TWW... starting now!

Hi ladies... my apps think I am ovulating today so about to enter into the dreaded TWW and thought it might be nice to see if I have any 'cycle buddies' out there!? It would be lovely to see some BFP's on here!! We have been trying for a good few months for our first but have really given it everything this month (we're both sick of the sight of each other now😂). Currently have VERY sensitive nipples but other than that feeling good... had quite bad ovulation type pains the last few days but that has stopped now. x

@SophMumBles congratulations!!! Crazy how quickly things can change. How are you feeling?

MelonSmoothie · 27/02/2024 19:46

I've been having some really sharp pains in my boobs today.. I'm probably overly sensitive at looking for stuff but wondering if this is a sign 😬🥴 guess I'll have to wait as I think I'm only 6 or 7 DPO..

Claudiasaz · 27/02/2024 15:52

Always do first wee of the day if early 🙏 @Familyfirst12

SophMumBles · 27/02/2024 15:52

@Herewegoagain0 Thank you so much. Hoping this is the one 🤞🏻

@Familyfirst12 Aah that’s a shame! But hopefully it will be a different story in a day or two 🙏🏼 xx

MelonSmoothie · 27/02/2024 15:40

Argh sorry @Familyfirst12 😫 but there's still time I'll keep my fingers crossed!!

@SophMumBles amazing news! Congratulations! So great to see positive news on the thread! X

SophMumBles · 27/02/2024 12:21

@Familyfirst12 Im trying to hold in a pee for a few hours so I can test again. I’ve done two first response tests this morning, one with FMU and one with second and both the same result. Got everything crossed for you!

I’m convinced I’ve been more crampy than normal in the last few days. I normally get cramps the day before AF but not normally this early… I also cried at something I was watching on my flight yesterday… could be strange or could have just been a really good programme?! Honestly god knows😂

SophMumBles · 27/02/2024 12:05

@Familyfirst12 I’m around 9DPO now…think my period would be due on Friday. Let us know if you do test! I was deflated yesterday at the negative but also expected it.

@MelonSmoothie Thank you! A lot can change, just hoping it progresses now 🤞🏻

@Claudiasaz Thank you, I had awful back ache when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter so I was looking for it this time but had no symptoms. Fingers crossed for you

@MelonSmoothie either 8/9dpo. I know it’s probably too early… and would probably be better if it was fmu, it’s like I know all these things but still really want to do it😂

@Claudiasaz af is due on Friday… I don’t THINK I would be devastated at a blank test today as I know it’s early. Although ask me again after I’ve taken it😂

OP posts:
Claudiasaz · 27/02/2024 11:58

@Familyfirst12 I guess have a think if you'd prefer to potentially see a blank test or a surprise bleed first. I sometimes think seeing a blank test would actually be easier than the dreaded bleeding when I'm at work about to go into a meeting or something and then having to try not to bawl 😂

The only downside for me is when I was preg with my number 2 daughter I did have a negative early and was actually pregnant 🤦🏼‍♀️

MelonSmoothie · 27/02/2024 11:56

How many DPO are you @Familyfirst12 ?

Familyfirst12 · 27/02/2024 11:55

I’m so tempted after seeing @SophMumBles line to go and do a test!! But trying to work out how gutted I will feel if there’s nothing there?!😂

OP posts:
MelonSmoothie · 27/02/2024 11:53

@Claudiasaz yeah it's so hard to tell 😂 I'm going to try and wait for my period but patience is a real issue!

Claudiasaz · 27/02/2024 11:48

@MelonSmoothie thank you! I usually just wait until my period to be honest. I have felt like I was just coming on my period with all of my pregnancies so can't take anything as a symptom! 😂

@SophMumBles Congratulations lovely. Don't suppose you had any backache by any chance 😭😂

@SophMumBles Oh my gosh definitely a line! How many dpo are you? I have my fingers and toes crossed for you x

MelonSmoothie · 27/02/2024 11:42

Ohhhh @SophMumBles that is great, shows a lot can change in a day! Really hoping the lines keep progressing for you.

@Lemonbell I'm really sorry to hear of your losses xx this is only our first month of "trying" so I know it will probably take a while but I'm still symptom spotting like a crazy person. Really want to hold off testing (I'm only 6DPO) but it's so tempting...

Hi @Claudiasaz 😊 welcome. So sorry to hear about your miscarriage in September. The TWW feels like the longest time ever doesn't it - when do you think you are going to test?

SophMumBles · 27/02/2024 11:42

@Familyfirst12
Thank you. Definitely a little ray of hope 🌈
It’s faint but it is there. Really hoping tomorrows will be darker 🤞🏻

TWW... starting now!

@Lemonbell my Natural Cycles moved my ovu back to the 18th so it thinks I am now 9dpo... Pre mom on the other hand thinks I am 8dpo. I had to really resist testing this morning but think I will cave and do a test tomorrow.

I have had really bad cramps for the last 2 days but other than that no symptoms really... I am just praying that it happens this month.

Wow @SophMumBles how exciting for you... have you got any pictures of your faint lines? I know you're trying not to get ahead of yourself but you must be so pleased to see a little ray of hope!

OP posts:
Claudiasaz · 27/02/2024 11:35

Hello can I join please. I am also in my tww.

I had a missed miscarriage at my 12 week scan in September and haven't been able to conceive since..I have two living children.

I stopped opk this month as just generally was getting fed up with it all honestly 😂 but I get cramps and lots of egg whites. I'd say I'm around 7dpo.

This morning got back ache which usually means period en route. 😭 Don't know if it's over this month or not really!

How is everyone else?

A big shock after yesterday’s BFN but had a few faint positive tests this morning. Not getting ahead of myself as had the same a few months ago but the lines didn’t progress at all and eventually my period came. So I’m aware the same could happen again but really hoping this is the month 🙏🏼🤞🏻

MelonSmoothie · 27/02/2024 10:57

Hi @Lemonbell 😊

Good luck as well, at least you know it's early so still plenty of chance. Have you been trying long?
