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?

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!

@madeofcodes Exciting! It's quite nice having people to go through this with! My fingers are crossed for you! Good luck 🥰🤞🏼x

Hey I'm 4dpo 😊 no symptoms for me as of yet, however I have had some creamy discharge in my knickers today..unsure if that's normal or a sign of pregnancy 🤷‍♀️
Either way the tww feels like it's taking forever already. X

I've had the same as you today and I'm on the same dpo. Fingers crossed it's a good sign!

@LittleMiss2023 exactly, I love a drink so it’s going to be very noticeable! I’ve just done dry Jan so I might just rely on ‘easing’ myself in.

It’s so hard because we always do rounds as well, so even more difficult to say ‘no, I don’t want to be part of the pornstar martini tree’ 😂

Going to just make each drink last as long as possible and skip a few rounds I think…

I have a hen party this weekend which is going to be a nightmare. I ideally want to not drink at all but I’ll probably end up having a few.

It’s so tricky in this zone of not pregnant but also could be pregnant!

3dpo and slight boob sensitivity but I tend to get that anyway my each month

It’s so tricky isn’t it! I would say enjoy while you can, just don’t have your usual amount? Or just order mock tails if you can.
I have been slowly decreasing my amounts (and my friends have definitely picked up on it). Hard to know what to say when they ask!

Hey, can I join?😊 2dpo today so a little behind some of you. Af due on 15th but will definitely end up testing before that! 1st month ttc #3

Mushroo · 02/02/2023 09:32

@madeofcodes thank you! Yeh, I’m going to have to be devious I think, lots of tonic waters 😂

Have fun on the hen! If you're making a round of drinks and there's gin and tonic - try and pour just a tonic on the sly/ vodka + lemonade without the vodka 😂 etc. Might help between alcoholic drinks.

@LittleMiss2023 yep I'm feeling very emotional. Tbh I am quite an emotional person and had a lot if stress the past week but this morning just driving along got all tearful for a second then laughed thinking what an idiot lol

Peachyplumm · 01/02/2023 23:54

@madeofcodes i also didn’t have any ewcm and I had my peak (used the digital clear blue with both hormones). I actually rarely ever get ewcm :)

Anyone else started crying over the smallest insignificant thing? Just me? 😂
Started welling up over something and still crying 30 mins later! I feel ridiculous!

@madeofcodes Welcome!! I also only noticed the slightest EWCM this month (like, once on a bit of toilet paper). I also had the peak OPK so hoping I did ovulate! Time will tell I guess.

@Mushroo Yay welcome. There are a couple of us on this thread who are in cycle1 of ttc#1 too! We can help each other out! ☺️

Peachyplumm · 01/02/2023 20:22

@Mushroo welcome ☺️ Still very early! Keep us updated. Did you use opk’s?

No, but I’ve been tracking for months using a mixture of ewcm and bbt so think it should be fairly accurate (ish).

Given it’s our first month DH is convinced it won’t happen yet, I’m being slightly more optimistic!

Hope I can join too! Been on a couple of other threads too. I'm 3dpo, although I can't remember if I had any ewcm - thoughts on this? I definitely had peak OPKs.

Should word that better. Just cause you didn't see it doesn't mean you didn't have any 😊 and it's not bad if you don't have any. Can still get pregnant

You don't always have to have it or not see it

Please can I join! 2dpo and will test around the 13th.

Cycle one TTC number one!

So far zero symptoms…..

Emmamoo89 · 01/02/2023 20:11

@LittleMiss2023 around 3/4 months. Got a 9 month old and wouldn't mind a small gap so have little besties x

Robo86 · 01/02/2023 19:56

Thanks @LittleMiss2023 been TTC for 2.5 years. Done 6 months of clomid with no success and 4 months of letrozole and metformin on last cycle now and if no luck then it's a discussion about IVF.

Trying to keep sane in the TWW is horrid lol

Soda123x · 01/02/2023 19:52

Hi, jumping on board.
Age 35, TTC#2, Cycle #4
I'm on CD17. Think I am 2DPO.I have cycles anywhere from 28-34 days. My app says I'm not due to ovulate until this Sat 4th. But from my symptoms I'm pretty sure I ovulated 2 days ago. Pain in tummy, EWCM etc ... I don't do OPKs or temps etc ... were just going with a very relaxed approach atm. DTD throughout the month and hoping it will catch at some point.This worked for conceiving DS who is now nearly 3. We have decided this is our last month TTC for now. (Other commitments throughout Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb) If doesn't work will start TTC again in July time but then with the OPKs etc...Good luck everyone 🤞 xx

@Emmamoo89 @Robo86 Welcome!! Lovely to have some more people who’ll all be testing around the same time! How long have you both been TTC?

@Peachyplumm 4DPO for me now ( Aus time). I still don’t have many symptoms, although last night I was getting a few on and off cramps, but they didn’t last very long! Hating the waiting game!

🤞 for us all
