Hi all,

Thought I'd start a thread in case anyone wants to join me in the TWW.
I'm 5dpo today, this is CD2 for me after a chemical last month. Ive previously had a miscarriage and a PUL also.
So far lower abdomen has been tender for a couple of days and just felt more tired that usual. I'm guessing that's just post ovulation though? How is everyone feeling? I'm going to try hold off with testing until AF is late.

Xx

Still can't believe I'm posting this but I got my BFP on Friday evening at 13DPO Smile over the moon but feeling anxious!

These boards have been so helpful, good luck everybody 🤞🏻🍀

@Milliemoo222 oh I'm sorry to hear about you spotting 😔.

I'm feeling, mainly just sore boobs. I don't feel overly tired anymore. I keep taking tests to make sure the line is progressing, I think I need to stop though 😂 xx

@lockdownbabyx Happy Friday! How are you feeling? Tested this morning (thought was too early, but caved!) Then Urgh, I have had some spotting this morning...I normally get spotting the day before af is due, but I am not technically due af until Monday/Tuesday. So feeling really cr*p and sad today Sad
@NW2021 good luck for your testing today! Fingers crossed! How are you feeling?

NW2021 · 19/02/2021 08:47

@lockdownbabyx sorry I forgot which groups I needed to post 😂 I have at 5.30am this morning I got a positive!! I can’t believe it!!!

Anyone else 5dpo?

@NW2021 fingers crossed these are all good signs! Friday is not too far away ☺️.

@Milliemoo222 it's so hard not to read into things though isn't it! Literally everything little thing I try to put down as possible pregnancy symptoms. Main symptoms for me was bad headaches, sore boobs and I've had a full bloated type feeling in my lower abdomen for days now, I still have it now. A lot worse after I eat. I also had a few aches and twinges, not cramps as such. More like a dull ache on and off in my uterus xx

@lockdownbabyx
I am sorry to hear of your experiences before this, my fingers are crossed for you and wish you a really healthy, positive and relaxed 9months, so exciting!
Urgh I have had what I would call twinges today, kinda in lower back and one side, my boobs are a little tender, but today my DH suggested I take a test as apparentlyI have been mean for days now Grin...REALLY trying to not read anything into it all though,.
Did you have any symptoms before your bfp?

NW2021 · 17/02/2021 20:13

@lockdownbabyx I’m just very bloated at the moment which I normally get before Af & I normally spot the week leading up which I haven’t this time. But who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m quite fortunate that I never really get period pains when I do they last like 10 mins then I know she’s going to arrive that day! So far nothing?! Soon have an answer Friday morning! 😬

@JenIsAGem that a really good approach! How long have you been trying?

@lockdownbabyx oh my goodness I've just read the latest messages and seen your update! Congratulations!!!! ❤️

JenIsAGem · 17/02/2021 20:02

Me!
I'm 5dpo today, me and DH pretty much seeing how things go, not strictly trying or avoiding either - basically I'd still be happy with a BFP 😂

@NW2021 oh I hope AF doesn't show her ugly head tomorrow! Do you have any of your usual PMS symptoms? Xx

OP posts:
NW2021 · 17/02/2021 19:34

@lockdownbabyx yeah got the FR in and ready! It’s taking all the will in the world not to test. Af is due Friday but I’m testing Friday morning if she hasn’t made an appearance tomorrow!
I can only imagine the anxiety that then happens once you get the bfp! Building up to seeing that positive test then the real insane ness begins!! 😂🙈
Will let you know how I get on! X

@NW2021 thanks so much, means a lot. Il keep this thread updated either way ☺️🤞🏼.

Aw bless you I know the feeling! You have some FR to use don't you? They are literally the only ones I trust! When is AF due? I really really hope you get your BFP, then maybe we can keep eachother sane In the early weeks as let's face it, it's just as bad as the tww 😂. Have everything crossed for you my lovely xxx

@lockdownbabyx wishing you all the luck & a happy 9 months! 🎉
I was doing absolutely fine then from about 9DPO (Monday) the symptom spotting has gone mad! 😂🙈 I don’t want to get my hopes up at all but I’ve had a big spike in temp this morning & I’m just so tired. Today is 11dpo I’ve noticed the odd boob pain. I don’t know if I’m just overthinking or if it means pregnant. Only a test will tell I suppose! I’ve got to the point now where I’m too scared to test! Just in case it’s negative.

Thank you @Milliemoo222 I'm know I am in shock! Was not expecting a bfp so soon. Sorry to hear of your miscarriage, I've had 3 myself. One of them being a chemical on my last cycle so I've literally fell pregnant back to back 😱. I just hope this is a sticky bean 🙏🏼.

Haha yes I would for sure stock up! Obviously the longer you wait to test the better, but it's hard not to cave sooner. Have you got any symptoms so far? Xx
