*The TWW States* 😬😂…. Here for positive vibes as we try to create new lives 👶🍼🤞… (Ttc #1 and cycle 1 continued)

Sorry about AF @Newbiemg and @FastFish1993. Hoping mine comes today and then we can be cycle triplets! No cramps yet, but I’m sure she’s not far off.

Thanks for starting the new calendar @lakejupiter! My test date will probably be Feb 28 at the earliest.

If you have some concerns, definitely chat to your GP @Bluets? It could be ovulation symptoms maybe? I don’t get anything myself really, but some friends get bad cramping like period pain around ovulation.

@SMD16 Firstly oh my goodness your dog is so cute! Some really top notch nappy'ing there too.

Don't mind at all! For 3 cycles we weren't preventing pregnancy, although I know we were roughly timing up with my fertile week. Now 1 cycle tracking LH with OPKs, so 4 in total.

I know that is really not long at all but it's something that has been at the back of my mind for a while and I don't want to ignore an instinct if that makes sense?

@Bluets how long have you been TTC for if you don't mind me asking?

@lakejupiter ah that's really frustrating!

Got my practice in with nappies today... poor dog!

Yes I'm realising I have a relatively long cycle @SMD16 😤 excited for the people whose test day is coming up ❤️

I've got my FRER at the ready..!

If this isn't my month, I think I'm going to arrange an appointment with the GP. For a few months now I've noticed a couple of days after expected ovulation, I feel a heaviness and dull cramping. If it was in the week leading up to my period that would be expected, but from what I understand it's quite early to be having PMS symptoms so could be something else. I have very heavy periods for the first two days and more intense cramping pain, but not debilitating. I'd just like some peace of mind from a GP - it's so hard to tell if I'm just hyper-aware of everything now I'm TTC or whether there's something else going on.

I'm testing the day after @Pops100 We're out celebrating our anniversary on the 5th so even though it's a bit early (I think I'll be 10DPO then), I'm imagining what it would feel like to get good news and share it on that day! And if there isn't good news at least I'll be able to distract myself with a fun day out.

I will make a testing cal!

@RMS0209 hope AF leaves and your power comes back on! Not sure about the pills though!

@Newbiemg so sorry about AF and how frustrating about the short luteal phase! Def talk to a doc if it carries on being short as I think they can prescribe something and also do a progesterone test - I had one before Christmas to make sure I was ovulating.

@Cookiedough123 everyone seems to swear by First Response though I had a bit of a sad indent line experience w them last month. Easy@home do a sensitive home test too - got mine on Amazon.

@FastFish1993 oh I'm sorry, that's cruel of AF! At least you have the tests ready for Feb 😘

Ffs, AF arrived 4 days late just as the tests I ordered arrived... Of course 😂🙄 we go again for Feb!

Happy Monday!

Sorry about AF @Newbiemg 😥 sending baby dust for Feb!

My AF has now departed me, thank god!!!!

Aaah can't believe the old thread is full, makes you realise how much we all talk!

Shall we do a testing calendar again for Feb? I'd be 21/02/2022.

Welcome to everyone new too 💜

Happy Monday gang 😀 hope everybody has a lovely week lots of baby dust and hugs to you all... (ps send some back 😂) x

@Newbiemg
Even though you expecting it still a shock to the system isn't it!
Maybe and hopefully it's just a one off and your body trying to confuse you and after AF leaves back to normal.
Strange with ovulating with a few days difference too.
I seemed to be like clock work last 2 months. CD14 ovulation cd29/cd30 for af
Don't think this month will be the same, confused Feb for the both of us 

I know really hoping it's just a few more days so I can still make my fertile window for this month, never thought I'd be having everything crossed to make AF leave!

Oh yeah I have used this tablet a few years ago when I was going away on holiday! Good reminder something to keep in mind
Something to bear in mind for next week if (hopefully) not need be!

Thank you for that, needed it today. Everything goring wrong Grr
Same with you though here if you need to vent or anything 
Ps all I want for this week is AF to leave and my power to come back on.. not asking for much surly? Ha ha x

We are 1k comments on old post so couldn't reply x

@Newbiemg

I am bored. Not got much to take my mind off the TWW. I'm on 2DPO. Going to purchase some tests to maybe start testing at 10DPO. Any recommendations?

@SMD16 sorry to hear this and hope it gets sorted out fast!! I had an ultrasound on a lump in my neck last year and was a miscellaneously swollen lymph node, hope yours is similarly uneventful ❤️

@Pickles91 waiting for AF is the worst 😤 I'm lucky that I don't get much spotting, just full flow from day one. Coparent has agreed to fertility testing after this month of TTC so trying to think positive for Feb. We start TTC again on Friday and planned inseminations a bit more spread out this time (Fri, Sun, Tue, Wed) in the hope of catching the egg. Some annoying logistics involved but worth it - last time I ovulated late (we tried on CD14/15/16 but didn't get my peak until CD17) and was so annoyed about it. This week my aim is to eat lots of veggies and get lots of rest and try to make sure the follicle/egg has a nice chill space to do her thing in!
