TWW begins today, anyone else?

So my first official tww begins today, anyone at the same stage.
First try for a second little one, currently have one who had their primary leavers assembly today so will be a fairly large age gap

I've got some very cheap tests from eBay (30 for £3!) so, unlike previously when I saved the (expensive) tests until later, I am just going to test whenever I feel like it. I aways assume BFN until proven wrong so there is no disappointment. I had one BFN today, 10 more to go (probably).

Sunnydays12340987 · 25/07/2023 08:02

Well 11 dpo, still feel like I've been hot by a bus and nipples on fire. AF not turned up although not getting my hopes up too high as AF appeared a couple days later before so fingers crossed it won't appear.

Hi hope you all don't mind me jumping in!

TTC for first cycle of Baby #1, assuming I am 8dpo today and too early to test but have done so regardless but BFN for the time being, AF not due till next monday so definitely too early but that's what my cheapies are for!

Only symptoms I have is sore as heck boobs, peeing all the damn time (which is very unusual for me!) and my cervix is very high and soft at the minute so hoping those are good signs!

Saving my boots early detection and my digital cb to closer to AF/past AF time.

Sending baby dust to everyone

@CatiaR you appear to be at the same stage as me pretty much, 7/8DPO today for me - didn’t track O for OPKs as we were on honeymoon and just wanted to enjoy ourselves.
AF officially due Tuesday for me but with PCOS that can easily change with varying length cycles.
I done an internet cheapie yesterday as I’d convinced myself I was pregnant. Obviously it was a BFN.
Im trying not to test until Sunday as my DH is away with work until then, although if I feel any symptoms then I might be tempted.
Ive never felt how high or low my cervix is until I’ve just read your message. I’d be tempted to say it’s high as I could only just feel it, but I have nothing to compare to. No sore breasts or nipples though and everyone has always said that’s how I’ll know I’m pregnant.
sending lots of baby dust to you.

CatiaR · 25/07/2023 10:36

@Ncl31 I didn't track it either, the app is estimating to be that and seems about right.

Congrats on your wedding, we got married this month too! but since we had my family travel to us from abroad we spent our week off showing them around!

Yeah I vowed not to test at all until AF but then caved and bought tests nad now using my cheapies! ahah its just the longest two weeks ever!

I've never felt my cervix until very recently, learning all these things but following what it said online if AF was due the cervix would be low and its definitely not so hoping its a positive thing too but still got this week to get through.

baby dust to you too!

Hi all I'm after a bit of advice.. I tested for ovulation yesterday and got a peak on fermometer digital OPK ( ++) . However got a low result on CB digital OPK (circle) so I assumed the CB test isnt sensitive enough..

We had guests round all day and managed to DTD just after midnight last night.

I tested again this morning and got a low result on Femometer now as well.. :-(

Today is showing as ovulation day according to the App and had a BBT dip this morning..

Can somebody advise if I have a chance in TTC this month or have I missed my window.

I've attached some images of my OPK and BBT FYI.

Thank you

Hi ladies, I would like to join in!

Fourth cycle of TTC first baby (Had a chemical on first month).

5 DPO today and feeling positive. After ovulating late in the last two cycles, I ovulated at the expected time this month.

After the chemical in April I said I wouldn't test early again but I have already decided to test on the weekend at 10-11 DPO🙃

If you DTD in your fertile window which by the sounds of it you have? Then you've got a chance

Biscuitbeann · 25/07/2023 18:55

Hi @mahii95

so from my understanding you’re deffo still in the running!! Ovulation occurs 12-36hrs after your peak LH surge and the dip in temp could be an ovulation dip, you’ll know better over the next few days if your temp increases 0.3-0.5 Celsius and continue to stay up until BFP or AF arrives!! My temp increase usually happens a day or two after ovulation I’ll attach my chart!

I caved AGAIN and bought clear blue 6 day early tests... I think if I didn't feel exhausted and boobs hurt I wouldn't but I can't not know! It was negative anyway. I probably didn't do it right as tested this evening rather than morning. I'm 11 dpo. Feel like it could go either way and half expecting AF to turn up tomorrow. Feel a bit down but I know these aren't a matter of dtd and hey presto

Sunnydays12340987 · 26/07/2023 21:06

AF not turned up yet, tiredness gone yay because it was awful but nay?! Still feel a bit light headed. Nipples so sore still. 13 dpo tomorrow then going to test on morning of 14 dpo as only got the expensive tests left.

How's everyone else doing?

Ncl31 · 26/07/2023 21:11

@Sunnydays12340987 sorry to hear you got a bfn again, hopefully 14dpo you get your BFP!
it’s so difficult not to test when they’re in the house. My rationale for using them up is “once they’re used I’m not buying more until I’m late” these last 2 days have been torture for me.

Thank you, haha yes good rationale! Hope the week goes quick for us with good news

Kcitsorf · 26/07/2023 22:12

@Sunnydays12340987 I caved too...bought a boots test hoping for the tiniest of lines... nothing. I'm going to try and keep positive and hope AF doesn't arrive at the weekend but I'm not convinced. Fingers crossed for you

I also started my TWW on the 21st, making me 7dpo today.

This is my first cycle trying for baby number 3. I'm not feeling super hopeful though as my cycles have been a bit odd lately, I've been having more and more spotting with each cycle. This cycle I started spotting on 1dpo and it still hasn't stopped so I guess it will just continue until AF turns up. Not really sure what's going on but I'm guessing it's likely going to affect my fertility.

I wanted to wait until 9dpo to test, but I have no self control so I tested last night at 6dpo knowing that it would of course be negative and a complete waste but oh well. Tested again this morning and another bfn of course. I'll use my last frer tomorrow then just use my cheapies after that since they should pick up if I'm pregnant by then. All my spotting is making me think I can't get pregnant, but I also have some symptoms which gets my hopes up.

CatiaR · 27/07/2023 05:55

One app thinks i would be 10dpo the other thinks 12dpo, I didn’t test so not sure but either way cheapies not picking up anything so not sure if its my month and been imagining the symptoms I’ve been having.

i guess we’ll have to wait and see

Sunnydays12340987 · 27/07/2023 13:45

Welcome and best of luck!!

Sunnydays12340987 · 27/07/2023 13:48

13 dpo today, I've had light bleeding which I thought was AF this morning so popped a tampon in. Took it out after 6 hours and just some brown coloured blood. Really hoping this is implantation bleeding and not AF as the flow tends to be heavy from the start for me. Time will tell! Nipples still sore. Tiredness reduced but still there and feeling a bit light headed.

mahii95 · 27/07/2023 16:30

@Sunnydays12340987 when are you planning to test? I thought 13dpo is a bit late for implantation bleeding but i guess everyone is different...

Saturday I think now. Yea feels like on the late side but googled and it says it can happen so who knows. Dr google is a bit unreliable haha

Biscuitbeann · 27/07/2023 17:26

Heyy!

I have a question about CM and hoping someone who is a bit more knowledgeable than me could help!

So last cycle I don’t really recall noticing a much CM wise after ovulation maybe small amounts of a thicker creamy consistency but not enough to ever log on my app. I’m 6 or 7dpo today and noticed my underwear is wet from CM alot more - almost as much as when I ovulated last cycle! Any thoughts?

I track my BBT and also was taking opk kits so I don’t think I’ve miss calculated my ovulation day and I feel cycle day 22 is late for ovulation could this be a super early pregnancy symptom? or am I being crazy?

Ncl31 · 27/07/2023 17:36

@Biscuitbeann sorry im not going to be much help to you but this time since ovulation I had pretty dry cm up until 8dpo then the last 2 days it has been quite wet, much more than normal. Not EWCM though, just wet.

I’ve read it can be positive for a BFP but I guess everyone is different.

pmd88 · 27/07/2023 17:52

I have that some cycles randomly and alas no bfp.
