Just started my TWW, 1dpo today I think as I had my static smiley on Tuesday. We dtd on Friday and Saturday and twice on Sunday so hopefully I can still have a chance. DP is away so was unable to dtd since then. I'm only on cycle 2 of ttc but I am so impatient. Anyone else in the tww?

@danielleb97 haha TTC does bad things to us 😩 I've actually had dull cramps since this afternoon and some yellowish/almost pinky brown CM, I feel as if I'm on my way out this month tbh. I hope not though! X

@lovelylion3 think everything before implantation will be progesterone symptoms so could go either way, hopefully it's the good way!

@November4 I'm 5dpo and have been cramping since Ovulation. It's really odd. But I had the same last month and wasn't pregnant.

@LovelyLion3 keeping everything crossed for you, it only takes one time so there's still hope! I'm not sure about the cm if pregnant, I heard somewhere before that it stays watery/creamy if pregnant rather than going dry? I could be wrong though.

I know I'm only 1dpo but for some reason I'm still getting slight cramps as if my ovulation has pulled a muscle or something? I always have strong ovulation pains but I've never felt this before, I'm hoping it means something! 🤞🏼

LovelyLion3 · 19/04/2021 17:36

@danielleb97 Yes, I will definitely be testing early. 😂 You know I can't help it. I might test at 9dpo with a frer. If it's bfn then I'll wait a few more days. 🤞🏼

@minthumbugs It's so weird, I never usually get it! I even asked my mum what else could be causing it other than that. I really don't think it's hunger because hunger sickness is familiar to me & I know it's not the same - god knows what's up with my body this month. 😅

Don't, I got up this morning and felt lightheaded and dizzy for a few minutes, got excited & logged it on my app. Then after an hour, I think hmm maybe it's because I only slept for 4 hours and I stood up really fast - I just have to log it in the moment 🤣 fingers crossed for us both. 🤞🏼

@LovelyLion3 I'm not bad thank you! Hope you're good. I don't usually check cm but from what I've read/seen I don't think changes in cm can indicate pregnancy, and I think 5dpo would be too early because you might not have implanted yet. ❤️ I have everything crossed for you though! Will you be testing early? x

LovelyLion3 · 19/04/2021 16:52

How is everyone doing?

I'm at 5dpo today. Can anyone tell me what cm would look like at 5dpo if pregnant? Would there even be a change in cm? I'm new to checking that.

@danielleb97 I have actually had a couple of waves of nausea too but every pregnancy I've had it's been like that horrible can't do anything way so I don't think it's the same!

I'm the same, my app is like 'woke up facing the right today, had pins in needles in left toe for 4.5 minutes' 🙈😂 definitely know what you mean about testing late and getting BFN it's like there's still a wee bit of hope but you know you're just waiting it out! We can keep each other going and test on the same day, hopefully a good outcome for us both 🤞🏻

danielleb97 · 19/04/2021 15:44

@minthumbugs I didn't get nausea consistently last time, but the day before I tested, I was sofa-ridden all day with waves of nausea every time I stood up! I have actually had a few waves of it from about 8/9dpo this month, but first thing in the morning when I get out of bed and doesn't even last 10 minutes.

It's so hard trying not to symptom spot isn't it. 😂 I promised myself I wouldn't this month, but I still log every little detail on my app. I know what you mean! I don't even have any tests in so definitely reduces the urge to test. Especially because I work from home. I definitely won't test Thursday, because since Feb AF has shown up on a Friday so I wouldn't be surprised if she turned up then... Maybe the 26th if she doesn't show up before then! Though I also hate the thought of being late and testing negative, so depressing. 😩x

minthumbugs · 19/04/2021 15:17

@danielleb97 my first symptoms last time were nausea and before that a strong sense of smell (which I didn't think of at the time, only after bfp!).

Right now I have nothing exciting going on tbh. Normally I get a huge appetite too, normally for chocolate haha. That hasn't kicked in yet but it is normally just a couple of days before AF. If AF doesn't arrive I'll wait until the weekend I think, don't want to make set plans for testing because last time AF surprised me early and it made me even more disappointed that I had a date in mind! That sounds mental lol. Will you be testing? X

danielleb97 · 19/04/2021 14:54

Hey @minthumbugs, just typical AF symptoms. Huge appetite, sore boobs, mild cramps & mood swings. Though when I fell pregnant in December I didn't test until 4 days late because I was so convinced AF was just late - my symptoms were exactly the same as normal period ones!

What about you? Any symptoms? Do you think you will test before or just see if she shows up? X

minthumbugs · 19/04/2021 14:22

AF due on Thursday for me too @danielleb97, how are you feeling? Any signs either way? X

danielleb97 · 19/04/2021 13:16

Massive congratulations to you @TTC94 ✨💐!

Wishing you a happy & healthy pregnancy. 🥰

Hope everyone else is doing well. AF is due for me on Thursday Xx

Cherryblossom2021 · 19/04/2021 08:21

@TTC94 congratulations, it’s such a scary time eh, not wanting to tell anyone and wishing you could tell the world. I’m still working from home don’t think I could cope getting on the tube in the mornings right now for work I feel so crap!
Enjoy your day at work, I’m sure the kids will keep your mind busy!!

minthumbugs · 19/04/2021 08:17

@TTC94 congrats! What a nice surprise to keep you going through your first day back at work. Hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months. X x

@TTC94 congratulations!!!

12DPO today. I can’t believe it. I can’t stop crying. I’m a teacher so I’m back at work today and I’m so happy, nervous and scared all simultaneously.

13 months TTC and one miscarriage. We were losing all hope and we only managed to dtd once this cycle.

Hoping and praying that this little seed will stick Shock

I didn’t really have any symptoms (other than boobs looking different) and I tested yesterday and it looked pretty negative to me. These were with my first morning urine at 6am.

Good luck to those who are still in with a chance this month.

I hope you don’t mind me posting but I could just burst and needed to share with someone!

TWW buddies?
Orwell08 · 19/04/2021 07:24

@Cherryblossom2021 I can definitely see a line!
Welcome @November4 😊

LovelyLion3 · 19/04/2021 04:21

@November4 I think you have a very good chance! I was only able to dtd 3 days before ovulation so thinking I'm out this month but still keeping my fingers crossed. Sending baby dust your way!!

Hi everyone, I hope it's OK to join. I've started my 2WW today. I had the beginnings of ovulation pain yesterday and they have been full force today. DTD this afternoon, the only time during my fertile window as I've ovulated earlier than usual. 🙄 trying to not get my hopes up too much but this is exactly how I conceived with my daughter so I'm hopeful! Just hoping we caught it in time and we haven't missed our chance. Good luck to everyone waiting! 🤞🏼

Cherryblossom2021 · 18/04/2021 22:10
