Anyone else started the TWW?

[amichel]

The tww feels like forever! I'm hoping to find cycle buddies! Looking forward to symptom spotting, testing and everything else!😅

I might give it one more cycle and then give them a call (I also said this last cycle 😂). I think if I say it’s more for my irregular cycles than purely fertility I might get seen. Will have to see.

That’s a good idea about not buying the cheapies, I might do the same. Although I still have loads left from this cycle.

Ahh similar age, mine will be 3 early December. That’s another reason I’m hoping for a BFP soon, I’d prefer the age gap not to be ridiculously big, but beggars can’t be choosers hey! x

I’m out, AF started weirdly yesterday afternoon but is now a heavy flow.
good luck and I hope you all get BFP x

Driving myself mad here had strange lower abdomen bubbling and people could see my tummy moving yesterday at work is this due to hormones?? Has anyone else felt this?? Was such a strange sensation not my normal abdominal gas cramps as they hurt a lot also no noise with it. This morning I had some cramps nothing major lower abdomen got a busy day work so hopefully take my mind off everything. Baby dust to all xx

I'm out, Af arrived this morning. 3 days earlier than expected so it was only a 23 day cycle.
Good luck to all on the next cycle✨

Sorry to see people’s AF arriving 😔. I’m due on today or tomorrow so will be joining you soon into the next cycle!

@amichel wonder what that spotting was about the other day then? I was sure it would have been an implantation bleed

@Marie1990x fingers crossed you won't be joining the AF club!

It's still super light at the moment, it's bright red though so I'm sure it'll get heavier.

My body was cruel to me this cycle with the spotting a week ago🥺

@amichel have you got a plan moving into next cycle?

I’ll definitely be coming on imminently, I can feel it brewing x

@Marie1990x
I'll start the folic acid again from today and try to be consistent with it. I'll still track ovulation, although I'm going to aim to dtd every other day or every third day. I think taking a break straight after ovulation may have been a mistake. I had some strong positives on OPKs until quite late in the cycle so I could have ovulated later and missed it? I'm going to look out for EWCM this cycle as I had no
Idea last cycle,

AF cramps are here🙃 I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for you!x

@amichel ah no sorry to hear that.

I thought with our spotting/bleeding last week we’d get BFP. My bleeding has also slowed right down, it’s red but stringy but isn’t normal.
I feel like all I’ve done for the last week is cramp and be in pain for nothing, my body definitely played me this month

Is this dark for cycle day 1? Not sure whether to start a new thread😅

@Samthenanny I was convinced after the spotting last week😭
Mines not as heavy as usual, also stringy but definitely cramping so it could be full blown AF tomorrow.
My body was cruel this month🥺

@amichel ive no cramping, i had more cramping during and after ovulation, bizzare.
your ovulation test is dark for the 1st day of a new cycle, maybe you are pregnant. Maybe test in a day or 2, let us know if you are x

@amichel did your OPK’s ever lighten much more than that? I remember they were quite dark after your peak too weren’t they? I did the LH test when I got my BFP and it was a blazing positive.
Do you have PCOS? I know constant dark OPK’s could signify that too. But if your cycles are regular then probably not the case

@Samthenanny That is bizarre, I'm having all the usual AF symptoms. Stark negative today, but I'll keep an eye on the flow this week.

@Marie1990x I'll give it another couple of cycles and if it's the same I'll have to call the doctor won't I? From the ovulation strips it looks as thought I've surged about 3-4 in the last cycle. I wonder if my body is gearing up for ovulation each time and it fails.
Cycle length has gone from 27 day, to 25 and last cycle 23. I might try the temp testing to see if that gives me any answers.

Couldn't help myself tested today 1st urine bfn 7/8 dpo. I have woke with a headache this morning and some cramps so hopefully I've not implanted yet 🤞 did anyone else have bfp at this time?

@amichel yeah maybe it was trying to ovulate a couple of times. Our bodies are bizarre things some times aren’t they!

Still no AF for me. I’ve stopped cramping now so doesn’t even feel like it’s on the way anymore. I just want it to arrive now.

I’m wondering if my peak wasn’t a real peak and if I’d have carried on testing would have got a stronger one later, as AF always comes dead on 2 weeks after for me, which would have been yesterday.

How is everyone getting on?

@Marie1990x cramping today can't get comfortable sitting down and feeling hot 🥵 keeping my fingers crossed bought some conceive early pregnancy tests online today will try not to test till nearer my period but it's really hard. I was like you are last month period showed up very late was happy to see it and start again what dpo are you? X

@1stbabyat39 how many dpo are you? It’s soooo hard not to test isn’t it! I admire those people who can wait until AF is due. Fingers crossed for you, keep us updated.

Woke up to AF this morning which I’m happy about, was nervous it would be another long cycle. The last couple have been 30 days so I’m hoping and praying this is my new normal 🤞🏻 x

@Marie1990x I think I'm dpo7 I've ordered some conception plus pregnancy tests early detect ones not sure when I'm due flo app says to test in 10 unless period in 8 so I'm slightly confused when I can early test if I can. It must be a relief knowing you have your period and can try again I was wishing for my period last time cycle 36days just wanted to try again. Baby dust to you for this cycle x

Baby dust to us all TTC this cycle✨

Af has shown up today 😞 going to try different vitamins from the book it starts with an egg and see if this helps no harm in trying. Baby dust to everyone still waiting x

Any updates ladies?x
