Hi ladies,

I have been TTC for four months now. I actually didn't realise how stressful this whole experience is. I shouldn't have expected for it to happen straight away but i'm so impatient.

Anyway, would love to see who else is out there to join me on my TWW. I used CB ovulation tests this month and dtd the day before ovulation. I had an HSG last month and my tubes are all clear so that's good to know.

I am only about 2dpo. Obviously no symptoms the only thing worth mentioning is I have been getting these weird gurgling/popping noises in my stomach. It's SO strange I've never had this before. Maybe it's because I'm drinking lots of pineapple juice which I never normally do, who knows! What are you all doing to keep yourself occupied and not obsessing over this tww?!

I've booked my first acupuncture session this Friday so hopefully that will help de-stress me! Good luck to you all, would love to hear your stories x

GreyC oh no really hope it's just implantation cramping for you!

I'm only 2dpo here but feeling so optimistic this cycle. I'm a bag of nerves and feel so anxious about it but I just feel like this cycle will be the one!

GreyC · 20/10/2018 19:48

I hate the TWW!!
Not due on for 9-10days; but pretty sure I’m gearing up for AF already :( a few tell tale crampings and such things.

Dianebz1 · 20/10/2018 19:19

@TwinkleDay when are you due? Congrats I think you might be due the same time as me ☺️ baby dust to you all, good luck xx

closedcircuit · 20/10/2018 19:01

@PinkBlue1985 hoping it goes well for you!

@houseplantinvasion yeah ive had those super faint lines and then AF showing up. I was getting a bit too upset at those so have tried not to test until its due. I'm anxious this month though if i get to 10DPO it'll be a miracle lol.

HouseplantInvasion · 20/10/2018 14:01

Oh and also I am a complete POAS-aholic......may have already tested this morning even though it’s completely impossible Blush.

I will say though, for the last few months I have tested each time from 7dpo onwards (even though I wasn’t officially trying lol), and each month I’ve had a couple of ic’s and even frer tests that have shown a definite but super faint, so faint I couldn’t really tell the colour, and then af arrived on time each month. So please do be careful testing early unless You can take a super faint line with a pinch of salt!

HouseplantInvasion · 20/10/2018 13:54

Hi all, can I join you?
I’m ttc#3, its our first cycle of actually trying although we’ve been “not not trying” for a few months. I’m not too confident, as I had a pos OPK on Monday afternoon, and DH was away that night so couldn’t DTD until Tuesday (and the time before at the weekend we had a location error for the main event Blush). But anyway I’m 4dpo I think, and have sore boobs and lots of spots coming, but I always tend to get those between ov and af so who knows!

PinkBlue1985 · 20/10/2018 13:15

@ReginaPhalange89 sorry to hear about the BFN. It sucks but stay positive it will happen!

I'm 9DPO today, think im going to test tomorrow morning. Reason, I have had a lot of symptoms e.g flu cold, pinching, craving salt and I got a pimple today which is unusual for me! So praying its not my AF coming but will def update you either way x

closedcircuit · 20/10/2018 12:53

Going to jump on this thread. 6th cycle trying and 3 dpo today. Trying to keep a positive mindset but not feeling confident. We gave it a full 100% effort this month amd am exhausted!

Barker26 · 20/10/2018 12:48

Can I join you? Im 11dpo today although my cycles range between 25 and 28 so could be less dpo if I ovulated later.. I dont test or use opks. I tested with a frer this morning and bfn... losing the will ! And this is only our second cycle !

Lauraliverpool · 20/10/2018 10:47

Just looked at my fertility monitor and it says I can test for pregnancy and af due in 3days, I'm going to be strong and wait until then, just going to have to tie my hands together! X

ashers89 · 20/10/2018 10:33

Hey ladies sorry to all those that think their AF is coming. This waiting game is no fun 😒

I'm about 6dpo got a sore throat and woke up with stuffy nose but that could be just a cold coming. Went to acupuncture yesterday which was so good and relaxing I deffo recommend it. I saw all these thank you cards in their reception room from women that got pregnant with the help of acupuncture so I'm going to weekly sessions!

Good luck to you all. Can we have another BFP in this thread please? 😊

Lauraliverpool · 20/10/2018 10:07

I started with back ache yesterday which usually means AF might be on the way, I'm hoping not though, according to Flo app AF due to start 23rd of October which I know is just an estimate. I'm hoping for a bfp this month. X

ReginaPhalange89 · 20/10/2018 08:29

Any bfps today ?

13dpo here and nothing. Pretty sure I'm out ! AF due tomorrow and I'm cramping so I'm sure it's on the way. Boo! I had mostly cramping on my left side yesterday so wondered if it could be late implantation but I doubt it

ReginaPhalange89 · 19/10/2018 13:12

I used a first response this morning which I'm pretty sure was negative but then I got some cheapies through the post , one step ones but they're apparently as sensitive as the frers. I don't know I just thought I'd heard some people don't test with fmu. Probs clutching at straws , I'm sure AF will arrive tonight lol

TwinkleDay · 19/10/2018 13:04

Baby dust to you all, thank you so much, I’m currently still dazed at work and I do currently have 2 spots on my chin and I’m sure the rash round my mouth I have had for 2 months is from the folic acid supplements ... it’s so annoying... better than facial herpes !! With all this action I’ve been having!!! Lol it’s going to be lovely to tell family if I’m ok and not too round for Xmas hoping to be 13 weeks then xxx Halo

sav89 · 19/10/2018 12:54

ReginaPhalange89 This damn light is shining on my computer screen so I can't even see it properly! But if you can see a faint line this is good!! What test did you use?

sav89 · 19/10/2018 12:52

PinkBlue1985 You are absolutely right, thank you. I'm going to wait until atleast 10DPO. Im nervous already lol

ReginaPhalange89 Argh it's so frustrating isn't it. Well IF you are out this month don't stress too much just look at it as if you have a brand new chance coming up. I'm sure it won't take you long.

ReginaPhalange89 · 19/10/2018 12:24

Ended up doing another that with smu... Anyone see the line I'm seeing ? I accidentally broke it so took it out 🙈 but o swear I could see a line before I opened it up

ReginaPhalange89 · 19/10/2018 11:22

Also have lower back pain which I'm not sure about, can't remember if I've had that before when AF is due 🙈

ReginaPhalange89 · 19/10/2018 11:09

@sav89 not yet! Today is CD28, but my cycles have been between 28-30 days so not sure what day I'm expecting her ! Lol
12dpo today - test still negative. I've had quite a lot of cramping today so I think I'm out this month tbh :( the witch is probably on her way ! So sad, I'd really got my hopes up that we'd be really lucky and get pregnant first try again! Was a bit silly wasn't it lol

PinkBlue1985 · 19/10/2018 10:59

@sav89 fingers crossed!

do not test before 10DPO I made this mistake last 2 times and was disappointed! Just try to contain yourself until day 10 at least!

sav89 · 19/10/2018 10:53

PinkBlue1985 omg it really sounds good. I know you don't want to get your hopes up but these could all be symptoms. I have read that a lot of women have become ill in their tww before getting BFP so stay positive!

OP posts:
PinkBlue1985 · 19/10/2018 10:50

I have cramps still, praying its not AF!!!!

PinkBlue1985 · 19/10/2018 10:49

@sav89 its so tempting I'm 8DPO, yesterday I felt ill in the morning a bit of nausea and stabbing pain lower right side. Lastnight I was so ill!!! temperature, back aches, leg aches and hot hot flashes I couldn't sleep! Woke up my partner a few times! I had a spot of orange yesterday at work, just hope its not my AF coming early. It can be symptoms of pregnancy but not convinced until I test, I feel better today but still feel run down.

sav89 · 19/10/2018 09:37

ReginaPhalange89 Any sign of AF? Tell her she isn't welcome!!
