Anyone else on the TWW and hoping for a Christmas miracle

Hi everyone,

This is our first cycle TTC, and whilst I promised myself I would stay calm and collected, truthfully I am the total opposite. I can't switch off from thinking about it.

It's taken my OH a while to come to terms with trying to start a family. Whilst we have been together since we were 15 (now 27) he always wanted to earn more, to have a bigger house etc but he's come to finally realise that it's never the right time and we just have to go for it. I was so so pleased he was finally ready but promised we would keep it relaxed and calm. If it happens, it happens,

But working from home and not having anything else to do, I just can't switch off from my mind wondering 🙈 wondered if there was anyone else in the same boat who just wants to chat really?

I'm due AF on Christmas Day so it would be such a Christmas miracle if she doesn't come.

Do the proper one! ❤️

Mariex1989 · 10/02/2021 17:36

@Foundmyfeet @ELBlack haha bless you both ☺️
Still confused with which to do tomorrow, cheap or “proper”. If I still get faint lines I may do a digital. We’re having a “date night” on Friday so would be nice to know by then. I’m not telling even telling OH I’m testing as he was really disappointed last time after the faints were evaps

ELBlack · 10/02/2021 16:33

@Foundmyfeet I love how excited we are 😂😂

ELBlack · 10/02/2021 16:32

@Mariex1989 it's definitely not a squinter, I can see it without opening the photo!! Omg can't wait for your fmu 😂

Foundmyfeet · 10/02/2021 16:31

I'm so excited!!! I signed in on the laptop so I could zoom in on your photo and it's 100% there!! I don't think I can wait until tomorrow morning for you to test again so I can only imagine how you're feeling! Lol!

Mariex1989 · 10/02/2021 16:22

@ELBlack eeek I hope so 🤞🏻. Realllllly trying not to get too excited, but by tonight I’ll probably have the name, furniture and school picked out 😂.
Just annoying as I have no clue what DPO I am and whether it should or shouldn’t be stronger if it was true.
Was looking at the pics I took and this one wasn’t focused properly but think it actually shows it more. Arghh I need to STOP 😂

@Mariex1989 also the line is pink!!! Omg I'm so excited

ELBlack · 10/02/2021 15:47

@Mariex1989 I've never tried one of those tests but that really doesn't look like an indent! 😁😁😁

Mariex1989 · 10/02/2021 15:18

@Foundmyfeet @ELBlack thanks for making me feel like it’s not just me that can see it 😂. Only reason I felt I needed to test is because my boobs are getting more sore and not easing off like they do before AF. Just stocked up on wine as well expecting it to realistically be stark white 🙈 imagine my shopping trolley with pregnancy tests and wine 😂

I’m obsessing over it now so going to take the dog out for a long walk to take my mind off it. If it’s ANOTHER indent I must win some kind of award for most indents 😂🙈 trying not to get my hopes up.

I have another cheapie and the clear blue so light do the cheapie tomorrow and save the other for Friday dependant on the outcome

ELBlack · 10/02/2021 15:07

@Mariex1989 omg omg that 100% there!! That's exactly what my frer looked like at 9dpo omg I'm soooo hoping it's a BFP!!! Do you have another to do tomorrow morning?! Eeeekkkkk

Foundmyfeet · 10/02/2021 15:01

I can see something!! OMG!! Do another one tomorrow morning! OMG!!

Mariex1989 · 10/02/2021 14:29

So, I was shopping today and thought I’d buy a cheapie test to satisfy my need to POAS and I’ve got this. I don’t know what to make of it. There’s definitely something there but after last cycles ridiculous indents I just don’t know 😩. This was just now on afternoon pee, knew I should have been strong and wait for fmu!! Arghhh.

What do you think? Have I lost the plot?

Mariex1989 · 09/02/2021 18:24

Scan day 🙈 *test day

Mariex1989 · 09/02/2021 18:23

@Foundmyfeet such an fab achievement! I found my old Fitbit out the other day and it’s hit home at how lazy I’m being since WFH and pushed my ass into gear.

@ELBlack eeek nearly scan time! I’m excited for you.

I don’t think I’m even going to make it until scan day, AF feels imminent 🥺

ELBlack · 09/02/2021 18:18

@Foundmyfeet 18lbs is amazing! I always find once I've made some progress it's easier to keep going, and also easier with the better weather coming 🤞

I'm so desperate to start feeling better so I can exercise and eat healthily again. I feel like a little mole living off beige food 😂

Eeek exciting week!

Foundmyfeet · 09/02/2021 17:56

Thanks ladies! I am proud of myself. I just hope I don't fall off the wagon as I have done so many times already. Hmm

So we've got an exciting weekend ahead of us! Friday testing and Saturday scanning!! 🎉

ELBlack · 09/02/2021 09:51

@Foundmyfeet well done in your weightloss! That's incredible, you should be so proud. I'm obsessed with lupin, so addictive 😍

@Mariex1989 Friday will come super quickly and good work is keeping you distracted!

Mariex1989 · 09/02/2021 09:10

@Foundmyfeet omg wow! That is incredible!!!! Big big big well done to you. You must be so proud of yourself.

Yeah true! I’m not actually tempted to test today thank god. I’ll wait until Friday I think (try). Works super busy so keeping my temptations away.

It’s good isn’t it! Heard Lupin is good too but haven’t started that yet x

Foundmyfeet · 08/02/2021 22:22

Weight loss is going well. Now down 18lbs. Clothes are fitting soooo much better and I feel really good about myself. Been taking long walks too and yesterday I did a yoga class with a new instructor and he almost killed my arms! Lol!

There's not much between tomorrow and the 11th. In one way it would be good to see AF so you can start tracking again. On the other, it would be better if she didn't come and you got a BFP instead!

Been watching How to get away with Murder...so good! I'm also watching Lupin but have to wait for DH to come home as he's watching it with me.

Mariex1989 · 08/02/2021 20:46

@Foundmyfeet ah could have been with the backache? Eeek perfect, if it’s not this month at least you don’t have the stress of your DH working away ☺️.
How’s your weight loss going btw?

I restored my app’s 🙈 one says AF is due tomorrow and the other says 11th. I’ll go with the latter considering my last ridiculous cycle. But I have been having some “niggling” (only way I can describe it) recently so think she’s on her way. On one hand I’ll be glad if she comes on time but obviously disappointed, even though I know realistically this month is a miss.

What a bloody rollercoaster this all is hey!

Foundmyfeet · 08/02/2021 19:15

Well let's see what happens. I normally do get OV pains without fail. In saying that, my lower back was killing me this morning so I'm not sure if that was it? DH went away again this morning. He's back on Thursday. No more plans to work away again in the near future so we can get cracking on with it all!

I heard another pregnancy announcement on Friday. That makes 3 due in August now.

Mariex1989 · 07/02/2021 21:55

@Foundmyfeet that’s good, maybe you haven’t missed your date then ☺️ Do you always get ovulation pains?

@ELBlack maybe! I think because I’ve only got one left I don’t want to waste it by testing early.

My friend has just announced her pregnancy today too, and although I’m obviously happy for her it hit quite hard. I was doing so well not being a crazy woman this cycle but I think that’s tipped me over the edge and now I’m back to googling everything 😂.

ELBlack · 07/02/2021 21:07

Thanks ladies @Foundmyfeet @Mariex1989 I know they do, and I keep reminding myself to try and not panic. I'm still a tired bloated mess 😂 roll on the scan for sure!

@Mariex1989 oooh that's a good idea, as tempting as it is, I'd probably wait until day after AF was due too. Hopefully boobs are a sign as they can be so similar to pms signs 🤞

@Foundmyfeet ah well even if you did ovulate later you're probably still in with a chance because sperm can survive up to 5 days 🤞

Foundmyfeet · 07/02/2021 19:50

@ELBlack symptoms come and go all the time. Your body is still adjusting and just like @Mariex1989 said, the nausea will come back and you'll wish it away again.
Roll on next Saturday for your scan! You must be excited!

@Mariex1989 I'm due on the 20th. But I realised earlier that I didn't have my normal ovulation pains so I don't think I ovulated despite the CM.

Mariex1989 · 07/02/2021 14:51

@Foundmyfeet oh bless you that’s so sweet! Fingers crossed you caught it eep, when would you be due on?

@ELBlack try not to worry about your symptoms coming and going, I think it’s only normal isn’t it. Couple of days you’ll probably end up with full on sickness again wishing it was back to none 😂. Roll on your scan so your mind can be put to rest!

I’m due on 11th apparently. Starting to get pms boobs so I think she will actually be on time this month! Only difference is my nipples are killing from this bloody chafing 😩. I have one clear blue test left from last cycle and I’m refusing to waste money on anymore so if she doesn’t come by the weekend I might think about testing x
