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

@1word I'm the same as you actually, I'm either 4 or 5 dpo but not 100%. Sore boobs are usually my first sign. With AF I get sore boobs aswell but usually about 7-10 days before

@missrose0110 im going to try wait until AF is late but I do have a few cheapies I can use before then 🙈

@Dixie1488 I don't know if I usually feel tired, it's hard isn't it as every little think you notice when your ttc. I was mega tired last month before I got my BPF so I'm hope if that's a good sign.

@mooloop it's odd isn't it? I haven't had twinges as such, it just feels tender to touch. Me and my partner were dancing around being silly earlier and all I could feel was pressure in my lower abdomen, I've never had that before

@SweetShopSurprise I think chemicals are a lot more common than people realise, I get what you mean though it has really put me off getting exciting as I just get so anxious and I'm always waiting for the spotting to start. But with that said I also have cheapies so I will probably cave 😂

Does anyone have children already? Xx

Meeeee 🙋‍♀️ 5/6 DPO. Sorry to hear about your chemical OP. I think I had one in December, they’re awful. Put me off testing too early, well it did for last month, I already know I’ll be back to testing 9DPO again this month 🙈 Got a load of easy@home cheapies from Amazon so it doesn’t really matter. Doesn’t cost me much apart from disappointment!

This is cycle 4 for us.

Best of luck to all! Let’s hope for some BFP’s!

Hey! I'm 5dpo too, TTC our first.

I've felt exactly the same as you interestingly, I'm absolutely shattered all the time and on an evening get slight twinges low down in my abdomen. This is cycle 2 for us too and I'm finding it hard to know what's "new" and what's just usual post ov/pre AF symptoms.

Fingers crossed for BFPs all round Smile🤞🏻🍀

Eaststreet · 11/02/2021 20:45

Hi ladies - I’m 6DPO ! No symptoms at all this month, I was convinced I was getting a BFP last month though so probably a good thing as I’m feeling a lot calmer without the constant symptom spotting.

I think I’m going to wait until AF is due next Thursday but not sure if I will actually hold out that long!

Dixie1488 · 11/02/2021 20:41

@FirstTimeTryer93 Well fingers crossed for a valentines BFP! 😄 Hmm I hope so but I said this last time and I caved at 10DPO. I have five CB tests in my draw just waiting for me 👀 haha.

@dippyegg32 You got a BFP?! Congrats! I didn’t know you could get a positive at 7DPO so maybe @FirstTimeTryer93 I won’t wait 🤷‍♀️

@NW2021 I drive myself mad sometimes because the symptoms are the same as PMS! Hmm not sure about the pulsing sensation, could be! 😬

This is our first month “properly” trying but we sort of just thought “if it happens it happens” last cycle. Now we are on it! 😄

NW2021 · 11/02/2021 20:30

Hey guys! Currently 5dpo, 4th month Ttc our 1st. feeling so so tired today. The lead up to AF is always the worst week especially when Ttc and the symptoms are exactly the bloody same!
Had this pulsing sensation in my groin today but I’m not sure it’s from working out or not?! Over thinking everything 😂

I’m determined not to test before next Friday when AF due!

How’s everyone else feeling?

dippyegg32 · 11/02/2021 20:28

Hi all can I join? I got a bfp on a first response at 7dpo. Ok going to save a digital for next week

FirstTimeTryer93 · 11/02/2021 20:25

@Dixie1488 I'm so bad for testing. I'm pretty good until it gets to about 7dpo. I won't test or symptom spot before then. I'll only use internet cheapies though so I'm never that much out of pocket. I've got 2 first response early response, I'll be taking one of those at 10dpo on Valentine's Day Shock fingers crossed for us all. Do you think you can hold out till 12dpo? I need some of your willpower xxx

Dixie1488 · 11/02/2021 20:11

Hi Girls 😊

I’m also 7DPO @FirstTimeTryer93. I am trying to hold of testing until atleast 12DPO but not feeling too confident in my willpower 🙈

@lockdownbabyx I am sorry to hear about your chemical and miscarriage. I’ve also felt tired but I usually do at this time in my cycle.

@1word I think you would count your second positive OPK as your “peak”. I think! 😬

FirstTimeTryer93 · 11/02/2021 19:55

Can I join? Currently 7dpo. We've been trying for our first since November. Sorry to hear about your chemical pregnancy last month OP. I have also been feeling quite tired lately, I could literally go to bed at 7pm some nights, hoping that's good signs for us! Maybe I'm looking into it too much. Took a cheapy today just because I got a recent haul from Amazon. Obviously a BFN at 7dpo Grin

missrose0110 · 11/02/2021 19:48

I'm 4dpo! When are you guys testing? Maybe we can 2ww together!

1word · 11/02/2021 18:33

I'm 4/5 dpo today (I got 2 positive OPKs back to back, so not sure which day would have been ovulation day)

Sore heavy boobs here, but that seems to be a regular thing since we've been TTC. Mother nature playing tricks Hmm
