Hello!

TTC #2, 36 yo. I should be dpo 1 today, I could feel ovulation yesterday evening, had peak opk yesterday morning.

I will try to test only on day when AF due, so next Sunday, as I've had 2 chemicals so unfortunately not expecting magic.

Morning all, hope everyone is feeling okay!

@Tes004 I am new to all of this so I'm unsure on evaps indents etc, but that just looks positive to me?
Although if it was out of the time frame then maybe it is worth testing again later?

Currently 8/9 dpo and I caved and did a easy at home cheapie test this morning and I'm sure I could see the faintest (like really had to look for it faint 😅) line, but I'm not sure if it's my eyes playing tricks as it really was barely noticeable, so I'm taking that as a BFN.

I almost want to hold out now for a few days but I feel like that's going to be hard now!

Symptom wise my boobs are feeling slightly tender, and I had cramps and nausea yesterday but that seems to have eased, although I still have a dull ache in my back and feel very bloated!

Sending lots of baby dust to all this week, have a great Monday! X

Tes004 · 10/07/2023 08:16

@bookworm100 still so early - even at 12dpo I still think we are too early to test -
I had a static smile last Saturday so it makes me 8-9dpo I guess - I have also ordered frer but didn’t realise the delivery is going to be Friday or Saturday this week ‘ so annoying- I do have 1 cheap test and one clear blue one left but I refuse to pay more now lol ! Should took shares in hpt comps ! Xx

longingtobe23 · 10/07/2023 08:26

@Tes004 oooo so tough to tell I had a nasty old Evap Ona CB but it wasn’t that style test … however as you say, test again and you’ll get your answer

in now worried my cramps are a bad sign I am in real pain with them feels like sodding contractions I thought they were meant to be smaller 😖

Tes004 · 10/07/2023 08:47

@missmae did you give in and test ? I’m loving this thread - saves looking at loads of different old ones - so glad I’m at work today to be distracted- but only prob is I’m doing massages and facials and then my mind wonders lol x

cosymama2020 · 10/07/2023 08:58

@longingtobe23 @HelloMoon87 thank you for the welcome!

What are the usual symptoms for TWW? Apart from driving ourselves mad 😂 I’ve always thought sore boobs and tiredness but reading in here it seems some ladies get implant ration cramps/aches?

I’ve got a long 7 days ahead of me - 3DPO today and promised myself I won’t test until at least 10!

longingtobe23 · 10/07/2023 09:06

@cosymama2020 everyone is different ! But I think boobs and cramps can be most common…
some people have “itchy toe” I might be pregnant “nose bleed” ive heard it all over the months 😅

no one size fits all however I wish I just was one of those mamas who “just knew” 🥲

Maybebaby12345 · 10/07/2023 09:07

9dpo here and used my 20mui test which was stark white. I was scared to use the 10mui one because I feel like if that's stark white, chances are in out. Stupid I know. I have lower back pain and bloating just like when AF is coming. Shes due this Sunday so I'm not going to test again until Friday or sat if she doesn't show up.

missmae · 10/07/2023 09:12

Good morning ladies! @Tes004 of course I did, though I knew it would be negative but I had to join in as I have loads of cheapies so 🤣 but yours id say looks a tad darker, did that line come up within the time frame? How many tests do you have and are they all clear blue? Lucky you! I’m not working until the weekend now. I might have to just pick up some shifts to keep me distracted lol ! X

missmae · 10/07/2023 09:15

So 7dpo today. Definitely having some sort of insomnia at the mo, not sure if that’s causing my headaches. Still very gassy, irritable and my sex drive has decreased/very dry down there. 🤔

cth96 · 10/07/2023 10:11

Morning everyone! Turns out I didn't ovulate last week as I had a static smiley last night and a 0.98 strip today. So we're starting the TWW all over again. It's a bit frustrating but I'm just happy to have found a peak after three months :)

JLN88 · 10/07/2023 10:18

I’m officially out ladies. Good luck to you all ☺️

HelloMoon87 · 10/07/2023 10:37

@JLN88 sorry to hear that, feel free to join us back here when time is right 👍

Dpo 7 for me here. Constipation added to the list of symptoms. Sorry tmi, but all the cm is gone now as well. I won't be testing till the weekend as I get too anxious but I really do feel something is happening!!!

@missmae I am also having insomnia and waking up at 5-6 am. I thought we were supposed to be tired?!

@missmae @HelloMoon87 @Tes004
@cosymama2020

with my first I did not have any symptoms until like a week before my AF, got sick. then a few days later.

now I'm trying again I had like jabbing pains at like 3DPO but that’s it, I’m now 6/7DPO so a while to go yet.

We all seem in a similar position. Hoping you all get your BFP soon!

going to do another ovulation test tonight as had the flashy smiley yesterday (which is weird after already having my peak)

so we will see.

pm24 · 10/07/2023 10:53

Broke my own pact today and tested at 8dpo, obviously negative! I know I shouldn't have but just heard someone close to me is pregnant with their third and that just set me off! Last night I had super intense cramps like AF is coming but this morning they have vanished! Also I've been waking up at 4am for the past 2 days for a wee, could just be me drinking water late at night! I need this week to go quick!!

missmae · 10/07/2023 10:53

@HelloMoon87 we seem to be having similar symptoms! I am very bloated also. I know right? That’s it I’m so tired during the day like SO tired. Come the evening I’m wide awake, having a few hours sleep then up early! Also had a dream I was trying to violently throw up but everything was stuck in my throat, woke up and it felt like I had a lump in my throat. So strange 😂🫣

@BlossomTree123 same dpo as me, when are you due? I’m off work all week so this is dreadful I need to fill my time! I really hope we do get our bfp’s this month. My sister is around 5 weeks pregnant, I want to join her!🥺😂
also with the flashing smiley, it could be due to the estrogen surge we get around this time… maybe?! I have gotten a dark test around this time before but not a peak and I think it is due to the estrogen 🤔

BlossomTree123 · 10/07/2023 11:00

@pm24

sounds like implantation!!! Wait a few days and then try! Fingers crossed!!!

BlossomTree123 · 10/07/2023 11:01

@missmae

ahh maybe that’s what it is! I was hoping it’s because I’m early pregnant haha as I have heard people say it caused them a positive ovulation test!

I’m due 20th July, are you the same? Fingers crossed, it’s so hard to not test isn’t it!

HelloMoon87 · 10/07/2023 11:07

I'm due af on 17th July. I think I'll test on the weekend if I can bring all my patience to wait that long.

@BlossomTree123 are your cycles 33/34 days? When are you testing?

OP posts:
BlossomTree123 · 10/07/2023 11:10

@HelloMoon87

my cycle is normally around 29 days but has varied form 28-31

missmae · 10/07/2023 11:16

@BlossomTree123 yes I have heard that as well! I think around this time it’s only just implanting though! But fingers crossed for you!🥺 I’m due 17th July.
@HelloMoon87 i also may try to wait till the weekend to test again, but I’ve already broken it today. 😂

is anyone else very bloated but in their lower abdomen?

longingtobe23 · 10/07/2023 11:40

iPhone doing me dirty here with the nails and how many cuts I have on my fingers 😬

i took this test before I chucked my FMU and I thought it was flooded (photo on the floor background) … small amount of pink on the top

then I checked it again and it’s certainly got pink in it am I mad? I already know I am 🤣

BlossomTree123 · 10/07/2023 11:47

pm24 · 10/07/2023 11:51

@longingtobe23 I see a line! I would deffo go and get a first response one and test again in the morning! How exciting!!!

longingtobe23 · 10/07/2023 11:51

@BlossomTree123 @missmae i am 9dpo yes according to my app 🤞🏻

I didn’t get heart palpitations like it did with my chemical I’m staying level headed - I can’t seem to get any first response on Amazon! Where have they gone haha
