Hi, I'm 0dpo, cycle#1, TTC#2.
I'm about to start the hideous TWW and wondering if anyone else is currently in it too and wants to band together for moral support?Star

@Sunshine0987 omg that's so exciting! I almost want you to that tomorrow because I can't wait 🤣🤣🤣 xx

Sunshine0987 · 23/07/2022 18:51

Daily update: no sign of AF which means I'm now 3 days late, very unusual as usually I'm like clockwork. I've now also progressed to experiencing ad hoc stabbing type pains in my boobs and generally feel very full around my lower abdomen area. Trying to wait until Monday for the next test!

TheCakeIsALie18 · 23/07/2022 15:26

@LauraA31 ooooh this sounds promising. I've got everything crossed for you. ❤️

I'm CD10 today and defo think my body is in overdrive this cycle. EWCM, way more than I've ever had before and I don't usually get it 5 days before O so assuming I'm going to O early this cycle. Going to do OPK this afternoon. Fingers crossed. Got a friend staying tonight though... so if its positive we are going to have to get creative to avoid the severely squeaky bed 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣👌🏻

I hope everyone else is doing really well. Sending lots of love xxxx

Mini update: the brown colouring when i wipe has now gone, last had it about 2 hours ago and nothing since….. maybe this is a good thing!

Sunshine0987 · 22/07/2022 12:51

Fingers crossed for your @LauraA31!

LauraA31 · 22/07/2022 08:03

Morning all 🙂

12DPO and negative again this morning, still got the light light brown/pink hints discharge today when i wipe. Strange for this to happen to me, it looks like thicker discharge rather than spotting. I don’t track CM but found some pics on google that are similar to mine!

Going to hold off testing tomorrow and see if AF arrives Sunday, hoping that she doesn’t! X

TheCakeIsALie18 · 21/07/2022 22:01

@crossword233 ahh yeah. Take it easy. Enjoy the ride 😏😘 they say less effort and stress can make it easier.

I'm alright though. Looking forward to what this cycle brings. 😊😊 xx

TheCakeIsALie18 · 21/07/2022 21:59

@Sunshine0987 when I had my CP when I got the pos pg test one of the first things I thought about was the fact I won't be able to have mulled wine at Christmas.... I hope I have an aversion to mulled wine when we catch 😅😅😅 hang in there. You'll know sooner or later xx

crossword233 · 21/07/2022 21:43

@TheCakeIsALie18 I know, I tried to explain to him today, it's one thing to have IB/spotting, and another one to have AF. We'll relax this cycle and see what it brings us. How are you? x

@Sunshine0987 you're not out until AF shows, fingers crossed for you xx

Sunshine0987 · 21/07/2022 21:38

@TheCakeIsALie18 yes exactly haha! And as DH says, it literally makes no difference when we find out anyway. Plus I have major aversions to meat and alcohol at the moment so it's not like lifestyle changes are a reason I need to know yet either 😂

TheCakeIsALie18 · 21/07/2022 20:00

@Sunshine0987 thank you. I've got everything crossed for us this month!

Yeah, maybe hold off buying more tests until mid next week lol. Out of sight out of mind...😅 not... but at least you wouldn't be able to test haha. And if AF doesn't turn up by mid next week you will hopefully get your BFP ❤️❤️❤️ xx

Sunshine0987 · 21/07/2022 19:03

@TheCakeIsALie18 good luck this month!

No sign of AF or any symptoms. I had quite a lot of cramping yesterday but none today. I've also got a splitting headache and had a 2 hour nap this afternoon after 9 hours sleep last night, also not typically AF symptoms for me as she's usually much kinder!

I did a test this morning and still BFN... have run out now so need to buy some more but (sensible) DH reckons I should just wait and see if AF arrives then if not do another test sometime next week. It's driving me crazy so he's probably right!

TheCakeIsALie18 · 21/07/2022 18:05

@crossword233 aye CD4 you've only just finished AF lol so highly unlikely. But never say never? Some women have periods all the way through. Whatever the result though, enjoy the process. I've got everything crossed for you xx

TheCakeIsALie18 · 21/07/2022 18:03

@Sunshine0987 hang in there, is there any sign of AF today since you posted last night? If not you could test tomorrow morning 🤞🏻🤞🏻 have you got any AF symptoms?? Xx

TheCakeIsALie18 · 21/07/2022 18:03

Hey all. It's been a couple days, and now on CD8. EWCM already... I don't usually O until CD15 with a 29day cycle. So this is a tad strange. Maybe after the CP last month my body is in O overdrive this month haha. Feeling positive we will get it this month 🤞🏻❤️

crossword233 · 20/07/2022 21:36

Hi @Sunshine0987, I'm okay thanks x Got my bloods done today as I had a previous PCOS diagnosis, but they never completed the investigation as covid hit.

Everything's okay, except prolactin is through the roof. Poor DH is still convinced I could be pg which is impossible since I'm CD4, so I'm doing a pregnancy test tomorrow just to prove him wrong. I'm having an ultrasound done in two weeks to see how it's looking. I know it's only our first cycle ttc, but I have an opportunity to get this done private and very cheap (abroad), so I might as well do it.

Fingers crossed for your BFP! I'm sure you can test earlier than Saturday x TWW will be gone before you know it x

Sunshine0987 · 20/07/2022 15:52

Hi everyone, how are you all doing? I now feel like I've been in the TWW for at least 1,000 years but hopefully will know what's going on soon! AF is due tomorrow and I'm never usually more than 1 day late. I last tested a couple of days ago and got a BFN but as they say, it's not over until AF arrives! DH is now insisting I wait until at least Saturday morning to do the next test so hopefully this ridiculous TWW will be over soon.

Anyone else got an update, any BFPs yet?

TheCakeIsALie18 · 19/07/2022 14:04

@LauraA31 hang in there 😅😅 there is still time!! Xx

LauraA31 · 19/07/2022 14:01

@TheCakeIsALie18 i broke again and tested this morning, BFN… it’s disheartened me but keep telling myself im only 9DPO and have loads of time yet 😂

Sunshine0987 · 19/07/2022 13:02

BFN for me this morning. Although I still think I'm only 12DPO and AF not due for another couple of days. Definitely have no idea whether AF will arrive or not!

TheCakeIsALie18 · 18/07/2022 10:28

@LauraA31 haha yeah, I know lol. But it will tie your hands for a day 🤣

ooooh that sounds so positive. I have everything crossed for you!!!!! Xx

LauraA31 · 18/07/2022 10:21

@TheCakeIsALie18 I would love to say it will stop me testing, but my brain will convince me to do it tomorrow morning too 😂

I had some light pink watery coloured liquid when i wiped yesterday, i also had cramps about an hour after the pink stuff so keeping everything crossed it is a good sign!! 🤞🏻

TheCakeIsALie18 · 18/07/2022 09:34

@LauraA31 lol we've all done it. Sometimes testing early can help you hold off testing until the right time. Rational brain kicks in lol xx

Ps sorry for separate messages, phone won't let me tag 2 people at once most of the time lol

TheCakeIsALie18 · 18/07/2022 09:33

@crossword233 sorry AF turned up, at least you have something to look forward to for this month! Xx

LauraA31 · 18/07/2022 09:19

Morning all, i was super daft this morning and tested! I’m only 8DPO so don’t know what i expected haha but it was negative!

Going to try hold out until Wednesday now!
