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!

Anyone able to have a look at my chart please. Big drop again today right down to the crosshairs. Also had 0 symptoms no cramps or anything which is so unlike me I usually have all the symptoms going.

I've read that one or two before a positive result is totally fine, you only get positive results once it's implanted so before that not connected to your blood stream

@strangerontheinternet I do but don't go wild maybe 2 or 3 ciders as I don't drink wine (well I do but end up legless 😂) you can't put your life on hold for something you can't control and I go by the saying "if it's not pink it's ok to have a drink". Plus me and OH only have a drink Friday and Saturday night.

Think of all the people who go on benders before they know they're pregnant. I had a ex friend went to ibiza for a mad one and she found out she was 4months when she got home and had a healthy full term baby

8/9 dpo today and after a shitty week I'm having wine tonight. Now I feel guilty... does anyone else have a few glasses in tww?

Grace185 · 16/01/2021 16:22

@Dex1521I’m the same! Af due this coming Friday but was going to wait until 28th as unsure about my cycle but I might do it next weekend of af hasn’t turned up!

@stillfeelingmad definitely got plenty of time you're in your prime! Really hoping you get good news with your next test in a few days. I'm 23 so also plenty of time but my OH is 40 so we wanted to start straight after we got married and seeing as our wedding has been pushed 3years because of covid we thought we'd start now and hope to be successful. I'm into my 4th month now and still nothing yet. I hope this is my month too but have 0 symptoms so not feeling hopeful

That's ok @Dex1521 honestly I'm not particularly hopeful, it's our first month of trying and we're only 30 so it's totally fine, I've got some more coming Tuesday on a boots order so can try then and should have a clearer answer Grin

@stillfeelingmad I think I see something but not 100% sure sorry. It looks like the dye has run at the bottom on the test so it could be an evap line. Sorry to be such a Debbie downer if you can wait deffo wait a few days and retest it should deffo be stronger then

@coffee1988 it's not over till af arrives! :-)

coffee1988 · 16/01/2021 11:58

Just caved and tested (9dpo) and not even a hint of a line! I’ll give it another go, probably tomorrow and the next day but not feeling hopeful at all this month :-(

Fifi1086 · 16/01/2021 11:46

@stillfeelingmad I actually sat there after laughing at myself. What was I expecting 😂😂😂it's only my first month and to be honest all I want now is a big gin and tonic, so if it's not my month this month at least I've that to look forward to in 11 days or so!

stillfeelingmad · 16/01/2021 11:37

Oh @Fifi1086 you've made me feel better!! Thanks at least you can't be disheartened by a negative result there's still a good chance Grin

Fifi1086 · 16/01/2021 11:36

@stillfeelingmad if you think you're driving yourself mad, I did a test today at 3dpo 😂😂 I've now asked DP to hide the tests. I need protection from myself!

stillfeelingmad · 16/01/2021 11:21

Thanks all, going to forget about this weekend and maybe pick up another test next week, trying to wait now till af actually due, I'm driving myself daft with it, just a bit keen as it's first month lol

ree348 · 16/01/2021 09:46

@stillfeelingmad Hi! When you test this early it's better to do with a first response as they are more sensitive and can be used 5 odd days before your expected period date. Good luck!

AnyTimeSoon · 16/01/2021 08:51

Hi Dex Smile ! this symptom thing is so tricky. I'm thinking Wed. But will see how I feel by then.
Just been reading up sooo much on symptoms and every person is so different. Guess we will just have to keep going.

@AnyTimeSoon we are cycle twins! Did you say when you're gonna test I can't remember. I'm gonna test Wednesday or Friday (10 or 12DPO). I have 0 symptoms whatsoever this cycle don't know if that's good or bad only thing is I have a really blocked nose which happens every tww for me.

Yesterday I had a big dip in temp then today it went back up so don't know what could've caused that. Doubt Implantation as too early for that.

@stillfeelingmad I'm not sure if I can see anything or not. I prefer pink dye as they're less likely to run. Maybe test again in 2 days. It allows HCG to increase and use an FRER if you have any. I know Superdrug had them on offer just before Christmas £8 instead of £11 I think.

Sorry to be tmi but does a bit of rectal pressure feel normal. Like heaviness rather than actually wanting to go to the loo.

Lockdownbabywishes · 16/01/2021 08:28

Hi All, just joined mumsnet today. I’m on month 2 of ttc and 11 dpo. Doesn’t the TTW just feel like forever. 😱 I’ve been driving myself insane checking every little symptom I’ve had on google. Think I need to try and relax and be patient but it’s not in my nature :(

stillfeelingmad · 16/01/2021 08:24

I appreciate it @SenoraSurf but in real life I looked from every angle and it was WHITE
Guess we will see what happens in 5 days!!
