3 days into the TWW and already struggling!!

@laueli have you tested at all? How are you feeling? X

@Sesamechick your exactly the same as me time wise!

AF is due on 31st and I'm pretty certain we are out this month due to us having covid it must have affected both our bodies so I don't even think I'll bother testing.
I'll pour myself a glass of gin and try next month 🤞

Hey all
AF due 27th
Positive Ov test on Jan 15th
Tested this morning but sometimes i see what I want to see. I know its too early to test but really hoping x

Hi, new here!
Hope no one minds me joining in with tww. I'm 10dpo, tested Tuesday bfn but obviously early days.
Sypmtoms are little different to what comes with af.. Sore boob (yes only one side gives me hell 😂) a dull heaviness in my left lower tummy, tiredness like you wouldn't believe but that's a combination of a three year old and working days and nights possibly.
First month ttc, no pill for 2 years so nothing to get out of the system.
Tww is the longest time ever!

@ChloM1234 stay strong and try not to test until af has/hopefully hasn't arrived 🤞.
I'm due anytime now , started spotting yesterday which I always do just before af so am probably out.

BFN for me.

I'm going to start using OPKs now.
Is the clearblue touch screen fertility monitor any good or shall I give opks a try first?

@scandiontheloose, thanks for the welcome. I was on the copper coil but it did not agree with me at all. I don't know how i lasted so long with it. I am glad it's out, I was having very long, painful and heavy cycles. I have heard of Flo on here a lot. I might download it. I am using My Tracker and so far it seems ok. Might start BBT as well. Hope it's a positive one for you .

@Sparkles512, awwwh the wait is so frustrating. I feel like I am wishing my days away as I keep getting a flashing smiley face. I thought I had already ovulated so finding the whole process quite confusing. Will carry on POAS but track my dpo based on earlier ovulation symptoms as well. Fingers crossed for you

This TTW is dragging so much we have covid and I'm on furlough to who knows when!
It would be fine if I could tell myself it's okay if I don't get pregnant this month we will book a little holiday to take our minds off it... Oh wait we can't even leave the house to see our families 😢
Feel like I'm on such a downer at the moment and a baby would give us and our families something to look forward to.

@Emmgrem I will do my best not to test too early. Last cycle I went a bit nuts and tested every day after 6DPO 😂🙈
I'm not doing temp but might get into it if this cycle is BFN as tracking temp might help getting ovulation more accurate. Your dip sounds promising tho 🙌🏼 fingers crossed.

@BebeBelle welcome to the TWW club 😁 I had my nexaplanon out last august and I think my body is still a wee bit haywire after it and get very irregular cycles. Tracking my periods on Flo has helped me predict them a wee bit better. Only track CM for ovulation right now but may start BBT after this cycle if it's not a positive test next week.

Hi everyone, can I join you please? I'm quite new to this. TTC #1 after long term copper coil which I had removed on 4th December. Not figured out what my cycle is like yet. I'm cd21 and I thought I should have been on 8/9 dpo based on 'ovulating pain' I had before but then I've just started getting the flashing smiley face on cb - 3rd day. This process is so confusing 🙃. It's nice to share this journey with others.

@fairgame84 It's hard to know because some people say they had 0 symptoms the month they were preg. And then other times your crazy 'symptoms' all turn out to be pms 🤷🏻‍♀️
Haha my DH wouldn't even know what the tww was! I keep him out of the stress and I'll surprise him if I get a positive test

@scandiontheloose hold out as long as you can! You could still be implanting! I'm doing the same with the symptoms list. It's why I knew to ignore sore boobs and cramping this time.
Do you temp? I know my temp fell at 9dpo last month so if it's still up by then this time I'll be tempted to test at 10-12dpo 🤞😬

@Emmgrem 7DPO today. Hate TWW. Started a wee note thing to keep track of my symptoms so if it's BFN I'll know next time. Trying hard not to test too soon. Trying to wait until at least 10/11DPO 🙈

9dpo. Boobs still sore but have been since ovulation.
I don't feel any different at all so not hopeful this month.
I wanted to do a FRER tomorrow but DP wants to wait till AF due.

How are you all getting on and what dpo are you? I'm 6dpo today- it's dragging so much!!
Have a few cramps but feels pretty much the same as ovulation pain. I went for a run yesterday and it almost felt like pre AF cramps then.
Boobs went as sore as last month.
I have pms symptoms (which I obv thought were preg symptoms) for the whole tww last time!

@sesamechick yeah it's the most frustrating thing although, assumed it would take a while to normalise after coming off the pill but didn't think it would be over a year! Although my cycles are anything between 22 and 29 days and I know there are people far worse off than me. However I always get 2/3 days spotting before so that's when I know it's on its way!

@LAnna20

Its madness. I am in so much pain. My lower back is so sore. Cant stand up straight. Haven't injured it or anything. Not sure what else it could be!
Must be so frustrating not knowing when your AF is due

Hi all on cycle 16 of TTC (month 14).
@sesamechick Ive also had back pain since yesterday and although I am sure its probably nothing but doesn't help in the tww. I also still don't have very consistent cycles so never really know when to expect the dreaded AF.

@scandiontheloose thanks!
Oh thank Gd thats what i thought but wanted to make sure lol
I'm currently also in the TWW. AF due 27th. Positive ovulation 15th
X

@Sesamechick

Two week wait. It's the waiting game between ovulation and taking a pregnancy test/getting your period.

What does TWW stand for?

This is my second cycle of TTC.
I haven't used ovulation tests yet but I think I might for the next cycle if they work.
I'm getting all my usual pre menstrual symptoms so I don't think this is my month for a bfp.

Hi @ChloM1234 my period returned in October following my miscarriage and been TTC since then. This is the first month I have used ovulation sticks. Going to keep doing them until I get my next period, they definitely help me stop doing pregnancy tests all the time too! Going to hold out doing a pregnancy test til 30th January too, god it feels so long away though 🥴
