Anyone else here back in the TWW around this time? My TWW started 27th Aug and I'm in need of some company!

This is cycle #9 for us now so really hoping this is the one 🤞🏻

@Foreverhopeful92 no I've not bothered, woke up this morning and the spotting is getting heavier so I'm certain it's AF appearing now 😔
Fingers crossed it's just early days for you 🙏🏼

@JaneGnR88 it does look like there's something very faint but I can't be sure

JaneGnR88 · 05/09/2022 09:29

Due on Saturday @Foreverhopeful92 but I have PCOS so this might not happen and I didn’t get a blazing positive on my OPKs this month so I’m not feeling very hopeful tbh! Xx

Foreverhopeful92 · 05/09/2022 09:27

@JaneGnR88 aw it’s so difficult isn’t it! When is AF due for you?

JaneGnR88 · 05/09/2022 09:25

Sorry posted too early! How’re you getting on @Foreverhopeful92 ?

My stomach was doing lots of strange things last week but seems like nothing this morning so just feel normal 🤷‍♀️

JaneGnR88 · 05/09/2022 09:25

Hey @Foreverhopeful92 I have 🤦‍♀️ Driving myself round the bend!

Mine from this morning attached, think they’re indents though 😞

@Astar21 did you test today?

I caved and tested this morning on an easy@home. Unfortunately BFN. Know it’s early days as I’m 9 or 10 dpo but was really hoping!
AF due at the weekend according to Flo so I guess we’ll see what the rest of the week brings. I’m going to try and wait but I’ve just ordered another pack of easy@home pregnancy tests from Amazon so not sure if I’ll be able to resist!

Anyone else started testing?

ireneadler101 · 04/09/2022 21:54

Just a small amount of brown spotting but seems to have turned a bit redder this evening so I think I'm out, but we will see. No other symptoms so I'm not hopeful!

Astar21 · 04/09/2022 21:28

Sorry to hear all BFNs so far...but it's still early days!
9DPO here and I've resisted testing so far. I think I might do one tomorrow?! But not feeling hopeful as no symptoms. The only thing I've had is some creamy/light brown discharge, which started on 7DPO and has been there on and off when I wipe. I have had brown spotting in the past pre-AF and I've also had implantation spotting too, so could mean either!
@ireneadler101 what's your spotting like?

ForeverMrsK · 04/09/2022 21:14

Meant BFPs!! xxx

ForeverMrsK · 04/09/2022 21:13

Hi, yh I'm 11dpo today as well and BFN. Have tested pretty much everyday since 8DPO, I couldn't help myself 😂 I'm pretty sure I'm out too. Have already mentally prepared myself for next cycle. Probably still won't stop me testing tomorrow though 😂 I really hope we all get our BFNs soon!!

Nursemum33 · 04/09/2022 20:34

Hi, I've tested pretty much every day since I was 7dpo 🤣 each month I tell myself I will just wait for a late AF. 11dpo today and BFN. 100% sure I'm out now. I know they say you're in till your AF shows, but I just know. Sending positive vibes to those still awaiting BFP! X x

ireneadler101 · 04/09/2022 19:02

How is everyone doing? I caved and did a test today (8DPO) which was a bit pointless and a BFN! I started a bit of spotting yesterday, which is annoying as it could be a good sign or a bad one, impossible to tell yet! I had spotting during my first pregnancy, and none during my second, and spotted last cycle which was a BFN. Going to try and hold off testing again until 10DPO. Anyone else caved and tested?!

Foreverhopeful92 · 02/09/2022 23:17

Hi to all the new joiners on the thread!
Sorry to those of you that have had losses I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult that must be!
i hope this is the cycle for us all to get our BFPs!
@Astar21 i‘m 6 or 7 dpo (possibly 5) but I’m going with 7 I think. I’m also tempted to start testing from next week! Trying really hard not to symptom spot as I always get my hopes up x

ST18 · 02/09/2022 20:40

@pixiecircle thank you so much, this is very very reassuring ☺️ been super stressed out recently to think it wasn't enough. But thank you for the reassurance. I think I'm 3DPO today, still a little while to go, I pray it goes well for myself and alllll the mums/mums to be here.
Baby dust to you allll ✨❤️🙏🏼

@Nursemum33 ohh I totally get you, the first pregnancy I had I literally did it once on the day of my peak...got pregnant that cycle. However due to what's happened with the loss of our baby. I'm paranoid that it won't happen again :(
But I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Good luck to you all you lovely ladies ✨❤️

Astar21 · 02/09/2022 20:34

Hi to all the new joiners ✨ sorry to everyone who has had losses, it's heartbreaking. Let's hope our little sticky rainbow beans will happen soon 🥰
Hope everyone is holding up okay?
The TWW is a drag! 7DPO here so half way through 🙌🏼 although I think I'm going to do a test at 10DPO.

ForeverMrsK · 02/09/2022 19:05

Thank you @pipixiecircle and well done for holding off!! It's just so hard to resist sometimes isnt it. Keeping fingers crossed for everyone xx

pixiecircle · 02/09/2022 16:55

Hi all hope it’s ok to join, I’m 8DPO today and going a bit nuts!!! I don’t know how but ive managed to hold off testing so far 💪

@ForeverMrsK I am so sorry for your loss. It’s def still early, keeping my fingers crossed for you xx

@ST18 So sorry for your loss xx you normally ovulate within 12-36 hours of the first peak so it looks like you hit O-1 and O-2, which covers the best days (or if you ovulated same day as peak, O and O-1 which are still VERY good)!! And like @Nursemum33 said, just hitting one of those days can be good enough!

ForeverMrsK · 01/09/2022 21:23

Nursemum33 · 01/09/2022 17:04

@ForeverMrsK So sorry to hear that, wishing you all the luck💖💖

Thank you @Nursemum33 baby dust to you too ❤️

Nursemum33 · 01/09/2022 17:04

@ForeverMrsK So sorry to hear that, wishing you all the luck💖💖

Nursemum33 · 01/09/2022 17:03

@st18 if it helps, I only DTD once in the month I conceived with my first. Due to travelling and illness. So once is enough x

ST18 · 01/09/2022 16:07

Hi everyone,

I'm a little stressed out this week.
I had a pregnancy in December last year which sadly had to be terminated in March due to medical reasons.

My and hubby have started to try again.
I've been using CB OPKs, since my period varies each month, typically between 26-33 days

I got my peak (solid 😊) on CD19🎉.
Me and hubby DTD on CD18 (flashing 😊) and CD19 (solid 😊)
Do you all think I'm covered ? I'm stressing out to think it's not enough :(

Anyone think otherwise ?

ForeverMrsK · 01/09/2022 15:55

Hi all, came across this thread today and thought to join you all. This is our first month of trying and am 8DPO today. We had a stillbirth at 26 weeks in April but now feel physically and emotionally ready to give it another go. I was getting cramps to today and though to test even though so early and got a BFN on clear blue digital. Hoping not out of the woods just yet though. Best wishes to you all xx

Nursemum33 · 01/09/2022 15:49

Hi all, I'm about 8DPO (according to app) this is my 10th cycle TTC, but 3rdcycle of really proactively trying if you know what I mean! I have a 2.5 year old, seemed alot easier the 1st time round 🤣

Hi everyone, I hope it's okay if I can join you all on this journey
