Starting now as some of us will be in the TWW in April now ☺️

and I’m just so confused with my cycle. I’m cd23 and I never got my peak last week testing but I did have a day last week where I had very light pink blood when wiping twice CD18 but i totally thought nothing of it then the next day I felt what i thought was ovulation cramps but now im questioning it. I could have ovulated earlier and just missed my peak. I did use to ovulation around CD 13/14 before my miscarriages and I had EWCM CD13! And then to top it off I woke up yesterday and I was sick and again this morning whilst brushing my teeth and that’s exactly how it started with my first pregnancy with my daughter. I started being sick a week before my missed period which sounds crazy to people but it honestly happened. I had terrible sickness with her lol but I don’t want to get my hopes up

I’m wondering what test to pick up, ive heard different things about all of them being good/bad, do you recommend any?

its just so faint that I feel like i’m seeing things, I expected more at 12dpo but im not sure if thats because ive been watching too many videos of others getting theirs😂

Ohhh this sounds promising, its possible, some people have really short peaks so you couldve missed it and ovulated sooner, i know some people say to watch cm over anything

🤞🏼 for you x

I don’t where you are from but I’ve always got CB when my AF is due or I’ve always used B&m clear&simple ones and never ever had a problem with them! Only £1.50 for 2

I’m in the UK🥰, I’ll give anything a go at this point🤣🤣! AF due on Wednesday ish so i’ll try hold out til after then I think, I’m driving myself crazy 🫠😩

its so hard not to want to keep testing though isn’t it. Soon as you see a slight line you want to keep doing tests to see the progression

Its impossible because its such an uncertain line right now it could be something or nothing and I feel like im just lying to myself too😭 its all I can think about and I have so many work deadlines to meet and my minds just on wanting to know😩

@Butterflygirl23 you could have ovulated earlier for sure. And I don't think it's crazy to feel symptoms much sooner than a BFP. Keeping fingers crossed. When will you test?

@devma I can mayyybe see a vvvvvfl on the inverted photo but will be clearer in 48 hours. The boots early response are my preferred early tests, similar to FRER but the CB digitals are best when the lines are inconclusive.

I want to test today 😂 because i could pretentiously be 9/10dpo but I just don’t know!

I am 7DPO and FRER says I can test tomorrow. So I may do that, though sensible me says I should wait till 10DPO as that's when I got a BFP last time. I felt very moody at 5DPO which is unlike me so Googled it and my search history showed I had searched the exact same thing 2 cycles ago which was a BFN, and my app also had the same symptoms recorded at 5DPO for a BFP cycle Why do pregnancy and PMS have the same symptoms - such a design flaw!

@Butterflygirl23 Sensible me says best to wait but I know that's really hard when it's so easy to POAS! Maybe an early test if you will do it.

Yeah they are so alike symptoms are which is a pain. I got a positive 10dpo in December even on an evening wee but yeah il probably wait because i really don’t think this month is the month

@Butterflygirl23 oooo this is exciting, fingers crossed for a BFP for you!!!. I think we must have ovulated at a similar time but both just missed our peaks this month somehow.

@2Sugars2when do you think you ovulated? I definitely missed my peak which is annoying but like I’ve said I’ve been pregnant 3 times and 2 of those I didn’t even track ovulation

9 or 10DPO and blank test. I’m really ill at the minute and seeing this has made me feel like I’m in a dark hole. It’s so hard seeing blank tests 😩

I think I am around 7/8DPO which would mean my peak would have been around CD11/12. But unlike you, I do not have any symptoms at all. I'm due AF in a weeks time.

I think I’m going to off what my app says I’m 5dpo today and ovulation happened last Wednesday. As I did feel ovulation cramps on the Thursday so who knows. Il probably test Friday lol

Aww don’t be too hard on yourself! 9/10 is still early you still have a chance x

@Butterflygirl23 aw thank you lovely ☺️ month 1 back to it and it just hurts doesn’t it xx

Just found this thread. Congrats to all those getting their bfp! Amazing news and so nice to see! I’m 3dpo… feel like I’ve already been waiting weeks!! 😬

Hello you are roughly so same as a few of us! When’s your af due? Good luck this cycle x

Aw good, pleased there are some at the same stage 😊 AF due around 24th. My cycles vary between 31-35 days.

We had a mc in August and just starting again to Ttc our 2nd. DD always asking for a sibling!

Hi all. I’ve been unwell with a bad cough and headache. Thankfully just seems to be a common cold, but I had full-blown flu/covid in Feb, so it feels like I’ve been unwell for ages. My question is… would you still try with a cold? Can it affect things?

I've also caught this horrible head cold going about atm and wondering if this will affect my chances! I'm 2 or 3 dpo I think and beginning to feel slightly better but can't help but wonder if that's going to be an issue for me, noticed my bbt is lower than it normally would be post ovulation comparing to my previous months.

@Greengardener1Maybe it could mess with cycle. I’ve had EWCM tonight and I’m only CD9. That would be very early for me!
