TWW buddies?

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?

Oh that's good @minthumbugs it's nice to have a cycle buddy!

I'm the exact same. We started TTC a year ago now and I was so obsessive in the beginning testing early & after everything that happened with the miscarriage, I have testing phobia! Too scared of the disappointment that comes with a negative. So I prefer to wait if AF shows up (or doesn't) as it feels less disappointing that way 😅

Welcome to everyone else 😊

@LilsJ2 About two cycles I think but then ended in miscarriage. So it didn't take too long but I didn't keep the pregnancies so there's that. I have a 5yr old and a 4yr old and it took about 6 cycles or so to conceive them from what I can remember. The miscarriages I wasn't trying to conceive and it happened. With my kids I was trying to conceive and it took longer.

Hello can I join? I’m 1DPO today, 2nd cycle and TTC second baby. Had LOADS of cramps last cycle and was convinced I was pregnant but unfortunately was not 😔

@Daisyrobin123 My first cycle I also had loads of symptoms and was disappointed when AF showed. I honestly feel like it's not gonna happen this month either as we couldn't dtd on ovulation day. I am still hoping that I was covered with the days we did dtd though. I have lots of cramping but I think it may be my endometriosis. I can say that for me they never caught the endometriosis through scans. I had to have a laparoscopy to finally get the diagnosis. Fingers crossed for all of us to get our BFP soon!

How soon can we start feeling symptoms of pregnancy??

@Daisyrobin123 you must be some woman! Am I mental to quite enjoy the TWW because you get a wee break? Haha..X

@danielleb97 we are at very similar stages. I'm not a fan of early testing I stress myself out a bit so I'm going to wait it out. When do you plan on testing? Good luck!

Hi! Think I’m 8dpo today. Second cycle. Caught first time with DS (almost 2), but it was not to be this time! Got some FRERs coming this afternoon. Might test in the morning, even though I know it’s madness!

danielleb97 · 16/04/2021 14:55

Hi, hope it’s okay if I join? So sorry to hear about peoples miscarriages. ❤️

I’m currently 8dpo. This is our 2nd month back TTC after a miscarriage in January. Not too sure how to feel and trying not to symptom spot 😂

Is anyone going to be testing early? Hopefully lots of positives on this thread. 🤞🏼✨

Daisyrobin123 · 16/04/2021 14:54

@minthumbugs Sorry to hear what you've been through, sounds so tough😣. Fingers crossed this is your month 🤞
And ha - I know. I don't know how I've done it to be honest 🙈 😴😴😴😴😂

minthumbugs · 16/04/2021 14:49

Hey!

I'm well and truly in the TWW, 7dpo today (pretty sure anyway!) Sorry about your MCs. This is my 2nd cycle trying again after a MC in January - have previously had an ectopic as well so going for it with one tube! And I'm trying for my second. Fingers crossed for you this month! X x

@LilsJ2 our stories sound very similar too. I have symptoms of endometriosis and family history as well but docs won't investigate! Had an appointment for a scan but actually found out I was pregnant so didn't get it. And then after my LO was born they say I had 'too many normal scans' (while pregnant!?) so won't give me anymore. Nightmare. Are you trying for your first?

@nizo1245 sorry to hear about your MC. Definitely feel that with the comfort eating, I have been the same. Baby dust! X

@Daisyrobin123 wow good on you going for it everyday! Good luck!!

Daisyrobin123 · 16/04/2021 14:39

Hey @lovelyLion3, I'm 1DPO today and on my third cycle.
On my first cycle I had loads of symptoms in the 2ww and second cycle AF teased me by being 4 days late 🙈 both BFN!
We've DTD everyday this fertile window even though I've read so much advice that says every other day is fine - but thought we would make the most of the school holidays (I work in a school) and see what happens! How did you find the 2ww in your first cycle?

nizo1245 · 16/04/2021 10:36

Hey, can I join?
I'm about 3 dpo (I think...), I stopped tracking as it was driving me mad.
12 months TTC after a MC at Easter last year.
Hoping to start investigations soon but I'm trying to lose some weight first as I've piled it on since the MC, mostly through self pity and eating junk... Blush

Everyone around me is announcing pregnancies and I've never been the typical 'gets excited at the sight of babies' type, so people assume I don't want kids.

Baby dust to everyone! Hoping 2021 is our year!

LilsJ2 · 16/04/2021 08:13

Hi @LovelyLion3 hope you’re ok! I’m not in my 2ww just yet (ovulation window will be next week and 2ww after that) but didn’t want to leave you without a response. I am also on my second cycle TTC following a miscarriage at 10 weeks in December. I also think I may have endometriosis (haven’t had it formally diagnosed through a lap, but still very certain I’ve got it based on my symptoms and a family history of it) so I’m also in the same boat of worrying it’s going to take a while or that I’ll have multiple miscarriages. I’m really sorry to hear you’ve had a couple of miscarriages. How long did it take you to conceive with your miscarried pregnancy’s? Sending lots of baby dust your way and really hoping this month works out for us both or that generally it doesn’t take too long to conceive 🙏

Also have endometriosis and have had a couple of miscarriages in the past so I am worried about how long it might take to conceive. Fingers crossed it happens soon.
