Anyone in the TWW???

691 replies

Hi everyone,

So as the title says is there anyone in the TWW?
DH and I said we would try for number 2 after summer but whoops we've had a couple of slips. I looked at my ovulation app (which has never failed me before to get pregnant) and both times it was in my fertile days.

So here's the confusion.. I apparently was in my fertile days from 8th-13th June.
13th June being the day of ovulation. We DTD 8th June and 11th June. The last couple of days I have had very bad cramps low down. This can't be implantation yet so was it ovulation pains? My CM was snot like some of it thick but also some of it was slippery too sorry TMI!! am so confused, feeling I've missed the boat.
This TWW is stressful. I've never temped or taken OPK's as it's always been quite easy for me to fall pregnant (I've had a lot of miscarriages Sad)
We are lucky enough to have a DD though.
DH is actually quite excited that we could be pregnant but I just don't know and feeling quite impatient!

Love to hear from you guys and your stories too!

@RoRosmama 🤞🏻 you won't have to!

@ClaraLane welcome! It's still super early so I wouldn't worry too much 😁

ClaraLane · 19/06/2019 12:30

Can I join please ladies! AF due on Saturday 22nd and O was last Monday so I'm currently 9 DPO but getting negatives. I'm really hoping this is my month - we DTD 5 times leading up to O so fingers crossed!

Treaclepie19 · 19/06/2019 12:29

@LA89 that sounds a good idea!
I'll definitely be testing by friday as we have a wedding that day.

@LA89 I'm exactly the same as you. AF due 28th so want to hold out and test then! If I do cave then it will be a couple of days before like you so 26th
@Abi58 I shall be tapping you up for how this all works if not successful this month

Abi58 · 19/06/2019 12:18

@Treaclepie19 it really is feel like I can't win, I want to know but then I don't want to go through the heartbreak again 😩 i need to hide my tests 😂

That sounds good that's the earliest I will test but hoping to hold our til the Friday or day next week

Temping does help! Finally got my bbt this morning without is being questionable (not enough sleep or waking to early lol) and was raised so I definItely ovulated 😁

And @RoRosmama I'm not expert but done it for 2 months and read loads about it so if you have any questions I'm happy to help if I can

@LA89 sounds like a great idea did me to the list
Af due sat 29th based on 14 days after ov
I want to hold to test until 29th ....28th at the earliest but will need help holding out that long! I'll be tempted from Tuesday 😂

LA89 · 19/06/2019 11:48

Shall we have a list of when we're all planning to test/when AF is due ladies? So we know when everyone is planning for?

AF is due Friday 28th for me based on 14 DPO

I know I won't hold out that long so planning to do a FRER test probably Wednesday the 26th so 1 week today.

What are you guys doing?

Praying for a tonne of BFPs on this thread!

Treaclepie19 · 19/06/2019 11:36

@RoRosmama I used to temp when we were trying with our 3yo. Definitely worth a go :)
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this month but if not at least I have a plan.

@Treaclepie19 temping sounds like a good idea. I don't even know if I ovulated for sure. It's just what my app has predicted. I will certainly be looking into temping when we start properly trying, that's if this month we aren't successful.

OP posts:
Treaclepie19 · 19/06/2019 11:13

Should say, I've always had a 9/10 day luteal phase in the past.
Next month I'm temping!! Can't deal with not knowing.

Treaclepie19 · 19/06/2019 11:12

@Abi58 its all such a worry isn't it?!

I'm probably going to test on Tuesday because that's the day AF is due. I'd prefer to hold out for a few days after though in case my cycle is a bit longer. Not sure it's completely settled down from my last pregnancy.

Abi58 · 19/06/2019 11:08

@Treaclepie19 I'm 4 and it feels so long away. Ideally needs to be Saturday I test but I'm worried I'll cave at 10 again....just know I'll want to know but if I get an early positive again I won't be happy as I'll just be worried it will happen again 😩🤦🏻‍♀️
You going to test on Friday next week that will be 14dpo if you're 5 now?

Treaclepie19 · 19/06/2019 10:48

@Abi58 just recounted and I might be 5dpo 🙈 😭
Hurry up testing day!
I have my fingers crossed for all of us.

Abi58 · 19/06/2019 10:42

@Treaclepie19 🤞🏻 for you 😁
Cramps at 6dpo sounds like a good sign 🤞🏻

@RoRosmama sorry I missed your earlier message!
Awww I was sneezing loads yesterday and today am a bit stuffy! Yes yes flutters! I'm not getting other pains yet but we'll see! Boob things sounds good as it's not the norm for you! Hope it's our month! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@LA89 unusual is a good sign 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Treaclepie19 · 19/06/2019 10:30

@RoRosmama it could be!
We need to just fast forward the next week or so Haha!

@Treaclepie19 @LA89 cramping is a good sign!! It's got to be implantation right? I'm around 6dpo I believe. Not long for you now @Treaclepie19 😊

@LA89 my AF pains are awful from the first day and they last about 3 days where I'm super heavy and then it gets lighter. These cramps do resemble AF but like you say they're just not as bad at all and don't last as long, like the ache isn't constantly there for me it comes and goes.

OP posts:
Treaclepie19 · 19/06/2019 10:10

@RoRosmama feels ages doesnt it? I'm lucky in a way because with my cycles being shorter I'll probably know on Tuesday.
Still feels ages away 😂

I'm crampy and tired! And had to jump out of bed this morning to wee... which is unusual.
I'm sure it's all in my head!

LA89 · 19/06/2019 10:07

@RoRosmama

Exactly! It's the same sensation as period pains just not to the point where it's actually painful...just niggly enough for you to notice them. I had them on and off most of the day yesterday and still got them today actually. I think I ovulated Thursday night/Friday morning so I'm about 5/6 days out now. Good old Google is suggesting the cramps and achy lower back could be linked to implantation. I mean it could be absolutely nothing but it's definitely unusual for me. I typically get a really bad period pain the night before AF arrives which continues through day 1 of my period but other than those 2 days I don't get any other cramping at any point.

How many DPO are you? X

Hi @Treaclepie19 I think I too am 6dpo according to my OC app. AF due in 9 days, soooo long! How are you feeling today?

@LA89 That's just how my cramps are. Almost AF type but not to the point where I need to take painkillers.

OP posts:
Treaclepie19 · 19/06/2019 08:10

@Abi58 I haven't tracked ovulation so not sure when it will be :(
My last two cycles were 23 days so I'm hoping for the same again!
Really crampy this morning. If it's another 23 day cycle I reckon I'm 6dpo.

Abi58 · 19/06/2019 07:28

@LA89 🤞🏻 for you! Scientifically there's nothing that shows you would have symptom already as you won't have implanted yet.

I'm 4dpo and for the last 2 days have felt really sick and had cramps yesterday. I'm putting it down to hormones around ovulation but you never know!

@Treaclepie19 it shouldn't be longer than 14-16 days after ovulation so 🤞🏻 your wait isn't longer than you're expecting 💕

Treaclepie19 · 19/06/2019 05:59

Thank you ladies. Sending hugs all round.
Just need to try and distract myself a bit I think.
At least its less than a week to go now. I'm not sure my cycles have completely settled down though so I could end up with more of a wait!

LA89 · 18/06/2019 23:26

Hey all,

Just been catching up and this is such a rollercoaster for all of us. I feel like I'm being crazy and obsessive so don't want to talk to friends about it so it's so nice to be able to vent on here and see that how much this is playing on my mind is totally normal.

With that being said I've had cramps on and off allll day today. I'm now 4/5 days dpo and whilst they're kind of similar to pms cramps they're not as powerful. Like with period pains they do actually hurt me to the point that on the day before and day 1 of my period I usually have to have painkillers and a hot water bottle to sort them. Today's were the same sensation for lack of a better word...but not painful, just more niggly than anything else. Like enough for me to notice them but I definitely wouldn't have said I was in pain. I've got a really achy lower back tonight too.

Would anything even be happening 4/5 dpo? I'm clueless here xxx

@Abi58 this is exactly how I've been. Sneezing all day, DD has said bless you mummy about 20 times today 😂
I'm getting stabbing pains down there along with flutters and just general movement. My lower back aches like hell too but surprisingly my boobs aren't really that sore. I normally get really painful boobies about a week and a half before period but they seem to be ok.
This has gotta he out month!

OP posts:
Abi58 · 18/06/2019 23:06

@RoRosmama yes exactly like that! What's your strange feeling down there like?
Aw no hope you're feeling better soon! (And hope it's a good sign for you!)
I've been sneezing all day but don't feel too bad just a little stuffy, hoping it's the immune system sorting itself out for implantation (not that I'm too hopeful or anything lol) 🤞🏻
