Hey ladies 👋🥰 ,

I thought I would start a thread for anyone wanting to join me in my tww 🎊.

I am currently 1dpo I have quite a long cycle usually irregular due to PCOS but they seem to have semi regulated themselves and ive ovulated for the first time in years, AF due the 18th of April, same day it was due with my DD in 2013! Found out I was pregnant the day after it was due 🥳, hoping this is history repeating itself as this has been a long ttc journey 😪.

What dpo is everyone? I thought we could share symptoms while we wait. I am terrible for symptom spotting 😂

@5964emily i totally understand how you feel. I’m trying to wait until Tuesday as it’s the first day I’m in the house on my own so I can test without having to put a brave face on when it’s negative! Keeping everything crossed for you x

5964emily · 04/04/2024 09:07

Yep 7dpo. AF reliably comes 12dpo so I think I could test today with the clearblue ultra early, but will try and hang on until Saturday…… I’m going to be broken if (when) it’s a BFN so would like to not have to immediately go to work.

When are you thinking of testing?

littlepanda88 · 04/04/2024 08:49

@5964emily what DPO are you? 7? I'm 8DPO today and also just noticed a similar BBT increase! It does make you excited, just have to hope it means something! :-) I think 7/8/9 dpo is the worst time haha

How exciting! That's something I don't do is temp I think I probably should tho. My nipples are beyond itchy this morning but still sensitive so thats a frustrating combo lol

5964emily · 04/04/2024 08:33

My temperature this morning has increased quite a lot, but again, probably just due to us having heating on yesterday evening and so sleeping in a warmer room……. But a lot of me is now convinced this is the month! 😬

I wish I had more control over this hope!!

How’s everyone else getting on?

Those charts are looking good fingers crossed for you! I feel like having people experiencing the tww at the same time is more comforting lol

Good luck!!! Sending lots of well wishes and let us know how everyone gets on. I binged watched one born years ago… may have to rewatch! It is great!

Meant to say *shouldnt affect!

Kohel · 03/04/2024 16:26

Hello! I would love to join. I am 2DPO. I had my first pregnancy in January which unfortunately ended up as ectopic and removal of my right tube.
I’m told this should affect me falling pregnant so fingers crossed this is my month! We DTD on CD7, 10, 11 and 12 (ovulation day) so i’m hoping we caught the days right!!!

would love some company during this 2ww!!

@5964emily i feel exactly the same.

I’ve definitely got a lot of cramping, but could just be because me I’m more mindful of it! Currently watching one born every minute to keep me occupied while trying to focus at work 🫣

That is crazy in watching that atm too! I'm off work for the easter holidays and its going to drag in my period isn't due till 18th April so going to try test around 10dpo I'm hoping if I can hold off any longer than that but I doubt it

OP posts:
5964emily · 03/04/2024 14:18

Oh bless you!!! When will you test?

I’m completely symptom spotting everything!!! Weird twinges, absolutely exhausted, very bloated…. But probably just because I had a busy weekend.

It’s going to be a long week…..

I really think I need to be less positive as the realisation of a BFN is going to be too hard at this rate!

Morning, is anyone symptom spotting yet! 🫣 I’m 5/6dpo and have really achy legs, but probably doesn’t mean anything!

I am trying so hard not to but I'm noticing every little symptom lol I'm only 4dpo so I know it's not related to pregnancy as its to early but my nipples are so so sensitive and sore, my back hurts,and I'm emotional. What about you

Sunday if I can wait that long… which would be 10dpo. With an early test. Or maybe Saturday…? So sorry you’ve been trying for so long - it’s an emotional rollercoaster isn’t it!

Is this your first or do you have any already

Hi everyone, also hoping I can join! Had an early miscarriage in November have been etc since but this month tried super hard and put lots of effort in with supplements etc… and have convinced myself it’s worked - which I know it probably hasn’t!!! We’ve been trying for years so doesn’t happen easily for us. I need to get into a more realistic frame of mind so I don’t drive myself mad / collapse completely when I get a negative…

Am 5dpo.

So sorry hearing everyone else’s stories but sending loads of positive love!

Aw im so sorry for your loss sending lots of baby dust your way, I've also been trying for just over 8 years it's very draining isn't it, it's so emotionally draining but that tiny bit of hope every month makes us do it again and again, when are you planning on testing
