TWW - let’s keep each other sane!

Dex1521 · 12/01/2021 08:00

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!

@Dex1521 not long to wait!! For early detection pregnancy tests, defs test first thing. OPKs are better in the afternoon. If they're both Easley detection, it shouldn't make a lot of difference. The only thing I will say is that lots of people prefer pink dye tests for reading faint lines. Good luck!!

@Glenpatrick aw bless you. Well hopefully you are pregnant! It's such a long wait isn't it?!

Jumping in here....I’m 6 dpo according to the flo app. Didn’t use ovulation strips for the cycle though but fairly confident on the days. Boobs feel huge, exhausted but also some cramping yesterday/today which could be period or implantation - who knows 🤦🏼‍♀️ ! Something sad came on the telly on Sunday night and I was in floods of tears, I’m not a crier the last time that happened I was pregnant (& a fireman died in station 19, not even real life!) so I’m either just very hormonal or preggers !

@Nellieee yeah I'm going to test tomorrow. Are you?

Don't know if I should use FRER or clear blue early detection and if I should use FMU or hold my wee for a few hours

I might do clearblue with FMU and an FRER in the evening if I get a squinter on CB

@Nellieee this is what they're like today 9dpo. They've dropped from that massive spike but are still high even though they don't look it lol. Usually most people get a dip 7dpo for implantation I get a massive spike 🤯 I've got imaginary nausea too and a very dull ache in uterus started around 10pm after some electrical current type twinges. Not as strong as AF cramps but still not getting my hopes up

@stillfeelingmad woo congratulations!! Great start to the week! How do you feel?

@Dex1521 I saw your impressive spike the other day! Have your temps stayed high?

8dpo today and I am getting restless. No real symptoms. Few twinges yesterday and imaginary nausea and ever so slightly tender boobs 😂 How's everyone else getting on?

Ifonly86 · 19/01/2021 09:13

Congrats to those with positives already! I’m 9dpo and stupidly done a test this morning which was bfn. I’ve had the worst boob pain for the last 2 days and cramps so I was so sure I’d get a positive. I was 10dpo with strong positives with my other pregnancies. Is my chart looking positive or should I give up hope? (Temps were taken at the same time every day I’m just too lazy to change them Blush

Yes I've had swollen gums, felt sick at weird times and had some major cramps, at the weekend I had bad cramps up on one side and then i got confused and though maybe I was actually just ovulating really late!

@stillfeelingmad that gives me so much hope!! Did you have any symptoms/ do you?

Around 10pm last night I was getting twinges in my uterus like little electric currents and then it went into a dull mild pulling feeling, which I still have this morning. That all the symptoms I've really had. My past cycles I always got a stabbing pain/cramp in my uterus but this cycle I haven't got it and the cramps I am getting are much weaker feeling than what I get normally

Oh @Dex1521 don't count yourself out yet! I did one 9dpo that was totally blank!

Grace185 · 19/01/2021 08:18

@stillfeelingmad I def see that! Congratulations. I’d just wait a few days and test again to make sure it’s darker

@stillfeelingmad definitely a link line in second photo! If it were me I'd take it as BFP I think. I did an IC this morning at 9dpo and it was stark white unfortunately 😭

stillfeelingmad · 19/01/2021 07:47

Day 12 dpo and this looks a little clearer this morning! I hardly dare believe it though

10dpo today and thought I maybe had a shadow on an IC this afternoon but probably just an evap. Now getting like that dull bubbling cramping in lower belly like AF - has anyone had their usual AF cramps then gone on to have BFP? I think this is a bit early for AF cramps for me I think as AF due Thursday/Friday. Thanks 🤞🏻🙏🏻

Ginini · 18/01/2021 18:34

@stillfeelingmad I know the feeling! Sometime I swear my boobs are sore! Then I wonder if it's because I've been squeezing them so much to see if they are sore 🤔😂
I m ow a lot of women dont get a positive of test till the day af is due, maybe give it a few days and test again!
I had loads of symptoms this month, but they're now all gone, 3 days till af, pretty sure I'm out now!

stillfeelingmad · 18/01/2021 18:22

@Ginini I feel like I've had symptoms everyday Grin but hard to say how many have been in my head from wishful thinking.
Swollen gums this week and nausea on and off, cramps and pains but yesterday I thought I was having ovulation pain because it was only one side. I'm driving myself crazy

Ginini · 18/01/2021 18:16

@stillfeelingmad sorry I e just seen your last message 🙈

Ginini · 18/01/2021 18:15

@stillfeelingmad maybe wait a few days, any symptoms? How many DPO are you?

stillfeelingmad · 18/01/2021 17:31

@strangerontheinternet I think about 10 but only tracking on clue and not using opk or temperature testing, wanted a frrer but the supermarket didn't have any, going to do another Internet strip tomorrow am and see what that brings. I would feel better if it wasn't such a squinted!

strangerontheinternet · 18/01/2021 17:26

@stillfeelingmad I can see a line! 🤞🏻 how many dpo are you? X

stillfeelingmad · 18/01/2021 17:05

Thanks all! I got an even fainter one Saturday, was actually thinking I'm out this month. Will try again tomorrow, only got Internet cheap
Strips atm but surely they will keep getting stronger if it's real/viable

Ginini · 18/01/2021 17:00

@stillfeelingmad I can see a faint line!

Ginini · 18/01/2021 16:59

AF due in 3 days, going crazy symptom spotting 🙈😂
