Anyone else starting their TWW? I'm 1dpo and need help staying sane whilst I google all of the symptoms under the sun 😂😂 currently googling "how does your cervix feel if you've conceived" lol

Good morning ladies, exciting to see some tests today!
I didn't get chance to do one this morning as last day of school rush! I am still trying to hold off for Friday but I'm very aware of the tests in my bedside table 😂 Probably wouldn't show anything yet thought because of spotting yesterday - how long do I have to wait after that?!

CatiaR · 19/07/2023 11:16

@MaddKatt91 congrats! I can definitely see a line there so fingers crossed it progresses nicely 😊

hiya @MrsB262 same here trying to hold on testing too early as it’s definitely too early for me still as I think I’m 6 dpo? AF is due next week at the end of the month so will try to hold on testing till closer but my cheapies arrived extra quick with prime today so just making it worse 😆

excited to see more positive tests come up for everyone! 🤞

ThelastRolo20 · 19/07/2023 11:39

@MrsB262 I had spotting on Monday and a BFN today but googling tells me it can take at least 3 days to then get a result! No idea when I ovulated so I'm guessing I'm between 9-11 dpo (and thinking more 9) and a used a cheap test this morning.

Thinking I'll take the plunge tomorrow and use a frer. If it's a negative I'll assume I'm out :)

ThelastRolo20 · 19/07/2023 12:23

@Myna13 so frustrating when our bodies throw us random symptoms! Maybe retest tomorrow just in case? But glad you're feeling a bit better than yesterday:)

Myna13 · 19/07/2023 13:12

@ThelastRolo20 it really is frustrating. AF is due Friday. I'll wait till the weekend and test then I think. Are you planning on testing again soon?

@MrsB262 hope you enjoy the last few days of school and can hold out testing until Friday/the weekend! Keep us posted with your results :) Good luck!

ThelastRolo20 · 19/07/2023 13:27

@Myna13 I'm going to test tomorrow with a frer as I think they're more accurate than the cheapies. I'll be 1-4 days out from my period then so I reckon if I'm pregnant it'll show up. So if it's a BFN I'll consider myself out for the month :) not holding out much hope though considering the stark white of the cheap test this morning!

Hotmalibu94 · 19/07/2023 13:46

@satellitesunshine hello again! I'm approx 9dpo today and thinking I'll test with a cheapie on Friday morning but I don't feel positive this month. Maybe I'll use an FRER, I'll decide on the day probably 🤣 I'll probably end up using both 🙈

AF is due next Tuesday according to Flo so will be a little early but you never know do you!

Myna13 · 19/07/2023 13:58

@ThelastRolo20 @Hotmalibu94 good luck for your tests! Keep us updated. Hoping for a BFP for you 🤞🏽🤞🏽

fleur89 · 19/07/2023 15:48

Thank you @Myna13 @thejollytrolleydolly

Hopefully it sticks, am due Sunday so caught this relatively early and worried about risk of chemical.

I'll do a CB digital on Friday if progression looks good, I find them way less sensitive than easy@home and FRER.

Hoping faint lines appear and then darken for all those testing at the moment 💗

Myna13 · 19/07/2023 16:04

@fleur89 keeping my fingers crossed you've got a sticky bean 🤞🏽🤞🏽

MrsB262 · 19/07/2023 16:46

@CatiaR I think I'm 8 so still pretty early for us both! I randomly did one yesterday afternoon, no idea why because I knew it would be negative as too early and middle of the day wee 😂😂
@ThelastRolo20 keep me updated tomorrow with your result! I never ever spot before my period so keeping my fingers crossed very tightly!! Painfully slow week.
@Myna13 thank you!! Last day was a hit but we had tears when he left as he didn't want to say goodbye to his teacher 😢

Who's on baby number and who's got other children?

MrsB262 · 19/07/2023 16:48

Baby number one** I also don't proof read 😂

thejollytrolleydolly · 19/07/2023 16:53

@MrsB262 we're on number 2, we have one almost 3 year old and on a mission to get her a sibling xx

OP posts:
CatiaR · 19/07/2023 17:36

Baby number 1 here 😊

will need to muster my willpower to only test end of next week! Anything before that is pretty much going to be a negative 😂

GHJ · 19/07/2023 18:10

Due af today but not arrived. Haven't tested today but have everyday for a week to no avail so annoyingly wondering if might have gone irregular which is a shame. I used to be badly irregular before starting the pill but been pretty regular since off it. Does anyone have recommendations for ovulation testing/ apps/ bbt testing etc please for next month?

ThelastRolo20 · 19/07/2023 18:25

@MrsB262 I never spot either! But my cycles have been a bit weird so I've given up trying to figure out what's happening haha. Will definitely update everyone in the morning.

We have an 18 month old so trying for number 2 :)

Nurselou · 19/07/2023 19:00

@thejollytrolleydolly feeling better today so it was some sort of stomach bug! Having mild cramping but think that is af which is due the 29th. Great to see these positives! X

thejollytrolleydolly · 19/07/2023 19:06

@Nurselou would you have cramping this early for AF? I normally get it 1-2 days before af is due but I know everyone is different xx

OP posts:
Myna13 · 19/07/2023 19:15

@MrsB262 aww! I bet his teacher is going to miss him soo much too! My husband is a teacher and isn't looking forward to summer 😂 he loves each of his students soo much.
We're trying for baby #1.

@CatiaR if you do end up testing, we're all looking forward to hearing your results!

@GHJ I dont mean to give you false hope but I know someone who got their BFP like 6 days after AF was due (and they tested every day for those 5 days and got BFNs)

@ThelastRolo20 looking forward to your morning update! Keeping my fingers crossed it's a BFP for you!

@Nurselou glad to hear you're feeling better today!

Nurselou · 19/07/2023 19:20

@thejollytrolleydolly well, typically cramping would be anywhere from four days to the day before so yes it is a little out of the norm 😂

I just remember my boobs being so sore with my first child, this was ten years ago! So can’t remember much else. I tested with a cheapie but bfn, only 7dpo so I’ll test again tomorrow.

what dpo are you again? Xx

MrsB262 · 19/07/2023 19:39

@thejollytrolleydolly I've got everything crossed for you 🤞🏻 come on baby sibling!!

@CatiaR hoping you get your BFP 🤞🏻

@Myna13 ooh is he a primary school teacher? My son took so long drawing each of his teachers a special picture (all flipping 7 of them 😂) I hope this is your month!!

@ThelastRolo20 this is our first month trying so my period shouldn't be messed up but maybe I've stressed myself out 😅 fingers crossed for you!

We are trying for number 3, I've been pregnant 5 times but have a perfect 6 year old boy and 2 year old girl 🩵🩷

CatiaR · 19/07/2023 19:50

@Myna13 for sure! Its very tempting but I’m guessing I’m about 6dpo without really testing so who knows! By this weekend/early next week will still be too early but more plausible if we were lucky! I’ve been off the pill since January but was on it for more than 10 years so still learning how my body is working again! For TTC don’t think it helps the fact that I don’t ever feel much for AF time luckly. So definitely overthinking everything I feel which still not much. But definitely sore ish boobs, tight lower tummy and CM is definitely creamy. So hoping those are good signs but hey its just our first cycle yet.

@MrsB262 thank you! 😊 fingers crossed for you too!

thejollytrolleydolly · 19/07/2023 19:57

@Nurselou I'm 8dpo today so going to test tomorrow again and see. I don't know why I did the frer they are so unreliable 😂 yeah your cramping does seem strange! I had so much cramping around ovulation this time and that's really odd for me too. Fingers crossed they are good signs!! Xx

@MrsB262 I have a 16 month old baby girl, trying for number 2

Hotmalibu94 · 19/07/2023 21:12

@MrsB262 trying for baby number 1 here 💕

Is anyone testing tomorrow?
My FRERs arrived today so I think I'll use one Friday
