TWW and convinced I'll get bfp this month- anyone else?

Very unlikely as it's been 3 years of ttc but it's the first month on letrozole.

However I have bad indigestion and really sore boobs.

Only 6 dpo though.

Still got back ache and feeling a little crampy, never get anything until AF… I either ovulated 14th or 16th and DTD on 15th (my birthday)
probably over thinking it and ting to test but I know it’s too early!! Grrrrr!

Ems1992 · 22/10/2023 16:48

I took another test and it was negative! But wasn’t an FMU or anything - bought it from boots. Will try again tomorrow. I dread to think what I have spent in tests this week 😂

narwhalsarereal · 22/10/2023 16:29

Wow @Ems1992 I'll be keeping watch for an update as what you described sounds like how I feel.

I'm starving hungry all the time at the min but only managed 1/2 small bowl of chicken stew before feeling nauseous today.
Also have some aching in my back, left side which is unusual for me but I think I may be out of luck this month as I think AF is on the way 😢

1111hope · 22/10/2023 15:33

@Ems1992 i see the line!! go buy a sensitive test and wait 4 hours since your last pee before testing? Then you’ll know cos if a faint line shows on a 20 test then for sure it will show stronger on 10. Eeeek let us know I’m so invested xx

Ems1992 · 22/10/2023 09:44

So I have a faint line but could be an evap as it was after the 10 minute window so not getting too excited. Although I have read red line tests rarely give evap? Will try to do a FRER today as this wasn’t a sensitive test (20mu)
I have done two clear blues 2 days ago which gave really nasty evaps (I’ve been stung many times with these) so I’m avoiding any blue dye tests!

Has anyone got a bfp to share with us this morning?

I got a bfn but am 9dpo.

Some more spotting yesterday but nothing overnight. Boobs no longer hurting either.

So frustrating!

Not testing yet, I'm either 10dpo or 5dpo as I didn't track ovulation, just dtd to cover bother possible dates I had from Flo & Premom.

Got aching in my hips and back which is unusual for this time in the month, but I'm not getting my hopes up as I had some cramps on & off yesterday.

Will see if AF arrives somewhere between Friday & next Monday before testing

@hermionelodge ive managed a nap so feeling much better! Tested earlier and BFN but I am only 8DPO so I don’t know what I was expecting lol also zero symptoms so not holding out much hope apart from my rising BBT but that happens after ovulation anyways so won’t read too much into it!

Gingerblueeyes · 21/10/2023 16:43

Afternoon all!
I’m in tww and symptom spotting like crazy 🫣 I’ve had a tugging feeling on my left side couple of days ago, woke this morning with achy back, a little crampy & I have pain in one boob!
Probably completely wrong but feels different to normal as I don’t normal get anything until the red witch arrives!
I’ve just turned 41 so unlikely!!!
period due 28th so too early to test!!

hermionelodge · 21/10/2023 16:15

@Mauhea that sounds really promising! Fingers crossed! Mine are a wee bit sore today, but nothing major. Not sure if it's just pre AF tenderness as I usually get sore boobs about 5 days before. I'm due AF next Saturday

Mauhea · 21/10/2023 15:15

I'd love to join in! 7DPO today and my boobs are killing me. Literally every step is just a tiny bit miserable. Little bit crampy too but very low levels. Started CoQ10 this month and did pretty alright with timings so optimism is particularly high.

hermionelodge · 21/10/2023 12:51

@Anngin hopefully it is just implantation bleeding, sounds promising. I had it with my DD and just assumed it was a period so it def can go on a couple of days!

@longtobe2023 wine headache is awful! Hope the lashes went OK, maybe squeeze in a wee nap haha. I took a test today, bfn as expected. But was just a tesco cheap, not a frer and a blue dye. So hoping I'm not out yet.

@ems1992 still quite early for testing so don't lose hope yet. As they say, you aren't out til you see AF. I have been watching people's test progress on tiktok vids and so many people have nothing one day and then a strong line the next! Some have even tested morning and afternoon and the line has shown up in the afternoon test but was negative in the morning! Sending positive vibes your way ✨️

Ems1992 · 21/10/2023 07:54

AF due Tuesday but feel like it’s coming today. I now have back ache. Tested - negative. Now losing hope. 9DPO so still early but no sore breasts which is a pregnancy sign for me… :(

Longtobe2023 · 21/10/2023 07:47

@hermionelodge the wine went down an absolute treat! I can tell I barely drink anymore nowdays with this pounding headache lol I’ve also booked someone in for lashes at 10 this morning and instantly regretting it now 🤮 that’s all I did, test before and if it’s negative drink till it’s pink x

I've carried on bleeding through the day, well a bit more than spotting but nowhere near a period but I'm not so convinced now. Although when you say 'pulsing' do you mean like a tapping sensation in your lower tummy like where we get period pain? I've had that!

@Ems1992 I think your symptoms all sound very good!

@hermionelodge I know what you mean I was going to drink tonight and I didn't- then I bled more and wished I had- I'm sure it wouldn't make any difference at this stage.
Also we conceived our dc when ttc just like you described for this cycle!

@narwhalsarereal I have adenomyosis - diagnosed about 2 months ago. How did you find out, do you have many symptoms? So far mine aren't all as bad as they could be.

@Longtobe2023 I would call around Wednesday if I were you as sometimes they don't update quickly at all!
I'll call next week too.

I've also had some sharp quick pains kind of in my vagina (sorry TMI haha) which isn't normal!

I'm hoping and praying 🙏

I was diagnosed via ultrasounds a few months back. I went to the GP as my periods had become quite long & the pain was making me vomit.
The scans showed fibroids which they've said is adenomyosis.

1111hope · 21/10/2023 00:27

It’s hard to explain it doesn’t last long it first felt like a razor inside me sharp and just a sensation I haven’t felt before and now the pulsing is like vibrating it’s weird right now my tummy keeps feeling rly empty I’m managing to eat plain things a bit worried how nauseas I feel for so early on if we date back to my last period I am 4 weeks today

Also in the TWW but only just passed ovulation! Good luck to you all - the waiting is frustrating isn't it!

hermionelodge · 20/10/2023 22:11

@Longtobe2023 thank you. I will take a test before I go out, even though I know it will be too early for an accurate result. Hope you enjoyed your wine tonight, sending lots of positive vibes your way for a BFP! X

Longtobe2023 · 20/10/2023 21:24

@hermionelodge theres nothing wrong with a few drinks, I’m 7DPO tested negative and sat and drank a bottle of wine tonight. There’s no point putting your life on hold lovely! I’ve ate clean, not drank, quit smoking and it still hasn’t happened so I think just enjoy life x

2welshmums · 20/10/2023 19:18

9DPO and quite bad cramps this evening, and back pain, along with slightly sore nips (don't usually have that)

Af is due on Monday, I do usually cramp a couple of days before but this feels slightly different.

I caved and tested late morning today, it was negative!

Just feel like I go a little crazy in the TWW and I've had a couple of months off.

1111hope · 20/10/2023 18:44

@Ems1992 the pulsing feeling I keep getting so that’s definitely a sign!! Eeek can’t wait for u test otherwise it’s cat curry for dinner this weekend 😂😂

hermionelodge · 20/10/2023 18:35

I feel the same, even though we would be extremely lucky if it was the case. We just decided to start trying this cycle when I was already part way through so just relied on apps for predicted ovulation and only managed to dtd twice!! Going by apps im 7dpo and I've been feeling sick (actually burped up some sick earlier - sorry bit gross), bad indigestion, cramping, tired with really dry eyes and headaches. Also very short fuse today but DH said that's normal haha!

I'm supposed to be out for food and drinks tomorrow with a friend and just not sure what to do!! Probably best not having alcohol, but then need to think of an excuse, and then might not even be pregnant after all! Such a stress

I have a 3 year old and was so calm about trying with her - didn't track anything, didn't even consider the tww, didn't symptom spot at all until I got my BFP after a missed period. This time around I'm obsessed!!

narwhalsarereal · 20/10/2023 18:34

Also have a weird ache in my pelvis on the left side

narwhalsarereal · 20/10/2023 18:34

Ems1992 · 20/10/2023 12:33

Probably a TMI update but last night and this morning I had HEAPS of creamy, thick discharge (where I actually questioned whether I’m getting thrush although no pain or symptoms) I don’t even really get EWCM around ovulation time so this is definitely a different thing for me.
I also still have a little pulsating in my right side, a constant sharp/niggling

I said to my husband if I’m not pregnant I will eat my cat
I am THAT convinced hahahaha
Pray for me
Pray for my cat

I'm the same!
This is my first month TTC & first time ever TTC.
I'm 8dpo, been feeling 'off', achy back, feel nauseous but not like I'll be sick, also starving constantly.
Had light cramps today which was odd as I don't normally get cramps so early and when I do get them, they are terrible as I have adenomyosis.
I've had no spotting but a lot of discharge which is unusual as I don't normally have so much.
I've promised my partner I won't test till my period is late 🙏🏻 as he knows I really have my hopes up, but I have ordered some first response tests today from Amazon so I'm ready.
