TWW starting 31.07.22 - Company Needed

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

@Hannargh I use 2 as well. Clue and Flo. Both say I'm 5dpo today. I'm super lucky because I get ovulation cramps so I know exactly when it's happening haha. But it's still nice to track. Gives me something to put my energy into haha.

Aye, I'm good. Still feeling pretty chilled out. Keep telling myself that if I feel anything it is a figment of my imagination at this point haha. Seems to be working 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️😅

I'm feeling like I should be able to hold out until AF due 13th 🤞🏻👌🏻 xx

@TheCakeIsALie18 feeling OK at the moment! I took a leaf out of @xttcbabyno1x 's book and downloaded FF to have another app and spent a satisfying evening transferring my data to it. On FF I'm 4DPO and Premom it's 3DPO but both super early days ...

How are you doing?

How is everyone doing with their TWW? Still pretty chilled or are any of you starting to get the need to test? Xx

@TheCakeIsALie18 I love how they scarred us shitless to practice safe sex and pump all this artificial crap in our bodies but couldnt even convice boys to wear condoms 😂😂

@LorrenK 9dpo is still early and the test may not be sensitive enough. Do what you need to do to prepare for bad news but I think you need to wait until thursday/friday for your levels to rise! Can you do a date night or see some friends?

@Nypie yeah Sex Ed is rubbish in schools. Teach girls about their cycles propey, how to track, how to avoid pregnancy, what is healthy CM, what isn't...etc... rather than just the "you will start your period..." which most girls already had, and the boys get taught to put a condom on.... that's about it... useless!

@LorrenK aww no I'm sorry! Fingers crossed you'll get a BFP in a couple days. Try to find something to take your mind off it xxx

so i’m no longer convinced 😕 did a cheapie this morning and got a bfn. Ordered some more FRER’s to arrive tomorrow. My temp dipped a little this morning too and I’m having cramps today. But i’m only 9DPO so time will tell.. but not feeling as confident today, I think last night was probably an indent. My husband saw the line too but wasn’t convinced either and I have read alot about FRERs having indent lines.

Nypie · 03/08/2022 14:40

@TheCakeIsALie18 it really should be along with monry mangement and mental health and wellbeing! I dont know why I was being taught a million different angles and not bein prepared for my actual future 🙄

This is 2nd official cycle for us. We started trying in April on our honeymoon and while I was tracking we were really pushing for it. I then fell pg with the chemical end of the may cycle without really trying. Passed that in June and since then we've been properly trying. So yeah, technically 4 cycles, but realistically 2 with planned sex etc.

I try to keep the maths and timings away from Hubby. I don't want him to feel stressed of like we are just going through the motions. To him my libido just goes up mid cycle 🤣 he doesn't understand what goes on in my body... I mean I didn't until I started tracking everything last year haha.

I definitely think it should be taught in school!!!! Xx

Hi girls, just catching up. Omg @LorrenK all crossed here for you, let us know how you get on with further tests! 🤞🏻
I'm tempted to test this weekend, I'm 7 days away from AF according to Flo. I dont feel I have any real symptoms though so not feeling very confident.

Nypie · 03/08/2022 09:30

@Hannargh you're definitely right! I thought I'd be so chilled this first cycle! I'm out for meals Thursday, Friday, viewing houses on Saturday and going to market on Sunday so hopefully all of that does the trick and this is my last obssesive day 😂

xttcbabyno1x · 03/08/2022 09:15

4dpo today 🎉 slowly getting through it! Roll on next week! I think I will test next Thursday / Friday @ 11/12dpo x

Hannargh · 03/08/2022 09:13

@Nypie oh yeah I felt the madness setting in last month with our first round of tracking - looking for symptoms, comparing charts, just listening too closely to my body 😅
Anything you can do to keep busy will be good! I'm visiting family and some old school friends over the next week so will hopefully distract myself.

Nypie · 03/08/2022 09:06

@Hannargh I find the tracking really helpful as well, have been doing it for almost a year (to prevent). But now Im past ovulation I think my chart is driving me crazy I just keep comparing on the internet. 1st cycles for us and already lost it.

Hannargh · 03/08/2022 08:03

@Nypie this is technically my 4th cycle - we tried very naively for the first two with no tracking and just guessing and last month was proper opk and bbt tracking, which helped my brain a lot. Doing the same again this month and very glad I did as I had a double peak for Ov this month and might not have seen it otherwise. How about you?

@LorrenK good luck! Most tests apparently work best with fmu but some people may still get a stronger line in the afternoon, from what I've seen on here. But it's still early for you!

Nypie · 02/08/2022 23:51

Ahhhh @LorrenK fingers and toes crossed!!!

Nypie · 02/08/2022 23:49

From what I've read fertilisation can happen from day 1 to to day 5 and implantation from day 5 to day 10 so if you implant early it is possible to have early symptoms from around 6dpo. I'm currently 4dpo and have had the sorest nipples since 1dpo which I don't usually get until 7 to 12 dpo, I was just reading an interesting article about progesterone (the hormone responsible for these symptoms) and how its supposed to peak around 8dpo for healthy implantation I really hope my body hasn't decided to do this early!

Very happy to have TTC quadruplets to get me through 😂😂

How long has everyone been trying?

@Nypie @xttcbabyno1x @Hannargh yay 4dpo tomorrow. Hang in there ladies! Yep hopefully one of us will have a BFP!
