TWW - anyone??

[AROSE9]

Hi - I have just had my positive OPK & CB digital ovulation and expecting ovulation in the next few days. Weirdly I had stopped tracking for a while due to irregular cycles and just had an urge to test today!

DTD today and plan to for the next few days (sorry tmi!) but wondered if anyone else is on the TWW - it would be nice to have talk and share our experiences 😀

@Mrsrobinsonx well like @Sb86 I never see the lines and I can defo see this one! Tentative congratulations!! Xxxx

@Floralsandsmiles I use easy @ home, I’d recommend them as they have worked correctly for me so far. I use conceive plus for lube, the fertility ones definitely aren’t as good as normal lubes, they do dry out quicker but better than nothing 😂

@Mrsrobinsonx ah 😍 I can definitely see the line - congratulations. Hoping they stick for us. Will you do another frer in a few days?

@Hopefulx 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
AF is due on Wednesday so I’ll test again then I think. X

@Hopefulx thank you! I thought it had to be the fertility one as the other lubes prevent sperm from getting as far? Lol I'm so new to all this! I don't know where to start on tracking ovulation etc and all the apps etc..
I have just been recording periods each months and dates etc and then that gives me a date of next period (which is normally accurate or a few days out) am I really naive on it all and should know more? Xxx

@Floralsandsmiles yeah definitely use a fertility one rather than a normal one if your trying to conceive.

if your cycles are regular you can probably work out roughly when your ovulating by counting 14 days back from your period to get an idea. If you want to know exactly it’s best to get ovulation sticks to see when your lh surge is, then you can time sex perfectly. Have you thought about tracking bbt? When your temp rises it means you have ovulated. I use premom app which is free (have to by thermometer and ovulation sticks) and seems to get mine bang on every month and I am very irregular. Hope that helps x

@Mrsrobinsonx sounds good! Good luck 🤞🏽I’m going to do the same and test Wednesday - I still don’t have any symptoms though other than the faint line!

So the conceive plus one is best for that then?
And I'm sorry I have no idea on what bbt is? And how to use ovulation sticks.. should I be doing all this too? If so, what ovulation sticks etc and I will read up on it.. thank you so much for your help! Xxx

@Hopefulx me neither! Still got the sharp/pulling twinges in my belly when I move too quick or something, remember that from my girls pregnancies! And feel a bit tired but other than that, nothing!
and the line is so faint it’s making me worry x

@Floralsandsmiles I’ve used conceive plus but I’m not sure what’s the best one.

here is a good link re bbt - www.naturalcycles.com/cyclematters/what-is-basal-body-temperature

Ovulation sticks test for a hormone called LH. When LH is high you’re about to ovulate in the next 12-36 hours so can plan to have sex in those days. If you Google how do ovulation sticks work it will come up with loads of useful websites for you to read up on xx

@Mrsrobinsonx as long as we see line progression I guess it doesn’t matter how faint we start (is what I keep telling myself 🫠) will check in a few days. I’ve been taking photos so I can compare and marked on the tests which DPO each test is. My hubby said I’m crazy and need to relax 😂😂😂 xx

@Hopefulx thank you so much! I will be sire to read up on it all and the link you sent. Thank you again xxx

So I caved...seen a few people getting BFPs with hardly any symptoms and thought you know what I'm going to do a test and see!

It came up within the timeframe but it is super faint, it looks more pink to the naked eye. I cracked open the test so I could put it up to the light better. I don't have a clue how many dpo I am, I'm not overly convinced so will do another test Thursday morning and hope it has progressed.

Now I'm uploading it I'm even less convinced haha 😅 fgs! Ah well we shall see 👀

Omg!! @Sb86 I can deffo see a line.. have you got any frer? When is AF due? Pending congratulations ❤️

When I tested on Saturday my first line was fainter than yours today and this was my line yesterday.. if that can give you some hope 🤞🏽

Both @Sb86 @Hopefulx congratulations! I can see both lines!! Xxx

@Hopefulx

That was done on an frer so I'm not convinced, I'm pretty sure I can see pink in the line with the naked eye but my eyes could be playing tricks on me 😅

I might do another test in the morning or just wait til Thursday when it should show up more if it really is positive.

My natural cycles app is saying Friday but I think that must be wrong as I've not been temping so it's just guessing. I'm not 100% on when I ovulated this month either as trying the more laid back approach 🤣

Thankyou that does give me some hope, fingers crossed for line progression 🤞🏼

Omg mumsnet is so annoying on my phone, the text just does what the heck it wants!

@Floralsandsmiles Don't speak too soon but thankyou 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Floralsandsmiles thank you! I have a lot of doubt but trying to stay positive :)

@Sb86 I would test again on Thursday as they say hcg doubles every 48 hours so you will get a better idea. Got everything crossed for you! This has been a better month for this thread vs last cycle. Got my fingers crossed for @PrimarilyParented too!!

I've just been to the toilet and I'm spotting brown 🙃 will keep you updated

@Hopefulx congratulations, your line progression is looking so positive (excuse the pun)!

@Sb86 i could see the line on yours too, so hopefully the spotting is implantation bleeding.

@Floralsandsmiles you don’t have to test for ovulation if you want to take a relaxed approach but it helps to have an idea of your fertile period (taking charge of your fertility is a great read that is constantly recommended on here and it tells you about signs of ovulation). If bd every other day throughout your cycle or at least your fertile period, then you stand a good change of conceiving, but a lot of people using apps assume their predicted fertile period is correct when it’s not (it’s just an estimate) and so miss their fertile days.

Hey!
so I had my first squinter on Sunday at 9dpo and this is how it’s looking so far…
11dpo today. What do we think? Sorry for the rubbish photo 🙈

@PrimarilyParented thank you! I still feel like it’s not real, but I think that’s due to taking ages to see a line plus not having any symptoms.

@Sb86 hoping it’s implantation bleeding 🤞🏽

@MrsL22 great line progression! Congratulations 🎉 my 11dpo test looks the same strength as yours which has reassured me!

Congratulations @MrsL22 that test progression is great ❤

Hi All - new here buy currently 7DPO (according to calendar, did use sticks this month). Getting to those few days where I constantly want to POAS!
