Hi girls

Thought it might be useful to start a thread to get all those of us who are down to our last week of the tww together and who are going to start testing soon!

Let the symptom sharing etc begin and let's pour all our best wishes in for plenty of bfps this coming week!

Who's with me?

Hey Mamas to be ... hopefully !
Sending lots of positive vibes for this horrendous wait !
@mamabear05 I’m 8dpo too and did a test this morning BFN obviously haha 🤦🏼‍♀️ ! I just hate waiting !!! I am only 5days off AF though as I have short cycles 😩.

I just want to say to everyone not to worry if you have no symptoms. I absolutely believe everyone’s symptoms are completely valid. However, don’t be disheartened if you have none. I feel sometimes in this tww we become completely self aware and more heightened to every little change in our bodies, which can also be heightened by our emotional state also. Eg stressing causes nausea and delayed AF. People can be pregnant with or without symptoms so keep yourselves positive and try and relax to create a nice homely environment for our little hopefully fertilised eggs !!

Haha I let me DH onto a few bits but he'd think I was crazy if he actually knew how much of my mind it was consuming at the min. Very unhealthy I know!!!

So last night I had the weirdest mixed up dream and started feeling nauseous as soon as I brushed my teeth this morning. Tested like I knew I shouldn't have with at ic and got a BFN. Knows it's totally too early at 8dpo but at least I know the nausea isn't being caused by any hcg so can stop dreaming all day haha.

Just arrived at work so got at least 7.5 hours to convince myself that there is no point in stopping at boots on the way home and picking up a frer for the morning when I'll be 9dpo.......

I managed to hold off testing this morning at 8dpo, v proud of myself. Having these threads helps as i have to get my kicks from checking every morning whether anyone else has tested lol. It’s also so nice as you can’t really talk to anyone about it in RL other than DH who doesn’t get the all consuming nature of it all. Good luck everyone!!

Hi. I am 9dpo according to Flo so due AF on Friday - Sunday (my cycles vary in length) We have been trying since October and I woul love this to be our month. I have also had mild indigestion but have also been emotional, so AF could be on the way. I hate the waiting! We are going to try OPKs next cycle if AF does arrive. Fx for bfps for all of us.

Joining this thread If I may please Smile
Ttc number 1
MC November 2017

AF due Thursday. However my cycle has changed since MC and has been around 21 days so not sure if it will change again this month! Been symptom spotting and driving myself insane, however got a BFN yesterday Sad guess I’ll just have to wait for AF now..
Love hearing all your stories ! X

Potkettleblack2 · 22/01/2018 06:36

I've been googling every symptom too! This wait is driving me crazy! I tested this morning (I'm not sure when I ovulated, but in 28 day cycle with assumption I ovulated on day 14, I'm 10 dpo). It was negative. I am using internet cheapie, not sure if I should get a 'better' test for later in the week.

Welcome all!!!! Positive vibes all round. I have that very low level cramping too but it's only slight. Convinced it's AF getting ready to board her train but could be implantation...who knows 😂

toryalane · 21/01/2018 22:37

I’m 7dpo too. TTC #1. Please Can I join? Have been madly googling implantation cramps for the last two hours as have mild, low cramping. I might test Wednesday. Though I’m “January skint” so l’ll have to do it with the single crappy cheapie I think 💭 have knocking around somewhere.

Potkettleblack2 · 21/01/2018 22:36

I'm 9 DPO (I think). I just want to know! I am very crampy but think I'm just being hyper-sensitive! Good luck everyone!

Jessabean · 21/01/2018 22:35

Forgot to say fingers crossed for BFPs for everyone- hopefully the painful 2WW will be worth it for us all!

Jessabean · 21/01/2018 22:32

Ok if I can join as well? Think I'm about 8/9dpo at the moment (first cycle post mc so who knows really though!).
Been having insane nausea & cramping last couple of days and today that same smell to my urine I remember from last time ...though just finished course of abx for UTI so could all be that! Caved this morning and did a FRER like a numpty which was BFN! 🙈 trying to last out to Thursday now but not sure if I have the will power!

Love2cook · 21/01/2018 22:19

Me too! I'm 7dpo, not sure about symptoms as it's my first cycle TTC, loads of CM yesterday and today though if that can mean anything?

I'm not testing until after af due if I can help it!!

Baby dust and wishes for bfp's all round!

Owlpatrol · 21/01/2018 22:19

I know I'm dying to as well in the Morning!

Probably me but I really really shouldn't....I'll only be 8dpo lol 😂 🙈😂🙈 I have ZERO will power. Satisfies my curiosity though...hence why I only use ics!!! I am very very much going to TRY and wait until Wednesday though and test with @Owlpatrol

OP posts:
AmazingGrace16 · 21/01/2018 21:50

Good luck ladies! I think I'm 2dpo so not quite the same timings but I'm keeping everything crossed I'll be able to add a bfp into the mix soon!

surreygirl1987 · 21/01/2018 21:47

I'm on 7-9dpo (FF is unsure) and I'm going CRAZY! Feel like this month HAS to be the month - which is nonsense as there's the same chance each month .. but I've been trying since the summer so feel like it's about time a bfp happened!

I have annoying cramps (always get that in run up to AF though) and a fair bit of milky discharge which I've never noticed before. Who's testing tomorrow morning, ridiculously early as it is?

mamabear05 · 21/01/2018 21:27

We will get our BFP's (and they'll be sticky ones)....law of attraction and all that jazz lol

@Celebelly that was definitely me last month. I was exhausted before my bfp...went to bed at 8:30pm for 3 nights in a row, had that pinching feeling and the smell (think that might have been down to a uti though haha). It's sounding promising for you! Still early for testing though but not impossible if you're using a frer and implanted early. Good luck and please update when you do x

OP posts:
Owlpatrol · 21/01/2018 21:25

Possibly Wednesday I'm dying to test though . Ill know by Wednesday if af is coming or not. At due next weekend sometime or the Monday after xx

Celebelly · 21/01/2018 21:22

Fingers crossed for everyone! Sure we will have some graduates Smile

Fingers crossed for all! Hopefully the week won't drag too much. When is everyone testing? Wednesday for me 🤞🤞🤞

OP posts:
Celebelly · 21/01/2018 21:22

Let's see:

Extreme exhaustion last two days
Pulling/pinching feeling in lower abdomen and general 'heaviness' that I've never experienced before
Hugely increased appetite*
Boobs so sore that I'm in agony when the dog brushes against them*
For the last couple of days, my pee has reeked!

I might use a FRER tomorrow even tho it's still early. I used one yesterday and saw the faintest of faint lines, but it might have just been a shadow or indent.
