TWW starting 31.07.22 - Company Needed

942 replies

TheCakeIsALie18 · 31/07/2022 00:05

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

@YellsiBabs do you know that you are pregnant? Not to scaremonger but I had an ectopic pregnancy in June and the cramping on one side and spotting is a symptom. If you know that you're pregnant I'd think about getting in touch with your GP.

@YellsiBabs I've been cramping since yesterday afternoon. Very noticeable but no bleeding so it's not AF coming early. Just hoping it is implantation 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Hannargh hey hey! At least no access to tests takes it out of your hands. Hopefully weekend will come around really quickly for you!

YellsiBabs · 08/08/2022 12:56

Blessing = bleeding* (typo!)

YellsiBabs · 08/08/2022 12:56

I’m having quite a lot of implantation blessing. Anyone else?

I didn’t get it at all my last pregnancy. But last night and today, faint pinkish brown when wiping and also slight cramping/twinges on one side of my lower abdomen.

@xttcbabyno1x we can definitely see the line. Stay positive and hopefully you've got some alcohol free champers in the fridge ready! Xx

@TheCakeIsALie18 exactly!! I just hope it's not an evap, never used easy@home before but have bad indents on FRER! But even then usually people say they can't see it where as people have said they can see these lines so I'm hopeful!! Oh I hope so would be lovely to see lots of BFP's xxx

@xttcbabyno1x urgh men 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣 I understand though. We get our hopes up and then get disappointed but it's our bodies we are relying on. When we feel things it's hard not to get your hopes up.

Oh well, I've got everything crossed for you. Let's hope you're the first of many in the little group 🤞🏻🤞🏻❤️❤️ xx

@TheCakeIsALie18 he was level headed 😅 said the same thing "don't get your hopes up I hate seeing you disappointed"
They definitely don't understand 😅 but hopefully if I get a clear positive, I can surprise him then xxx

@xttcbabyno1x I hope he was as excited as you when you told him. Or was he quite level headed? My OH is very much chilled out and is like "it will happen when it happens" which doesn't help us much when we are literally watching and waiting. Making sure timing is right. Tracking everything. Testing regularly. And trying to do it all before a certain age lol. Men just don't understand I don't think 🤣 xx

@Hannargh hard to get pics sometimes isn't it :) thank you! Very nervous but fingers crossed !! Xx

Hannargh · 08/08/2022 09:25

@xttcbabyno1x that's good - I think it's just photos on here. Can't wait to see you FRER! xx

xttcbabyno1x · 08/08/2022 09:25

@TheCakeIsALie18 working today so that will help :) then will go grab an FRER later! I had to tell him yesterday that I think there could be a line because he said I was "out of it" - he didn't realise I was staring at pics of it on my phone! I've told him I'm not testing again for a bit as I kind of wanted to surprise him xxx

xttcbabyno1x · 08/08/2022 09:23

@Hannargh was easier to see in person today wasn't squinting as much 🙈 apparently it can take 48 hours to darken us that right ?

@peonies1988 thank you so much xx

peonies1988 · 08/08/2022 09:22

Good luck @xttcbabyno1x keep us posted xxx

Hannargh · 08/08/2022 09:19

@xttcbabyno1x ooh I can still see the line too! I don't know if it's much darker than yesterday but it's there!

@TheCakeIsALie18 hopefully you'll get a better result in a few days. Not out yet!

Hi @MumofAlf and @peonies1988 👋 - I'm 8 or 9DPO at the moment too. Expecting AF on 13th and no access to tests until then so I'm hoping to hold out until she makes an appearance or is late. (And living through everyone else in the meantime).

@xttcbabyno1x yeah exactly. Stay positive and do something to take your mind off it! Have you told OH yet? Xx

OP posts:
xttcbabyno1x · 08/08/2022 09:13

@TheCakeIsALie18 probably tomorrow I imagine ☺️ I am so nervous it's an indent or evap but if it's on two tests that's pretty unlucky xx

@TheCakeIsALie18 thank you so much! Definitely time for an FRER I think!! 😃 I didn't want to buy one this month because I spend a fortune on them, but now it's time 😅 xxx

TheCakeIsALie18 · 08/08/2022 09:07

@MumofAlf testing this morning and it's neg. Still only 9dpo so still early. Still sneezing and tooting 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️

@xttcbabyno1x eeek I can see the line! Fingers crossed for your next one! Can't wait to see if that line gets darker.

@peonies1988 welcome to the chat ❤️ it's nice to have so many people join my thread and keep us all company ❤️ xx

The two week wait is so hard 😩 sending you baby dust, when I conceived my first it was on a day I was supposed to be a few days after ovulation and after months and months of trying, that happened to be the one - so you never know ♥️

MumofAlf · 08/08/2022 09:00

@peonies1988 yea all fine here, just getting impatient. Not sure we caught O this month so I kind of just wanna know either way! I’m guna try and not test until day of my period but I’m sure nearer the time that’ll go out the window!
