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 🤞🏻

@Thestoppedfan sorry to hear about your chemical :(
I have heard that too - I think from these threads actually.
The TWW definitely drags on - you’re nearly half way through so hopefully the last week goes quickly for you!
Fingers crossed for you this month! X

JaneGnR88 · 30/08/2022 11:14

@Foreverhopeful92 same! I’m painfully bloated and have been getting sharp pains around my bellybutton and in my hips but this isn’t unheard of for me so I’m probably clutching 😅

Thestoppedfan · 30/08/2022 11:10

Hi everyone :). I’m 5 dpo today and finding the wait this time to be particularly long! I’m a bit nauseous today but I know that can’t be a symptom this early. I had a chemical last month which I have heard (I don’t know if it’s accurate but I am hoping!) that it makes you a bit more fertile for 3 months?

Foreverhopeful92 · 30/08/2022 11:06

@JaneGnR88 so I actually nearly tested yesterday! Sounds ridiculous but I have been so bloated at the weekend I was like maybe I completely mistimed and ovulated earlier. DH talked me down as I was being completely crazy as it wasn’t physically possible 😂😂
i think it was probably bloating due to ovulation as apparently that can happen! Or just something I ate!! Haha!

Foreverhopeful92 · 30/08/2022 11:01

@Astar21 you sound like you timed it well so fingers crossed for you!
ooh interesting I’ve never heard of Provera before.
Testing wise is tricky as don’t know exact ovulation date. Flo app days AF due on Saturday 10th but that means 29/30 day cycle. I’ve had 32 day cycles last two months but a 25 and 26 day cycle before that so who knows! Going by ovulation sometime this weekend I think will be a 30-32 day cycle though.
We’re visiting family from next friday (9th) so will definitely test before we visit. If I can hold out to the Thursday I will but realistically I think I’ll probably test earlier. What about you?

JaneGnR88 · 30/08/2022 11:00

@Foreverhopeful92 I was similar with my tests this month, felt like I tested loads but missed a day or two so just tried to cover all basis!

I’m was going to test weekend of the 9th but due to being unsure of dates and a crazy person I did one this morning 😂😂😂

Astar21 · 30/08/2022 10:46

@Foreverhopeful92 yes you're definitely in with a good chance 🤞🏼 We've tried our best this month but I know it doesn't guarantee a BFP. I took provera in June to delay my period, which I think messed up my last cycle, so not sure on this one.
When are you thinking of testing?
And everyone else?

Foreverhopeful92 · 29/08/2022 21:39

@Astar21 yes hopefully thurs and maybe even tues will be the ones! Guess I’ll have to wait and see! Hoping this TWW goes quickly!
Sounds like you caught it perfectly! Looks like we might be testing at the same time!
Fingers crossed for a lucky thread ladies! x

Astar21 · 29/08/2022 19:29

Welcome @Foreverhopeful92 😊✨ EWCM is a good sign and they say DTD when you see it, so definitely in with a good chance. It only takes one time! And even if you ovulated over the weekend, sperm can survive a few days.
I was on holiday last week so wasn't doing opks. Had a couple of days of EWCM and did a CB digital as soon as I got back on Thursday eve and it went straight to peak/static smiley (which took me by surprise)😂 Then had low twinges/pains on Friday eve so think that must've been ovulation.

Foreverhopeful92 · 29/08/2022 17:38

Hi. Hope I can join you all.
I think I’m in the TWW but not 100% sure on DPO.
EWCM thurs but no peak OPK then was away since so haven’t been testing. Tested today when got back and think the line is on the way down rather than up given the EWCM Thursday.
Not feeling massively hopeful as DH and I were away separately this weekend so only DTD thurs and then previously on the tues. Heres hoping I had my peak on Friday!
Flo app has predicted Friday for ovulation but doesn’t always line up with my peak opk previously so we’ll see. So I reckon anywhere between 1 and 3 dpo.
TTC #1, cycle 6 but cycle 4 of properly tracking/trying.

Astar21 · 29/08/2022 16:22

@JaneGnR88 welcome 🥰 here's hoping this is a lucky thread 🤞🏼✨

JaneGnR88 · 29/08/2022 12:28

Hi all 👋 hope it’s okay if I join?!
Starting my TWW now (or at least I hope so, PCOS so never 100%) but have been tracking since cycle day 7 and got my peak on Friday morning, again, I THINK 😣

This is technically cycle #3 for us but first month properly tracking. Trying for first baby, and had a chemical in December.

Wishing everyone the best and hope this thread is good luck! ✨

Astar21 · 29/08/2022 11:19

@TinyDancer91 trying to conceive #1 🤍 Started TTC in Oct last year, but had a MMC in Jan and a MC in May. So hoping for a 3rd time lucky sticky bean 🌈
Such a difficult journey isn't it, so nice to have some company 😊
Have you been tracking with opks or anything or just your app?

@Beentheredunnthat @MissBeeBee best of luck, sending lots of baby dust ✨

Beentheredunnthat · 29/08/2022 07:29

Hi Ladies, Think I ovulated yesterday so guess that make me 1DPO...

Best of luck to you all this month.

Im currently 3 cycles in attempting to concieve my second.

TinyDancer91 · 28/08/2022 23:17

@Astar21 & @MissBeeBee what cycle are you on & are you TTC #1 or do you already have DC?

I think I'm 1dpo, but one one app it says today is ovulation day so, could be 0 😂🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

MissBeeBee · 28/08/2022 20:33

Me! If AF doesn't show I will be testing 10/09 x

Astar21 · 28/08/2022 19:57

Me 😊 2DPO today...I think!
