Hi all I am currently 1DPO.
Anyone else entering their TWW? Smile
or if you're further along in your cycle how many DPO are you and do you have any symptoms?
My period is due 20th of August.

@SLT90 thank you that does make me feel better! 😊 I am in the same boat. I feel like I could have done way more but I suppose we always feel like that lol having sex everyday for a week still wouldn't feel like I've done enough 😂 xx

I am now 6 DPO & I have literally no symptoms at all which is making me think maybe I've not caught 🙁 I did have cramp lasting less than a minute on my left side yesterday or the day before. Xx[/quote]
To me no symptoms is a good thing! So I wouldn't worry 😊😊 I had none the month I conceive baby #1! I must admit that next week I will start to worry if I don't feel sore boobs as that was the one thing I had coming up to 14DPO 🙈 I think we did enough this month but could have done more too!

Teaandcrumpets95 · 12/08/2021 12:32

@louise1997 I wouldn't think that yet, it's super early and symptoms vs no symptoms isn't always accurate anyway x plus let's be honest, anything I'm spotting at this point is definitely in my head 😂

I think I've just got a super prominent cervix as it moves all over the place during my cycle, sometimes it's like stupidly low to touch and others it's so high I can't find it 😅
(I got very aquatinted with it when I had a coil a few years ago)

@SLT90 glad you're starting to feel better!

That's exciting and great timing for a getaway, hope you have a nice chilled time 😊

@wannabeamummysobad hmmm that sounds potentially promising, fingers crossed and all the positive vibes for you xx

wannabeamummysobad · 12/08/2021 10:41

@SLT90 @Teaandcrumpets95 I'm 7/8 DPO . I felt so hot overnight (have felt this the past few days) and had intermittent cramps this morning following my run and as I sat down to work (I never have this normally).

Keeping everything crossed crossed this means something BF positive 🤞🏾 and not AF.

I have a pretty full weekend planned which will hopefully keep me busy before testing on Monday.

Baby dust and positive vibes to us all 💕💕

@Teaandcrumpets95

Any symptoms or symptom spotting to report ladies? 😊

I am 5dpo today, had cramps on and off the past couple days which I'm gonna ignore.
Last night woke up at 2am really hot and had to get up and chug a load of water lol.
Keeping an eye on my cervix and it's very high and there's creamy white cm- no idea if that's meant to mean anything.

Xx

I'm 6DPO today and nothing else to report after the 4DPO cramps! I've been feeling awful with this cold I have and today it's finally starting to ease 🥳🥳 So glad I'm away on a little holiday on the second half of the TWW as it will hopefully distract me!!

@hormonalhandbag

Just for fun... Getting totally carried away here looking into these things 🙈 But has anyone else looked at the Chinese Gender Predictor? IF you were to conceive this cycle, what’s that saying you’d have?

Mine says Girl 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m off to check if it’s right for my others!

I looove things like this! Mine says boy 🥰✨🤣

Mine said girl the last time and it was wrong!!

I thought from having a nosey at the scans that we were having a girl too, but in my dreams the baby was always a boy...and people said I had a 'boy bump'. He was a boy!

@hormonalhandbag

It’s taken me two weeks to figure out what BD stood for and I was too shy to ask! It was only when I saw a thread on my app’s chat that was called “Why call it BD, just call it sex!” And I was like... ooohhhhh! Baby dance. 🙈🤣 It had me for ages that one!
Now if you didn't say what it was I wouldn't have known 🤣🤣🤣 this is all new to me I'll be asking what loads of things mean! Xx

@louise1997 I adore Cedric for a boy, but me and dh really struggle with girl names so hoping we end up with a boy 😂

SLT90 · 11/08/2021 11:34

@louise1997

slightly off topic but does anyone have any baby names in mind?

at the moment for a girl my favourite is Rosalie and for a boy Theodore 🥰 xx

I started a list a few years ago and gradually added or removed names to it depending on if I heard a name I liked or if I went off a name 😅 narrowed it down to a shortlist of 2 boys and 2 girls names and we decided between the 2 when our son was born.

I've already removed all the names which have the same initial as our son because I don't want them all to match! We also went off one of our main girl names last time so need to have a fresh look at it all!

Stupid question
Coming up what does AF stand for?

Grin
andpeggy1 · 11/08/2021 11:04

Af is due 22nd for me too! I'm not planning on doing an early tests cause I don't have them about anyways. Planning that if af is late by 5days then I'll test. Fingers crossed she doesn't show up! I'm kinda trying to pretend that it's not worked cause I don't want to get my hopes up. Even though all I can think about atm
Is, if this works abs everything goes well, we can do a big family announcement at our Christmas family gathering and that would be really lush

@Bee44

Hi ladies, I thought I'd hop on as I haven't joined a TWW thread in a while! I'm TTC #1 and this is cycle #8 - I honestly didn't think that it would take us this long, yet here we are 😩 TTC is so disheartening! AF is due on the 22nd which also happens to be my birthday! I'm not an early tester and always wait for AF to arrive - I was 1 day late last month which obviously got my hopes up but then AF randomly arrived with absolutely no PMS. Ovulation was slightly later too this month (CD16 instead of 14) so I'm not 100% sure what's going on but I'll go with it!

Hope to see lots of BFP's this month 💖

Good luck to you!!! 🤞🏼✨
