Hi ladies,

who wants to join for the tww? I had peak fertility on 25/02/23. So I think I may have ovulated 26/02/23.

now in the tww.

who wants to join?

I’m TTC#2, month 8 of TTC this time. 16 months TTC #1.

I can’t say I’m feeling particularly hopeful. I’m used to the disappointment (again), sadly.

@Floralsandsmiles no clue wen period is due? I only came off pill 21st feb lol n then got my static smiley 1st march assumed my ov was 2nd march. I thought it was u def hav to wait 2 full weeks after ov? I was bold i tested with my last Frer weirdly as the urine filled the window goin up it showed a line n then nothin so i assume thats the indent everyone speaks of? Xx awh i really hope urs was jus implantation bleeding xx

Aww man! That's even more annoying for you @Freya8 ! If it took 2 weeks from coming off pill, then if say that 2 weeks after ovulation is sensible yes. We're you regular before that?

I haven't had an indent before, but this could be, from the sounds of others...

And I have no idea on implantation. I felt lots of cramps after the blood on Friday, which is why I thought it was AF. However I don't know what implantation looks like and this was bright red blood and quite abit? So made me think wasn't that and just normal spotting before AF.. xxx

I'd a dip below cover line today. Still annoyed from weekend and had little sleep last night due to being wound up and child coming into our bed due to persistent coughing (bless him). Hubby didn't speak to me this morning other than to say bye, albeit I was equally as thran 😩

Ive jus gotta feeling im out girls the longer this shite goes on. 11dpo we will see wat today brings. Really dont wana test lol keep me from testing ive 1 frer there and i cannot use it until last min 😅

Are you sure @Freya8 ? When is AF due? No symptoms aren't always a bad thing? I've spotted friday- Sunday and nothing today and AF hasn't fully started. Stupidly did a FRER, just to see, BFN 😔 just incase I was going mad! Lol xxx

Piglet34 · 12/03/2023 20:38

@Lilothblos so sorry to hear that AF showed 😔 xx

@Freya8 ooh okay I will try hold out until Tuesday too! And I know tell me about it they have no idea how long it feels!!

@TTCagain85 that does sound like an annoying thing to add in to the mix when you already feel stressed and in the throes of TWW. In laws can be tricky! Hope you managed to have a chilled evening at least

TTCagain85 · 12/03/2023 20:07

Sorry to hear that @Lilothblos. 😞

AF just arrived for me so I’m out for this month. Crossing my fingers for the rest of you xx

I'm sorry @Lilothblos and everyone else on this thread that AF has arrived for, or are still in limbo! I'm thinking of you all! Xxx

TTCagain85 · 12/03/2023 18:43

@Piglet34 I'm so tired of the TWW. I was cramping last night but not anymore. Took a cheapie onestep this morning and negative. But I'm in a right mood....dunno if it's PMS or because my in-laws have been visiting and overstaying their welcome (always on edge with them around and always results in a row with my husband as he disagrees and thinks it's ok that even though they only live an hour away that they always want to stay and take up our full weekend 😡)

Freya8 · 12/03/2023 18:33

@TTC53 awh im gutted for your neg 💗 sending you love. Down a big big glass of that vino 🍷 xxxxx

@Piglet34 so ive started crampin again right side sore ones. Ill be testin tues again i think if ya wana join me on a poas date lol 😆 my hubby actually just said to me this is terrible this wait lmao im lik eh hellooo try bein me xxxx

Piglet34 · 12/03/2023 18:23

@TTC53 yes you are so right, moment of madness I am going to wait until tomorrow morning at least.

Sorry to hear about your negative :( definitely pour yourself a large glass of vino and have a snuggly Sunday eve!

Hope next week brings some luck to this thread! Xx

TTC53 · 12/03/2023 18:06

Definitely try to wait for as long as possible to test to save any disappointment from testing early when levels may not be high enough.

I stupidly took another tonight after no show from AF. A huge negative. No idea why I'm late this month but at 14 DPO I know I'm definitely out of a shot. Never thought I'd be wishing for AF just to start a new cycle again. I never get over the crush from seeing that BFN so I've just gone to the shops for wine and pizza to cheer myself up whilst husband is at work

Piglet34 · 12/03/2023 18:02

@Freya8 snap I am addicted to scrolling threads like that could possibly tell me what's going on! I'm tempted to just do one right now 😅🥲

Freya8 · 12/03/2023 17:42

@Piglet34 hey im with you .. 10dpo and got the bfn yesterday and i dont want to test again lol. Literally all day i am scrolling through threads looking for things that match my senario. My hubby wanted me to take one today but nope not happenin yet here i am torturing myself and becoming obsessed with the slightest little twinge in my body

Piglet34 · 12/03/2023 17:33

I'm so tired of this TWW now ladies 😩 just want to know am driving myself crazy. I don't know whether to do test tomorrow at 11 or wait till Tuesday at 12dpo. Anyone else testing tomorrow?

Lilothblos · 12/03/2023 09:34

@TTC53 The disappointment is the worst, really tried not to get ahead of myself but it’s so hard!

@TTCagain85 if it’s still well above the coverline that’s promising! I’ve heard of lots of people having strong cramping before a bfp so don’t count yourself out yet.

Really hope we get some more good news on this thread soon.

TTCagain85 · 12/03/2023 08:56

I think AF on her way. Cramping like hell. Had a slight temp drop from 36.83 yesterday to 36.66 today. Not sure if that counts as a noticeable dip though as well above my coverline. I'm 13dpo

TTC53 · 12/03/2023 08:50

@Freya8 I believe the average time to implant is between 6 and 10 DPO so there's a good chance that's what it was. That being said ive never had inplatation pains so im not entirely sure what its supposed to feel like!! Give it 48 hours to allow HCG levels to rise and take a test. Keeping my fingers crossed for you

Freya8 · 12/03/2023 08:27

@TTC53 hey babes i am 10 dpo today i think .. i dont chart or take temps was my first month off the pill and i just used clear blue ov got my static smiley 1st march. Presumed i ovulated on 2nd march. Who knows tho! Loll i think ill def do charts if not successful tho i dont think i am great in interpreting them xx

TTC53 · 12/03/2023 08:15

Hi @Freya8, remind me, what DPO are you? Remaining hopeful that it could be implantation pains? Do you chart BBT to maybe see a little implantation dip?

Frustrating that your BBT has dipped @Lilothblos. Hopefully yours is just trolling you as well!! None of us are out until AF! Thank you for the vote of confidence also. I've attached my chart and as you can see my temp has been pretty low all cycle so I'm inclined to think that today's temp is more likely to be off for whatever reason. I hate being negative but also need to protect myself from the crushing disappointment each month!!

Also do yous dtd in the tww?

Freya8 · 12/03/2023 07:52

Morning girls well i woke at 3.34am to be precise in agony on right side felt like someone was stabbing me it was actually really sore take ur breath away stabs. Lasted about 20 mins. Abso no clue cuda been wind 🙈 like i feel fine now? Xxx

Lilothblos · 12/03/2023 07:52

@TTC53 it could have made a difference but that’s a big temperature jump so not to that extent I would have thought - maybe yesterdays temp was trolling you!

I got a massive dip today to just above my cover line but looking at previous charts it’s the exact same pattern as I usually have the day before AF arrives so it’s not looking good, pretty sure I’m out for this month. I’ll test tonight or first thing tomorrow anyway as I’m out Monday night and will have a couple of wines if I can!

TTC53 · 12/03/2023 07:32

Congrats on your BFP @Chip131 and @LittleMiss2023 and anyone else I may have missed on the thread. Thrilled for you.

Sorry hear hear more AF's have arrived. @TTCing I am due AF today and if she arrives I would love to be part of a new thread. Such a draining rollarcoaster this and it helps having other people that empathise.

How is everyone else this morning? AF due yesterday or today, still not here yet... I had a dip in BBT yesterday to 36.44 but still a tiny bit above my cover line. This morning it has shot back up to 36.97. However I live in a very old and cold house so I went to bed with my dressing gown as well last night, presumably this would make a difference being all snug all night? Anyone with BFP this cycle or previous cycles have a copy of their chart they wouldn't mind sharing please?

So difficult as I'm obviously trying to remain positive but also trying to manage my expectations. No other differences this cycle. Still tender boobs (as usual for me), no difference in CM and no other symptoms apart from the odd achy back. I do have a very active job though so I always put aches and pains down to that.
