Congrats to @pinkandredflowers and @Scarletthoping on bfps last cycle, hope all goes well in the pregnancy.

Here we go...

@Boobag i haven’t had cramps before ovulation but every body is different. But like @HelloMoon87 said, I’d DTD incase. As the flashy smiley does mean high fertility.

so I’m either 1/2dpo depending on which app I go with. So the earliest an early PT would pick it up is what 10dpo? So I’d like to try and wait until the first day of my AF but that’s 17 days away, so I probably will drive myself mad from next week with testing 😂😂 @longingtobe23 so I’m not too far behind you!!

@Doodlestar once is all it took me the first time so fingers crossed for you.

@missmae how you getting in? We are normally the same time?!

@BlossomTree123 i’m thinking I’m 3dpo going off peak and the ov pain! But all good here I’m taking a more relaxed approach this time and keeping busier lol!I haven’t even thought about it really. The only thing is I’m just dealing with mood swings atm! How about you?

I’m tempted to test earlier but so unsure what DPO I am
I got peak on Friday 28th then on Saturday I had pains and woke up to small amount of brown/blood leaked in pyjamas !? Never had such a strong reaction but defo was ovulation

So sadly I didn’t DTD that evening (away again with friends)

But managed 3 days leading up to and Peak evening gone midnight so technically Saturday morning 🤣
because I haven’t ever had ovulation this Early and peak/ pains so strong I am all excited this might be the month due to my metformin but I must remain calm I know 😔

@HelloMoon87 still figuring it out tbh, think I'm still adjusting after removing my implant. But last cycle (the first I tracked) was 24 days so I just had in my mind I would be roughly that again, I think. I'm just constantly being surprised and confused by different parts of TTC I think! 🤣
@BlossomTree123 thanks, that's nice to hear! Also maybe will strangely take pressue off myself in tww if i think we might not have managed to time it right anyway🤞

@missmae yes I’m trying to be more relaxed too!!! I’m extremely irritable today too, so weird isn’t it that you get mood swings this time of the cycle.

@longingtobe23 sounds like you have it covered, have everything crossed for you! Sometimes happens when we least expect it so let’s hope!!

@Doodlestar yes it’s hard to stop yourself being so hopeful isn’t it!!! I try to stay relaxed and then constantly think about it aha!

Morning girls, 2 or 3 DPO today, had a 0.2/0.3 degree temp spike, but on ear thermometer so not sure how accurate but I’m going with it. Feel more positive today and less irritated. Hoping this TWW goes quickly!!

Can I jump on this thread please?! I'm 3dpo today, so sounds like similar to where some of you ladies are?! We're on cycle 3 of TTC#2. I'm 39 so trying to be realistic...but who's realistic when it comes to TTC?! Ha. Anyway, would be lovely to have some company in the TWW! Baby dust to everyone x

Morning!

I'm stopping bbt and opks from today and just seeing what happens. Going to relax more.

I was really tired yesterday and went to sleep same time I was putting my son to sleep at 8 pm (woke up on the floor next to his cot and moved myself to bed 😂). Woke up few times early morning but pretty much slept 11 hours and still tired...

@Doodlestar yeah maybe it's a bit early, but you can try a pregnancy test in few days maybe after CD 24. In one of the last threads, someone was pregnant after having positive lh closer to the end of the cycle. It might just be late ovulation as well xx

@BlossomTree123 it was the full moon yesterday that made me super irritable !! Never realised it had such an effect on me before.
you need a bbt thermometer really, as it needs to go under your tongue. Should read to 2 decimal places. They are about £6 on Amazon- get one with a backlight and memory function and you can thank me later 😉

@BlossomTree123 couldn't wait 😂

Tested yesterday at 8 DPO with a wondfo and nothing. Tested again this morning with another one and got a faint positive so used my one remaining FRER and it's positive! Still early at 9DPO but fingers crossed it's a sticky bean. How long till you can test?

@Boobag I use the clear blue and have to test twice a day to catch my peak. I missed it a couple times last time I was TTC and just got constant flashing smileys. If you feel like you're having ovulation symptoms maybe test morning and night as your peak can come and go super fast!

@longingtobe23 sounds like you have a great chance this month with those timings. Got my fingers crossed for you 🤞

@Pandabumbles welcome and good luck lovely!

@CurlyWurly1991 maybe that explains my
mood aha. If unsuccessful this cycle I will get an oral thermometer thank you!!

@HelloMoon87 where are you in this cycle now? Could the tiredness be a good sign??

@Doodlestar congrats !!! That’s amazing to get such a clear positive at 9DPO!

@Pandabumbles welcome!!! You’re 1 day ahead of me! So we are very close! Good luck!!

@MLN89 that's a positive!! 💛🙏🥳 Tentative congrats!
Hope it progresses well and you have a healthy pregnancy.
I'm surprised you could hold on to a frer, in this house it would have been gone 😂 I can't find any frers anymore, so just sticking to ICs this cycle, my trusty easyhome ones.

@BlossomTree123 definitely early for me, just dpo 4. I think it's my usual tired period 😔 taking it easy today.

@MLN89 looks positive to me, congratulations x

@Ecgx how are you?

@HelloMoon87 i am good thank you, just been feeling a bit tired and like tender boobs! But luckily not too much yet.. next few weeks will be different I am sure! How are you doing? X

@Ecgx sounds great you are not feeling too strong symptoms. With my son, it was the same but from around week 7 I had some nausea and that's about it until week 12.

I'm good, been resting 😴 quite tired and emotional but positive 🙏

So guys I seem to have loads of watery sticky CM, I’m 2 DPO and haven’t had this before. Anyone else had this?

@MLN89 oh congrats!! Hope to see the line get darker!🙏🏼🩷.

Deffo more relaxed this cycle, gone to visit friends and family back home for the week and have stayed with a friend. I’m 4dpo, nothing happening like last month! Just her cats are obsessed with me? I’m deeping it because the last time they weren’t that bothered and she has mentioned they’re only clingy to her and no one else. But they’re definitely obsessed with me recently. I can’t even use the toilet in peace !😂 not sure if I’m overthinking this lol!

@BlossomTree123 I think lots of cm is normal after ovulation? Esp after dtd 😂

@missmae my dog definitely sensed it last time! So fingers crossed it’s a sign?!

@HelloMoon87 ahhh I didn’t know we I’ve never noticed it before

@MLN89 congrats on the BFP!

8dpo here and I've been really dizzy today and a bit nauseous. Still trying hard not to symptom spot or get obsessive this cycle though! So hard not to hope into things though!

Hmm interesting about positive opks when you are actually pregnant. I did have lots of ewcm yesterday and a bit today which I assumed wouldnt be the case if pregnant? I also think it would still be a tad early, I'm still only on cd 21 overall since last period.

I can't opk or temp today or tomorrow as away and forgot my thermometer etc. Just started temping in last week more to get hang of it than anyhing else but now of course I'm annoyed I can't check for a temp drop to see if I did just ovulate.

I'm finding everyone's comments and sharing what they are going through so useful and interesting, this thread is great!

I will just keep an eye on things and test if no period turns up i guess. For next 10 days or so I will try to just consider this as a weird cycle and plan on starting again next time around!

@BlossomTree123 I've dried up today dpo 5, but it was like this when I was pregnant or not. I think from dpo 10, lots of CM is said to be good, but equally I've seen posts saying otherwise 😂 so confusing

@SnookyPook good luck! I know dpo 10 onwards, I struggle a lot!

@Doodlestar you're few days ahead of me! Lots of luck! How was opk today?
