Hi all

Currently now in my tww, ttc #1!!

Very nervous this time around as we’ve made a definite effort this month to conceive so really hoping this is our month.

Our 8th tww and it’s never any easier!

Anybody like to join me?

Hunger
Thirst
Need to pee

Bloated / achy lower belly.

@xidrinkwinex yeah it’s definitely caught me off guard as it’s not a usual thing for me…

@calimc83 I’ll probably wait and see if af comes, last cycle I was so close to testing and then af was 2 days late, I just don’t want the disappointment I guess x

@xidrinkwinex I don’t use OPKs but will probably start if nothing happens. I only use AF tracking and keeping an eye on cm. I had covid in Dec and that made AF arrive early so although my cycle is regular and I’ve been off contraception for years I am a bit worried my cycle isn’t reliable.
Do you feel like your ovulation prediction was correct? Have you noticed any change in cm etc? Based on mine I think it was about right but possibly out by a day or so. I hope as swimmers can survive a while if you DTD either side it might be ok.
Will you test early?

calimc83 · 27/01/2022 12:54

@Justwantbaby1 oh 💯 it's such a head f**k..will u test early this cycle or wait till AF is due? X

xidrinkwinex · 27/01/2022 12:31

Out of interest. If you don't use OPKs.
How do you know for sure you're ovulating??

I just have used an app to track my cycle. But I only ever input my af.

I went by that. Which said ovulation day was actually Monday. I DTD Sat/Sun/Wed.

This is cycle #1 and I already hate it 

Last time we said we would stop using condoms and 4 weeks later I BFP. Which I never expected!

It's getting in my head already!

Also @Justwantbaby1 feel you with the nipple thing. That was happening to me yesterday!

@calimc83 it’s crazy how much more you notice when you’re actively trying isn’t it! I only ever really noticed cramps before af before I was ever trying but now there is all sorts that I don’t know how I’ve never noticed them😂😂

I’m 4dpo now and I’ve got the weirdest thing going on, itchy nipples😐 I’ve never had this as a symptom before af so all very weird and confusing! I’d like to think it’s my month but I’m trying not to get my hopes up too much!🙈x

Hi @calimc83 how are you feeling?!

@daisiesblue honestly I’m just about ready to go mad, if my boyfriend looked at my internet history he’d definitely be wondering why I’m searching what symptoms you get at 3dpo, he’ll think I’m mad😂

I’ve decided today to throw an extra bit of stress into my life by looking for a new job, why do I do this to myself all at once?!🙈😂x

xidrinkwinex · 26/01/2022 16:37

@daisiesblue oh my goodness. Isn't it a mindf*.

Constantly wondering if everything is a sign!!

daisiesblue · 26/01/2022 16:13

@Justwantbaby1 I am also peeing more! And I'm ravenous all the time and I'm also so unbelievably tired! I know it's too early for symptoms, but symptom spotting is the only thing that keeps the TWW fun right? 😂
I actually had a blood test yesterday to try and get to the bottom of my fatigue and other bits, but they couldn't see anything wrong 🤔
I've cut down on caffeine since TTC so maybe it's just Costa withdrawal? 😂
How's everyone else feeling?

calimc83 · 26/01/2022 12:34

Hey 👋 can I join? I'm just 1DPO today 🙈 TTC after a MMC in Nov xx

@Tjsmjs sounds a lot like me! Although, I do tend to get a lot of symptoms in the week before af… a lot of nausea, sore boobs, cramping, wanting to eat absolutely everything in sight, peeing more! Which I have a lot of now and at only 4dpo, I’m starting to think maybe af is going to be sooner this month😬 just all very strange and quite annoying not knowing where you stand x

@Chanel05 Hi 👋 I recognise you from the ttc no2 thread. 8 definitely seems like your lucky number.

It is far too early for it to be a sign of pregnancy but my boobs are very sore. Totally psychosomatic. I told myself I wouldn’t symptom spot as well this month. That lasted all of 48 hours.

@Chanel05 definitely seems like your lucky number! I would absolutely love this to be the one for us!🤞🏼x

Chanel05 · 25/01/2022 22:10

@Justwantbaby1 good luck!

I conceived my first pregnancy (a mmc) on cycle 8 and then my second pregnancy, which resulted in my dd on cycle 8 (though it wasn't the same cycle - it was literally another 8 after) so for me, cycle 8 was my lucky one! Hope it is for you.

I'm ttc number 2 and on cycle 4 already 🙈

@xidrinkwinex I’m honestly not sure, I always have mad symptoms before af (nausea, cramps, bloating etc) so I literally wouldn’t even know if it was pregnancy related or not, I think I’d be more inclined to think I was pregnant if one month I got absolutely no symptoms a few days before af is due😂 so I think this is why I’ve resorted to trying not to test early now or get my hopes up x

OP posts:
xidrinkwinex · 25/01/2022 22:00

@Justwantbaby1 I'm good thank you. Don't really know what I'm looking for. I didn't track ovulation just used flo app. Said over the weekend. So DTD Sat and Sun. Let's just hope it's enough.

What kind of things should I look out for?

Last time. I felt really nauseous ... but thought it was alcohol induced as wasn't really trying!! I tested 2 days before AF was due.

arianasky · 25/01/2022 15:20

Thank you @Justwantbaby1 fingers crossed for all of us 🙏🏻🌈

Worryant · 25/01/2022 15:12

Thank you @Justwantbaby1 - sorry it’s so stressful for you. Have everything crossed this month is your month. X

Hi @daisiesblue @arianasky @Worryant hope you’re all doing well and happy for you to join!

It’s a total minefield! We had a chemical last July and nothing since, not even a hint! I won’t test early now though as I spent months testing early just to be disappointed by the result…

Baby dust to you all, hoping we can all share our positive outcomes in a couple of weeks time!x

OP posts:
Tjsmjs · 25/01/2022 14:47

@weliveinharmony Yes it does seem so far away. I’ve tested at 9 and 10dpo before, had a chemical a couple of months ago. I’m trying to hold out testing until my period is late this time round but I am sure I will give in.
Baby dust to you all and hopefully some nice BFP to us all this month.

Worryant · 25/01/2022 14:42

Can I join the TWW? First cycle ttc #2. Ovulated on the weekend I think but I’m not massively tracking as it’s our first cycle. Trying not to symptom spot…I got teary watching Encanto today - are we counting that as a pregnancy symptom 😂.
@xidrinkwinex - I’m in a similar boat, conceived first on one go and now finding this much more stressful as it’s the first time we’ve ‘tried’. All consuming brain-wise at the moment!

arianasky · 25/01/2022 14:41

Hello would also like to join please? I'm 1DPO, MMC in October and CP last month, hoping this is our month 🤞🏻🙏🏻

daisiesblue · 25/01/2022 14:25

Also 2 DPO!
TTC #1

This is our third cycle, we had success on our first but unfortunately ended in a chemical pregnancy, now I'm even MORE keen to get my BFP back because I wasn't ready to let go!

Hoping to join you ladies in the TWW and hear some positive news from all of us 🥰

Hi @xidrinkwinex how are you feeling?

I’m 8/9 months in (tbh, I’m not even sure because it’s been going on so long now🙈) I’m so stressed with it all, this is my first month using tests again so that’s been a massive shock to the system, I thought I knew my body relatively well but apparently not!😂

I’m hoping I’ve read everything right and I’ve done enough for this month to be our month!🤞🏼x
