Hello everyone!
Last cycle I found some lovely TWW buddies on here, can’t find a thread yet this time so I’ve made one!

I’m 4dpo TTC a rainbow after 3 early losses. We have a 2yo little girl already!

Any cycle buddies care to join me?!

You're too early 😂 I thought we were gonna wait. I'm only 7dpo so I have a looooong week but I'm staying strong haha

There's still time. Its not over until AF shows xxxx

I think I’m 8DPO? I got the “6 days early” tests but you’re right, it’s still mega early. I was just really sure!! I still feel stupid but think that is deserved! 🤣

Well I caved and did a Clearblue digital ultra early and it said “not pregnant”.

I didn’t use FMU and it’s six days until my period is due, so I guess there is still a slim chance but feels unlikely. I do feel like something is happening though. If it stays BFN then definitely shows what I know about my own body 😅 Feeling a bit stupid tbh. Oh well!

@Pheebz you're the same day as me I think. I'm 5dpo tomorrow.
I have 3 children, miscarriage between my younger 2 and I had MMC and surgery in August at 10 weeks. I've had one period since so this is cycle 2 since the miscarriage.

When I've been pregnant ive felt completely 'normal'. last month I had every symptom, dreams, cramping, headache, sore boobs etc etc I was so sure but AF showed up right on schedule 😕 I'm not looking out for signs and not testing until 14dpo when AF is due. Last month drove me crazy so I'm trying not to focus on it so much.

Anyone else close to testing?? 🤞🤞🤞

How are you feeling now?

I am tempted to test now as I have a similar feeling to how I did with my first pregnancy very early on, it’s like a very specifically placed bloating that feels like a ball in the centre of my stomach and is uncomfortable when lying on my front. Could be absolutely nothing of course.

Hope543 · 13/09/2024 07:57

Negative again this morning for me. Fairly confident I'm out this month. Just going to wait for AF now, which should come Tuesday/Wednesday. Good luck to everyone else. Keep us updated! x

Hope543 · 12/09/2024 16:44

Me too! Also negative. I think I'm 9dpo today. Will probably try again this evening, like a plonker!

Sorry to hear that yours is also negative at the moment @RoseannesMamma

RoseannesMamma · 12/09/2024 15:22

I caved and tested! Negative so far!

Pipersgirl · 12/09/2024 06:06

Good luck to anyone planning to test today!
I am 8DPO today, but resisting hard haha…(will probably cave!).

RoseannesMamma · 11/09/2024 23:05

@Hope543 @user1480703514 Thank you, definitely tricky to have hope when feeling rough! I’d like to wait till Friday to test if I can. It’s the 13th, our daughter was born on a Friday 13th so it might be lucky! The temptation of being 9dpo tomorrow might sway me but it’s only an extra day so we’ll see! Need some of @user1480703514 ‘s energy to hold off testing!
@Hope543 I do hope you’re not out! You never know till AF comes I guess!

user1480703514 · 11/09/2024 21:40

@Hope543 definitely not out yet, like I said, I didn't feel pregnant when I have actually been pregnant. It was No AF so tested and didn't believe it at all! Thought the tests were broken so had to do like 30 of them to convince myself. I am trying to just focus on next Friday, distract myself and not test, I can't go day after day of BFN. If I'm pregnant I'll get 2 lines on 14dpo, if not then I'm only disappointed that once and I can move on to the next cycle. My husbands still coping with the loss of our little one in August so I won't tell him I'm testing unless I get a BFP.

What dpo are you now? It's the evening now on 5po for me.

@RoseannesMamma how are you feeling now? When will you test? X

Hope543 · 11/09/2024 18:39

@RoseannesMamma gosh, it sounds like you've had a rough month! Really hoping it doesn't have a impact on your chances... everything crossed!

@user1480703514 I'm trying to remain hopeful, but equally I feel as though I've always kind of known previously and I just don't have the same feeling this month. You never really know though, and it's still early days! How are you feeling this month, or are you just trying to distract yourself until AF is due?

user1480703514 · 11/09/2024 14:53

@Hope543 the times I've actually been pregnant ive had no signs at all xx

RoseannesMamma · 11/09/2024 10:58

Hi @Pheebz , welcome!

@Hope543 I’m feeling similar, my body hasn’t exactly felt in tip top form this cycle… I’ve had an infection in my finger, a migraine, now I think I’m developing an eye infection… hardly prime circumstances for implantation and pregnancy!

I might test tomorrow but I know it’ll wind me up if it’s negative!

OP posts:
Hope543 · 11/09/2024 07:03

I have a very strong feeling that I'm not pregnant this month. I know you never really know until you've done a test, but there is absolutely nothing that is making me 'feel' pregnant. It's still very early days, but usually a couple of things have started by now that make me think that perhaps I could be. A few vivid dreams and some constipation mostly (sorry - TMI!) Anyway, I said I was going to test at 8dpo, but I've decided to wait a couple more days.
Is anyone else going to test soon, or are you going to wait until the day of missed AF?

user1480703514 · 10/09/2024 19:29

@OneHeapedTeaspoonOfSugar did af show? X

Hello! Can I join you?

I ovulated around the 5th, not exactly sure but estimating I’m somewhere around 5DPO. I’ve had minor cramping and twinges on my left side since yesterday evening and very light pink tinges in CM. Too early to be anything, but as you all know… hard not to read into every little thing! Quite vivid dreams too.

This would be my second. First time round was a surprise, I felt nauseous and weird a few days before AF was due and it made me take a test. I just “knew” I was pregnant - my body was obvs getting in gear in a way I’d never felt before.

Sending luck and baby vibes to all who are waiting and wanting!

RoseannesMamma · 09/09/2024 23:49

Awww I’m sorry @OneHeapedTeaspoonOfSugar Look after yourself and baby dust for your next cycle!

Sounds like we’re a bunch of fairly early testers except @user1480703514, please sprinkle some willpower around!!

Trying not to symptom spot - my boobs hurt but they have done the last two cycles and it’s meant nothing so slowly learning it’s not a sign of anything… same with twinges in my belly, think it’s just my mind and body winding me up really!

OP posts:
Hope543 · 09/09/2024 19:49

@Pipersgirl I think I'll test on Wednesday (8dpo), as in the past that's when I've got my first very faint positive. I will be taking my partner along for the whole ride!

Hope543 · 09/09/2024 19:46

@user1480703514 I'm having a crazy month this time head wise, and am constantly having to tell myself off for even thinking about testing so early! This 2ww is so tough!

@OneHeapedTeaspoonOfSugar sorry to hear this. I really hope you're okay.

@RoseannesMamma I think I must implant quite early, as I usually get my first sniff of a positive at 8dpo. I wish I had more will power though, as a faint line at 8dpo only makes me anxious and unsure!

Has anyone been symptom spotting?

user1480703514 · 09/09/2024 18:11

I had a crazy month last month and tested from 7dpo and it drove me crazy. I'm testing next Friday 14dpo x

OneHeapedTeaspoonOfSugar · 09/09/2024 17:51

Think I’m out as had some spotting and BBT drop! On to cycle 8 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 baby dust to all of you xxxx

RoseannesMamma · 09/09/2024 17:39

Oooh @OneHeapedTeaspoonOfSugar did you test yet?! Fingers crossed for you!

I know @user1480703514 I really hope we get some BFPs!

@Pipersgirl I think I’ll only make it to 9dpo before testing… so Thursday! I used to only wait till 8dpo but I’ve never had a positive at 8dpo so there’s little point! I test on my own and I tell my husband if there’s two lines. He can never see the super faint lines anyway!!

OP posts:
Pipersgirl · 09/09/2024 06:44

It’s such a rollercoaster every month isn’t it- but fingers crossed for a lucky thread!

@OneHeapedTeaspoonOfSugar if you decide to test today all the luck and baby dust being sent your way!

When is everyone else looking to test? If I grow some willpower from somewhere 😂 I will try and hold out until the day before AF is due which is my husbands birthday…the likelihood of me waiting that long is basically non existent 😂
Do you ladies test with partners involved, or do it on your own and then announce to them later? With my son almost 5 years ago I toddled off to show him the worlds faintest squinter, then had both of us on tenterhooks for the next week peeing on multiple sticks. Can’t decide if it’s more fair to keep the crazy 8DPO sticks to myself and only show him at a sensible timeframe.

user1480703514 · 08/09/2024 19:24

I find it so strange that within 2 weeks some of us may get a BFP. Fingers crossed for us all 🤞🤞🤞
