TWW - let’s keep each other sane!

Officially in the tww after a temp spike yesterday morning and this morning. I’m around 2dpo today, we are onto cycle 4 of ttc baby no 1 which isn’t a long time really but feels like a lifetime. Really hoping this is my month 🤞✨

Usually I go mad googling symptoms and driving myself crazy during the whole wait only for AF to show each month so thought I’d change it up and make a wee thread for people also in the tww. We can all keep each other sane!! Feel free to join everyone is welcome!

@Grace185 😂 A high cervix is good! I was a bit taken aback by the thought of checking my own and by now i often just wonder how it's doing and have a little poke! I do that rather than POAS when AF is due. Find it much easier than seeing a negative test!

@33Carr nah that’s great thanks. You know what I only starting sticking my finger up there a few days before I was predicted ov. I think I felt my cervix that day but can’t find it since! TMI haha

@Grace185 I use the Femometer app which I find quite correct and also OPKs and track CM. My CM is all over the place though, some months I have loads and others I don't seem to get any discharge but when I check my cervix it's very wet. I read up that even though you might not see any, you'll probably have plenty up inside (sorry if that's TMI 😂) and that's where it needs to be!

@Dex1521 yeah the ttw working from home is hard. I’m a events manager at a charity do my work has be demolished but but a lot of virtual events on so it’s been a (fun at times but also stressful) learning curve haha!

Hi @33Carr and @stillfeelingmad! Sorry to hear it’s taken so long Carr! How do you normally keep track of your cycle? @stillfeelingmad where are you on your journey?

Ok do I have a question. I’m confused really. It’s my first try so tried tracking cm which was ewcm about cd 15 and cd17 so we dtd a lot around then (most evenings from cd14) my Clue app says I ov on cd17 from a 30day cycle. The problem is I only had one real cycle from coming off the pill (was only on it 8 months and I tried two types and both made me a terrible human). Before the pill I could get a 35 day cycle which would put ov around today. The last few days I dried right up but this morning I had more cm again?! I’m so confused!

Ooh me too please, I'm due af on 21st and the wait is keeping me crazy! Googling every tiny little thing I feel Grin

Hi both 🙋🏻‍♀️ mind if I join? I'm 1DPO today, been on this TTC rollercoaster for 12 months now so I'm quite familiar with the TWW! Doesn't make it any easier though haha!! Glad to have others in a similar stage to reign me in at times 😂

@Grace185 hi! Glad to see someone else has joined. How exciting its your first month! All I do is google and watch YouTube videos constantly about ttc and feel like I need to stop 😂 so thought somewhere that anyone who is in the tww could talk as it’s a rough two weeks trying to wait it out as I’m a pg test addict lol. Plus we could discuss any symptoms and compare others experiences maybe but I’ve made a pact with myself no symptom spotting until after 7dpo 😂

Yeah been working from since March 2020 and it drives me mad, especially since ttc - we started in October 2020 as we thought what are we waiting for. Are you working from home?

Hey @Dex1521 I’m there too. Roughly 4dpo and af due around the 22nd. It’s my first ttw for #1 and I can see why you get obsessed, I already am! So are you talking about unrelated things on here? Are you currently working from home during lockdown?
