My app is saying I can test in 13 days but my cycles are really irregular so we shall see 🤞🏻

Tottenhaminmyblood · 15/01/2023 20:35

What app are you using ? I’ve just started using Flo .

Me! I’m due AF on the 23rd - it’s taking forever…

I'm using OVIA
used it for baby #1
It looks at your symptoms and cervical mucus to determine where you are in cycle. I've found it to be quite useful and reliable

Me! TTC #1 after a MMC in December. My app says period due 27th but haven't had a first period after MC yet so could be any time, seems there are no rules in the first period after a MC.

Rabbithole27 · 16/01/2023 11:59

Me! AF due on 22nd and trying to be patient and not test too early 🙃

Tottenhaminmyblood · 16/01/2023 13:28

@Yolo23 not to long for you to go now tho ! Is this your first ?

Tottenhaminmyblood · 16/01/2023 13:30

@BambiBooBoo I will have to have a look at that app . Are your cycles long ? I’m 37 this year and have been using no contraceptive for 14 months .

@Enigma85 sorry to hear of your loss . Was you TTC for awhile ?

OP posts:
Tottenhaminmyblood · 16/01/2023 13:32

@Rabbithole27 do you normally test early ? When are you planning to ? The 28th feels so far away from me and we had a real tough week of ovulation and only DTD once so I think I’m probably out .

@Tottenhaminmyblood trying for 8 months first time, I'm 37 so knew that it could take longer but doesn't make it any easier knowing that. Is this you ttc your first?

It's a good app. And it's free.

My cycles tend to have a variety of lengths 😂
Last cycle was 36days. Then- 33days. 32days. 39days. 36days. Going backwards through 2022

Hi everyone, AF due on 26th for me ✋ 12 cycles of TTC

strawberryandcreams · 16/01/2023 14:28

Due 29th - cycle 11 TTC number 3

mumofoneboyhopingforanother · 16/01/2023 14:43

I'm due on the 22nd, I know too early to test but I'm sure I see a shadow. 7/8dpo so technically shouldn't see anything. Been having cramps and achy boobs as well as severe nausea.

Hoping for baby number 2 to give my gorgeous boy a sibling and to grow our family 🤞🏻

I’m due AF on the 20th, am 9dpo. I thought I felt a bit nauseous this morning but that’s all.

BambiBooBoo · 16/01/2023 15:26

@mumofoneboyhopingforanother that's really playing tricks on my eyes as I'm sure I can see something then I'm not sure 🤔

Change the picture to inverted colour and you should be able to see better

mumofoneboyhopingforanother · 16/01/2023 15:29

@BambiBooBoo it's been playing tricks on my eyes all day!

I've got a FRER however I'm waiting till at least Wednesday/Thursday to use that.

Here is the inverted picture x

Have you tried shining a light (like from your torch on phone) behind the test to see if there's a line? (I used to do it for covid tests and it helps you see a faint line)!

Also on the TTW! I have irregular periods (recently off the pill and only two periods since October) so no idea when I ovulated or when aunt Flo is coming! Using two apps: Ovia says period due 21st and MyCalendar says 29th...

Yes tried shining a light but I think it's that faint and more a shadow it's not really showing anything, I'll test tomorrow morning with a cheap one and see how it is. Xx

iGotADilemma · 16/01/2023 16:07

Hi everyone
Can I join? TTC #2, been trying on and off for 7 months but this month was the first proper month of trying. DS was conceived 2nd month so I'm hoping this one will be quick too. Currently 6dpo and AF due on 26th. Been feeling bloated/gassy/sore and hoping it's a good sign. I forgot how brutal the TWW is, it's all I can think about!!

Swiftie12 · 16/01/2023 16:20

Me! Due on 30/01. It’s only our first cycle but the wait is terrible tbh. I’m an impatient person anyway, we’re away next weekend which I’m hoping will take my mind off it, will try to hold off testing too early but knowing me I won’t manage to. I keep mentioning to my other half how long the wait is and he’s incredibly chill about it 😂 I think when it’s your own body and you’re noticing every little symptom and sign it’s so different.

This is my 4th cycle, I didn’t test early the first one but did the second and third - can’t decide if it helped as it put me out of my misery early or was harder because I kept convincing myself is just too early 😂I have short cycles so AF is due when I’m only 11 dpo which I’ve heard can make things more difficult when TTC. Think I’ll probably wait until Saturday to test… what about you?

UserL95 · 16/01/2023 17:20

@Rabbithole27 i also have a short LP as I ovulate around CD16-18 and AF arrives CD29-31. I’ve been ttc#1 for 12 months now. I’ve recently started taking L-arganine and vitamin E supplements alongs side some others - apparently both can help with building uterine lining which is essentially the main part of LP and why having a shorter LP is undesirable. Good luck!! ✨

Rabbithole27 · 16/01/2023 17:35

Ahh, that’s good to know thank you!! I read vitamin C and B6 can help so I’ve been taking them the last few months. I ovulate quite early usually around CD 10 - 12 and then my cycles are only 21 - 23 days. I’ve always had short cycles but just used to see it as annoying having AF so regularly but never realised how much it can impact TTC 😫good luck to you too! 💫
