***february 2018 testing thread***

I tried no charting for 3 months and it was good but still here.I am going back to the relaxed approach with no charting or opks from next cycle and not going back to opks or temps or anything this was the last cycle doing it and 1 opk left to use tmrw . Good luck !

I'm only 5dpo and my boobs are killing me today!! This isn't normal, so maybe a good sign? Though honestly it's so early that I've probably just gotten my ovulation date wrong... oh well, trying to stay positive and not think about it

 

[Poppy_12]

Going mad today. I’d put my testing day down as 8th as that seemed far enough away from Ov (I’m unsure of my cycle as in all honesty, I hadn’t realised the science behind all of this until I followed you girls - pleased I have!) I had just been BDing every other day thinking that I should hit on lucky?! Lol.

Anyway, I was too tempted and did an earlier test on Friday and BFN. Today boobs are killing even more and feel too sickly this morning for breakfast etc but I think that’s in my head maybe? I don’t know. Holding out for no AF and a re-test on the 8th.

Good luck ladies. Xx

14dpo, 2 days late, testing date was 2 days ago, all bfns since then and sore nipples have dissapeared. Cant reley on temps sa have a cold, tested again earlier. Thought there was something on a superdrug test, tested again with another test few hours later and nada. Just wish AF would hurry up now! Good luck ladies xx

 

[Alexis2017]

Well I think I am 1dpo today but still going to keep dtd every 2nd day so tmrw and Wednesday then we will have covered from cd#9 -cd#19. Then we have did all we can. 3 more cycles left until Thailand then 6 months from when we get home till ivf

Hope everyone is okay who are out. It is so crappy but keep on going! 2018 holds so many BFPs ahead . Good luck for ppl testing this week. I am off work for a week so at least half of the tww will go fast!

 

[Kholl]

So sorry for the bfns ladies. Hope it’s just too early.

Sorry for those who's af's turned up, and those who have bfn's so far there's still time for that to change! Good luck to everyone who's testing this week.

I am 2dpo have pain/cramping in uterus maybe a post ov symptom... It's very uncomfortable, but I've generally not felt great this cycle so figures. Hoping this week goes quick!

 

[Alexis2017]

I am 2dpo and I have nippiness at my left ovary and some heavy feeling in uterus hopefully it's my uterus preparing for a sticky bean. I feel a bit of a crazy hormonal mess today. My temp has been stuck at 36.4 since Saturday(36.0 pre ovulation) and normally rises further to 36.6 or 36.7 so don't think that's good but I often wonder how accurate my temp probe is as it's like 2 years old now and was a cheap one to begin with. I felt much warmer this morning when I woke up. My test was positive cd#14 pm and cd#15 Am and negative by cd#16. I still think there is something wrong with my hormones or something with ovulation even though my day 21 ( actually taken day 23) bloods were 45 and my ovary scan normal. Anyway a bfp would fit for me this month ... I like even numbers and numbers 4 and 8 are a constant in my life. This is 2018 and 14th cycle in the 14th year we have been together and our 4th wedding anniversary this year and I am 34. I like to think numbers and timings have a way of always appearing and meaning something! I can wish.

Good luck we need some BFPs now !

Hi everyone, I am going to join in the testing thread for first time this month. My cycles are quite irregular so hard to predict- first month TTC I was 10 days late! Then I was a day early and it keeps fluctuating so I just can't predict it. So put me down for the 22nd please based on my average cycle! Good luck everyone and sorry to those who are out- hoping 2018 will bring us BFPs.

 

[hannahm987]

I’m 10dpo couldn’t resist and took a pregnant test but got bfn I originally had down the 8th as my test date but I don’t think af is due until Saturday now due to ovulating quite late this cycle

Updated, ladies!

Those who have BFNs, I'll refrain from updating the first page until you get AF/BFP (or unless you want me to). I am holding out hope for BFPs!

How's everyone feeling? Like I said, I have no idea when or whether I ovulated this cycle and I'm feeling decidedly out... that said, I'm sure I'll start testing in a day or 2, ha! If I weren't staying with my parents this week I'd be peeing on things already. It's such a problem...

Good luck everyone!

I’m only 5dpo so still a way to go...I know I can’t realistically start symptom spotting yet but I have been! My boobs are twice the size they usually are and super tender/veiny. I also seem to have a lot of creamy CM which is unusual for me as I usually dry up straight after O. I woke up with a really sore throat this morning and have been having mild cramps/pulling sensations for the past two days - hoping this means something. For some reason, I have a really good feeling about this cycle.

How is everyone else feeling? X

I have all of these very same symptoms! I still have no AF and I’m now 15 days post ov (I think). Was a BFN on Friday gone but gonna re-test on Thursday if there’s no AF.

Symptom spotting is sometimes the worst! Good luck. Xx

 

[MrsBunny]

Feeling frustrated. CD35 and still no clear O - have had signs (ewcm, ov pain), but no temp rise. Have irreg cycles, so trying to keep bd every other day, but losing momentum at this point. I'll be testing on thu/fri, mainly because will be away for a wedding, but pretty certain will be bfn

I'm in the same boat. I've had an "off" cycle, feel like I have been in a constant state of PMS since AF I'm CD19 today, have been feeling irritable, foggy, moody for most of this cycle. This is the first month I have used OPKs and all negative (from CD9-16) - got annoyed and stopped testing haha. CM has been all over the place, with no obvious ewcm this cycle.

Very confident that there will be no BFP this cycle, but will wait and see!

CD20. Nothing exciting to report. Feels like every other month. As we were away at the weekend, it's helped the 2ww pass a bit quicker at least.

 

[WheelDon2]

AF showed the 3rd. Had an off cycle of 32 days...

I ovulate next week. FX this is our cycle!

 

[kj1]

@Poppy_12 oh my gosh, you have the willpower of a goddess not to have tested again over the weekend! I hope this is it for you, 15dpo and no AF sounds very promising. Keep us posted!

@Mrsbunny @pupperini have you tried taking Inofolic? It’s generally for PCOS but also helps with regulating your cycle and increasing egg quality etc. I usually have 70-90 day cycles (have done for the last two and a half years) but I’ve been taking it for almost three months now and I ovulated day 21 this cycle which is absolutely unheard of. I’m not sure if longer cycles are normal for you or what your situation is but I thought I would mention it as I’m a bit of a pessimist the majority of the time (the worst when TTC lol) but I honestly can’t rate this stuff any more highly.

@moomingirl how many DPO are you?

@WheelDon2 sorry about AF, hope you catch the egg next week!

Xx

Quick question - what is everyone’s sentiments on drinking during the TWW? I’m taking the BF away to Budapest Thursday - Sunday as a surprise for his birthday and don’t really want to spend the whole holiday without a drink and then be disappointed if AF arrives that I didn’t relax and enjoy myself. What do you think?

 

[Kay1313]

personally I don’t see a problem. We do everything 100% all month so 1 day won’t hurt.
