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?

@Iwouldlikeababyplease no symptoms but it's our first cycle trying so not too hopeful and trying not to put too much pressure on. How are you?

Heyyyy! Just started my TWW, on 1DPO (I think. Though had an LH surge on Sunday but sharp pains yesterday so somewhere between 1 and 2 DPO). DH has LL so only managed the act once on Saturday unfortunately but we'll see though unlikely. Going to try not to stress about it this month and just be as supportive as I can. Love to you all 💕

@Ncl31 hope you feel better soon. Great idea wrapping presents today 🥰 stick on the film ‘the holiday’ in the background too!

@Iwouldlikeababyplease 😂😂I have the same pack as you! I’ve nearly done all my pregnancy tests. Yes I would try 10 DPO and if negative I would test again on 12/13 DPO. I’m going to test Saturday which will be 10 DPO as I’m out drinking and best to know if I am before I drink 2 bottles of wine 😂

have a lovely day all x x

@Iwouldlikeababyplease I feel better this morning thank you, just tired. I’m staying off work today as I work in NHS and can’t go in until I’m clear of vomiting for 48 hours. Still feeling exhausted so I’m going to have a day in my pyjamas. I might wrap OH Christmas and birthday presents while he’s at work!
you’re right it is frustrating and so difficult to get wrapped up in it all.

How are you feeling?

@Ncl31 oh no sorry to hear about your sickness bug, how are you feeling this morning? Fingers crossed your body is feeding your little seed and that’s why you’re ill! I drive myself crazy with it all too! It’s so stressful when something doesn’t go to plan let alone for however many cycles! How many cycles have you been trying?

@gemloving I have everything crossed for you! How are you feeling today? Any new symptoms?

@Hopefulx haha the human body is so strange! I wish this experience was straightforward with the same symptoms! Really sorry to hear about your MC, sending big hugs! I’m going to do a cheapie on Sunday, I bought a wondfo pack on eBay a few cycles ago which had 20 pregnancy tests and 55 opks 😂 pretty sure I have about 10 pregnancy tests and 15 opks now! Sunday makes me 10dpo - is that too soon? Due next Wednesday which is 13dpo… maybe I should wait for our red lady date! What’s your thoughts?

I hope you all have a lovely day xxx

@Iwouldlikeababyplease that’s interesting about prenatal vitamins, I think I could be the opposite and since I have been taking them I get sore boobs or I could be reading into it too much 😂

I do get sore boobs sometimes, I had a Mc in September and my boobs have stayed slightly bigger than normal ever since. The last few cycles they have been slightly swollen but then af arrived so trying not to think about it too much.

Think I’ll test in about 7 days i think! When is everyone going to test?

gemloving · 05/12/2022 21:19

Hello! 6 DPO today, cycles are 26-28 days so can test in 8 days.

No real signs but tired but that's not a real sign until a little later on x

Ncl31 · 05/12/2022 19:22

I’m 1DPO. I’m going to try not to symptom spot if I can. I drive myself crazy last cycle. I’ve come home poorly from work today vomiting, there’s been 6 of us all bad so no doubt just a bug. I wish I was at work to
keep myself busy rather than think about the TWW every minute of the day…

Ooh that is a good sign though! Since I’ve been taking my pre natal vitamins I don’t get sore boobs before AF so I’m hoping if I get them now it means good things! Do you normally get sore boobs?

I know so hard not to spot!!! Not much going on today though but have been out and about for work so maybe not noticing as much as I would on a lazy Sunday 😂

Hey! I am 5 or 6 DPO and my boobs are swollen and sore but I think it is too early still.

Other than that I am slightly hungrier but I do tend to get hungrier in the luteal phase anyways.

Hard not to symptom spot 😂
