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.

BFN for me this morning! Gutted but at least we have Christmas to look forward too!🤷🏽‍♀️💔

Thanks girls ❤️
I feel like if I get a BFN it’ll make me more emosh than I would be, but then if I got a BFP it would be the perfect thing to uplift us all (I’d more than likely tell my mum).

@DollyMixtureStocking thanks for that! I might just be sensible and not over do it. I know soooo many people that went all out before even realising they were pregnant. Makes me feel better 😊. Maybe get an early detection one before so you know?

DollyMixtureStocking · 16/12/2020 21:37

@Mariex1989 you’ve further on than me in your cycle then, I got positive OPK on Sunday morning, so I probably ovulated only on Monday.
I’m sorry to hear about your dad. I wouldn’t recommend it but I got drunk before I found out I was having my son as I didn’t think I would be pregnant at all. He’s 4 now and he’s fine!
I’m in a similar situation with being due AF on the 27th, do I test early so I can relax and have a drink or do I just wait!

jasmineh · 16/12/2020 21:36

@Mariex1989 I think I’m going to do that! So baby dust for me ✨✨✨✨🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🌈🌈
I’m so sorry to hear about your dad passing💔 I’m also meant to be drinking Sat night so another reason why I’d like to test beforehand! If I was you I’d do one if af doesn’t arrive Friday or Sat morning!

ELBlack · 16/12/2020 21:31

@Mariex1989 I think Monday as that's what I think to be 13dpo (I never actually caught my peak, but has a pelvic scan last Saturday and they said I'd recently ovulated so just assumed it was on the 8th as that was the day I had the darkest lines, but I did continue to get highs on my LH tests until 10th)

When are you testing?

Mariex1989 · 16/12/2020 21:27

@ELBlack it’s so annoying how the symptoms are similar to the ones of AF isn’t it! Sounds promising though, when you testing?

@DollyMixtureStocking I don’t really know 😂 one app is saying 9 days and the other is saying 12dpo. I haven’t been tracking and just going off the apps. We DTD throughout to try cover ourselves.

@jasmineh it’s funny isn’t it, everyone’s different so guess you can’t just go off what google says.
Is there 2 tests in the pack you got? If so if just don’t one tomorrow or Friday Smile

My mums over on Saturday night and (not to be morbid) but it’s the 1 year anniversary of my dad passing so she’s going to want to have a drink with me. So I don’t know whether to test before then or not 🙈 awkward

ELBlack · 16/12/2020 21:11

@Mariex1989 @jasmineh

Eeek trying not to get too excited as I've also started getting lower backache this evening, so think it might just be AF coming ☹️

DollyMixtureStocking · 16/12/2020 21:09

@Mariex1989 how many DPO are you? It’s a minefield isn’t it haha x

jasmineh · 16/12/2020 21:04

@ELBlack this is defo a symptom for some ladies!

@Mariex1989 I really hope so! I’m not sure if tomorrow is too early, really unsure! What do you think?! I always check mine but it really isn’t an indicator other than for ovulation! When I was pregnant with my angel baby my cervix was low and hard but high cervix is supposed to show you’re pregnant so I don’t believe it myself!!!! You’re not out till af! Or do a test😬🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼!!!x

Mariex1989 · 16/12/2020 20:46

@jasmineh hopefully the clear blue will give you the positive Smile when you going to use it?
Not long but I’ve just checked my cervix (was really adverse to doing this cos it cringed me out 😂) and it’s low but soft. I know they say it’s not a definite symptom but still, feel I’m out!

@ELBlack my sister had a sniffly nose/cold symptoms when she first found out (before she’d even told us) so could be a definite sign for you!!!

ELBlack · 16/12/2020 20:33

Hey ladies, I'm 8dpo and feeling a bit cold like all of a sudden. Not unwell in any other way, but my voice keeps going croaky and breaking (no sore throat/cough) I get random spouts of sneezing, with sniffy and runny nose, and my cheeks have been really hot for a couple of days. Does anyone know if this is a sign? Could just be time of year mixed with my desperation to be pregnant 😂

jasmineh · 16/12/2020 20:19

@Mariex1989 not long to wait then!! Let’s hope she doesn’t come🤞🏼 I’m due next Tuesday so still early really!!!! I’ve just been to Tesco and brought a pack of clear blue 6 days sooner tests. So annoying that the supermarkets around me don’t sell first response!

Mariex1989 · 16/12/2020 19:37

@DollyMixtureStocking I’ve no idea. It’s odd for me not to have sore boobs this time of the cycle, but then it’s also an early sign of pregnancy isn’t it so god knows 🙈
I’m just questioning whether I ovulated this month due to the lack of PMS boobs x

DollyMixtureStocking · 16/12/2020 19:16

@Mariex1989 I have got sore boobs too a few days after ovulation and I’m taking that as I haven’t conceived as it’s surely the start of PMS?! x

Mariex1989 · 16/12/2020 18:44

Just been looking back at my app and what symptoms I’ve put in in the past. Like clockwork I’d had sore PMS boobs starting a few days after ovulation but nothing at all this month. Maybe I haven’t ovulated this month Sad

Mariex1989 · 16/12/2020 18:36

@jasmineh if going by the last cycles I’ve taken conceive plus on, it’ll be due Friday. Otherwise anytime up until Christmas Eve. She likes to tease me and show up anytime in that week :p. What about you?

Maybe just do an early response one? And then if it’s positive that’d be great birthday present! But even if it’s negative then don’t feel slumped it’ll still be super early and time to turn into a BFP Smile

jasmineh · 16/12/2020 18:17

@Mariex1989 I have a busy weekend too but it’s my OH’s birthday Sunday and I’d love to surprise him with our rainbow baby😩 when is your period due? I’m so tempted to test tomorrow morning. Ahhhh I know it’ll be negative but!!!!! So hard x

Mariex1989 · 16/12/2020 17:15

@jasmineh I think having AF arrive is easier then seeing a negative test.
When did say you were going to test? Monday was it?
I’m having a busy weekend last minute Christmas shopping so that’ll keep my mind off it hopefully. Luckily my mums in my bubble too and coming over so that’ll stop me POAS x

jasmineh · 16/12/2020 16:57

@Mariex1989 Omg! Yeah I don’t want to see bfn either!! I didn’t use opks this month but in my head I’m 9dpo after feeling ovulation pains and cervix position!! But could slightly less obviously!

Mariex1989 · 16/12/2020 16:44

@jasmineh one app is saying 9dpo and the other is says 12dpo. If AF hasn’t arrived by the weekend I’ll get a test I think. Going to hold off as long as possible cos I’m scared of another BFN 🙈😂

jasmineh · 16/12/2020 16:11

@Mariex1989 how many dpo are you? It’s a good sign you thought she was coming but still only cm!!!!!

Mariex1989 · 16/12/2020 15:19

@jasmineh so awful Sad really hoping you get your BFP very soon and all goes well xx

I was convinced AF was coming but nothing and (sorry TMI) but today I’ve had a load of white cm which I’ve never had at this stage in my cycle. Not sure what to think of it. Most likely just clinging onto any symptom (don’t even know if it is a symptom tbh) 😂.

So glad I don’t have any tests in the house otherwise I know I’d be taking on.

How’s everyone getting on?

jasmineh · 16/12/2020 09:49

@Foundmyfeet hahahaha!!!! That’s how I feel about her pregnancy though! It’s the jealousy!!! I just couldn’t believe it!
How long have you been ttc for? Omg imagine a bfp for your birthday, my everything is crossed for you!🤞🏼
@Mariex1989 It’s the most painful both physical and emotional thing I have ever been through. It felt like my world had just crumbled💔

Mariex1989 · 16/12/2020 09:26

@Foundmyfeet that’s a lot of announcements! Fingers crossed you’ll get to make one of your own very soon Smile
I know what you mean! When you get a BFN it’s like why the hell did I waste this money for no reason?? I haven’t got any tests at home so I’m going to try wait as long as my patience allows before going to buy any more.
I can’t imagine what you and @jasmineh went through with your mmc’s, must be such a tough time Sad xxx
