TWW Buddies - Let’s keep each other company.

Hey,

just thought I’d start a thread for those in their TWW.
I’m 1DPO - looking for people to chat to and just keep each other company as title states.

last month I was super patient during my TWW and fully waited until 12DPO and tested once.
I just have a feeling this month I’m going to be super impatient and need people to tell me off and not test early lol.

if you’re joining, what DPO are you and any symptoms?

baby dust to us all 👶🏻🤞🏻✨

@Bluebell0921 @Suz1211 I've never had a short AF so it was just confusing; but I had my usual severe AF cramps on the first day. I'm tracking ovulation from today now rather than Wednesday becasue AF cut herself so short lol.

Tracking ovulation is also the part I dislike the most. I don't find the TWW as bad as tracking Ovulation hahaha.

Good luck to everyone this cycle. 🤞🏻

@Nmmck93 for Feb I had seven solid days of bleeding, the first three or four was fairly heavy. In May I had three heavy days the two that felt like it was just the last dribbles and was barely making any mark on sanitary towels (sorry if tmi)

Bluebell0921 · 04/06/2023 22:54

@Nmmck93 hi lovely! I’m very similar to you. Usually 4/5 days. I have had some where they’ve been slightly shorter. I’ve never looked into it but I’m sure I’ve read on here that people who have seen fertility specialists have always been told length of period is irrelevant it’s the length of the cycle that is more important so I’ve never worried too much if I have a slightly shorter period.

Hi Ladies;

Just looking abit if advice as I've never had this before.
My AF seems to have gone all day today. She came Thursday night, was heavy enough Friday, light yesterday & gone today.

Just wonder has this happened to any of you? My cycles are usually 4/5 days long & the 5th day is just like insanely light. 🙈

@Suz1211 @DHB @Bluebell0921 thank you girls. Yeah it's dampened my mood but I'm not as disappointed as I thought I would be.

Have been up since 6:30 this morning with serious AF pains which is normal on my first full day of AF. Just going to enjoy the good weather over the weekend and reward myself with a few drinks. Then wait for AF to go, make an appointment at the doctors & start the next cycle.

Other half is working night shifts through my fertile week this month & I work days so on we're just going to go the relaxed approach and fit it in where we can.

Keep updated with all your results & baby dust to you all. 💜

@Nmmck93 really sorry to hear that lovely. I know you gave it a really good go this month. I remember when we did that and I was so much more disappointed when AF arrived. Hope you are ok!

DHB · 02/06/2023 08:46

@Nmmck93 Oh no :( Sorry to see that! Definitely try the relaxed approach next month I’d say!

Suz1211 · 01/06/2023 21:27

Oh @Nmmck93 I'm so sorry!

@DHB yes I usually get them on the right but the odd time I'll get them on the left. Sounds like my ovulation pain.

AF arrived about an hour ago so I'm deffs out. So disheartening as each month goes in.

Onto Month 5 now for me.

DHB · 01/06/2023 20:51

@Nmmck93 Not a clue to be honest, as I wasn’t testing haha. But I think they’re ovulations pains, as it was CD19 and what I can only describe as really low right sided period aches, had a hot water bottle and curled up like a cat. What do you think? If so, I’ll be around 4DPO today perhaps.

Suz1211 · 01/06/2023 15:16

@Bluebell0921 no it's next week!!! I think I'm starting to get signs of a really bad ear infection - they also make me really dizzy so I don't think rides are a good idea...right? 😂😂😂😂

Bluebell0921 · 01/06/2023 13:13

@Suz1211 aw congrats! I remember you saying last time because you’d had a negative that you didn’t have to worry about going to the theme park! Has that been? What are you gonna do? 😂

@Suz1211 yeah we all just get to a point I. Our TWW when we put ourselves out; I done that a few days ago after my negative test and haven't tested since. Just hoping if it's AF she'll come soon if it's a BFP I'll see a line in the coming days.

Congrats again x

@Nmmck93 I posted was it last week saying I was doubtful? I don't even know? I'm just getting my head around it all - obviously I am happy though.
I'll keep everything crossed for you

@Suz1211 aw congrats! Bet it's abit of a shock and you where just waiting for AF?
Gives me a little bit of hope now; AF is due today but I said at the beginning of the week to my partner it'll probably come Friday.
I never had a late period until TTC then last month I was a day late aswell. Hoping this time im 9months late for AF lol.

@Dreamer88 thank you

@Nmmck93 I tested Fri 26th and got negative, period due Mon 29th and didn't arrive, tested Tues 30th and negative, still no period so tested this morning and then did the second because couldn't believe the faint line. Though I've pulled Tuesday's out the bin and that actually has a fainter pink line - but it is out of the time window when I saw the second line on that.

@Dreamer88 thank you, I do feel like being seen by a doctor would give me peace of mind. And maybe determine if I’m actually ovulating even though I feel I am with the pains around ovulation day.

@DHB are you on your TWW now?
I get ovulation pains like clockwork each month after my peak.

@Suz1211 congratulations hunny! Did you test during your TWW?

My tests have all been negative, AF due today but not here yet, I’m more expecting her to arrive tomorrow. 🙈

@Suz1211 congratulations x

Suz1211 · 01/06/2023 05:55

Ok so my period never arrived on 29th as expected. Waited a few days thinking maybe its because I've been working extra recently and very tired/stressed.

I had two positive pregnancy tests the morning. Very faint - which is why I did the second.
