TWW - anyone else testing in early March?

590 replies

I'm just starting the dreaded TWW and could use some company. All the other threads on this seem to have reached the testing stage already.

I am 2-3 dpo and planning to test on 4 March. We have been TTC for about 18 months and are getting fertility treatment. I am pretty sure I ovulated this month though, so I have have high hopes for this cycle.

I've had stabby pains on and off for a couple of days - but that could be wind!

Quite a high temp change today so definitely into the tww.

Andysgirl15 · 23/02/2017 09:48

Morning ladies. How are we all. So I'm now 3dpo and I tested (no judging haha) obviously BFN but I couldn't resist. New symptom this morning, weird Pulling sensation near left ovary so hoping it's a good sign :-)

ethelfleda · 23/02/2017 06:54

Hello everyone and good luck to you all! dangle I reckon this month might be your month Smile

dangle90 · 23/02/2017 06:47

Hello everyone 👋🏼! Laughing at us all symptom spotting, asif you only starting symptom spotting 2 hours after ovulation mine was more like 30 seconds WinkGrin even though I've been getting pains I think my minds probably playing tricks and it will be BFN again next weekend!

Ommletta35 · 22/02/2017 21:57

Waving hi to everyone,
We have been trying to decide whether to go for our last baby or not and made the decision to go for it. I'm 35 and we already have 3 DC.
Ovulation due today or tomorrow but I am pretty sure I felt ovulation pains earlier this afternoon.
Best of luck to everyone.

Bull3116 · 22/02/2017 21:38

Can I join?

I'm 30, TTC1, Cycle 6 and now CD13.

I ovulated today so just starting the 2ww. Already symptom spotting which is utterly ridiculous but I can't help it Confused

Andysgirl15 · 22/02/2017 21:35

Unthoughtknown I think your probably the only woman ttc that hates POAS . I have hundreds of cheapies and it's so hard not to POAS even though I know it's far too early. There's 2 years between my DD and DS and its really great, she adores him so much and tries to do everything such as feeding, nappies, burping etc lol. We involved her in everything when I was pregnant like scans and midwife apps to try and 'tone down' the sibling jealousy but looks like we didn't need to as she's really took to him.

Megsmog- your not the only one symptom spotting. I've been doing it since about 2 hours after ovulation haha I kid of course but I'm so excited as I'm sure you are too :-)

Unthoughtknown · 22/02/2017 21:27

I'll join 2ww/symptom spotting band wagon. I'm thinking I ovulated either Sat/Sun or Mon, will probably test if no AF by 8 March. (I hate hate POAS so no temptation for me to do it before). This is cycle 2 TTC #2. This is the cycle that would give us an exactly 2 year age gap, so I will be upset when AF turns up

MegsMog · 22/02/2017 21:26

Room for one more? CD18 here. AF due March 4th.

We're not officially TTC #2 yet (will start using OPKs March / April if nothing happens before then) but DTD unprotected on CDs 8 and 13 so obviously I'm now symptom spotting 😒

I've also been feeling nauseous since CD13 which is not helping!! I know it's far too early for actual pregnancy symptoms but I can't think for the life of me what would be causing it.

Andysgirl15 · 22/02/2017 21:21

Oooh can I join. I'm 2dpo due to test on the 2nd when I'll be 10dpo. First month ttc #3 got a clear + with DS on 10dpo so hoping it goes the same way this time.

Been cramping all day long today (secretly hoping it's from the fallopian tube pushing the egg) yesterday morning was even worse, really sharp stabbing pains in left and right ovary...weird...... and shooting pains ..... Tmi .. . up my butt and hoohaa lol

Got some stuff happening over this next week to keep me busy, house hunting, driving test, in laws visiting etc so a pretty busy week for me. Should keep me from obsessing over POAS :-)

ethelfleda · 22/02/2017 21:18

If only! So frustrating that we are supposed to just relax and let nature take its course as it's so difficult to do!

dangle90 · 22/02/2017 20:59

If only we could switch off eh Ethel! But like you say only time will tell! X

ethelfleda · 22/02/2017 20:57

Hi stephy Smile

I'm good thanks dangle and you?
Symptom spotting yes but still trying to figure out if I've ovulated! Lol
I've had to step away from DR Google to try and chill myself out! Lol
Time will tell 😊

dangle90 · 22/02/2017 19:50

I've been the same today with right side pains and the odd abdominal twinge! Prob be nothing! Hopefully we can all stay away from poas too early! I've got a while yet, 9/10 says... not that I'm counting Wink

AnyFarrahFowler · 22/02/2017 19:41

I'm trying not to symptom spot but I've had a few sharp pains on my right side - again, hoping they were signs of implantation. So far I haven't wee'd on any sticks!

I got two really strong and sharp pains this evening, one right after the other. Got my fingers crossed that they were implantation related.

Hi Stephylou 👋🏼

dangle90 · 22/02/2017 17:17

How is everyone today? Symptom spotting no doubt 😂

stephylou87 · 22/02/2017 11:45

Hi all can I join in Smile AF due Saturday so I'm a little ahead but the extra company whilst waiting would be great Grin

sweetandsaltypopcorn · 22/02/2017 11:28

Wow satsoooma you are so organised. I really hope you get your BFP soon Smile

My graph is basically a timeline with different colours for periods, spotting, OPKs, when i start/stop different different fertility drugs, get a blood test, or have my ovaries scanned. It also has every time we DTD though, so no way are you seeing it Buddah Grin

Hii can I join? Halo

We're not officially TTC until April, but we've dtd all over my fertile week so I'm in the 2WW too, it's so frustrating isn't it? I'm due on the last day of the month so will be testing on 1st of March, if AF hasn't got me before.

Hope we fall quickly as I do not have the patience or organisation skills for charting, OPK's etc!

ethelfleda · 21/02/2017 16:30

Hi Amyfarah love the user name! Promising myself I won't test early but I have a load of Internet cheapies in the bathroom cupboard plus ONE FRER so temptation will be high!

Yes Dangle you're quite right! I think I will just stop stressing and try and relax during the 2ww (and jump on DH later, just in case 😉)

dangle90 · 21/02/2017 16:10

Sounds confusing Ethel! Where meant to be keeping ourselves stress free but it's so hard when your constantly symptom spotting early testing ect ect!

AnyFarrahFowler · 21/02/2017 15:48

I'll join! I'm due to test 4th March as well. Stupidly kept testing too early last month and of course kept getting BFN every time. I will NOT be doing that this month!
Good luck everyone!
