TWW - testing 4th September

I'm just trying to keep busy as off work today, so taking my son to see 'ugly dolls' at the cinema - I will probably drift off to sleep 😅🙈 then be told off for missing it. I just dont like this 2ww but know I will more than likely be going through it again next cycle. So draining.

Yes keep saying to myself that this time next week I will know either way!

@Blossomingflower94 at least this is the week we'll all find out and if AF arrives it's into the next cycle!! I've stopped tested now as fed up of BFN, my AF due on Wednesday so either way I'll know this week xx

@MrsMc2019 I'm 13DPO and didn't want to test this morning, Monday's are bad enough without a BFN!! AF due Wednesday so we'll see what the week brings!

@Raizelrea hey! No don't normally have nausea, strange one!! Not getting my hopes up, was 11DPO on Saturday and BFN on an FRER so trying not to test until Thursday as AF due on Wednesday xxx

12dpo and another BFN, it was really difficult to sleep last night as I felt like my breasts were burning from the inside out - really painful.

I’m not sure if I technically used FMU as I’ve been up since stupid o’clock going to the loo.

Feeling rather damp downstairs but it’s very watery and clear with white specks (Sorry TMI!).

Still getting random dizzy spells but that could be tiredness.

@MrsMeow2019 Your OH sounds hilarious! Reminds me of mine haha

@daisy129437 I also tested at 9 DPO and obvs also negative. Been getting waves of nausea ever since but as you say indigestion and that type of thing can have all sorts of reasons. Than again constipation can be a good sign so if you have that it could be promosing (now that's a sentence I never thought I'd say 😄)

@AliSxo Do you normally get nausea before your period? I've been experiencing it for the last couple of days but don't find it normal (though we are attending weddings and family get togethers all over the place so it could be overeating 😄)

@mrsc1987 bad luck but fingers crossed for next time!

I don't know what's going on at the moment tbh. I never have sore boobs ever so I don't really know what I'm looking for; I've had tingly nipples for a good few days on and off and the occasional almost shooting pain, but they haven't been aching in general, I don't think. What DO aching boobs in pregnancy feel like?! Can anyone enlighten me?

Hi all, barely all symptoms today, yesterday such sore boobs and on Thursday a bout of nausea. So hard to tell what's an AF symptom as this is first month off the pill. So relived that now I'm 12DPO with AF due on Wednesday so I'll know by the end of this week how I'll stand xxx

@Herewego2020 sorry to hear about your loss, it must be hard trying again, fingers crossed for your BFP x

@daisy129437 I'm in the constipated boat too but keep thinking it means AF is ok the way...

@mrsc1987 sorry to hear AF is on her way, start an October bus :), I think I'll likely be on it and would be nice to see some familiar names , keep us all going !

Ooo the DHs , I think they don't feel the same , they don't know what it's like thinking about it all.the.time, tracking , worrying about ovulating ... next
Time I'm coming back as a man !

Im out 13dpo spotting has started on que for for af arrival tomorrow, off to wait for the next bus lol.

@november90 thank you so much 🤗 yes I'm so glad we all have each other that really helps. My dh is a laid back listen to the universe type person so he just cant cope with me going on and on 😂 and I'm convinced he switches off cause answers yes to stuff which doesn't require an answer lol.
Hi @daisy129437 your partner sounds like mine lol. Dont worry you got bfn as its early and try again when further along - it is sooooo hard I know.

Hi ladies!

So I'm 9DPO and stupidly tested this morning and of course a BFN!
I'm so tempted to test tomorrow but I've told myself to leave it until at least 12DPO and DP has hidden tests from me ... Yesterday and today I've had cramping but that could be because I'm so (TMI) constipated!

Hope we all get our BFP soon!

@MrsMeow2019 thank you for the info! You're absolutely right... this is the first month I've ever checked it and it's never felt as I've researched it should 😂 i will have a look at the link though :) Thanks again xx

@Herewego2020 oh I'm so sorry to hear you miscarried :( I can't imagine how difficult that must be at the time and even now to move forwards :( it really shows what a strong lady you must be! it really does sound like you've got a lot of positive symptoms so I'll keep it all crossed for you 💗 If it's not our month at least we all have each other still here to talk it through with :) xx

@november90 I just don't want to get my Hope's up. I've been begging my dh since we miscarried to try again as it broke his heart and he said he just couldn't imagine going through that again. Then he finally said he is ready a year and a half later🙂. I've also not really had an appetite when usually I LOVE to eat 😅. Oh and I'm not sleeping but that could well be anxiety around all this lol. Wish I could just be more casual. Hope we all get our BFP soon.
Regarding cervix i became obsessed with checking mine, then I get confused with what's classed as high and the the whole feeling like a 'nose" etc. I'm sure you are right though when its soft it's a sign of pregnancy🤔 but dont go by it either 🤗

@november90 I've read that too, but I think it's all very difficult to interpret especially if it's not something you've been doing regularly, and assuming implantation happens at day 9/10 then you're body would be working up to a period anyway and won't know its pregnant until HCG is being produced.

I wouldn't read too much into it as it just causes more worry (says me after having checked this morning and spent the afternoon doing research )

This is interesting , I found the link on a thread about EWCM. Warning about the pictures

Sorry if this is grim guys but I checked my cervix and it's really firm..., I've read o line this is a key indicator that your not pregnant as of you are it should be soft! Does anyone know anything about this? I don't even know why I checked! 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Herewego2020 hi there! In the very early days of my first pregnancy with my son my stand out symptom was really soar boobs! I remember I didn't even want to talk about them as they hurt so much so this could be a good sign :) I'm with you I'm not testing. I'm 99.999% sure af will be here bang on time for me as I have 0 pregnancy symptoms just af symptoms...... taking a test would just upset me sooner 🤦🏼‍♀️

Hey ladies, I'm currently 10dpo and thought I would join in with you all in this dreadful wait lol. Cause I think if I mention anything relating to pregnancy ro my DH again he might throttle me [laugh] so right now my boobs are killing and they have been Since Tuesday BUT mine tend to hurt before AF anyway. They are very painful though, my son hugged me and I winced to point he said sorry mummy. Apart from that my CM I've not noticed which I would if creamy :( I been crying a lot and also getting angry a lot but again this is normal run up..I usually get very clingy with DH when AF due but haven't at the moment. I've not done any tests and I wont unless i miss AF as i will be sad if BFN.

@raizelrea He's not bothered , he uses it against me now. I said I was worried I ahvent' actually Ov'd this month as didn't get a positive OPK. He said 'but you said the mucus was fertile!' So I might tell him less next cycle !

@MrsMeow2019 Haha I've managed to refrain from telling my OH about CM... For now 😄 How did yours take it? 😄

@Nic555 If you have the patience to wait till your missed period and circumstances allow I would wait till then! (Do as I say, not as I do 😅). I know what you mean about the nausea, I've started having it last night and keep getting waves today at 10 DPO, but the problem with nausea is that it's one of those symptoms that can just be psychosomatic so it's not very reliable! Fingers crossed for you!

@november90 I took a test at 9 DPO (obvs negative as far too early) as I was going to a wedding, think I'll test again on Tuesday which should be 12 DPO and then on Friday at 15 DPO. This TWW as I'm attending two weddings and visiting family and friends abroad so everyone keeps thrusting alcohol at me, hence all the premature testing... I will hopefully adopt a similar approach to yours next month if we haven't been successful this time around.

@Blossomingflower94 Hope it turns around for you! Still plenty of time!

@november90 I'm not sure really, App says AF due on thursday which is 26 day cycle, and usually i go 24 or 27 days. So thinking I'll leave it till Wednesday morning which would either be 1 day late or 1 day early. I've still got some ICs though...so might gave and do it Tuesday if AF hasn't turned up. Are you going to test Friday ?

@Nic555 I suppose the sensible thing to say is wait until Tuesday but I'd test ! Good luck xx
