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!

Hi @KitQ welcome to the longest 2 weeks of the month!

@boredinthehouse12 how many do are you again? When are you due AF? X

Boredinthehouse12 · 14/11/2020 16:02

I’ve just tested and surprise surprise it’s a BFN. Not even a hint of a line. Bring on my next cycle 😕

KitQ · 14/11/2020 14:52

Hi everyone! I’m just starting the TWW now. First cycle of trying so trying to relax and not worry (very hard for me as I have anxiety.)

madeinthe80z · 14/11/2020 14:46

@mommyofone2019 me too, the CM seems unusual for this totm, but cramping could be explained by the curry I had last night 🙊 i am also super tired, but then dd woke up at 4am, so 🤷‍♀️😆
I cant stop thinking about it, its annoying, I wish I could switch it off. I have already come to the conclusion I won't hold out till Thursday!!

I've not really had any symptoms. Have got creamy cm today (sorry tmi) not sure if that means anything? And have been having a bit of cramping 🤷🏻‍♀️

Well I have no idea what's going on with me 🤣 mentioned the other day that I was spotting and I still am, only the tiniest bit when I wipe, don't need a pad.

I'm 3dpo now and my boobs are sore and heavy but I had that last month. The only thing different this month is the spotting, I have a killer headache and I'm so tired!

Wed/Thu I was sleeping for 9pm and was still tired when I woke up. Yesterday I went for a 2hr nap after work and was shattered still come 10pm and now it's almost 12 and I'm just up lol. That could just be coincidental though.

beanchopper17 · 14/11/2020 11:50

5dpo too, no symptoms, so that's helping me keep sane, the usually mild cramps, but that could just be that I have IBS Grin

When is everyone thinking they will test?

Purpleflowers21 · 14/11/2020 11:45

How everyone getting on? I’m 5dpo today and the only symptom I have is an increased sense of smell...I never knew how much my partners slippers stink until today 😂. Not going to over think things or get my hopes up too much this month though

@Boredinthehouse12 nightmare 😫 I'll be testing Thursday when I'm 10DPO 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@mommyofone2019 Unfortunately not, my tests are in my side table draw and DH didnt leave the bedroom for a few hours 😒 I couldn’t hold in Fmu any longer so I couldn’t test. I’ll be testing later this afternoon.

Have you tested?

@PurpleIsTheColour 9DPO is early so you're definitely not out either!

@DJmum83 it's so hard with these strip tests 😖 your definitely not out yet though!

Bfn at 9dpo for me- I didn’t use my frers-had a femometer test hanging around in the house so used that instead (although I know that they only pick up from 11dpo and so are not very sensitive). Not surprised it was bfn as still very early days so still have some hope left for the next few days ... 🤞🤞🤞

Boredinthehouse12 · 14/11/2020 08:56

I’m really itching to test today. I’m 9dpo and feel like I’ve held out long enough 😅
I’m pretty sure it’ll will be a BFN as I have zero symptoms but hey, why not! I’m Currently holding in FMU waiting for DH to get out of bed so he doesn’t see me testing.

DJmum83 · 14/11/2020 08:42

@mommyofone2019 thank you. Just have a feeling. Have all the symptoms of my upcoming AF, so crabby, headache. The only thing is I have tender breasts, and they feel full. I dot usually get that.
AF due around 19th so we will see what happens.
Just caved and done another test pretty sure it's negative Sad

@DJmum83 fingers crossed you're not 🤞🏻

@madeinthe80z I don't think there is.
I'm going to wait until tomorrow and then I will be 10 dpo. But I think I'm out this month,
Xx

madeinthe80z · 14/11/2020 02:35

@DJmum83, not sure if there's a squinter there, are you testing again today? 😬

Highfalutinlootin · 14/11/2020 00:20

Wow I love that chart! I had not looked into the detailed phases before implantation. It's exciting to know the cells are already dividing. That makes the baby/fetus seem more real somehow.

@madeinthe80z snap this is exactly what I do haha

madeinthe80z · 13/11/2020 20:57

I think we just DTD every day around ovulation! It covers all bases that way! I knew exactly when I ovulated though as when TTC, I checked temp, CM and did OPKs so I think that meant we did about 4 days in a row

madeinthe80z · 13/11/2020 20:54

@jessandra I get the same. My trick is to pee into a container and then dip the test into it! Works a treat 😀

Jessandra · 13/11/2020 20:34

@Purpleflowers21 I’ve never POAS before but if I have to give a sample for the doctor I really struggle 🙈 I have a feeling I’ll struggle to POAS too 😬
