Anyone else in the TWW and want to keep each other sane?

@Raizelrea aww bless you! I'm about 5 days too! I don't really have any symptoms other then the dreams which is having the opposite effect, it's making me feel stressed and nagative 🤦🏼‍♀️ My don was a surprise pregnancy so I didn't have to go through all of this hassle last time! I remember that my symptoms really were the normal pms symptoms and since I've had them I don't really get any other then moodiness, weird dreams, thrush and headache so I can't wait for that! Haha!

I'm 5 DPO and keep thinking I've got cramps ... only to realise I've been reading mumsnet for too long and need a wee 😆

itssquidstella · 27/08/2019 21:39

Haha @AliSxo I know what you mean about the boob obsession - I keep poking mine and thinking 'did that hurt? Was it sore?!'. This tww is driving me mad!

Raizelrea · 27/08/2019 21:13

Adding heartburn to my list of symptoms... I swear this is all on my head 😆

AliSxo · 27/08/2019 21:12

@daisy129437 I'm moody too!! I haven't been symptom spotting too badly but if you've got sore boobs that's a good sign xx

daisy129437 · 27/08/2019 21:10

I can't help but symptom spot! Argh!
Currently sore and heavy boobs, bloated, constipated and generally moody haha Keeping my fingers crossed.

AliSxo · 27/08/2019 20:42

@Blossomingflower94 same! I read people have them and I'm like do I? Are mine sore!m?! Sadly not but maybe soon!! I had cramping and lower back ache 3/4DPO but other than that and maybe a bit mood swings nothing. Still hoping for BFP as I'm only 7DPO xxxx

Blossomingflower94 · 27/08/2019 20:35

Sounds so weird to say I'm hoping for sore boobs 😂 currently just the occasional cramping. Lasts about 10 minutes and then calms down. Other than that no symptoms at 6DPO.

Raizelrea · 27/08/2019 20:18

@AliSxo Ah yes same, all sorts of cramping going on but my boobs seem pretty normal. Then again a lot of the symptoms can just be in our heads and there's people who's first symptom is that second line! 😊

AliSxo · 27/08/2019 19:51

Thanks @Raizelrea same to you!! Hopefully BFP for all of us!! I know I'll be so tempted to test earlier than Saturday, I did have cramps on Friday and lower back ache Saturday but a lot of people on here talk about tingly nipples which I haven't had so hoping I might get a few more symptoms xx

Raizelrea · 27/08/2019 19:14

@AliSxo Yes I will do, though I'd be very surprised if the results are noteworthy, with it being so early. After that I'll not test till the 6th September when I should hopefully get a better idea! Only 3 days to go till the first test, fingers crossed it's a BFP for you! 😊

AliSxo · 27/08/2019 18:55

Thanks @Raizelrea I think if it was negative on a work day I'd be in a vile mood but at least the positive would be I'd be distracted by work. Yes I know what you mean it might not be BFP until week after AF is due so even a few negative tests might not mean I'm out. Are you testing Saturday? Xx

Raizelrea · 27/08/2019 18:08

Hi @november90 I know, I was fine the first few days but now at 5 DPO I'm imagining symptoms left right and centre. This afternoon I had a decaf coffee which normally just tastes like milky water to me, but today it seemed strong like an espresso. I realise it's too early to have any real symptoms so driving myself nuts 😄 When did you ovulate?

november90 · 27/08/2019 17:16

Hi everyone! My AF is technically due 1st of sept but I didn't ovulate until 5ish days after my app expected so i think I'll be due on about the 6th of September! This Tww is killing me 😩😩😩

Raizelrea · 27/08/2019 12:44

@AliSxo Yes I know what you mean about testing on a work day, it would distract you too much no matter what the result. I will also be testing on Saturday though not having high hopes as it will only be 9DPO for me. Your 11DPO should be more promising - though if it's negative it doesn't mean you're out, apparently some people only get a BFP a week after their missed period!

flossy12 · 27/08/2019 10:07

@Raizelrea aha finally! 😅😅

AliSxo · 27/08/2019 09:05

Hi @Raizelrea I'm 7DPO so by Saturday I'll be 11 DPO which is a good time to test I think xx don't want to test before work this week as it's a bit too early and if it's negative it'll annoy me for the day!! Xxx

Raizelrea · 27/08/2019 08:30

I'm currently 5 DPO (or 7, I have two possible ovulation dates in mind haha) and had a bit of a weird experience last night.

I had a really strange dream last night where me and OH went through a brief trance-like experience of being able to see the future when we held hands. Only lasted about 20 seconds and all flashed in front of us very quickly so the only thing that stuck with me is some futuristic public transport 😆

In the dream we got accosted by a group of thugs straight after the vision so I woke up - this was about 2 am and I woke up with a sharp pain in my pelvis. OH woke up as well so I asked him if he had the same dream (since I could even feel his hands in the dream when I held them) but he had not haha.

I have a bit of nausea this morning but tbh I don't have a great stomach at the best of times, trying to not read much into any of this with it being so early, surely it's too early for any symptoms either way?

Raizelrea · 27/08/2019 08:27

@AliSxo I think the earliest they can be positive is a day or two after implantation, which can happen at 6 DPO the earliest, but is more common at 9-10 DPO. So it would depend on when you think you ovulated.

@TTCmyfirstbambino Sounds promising, fingers crossed that it's a good sign and that it's a sticky baby!

@flossy12 Welcome to the other side!

flossy12 · 27/08/2019 01:15

I'll be testing 7th September AF is due on the 8th technically but I have a busy weekend and need to know 😅 1DPO currently so the wait begins...

TTCmyfirstbambino · 26/08/2019 23:38

Hi all! I'm due in the next 5 days.. not 100% sure what day ovulation was.

My boobs have been killing me for a solid 10 days now and a couple of brief waves of nausea..

I've had 2 miscarriages this year, one in March (mother's day :'( ) and one in July.

I'm so fed up of the TWW, really hoping this is our month but I'm scared to get too excited..

I'm gonna try and wait til the weekend to test again (yes we all test early knowing full well it's too soon lol)

Fingers crossed for you all 💕

AliSxo · 26/08/2019 23:11

Hi All! With the FRER test when is the earliest you can test? It says 6 days before AF is due, so I'm due on Weds 4th September, so is it Thursday or Friday this week the earliest I could test? I think I'll wait until Saturday but just curious xxx

Raizelrea · 26/08/2019 16:24

@Chaosonthehorizon If your fertile window has gone you don't need to worry. We DTD after but not for conception purposes haha, just because I think it's important that OH doesn't think I only want to DTD with him when I'm fertile. But if you're not physically in the same space it's not decreasing your chances - it's purely recreational at this point 😄

@Blossomingflower All fingers crossed for you, all the signs sound pretty good though I know it's better to not overthink it!

itssquidstella · 26/08/2019 16:15

@Blossomingflower94 exciting! Hope it is implantation!

Chaosonthehorizon · 26/08/2019 16:11

Thanks, as we can’t get pregnant after ovulation?? Taking the kids to friends for a week without DH and now panicking we are going to somehow ruin our chances! Had peak on Tuesday and now on CD16
