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!!!

@mooloop exactly! It the way we planned it but we really didn't want to postpone a family / not have the wedding we want (small arms social distance) so finger crossed we'll have one extra guest 👶🏼

It's so frustrating that at this stage the symptoms are pretty much the same for AF of early pregnancy it's not fair! Hoping for a a speedy few days for you!

@kaffy197 🤣 yes! Baby or wine!! Ah that's good! Hopefully 1 more day to wait then to know. That's the thing isn't it, not so easy over Christmas.

Tell me about it! I honestly think education needs to change. It wasn't until I started trying at the age of 29 that I learnt it wasn't as easy as I thought!

So.. last night, went to sleep fine and then woke up at 4 after a crazy vivid dream. Then I was wide awake until gone 6! I had this before a few months ago and it happens for 4/5 days in in my 2nd week of the TWW.. so strange! I never have trouble sleeping ever!!

@beckyBP @mooloop
I'm 9dpo and it does drive you crazy - I was also stress free until about day 6/7 - then it gets closer to either baby or wine 😆

My luteal phase is only about 11 days so I'm due Thursday...it's good to find out a bit sooner, and hopefully it's not too short to affect implementation. I feel completely normal so not too optimistic for this month. If not we have to try over Christmas which will require some planning as staying with family!

I wish it was just you try you get pregnant, this isn't what you're taught in school!

mooloop · 08/12/2020 20:33

Awww well hopefully you'll have your 2022 wedding with a little mini flower girl or page boy in tow 😍

I tried googling but google didn't seem to know 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 I feel bloated too but that would be normal for the lead up to AF. Guess I'll just have to wait and see if it shows up on the weekend/Monday, patience isn't my thing 🙄

@mooloop thanks hun. We did rebook for the September but that cancelled too so now it'll probably be 2022. Really hopeful to conceive first now.

Haha they do say opposites attract!!

Oo have you had a google? I knows ahg you mean. I pay so much more attention to my body now that I'm TTC.. I didn't even notice CM changing before if I'm honest.

I'm having weird cramps today. They aren't really cramps it just all feels a bit tight with the warm twinges now and then 🤔

OP posts:

mooloop · 08/12/2020 20:11

Aww no @beckyBP that's so rubbish about your wedding have you booked another date or just waiting for a bit now?

DH is extremely chilled about everything in life so he's really casual about it all. Good job really when he has a neurotic wife 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

TMI but I've just had a shower and noticed quite a lot of CM (looked like EWCM but surely can't be?!) - what does all this meeeean haha god it's so annoying noticing all these things so much now! They probably happen every month and I've just never noticed 😂

beckyBP · 08/12/2020 19:58

@mooloop totally! I seem to be super chill until 6/7 dpo and then I freak and over analyse 😂

What does your husband think about TTC?

We were due to get married in June.. (covid cancelled) so one day my fiancé came home from work and I was like LETS HAVE A BABY! 😂 obviously I assumed we'd get married in June and start trying straight away but I think most men just don't think that far in advance.

Took him a couple of weeks to come around to the idea and then he was well up for it. I mean it's fair enough, I've been planning it for years where I guess he hasn't really thought about it. I mean we've only been together 12 bloody years 😂

mooloop · 08/12/2020 19:54

Haha you sound just like me @beckyBP 😂 I'm the same, permanently knackered from work but hoping it's a symptom 🤦🏼‍♀️ constantly googling every little thing!

As far as DH knows I'm playing it very cool and am super chilled about the whole thing 🤫

@mooloop hey Hun!

I'm CD24 also! Either 9 or 10 dpo (haven't monitored for a while) and I've got cramps also!

AF KEEP AWAY FROM US!

Well done for resisting. I think that's the best idea. I don't plan on testing until Monday either. We can try and hold off together.

I've done hardly anything today and feel shattered.. probably because I've done hardly anything but wanting it to be early pregnancy exhaustion.

God this TTC drives you wild.. I used to be SO laid back 🤦🏼‍♀️

OP posts:

mooloop · 08/12/2020 18:52

Hi guys! Just checking in.

I'm CD24 today and I think 9DPO. Still having weird crampy type feelings that seem to change side to side through the day (yesterday felt like a stitch??). I'm convinced AF is en route, but if it comes tonight/tomorrow that's really bloody early for me, not due on til Monday according to the apps 🙄

Good luck to everyone having a go with the early tests! I read that implantation can happen between 6-10DPO, most commonly 9DPO, so I'm resisting the urge for now in case there's even a slight chance I've caught and it's just too early to tell 🤞🏻 I'm moving on Monday (when AF is due) and I've told myself I'm not allowed to POAS until I'm in the new house 😂

@Jordie24 I guess there's no harm in testing but you could get a false negative with it being early.

Hannah199y · 08/12/2020 11:36

Hiya it's me again!

Did another test this morning and frer showed another faint line

Jordie24 · 08/12/2020 11:18

I’m 9po today as anyone else tested at 9dpo? I feel like I want to but soo nervous! And I don’t know if it’s too early. Due AF on 14th xx

Rosie241 · 08/12/2020 05:59

Hello,
Please can I join? I'm 7DPO with AF due on the 14th. It's nice to see others have very similar dates. The TWW is going incredibly slow and I'm trying to put off POAS until the weekend.

BritYYZ · 07/12/2020 23:27

I'm gonna hop on this TWW train. Cycle 2 trying and now 1dpo! Really wanting a BFP just before Christmas. It would be such an amazing gift. Lots of luck girls 🤞

bluemagicalsky · 07/12/2020 23:21

@beckyBP Will try and keep that PMA!
I love that! Sounds amazing and I hope you get to do it! You too ☺️ xx

Testing Saturday, I'll be 14 DPO

peach1234 · 07/12/2020 21:41
