Back at the start of another TWW… anyone else at the same point and fancy being TWW buddies?
We have tried the SMEP method and conceive plus lubricant this month, time will tell if they have made a difference!🤞🏼

At 8dpo my ‘symptoms’ have been:

Slight increase and change in cm

Twinges/gentle cramps on and off

tiny bit more tender boobs (as of today)

waking up more in the night to wee

vivid dreams

some of these I noticed in the tww last time I was pregnant but also have noticed them in cycles the run up to my period as well so hard to say.

AF due next Wed/thurs. We shall see.

What are everyone's symptoms so far? Mine are:

  1. I had a little metal taste in my mouth but not as much as my previous pregnancies.
  2. Extra CM.
  3. Bloating (I'm always bloated though so hard to know if it's a symptom)
  4. Cramping
  5. Gassy (sorry TMI) 🤣

I have 0 symptoms.
Kind of ewcm ish discharge which I get before bfns :(
Trying to ignore that though as I know cm is apparently not too reliable 🙃

Bb542 · 17/09/2024 22:54

@Emiily887 they sound very promising to me 🙏🏼🤞🏼 especially the pink cm 👀🩷

I’ve had back pain, lower abdominal stabby pain, a weird sensation low on my right side and a little streak of pink in my CM when wiping. No idea if they’re symptoms or just me overthinking everything 🥲

@LuxyLocket i can 100% relate to that! Are you planning to test again Thursday when the new tests arrive?
Sorry if tmi but I’ve just had a tiny streak of pink in my CM when I wiped… trying not to let it get my hopes up though!

That does sound rather exciting! When are you due AF?

Emiily887 · 17/09/2024 20:28

@LuxyLocket hopefully you’ll have a second line on Thursday! Will that be 9dpo?
That all sounds really positive!! I had back ache and a stabby feeling low down last night and had little niggles today but I don’t know if I’m doing my usual trick of reading into things 😂 definitely all little brain teases…not to mention the tww seems to get slower and longer every time!

OP posts:
LuxyLocket · 17/09/2024 20:16

@Emiily887 yes I will test again on Thurs. that’s so exciting and a good sign! I’m glad someone mentioned this as I also feel my cm feels a bit different this month and I had some yellow/pink tinge on sunday. been having twinges on and off as well. Like gentle cramps low down. I had that in the tww when I was pregnant last time. No sore boobs yet which were a huge sign last time but I may not get them this time. All these little signs are like a brain tease aren’t they! Sooo hoping it’s a lucky cycle for us all.

Totally agree girls! I also think the early testing is also kind of keeping me realistic because if still bfn by early next week I know I’ll probably be out this cycle and then can process that and it’ll help with the disappointment. If I do get AF then onto the next cycle. I still feel hope though every time I early test!

LucyLou0527 · 17/09/2024 19:05

I did a test at 4DPO, I need serious help😂😂

Emiily887 · 17/09/2024 19:00

@Kiwiburgh @LuxyLocket what are we like!😂
I know for a fact I’ll be jumping on that testing bandwagon tomorrow, not even going to deny it anymore!
Maybe one day we will all gain some testing control, but this month is not the one to change🤣

8dpo today. I stupidly used the only test I had yesterday at 7dpo, of course it was a bfn 🙈. Won't be able to buy anymore until 9dpo, probably a good thing though 😅

@Kiwiburgh glad its not just me!! 🤣did exactly the same thing today and I’m 7dpo too! Of course bfn. However the only test I had detects 25mi of hcg so have ordered some Easy@home from Amazon which detect as low as 10mi and those are coming on Thurs

Emiily887 · 17/09/2024 17:47

6DPO today too! I feel like the days are going mega slow🫠
Just looked at my ovulation tests and I do think I’m 6dpo but could potentially be 7 going by when I peaked (was the morning and I had cramps later that day so wondering if I’m a day out) but trying to stick with 6 so I don’t go testing tomorrow🤦🏻‍♀️😂
@Littlebean25 welcome!! 🥰 that sounds positive! Fingers crossed we all get bfp’s this month!!

OP posts:
Littlebean25 · 17/09/2024 17:09

@boyboymumtoone Also made this mistake with my first, found out at 10dpo and felt like the wait was forever! Especially not telling people when I was dying to 🙈 I'd love to casually find out after a missed period but that would never happen with me 😂

Littlebean25 · 17/09/2024 17:04

Please may I join? 🥰
6dpo and the wait is painfully loooong!
Feeling 'heavy' like when my period is due and hoping it's implantation 😩 x

Bb542 · 17/09/2024 16:15

@boymumtoone I'm finding this wait so long too 😭 think I'm 6dpo today and already resisting the urge to test. I know from past experiences that the earlier you test, the longer the wait is until the 8 week scan 😭

I think I'm 6DPO today too. Have you had any symptoms? I don't think I want to test until I miss my period but I still have 9 days to go for that 🤣 We don't get our first scan until 12 weeks 😱

Bb542 · 17/09/2024 16:15

MrsS11 · 17/09/2024 08:21

@Bb542 it's such a stressful feeling isn't it? I'm scared of being pregnant and scared of not being pregnant. It's overwhelming.

That's the perfect description of how I'm feeling now too.

Welcome @boymumtoone and @iridescentbloom 😊
How are you both feeling?
@LuxyLocket me too! It’s so hard though isn’t it, our brains overthink everything in the tww! 😫

Thank you! Feeling good but finding this wait soo long, hoping we can all get our BFP together ❤️

Emiily887 · 16/09/2024 23:32

Bb542 · 16/09/2024 23:01

Thanks so much ❤️ how are you doing? What day dpo are you on now? Hope we all get BFPs 🤣

@Bb542 I’m ok thank you, I’m 5dpo but looking back at my ovulation tests I could be pushing 6dpo. Had some cramping this evening and a weird stabby pain in my lower abdomen, but it’s probably nothing! How are you? I hope we all do too!!🫶🏼
