Yet another TWW thread (AF early October)

142 replies

I can't seem to find anyone on the same timing - any ladies expecting AF early October?

I'm only 1 DPO with AF due 6 October, anybody else just starting their TWW to buddy up with?

@raizelrea I'm only 3dpo this 2ww seems to be the longest! My boobs have been sore since ov though and that only ever happens 3 days before af - trying not to get my hopes up still. DP has a stinking cold so no doubt I'll catch it! How are you feeling?

@imnewtothis Very similar to you actually, got my static smiley on Saturday as well so made sure to DTD plenty over the weekend too 😊 I had a flu jab yesterday so feeling a bit woozy but figured if I do get pregnant within the next few months it will be handy!

@raizelrea I'm not sure how to feel I dont want to get my hopes up! I got a static smiley on the 21st of sep so lots of baby dance over the weekend. How are you doing?

@Whyhaveidonethis Of course you can! Sorry to hear about your previous chemicals, that must have been awful! I did read many women are most fertile in the cycle right after a loss so fingers crossed this is the one for you!

Can I join you? I think I am 2dpo today. Had a positive OPK on Sunday, but I'm away and forgot my thermometer so not 100% sure. AF due 6/7October according to FF but 5th if I go by my average LP. Had a CP last month and 2 more before that so not holding out much hope.

I'm actually going away on 6th October so may try not to test until I'm away.

Sidenote - interesting to see all the AF due 7th October datea as that's actually my birthday! Not sure if I'll hold off to test till thennor if I'll do 5th or 6th - would be fantastic to get a bday present in the form of a BFP but if it's negative I'm not sure I want to find out on my birthday!

@Mrsw1992 Haha the not stressing way is probably better - that being said my parents actually struggled loads, I only came after 5 years of trying and a stillbirth. So maybe your mum was just lucky ☺️ Weekend getaways are always nice, I was on holiday for half of my TWW last time - if I only I could do that every time 😄

@HaleyD84 Hi! Are your lines getting darker to give you an idea if it's coming? Mine took till CD 18, hopefully you're not far off! Heard many good things about SMEP, we've loosely been doing something similar but not to a t. How have you been finding it?

@cornplant Hi ☺️ Looks like you only posted a couple of hours after me, figured there must be more people cropping up now that are just entering their TWW. How long have you been trying for?

@imnewtothis Welcome, how are you feeling about this cycle so far?

I'm cycle day 17, 2dpo AF/BFP due on the 7th October

cornplant · 24/09/2019 06:38

1DPO. Who is in the same boat? http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/3699878-1dpo-who-is-in-the-same-boat

I literally posted this yesterday Grin

HayleyD84 · 23/09/2019 23:04

Hi mind if I join in?

AF due 7th October, I'm CD15 but not got a positive opk yet so not yet in the tww,

I'll be so glad when I am, ive been doing smep and it's intense!!!

Really hoping to get my positive opk tomorrow or Wednesday xx

Mrsw1992 · 23/09/2019 23:00

That all sounds great! I enjoy walking too!
We’re away for the weekend then busy at work too so hopefully nicely distracted 😊
I haven’t really got my head around the sticks yet but the more I read the more I learn 👍🏻 It’s crazy to think my mums generation just got pregnant and didn’t bother stressing or testing every day!!

@Mrsw1992 Hi! I've only just ovulated myself, never quite had an entirely postive cheapie OPK but got peak on CB OPK on Saturday evening, and the cheapie was pretty dark Saturday evening and Sunday morning, then got lighter again around Sunday lunchtime so I suspect my peak happened while I was sleeping. Hope you get your peak soon - though it sounds like you're on top of things (no pun intended 😁)

I don't have loads planned distraction wise, work's been quite busy lately which helps, and at the weekend we're going for a hike if the weather's ok and meeting friends for dinner on Saturday. The weekend after we're going to a local Ted talk which I'm quite excited for. So not that bad I suppose! What are your plans?

Oh and I'm TTC first baby as well, cycle 3 for us so hasn't been long either though I feel like I'm learning a lot about my body.

Hey! I am due the same date as you ☺️
Was predicted to ovulate yesterday but not had a positive stick yet. We’ve been DTD every other day since last Weds just in case!
This is my first cycle trying for first baby.
Have you got any plans to distract you in the next two weeks? 😊
