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

@natasia22 congratulations!!! That’s amazing!

I stocked up on FRERs. I had the peak last Monday, so ideally need to hold out on testing, but think I will tomorrow. It’s my daughter’s 2nd birthday Sunday and we have friends round so I’d like to know because if it’s another disappointment I’m definitely having a drink!!

The last 3 cycles I’ve convinced myself it’ll be a BFP because I’ve had cramps, nausea and tiredness and nothing but BFN…. This cycle not a single symptom so I’ve turned THAT into a symptom “well if I had symptoms and nothing…
maybe this is a sign?”

@natasia22 you can always count on hubby to notice boob changes 🤣🤣🤣

I'm starting to get antsy now. Tests due to arrive in post today. Need to resist the urge till Friday. Maybe with the amount of naps I seem to need I could probably sleep the next couple days away lol

natasia22 · 13/07/2022 11:38

Thanks everyone ☺️
Hope you all get BFPs too!

@TheCakeIsALie18 thank u! Yes probably will keep testing everyday to make sure the line is getting darker 🙏🏻 The line this morning though was very clear (darker than the pic shows), I def wouldn’t call it faint, so hopefully will continue well

My only signs have been bit of cramping from 6dpo, my temp has been rising and my hubby noticed last night that my nipples seem to have grown 😅

MarmaRell78 · 13/07/2022 11:20

@natasia22 congratulations!!! That's really wonderful darling!

crossword233 · 13/07/2022 11:00

@natasia22 OMG congrats!!

How is everyone else doing?

I'm getting more cramps today, I have also noticed increased discharge which I don't usually get when AF is due, so I'm hoping it's a positive sign.

Waiting until Friday to test, fingers crossed xx

TheCakeIsALie18 · 13/07/2022 08:50

@Sunshine0987 welcome! Nice little group we've got going now! Yeah, tiredness is killing me. Considering I work 6 days a week and train 6 days a week being tired is not at all helpful haha xx

TheCakeIsALie18 · 13/07/2022 08:49

Omg @natasia22 congrats! I'm so happy for you! Can't wait till see an even darker line with the next test! Xxx

natasia22 · 13/07/2022 08:18

I’m either 11 or 12 Dpo. As I had a miscarriage in April, I don’t think I’ll properly be able to relax with this one until I see a healthy baby scan, but today I am v happy! 🌈🙏🏻

natasia22 · 13/07/2022 08:16

And got a BFP!!!

Starting the TWW (mon 4th) anyone currently in the TWW or about to start theirs?
natasia22 · 13/07/2022 08:15

@Sunshine0987 welcome! Hope you get your BFP!!

My temp again was so high this morning so decided to test!

Sunshine0987 · 13/07/2022 08:07

Hope you don't mind me joining! I'm also well into the TWW. I think I'm around 6-8 DPO and stupidly did a cheapie test yesterday which obviously showed nothing. I've ordered some FRERs and going to try one of those on Saturday. AF isn't due until next Thursday so still a little way to go for me!

@TheCakeIsALie18 I've also been so tired for the past few days, all I want to do is lie in bed and sleep rather than get up and do anything which is unusual for me.

How is everyone doing?

MarmaRell78 · 13/07/2022 07:53

@crossword233 thanks! I might order some first response online, then at least it will be another couple of days before I'm able to use them!

@natasia22 I'm hoping so! I've got differently sore boobs as well, but honestly, I'm so good at making up symptoms. Was so convinced last month too 🤣
High temperature is hopefully a good sign!!

natasia22 · 12/07/2022 18:54

@crossword233 yeh I have just had mild cramps too on and off. So hard not to read into every twinge 🙈

@MarmaRell78 that sounds like implantation bleeding! Hopefully you’ll get a bfp in a few days! I use FRER if testing before my period and also have some cheap ones. On Thursday planning to test with a FRER unless AF surprised me before!

@TheCakeIsALie18 hope the dizziness has passed for you, but could be a sign!

Other than on and off dull mild cramps I feel normal. I do chart my temp, and that has been higher than normal so could be positive, but hard to judge when we’re having a heatwave 🥴

crossword233 · 12/07/2022 15:34

@TheCakeIsALie18 hahaha thanks - I want to test on Friday as well 🤞 I sometimes get AF symptoms, sometimes I don't. It's really weird!

@MarmaRell78 I use First Response, it's my first time ttc, but my internet research gathered it's best to wait until 12dpo because of hcg.

MarmaRell78 · 12/07/2022 13:19

I only have one test in the house, which is a cb digital, so can't use until period is actually due... What's the earliest you guys are testing and which ones are you using? I always cave and do them way to early and then don't believe the negative result!

MarmaRell78 · 12/07/2022 13:18

Good luck everyone! I'm also waiting... Totally convinced (as I was last month)! I haven't been tracking this time around but based on ewcm I think I'm about 6dpo, but no real way of knowing. I've had a bit of blood yesterday which is wayyy too early for my period, so if it's that, I've got other problems to deal with. Hoping it's implantation! 🤞 And sore boobs too.

We're trying for no2, is anyone else finding that the problem when you've been pregnant before, it's much easier to make up symptoms because you know that's what you had last time? My imagination is very well equiped 🤣

🤞🤞🤞 for everyone!

TheCakeIsALie18 · 12/07/2022 13:02

@natasia22 doing good today...sort of...

Not tested yet, also 9dpo. Had cramping a couple days ago and again this morning. Have been dead on my feet tired...currently lying in bed during my lunch break... and last night I had a funny dizzy spell. I never get dizzy, so don't know what that's about.

How about you?

@crossword233 stay strong! If you can wait till Friday we can test together! I want to be 12dpo haha. AF due on 17th but I never get any symptoms of it so hoping she doesn't show!

crossword233 · 12/07/2022 11:42

Okay, 9dpo today, trying to hold out from testing for at least two more days. Although it's not like I don't have a stash of cheapies and a few FRERs just in case I lose the plot before then 🤣 Mild cramps this morning, hoping it's implantation and not AF. How are you doing?

natasia22 · 12/07/2022 08:04

How’s everyone doing? Anyone tested yet?x

TheCakeIsALie18 · 10/07/2022 21:27

@natasia22 thanks. That's what I'm hoping. It comes and goes at the moment and if I'm honest, the only thing that is really getting to me at the moment is being knackered all the damn time. Sleep for 9 hours at night and want to take an afternoon nap and still in bed by 8pm... hoping they're all positive signs!

natasia22 · 10/07/2022 07:10

@TheCakeIsALie18 From what I’ve read boob pain can be a real positive sign, esp if you don’t usually get it!

@crossword233 that’s exciting your first time ttc, hope it happens first time for you!

I had some more cramping last night, which I had with my first bfp but also I can get before AF 🙈 feels like a long wait to Thurs to test!

TheCakeIsALie18 · 09/07/2022 17:41

@natasia22 I don't normally get any symptoms at all. No boob pain, cramps, headaches, moodswings... nothing. But still 1dpo I've had sore boobs. Mostly nipples. Very odd. Now 6dpo and they are still sore. Xx

TheCakeIsALie18 · 09/07/2022 17:40

@crossword233 oooh we are exactly the same dpo and due same day. Exciting! Sending luck!! Xx

crossword233 · 09/07/2022 11:10

Hiya, I'm new here too! It's our first time ttc so everything is very new. I'm 6DPO today, I don't have much symptoms. AF due on the 17th.

@TheCakeIsALie18 @natasia22 fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞

natasia22 · 08/07/2022 22:28

Thank you! Ah so sorry to hear about your CP, but yes there is hope for us both 🌈 🙏🏻
My AF is due 15th or 16th.
i’ve been having some mild cramps/twinges and a bit of boob pain so far. But I feel like each cycle I feel different things, so could easily be normal pms!
