The dreaded tww

87 replies

Hey, I'm currently in the dreaded tww. I'm not sure exactly when I ovulated, one app says 8th other says 10th. So I'm either 8 or 10dpo. I tried a frer this morning and got a bfn (not surprised given I could only be 8dpo, but I couldn't resist). Anyone due to test in the next couple of days? I'm going to try and hold out until saturday, (af due between saturday and monday - had a weird short cycle last month so not sure if it will be the same this month) x

@gigi318 haha I'm saying I'm not bothered now but i know I'll be gutted when I get a negative ha. I have another busy week in work this week so I'm hoping I wont be thinking about the tww too much. Haha its typical isn't it, we are wishing the weeks away to get to our bfp's 😂 x

@charlie0692 thank you chick, I'm hoping so. Will keep an eye out for EWCM though as I think I O later than expected last month, we shall see. Yes I know what you mean, it's so hard not to want it though, isn't it. But I do also believe, what will be will be. I'm feeling good at the moment. Excited to actually be proactive and not just waiting. But also itching to be in the TWW. Can't win 🤣🙈

@gigi318 all sounding very positive for you 😊 I have my fingers crossed for you. Not really sure how I'm feeling at the min, theres part of me that really wants it to happen this month, but then a part of me that keeps thinking theres no rush it will happen when the times right. You?

@charlie0692 that's good though, still good to keep up hope. I hope so, really trying to time it right 🤞🏻 AF is due on the 23rd so I will probably test then. I'm CD13 today and that would make it a 30day cycle. Hoping it all takes 🤞🏻💫 How are you feeling?

@gigi318 no I didnt properly track O as I've been so busy this week I've not even thought about it to be honest 🙈 it was either wednesday or thursday, I'm counting from thurs so 3dpo today.

Sounds like your going to be in with a very good chance this month! When is af due for you?

OP posts:
Gigi318 · 06/10/2019 12:24

@charlie0692 That could still have been good. Monday's swimmers may have just made it. Did you track O or just estimating. Could have OD earlier? Amazing. Yes I think it'll be any moment now so just trying to DTD as much as poss. We have Mon, Weds, yesterday and today so far. That's good and yes too early to tell for you. Not long to wait(ish) now. At least you're able to switch off now a bit. If you can!!

@gigi318 we dtd last thurs, fri, then monday but nothing since so theres a little chance it may have worked, not hopeful though. Got my fingers crossed for you, seems like O due anytime now then. I have no symptoms at all, I think it's still way too early to get any yet though even if it has worked. Af due 16th so going to test next sunday/monday 😊 how are you feeling? X

@charlie0692 morning chick, how are you?? Oh that's good. Hurrah 2dpo. Now to keep yourself busy until you test. When is AF due. Oh no, I hope you've still caught. Did you DTD at all?? I think I am due to O on Monday-Tuesday. Had some twinges Friday night and all yesterday. So could be any time now. We are DTD to cover ourselves 🙊🤞🏻I think I will count Wednesday as 1dpo. Still on the lookout for EWCM! How are you feeling? X

Hey @gigi318 how are you feeling? I think I'm 2dpo today. Both me and Dh have been so busy in work over the last week we have both been too tired to do anything 🙈 so I think I'm out for this month. X

@charlie0692 hehehe yes I'm feeling really calm and relaxed too. But also, that may stop when the TWW starts. I might have to pretend I'm still in the FW just to stop myself from going mad. 2 weeks feels like such a long time!!!

@gigi318 I'm feeling really positive about this month 😊 I'm feeling dead calm and not worrying at all. Haha fast forward 2 weeks and I'll be driving myself insane symptom spotting most probably 🙈😂 x

Happy Sunday, chick @charlie0692 how are you? Hurrah, not long to wait now. I'm CD6 and I think I'll be O a week from Tuesday (according to Flo) but I will see as I think going by EWCM is more reliable for me. As I do always get it. So it's just waiting until that happens 🙌🏻

Hey @gigi318 just checking to see how your getting on this week? The week seems to have flown by! I'm on cd9, according to ovia app I should be ovulating Wednesday this week 😊 x

OP posts:
Gigi318 · 25/09/2019 10:55

@charlie0692 I am going to do the same and then when I see EW maybe that day and the next. Hard to juggle isn't it but going to just go for it. I'm so excited 🙌🏻 hope we're not exhausted by the end of the month haha. Good luck to us 🤞🏻💫

@gigi318 hahahah I'm going to aim for every other day but we will see 😂. Got everything crossed for us both this month! X

@charlie0692 oh wow, so I hit the nail on the head with that one then. And I've seen lots of people conceive at cycle four. So yay! Yayyy that will be good. I think I will stop Saturday with the odd bit of spotting/CM and I'll be good to go for Monday 🙌🏻 OH won't know what's hit him 🙊

@gigi318 hahah 4 is my lucky number so I'm hoping this cycle is going to be the lucky one! Ha hopefully af will stop today for me so I can get to the fun bit hahaha.

OP posts:
Gigi318 · 25/09/2019 10:32

@charlie0692 hehehe yes it's so easy for it to consume your days! I just want the bleeding to stop now and for me to be on CD7 😁 so exciting. I think that sounds to me chick. There's something about lucky cycle four I think! Two for me now! Well perhaps one if I'm actually approaching things properly 🤣

charlie0692 · 25/09/2019 09:38

@gigi318 I'm on cycle 4 now. Think I'll just see how we get on this month and then start the ovulation tests next month if this month hasnt worked. I know what you mean, it can get so obsessive, I'm bad enough with pregnancy tests! I'm wanting to test from about 8dpo! Ha

OP posts:
Gigi318 · 25/09/2019 08:16

@charlie0692 exactly. And even though it doesn't feel like it at the time, a month isn't all that long to wait. So we've got this 👌🏻 what month are you on? I'm not a fan of that idea personally as I worry it will make me obsess and take away the fun of it all. So I plan to just see how this month goes! I'm now CD2 woohoo!

charlie0692 · 24/09/2019 22:38

Yep ready for the next month @gigi318 that's the best way to look at it 😊 4 days in already! Hope it flys by! Still debating whether to get some ovulation tests to try this month or not ha. X

Gigi318 · 24/09/2019 17:19

@charlie0692 thank you chick, it was. I had a good cry at 1am. But I feel okay now. Positive and excited for the month ahead! How are you feeling? So I'm CD1 now, only 3 days behind you!

So sorry to hear that @gigi318. It's so disheartening when that happens. X

@charlie0692 hello lovely, no I was going to do it today but AF arrived in the night 💔
