TTC TWW November 2021

Amazing progress @Rachae !! Congrats!

Thats a very strong line @Rachae for 11dpo! Got a BFN this morning at 9dpo so going to wait until 11dpo and test again. xx

Morning everyone! Some decent line progression up at 11dpo... starting to get hopeful woohoo, going to hold out until 14dpo now and hope for the best! Xx

@Ballygowenwater yes my skin has been much more spotty than normal! Oh my gosh, I'm getting excited now. But don't want to get hopes up still! Will try to hold out testing until Monday as today would be too early for sure.

Wow about your first - that must have been a bit of a shock!

@mightbeyesmightbeno that’s not crazy, that’s how I knew with my first. We weren’t trying (I’m still not quite sure what happened but I think I must have skipped a pill or something), and I wasn’t keeping track of my cycles at all. But woke up one morning and had a strange heaviness to my womb and my skin had turned to shit basically overnight. Took a test and there it was. Based on a scan I got at 7 weeks that positive test was only about 8DPO give or take.

Sorry @Ballygowenwater ... got that wrong with the spotting g - ignore me!

@kizzy97 Sunday for me 🤞 I feel like this has been the longest TWW!

Think you're all going to think I'm a mad woman here. But I had a weird sensation yesterday and still have it today. A low down feeling in my lower abdomen. Not cramping but a "heavy" feeling. Similar to when I'm a few days into my period. Yesterday it was really noticeable when walking- every step on that side. Obviously google says it could be implantation cramps.

I know in my sensible head not to get hopes up or read into it too much but I seriously can't help but hope! About 5d PO now.

@Ballygowenwater - Aww sorry to hear that :/ but you're not out yet! I hope you get your bfp xx

@Rachipops - so that would be Tuesday for me then, hopefully I can last until af is due! xx

BFN Today at 10DPO. Feeling extremely nauseous last night and this morning but think it must be a coincidence 🤷‍♀️

Which cycle day would everyone recommend I test at the earliest? I am going to try and be strong and wait until af is late, but I know I'll be too impatient 😂

Negative this morning at 9-11dpo. I only tested as I have drinks tonight and would def not have one if it was positive, I’ll have 1-2 and try and wait til my period is late which would be weds I think - irregular cycles BFing and not entirely sure when I O’d

Thanks @Tinkerbell098, I keep hoping so but reminding myself not to hope too much 🤭

@melbxldn: fingers crossed for you, let us know how you get on. I reckon I should test (earliest if be due on is Monday, as late as wees) but fear if it’s BFN I’ll be so deflated.

I think I’m the same dpo as you l@LillyWithTwoLs and similar symptoms! This is the first cycle I’ve paid attention to since I had my son tho so could be normal AF. I’m going to test in the am - good luck!

@Bundaberg84 I just wanted to share this with you . This is my cycle from
2019 when I had my first pregnancy. You can see the red dots are spotting, and this was bright red / not very much / mainly when wiping and just a panty liner.
And then you can see a dark blue dot at the weekend and this was my BFP. So I had about 4 days of spotting before a positive pregnancy test and I'm convinced this was implantation bleeding. Keeping everything crossed for you xx

@kizzy97 hope you get lucky this time round too. Fingers crossed for you x

@LillyWithTwoLs anything abnormal is a good sign. I know it's torture! I'm only 5 days dpo and already doing the same myself. It's so hard not to.

I’m 10dpo and been having waves of nausea and lots of fairly strong cramps. Usually get cramps only just before I come on, so trying not to get my hopes up (and trying to keep busy to avoid symptom spotting, it’s bloody torture!)

@Tinkerbell098 - Lets hope indeed! It's only my first cycle so I'm not banking everything I have on it happening but DS was conceived during my first cycle so hopefully I get lucky twice, but I'm prepared as it apparently can take longer the next time round xx

Thanks @Tinkerbell098 @kizzy97 xx

@kizzy97 Ooo good luck to you too! my left boob is sore but I've had that before the week pre AF. Let's hope this is our month xx

@Tinkerbell098 I'm CD20 too! Getting really impatient wish you could just know instantly! My boobs are currently killing me and I have had slight cramps but idk if that's just been ovulation. Good luck!

@Rachae - ooooo how exciting! Will keep everything crossed for you!

So sorry @Bundaberg84 this ttc is awful some months - especially when you’re feeling out of kilter with your body. It makes no sense when things change from your clockwork cycles. Sometimes it works to get our hopes up, other times you just know it’s not your month.
Hopefully the bleeding doesn’t get heavier, but I think our gut-feel is usually right. Take extra care of yourself, sending lots of love your way 💐xx
