Join me on the TWW :)

@CatiaR congratulations on getting married how exciting! Which area of Wales are you in?

I did another cheap this morning and it was the same as yesterday afternoon.
Is anyone northern on here? 😄

@thejollytrolleydolly yeah I get it. I’m probably try a cheapie first towards the end of the week if I can avoid testing, I got a boots early detection too so if I hold off I might try that one first. Then I have a single digital test like you said to use when AF is due or after.

if I stress out it’s normal for AF to delay a week so hopefully not the case this time. This cycle was just finished before our wedding day literally at the start of the month so hopefully the stress levels have been lower! 😊

hopefully we get our BFPs soon but if not there’s always next month! I’ve literally just started so I know I got time but its always the worry I guess of wondering if neither of us has any fertility issues since its our first.

@thejollytrolleydolly that would be the best!

pretty much normal, I’ve been feeling the slightest cramps in my lower tummy and peeing a bit more than my usual but I don’t know really.

normally don’t feel much for AF either so who knows 🤷‍♀️

gonna try my best to wait till mid to end next week before testing as at least would be something like 12/13 dpo guestimating it? And within that 6 days early testing that some tests could pick up.

would be lovely to be first time lucky but not counting on it!

I guess we’re both not feeling much today! I could have been imagining the slight cramps I’ve been having but if I do feel like that is only before AF comes/during and its not nearly that time yet so a little hopeful.

I came off the pill in January so I could get used to my cycles since I’ve been on it for almost 15 years so I had no clue what to expect since I last was a teenager 😂 and my AF came very young at only 9 years old so I wanted to start trying as soon as we got married and here we are!

also started to take pre natals in January in preparation but can only stomach gummy ones like Bassetts as I’m terrible at taking pills so hopefully that’s good enough!

great that the weekend is here as I was pretty tired yesterday unusually but the weather is crap in Wales!

@thejollytrolleydolly close! But not mamas and papas, its JoJo Maman Bebé and although our offices are dog friendly some people don’t know that our shops are dog friendly too!

fingers crossed for you that will be a good day! 😊

@thejollytrolleydolly ahah you could probably guess it easily 😂

@lilpopcorn ahah it’s like seeing myself in a mirror! Me and the husband said lets just stop trying to prevent it, and I had a very chilled idea at first but once I got to the TWW all went out the window! I got tests now but still managed to fight the urge of testing. We’re very close in time I think I’m a couple of days behind you.

fingers crossed we get some good news next week!

@fleur89 congratulations!! Hopefully sticky ones for us!!

The TWW is torture!! It's my first one so I'm trying to be chill but it's so hard. So nice to read that it's not just me that can't stop thinking about symptoms and testing though 😂

I ordered some tests today to be delivered tomorrow, so going to wait until 12DPO which will be Sunday.

Nearly grabbed some at every supermarket visit this week but talked myself out of it every time by thinking "omg so embarrassing buying PREGNANCY TESTS!!" Like I would've when I was younger 😅

@fleur89 congrats definitely darker so seems to be progressing! Fingers crossed for you!

@MrsB262 I tested today too and lines are looking darker. I'm 11dpo 😊 Attached are my tests - FRER, easy@home HPT and OPK. I decided to do an OPK (blue) as heard they go dark if pregnant- seems that's true 😆

Hey.. Wondered if I could jump in for a bit advice..
I miscarried naturally the last week in June.. about a week after we started DTD.. as I didn't have a clue when I was ovulating, etc! I then for 'scientific' purposes (🤣🤦‍♀️) took a clearblue digital ovulation test on the 18th July, & got a solid smiley! We've DTD ever since.. so should I take it as now being 3 DPO or should I just not bother as I've not had a period as of yet?
Not sure what to do here, but I think this could be the start of my TWW? 🤔x

@MrsB262 I think I only keep away since my almost 9 month old puppy keeps my busy enough! Most of other colleagues are busy but I can’t support with much until later on their processes leaving me with not much to do a lot of looking around and playing with the pup at the office or in the garden when I’m wfh 😂

@CatiaR I think I've turned into a testing monster 😅😅 I've got no will power and this is why I can't diet either 😂
These days are so long, I've got everything crossed for you and hope your weekend goes fast! I'm glad work has finished, I only work a Thursday & Friday so it's my first 5 days off of the summer holidays! 😊

@MrsB262 definitely looks darker, keeping my fingers crossed for you!

its still too early for me to test I’m guessing to be about 7dpo today (but again no idea as I didn’t actually test). Will try to hold on till monday/Tuesday.

I had told my husband before I’d only test when AF didn’t arrive but now I got all sorts of tests prepared. Just hope my willpower is strong enough to hold on and not waste any!

definitely hard to wait and hope I’m not imagining things as I only got very slight sore boobs and lower tummy but I generally don’t get any symptoms before AF and she’s not due till next week!

baby dust to everyone waiting!

Okay why do I even say I'm not going to test? There was no one at home when I got back from work so I was just like hey another cheap test won't go a miss especially cos I've been worried today... it's darker!!! Please everyone keep your fingers crossed we had 2 miscarriages back to back before my daughter.
So this is my 10 DPO afternoon pee.
Has anyone else tested today?

@thejollytrolleydolly I see! I thought that might be the case but didn't want to assume! Never worked somewhere like my place either but I feel like its pretty great, and very good given its maternity and baby related! with a decent discount we can use :) otherwise I'd normally never buy their brand as it is a bit pricey XD

@thejollytrolleydolly yes! My son knew about his little sister and he knew she was a girl!! He was completely right! We only found out the gender with her because he was so adamant.

Is shaking and cramping normal guys? I'm so nervous

@satellitesunshine twinges were literally my only symptom until I got my BFP and nausea hit. Definitely a reason to be optimistic 💗

@thejollytrolleydolly My workplace is pretty great not gonna lie! Got my puppy and free food today :)

Airline food can be a bit hit or miss, what do you do if you don't mind me asking?
