Hey, I'm just starting the tww and looking for some friends to join me for the wait. I'll probably test when af is due on the 16th. I've got to the point where I don't know what cycle I'm on - I think it's 8 though!

I meant to say stitch feelings and warm sensations in my lower abdomen!

Hollsers92 · 11/09/2017 07:16

Sorry to hear that @MamOfFrankie.

@Betsyboo87 & @Littleredwagon2308 I've had warm sensations and a stitch like feeling on and off yesterday so decided to POAS this morning at 12dpo but it was a BFN. Still full of the cold :(

I'm not giving up hope until AF arrives though!

Betsyboo87 · 11/09/2017 01:02

Hey SydBound27 good to see you! I hope you're able to relax after the move. I've done moving abroad - being reunited with our belongings after shipping was amazing!

MamOfFrankie so sorry you're out. Look after yourself!

Hollsers92 how are your symptoms? I haven't felt so bloated today so probably wasn't a symptom.

@MamOfFrankie sorry to hear that.

MamOfFrankie · 10/09/2017 19:57

I'm out - AF got me. You think it would have the good grace to at least arrive on time.

Littleredwagon2308 · 10/09/2017 17:31

@SydBound27 Welcome. Be kind to you're Moving is so stressful.

@Hollsers92 how you feeling today?

I've had a pelvic pain in my left side today. I'm 5 DPO. It's not unusual for me to have pelvic pain after ovulation. I hope it's not a AF symptom. AF is in 7 days.

SydBound27 · 10/09/2017 07:24

I recognise a few of you here from last month. Congratulations @three! Lovely news.
I've been ttc #2 since January when i finished bf my dd (was trying since march 2016 but think the bf was getting in the way) so it's been a long old time either way.

I'm 4dpo (used opks and felt it) and dtd the day before, so a slim chance this month. Also moved to Australia from UK last weekend so stress levels are high!

SydBound27 · 10/09/2017 07:14

Hi @betsyboo I'd love to join please!

I'm due af on the 19th so will try and hold out until then. Fingers crossed everyone!

Flyingfruit · 09/09/2017 23:02

So I'm imaginary symptom spotting like mad but also on the count down to AF arriving so could just be pmt. my boobs are sore but definitely in a different way to usual and my nipples are extremely erect- is that a sign?!
I'm trying to convince myself I'm not pregnant and it's only the first cycle and chill out but I'm impatient! 4 days til AF...

Stormcloud10 · 09/09/2017 21:09

Tested this morning at 10dpo and neg so think I'm out now, felt really crap earlier but making myself feel better reminding myself of all the things I can do before I do get pregnant (got a wedding, a party and tickets for Xtreme Scream to look forward to, if you're near Twin Lakes and not upduffed, go, it's brilliant!)
Hope everyone else is doing ok

Hollsers92 · 09/09/2017 20:28

Yeah Betsyboo that's what I'm thinking. I don't want to get my hopes up! I've been feeling terrible all day and really tired. A bit TMI but I've have a very high sex drive too which is unlike me! Yeah I'm trying my best to wait and see if AF arrives. How are you feeling apart from the bloat?

Pumpkinbee · 09/09/2017 18:24

Betsy I am, I've started myself on a wellwoman vitamin range without VITAMIN A. I also have pregnacare already because it was recommended to me when I came off the mini pill to help regulate my periods.

Betsyboo87 · 09/09/2017 15:36

Hollsers92 it's so hard to tell as they could be symptoms of a cold or similar on its way. I hope it's a bfp for you though. It's too early to test so I'm afraid patience is my only advice! I know that is easier said than done though....

I'm still so bloated. It's been about 4/5 days now. Desperately trying not to read into it.

Hollsers92 · 09/09/2017 11:15

Woken up this morning at 10dpo with small cramps again but also a horrible scratchy throat, stuffy nose and tiredness Hmm.
Not too sure what to make of it all. Those are my only symptoms and I'm feeling rather sceptical at the moment. After 3 disappointments so far, I don't want to get my hopes up. Any advice?

Betsyboo87 · 08/09/2017 23:51

Huge congrats threeafter30. Hopefully the first of many on this thread.

I have been drinking during TTC but only the odd glass of wine if we're out to dinner so nothing crazy. After 7+ months I'm just trying to go with the flow!

Pumpkinbee that's a great idea to start prepping. Are you taking folic?

Pumpkinbee · 08/09/2017 15:43

I've instructed DH to bring home my favourite bottle of red now that AF is here. I thought I wouldn't want to hang around the threads here on MN but I've found myself on them constantly checking in on everyone's posts hoping for more BFPs. I also decided to start eating and taking vitamins in prep for when we decide to try. It can't hurt.

ThreeAfter30 · 08/09/2017 13:21

I dont drink much anyway but only had a couple last weekend as it was dps birthday surprise and i was driving home the next morning so i only had a couple of beer.
Thank you @hollsers we are both over the moon. Still really nervous tho as its so early. I have 24/25 day cycles and im only on cd22 today. Wont relax til af is a week late.
Hope to see loads more bfps on here from all you lovely ladies

Hollsers92 · 08/09/2017 12:53

I've not been drinking at all while TTC just in case! My friends and family know that because I'm just married, that my DH and I are trying so they don't say anything luckily! It's really difficult though as I always want a wee taste but have to refrain. Congratulations Threeafter30!!!

sazzle3 · 08/09/2017 12:20

I've been wondering the same with drinking in TWW. I'm godmother on Sunday for my best friends little boy then away next weekend for a long weekend xx

ThreeAfter30 · 08/09/2017 11:46

Thanks everyone! Hers hoping this thread is a lucky one for us all!
@flyingfruit me and dp were away last weekend and i had a few drinks

Littleredwagon2308 · 08/09/2017 11:40

Yeah! @ThreeAfter30 !

@Flyingfruit good Q I have the same one. I've got a celebration this weekend too.

Flyingfruit · 08/09/2017 11:36

Whoop no mistaking that one!
What's everyone doing about drinking while in the TWW? I'm spending the weekend with inlaws for a celebration and don't know whether I should be drinking or not? Too early to test though otherwise I'd do one to put my mind at ease.

EverythingNow · 08/09/2017 11:05

Congratulations Threeafter30 Grin

ThreeAfter30 · 08/09/2017 10:53

Defo no squinting for lines with this!
Thanks so much girls, its still soooo early, af not due til sunday xx

Any mid-sept testers?
sazzle3 · 08/09/2017 10:07
