The TWW begins - testing 11/12 Feb.

Hi all

I’ve commented on a few threads but thought I would start a new one for anyone who may have ovulated over the weekend and now starting the TWW? Officially 1DPO today.

This is our first cycle trying to conceive #1. I came off the pill a few weeks ago, had my normal withdrawl bleed. Had flashing smileys last week with the static appearing on Saturday. I will assume I ovulated yesterday as I had a fair few cramps.

Anyone else in the same boat?

I’ve still got a lot of watery cm. It’s really odd, not sticky at all. But practically no other symptoms. Cramps and backache hasn’t really come back. Only slightly sensitive nipples, but I realised today it’s mainly just the left one?! So bizarre. Has anyone just had one sore nipple? 😂

@Robo86 fingers crossed for all of us!

Robo86 · 03/02/2023 10:52

Hey @Mushroo, I know your right but so easy to get dishearten as it is to get excited.

As you day not out to that witch arrives 😏

Lower back ache is a good sign tho, esp if unusual for you.

Ahh it is a little surreal when you do have to tick the boxes, here hoping we tick the pregnant box soon

Hey all,

I'm just outside London.
So think I'm 8dpo today. Period like dull aches easing this morning but still dull lower backache. I dont have any cm and no other symptoms. I got a feeling I'm out. I say it every month and always right. Just that gut feeling.
I've got a frer calling my name. But gonna try and hold out til sun or Monday.
Sorry to be a Debbie downer lol. Could be wrong.
Fingers crossed for us all x

You’re still in until period arrives :) you just never know!

Im not feeling optimistic (now have lower backache which is unusual for me) but it just doesn’t ‘feel’ like it’ll be our month.

I went to the dentist this morning and had to tick ‘yes’ to the box ‘could you be pregnant?’ Felt very odd!

@LittleMiss2023 my discharge is the same. I honestly can't remember it being a symptom with my others but then again it's not exactly a nice one so maybe I've just conveniently forgotten!

Hi all! I have felt alright today - although had another little crying spell because DH gave me a hug while he was sweaty. Poor thing is having to put up with a lot at the moment! 🙈

Ive noticed my CM has gone a bit thick and creamy - not sure if this is normal or not? Other symptom wise, cramps that last a minute or two and disappear.

How is everyone else feeling?

@madeofcodes Feeling like I want to take a test but I know it's to soon at only 5dpo.I've got mild tummy ache/cramps on my lower left side. And I can't stop Googling every symptom I have 😆
All ok other then that. What about you?

Haha! I've got one FRER and no other tests and stopping myself from ordering cheap hcg tests from Amazon. I'm tempted just to use that FRER so that it's not there anymore 😂 I feel like I've been symptom spotting, but I don't really get cramping before/during a period, only ever dull pains so this is definitely new.

Morning all! (Evening Australia?) 4dpo and my temp has risen a bit and my boobs are sensitive but still feel pretty normal.

Im really enjoying this thread! It’s good to have an outlet for the obsessiveness…!

madeofcodes · 03/02/2023 09:03

So it turns out that I can't count, my 10dpo is on Weds! 🤦🏻‍♀️ will post my test then! No symptoms this morning, how's everyone feeling today?

Peachyplumm · 03/02/2023 03:36

@LittleMiss2023 Could be too early but wouldn’t hurt to try, I’ve seen quite a few people get positives on 9dpo here!

Peachyplumm · 03/02/2023 03:34

@OnNaturesCourse Welcome! I think you have the most symptoms out of all of us here! 😂 you’ve got to keep us posted, sounds promising. Have you been TTC for long?

i noticed this evening my nipples have gotten really sensitive, quite sore to the touch, but nothing too extreme at this point

OnNaturesCourse · 03/02/2023 01:03

Hey all

I've been in and out a few threads on here but you all seem like my people 😂

I'm 5/6DPO with AF due around 10th.

Crazy sore boobs, highly emotional today, bloated with mild on and off cramps, creamy and sticky discharge which keeps me thinking AF has shown up early.

OH, and I have that random stabby pain in my ribs/under left boob.

Oh isn't TWW such fun...

@LittleMiss2023 oh lovely! My cousin is on a year abroad with her uni there in Melbourne but she’s been travelling around the east coast and she’s loving it. Her pics look amazing. Must be nice to be having that sunny weather right now while we are all miserable in the dark and cold here 😂 I’ve been gobbling down vitamin d. can’t wait for spring.

I also had a few sharp pains under my boobs!

@madeofcodes @Jb2189 ooh that’s so nice, I’m also 10dpo on Tuesday. Would be cute if we all timed it and posted our test pics. Is it too optimistic to think we could all end up with bfp’s? Haha. I’m trying to be realistic too and I’ve been doing well, but sometimes it’s so easy to get carried away 😂

Im on the east coast and usually it’s great! Today is going to be 36 where I am - not fun!

I wonder if the sharp pain under the boobs is anything related..of course we are questioning everything!

Here’s to positive tests next week! Still can’t decide when is best to test. I kind of want to test on Tuesday (9DPO) as it is my amazing doctors last day before her Mat Leave - and really wanted to see her before she left. But I think 9DPO may be too early?

Jb2189 · 02/02/2023 20:53

I'm the West! I'm 10 dpo Tuesday too. I'm already impatient before we started trying let alone having to wait this out 🙈

madeofcodes · 02/02/2023 20:49

Peachyplumm · 02/02/2023 18:02

Hahahaha @Mushroo @madeofcodes watery discharge woohoo! Let’s hope it means something good 🤣 I’m looking at my pregnancy tests stored away in the bathroom cupboard and itching to take one. I was gonna wait till 11/12 dpo but at this point I’m feeling 8/9dpo testing 🥴 I need answers 😂

although it is quite nice being pampered by my OH who thinks I may be pregnant. If I’m not I wanna keep this going for the entire 2 weeks. Where are you ladies based? I’m in Scotland ☺️

I'm based in the South West! @Jb2189 @Peachyplumm interesting to know about migraines. I really want to tone down my optimism! I was on the implant for probably 8-10 years and took it out in the autumn and given myself a few months before TTC so I'm not expecting it to happen on the first proper try. My 10dpo is next Tuesday so I'm going to try and hold out until then (she says) I've had cramps for part of the day, and still SO bloated.

@Peachyplumm I’m in Australia! 😊I know this is technically a UK site, but I couldn’t find any good Aussie ones!

How is everyone feeling? I had this weird sharp pain under my left boob last night. Stung whenever I tried to take a breath. Only lasted a minute or two.

Ooooh. When I was last pregnant my biggest symptom was the worst migraine I ever had, one day before I started spotting (which I later learned was implantation bleed). I also usually get migraines before my period but never anything like this. Might be a good sign!

Show quote history

I'm hoping so. I get 3 monthly injections for my migraines so they're pretty.much under control and I haven't had one this bad for so long. Will wait and see 😂😂

Peachyplumm · 02/02/2023 19:12

Jb2189 · 02/02/2023 18:46

This 2 week wait is a killer! I've had the most horrific migraine today but not sure if it's an early symptom or just one of my normal ones. I'm Scotland too!

5dpo today, weird hot and cold flushes last night but okay today. Super craving for fish? I never eat fish. 😂 maybe just need the omega and vitamins. Boobs still not sore, cramps almost gone. I’ve been very wet though every day since ovulation and I’m never usually wet, it’s like watery (sorry tmi) rather than the usual thick/creamy before af. That’s it for me! Taking so long!

Me too! Never thought I'd be virtually high fiving a stranger about my watery discharge too but here we are 🤣

Mushroo · 02/02/2023 16:55

@Peachyplumm i feel like I’ve been wet as well (very watery!) but I could just be overthinking!

No fish craving although I did suggest fish for dinner, maybe it’s subconscious 😂
