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

@LauraA31 For sure! fingers crossed x

TheCakeIsALie18 · 14/07/2022 09:23

@Sunshine0987 hang in there! You're so close to test day ❤️❤️

TheCakeIsALie18 · 14/07/2022 09:23

@Itiswhatitis2021 no I haven't tested yet. But I have been feeling sick since I got into bed last night. So 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 I'm feeling positive. I'm going to test tomorrow morning I think.

Don't be too hard on yourself if this isn't your month, then maybe try taking a more relaxed approach? Have you been to speak to your doctor? I'm wishing you all the luck in the world! Xx

Itiswhatitis2021 · 14/07/2022 09:09

@TheCakeIsALie18 did u test yet? And thanks for the welcome I'll update this when time comes. Been trying 18 months and me and my partner are older I'm 35 he's in his 40s. Think I'm giving up after this month 👍😣

Sunshine0987 · 14/07/2022 09:00

CD24 for me today and time is crawling along slowly. 2 days to go until my first FRER test! Good luck to anyone else testing soon 💖

MarmaRell78 · 14/07/2022 07:05

This month I'm pretty sure I ovulated early (altho I'm not tracking so could be completely wrong, based on cm), do any of you know if this means my luteal phase will be the same as usual and so my period is due earlier, or longer than usual to compensate and my period will arrive at the same time as usual?

Can't find the answer online!

TheCakeIsALie18 · 13/07/2022 22:32

Welcome @Itiswhatitis2021 ❤️ we've got everything crossed for you that the TWW for you will fly by xx

Itiswhatitis2021 · 13/07/2022 22:26

Hi there, I am! I'm 1 dpo. Dtd the 2 days leading up to and the day of O.

TheCakeIsALie18 · 13/07/2022 15:13

@LauraA31 haha well that's good! Less time for you mind to take control lol.

We are all in the same boat. Its good to have a little support system xx

LauraA31 · 13/07/2022 15:10

@acjohnson I will make sure to check in on you too! Fingers crossed it’s the month for us all, but if not it’s nice we have people to get through the next one! X

@TheCakeIsALie18 i am also on a couple of TTC threads, not posted on many because of how many people are in there. You are right with how difficult it is to keep up with all the people and posts!

Luckily this month I am working all the way through to 9DPO, so by the time I have any time at home I will be nearer to my test day 😅 x

TheCakeIsALie18 · 13/07/2022 15:03

@Sunshine0987 haha I will try! If I cave, you guys will be the first to know the result lol xx

Sunshine0987 · 13/07/2022 15:00

@TheCakeIsALie18 you can do it! Not long until Friday now. Just keep super busy tomorrow (if you can stay awake that is 😉)

TheCakeIsALie18 · 13/07/2022 14:44

@Sunshine0987 lol yeah, I didn't expect to see prime day deal and pg tests 😅👌🏻

I'm super thirsty today so have been drinking constantly so urine will be quite diluted. I'll be able to hold off today...but tomorrow....... that will be a little more difficult. I will try. I wanted to test on Friday.

Sunshine0987 · 13/07/2022 14:41

Omg @natasia22 huge congratulations!! I have very similar symptoms to you so I'm taking this as a positive sign 😊

@TheCakeIsALie18 are you me?? My Prime Day tests arrived this morning 😅 Holding out now until Saturday morning because I'm going to a wedding and will feel a lot better about not drinking if there's even a teeny tiny faint line haha

TheCakeIsALie18 · 13/07/2022 14:35

Urgh... tests have arrived.... now to wait and not test. I think I will end up caving tomorrow 🤦🏼‍♀️

Starting the TWW (mon 4th) anyone currently in the TWW or about to start theirs?
TheCakeIsALie18 · 13/07/2022 14:27

@LauraA31 aww bless him. Glad he is trying to be understanding. It is hard for them they don't necessarily have the worry of timing, and testing etc. They just have to worry about you.

Aye, 3dpo is a tad early haha. If you have to symptom watch (I do) keep your mind busy until 6/7dpo when you may or may not start to feel anything.

It's a nice little group here. I'm on a few TTC groups but they're all a tad big and hard to keep up with. This is a nice size. Always here if you need a chat 🥰

Got my fingers crossed for you too xx

acjohnson · 13/07/2022 14:25

@LauraA31 how exciting that our dates are so similar! I will be sure to check in on you lol!

This will be my first month testing if AF doesn't come!

take care,

AJ x

acjohnson · 13/07/2022 14:23

Thank you so much for your lovely message @TheCakeIsALie18!

I have found it so hard having no one to talk to about TTC, too @LauraA31. My best friend is going through fertility struggles with her partner atm so I am nervous/apprehensive about telling her we are TTC...

I'm quite new to these abbreviations, what does CP mean? @TheCakeIsALie18 I hope that it brings extra fertility to you, too!

I've been getting dizzy spells and tiredness too but keep putting it down to the heat, I hope it isn't that!

Fingers are firmly crossed for you!😁💛

LauraA31 · 13/07/2022 13:59

@TheCakeIsALie18 thank you so much for the warm welcome!

I have found it difficult and lonely not having anybody to speak to about the whole TTC time! I don’t want to tell family and get them excited to potentially wait a long time. Boyfriend is trying his hardest to understand my feelings bless him!

Its nice to have a place where everybody is also waiting!
First cycle i didn’t ovulation test, I went on the app and it didn’t work. This time I have used clearblue ovulation tests and easy@home tests, i got my peak clearblue on Saturday and easy@home on the same date.

I keep telling myself 3DPO is far too early to be experiencing anything so trying to stop myself symptom watching 😂

Keeping my fingers crossed for you! X

TheCakeIsALie18 · 13/07/2022 13:49

Forgot to say we are TTC #1 as well xx

TheCakeIsALie18 · 13/07/2022 13:48

@LauraA31 @acjohnson welcome ladies! We will keep you company while you wait.

I, myself, am on 10dpo today and have tests arriving from amazon today haha. They were on sale for prime day 🤣 I'll be testing on Friday and AF is due 16th-17th

I had a CP which passed on the 15th June so am hoping the extra fertility that is supposed to come following a CP will be on my side haha. This month I had cramping 7dpo-9dpo, fatigue from 7-8dpo, I had a major dizzy spell on Monday night and yesterday I had a bit of constipation and (sorry for the next tmi) white/off white snot CM which I've never had before....so yeah... I'm keeping my fingers crossed and am quietly positive...scared I'll be disappointed though.

Glad to have you both along on the journey xx

LauraA31 · 13/07/2022 13:33

@acjohnson fingers crossed for you too!! 🤞🏻

AF is due for me on 24/07, im going to try and hold out for as long as possible but last month I tested so early!

It’s nice to have somebody close to me in days and days of testing! X

acjohnson · 13/07/2022 13:30

@LauraA31 I too am trying for baby #1, we have wanted to start trying for so long and finally feel we are in a position to do so.

Fingers crossed for you 🌟🌟

LauraA31 · 13/07/2022 13:07

Good afternoon all,

I would like to join this too is that’s okay!
Im 3DPO, cycle 2, TTC baby number 1..

Im struggling already and have the longest way to go!! X

acjohnson · 13/07/2022 13:05

Hi everyone!

This is my first time posting.

I am 7DPO and DTD a day before my fertile days were estimated to be. So I am not convinced that I will get a BFP this cycle but if AF doesn't show up in 8 days then my app says I should test ( I use Flo).

I didn't really pay attention to OVU days until I started to join forums for those TTC.

I feel like next cycle will be a better place to start but these past two days I have had sore boobs, headaches, twinges slight cramps and exhaustion.

If AF doesn't show I will be doing a test on 23.7.22.

If anyone would like to be my TTC journey and beyond friend, I would be more than happy to have you! 🤗

Take care,
AJ x
