Really sorry if I’ve missed anyone xx

Morning all ! 6dpo and also feeling impatient !! I like the hope of not testing but I also love seeing everyone's tests haha
I have 21 day progesterone bloods today, so that feels like a little milestone lol
@GinAndBearIt90 how old are your boys ? A friend of mine has 3 3 and under 🤯

@Goldie1234 aww at least you could test in another few days if you wanted to!! Try and keep busy to make them go faster 😅 Yes, my friend had her first and then twins 2 years later so she majorly has her hands full!
My boys are 3 and 1, and their birthdays are a month apart. 2 Spring babies! Was handy for using my eldest's clothes again!

I'm going to assume I'm just somewhere near the start of my cycle but just skipped a period and maybe do another OPK in another couple of days to see if the levels are starting to increase in line with that 🤷‍♀️ I've a friend who conceived when her periods still weren't back from bf so I know it is possible!!

Anyone else like to wait longer and test? I think I must be in the minority but I prefer to see if my period shows up or not before I test!

I'm so sad I didn't do 2 under 2 or 3 under 3. Kicking myself for it. I've seen so many families where it's like that and the kids are best friends.

(Obviously I'm sure it's super hard work behind the scenes!)

I'm 4DPO and time is dragging.

I always like to wait to test, however I always spot before AF but not when I've been pregnant in the past so I tend to know at 10DPO whether I'm out or if there's a chance....

I have a friend who had 3 under 3 and has now just had her 4th just before her eldest turned 5! Crazy! I am in awe of her and the kids are so cute but it is chaos when we see them 😂

I really don’t think I could do it, I’m a little bit of scared of having 2, even tho I’d love a big brood in theory. I’m probably getting too old to have many more 🫣

I would also love to wait to test, in theory, but I am rubbish at waiting. I said I would wait this month but bought some early boots tests yesterday “just in case”. Zero self control!

@HavinKittens Thank you! Last month my period was 9 days late which is typical as every other month for the past few years I have been like clockwork! I think if I don’t have any spotting, I’ll probably find it easier to hold out and test later! I was 19 when I had my son and it was a surprise to say the least! I didn’t pick up on any signs as I wasn’t looking out for them so I have no idea what to expect! I just recall taking a test as I was late and it being very positive! It’s a little like starting over again as I don’t recall much of my pregnancy either, apart from feeling very alone! So thank you so much for accepting me here! My other half is a diamond and this would be his first but it’s great to have this space to chat too! 💗

I've got a few Easy @ Home pregnancy tests which come with the OPKs. AF is due on Friday/Saturday next week and it'd be really nice to find out at the start of a weekend I think. I can't imagine finding out first thing before work and having to then concentrate all day lol.

Hi ladies, unfortunately I will be back with you all as I've just left the EPU having had a confirmed miscarriage. I feel weirdly ok as it was so early, got my BFP on Father's Day (of all days!) when period was 3 days late, bleeding started 6 days later and then stopped on Saturday. So essentially a late period, if I hadn't of tested I wouldn't have known.

As a side note, do you know how to remove yourself from a thread? I can't work out how to get off all the feb due date threads 😞

Love to you all x

@Vic231 I'm so so sorry, that's just the worst ! How are you doing ? I'm afraid I'm no help for removing from threads, not v good with technology.. I hope you're managing some rest and time for yourself and partner. Sending love !

I do like waiting to test, but will see how I feel next week !

I had 2 under 2 and definitely don't think you should be kicking yourself for not @LlamaMamma 😅😅 it wasn't planned and meant that I had sooo much less time for my little girl when she was still so young and needed me. It felt unfair on everyone ! They are very close now though at 5 and 3, but it took a long time to get there !

@Abs014 9 days late is crazy ! I would have been tearing my hair out !

@HavinKittens omg 4 4 and under !!! Is that even possible !! 😅😅😅

@CinderRosie haha I'm also trying to base testing around the weekend and which plans I have involving wine 😂

Ah @Vic231 my lovely, I’m sorry, hope you’re taking care of yourself. It’s early but you are still entitled to feel however you feel. Big hug

I don’t know how to remove yourself but if you click the down arrow on the right below the blue banner, you can unwatch so you don’t get notifications any more.

@Vic231 I’m so sorry, I hope ur doing as well as can be ❤️ I had the same when I was part of the sept/oct due date, it was hard to see updates so if u I watch them you won’t receive notifications, hope that helps xx

@CinderRosie that's very helpful to have a bit of an indicator before AF!! Now that I think about it with my second pregnancy I was 99.9% sure I was before I tested because a few days before I started recognising the bloating/uneasy tummy feeling I'd had the first time. My husband was rolling his eyes saying I was just symptom spotting but I just knew 🤣

@HavinKittens hahaha its so hard when they are in the house! I've one CB digital left from last time, but I definitely won't be testing with it because I only do those to doubly confirm and roughly indicate weeks - so it is safely staying in the drawer 😅

@Vic231 so sorry to hear this...sending a big hug 💔 I'm not sure about leaving a thread, but maybe contacting admin so they can remove you from it? 'Unwatching' the thread will definitely help prevent notifications.

@Vic231 I'm so sorry to hear this lovely 💛As others have said you can unwatch a thread from your 'I'm on' section, I think you can also hide threads so they won't pop up elsewhere for you.

Good morning everyone
middle of the week - not long to go now til the weekend! I’m off next week so extra wanting this week to end haha.

I said I wouldn’t track anything this month, but I have in the end. My temp is consistently up, so I’m really hoping my repeat progesterone blood test tomorrow shows that I did ovulate this cycle 🤞

I was wondering if @LA7887 had an update after your early tests??

@HavinKittens so my app says I'm 9DPO (had my fates wrong before 🤦‍♀️) so it's still early. I'm trying not to test til AF is due in 5 days.

Had an upset tummy for a week now, feeling warm and started to feel a bit nauseous yesterday and today, it comes and goes 🤢.

But who knows. Could be a tummy bug.

Fingers crossed for your blood test tomorrow🤞 I'm so jealous you have a week off lol! X

Hi everyone I’ve been a bit quiet during the TWW, just catching up.
@Vic231 im so sorry to hear that, it is absolutely crap. Hope you can take time for yourself as you need. It is an emotional rollercoaster this TTC business.
@LA7887 could be promising although equally hope you aren’t feeling too bad!!
@HavinKittens good luck for the blood test, hope it confirms ov for you and ties in with the data you have on your temps.
im 13dpo and waiting for AF. Temps still high and feeling very fatigued (not unusual pre AF for me) also had a lot of cramping. Hard to say what a normal period feels like as I’m on agnus castus and other herbs from a medical herbalist to sort out irregular/anovulatory cycles. Definitely ovulated as temps are consistently up which is reassuring. I’ve tested on a one step IC and looks bfn but like a mad person I have scrutinised it inverted and think I may see something… have sent DH out for boots early tests as I heard they are good?
didn’t get a bfp until 18dpo with my daughter so bracing myself for a wait, or of course I might just be about to have a massive period!! Which is the most likely outcome here.

Morning all

Hope your blood test goes OK tomorrow @HavinKittens and you don't have to wait long for results 🤞

Fingers crossed the symptoms mean something @LA7887

It's been a few days since my first opk, so I'm going to do another this afternoon and see if my levels are starting to rise in line with my premom app. Hopefully it was just a skipped period and I'm not still waiting for a cycle to end!!

@CurlyWurly1991 thank you. Its OK but like everyone I will feel better once I know either way :).
Ooo why don't you share your test so we can all have a good squint at it?

@GinAndBearIt90 firstly, I love the username haha! Love a wee gin 🤤. Hopefully the OPKs show you exactly where you should be. I find doing opk a task 🙄 couldn't be bothered half the time x

Good luck @CurlyWurly1991 !!

A few with what sound like promising symptoms !!! 🤞🏽🤞🏽 hope we get some +ves soon !!!

I'm 7 dpo, which seems like a particularly tough time of tww.. can properly start symptoms spotting now 😅

My progesterone bloods have come back from yesterday already, all normal 👍🏽

@HavinKittens hope yours go well !

@CurlyWurly1991 oooh how exciting, I'd also love to have a squint at your test!

5dpo here. No more cramping like I had the other day. Just feel my usual post-ovulation self - fatigued, bloated and craving rubbish food 😂

Yes I third being able to squint at a possible line. It’s one of my hobbies.

That’s great news @Goldie1234 that your bloods are normal. Reassuring! I’m really hoping mine will be better this time and the last time was just a blip 🙏

I have the nhs app now so hopefully will be able to see my result quite quickly. I’ll keep you all posted.

5dpo. Days are going slow. Zzz
