Hi ladies... my apps think I am ovulating today so about to enter into the dreaded TWW and thought it might be nice to see if I have any 'cycle buddies' out there!? It would be lovely to see some BFP's on here!! We have been trying for a good few months for our first but have really given it everything this month (we're both sick of the sight of each other now😂). Currently have VERY sensitive nipples but other than that feeling good... had quite bad ovulation type pains the last few days but that has stopped now. x

Ohhhh @SophMumBles that is great, shows a lot can change in a day! Really hoping the lines keep progressing for you.

@Lemonbell I'm really sorry to hear of your losses xx this is only our first month of "trying" so I know it will probably take a while but I'm still symptom spotting like a crazy person. Really want to hold off testing (I'm only 6DPO) but it's so tempting...

Hi @Claudiasaz 😊 welcome. So sorry to hear about your miscarriage in September. The TWW feels like the longest time ever doesn't it - when do you think you are going to test?

Familyfirst12 · 27/02/2024 11:46

@SophMumBles Oh my gosh definitely a line! How many dpo are you? I have my fingers and toes crossed for you x

@MelonSmoothie thank you! I usually just wait until my period to be honest. I have felt like I was just coming on my period with all of my pregnancies so can't take anything as a symptom! 😂

@SophMumBles Congratulations lovely. Don't suppose you had any backache by any chance 😭😂

MelonSmoothie · 27/02/2024 11:53

@Claudiasaz yeah it's so hard to tell 😂 I'm going to try and wait for my period but patience is a real issue!

Familyfirst12 · 27/02/2024 11:55

I’m so tempted after seeing @SophMumBles line to go and do a test!! But trying to work out how gutted I will feel if there’s nothing there?!😂

MelonSmoothie · 27/02/2024 11:56

How many DPO are you @Familyfirst12 ?

Claudiasaz · 27/02/2024 11:58

@Familyfirst12 I guess have a think if you'd prefer to potentially see a blank test or a surprise bleed first. I sometimes think seeing a blank test would actually be easier than the dreaded bleeding when I'm at work about to go into a meeting or something and then having to try not to bawl 😂

The only downside for me is when I was preg with my number 2 daughter I did have a negative early and was actually pregnant 🤦🏼‍♀️

Familyfirst12 · 27/02/2024 12:04

@MelonSmoothie either 8/9dpo. I know it’s probably too early… and would probably be better if it was fmu, it’s like I know all these things but still really want to do it😂

@Claudiasaz af is due on Friday… I don’t THINK I would be devastated at a blank test today as I know it’s early. Although ask me again after I’ve taken it😂

SophMumBles · 27/02/2024 12:05

@Familyfirst12 I’m around 9DPO now…think my period would be due on Friday. Let us know if you do test! I was deflated yesterday at the negative but also expected it.

@MelonSmoothie Thank you! A lot can change, just hoping it progresses now 🤞🏻

@Claudiasaz Thank you, I had awful back ache when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter so I was looking for it this time but had no symptoms. Fingers crossed for you

Familyfirst12 · 27/02/2024 12:06

I’m convinced I’ve been more crampy than normal in the last few days. I normally get cramps the day before AF but not normally this early… I also cried at something I was watching on my flight yesterday… could be strange or could have just been a really good programme?! Honestly god knows😂

SophMumBles · 27/02/2024 12:21

@Familyfirst12 Im trying to hold in a pee for a few hours so I can test again. I’ve done two first response tests this morning, one with FMU and one with second and both the same result. Got everything crossed for you!

Herewegoagain0 · 27/02/2024 13:30

@SophMumBles amazing news! Congratulations! So great to see positive news on the thread! X

Familyfirst12 · 27/02/2024 15:11

Just tested and very very BFN!! Couldn’t even claim a squinter😂

MelonSmoothie · 27/02/2024 15:40

Argh sorry @Familyfirst12 😫 but there's still time I'll keep my fingers crossed!!

SophMumBles · 27/02/2024 15:52

@Herewegoagain0 Thank you so much. Hoping this is the one 🤞🏻

@Familyfirst12 Aah that’s a shame! But hopefully it will be a different story in a day or two 🙏🏼 xx

Claudiasaz · 27/02/2024 15:52

Always do first wee of the day if early 🙏 @Familyfirst12

MelonSmoothie · 27/02/2024 19:46

I've been having some really sharp pains in my boobs today.. I'm probably overly sensitive at looking for stuff but wondering if this is a sign 😬🥴 guess I'll have to wait as I think I'm only 6 or 7 DPO..

Emilyx00 · 28/02/2024 08:55

@SophMumBles congratulations!!! Crazy how quickly things can change. How are you feeling?

SophMumBles · 28/02/2024 11:49

@Emilyx00 Thank you so much! I’m trying to not think about it too much or her ahead of myself like I have in the past. No symptoms at all but I had a ‘Pregnant 1-2 weeks’ on the clearblue digital this morning and slightly darker line on FRER so praying this one stays 🤞🏻 What day do you plan to test? Are you noticing any symptoms yourself?xx

MelonSmoothie · 28/02/2024 12:04

@SophMumBles so glad the line is progressing well!! Keeping fingers crossed for you x

Emilyx00 · 28/02/2024 12:18

@SophMumBles so glad the line is progressing , so exciting!! No, I haven’t got any symptoms. I have one sore boob and slight cramps but I always get those before AF. I’ve had a few negative tests so I think I’m out but I’m just trying to accept it and move on. X

SophMumBles · 28/02/2024 15:25

@MelonSmoothie Thank you, hoping it continues 🤞🏻

@Emilyx00 Thank you. Sorry to hear you’ve had some negative tests. Could it be too early and still a chance ? Xx

Emilyx00 · 28/02/2024 15:28

I’ve had a mix of tests which I think are EVAPS as I’ve had a couple of negatives too. I’ll just have to wait a few days and see. I’m 8/9 dpo x

TWW... starting now!

MelonSmoothie · 28/02/2024 16:25

It's still early @Emilyx00 I don't think you're out yet!

SophMumBles · 28/02/2024 16:48

@Emilyx00 Stay optimistic! My easy @ home test was as faint as yours yesterday but I was sure I could see something so I did the first response.
These are my lines from yday and today and they’re so faint but hoping they progress. Don’t rule it out yet xxx

TWW... starting now!
