TWW 1dpo

@Islandvgirl I'll try and hold out as long as I can but to be perfectly honest prob the earliest and most realistic time I can test 🤣 I have ZERO patience!

@islandvgirl I'm trying to hold out until next Thursday, that will be 2 days before af is due. I have a 1st response that I will use

Trying for our first since November.
3dpo today and I’m trying my best not to symptom spot as it’s FAR too early.
Miscarried summer 2019 after 10 months of trying so I’m really trying to be realistic about how long this may take and not drive myself too crazy.

Anyone got any tips on tww?!

Some exciting symptoms on here ladies!
When is everyone planning on taking a test? X

Hey lovely ladies hoping I can join in this chat for some support during this nervous time! I'm around 1-3 days PO and due AF around 8-10th feb. This is my first time TTC @Sallyjo27 I was also really hot last night- had to open the window!! Best of luck to all of you! Xx

@Katierose34 we are trying for our first 😊 ive been the same being exhausted but only 3dpo so think I’m just tired from work 🙈

@islandvgirl I have two ds from a previous marriage, age 12 and 9 xx

Omg I feel like I'm going mad! I am so hormonal - flipping between angry and tearful, then exhaustion.
I did a whammy today and got so frustrated at a co-worker that she cried.... I am now mortified and its only 10.45am

...Happy Wednesday people

@Katierose34 - I don’t have any children. How many do you have?
Are you also in TWW?

Anyone else already got children?
The past 3 days I have been exhausted, iv been in bed by 9pm and yesterday fell sound asleep on the sofa for 30mins.

Hi lovely ladies!

Gonna join here - AF due 1st Feb and I spot during ovulation so I know I’m around 8dpo. DP and I aren’t actively trying to conceive but just letting things be (still get rly nervous during ttw haha!)
Have some strange symptoms but not as strong as when I had (what gyno thinks) a chemical in December. Till now a little nauseous, strange cravings (olives and cheese ), and fatigue (I am literally in bed at 8.30pm and nap in the afternoon!!)

Wishing all you ladies luck!! May everyone have the BFP they have been hoping for x

@purplepoppet92 yes that’s very true, I think that was the problem with my CP I tested early and then got sooo excited, ended up telling work, both sets of parents, and cancelling a holiday (stupid I know!) and then the bleeding came ☹️ What will be will be x

@Firsttry123 I am just trying not to think about it tbh! I have a date in my head that I can test on (testing early), and have just put it to one side.
I also am aware that following my MMC I don't want to test too early and discover a CP.
It won't matter when you test - what will be will be! What's the rush? When you do finally get your positive test, you are then sat waiting for scan date/booking appointment etc!
I am by far an expert, but I am trying really hard to remind myself that there is no rush!

@Firsttry132 it really is so hard especially in this climate at the moment. I'm trying to keep busy, lots of film watching, book reading and nice walks with the dog. But I do get to the evenings and find myself on mn symptom spotting lol. This has been a year and a half on and off trying so I'm getting a bit impatient now. I just want to be a mum

Apart from trying not to eat everything in sight, no
Try to keep busy but it is extremely hard.

@Firsttry132 it's my first one myself and i honestly think I'm going to struggle, so no particular expertise here other than I hear ya

I think I am just going to try and ride it a bit this month but also try and keep it healthy - I know my personality - I am impatient, easily excited, anxious - I can try all sorts of things but I just know I'm going to convince myself I'm pregnant, test early, bee initially disappointed and then get over it. My only real plan is: get stuck into my hobby (gardening) especially stuff I won't be able to do later in the year IF I were to be pregnant (shoveling soil and horse manure around a load of raised beds for example - the glamour of my life). And I think I'm going to try and plan when I will test and try and stick to it - I think I will test on Monday morning which will be 8DPO (I know faaar to early) and then assuming negative, test again Fri morning (12 DPO) as I don't work Fris and then assuming negative leave it be unless AF doesn't arrive. I think if I have this plan I'll avoid randomly wanting to test at other times!

Oh and I've got a lovely bottle of my fave red wine in stock so that if AF arrives, at least I can have a nice drink.

Hahahaha I wish I knew some!! I'm lucky in that work does keep me occupied during the day but in the evenings 🙈 I promise myself I won't symptom spot but never manage it. Last month I had sore boobs for the first time ever (and my boobs aren't small so they really did hurt) and I was convinced I was pregnant but sadly not. Apparently my PMS symptoms are just increasing lol

@Sallyjo27 @Aubyone @hels301990 @lolateddy @Katierose34 @Jordie24 @Amijustagrump has anyone got any tips and tricks for getting through the tww?! Feel myself going mad already 😂

@Steamedhams of course I don't mind you asking, I mean the tww. It always feels like a lifetime lol. I know all too well that I won't have symptoms yet, yet I'm still looking for them!

@Kona84 That's what I was afraid of! I had some nutty dreams last night and a really restless night so I know it is definitely on my mind. I think it might be time to start a new hobby. I just hope it isn't knitting!

@lolateddy if you don't mind me asking, what makes you say that?

Hi. Hope you don't mind me joining. About 4dpo today... I can tell it's going to be a long old stint.

Hi!! 2dpo (roughly) here and af due around 4th feb! Hate this waiting!

@Steamedhams by testing lol.

Only joking I try to just keep busy, try to keep my stress levels low as I heard cortisol isn’t good for conception.

Hi can I join too? I am at peak today 1st cycle TTC #1. Fingers crossed for everyone to get a BFP this month. How do you pass the time while waiting to test?
