Anyone starting their TWW now?

Hi Ladies,

Just wondering if anyone is starting their TWW now? I got my peak on OPK yesterday around 2pm, another peak this morning but not as dark as yesterday! Think I have ovulated today (had some weird pains and cramps!) so now it’s a waiting game!

AF should be due on 19th/20th June but this is my first proper cycle since a MC back in April so not 100% sure if I’m going back to 28 days.

Anyway some TWW buddies would be lovely to keep ourselves sane Grin

@jellykulie I'm ok, I'm 5dpo today but got period like cramps but maybe because I'm constipated (sorry tmi). Have been a little weepy today as I usually get cramps like this then I come on a week later. Though they're a little earlier than usual this month. We tried on ovulation day and the 3 days before so O, O-1, O-2,O-3. But I always manage to time it right but still no luck but here's hoping this is different! Trying to conceive our first after losing one to a miscarriage in December. Xx

@Hopesandrainbows Thank you so much for your advice! How are you feeling?

Hopesandrainbows · 19/06/2020 12:24

@JellyKulie yes have sex tonight and maybe tomorrow morning too? I think you're supposed to ovulate about 36 hours after first peak smiley (I could be wrong but that's what I remember reading). Good luck 🤞

JellyKulie · 19/06/2020 11:45

Sorry that was meant to say “flashing high”

JellyKulie · 19/06/2020 11:44

Hey ladies, just looking for some advice please? I had my Clear Blue Ovulation Test “Peak” this morning after it being a flashing “hug peak yesterday afternoon. My partner and I had intercourse last night and planning on DTD again this evening. Would this be sufficient to cover the cover Ovulation? When do you think ovulation actually occurs within the “peak” 48 hours?

This would be baby number 1 for me and number 3 for him. I want this so bad and just want to be cover all bases ☺️ Any advice/support will be greatly received.

@Hopesandrainbows there's still a chance, keeping everything crossed for you!

How's everyone else this morning? Another BFN for me on a cheapie. First response due today but will refrain from testing on them until next week.

Hopesandrainbows · 19/06/2020 06:53

It's 5dpo and I feel like I'm going to come on my period any second which I'm obviously not. Tend to get pms around 7dpo so I expect I'm already out 😞

Stabal · 18/06/2020 22:05

@yoomoo oh wow that's actually really interesting to see. I'm using Femometer and my chart looks similar to yours. I'll see what tomorrow says!

You’re welcome @Jaym78 we’ve all been in that position of overthinking things and worrying! It is the worst waiting game in the world but what I will say is I’ve now got 8 weeks to wait until first scan so the TWW is nothing really Grin I will go for some early scans though.

@Stabal sounds good from a temp perspective- have you been charting them in an app at all? Here’s my chart if it helps at all. It’s classed as triphasic because there’s been 3 noticeable changes in temps, that’s a good sign of pregnancy apparently. It looks like I ovulated on 5th June and then implanted 6DPO as that was the biggest drop in temperature. So annoying as I would’ve got a faint positive a few days ago I think. 5th June puts me at 13DPO today which makes sense for the line I have!

@Hopesandrainbows deffo too early for any symptoms another few days! I don’t mind the first week of the TWW it’s the second one that kills me off!

Oh no @SVC11 sorry to hear that. I would say it’s your first proper bleed after coming off the pill, sounds like you are on a nice easy 28 day cycle! Get those OPKs ready for once AF is gone!

Anyone starting their TWW now?

Noooo af turned up early for me... Only 9 days after my lh surge. But I've just noticed its exactly 4 weeks from coming off the pill. Hmmmm any ideas peeps? X

Hopesandrainbows · 18/06/2020 19:15

Only 4dpo. This TWW is dragging! No symptoms yet but I guess that's normal?!

@yoomoo sitting around 36.45, dipped to dead on 36 then rose steady to 36.6 then dipped this morning. Very strange. But i definitely do not get 3/4 hours of uninterrupted sleep which is why I've never tried temping before so I guess it's just a waiting game now!

Jaym78 · 18/06/2020 14:41

Also I just want it say to you all... Thank you for being so welcoming and listening to me as well as sharing your experiences n I've never been on one of these pages before but so anxious decided to try and see what everyone else thinks. Thank you all so much for being so kind patient and welcoming, I can't tell you how appreciated it is xxxx

Jaym78 · 18/06/2020 13:47

@yoomoo I kmow i shouldn't have tested really.

I'll give it a, few days and do the first response see what happens. Symptoms so strong tho but guess just a, waiting game xx

Thank you so much everyone, I’m between 11 and 13DPO today depending on which app I look at! Based on that line I’m inclined to believe I’m 13DPO, AF due tomorrow.

Congrats @Kangaroo77 get yourself a proper test, those ICs are rubbish Grin you can see the difference in the lines in my pic! So lovely to get our 🌈 after the heartbreak of MC.

@SVC11 yes to symptoms! I’ve been feeling so nauseous but to be fair I do get that a few days before AF anyway. Also had back pain and weird cramping but not AF type cramps more localised stabby pains. Extremely tired to the point I was asleep at 8pm the last 2 nights. When I was pregnant before I also got 2 brown marks on my face which I noticed the other day had got darker. Oh and the vivid dreams, the last 3 nights about an hour after I’ve gone to sleep I’ve woken up convinced there’s a giant spider on DPs pillow (he’s been working nights!) very sore boobs and they just felt heavier although today they don’t really feel much but guessing that’s due to hormones switching up their roles! Quite a few things actually now I’ve written them down!

@Mistymonday that all sounds positive, temp drop yesterday could be implantation!

@Stabal I haven’t quite decided on temping yet I think it can be tricky if you don’t have 3/4 hours of uninterrupted sleep before taking it. What’s your baseline temperature been before ovulation?

@jaym78 still very early for you! I would also get a first response early response test as they are much better than the internet cheap ones!

@Jaym78 Yes, the burning boobs thing is really strange! I had to sleep with the covers off.
Hopefully we’re too early for hcg to be read yet...good luck poas!

Jaym78 · 18/06/2020 12:26

@mistymonday that's me I'm day 10 dpo and due 22nd. Negative today I couldn't sleep last night with boobs on fire n painful nipples. I feel more cm today. I'm nauseous too. I've been like this days. Had cramps day 8 and 9 x

Mistymonday · 18/06/2020 12:01

I’m 10 dpo and tested yesterday and today - Bfn for me. It is still early though. Period due on 24th.

My temp dropped yesterday but is up again today. Hot tender boobs, cramping basically since dtd, tugging in uterus, teary, bloated, mildly more hungry and more sensitive to smells. But maybe it’s very strange pms! First cycle and I’m 37/8 so not getting hopes up.

So lovely to hear of all your bfps! Gives me hope FlowersSmile

Jaym78 · 18/06/2020 09:16

Aww congratulations ladies!! Hope all you pregnant ladies are keeping well.

I think I'm day 10dpo. I tested with a cheap strio at 5 this morning and got negative. I spent yhe night burning up and my boobs were agony.

Will try again in a few days.

But I'm loving seeing all these positives for you all well done xxx

BMWL · 18/06/2020 08:42

@Stabal thank you 🤞🏻 will keep fingers crossed xx

Stabal · 18/06/2020 08:37

@BMWL fingers crossed everything goes well for you! 💕

BMWL · 18/06/2020 08:35

Congrats @yoomoo @Kangaroo77

February rainbow babies 🌈🤞🏻
Will remain cautiously optimistic until my scan next week x

Stabal · 18/06/2020 08:33

I'm super groggy this morning and waves of nausea but my temp was 36.17 so I'm pretty sure it's just AF working 😔 though I'm not sure how reliable the temping is with me as I have a terrible sleep patten and waken almost every hour. Anyone else the same and found temping relatively okay?

Stabal · 18/06/2020 08:31

Congrats @Kangaroo77! 😍
