This 2ww is killing me! I’m pretty sure I’m out this month as my partner had been working away during my predicted fertile window, only managed to BD a couple of times. But I’ve been testing negative on OPK tests since CD8 and I’m currently on CD21. I wonder if I ovulate really early?! If we get a BFN this month, I’ll start testing a lot earlier in my cycle that’s for sure!
how is everyone else?
@nervousn3lly im with you there! I woke up and tested today, I just couldn’t help it 🙈
@LozDo sounds promising! Sending you all the luck in the world!
@Bex4567 i was the exactly the same last time, symptom spotting like crazy and the BFN stung all the more because of it.
@moosey89 have a great time in Amsterdam and let loose. Fingers crossed that down time will lead to baby dust! 😌

nervousn3lly · 26/09/2023 12:10

@MissEmily5 how long are ur cycles normally do u no? I nearly missed my peak once it was so short that if I'd of been out for the day I would have missed it.

This month it was a 4 days earlier than normal 🤷🏻‍♀️

I want to try and hold out this Wednesday next week we shall see lol

Xxx

MissEmily5 · 26/09/2023 13:17

On average 27 days (vary from 27-30 days). My darkest test (done via strip) was on CD8 but even that was considered negative, only 4 days after my period. Maybe I just didn’t ovulate this month🤷‍♀️ I’ll test today again but it’s CD21 which would be very late!

4 days?! That’s such a big difference from normal. As much as the pressure is increased with testing ovulation it makes sense to do so to make sure we maximise our chances.

You can do this! 💪 hold on in there! 😂

Bex4567 · 26/09/2023 14:07

Does any one no what implantation discharge is like I've had some creamy white discharge so wandering if it could be implantation

OP posts:
MissEmily5 · 26/09/2023 14:24

I believe it’s tinged with pink/brown/red mixed with cream!

Comet1992 · 26/09/2023 16:22

Hi! Welcome to the thread :)
I really struggle with the stripe tests to understand what is positive and what is negative. For example your peak test looked a lot like my test which the Flo app deemed negative (it didn’t go off a photo though, just off what I said the test looked like). Do you know what your cycle length average is?

Comet1992 · 26/09/2023 16:34

Thankyou I'm TTC#3 have a 12 and 9 year old Ye I'm struggling it looked really dark in real life 😬 the darkest one out of all the ones. I tested from cd8 with Poundland ones but then got these ones thinking they are better my cycle is usually 28days I got the typical ovulation pains 2 days after the peak AF is due the 6th oct we will see I guess

Bex4567 · 26/09/2023 19:00

Oh no pink or brown I don't think

OP posts:
MissEmily5 · 26/09/2023 19:31

I think creamy discharge is regular in your 2nd half of your cycle but could also be a sign of early pregnancy according to Flo. Not everyone gets implantation bleeding I believe!

LozDo · 27/09/2023 18:32

I think the problem is a lot of early pregnancy symptoms are just things caused by elevated progesterone, but that is heightened whether pregnant or not, it's just this part of the cycle.
Implantation from what I've read is most common 8dpo to 12 dpo but most common around 8dpo... implantation bleeding is spotting really, very very light sign of blood but it's like 1 in 3 who get it apparently.
I don't think anything we experience yet can be classed as a symptom as either way we have heightened progesterone, just have to wait to see 😩... Having said that I am feeling so incredibly moody, irrational, low, pretty down honestly, the joy of these hormones 🤯
Hope you girls are doing better!

MissEmily5 · 27/09/2023 19:37

Yes! Mother Nature is cruel making the symptoms so similar! 😂
I feel your pain with the mood swings- my poor partner has been on the brunt end of it! Hopefully it is the reason we want to make it worth it (for us and anyone on the firing end 😂)

Comet1992 · 29/09/2023 10:22

When is everyone testing I'm trying to hold out until 10-11dpo which is mon/tues and what's everyone's symptoms my cm is crazy have so much of it and nipples are super sensitive know it's way to early but it's good to track just in case 😁

moosey89 · 29/09/2023 10:30

@Comet1992 not until my period is due. If it doesn't arrive, then I'll test. I see it as a stressful waste of money otherwise 🤣 given my total TTC time is over 3 years now (with gaps) I just don't bother. Plus having had losses, the longer I know I'm pregnant, the more I stress about what could go wrong! This whole TTC thing sucks, I'd like to just fall asleep and wake up with a baby haha

Comet1992 · 29/09/2023 12:35

@moosey89 I definitely understand I'm just paranoid because with my job I deal with medicines and lots of dangerous things so i really need to know as soon as possible obviously I wear ppe just rather inform work as soon as I can

TTCgoingcrazy · 29/09/2023 13:09

Hi just joining this thread as need help! This is my first time TTC and I feel really isolated as have no one to talk to about it. I am due AF today and no sign of it yet and no feelings like it’s coming. I am bloated and gassy and have had an upset stomach last few days. Have had waves of nausea but not sure if that’s just me imagining it!!! BFN yesterday and today. Am I out there running or not? I

Comet1992 · 29/09/2023 14:13

@TTCgoingcrazy everyone is different sometimes your body needs a bit of extra time to detect hcg do you know when you ovulated maybe you ovulated later

TTCgoingcrazy · 29/09/2023 15:03

I haven’t been testing but app says i would be 15dpo today but I’m not really sure!!

MissEmily5 · 29/09/2023 16:56

Like @Comet1992 said, everyone is different, the NHS website says if your period hasn’t come to test again in another week. Which I appreciate is super annoying/tense to do! Good luck.

Also, any thoughts on this ladies- I thought I was definitely out of the running this month but it’s 6 days before my period and I’ve started bleeding- not heavy but I’m not sure if it’s too much for implantation bleeding? (Not spotting but I don’t think you could call it a light flow either) I don’t remember the last time I’ve been early for a period and especially 6 days early! Which is why I’m wondering 🤔🤞

TTCgoingcrazy · 29/09/2023 17:05

Thank you both. Yes the waiting just drives insane! I’m just going to try and keep busy this weekend and not obsess…

@MissEmily5 seems strange that it’s so early. I don’t know many that have had implantation bleeding so not sure how much there should be. 🤞🏻🤞🏻 for you

MissEmily5 · 29/09/2023 20:09

I really get it, I’m only 2nd month in trying and I hate the waiting/wishing time! I think keeping busy this weekend will definitely help and fingers crossed it’s all worth it! 😌

That’s what I thought but I also have no clue about it, I’m the first in friendship group to TTC and we’re not letting family know right now either. But thank you!🥰

Bex4567 · 30/09/2023 10:25
