TWW Buddies..

@MrsL22 there is no harm in testing as long as you don’t get too knocked by a negative. At 9dpo I had nothing at all in the morning and only a shadow of a line outside the time frame in the evening. And I actually think that it was really 10dpo because of the timing of my peak… If a negative is going to really knock you then maybe wait? I just loved POAS so I did LH levels and kept an eye out for a rise.

@SimplyChic that sounds like a sensible approach to it all though you already sound like you have more symptoms than me. Mine was all the cramping but my boobs still feel normal and in my previous pregnancies they were my first clue.

@Downtherabbithole83 I am 11dpo today so starting to struggle with not testing, especially with my husband egging me
on 😂

@Downtherabbithole83 I haven't again yet as my app expects AF to be here today, so I'm giving her a chance to show up first. I really hope that I won't be left in limbo again this month 🥺 I'll probably test again no earlier than tomorrow or possibly later to give it more time as the spotting was only a few days ago late in the afternoon.

My boobs are still painful and I had a horrendous backache late last night. I had to use a hot water bottle!

@Downtherabbithole83 I’m now 9dpo so really struggling to not test. But how I’m feeling today I think I probably should just poas to get it over with.

@MrsL22 , @Pitstop1986 and @Mrsrobinsonx I’m sorry you’re all having such a tricky tww - all of these symptoms sound really promising though. How many dpo are you all? I’m so impressed with your determination not to test - I failed miserably with that every month!!! I am so hoping you all get your BFPs this month.

@SimplyChic are you testing again after your possible line yesterday or waiting?

I’ve had a positive on a regular clearblue this morning (rather than an early detection one) so will now stop obsessively testing - though it was a double pack so will probably pee on the other one at some point - but my anxiety is now building big time. I am scared to run and dtd with my other half in case it affects anything at this early stage . I also don’t dare refer myself on anything in case it jinxes it which is so silly because I didn’t have any problems with it being sticky last time, it was only when we got to 12 weeks that we found out there was an issue… it’s so hard to enjoy this stage this time as we’re so worried about having the same outcome as we did in November.

@Mrsrobinsonx It’s sooooo confusing!! I actually find it really painful and damaging - it sends me mental.

I’ve not slept properly for two nights having had the most vivid dreams and peeing all night. I’ve got a super stuffy head cold and I’ve woken up today feeling really out of sorts. Like a level of anxiety I have never experienced before. I just need a BFP or AF now 😥x

@MrsL22 I’m due on Wednesday too but not sure I can make it past then 😆
It could be, right timing I guess. However I’m not hopeful as I had it last month! The doctor said I had a friable cervix but thinks it’s because I had a colposcopy in the 2ww last time so that irritated it. But we have dtd lots of times this month with nothing like that until now. 🤨 ttc is so confusing x

@Mrsrobinsonx I’m due on Wednesday I think. So hoping to hold out until weekend 🤞🏼

could the pink tinge be implantation?

@MrsL22 I’m the opposite, my nipples aren’t sore but my breast tissue is tender but has been since ovulation.
praying for you! When is test day?
Tmi but we have actually just dtd and after there was really light pink on the tissue so bit confused if AF is coming early, x

@Downtherabbithole83 they are so lovely to see!!! Can’t wait to finally get mine.

@Mrsrobinsonx I think I’ve made up symptoms in the past so this month I don’t know what’s actually real and what’s not 😂🙈 the sore nipples are 1000% real but god knows 🤷🏻‍♀️ maybe no news is good news for you and maybe I’ll be sorely disappointed after getting my hopes up and it just being PMS

Not positive for my waistline!😂

@Pitstop1986 thank you! Let’s hope 🤍
your symptoms seem to be positive too! 🤞🏻

That could be a good thing @Mrsrobinsonx I've heard a lot of women who don't have any symptoms just before AF was due to arrive that got a bfp.

Fingers crossed for you!

Well update from me today, still feeling… nothing 😆
not sure if it’s a good thing I haven’t got pms or a bad thing that I’ve got no symptoms.

These are my tests from late evening at 9dpo to today (bottom two) at 12dpo. They all look a lot darker now than they did within the 5 mins (where the two at the top were barely visible) except for the Clearblue which came up within the time frame.

@Downtherabbithole83 how are you getting on? Have you had some line progression?

@Pitstop1986 here’s hoping your nausea is for a positive reason and not for d and v!

@SimplyChic I had more cm than normal on the days leading up to my BFP…

I cannot stop eating... feeling sick if I've gone for more than an hour or two between snacks

DDcame home early from nursery with d and v on Friday , so nausea could be down to that. I need to stop myself from symptom spotting and getting overexcited!

@Downtherabbithole83 @Pitstop1986 possibly, unfortunately I threw it away early this morning 😖 I've had some creamy cm as well this afternoon so I'm thinking AF is on her way, but I will still be relieved even if she does show up at this point. Doesn't explain the random spotting though 🤷‍♀️

I'm concentrating on my wedding decorations this weekend, so it's being a good distraction so far!

@Pitstop1986 I totally get it. I so planned on waiting and failed miserably but that was mainly because I had such bad cramps that I thought AF was coming early. No other symptoms though…

@Mrsrobinsonx glad to hear it 😂

@Downtherabbithole83 I’m still hanging in there, plodding along 😂

I was symptom spotting like crazy in bed last night... it took all my will not to test this morning!
I may test Monday or Tuesday, although common sense is telling me to wait until after Wednesday for a missed period

@SimplyChic afraid I can’t see anything on there - what did it dry like? I’ve found my BFPs on my cheapies were very faint within the time and then dried darker (hoping this is just because it’s still early days). My clearblue tests were better.

Hope the tww isn’t being too awful @MrsL22 , @Pitstop1986 and @Mrsrobinsonx (and any others I’ve missed). Keep us up to date 🤞

@SimplyChic I can't see anything, but sometimes a picture taken isn't as dark as what you see. Give it a couple of days. If you are pregnant, it'll give your hcg levels time to rise, so it'll give you a clearer positive. You must be experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions! I hope you're taking a little time out for yourself for some self care x

@MrsL22 thank you. I will wait until after AF. I've had no more spotting since the other day which was strange. Still have AF symptoms though
