Anyone in the TWW???

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!

Hello everyone!!! Lots of new people, yay!!!! Please join us in going barmy 😂 @SwimmerGirl40 I was sooooo moody, snappy and intolerant throughout the first and third trimester with DD so I'd say definitely a sign!!!

This evening I have had shooting pains from my belly button going downwards. They were really uncomfortable.

@MrsHufflepuffMS I had a bath this afternoon with DD. Go for it and have a bath, as long as it's not boiling!

How is everyone else feeling this evening? @Treaclepie19 If we don't hear from you we know you are fast asleep on the sofa 😂😂😂

@MrsHufflepuffMS me too! That sounds promising!! 🤞🏻

Not heard of that I'll have a look 😁

@Treaclepie19 could be either 🤷🏻‍♀️🤞🏻

@AcesHigh666 you can have the dip and it doesn't necessarily mean anything. 🤞🏻 for you though 9dpo is still really early! (And looks like you tested at 8?

@LA89 sounds like you've managed to get your body back on track really quickly! Just add 14 days to the date of ovulation 😁🤞🏻

@SwimmerGirl40 good luck!

I am also getting twinges, just to the left of my belly button. Could be wind as I think that’s too high up to be my womb.

The TWW drives me mad as I notice everything.

SwimmerGirl40 · 18/06/2019 15:36

I lost my temper with DP on Sunday. Took offence to a message my sister sent and switched my phone off. Snapped at a cold caller.

Also exhausted but I am really busy at work too. Let’s see what Thurs/Fri brings...

Good luck everyone!

MrsHufflepuffMS · 18/06/2019 15:29

It's definitely a sign. But it could be a sign that you're totally stressed out.

Let us know how Thursday goes, then you can tell us 😁😁🤗

SwimmerGirl40 · 18/06/2019 14:57

Yes. AF due on Thursday/Friday.

Is being very highly strung and over sensitive a sign of pregnancy? Or am I just premenstrual? It’s worse than usual this month.

MrsHufflepuffMS · 18/06/2019 14:52

@AcesHigh666
Hi welcome, a dip must be a good sign. All we can do is wait. Sometimes, there aren't any signs sometimes there are.
Fingers crossed for you, please join us in going loopy, if you feel the need :) :) :)

MrsHufflepuffMS · 18/06/2019 14:48

@RoRosmama I used the cheap Amazon ovulation sticks this month, just not sure if I should spend the extra extra money on the branded stuff, like clear blue?

LA89 · 18/06/2019 14:37

@RoRosmama

AHH sounds like we will be testing at the same time. Fingers crossed for 2 BFP for us!

@Abi58 i did have my wd bleed which started Sunday 26th of May and lasted 6 days which is normal for me. Flo app predicted AF due this Sunday the 23rd so I was all geared up to test end of this week but as I only ovulated Thursday/Friday I think I'll have to push that back a week which is making for a super long wait 😔

@MrsHufflepuffMS I'd say definitely worth it. At least for a few months so you get an accurate grip on your cycle and when you ovulate. My Flo app had ovulation 6 days before I actually ovulated according to the CB ovulation kit which I'm assuming must be accurate? The app was saying I wouldn't get pregnant at all by the time I actually ovulated so if I'd relied on that I'd have completely missed my window.

If I don't get my BFP this month I'm definitely going to use them again next month so I know exactly when my fertile window is

Fingers crossed and baby dust to all xxx

AcesHigh666 · 18/06/2019 14:27

I’m 9dpo.

Tested yesterday and was bfn.

I had a massive drop in bbt on 6dpo that rose high the next morning on 7dpo.

Don’t know what to think.

Good luck to all xx

Treaclepie19 · 18/06/2019 13:52

🙈 I'm falling asleep on the sofa!
A sign? Or just tiredness from an early rising 3yo 😂

MrsHufflepuffMS · 18/06/2019 13:31

@Abi58
Thanks, that's good to know. I love my baths.
I don't think there's such think has TMI at this stage :)
I've had like a twinge strain on my left side for days now. Starting to think if it's not a pregnancy related. There might be a problem.

I think I've hit the denial stage. 😅 look up stages of TWW lol.

Abi58 · 18/06/2019 13:24

@Treaclepie19 ah so similar cd then 🤞🏻 and luck you getting to test sooner😁

@RoRosmama I'll be with you in s few days I'll convince myself it is a symptom but 3dpo I doubt it can be 😩
Although really weirdly and sorry tmi down there I keep feeling tingly 🤷🏻‍♀️ probably nothing but it's odd, sort of like butterflies lol!

@MrsHufflepuffMS I'd say baths are fine! Maybe don't have like a hot tub hit if your worried but even that should be ok it's more that you overhear and can't cool yourself down as efficiently but a bath this early shouldn't affect anything. I'm going to have one this weekend 😁

MrsHufflepuffMS · 18/06/2019 13:19

Hi @LA89

I know how you feel, my app and ovulation tests are telling me different things. Is it worth investing in the clear blue ovulation tests.

This waiting is killing me.

Quick question how do you all feel about having baths in the TWW? I've read mixed things ? Bath's chill me out lol

@RoRosmama @Abi58 @LA89 @Treaclepie19

RoRosmama · 18/06/2019 12:50

@Abi58 I am around 5dpo. I've noticed a few things but they're not necessarily pregnancy related, but at the same time could be? If you get my drift. Arghhhh it's so annoying and confusing. Clutching at straws perhaps! Longest TWW ever but this thread is really helping me get through it 😊

OP posts:
Treaclepie19 · 18/06/2019 12:44

@RoRosmama fingers crossed 😁

@Abi58 I'm cd17 but due the 25th as I have short cycles.

Abi58 · 18/06/2019 12:35

@Treaclepie19 Could be! What cd are you? I think I'm due 29th so not far off 😁

@RoRosmama thank you 😁 I'm only 3dpo so not yet 😩 I have been feeling really nauseous but has that last month so thinks it's to do with hormone levels around ovulation. How about you?? 🤞🏻 we all get our bfp 😁

@LA89 welcome! I'm new too :) have you not had your withdrawal bleed? What pill were you on? I stopped mid March (half way through a packet as thought why wait?!) had no bleed. Had 1st period beginning May. That's good that you got a peak so soon after the pill 😁 I think the rule of thumb is af is due 14 days after ovulation (usually the day or 2 days after your peak/positive opk)

RoRosmama · 18/06/2019 12:14

@Treaclepie19 urgh IBS sucks doesn't it. Maybe the reason for our flare ups could be pregnancy related?! Fingers crossed, eh!!

Hi @LA89 welcome!!
My fertile days were between 8-13 June 13 being ovulation apparently. My period is due 28th. If you think you ovulated around 13/14 I would test around 14 dash after that.

Fingers crossed for us all ❤️

OP posts:
Treaclepie19 · 18/06/2019 09:33

@RoRosmama I'm still the same. I have ibs too. Normally only goes one way though!

I'm just impatient! One week to go.

Welcome @LA89, fingers crossed for you!

LA89 · 18/06/2019 09:30

Hi guys,

I'm a bit late to the party but wanted to jump in too.

I'm not really sure when AF is due as this is cycle 1 and just came off the pill end of May after only 15/16 days on it (came back from holiday and jet lag took over so completely forgot my pill for 3 days which cause withdrawal bleed)

I downloaded the Flo app and estimated a standard 28 day cycle so it told me ovulation would be 8/6 but clear blue ovulation kit didn't give me peak until 13/6 so I'm assuming I ovulated on Friday the 14th so im on day 4ish I think.

Flo app is suggesting AF is due on Sunday but I don't know if that's actually the case when it'll be 9 dpo according to the clear blue test.

So in a nutshell I've no idea when to test or what is going on 😂

Keeping my fingers crossed for lots of BFP on this thread!

RoRosmama · 18/06/2019 09:10

Hi @Abi58 Welcome!!! So we are all due around the same sort of time. One of us has to get a BFP! Have you been having symptoms @Abi58

How is everyone today? I am now constipated! But that isn't unusual for me. I have IBS 🙄

OP posts:
Treaclepie19 · 18/06/2019 07:55

@Abi58 ohh! Are we cycle buddies? When is af due? Mine is due 25th.

Abi58 · 18/06/2019 07:29

@Treaclepie19 @MrsHufflepuffMS thank you :)

I'm ttc our first
Came off the pill mid March
This is my 2nd proper cycle
Last month had an early miscarriage/chemical
Hoping one sticks soon 🤞🏻

Cd18 and I think 3dpo but I've had trouble confirming it with temps as I have been waking up too early so it's low and when I ale up and hour and a bit later it is higher but not had enough sleep. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to get a more accurate reading 🤞🏻😁

Treaclepie19 · 18/06/2019 06:14

@Abi58 thank you and welcome :)

Eep we've been dtd every other day. I hope it's enough.
Going to do one last time tonight I think as its cd17 of 23. Just in case I have a longer cycle.
