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!

8dpo here and I’ve got my frers arriving today and am testing this weekend. Been doing cheapies for the last two days too as I just like to poas😭😭😭 Also symptoms spotting like mad this month and my FF chart looks absolutely hilarious from all the symptoms I’ve recorded ... 😀😀
My mmc I didn’t test until 4 days late as I just didn’t think you can get preggies from having sex only one single time,but maybe it was successful because there was no bbt/ovulation/cm tracking and obsessing every month. I really think that this stress around getting a bfp is having an effect on the actual chances of getting pregnant😕😕

Omg how weird! @madeinthe80z 😂
We are convinced that whenever we have baby no2 it will be another girl. Don't know why 🤷🏻‍♀️

@S345 I was late last month too and wasted my frer 😖 I've got a stash of cheapy strip tests so if I feel the urge to test I'll use those !

Hi @DJmum83
I bet the TWW doesn't get any easier does it?!

DJmum83 · 13/11/2020 09:56

Hi everyone I'm either 7 or 8dpo.
Trying to hold out until at least 11/12 dpo.
This will be my 4th child.
Xx

madeinthe80z · 13/11/2020 09:44

@mummyofone2019 we are scarily very similar, I also have a 15 month old born August 2019 and am due AF on the same day as you too 😂

S345 · 13/11/2020 09:35

@mummyofone2019 the thought of testing is sooo exciting and amazing that you got your BFP on 10dpo with your daughter so crossing everything for you for Thursday! AF was 2 days late last month and I was convinced but was obviously a BFN and I wasted a FRER on it too 😂

Just a question for everyone....
Are you trying for baby number 1 or baby number 2 (or more!)?

This will be baby number 2 for me. I have a daughter who is 15 months old (born august 2019) 💗

@madeinthe80z AF is due 23rd for me too (or round about then) so it looks like we are the same!
I'm going to order the first response 6 days before test. That's what I used with baby no1.
I did a cheap strip test first and there was the faintest of faint lines but I knew there was something there. So I went for it and did the frer and there was an obvious line!

Wow you must have great self control if you can make it to 10 DPO! I bet I'll crack and test on Monday.

madeinthe80z · 13/11/2020 09:09

@mummyofone2019 I think I will try and hold out till Thursday too. I am trying to remember what I did last time but I knew exactly when I ovulated then! I am due AF on 22/23 so Thursday will be 3 days before, is that too early?! Not even sure what kind of test I have up in the bathroom 😆
Wasn't planning on this by any means but now I am obsessing!!

Hi @Highfalutinlootin 👋🏻
4DPO for me today. We all seem to be very close on our dpo! So will be great to give each other moral support ❤️
Hoping we get lots of bfp by the end of November. How amazing would that be for a Christmas present.

@zeerecords I'll be holding out until Thursday when I'll be 10DPO. I seriously can't wait any longer than that 😂 I only have internet cheapy strip tests so I need to order some frer

@S345 you definitely have more will power then me!! As I got my bfp on 10DPO with my daughter Im going to test the same again this time. So that will be Thursday. I just know if I get a bfn I'll be like I'm out!

OP posts:
Highfalutinlootin · 13/11/2020 08:57

Also, is anyone else here using a TempDrop?

Highfalutinlootin · 13/11/2020 08:57

Hi ladies, would love to join. I'm 3 DPO my first. It's true that the TWW is torture! I'm already symptom spotting like crazy. When do you all plan to start testing?

zeerecords · 13/11/2020 08:57

@madeinthe80z yes I've been taking my temp every morning but wanted to try and take the pressure off a little this month and have also been out of my usual routine so have been less precise with it!

zeerecords · 13/11/2020 08:54

@mommyofone2019 AF is due the 22nd so hopefully I can wait to test until then! When are you going to test?

madeinthe80z · 13/11/2020 08:51

@zeerecords have you been temping with the natural cycles app?

madeinthe80z · 13/11/2020 08:47

Please can I join in?!
I have inadvertently found myself in the TWW (🙊) and I have no idea when I ovulated! So I think I am between 1 and 5 days PO?! No idea when to test because I only have one test left over from last time and there's no way I'll be able to wait till AF due 🤣 how do people even do that?! In the past, I have had squinters around 8/9 DPO I think...
How's everyone else doing?

S345 · 13/11/2020 08:42

I feel like I'm over analysing every symptom this month 🤣🤣 I have quite good willpower when it comes to testing so I will probably wait for AF to (hopefully not) come (due on 25th) and go from there...
