🏼‍♀️
Hope I have your willpower and stay away from the tests 😬 xx

Babydustthisyear · 18/01/2023 18:26

@LotzW aw that's lovely, don't panic it will all work out! I say this now and then next week il be pulling my hair out lol I'm due to test 3rd feb 🤞

Laul89 · 18/01/2023 18:28

@PeopleAreToads yeah good idea, just keep testing and then you will know for definite!

@Ncl31 your wedding will definitely give you something to focus on, we got married last July - postponed from July 2020! It really is the best day ever and I wish I could do it all over again!!
Its annoying to have that window I agree.. I’m still having cramps and feeling heavy but no AF yet, I was sure it would arrive today, I keep nipping to the toilet to check and being scared to wipe 🤣🫣 I’m guessing it will arrive tomorrow though 😢 clinging onto hope here!

Ncl31 · 18/01/2023 18:36

@Laul89 I’ve not had any cramps. Just had terrible acne and had a very heavy feeling this morning. I now feel very tired. I have a gym class at 8pm which will hopefully make me feel better and help me sleep tonight. I’ve Ben having terrible sleeps constantly dreaming about a baby :(

Laul89 · 18/01/2023 18:38

@Ncl31 🥺 awful isn’t it. Literally takes over your life!! I didn’t think I’d be like this when we started ttc but if this isn’t the month I don’t think I can go on obsessing like this.. we’re still very early into our journey so I need to chill 🫣
The gym always makes me feel better, I was there last night!! Let me know how you get on in the coming days and fingers crossed AF doesn’t show her face for either of us!! 🤞🏼✨

ttcat37 · 18/01/2023 18:42

@Roxxybabe I see it too and it’s darker and pinker in real life but they just don’t seem to be getting darker. I’ve got a headache this afternoon, always get one the day before AF, so think I might be out this month.

Roxxybabe · 18/01/2023 18:45

@ttcat37 oh hun i’m sorry! 😔

ttcat37 · 18/01/2023 18:52

@Roxxybabe thank you. Just need AF to hurry up now so I can get this out the way

Natty83 · 19/01/2023 08:49

So sorry @ttcat37 😞 I hope you know for sure one way or the other soon, the uncertainty is so horrid x

TunnocksTCake · 19/01/2023 09:41

@ttcat37 Sorry to hear youre doubting your lines - just thought it might help to know that hcg doubles every 2 days, and everyones starting point is different, so it may take a coupe of days for it to be more noticeable on a test. I hope you get an answer one way or another soon, the waiting is the worst

Knov20 · 19/01/2023 12:52

@Roxxybabe good to see you back. I took a bit of time off with my chemical - I think I found out just before you. I was so sad. I have just had my first period since chemical bleed and its been so heavy and also turned up so early!!

Roxxybabe · 19/01/2023 12:58

@Knov20 hey! I remember, I felt so bad for you! And then it happened to me 😔 I was so sad too! I was just so so so gutted and felt like everyone around me was announcing pregnancies! But i’m doing better now. Hope you are ok now! I’m 6dpo but not doing any tests this month unless I’m late. I’m trying to chill out abit now since my chemical.

Natty83 · 19/01/2023 13:25

Will anyone else be testing this weekend? I will be 11dpo on Sat and likely too impatient to wait any longer...

I’m 10dpo today and almost tested but managed to restrain myself. I will probably test tomorrow morning though as I know I won’t hold out much longer. No symptoms so not hopeful but can’t bear the waiting

Yolo23 · 19/01/2023 15:15

Hello ladies! I’m 11dpo and had some brown EWCM similar but not as much as the spotting I had before my chemical in Nov. I’m holding out to test - if I can as it takes some time after implantation for HCG levels to rise. My BFP was at 13dpo and I had a negative that month at 11 soooo - best to wait and save the uncertainty and money if you can!
that being said, I think I’ll test maybe Sat (13dpo) if I’m still having symptoms - I prefer to prepare for AF at that stage and try to know in advance if it’s coming…

Good luck! Fingers crossed for you 🤞 no symptoms here either and I also hate the waiting. The waiting for O day, waiting to test, waiting for AF... so much waiting!

Lal33 · 19/01/2023 19:14

@ttcttcat37 how are you getting on? Sending love x

ttcat37 · 19/01/2023 20:51

Thank you @Natty83 and @TunnocksTCake . FRER was negative this morning so I’m out this month. No sign of a bleed yet 🙇🏼‍♀️ I’m now 2 days late and I need it to hurry up as my OH is going away in feb and if it doesn’t turn up within the next day or 2 we’re gonna miss the next fertile period. Top tips to hurry things along?!

Good luck to everybody in their TWW hoping for 2 lines this week! Everything crossed for you all x

ttcat37 · 19/01/2023 20:53

@Lal33 sorry I missed your post! It didn’t work out for me this month unfortunately. Lots of faint positives then just negatives. How are you doing?

Sb86 · 19/01/2023 21:36

@ttcat37 sorry to hear this

ttcat37 · 19/01/2023 21:43

Thanks @Sb86 . How are you getting on?
