TWW gang December 2022

Hi all! Quite a newbie signing up but a lurker no doubt. TTC baby #1 cycle 5. I only realised after being a lurker that regular lube has possibly been the reason why cycle 1-4 hasn’t worked. Now using preseed when needing an extra bit of slip and slide!

Currently 3dpo, due on 14th December and been having high thigh and side of pubic region stabbing pains today. I know too soon to be having any symptoms but desperately want this to be my month! Anyone else in the TWW and having symptoms?

Hi all! How is everyone doing with TWW?

I'm on my first round of Letrozole and 3DPO. We BD for 7 days in a row prior to ovulating and including ovulation day (wanted to day after too but didn't manage to and I'm gutted!)
I've been taking my fertility vitamins regular for 2 cycles now too. I'm feeling positive about this month though. Been TTC DC1 for nearly 3 years.

This TWW is going to be painful for me I really want letrozole to work!

Hi All,
Just 3dpo over here! I have an eternity to wait before I can test 😂how are you all getting on?

I have a short luteal phase so I’m hoping AF will be late but trying not to test until 11dpo!

Laul89 · 12/12/2022 09:30

Hi everyone! Just hopping on this thread… I think I’m about 6dpo… I don’t track with OPKs or BBT, literally just using my Flo app for now. Cycle 2 ttc #1. After a chemical last month I won’t be testing until AF is late.. due on 21st 🤞🏼🫣

Hope you’re all well & sending lots of baby dust to you all ✨✨✨

I’m going to wait until 14DPO if I can, which is next Saturday. Also, OH birthday, I’m hoping so much it’s a BFP I can give him on his birthday. It would be awesome, then we could let parents know in Christmas Day.
Id usually be so against letting people know
so early on but due to my job I have to let work know which means 2 of my pals know so want our parents to know before them really.

Thanks all, seem all good apart from a slight cut lip and a bruised / hurting knee. I haven't fallen like that since I was a kid! So embarrassing! Since Saturday afternoon my lower stomach/pubic area feels like I've done an ab workout! No associated bleeding and only 10dpo today. Did a cheapie and BFN - AF due Wednesday on 13dpo. If I don't start AF when should I test and what tests does everyone recommend?

@Ncl31 oh nausea! That seems promising! How many dpo are you going to test?

@Needtobuildabridge oh I'm so sorry you're feeling like that, I know I would too. Big hugs and vent as much as you like! Just remember you are a good friend but also going through your own journey and life can be bittersweet

@Bun14 hey!!! How are you feeling? How many dpo are you and any symptoms??

@Iwouldlikeababyplease oh no I hope you're ok!! I tested this morning and got my BFN but not giving up hope yet x

Needtobuildabridge · 10/12/2022 20:24

@Iwouldlikeababyplease I was doing well with the TWW, until I went for dinner with a friend. She is pregnant. I so want to be happy for her, but it's hard when I'm just incredibly envious. Feel crap, and like a crap friend too. 😔

Bun14 · 10/12/2022 19:33

Good luck everyone!!

I am back trying to conceive after 3 early losses. Hoping for my BFP very soon Star

Happyhappy39soon40 · 10/12/2022 19:24

@Iwouldlikeababyplease I hope you didn't hurt yourself.
I am OK. 4dpo today. Need to get a few bits and bobs for Christmas. Probably put up Christmas tree as well

Ncl31 · 10/12/2022 16:15

@Iwouldlikeababyplease
I hope you’re okay and not done any damage.

everything seemed to settle down apart from today I walked along the fish quay with my dad was almost vomiting due to the smell. It doesn’t normally bother me that much.
Im trying not to look too much into it and just ignore it really.

Hi everyone @Hopefulx @Ncl31 @gemloving @peepingmeercat @Needtobuildabridge @Peachy3118 @Happyhappy39soon40

Hope you're all doing ok and having a nice weekend! Annoyingly last night I fell flat on my face at an evening national trust lights event 🤣😢 only 9dpo today so hoping I haven't done any damage if I am preggo although feeling still quite pessimistic! Our next fertile window is over the Christmas break if AF arrives Wednesday which seems great to have the time off work to relax and get down to it 😂

@Hopefulx sorry about that stupid bitch AF! Fingers crossed a Christmas bump in the sheets will help!

@Ncl31 that's exciting for some symptoms! Anymore the last few days?

@gemloving good to know about 14dpo test - I'm sure il POAS before then if no AF on Wednesday but il think of you!

@Needtobuildabridge @Happyhappy39soon40 I have my fingers crossed for you both!!!

@Happyhappy39soon40 doing ok apart from the fall last night 🙈 silly me! How are you??

How's everyone getting on

Needtobuildabridge · 09/12/2022 09:19

@Happyhappy39soon40 That's me too! Crossed fingers for us 😊

Happyhappy39soon40 · 08/12/2022 23:34

Hi all. Sending baby dust to all.
2 dpo today
Af due 21/12

gemloving · 08/12/2022 19:59

@Iwouldlikeababyplease my first two babies didn't show positive before 14DPO aka when I was supposed to have my period

gemloving · 08/12/2022 19:58

@Iwouldlikeababyplease my 3rd so been there done that part of thing. What about you?

I'm still symptomless at 10 DPO

Ncl31 · 08/12/2022 19:57

@Iwouldlikeababyplease im good thank you. Have been extremely emotion and teary today. Also had 2 episodes of sharp pulling pains but only 4/5DPO so I’m not sure if I’m just super sensitive to everything my body is doing.
The last 2 days I’ve had a decent amount of CM too.
Lacking any sore boobs - everyone tells me I’ll know I’m pregnant because I’ve got sore boobs. Hoping I can keep going and not test until AF is due 17th.
Im sorry you’re feeling that way, it’s very difficult and we put so much pressure onto ourselves. You’re not crazy but sending lots of hugs and baby dust your way.

Hopefulx · 08/12/2022 13:18

@Iwouldlikeababyplease hey lovely! Sending you a massive hug, I am also feeling the same.
You aren’t crazy, it’s natural to get upset when it’s something you want so badly - I feel you!

AF turned up this morning on 9DPO - not sure what is going on with my cycles since my miscarriage but they are all over the place.

I’m now on CD1 sending you all the luck! x x x

Hi all, how are you all doing @Hopefulx @Ncl31 @gemloving @peepingmeercat @Needtobuildabridge @Peachy3118 ?

Did a cheapie yesterday at 6DPO - no surprise it was BFN 😢.

Just feeling super impatient this month, just had the biggest cry and wobble to my DP and he is just so lovely but I don't think understands how much I'm thinking/stressing/obsessing over this process. We both discussed last night how great our fertile sex sessions were which makes me hopeful that it turns out positive next week as was definitely a lot of love involved!

Can anyone give me a virtual hug and tell me I'm not crazy please. Just feeling super lonely and sad and I really just want a little family so bad 😣.

Also how many dpo are you all? Any bfps in the last few days?

Sending love and baby dust x

@Peachy3118 I'm sorry for your losses. I'm hoping you'll get your BFP!

Peachy3118 · 06/12/2022 23:18

Hiya, fellow lurker here too at the tail end of TWW. Been trying for a year and had 2 MCs, 1 early and 1 MMC - 12 DPO and have weird symptoms so hoping for a BFP and resisting not testing again until over 14 (i have no idea what my cycle is due to messed up hormones over last year and seem to be longer to test positive if going by previous) if not I have some sort of bug 🙈 3.30am nausea, boobs are huge and cramps in right side. Starting to worry I’m wanting this so much my body is fooling me tho…

Needtobuildabridge · 06/12/2022 21:36

Also 1DPO.... it's always a long TWW! Happy to have people to share it with though. 😊

Ncl31 · 06/12/2022 21:27

@Iwouldlikeababyplease I’m not back at work until Thursday, tomorrow is my day off so at least I have another day to recover.
my darling OH took me out tonight for a new pair of boots after he walked in on my in floods of tears. Had a very emotional afternoon and just not sure how much more I can take right now.
Ive recently lost my nana and my grandad is rapidly going downhill. Then each month the BFNs just get me.

Sorry I completely forget to answer questions for me. Feeling good but slept terribly last night and still having stabby pains but about 99.9% confident it’s wind 😂😂😂 so currently no symptoms. I feel like I’m having a big boob day but no associated soreness! Can’t wait to just get to Sunday to test - it’s all that’s on my
mind I’m going crazy! Saw three magpies yesterday so just going to be hopeful for a baby girl 🤣

@Ncl31 That’s a lovely idea, I hope you managed to have a nice day with no more sickness! Are you back to work tomorrow?

@Hopefulx hahaha twinning! Yes deffo have a wine if negative! I do wonder when doing things on the no no list is actually from, because I really love me some Brie! 😂

@peepingmeercat welcome! I only DTD CD10, 13 and 14 (peak LH) and I assume I ovulated on day 15. They say it only takes one so fingers crossed for you! Apologies but I don’t know what LL is but I really hope you’re both doing ok and sending loads of love and hope! Totally normal to stress, that’s why we’re all here trying to vent all these thoughts and emotions we have to go through alone - here to listen and give a warm virtual hug! I’ve spoken to a few friends about it but feeling such disappointment when I don’t have any news which even annoys me because I’m doing it for me not for them!

@gemloving fingers crossed for you that this is a quick and smooth ride! We’re all here either way! Exciting times ahead for us all! Is this your first?
