Anyone else in the dreaded tww?
I'm currently 2DPO. Would be nice to chat to others in the same waiting game to keep us sane!

Sorry @Dreamer30, hopefully this cycle will be more normal for you! I think it took 2 or 3 cycles for me to regulate after coming off the mini pill a few years ago too

madeinthe80z · 15/11/2020 08:51

Congrats @Jennaxc lovely pink line there 😀😀 hope you're feeling okay x

Taylor1234 · 15/11/2020 08:43

Looks like a BFP to me!! Congrats❤️

Hi everyone.

I just wanted to share my good news as I have spoken about a few vitamins and other things on here and I hate it when you read a thread and don't hear what happened to people.

I still can't quite believe it yet I'm going to keep testing but fingers crossed this is it 🤞🏼

Sending you all lots of positive sticky vibes xxxx

The dreaded TWW!

Hi ladies, hope you don't mind if I join, I'm 8dpo and seem to going out of my mind this month. I've had symptoms that I don't usually get before AF, but it could just be nothing. I hope you get your BFP this month!

Dreamer30 · 15/11/2020 07:50

@mummyofone2019 it wasn't due until the 26th according to Flo. I came off the pill about 2 months ago though so I guess it'll take a while for my cycle to adjust. Now apparently I ovulated on the 31st 🙄 lol I guess I'll just need to be patient and wait for things to settle down

Oh no @Dreamer30 😖 when was af due?

Dreamer30 · 15/11/2020 07:24

Well I'm out ladies 😔 af has arrived. No idea what's happening with my cycles these days, seem to be all over the place

Highfalutinlootin · 15/11/2020 00:26

@KitQ yes first for me too. Exciting! I am really struggling with this wait. I never realized how many points of failure there are for pregnancy: not ovulating, having sex outside of the narrow window, genetically abnormal or immature egg, sperm quality/motility, womb lining sufficiency for implantation. No way to know we've got it all!

DJmum83 · 14/11/2020 22:37

Been out for a meal with hubby tonight, major period cramps kept going to the toilet to check if it had started, nothing so far but I have a feeling it will by the morning. Not due till the 19/20th xx

@Highfalutinlootin thank you! AF due for me on 26th so me and you are almost at the same stage. Yes first child, you?

Highfalutinlootin · 14/11/2020 19:54

Ack meant @KitQ

Highfalutinlootin · 14/11/2020 19:53

@KAli Welcome! I'm first cycle trying, too. AF is due for me on the 24th but I'll definitely test before then. Is this your first child (sorry if already answered. So many posts!)?

KitQ · 14/11/2020 19:39

I think I’m going to try to wait until around 23rd/24th before I test. I’m working Monday-Saturday so I’m hoping being busy will make the week pass quickly.

madeinthe80z · 14/11/2020 19:19

Patience is a virtue...I do not have!

@Twinkle1989 I have no idea when I ovulated so I'm just going to have to go off the earliest I can test before AF is due so that would be Tuesday, although I know I should wait much longer 🤣

Jessandra · 14/11/2020 19:13

It’s terrible wishing the days away! But I just want it to be this time next week already!! I’m doing my best to wait until Tuesday... It’s so hard though 😅

Well we are another day closer ladies. Let's hope there are lots of bfp next week 🤞🏻
I'm ready to indulge in a nice glass of rosè tonight 🍷

Twinkle1989 · 14/11/2020 18:28

@madeinthe80z 😂 exactly the same - twinge of feeling green and I'm symptom spotting! I'm trying to be cool this cycle because I was in bits when AF arrived last time after doing about 5 FR!

Try and get them off Amazon & you'll save a packet

6 day's before although I think a lot of people get a result 9DPO but the longer you leave it, the most reliable it will be xx

madeinthe80z · 14/11/2020 17:48

I have one test in the bathroom drawer, I digged it out yesterday and it is a one step early something or other, I must have bought it online because its in a clear bag like there were others. I may just need to invest in some frers- are they 5 or 6 days before AF is due???

madeinthe80z · 14/11/2020 17:43

@mommyofone2019 I know!! I can't remember from last time what was normal and what happened when I got bfp's. I'm pretty sure I had no symptoms though! Maybe sore boobs?? I didn't get nausea or anything until about 6 weeks but I'm sat here this evening feeling rough and thinking 'ooooh'... its stupid, we only DTD a week ago 🤣 aaargh!

@madeinthe80z haha I majorly think I'm symptom spotting. And why is it I'm like does this normally happen 🤔 it's like I have a major kind blank and just can't remember anything from the last tww's!!
I'm going to try my best to hold off until Thursday. But I have a load of cheap strip tests so if I cave I won't feel so bad using those. I need to order some frer tests though.
Jusy thinking about testing is giving me anxiety. That wait, waiting for something to appear 😖

madeinthe80z · 14/11/2020 17:27

@KitQ

I wish I knew! Keeping busy is the key for me but I've got a long weekend off so it harder when I'm not working! And don't go on your phone in the middle of the night googling symptoms and early testing 😂

KitQ · 14/11/2020 16:52

@madeinthe80z
