3dpo here 🙋🏼 Anyone wanna join me for the TWW?

@Bethany0903 fingers crossed for you hon xxx

Thanks for tip re meditation. I try and visualise little egg implanting and take deep breaths thinking about it- don't know f works but I like to stay positive.

I caved and bought some frers and ic's from Amazon today so that I would have them in ready for 12dpo

Some arrive tomorrow omg how am I going to resist testing until 12dpo now ....

Might go to bed soon so I wake up 8dpo :)

Hey Bethany. Sorry to hear about your mc. Hope this month is your month!

Fee1234 - I will definitely give that a go, thanks for the recommendation. Anything to chill me the heck out would be good.

Can I join in guys! Waiting until 25th to test as my af is due then 😩 hoping after our miscarriage 2 month ago this month we have concieved baby number 3! The long wait is killing me!

Tested today at 10dpo with a free, bfn. Not too hopefully about this month for me!😔

I did one of the two week wait YouTube meditations last night and it really helped calm my mind and stopped me obsessing for ten min! Going to try and do it each day

I bloody hate the waiting!

7dpo today and still cramping, mostly one sided but occasionally all over uterus. Tired. Grumpy. Having crazy dreams. Occasional sharp shooting pains in my boobs but otherwise not sore.

I've already talked myself into testing on Friday at 11dpo rather than originally on Saturday at 12dpo 🤦‍♀️

Feeling grumpy today. Properly stroppy and trying not to take it out on people. Not sure if it's the stress of waiting or tiredness or what but I'm not my usual self at all. It's another 10 or so days until AF is due. I can't take the waiting!

Aahhhh symptom spotting but 7dpo and I've got a sore throat. Obviously I've googled which tells me 100% I must be pregnant lol

Anyone else got a sore throat

Five more days before I'll let myself rest...

Hi @dosmummas

I've also used donor sperm via iui this month.

When I got my surge I called my fertility clinic and went in the next day, the assumption being I would ovulate the day after surge.

So you can can count days post iui/insemination (I'm 6dpiui ) but for ease on this thread I refer to 6dpo

So it depends I suppose when you detected surge/ thought your partner ovulated? Did you inseminate the day you thought she was ovulating? If so I would say you were 2dpo ( Saturday being your first day post ovulation)

Wishing you luck xxxx

Hi girls, me and my partner (same sex) had our first ever AI on Friday the 14th from our gorgeous donor. Would this make make my partner (who is going to carry) 2dpo or 3dpo? This is our very first attempt, we only had one insemination. AF is due 27th, honoured to be on this TWW with you. Lots of love and hope to all of you.

Extra information: 32 year olds, my partner in previous relationships has conceived and miscarried x3 once with twins. Every month she has cramping on both ovaries and has quite moderate spotting around ovulation. Currently she is only taking pre-Natals and small dose aspirin we used some preseed during insem as she has never produced much CM. Due to her history of MC she is very superstitious about symptom spotting and getting ahead of ourselves. But I have to say either it's all psychological but she has had constant mild cramping since yesterday, no energy and fatigued, gassy and peeing no joke, every 15 to 20 minutes. I know it's waaaaay too early but it's nice to notice a few things out of the norm for her.

@Stormwhale @Beautifulblue @rollerskaterdata

Thanks. Disappointed but there's always next month

Hey ladies! Im not due af for another 10 days but today had brown discharge so not a clue why that is! Really crampy as well they feel different from af cramps 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Beautifulblue oh no, no pressure then! So glad it worked for you too though. If it doesn't work for me I think I'm going to be seriously wondering what's wrong with me then 😣

@SophiePie sorry AF got you, have a large glass of 🍷 and fx for next month x

I caught myself thinking I’m so tired and ready for bed. Yes, had a long day out with the kids. But ready for bed? My first symptom spotting of this month 😀 last pregnancy one week before my p was due I was sleeping by 8pm every night. It only 6:30pm and i am looking forward to bed! I am due to get spotting tomorrow, as that is how my periods begin is with 2-3 days of spotting. Crossing fingers Tomorrow will be a no show 😀

I'm only 3/4dpo so I can't be feeling symptoms. But I've decided my body doesn't enjoy the surge in progesterone we get post ovulation! I slept for 13 hours last night! Everything I've eaten this morning tastes like shit! Had the exact same thing last month! Silly hormones. The TWW is too long!

I'm now 3dpo and testing on 26th when I should be 14dpo. If I can hold out that long!! Will probably cave with a few IC tests about 10 or 11dpo knowing me...

Sorry to hear that Sophie. Good luck for next month.

I think I'm out for this month- AF seems to have appeared at the last minute :( Good luck to you all, ladies

I'll be testing on the 22nd at 12dpo, AF due 24th/25th. I can't bear the thought of waiting until AF due or late I'm too impatient!

@Stormwhale we used preseed for the first time this cycle (on cycle #2 TTC #2). Heard so many good reviews about it, majority of women seem to conceive first time using it, or using conceive plus which is pretty much the same. I hope it's worked but silly as it sounds I'm also terrified of being one of those women it doesn't work for first time just because the success rate with first time use seems to be so high!! Could also be biased reporting though (that's what I'll be telling myself if if doesn't work!)

I'm going to test on the 28th if af hasn't arrived. Trying not to symptom spot already. I don't want to get my hopes up!

If this month doesn't see us getting our bfp we are going to try one of the conception lubes. Is anyone else using one?

@onemorewish I have been having cramps for the last day or so. It logically can't be anything pregnancy related, it's far too early, but I can't help but hope!

@beautifulblue I'm 25th too, but AF is due, so if I manage to hold out until then I'll maybe get my BFN from AF's arrival! Hope not!

@Beautifulblue I love the idea of a scanner to see what's going on in there! I've watched that fertilisation clip a few times and it would be amazing if you could see it happen in your own body.

@rollerskaterdata I love your attitude .

I had iui twice to get pregnant with first baby so watched for every sign. I don't think I had typical symptoms though (cramps, dizzy,big boobs etc ) I remember feeling very wet down there around 12dpo which is why I tested but can't remember what cm was like the rest of the time post ovulation.

Cramps have been annoying me more than anything as I know they can't be pregnancy symptom but every now and then it feels a bit like a flutter and reminds me of when I felt dc1 move in my tummy

I hope I get a bfp...

Baby dust to all x

I second that, I had absolutely no symptoms with my son either. I only thought to take a test because I realised my period was 5 days late, and low and behold got a blazing positive! Although I wonder...maybe we would have had symptoms if we went looking for them? I wasn't trying with him so was carrying on as normal!
