The dreaded TWW!

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!

@namechangedformyBFP fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻 will you have an early scan or try and wait for the 12 week one?

Yes last month I went crazy with the symptom spotting but I think it's just because I'm more aware of what my body is doing so this month I'm like oh I have a twinge oh well probably nothing 🤣

namechangedformyBFP · 10/12/2020 13:54

@S345 thank you! Still early days and cautiously optimistic after my history and bloody covid so just 1 day at a time.

It's so hard not to think of every little thing as a symptom isn't it, 🤞🏻 for you

S345 · 10/12/2020 13:25

@namechangedformyBFP congrats, how exciting 🥰

@mommyofone2019 me 🙋🏼‍♀️ not gonna symptom spot this month just gonna try and forget I'm in the tww 😂 I'm around 4dpo. Apps predict AF on 21st December so if I get a BFP then amazing start to Christmas and if I don't I'll just drink all the Prosecco and Baileys! How are you doing?

namechangedformyBFP · 10/12/2020 09:01

@mommyofone2019 I name changed BTW 😂

namechangedformyBFP · 10/12/2020 09:00

@mommyofone2019 I did..... I am due our 3rd august baby!

August will be expensive now as there's at least 7 family birthdays and that's just the ones I can remember 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Are you in TWW?

@mummydoingamasters did you test? Xx

OP posts:
mummydoingamasters · 04/12/2020 15:40

@mommyofone2019 nope, I haven't tested yet. It sounds daft really but both my other two are November conceptions and I tested with both of those on the 5th so I'll test tomorrow 😂
Both my two had the same due date too so it's a pregnancy tradition!

I've not heard of glow, I might have to give it a look.
I've started taking folic acid just in case as I've been getting god awful heartburn and sight nausea but that could be a coincidence

@mummydoingamasters I have Flo, it's telling me ovulation is today which isn't right! The main one I use is glow which seems to be accurate for me. That's the one saying ovulation is Monday. Have you done a pregnancy test?
May have missed parts of the chat so sorry if you've already posted!!

Morning lovely. I've woken up to pure white snow everywhere today here in Essex! What a surprise! Ah hopefully you get a pos OPK soon! Mine was positive Monday morning, on my birthday haha! I had a chemical last month and a miscarriage the month before! Fingers crossed the magic happens soon enough! Smile

mummydoingamasters · 04/12/2020 10:09

@mommyofone2019 do you use any apps to track? I use Flo and I find it pretty accurate. I never used OPK's as I always found the reviews mixed or the good ones too pricey
I saw some previous chat about vitamins too. I used to use seven seas trying for a baby but not sure if it was a fluke or not. I did find they helped balance out my moods though 😂

Morning both @Jordi3 @mummydoingamasters 👋🏻

CD14 for me today. Not yet in the TWW, still waiting for ovulation which is predicted as being Monday! Have been having ewcm the last couple of days but opk's are still negative!

OP posts:
Jordi3 · 03/12/2020 22:40

I'm 3DPO on the two week wait! Second child and I can't remember any early symptoms from having my little girl. Anyone else in the same boat waiting?

mummydoingamasters · 03/12/2020 22:10

I hopes it's ok if I jump on 😊

1st cycle of TTC no3. I'm driving myself crazy symptom spotting, googling, reading blogs and threads.

AF due any day now, feeling bloated, boobs aching like hell, hungry but food is making me feel a bit 'blah' and I could be imagining it but the boob veins of pregnancy are more visible. Going to the loo as I keep feeling wet like AF is here but nothing.

Eugh, I hate this bit

CD 13 and ovulation is due on Monday (according to glow)

Haven't had a positive OPK yet, been as white as white but there was a little something on there today so looking like ovulation is approaching.

Have been drinking a glass of grapefruit juice a day as read that this is good for cm, and I have to say I have noticed a difference!! There definitely seems to be more.

Hope everyone is ok

Today is CD12 for me. I started OPKs and DTD on CD6 this cycle.
Trying SMEP again! Started on CD10 last cycle instead of CD8 like you should, as kind of lost track of days, and then missed the last DTD. But this month will be following it properly! As I said started on CD6 (no harm in starting early surely?) and will continue to DTD every other day until I get my positive OPK.

It's funny because I found out my 2018 diary when I conceived my daughter, and the month I conceived I followed SMEP! That was month 4 of trying. This is month 4. Wonder if I will get my bfp this month 🤞🏻

Tara1711 · 01/12/2020 17:37

I have been off the pill for 13 months, thought I might be one of the lucky ones that falls without trying at all but apparently not!! Have been tracking this month and currently in the tww!

Carsbars · 01/12/2020 16:19

@madeinthe80z If ovulation is right we DTD 3 days before 1 day before and day of so fingers crossed for this month!

madeinthe80z · 01/12/2020 13:39

@zeerecords congratulations 👏 💖

@carsbars if you are both up for it, then go for it! I was looking back at when I got my bfp with my daughter and I think it looked like we dtd day before ovulation, day of and day after and then another one for good luck a few days later. I think the more the merrier 🤣 good luck!

Hope everyone is doing okay. I guess this thread will start back up again in the next week as a fresh new TWW begins! I will not be in the same position as last month and I will not be finding myself in the TWW (🤣) but will be stopping by to see how you are all getting on 🙂

Carsbars · 30/11/2020 11:47

@mommyofone2019 Morning, just jumping on this as I am now just starting the TWW! Came off my pill in September but only just starting tracking my ovulation this month. I had an earlier period this month on the 20th which only lasted two 2 properly. Started using clear blue ovulation tests on Friday 27th and got my Peak yesterday, a lot earlier than I expected!! Am I right in saying I will still be peak today so worth DTD tonight too? Thanks Smile

@Highfalutinlootin I did one on cd 6 and cd8, both obviously negative but just thought I would start early incase I missed anything 🤷🏻‍♀️
DTD on both those days too, will try smep again this month xx

@mommyofone2019 Welcome back to the grind! It was American Thanksgiving this week so I took time off the internet to relax. Also tried to really enjoy having wine and not thinking about TTC for a week during my period. CD6 for me today so getting back to it soon.

When will you start OPKs? I usually start around CD10.

Twinkle1989 · 28/11/2020 09:17

@zeerecords yay congratulations xxx
