Anyone else on the TWW and hoping for a Christmas miracle

@Mariex1989 - I understand why you would feel a little sad and at the same time relieved that AF has arrived. Like @ELBlack says, at least you're out of limbo now and can get cracking on with the next cycle.
I'm the same as you...bloody hate the gym. I've been on a diet for 2 days and I'm struggling already! Lol!

@ELBlack enjoy getting jiggy! Lol! Sorry, I'm useless when it comes to the finer details about OPK's but the good thing is that you got a BD in the same day you had your peak.

@Alist12 - CONGRATS!! That's fab news!! Keep us posted on your pregnancy journey.

@Tillybabs - Just before I got my BFP with DD, I had some serious cramping and pains. I was at work and struggled to get out of the chair because it was so bad. A week later I got my BFP so you never know!

@Ebhc - I don't track every month due to time and expense. In the last 14 months, I've had 2 pregnancies; one tracked and one not. But also I conceived my DD the day after AF finished so that was a shocker to say the least! If you've been BD-ing quite regularly, hopefully you'll have conceived.

@Sarah239 - Welcome! Yes the TWW is a killer! But you're in good company! Lol!

Hi everyone, I'm a bit late to this thread but I'm 11dpo and the TWW is killing me! My BBT dropped this morning (not super low so could be random, and earlier than I would normally expect it to if AF was coming) which was disappointing as I just felt "different" this month. I think I have got swept up in the idea of a Christmas/NY miracle too. My expectations were to be focusing on IVF/fertility treatments this year but I kept thinking "but what if this is the month?"

We have been TTC since June 2019 and nothing yet :( Had some tests done, sperm analysis "suboptimal" and my blood/hormone levels normal except for "slightly elevated" testosterone but they told us to just keep trying for another 6 months for now. It's so hard to believe it could actually happen after month after month of disappointment but I'm trying not to lose hope. Our next step is a Hycosy scan to rule out blocked tubes but I'm pretty scared of having it tbh incase it causes a uterus infection.

Anyway, fingers crossed for everyone still in the TWW, congrats to the BFPs and thinking of everyone who is disappointed this month xx

Cd19 and I'm really cramping. I hate not knowing if it's ovulation or what's going on. I think I might consider tracking next cycle if this one is unsuccessful.

@ELBlack that’s good - it seems being relaxed is the way to go. I’m not really “with it” when it comes to OPK’s; never really used them.

I’ve deleted my apps and just made a note of when I should expect AF next month (although clearly not reliable anyway) and whatever happens happens x

Hi ladies, looking for some advice, I got my 'peak' earlier this afternoon, and loaded it into my app which said test again in 4 hours, and I did and there was barely a line. Is that normal? Im on cd14 and started using OPK's on cd10 and they have been low, it just seems strange that I had a peak 4 hours ago, and now the line is barely there...

TIA

Welcome @ebhc 😊

@Mariex1989 thank you! I've felt much more relaxed about it all this month, and only tested once a day, whereas before I was testing like 4 times a day!! 🙄

Oooh, sorry to hear about AF but pleased you're out of limbo

@Alist12 best of luck for your scan! Do keep us updated 💕

Welcome @Ebhc 😊 not tracking seems to be the trick at the moment for the people who have got their BFP’s! Good luck! Keep us updated.

@ELBlack get on it girl! Fingers and toes crossed for you!

AF IS FINALLY HERE!!! 🎉
Feeling super relieved but also a bit sad. Hey ho onto the next x

@Alist12 good luck with your scan on Tuesday, keep us posted!

I had a peak LH test this afternoon, which is great because me and DH dtd this morning! Going to do it again tomorrow and hope that this is our month 🤞

@Mariex1989 thankyou so much👏🏼 was a bit shocked to know that my lines were faint and they put me at 4/5 weeks considering 3 years ago I first fell pregnant and my lines were so much more darker at 12 dpo then now but that pregnancy ended in a miscarriage unfortunately.
Just want my miracle baby. When I see the little dot on the scan I will know everything is okay

@Tillybabs so nervous and excited for the scan just in case nothing is there. It's going to be the longest 2 days of my life ughh

Hi, can I join you all? This is my first cycle TTC for my second baby. I didn't do any ovulation tracking, I'm so worried I got the timings wrong and we missed it. AF due 11th and usually have 27 day cycles.

@Mariex1989 I’m not due on till the 7th so will wait and see if anything happens before then.

@Alist12 that’s amazing congratulations!!! Wishing a smooth and healthy pregnancy for you 😊.
That’s what I had today - cramps that felt a bit different to usual, went to the loo and just loads of creamy cm. but I’m CD50 and BFN/v faint lines so I’m deffos not pregnant just need AF to come now 😭.

@Tillybabs eeeek good luck! When you going to test?

@Alist12 thank you and congratulations! 🎉🍾❤️

@Tillybabs I thought I was out this month because of the cramps but now I know it's because of pregnancy. Wishing you all baby dust✨

Me and my fiancé did the deed and he confirmed that I felt a lot softer inside which is apparently a good sign for early pregnancy. The nurse has put me down at 4/5 weeks

@Mariex1989 will do. I do remember when I was pregnant some 8 years ago and I kept getting period pains but it turned out I was pregnant so I do get my hopes up a little but I’m pretty sure it’s AF this time.

@Mariex1989 @ELBlack

Been having mild cramps this morning and thought af had arrived but it was just creamy cm ( tmi ) rang 111 as the pains were getting a bit stronger after a while it turned to a pulling/tingly feeling.
A nurse from the early pregnancy unit rang me back and said I was indeed pregnant and i have now got a scan a on Tuesday to see if everything is okay because of the cramps. I asked about the lines being faint and she said it could be because of the hormone being too high

@Tillybabs AF cramps could be a good sign though 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Keep us posted

@Alist12 good luck for your tests, let us know how you get on.

@Foundmyfeet no problem! Hahaha sounds like you had a great nye! Yeah mine wasn’t too bad thank you. A few bottles of Prosecco went down too easily and I barely made it past midnight 😂.
The dreaded new year regime! I went to the gym yesterday and I’m already bored of it. I wish I was one of these people who loves exercise 🙈

Hi ladies. Yes I’m on that wait and had a good opk reading a few days before Xmas but today I’m having AF cramps 😩😩☹️

HAPPY NEW YEAR LADIES!!

@Alist12 - fingers crossed 🤞🏽 Really hoping for you that the line becomes stronger!

@Mariex1989 - sorry for delayed response! Been recovering from NYE! Boozed it up! Just decided to let my hair down before my strict health regime started. Started today and I've already got a banging headache! How was your NYE?
I couldn't help but chuckle at your comment about the invalid result on the el-cheapo PT! It's luck if the draw really with them!

@ELBlack it would help if I knew when I actually ovulated or how long till AF arrives. I have a feeling that the clear blue digital won't show up pregnant yet as I've counted from the 22nd and it would make me 12dpo tomorrow so I don't know if it's still early or not.
I have 6 pregnancy tests to take in the morning as I'm not bothering to take anymore after tomorrow haha.
All different brands

@Alist12 good luck! Definitely see the lines, so really hoping they progress for you!
