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 👶🏻🤞🏻✨

@Nmmck93 Oh that’s frustrating for you :( Hopefully the docs can sort you out and you get some answers. I also had quite bad period type pains a few days ago on CD19, I had the same the middle of my cycle last month too so I reckon it might be ovulation pains, not that I’ve ever had them prior to the MC! But it would make sense I suppose.

This month sounds like it’ll be a better month, things to keep you busy and a new house to celebrate, hopefully this is the one as that’ll be lovely news :)

@Nmmck93 That’s the best thing you can do is going to the doctor. I’m in a similar boat but 12 DPO. I went to have blood tests yesterday for a whole list of things that my doctor wants testing. It feels like it gives you some of your control back if that makes sense. Because you’re being proactive about it? Doesn’t help when you have a bit of free time and start overthinking which is what I’m currently doing being off work this week.

Let’s hope AF doesn’t arrive this cycle but if it does then it’s all about making those positive steps to find answers.

@DHB yeah, deffs a more relaxed approach, going to just keep tracking with OPKs and just DTD every other day starting when I see my OPKS becoming darker.

I’m currently 13dpo, AF due tomorrow & have the usual really sore boobs, today have some mild cramping asif she’s about to show up.
all tests negative.

I am going to make an appointment with my doctor once AF goes due to having a lot of pain round my ovary area during my TWW that fully led me to believe I was pregnant. I suffered with PCOS and Endo but haven’t had a flare up in so long and my periods are regular for the last year and a half & having ovulation pain after I get a peak test which disappears.

so a little check up with the doctor just to make sure all is okay.

I’m also going to try this cycle to have less stress (easier said than done) but we’re moving house and will be moved in just before my fertile window & have some family issues but going to just remind myself to put myself first for a while rather than others.

sorry for the rant, hope everyone is doing okay.

@Nmmck93 Honestly, I’ve read so many people having done the same, I think it’s purely taking the stress away isn’t it.

Fingers crossed for you still though! X

@DHB I was literally talking to my partner earlier saying I think that's what we're going to do next month as I have so much stress ontop of my atm.
I'm 11dpo - tests negative, DTD 8 times round fetile week and had loads of symptoms around the 5dpo mark for a few days and have now all disappeared and it's really got to me so next month is hopefully a more relaxed approach.

AF due Thursday but expecting her more Friday & have all my AF symptoms today or sore boobs and mild cramping.

Keep us updated how you get on c

Evening all!

So I’ve been taking the more relaxed approach this month, I haven’t tested. All I’ve done is log in my Premom when we’ve DTD.

I’m now CD20, currently got a mild UTI and had awful period type pains yesterday but that’s gone now. Hoping to test around 7th June unless AF comes before then!

Premom predicted me to ovulate yesterday but I don’t usually get signs so who knows! If that did happen, then we’ve covered the dates in the fertile window quite well.

Suz1211 · 26/05/2023 10:58

I had my negative test this morning - which I expected. At least I can enjoy tomorrow's wedding and not have to worry about the theme park day with friends next week! Fingers crossed for everyone else though!

emmatcc1 · 23/05/2023 14:39

@Nmmck93 Great! We’ll be testing buddies then.

@emmatcc1 I've got a hot tub party on Saturday, but going to use the excuse that i drank too much on holidays (I haven't but who's to know) and that I can't drink no more and I'll just come and chill with everyone. Im going to try hold out until Sunday (10dpo) but I most likely will cave on Saturday also.

@Bluebell0921 aw I know, but in fairness the last few baby dances were the quickest ever recorded 😂 aw keep updated with testing; as I said above I want to try hold out but most likely will cave on Saturday. 🙈

@Nmmck93 Well done on all the BD. I’m not surprised you’re shattered. Hope this month is your month after all that effort.

I’m 10 DPO. Haven’t tested but feel like AF is on her way. Usual symptoms, sore boobs and skin breakout. I’m due on Sat. If she doesn’t arrive when I wake up I’ll take a test with FMU as I’m going away with friends on the Sunday and would have a few wines if negative.

emmatcc1 · 23/05/2023 13:06

@Nmmck93 I wanna wait until 9dpo but I might do 8dpo.

@Suz1211 just remember though AF symptoms and Pregnancy symptoms are basically identical! Keep updated with your test result. Sending baby dust to you.

@emmatcc1 when are you thinking of testing? For about 3 hours now I've a constant full pain in my right ovary, I'm really hoping it's not a cyst and praying it'll be a BFP for me. 😂

OP posts:
emmatcc1 · 23/05/2023 12:53

@Nmmck93 I’m 5dpo and also had ovary pain and some cramps.

Suz1211 · 23/05/2023 12:43

@Nmmck93 fingers crossed!!
I think my period is approaching (due 29th) as I have all the usual signs so fairly sure I'm out. Testing on Friday though (26th) with having this family wedding on Saturday so just need confirmation so I know what I'm drinking lol

Hey everyone, just checking in with you all.
I’m about 5DPO today; we BD everyday of my fetile window (sometimes more than once) and up to 3 days after ovulation.

symptoms at 5dpo;
dull pain in right ovary area.
throughout the day period like cramps.
stomach tightening

I’m also absolutely exhausted but I have fully put this down to not getting a good sleep on holidays as the resort we are staying in is not extremely noisy & im waking up every hour so I’m not sleeping.

how is everyone else doing?

Suz1211 · 18/05/2023 21:54

So there was me being all 'I'm not going to count down the days'
Then I went onto 'I'll test on Friday 26th and buy an early detection test when out on Thursday 25th'

Today out shopping with my husband and he says shall we buy tests now whilst out. I initially said no and then went and picked them up. Now I have to have the will power to wait until Friday 26th. But then I'm also convincing myself it won't be positive anyway. Ughhhhh

@TictacAmi I’m so sorry to hear my love!
im on ovulation day, I usually feel a twinge to know I’m ovulating but haven’t felt nothing & we’ve been DTD for the last 4 days and plan to again tomorrow so hoping an egg has been released an so just haven’t felt it. Not feeling hopeful at all for this month but I wish it was.

Bluebell0921 · 16/05/2023 17:01

I’m also on TWW guys. Ovulated a few days early this month and my BBT has stayed up. AF due 27th. I’m not sure about this month. DTD the 2 days before and then missed the day of ovulation and DTD the day after. Hopefully I’m in with a chance.

emmatcc1 · 16/05/2023 14:32

Will be joining in on tww just got a positive ovulation test.

@Suz1211 I think I'll be with you within the next day on the TWW. My ovulation was predicted for Sunday but today I got a serious strong test, although Premom has shown it as 84 to the eye the control line is exactly the same colour as test line.

I'm also very hydrated because I'm in Spain and keeping loads of water in my body so I'm assuming my peak will be today. We're just BD every day since yesterday anyways so we'll be covered for whenever it'll be lol.

Keep updated with symptoms and stuff 💜

OP posts:
Suz1211 · 16/05/2023 10:56

and here goes the TWW again... Though testing in 10 days, 3 days before AF is due, as it is the family wedding in 11 days and I want to know what I'll be drinking lol. Fortunately the next 10 days are busy ones.
