Me! AF due on 4th July. Only 3DPO...but already symptom spotting - extra discharge and mild cramping today and yesterday. Month 2 of TTC. Fingers crossed...it'll be a long wait!

Hi I am 1 DPO and third cycle of trying and I have to say I didn’t realise how impatient I was until I discovered the TWW! I am already going mad

I had a miscarriage back I'm october and although we've been trying ever since this is the month I feel most hopefully for. My DS turned 2 last month and I reaaaaalllllly dont want there to be a massive gap, yet also didnt want them close together 😂

Morning ladies! How are you feeling today? I'm either 9 or 10 dpo. I got my lh peak on cb digital advanced ovulation kit 11 days ago but I actually think I ovulated the next day. Not 100% sure. I think I'm due af between Friday and Sunday. I seem to range anywhere between 26 and 33 days atm. I've had sore boobs all week but that isn't unusual for me. Some stomach cramping last night. But nothing else. I've had really sensitive teeth which have never had before. Google says sensitive teeth and early pregnancy are a sign. To be honest this is cycle 18 though of trying. 18 months later you start to spot any tiny sign... I'm thinking of trying pre seed next month??

Hello everyone! I am also in the dreaded TWW. To be honest I’m not sure if this month is really possible for us as I had an early miscarriage just under 3 weeks ago (I was almost 6 weeks). We only DTD once around when I would expect to have ovulated (and had some ovulation symptoms) but I’m really not sure if it’s likely. Possibly around 6 DPO, so jumping on the bandwagon in any case...

Hello! I’m 5 dpo and in my first proper TWW. I’ve been really tired and bloated but trying to put it to the back of my mind as I know it’s not possible to have symptoms so early. I’m going to test on 3rd July and hoping I don’t cave early!

Hi all! I think I’m in my TWW now - I don’t temp or do OPKs but had really sensitive nipples and cramps two days ago, which can be signs of ovulation apparently and would fit with the little I know of my cycles!

We started trying for baby #1 in January, a month after I came off the pill, so I had absolutely no idea of my cycles, however we got pregnant straight away. Unfortunately, I had a MMC, found at my 12 week scan at the end of March and then due to Covid, it took ages to actually do what needed doing so I didn’t have an MVA until 1st May. Took five weeks for my period to come back and here we are, cycle one after the MMC. Apparently cycles can be a bit messed up after a MMC so we started DTD from CD7, straight after my (longer than usual) period and we’re just trying to do it every other day.
So I’m a bit all over the place but we’ll see! I’m not an early tester (I couldn’t face negatives, being uncertain or knowing about a chemical) so reckon I’ll test in a couple of weeks but will see what’s what - see if I get any symptoms or if AF arrives. Until then, I will be distracting myself and also continuing to DTD every other day just in case that wasn’t ovulation with my cycles being messed up!

Sorry, life story there! I look forward to symptom spotting with you all - last time my nipples were the giveaway so am constantly checking them already even though I know it’s still too early 🙈

@therewerefour

Hi @therewerefour I try notnto test early. Purely because I can't cope with the stress. I've never had a chemical but as a nurse I've looked after people that have. I don't think I could deal with a positive and then a negative. I'd rather never have known and just thought normal period... Having said that I hate this wait!! I want to test NOW. I'm on day 26 of my cycle and really want to test but I'm unsure what day my period is due this month. Last month it was day 26. But normally I can be from day 28 to 31. I'll probably wait until Sunday to test if af hasn't arrived. However with all this heat and sweating I keep thinking I've started (tmi!) and going to the toilet to check.

Has anyone got slight cramps twinges at 3dpo? Also everytime I go to the toilet when I wipe its like a spoonful of creamy slightly runny white discharge has anyone had this?

I’m currently in the 2WW (Two week wait) and I just don’t know what to do with myself. This is our first time TTC (trying to conceive) and I’m already trying to symptom spot, despite knowing it’s probably far too too early.

@LollyJ12 I’ve had slight cramps but I’m wondering if I usually have them and just never pay them any attention.

AF is due 5th July so I’ll be testing on the 30th or 1st.

Sending baby dust to you all! 💕💕

@therewerefour when I got my previous BFP before I miscarried I tested a couple of days after my period was due. Next time I’m going to try and wait a little longer if I can.

Hi everyone. I’m 2dpo. Cycles tend to be 32 days ish but I’m not sure I can wait till then (am on cd17 atm). Going to test 4th July I think which will be 12dpo.

feelinghopeful4 like you i wait until after period due. When we was trying for my DS I tested early because i was so certain i was pregnant and it was positive but I'm going to try hold off this time and to be completely honest I've only got one test in the house and haven't been to a shop since before lockdown 😂 ha!

Hello ladies can I join you? Smile I’ve just started my two week wait. It’s my first official ‘we’re trying’ month, my partner is positive but I’ve got PCOS so just can’t make myself feel positive. Had a year of wildly irregular cycles which was out of the norm but it’s all settled now Grin

Think I’m looking at testing on the 6th of July which will be 14dpo if I can last that long

Hi everyone

Can I join?

I'm 32 and TTC baby #1 this is our fourth cycle although we've only just worked out what we are doing on cycle 3 I'd say.

I use the clear blue connected OPK and got my peak on that 6 days ago so I'm considering myself 5dpo but who ever knows!

@LollyJ12 I had those exact symptoms at 3dpo! But I couldn't decide if it was a good or bad thing!

@therewerefour
AF is due on the 3rd July and I will try and wait until then to test if I get lucky enough to get to that date. Whenever I have tested the the disappointment of a BFN is harder for me than AF😢

Sorry to read about those of you that have had to go through a MC xxxx

Hey ladies, I’m also in the tww. Trying for baby no3. I have an irregular cycle, up until last month it ranged from 30-40 days but last month I had af after 23. I don’t track but My app thinks I would of ovulated on the 20th which would make me 4dpo. Been feeling bleugh for the last couple of days backache, on off cramps, nausea and really tired but I think I’m symptom spotting. Trying to hold off testing until 40 days has passed if af doesn’t arrive. Which puts me as testing on the 10th July 😬😬 fingers crossed for everyone

Cycle day 26 (26-31 day cycle normally). I think I ovulated on day 14/15. And today I have seriously bad heartburn and sore boobs. Sore boobs normal for me with pmt but heartburn not. And also really sensitive teeth oddly. I REALLY want to test but I know it's far too early. And also it's 5pm so too late in the day really haha
