Hey guys,

So I'm in my 6th TWW and roughly 6/7dpos. (Ive stopped monitoring.. for now). I was doing sooo well and now I'm on the obsessive googling stage.

I get a little crampy around this time every month.. I think. 🤣 so I've just been trying to work out what implantation cramps could feel like 🤯

Does anyone else feel like when you aren't TTC the time between periods go super quick but when your in your TWW if feels like the whole of 2020 within that two weeks 🙈

Why can't I just CHILL!!!

@peach1234 how many more do you have? Maybe try again in the morning. Xx

So they just came and I tested BFN but streak of blood when I wiped again.

peach1234 · 07/12/2020 16:17

@beckyBP I've ordered some from Amazon to come today but not arrived yet so I'm telling myself I'll wait until at least the morning but I know that's a massive lie and I'll run to the toilet as soon as they arrive... we're all due AF around the same day!! Fingers crossed they don't show up! X

@peach1234 I'm going to try and wait for AF as personally I find that easier. HOPEFULLY it doesn't arrive! I also have no tests here so can't be tempted!

However, I'm on a week off between jobs so plenty of time on my hands.. bet I go and get a test 😂

What are you thinking?

OP posts:
peach1234 · 07/12/2020 16:03

@beckyBP I've actually got a couple of friends like that too, one that had ivf after trying for years with her first then got pregnant the first month trying for her 2nd so we'll see!
When is everyone testing?? Are we trying to wait until AF due?

Welcome @Hannah199y that sounds positive. I'm assuming that's not common for you in your cycle.

Did you test? Xx

@bluemagicalsky well it's a very good sign. I think it's good to remain positive without getting over excited. PMA and all that jazz.

I know what you mean. If I get my BFP I'm going to wrap it up with a babygrow and give my fiancé an early Xmas present and then discuss with him telling family Christmas Day. Here I go getting ahead of myself again 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

Let us know how you get on!! Xx

@kaffy197 I know what you mean. I google EVERYTHING I feel! So do feel like I've learnt so much since TTC that I actually never knew before!

This is my 6th month ttc. It's crazy I genuinely was convinced I'd be very pregnant by now. My Mum caught first time with both me and by sister!

@peach1234 ive heard it does/can happen quicker the 2nd time round. My sister tried for 7 months with her first and caught first month with her 2nd.

Hmm I'm not sure. Have you tested yet?

OP posts:
peach1234 · 07/12/2020 15:55

@Hannah199y I had the same yesterday and trying so hard to resist the urge to test! When's AF due for you? I'm due sat x

Hannah199y · 07/12/2020 10:44

I'm joining you on your TTW! I'm 7dpo, had what I think was implantation bleed, a wipe of pink/red cm on 5dpo after DTD.
Tempted to test today!

bluemagicalsky · 07/12/2020 10:26

@beckyBP I'm trying not to get my hopes up but it is very hard not to. I haven't got the same symptoms as last month leading up to AF so far. Yes! It is just so hard isn't it!

Thank you! That would be amazing.

I've been thinking about this too, and I think I'd be tempted to share the news early. I guess then I'd have my families love and support around me for that worrying first trimester.
Everything crossed for you!! I'm excited to test on Friday, although if I have 2 days back pain this week, I'm sure that's a sign of AF!

Melonbee90 · 07/12/2020 10:05

@beckyBP if you can't get a gp appointment you can always get advice and information through NHS Direct/111 :) (im a call handler for the service in Wales) you can call for all kinds of health queries its brill Smile

kaffy197 · 06/12/2020 21:31

Hi @beckyBP

Yes will retest in a few days. It's mad how I'm constantly looking out for symptoms etc 😆 and how scientific getting pregnant can become!

I'm optimistic about my temperature but the back of my brain always thinks it will be negative!

How many months TTC are you?

Jordie24 · 06/12/2020 21:31

Hey everyone I’m 7DPO today, also due on 14th December. I had ewcm 2 days before predicted ovulation so hoping that means I ovulated! So hoping for a nice Xmas present of a bfp! 2nd cycle of pill x

peach1234 · 06/12/2020 21:23

@beckyBP this is what I'm hoping! Was a shock to see it and I'll be even more shocked if it's happened the first month!We tried for 7 months then decided to stop for a while then tried again and I got pregnant on the 5th month of ttc. All I remember last time was that I had cramps before AF was due and that never normally happened for me, I'd always come on and then get cramps.
Trying to wait to test but it's so hard and I've got tests coming tomorrow and I know I'll cave. Not sure how long it takes to show on a test after implanting though does anyone know?

@peach1234 hey Hun! Could that be implementation? Did you get any implantation bleeding last time. 🤞🏽🤞🏽 it is! How long did it take you with baby no 1 xx

Her @kaffy197 that's a good sign if your temp
Is still high right?

Ah would be so lovely to give your husband that as a birthday present. Why don't you retest 10dpo?

I know what you mean,. My fertile window next month falls over Christmas Day and Boxing Day and I don't know when we'd find the time 😅

I'm feeling crampy and a little achy tonight 7/8 dpo and AF due in 1 week. Xx

peach1234 · 06/12/2020 21:13

Please can I join too!
Only on first cycle of TTC baby no 2 but already so impatient with TWW, not a good start!
Due AF 12th and I think I'm 9DPO, had a tiny bit of blood when I wiped earlier and cramps today, my periods have been really long the last few months so hoping it's not just my period come early.

@Melonbee90 wow amazing! 🤞🏽 it's nice and quick for you this time round.

This is our 6th cycle and I'm genuinely considering booking a drs appointment. I know you shouldn't until 1 year but I feel like if there is something wrong it's better to know sooner than later!

OP posts:
kaffy197 · 06/12/2020 21:00

Hi all

I'm in the same boat! 7dpo and AF due on the 10th (my LP is usually 10/11 days)
I am weirdly obsessing this month- probably because I temp and my temperature is consistently higher than normal after ovulation this month.

I did a test today 🙈 which I know was pointless because it's too early, but sometimes I can't help myself! I'm not usually this obsessed but DH's birthday next weekend so wouldn't that be a good present! Usually I just try to wait and see if AF comes.

If bfn this month then we will have to ttc over the Christmas period which sounds a bit stressful whilst staying with family (although I wouldn't say no to some wine!)

Also last month I had the heaviest most sudden AF just for two days which was completely abnormal and the more I think about it the more I think it was more than just AF?? I'm probably overthinking.

How is everyone else doing? Smile

Melonbee90 · 06/12/2020 20:31

@beckyBP

It only took us 1 cycle with my first but we dtd every other day for a whole month and I was taking pre conception vitamins for about 4 months before trying so I feel that played a part in my fast conception
I'm a lot more unhealthy/unfit this round too 🙈

Hey @Dreamer30 hopefully all good signs for you! How incredible would a Christmas BFP be!! 🤞🏽

Hey @Melonbee90 it's definitely possible! How long did it take you with your first if you don't mind me asking?

@mooloop hoping for a super speedy week too. Although it's my week off (between jobs) so also want to enjoy it 😅

Hey @Chica1990 so sorry to hear about your eptopic. That must have been awful for you. Huuuuge good luck to you and let us know how you get on please 🤞🏽🤞🏽 for you.

I feel really crampy this evening. 7/8 dpo I think.. now I'm para that this is actually ovulation and I ovulate a lot later than I thought which would mean a super shot LP.. who bloody knows 🤦🏼‍♀️
