TWW starting 31.07.22 - Company Needed

Hey all!

I'm on several other threads that I'm keeping up with but some of them are a tad long now, so I thought I'd start a new one for people to join.

Ovulation day for me today (30.07.22) so TWW starts officially tomorrow. AF due on the 12th. I have tests in the house, but my goal this month is to keep my mind busy and avoid symptom spotting! I don't plan on testing if I can help it. Want to avoid the disappointment if I can.

We are TTC #1 and we are in cycle 4 now. I had a chemical mid June when we weren't officially TTC but when it happened we realised now was the time to actively try. We wanted it so badly.

So that's a little about me and I would love some company in a slightly smaller thread.

Much love xoxox

Hi all 👋👋

Omg what amazing news to come back to congrats @TheCakeIsALie18 5 weeks already!

Fingers crossed with everyones beans & upcoming scans!

After crazy charts and strange test I had the heaviest period I've had since I've come off the pill almost a year go...then was in hospital for some test (non ttc related) andd now I'm back cycle 2 of PTC (preparing to conceive ;) ). Trying to make some positive changes and ease stress

best of luck to everyone still on there c

Hi @eleveneleven11 and @Shleepymummy - I'm also due to ovulate around 2nd Sept if I'm on schedule again this time. Nice to have some people in the same tww again! I'm away for the first two weekends in September so hopefully this next tww will have less time to worry about it 😊

eleveneleven11 · 20/08/2022 21:17

@Shleepymummy hey you! glad to hear you can get on with a fresh cycle. how are you? especially after your sick bug?
my ovulation is predicted around the 3rd sept! we're in sync :) i've sacked off bbt for this month but gonna get on the opks end of august too.
im still feeling a bit crappy, think im having a particularly hormonal period and struggling to pick myself up a bit. got a fun month coming up though so plenty of distractions x

@TheCakeIsALie18 and @xttcbabyno1x congrats on your super positive tests! Must feel nice to see!
@eleveneleven11 my period came yesterday, so my app says ovulating around the 2nd of Sept. I started taking bbt today so will keep doing that each morning and start Opks end of aug. How you doing?

@xttcbabyno1x yeah I'm 2 days behind you at 5+3

I've told my best friend because she insisted on having a toilet photo of a positive test lol. Other than that, no one. We are telling my mum and partner tonight as they're coming over for dinner. We will tell his family after the early scan in a couple weeks and then we are going to visit my dad for a weekend after my first MW appointment and will take the scan pics with us xxx

My partners mum and brother

@xttcbabyno1x eeek I'm feeling a rollercoaster of emotions this morning after that! I will still hold off for a few days to do the digital I think. Will wait till I'm 6 weeks just in case, as it's my last one. It should be my last day of testing too in total, I think my cheapies will run out then too.

Have you told anyone yet? Xxx

@xttcbabyno1x it was quite magical with the Christmas trees and lights everywhere. I added fairylights to all our bouquets and some of the photos were incredible ❤️❤️ wouldn't change it for the world.

Omg yay!!! I'm so happy for you!! I'm still apprehensive about doing my final digital but I did my final FRER and if you squint hard enough you can see the control line 😂😂 yesterday I was worried because the easy@home hadn't darkened but today the line difference is insane!!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ so thay has made my day too xxx

I've got another 8 tests I think so this time next week and I won't be able to put myself through this torment anymore haha. Yep roll on Christmas. Our first anniversary is 22nd December so we will be staying at the hotel we got married in which will be nice. Won't be toooooo big at the point hopefully haha xxx

@xttcbabyno1x your line looks good. I dont think it will continue to get darker will it, if it's already taking dye from control line. I've only been taking easy@home tests and todays isn't any darker than yesterday's I don't think and yesterday's is only a little darker than Wednesdays... don't want to read into it, don't know if these tests will get much darker??? Xxx
