Anyone want to join me on the TWW? Currently 6dpo and it’s feeling like forever!

I have had the occasional shooting pain in my boobs, they feel bigger and had cramps/twinges on and off for the last 2 days.

My temp took a huge dive below the cover line yesterday but it’s back up to just above cover line today!

Come and join in x

How is everyone doing? Sorry for being quiet on here.
went to the GP last week as I want to get the ball rolling with referrals etc. She was confused. My notes show no previous appointment(s) regarding my PCOS diagnosis. I’m having to start the whole process again 😭😭
back for bloods next week, then she will refer me to the fertility clinic. However, she has told me my weight needs to come down by at least 2 stone before she refers me! She said it’s likely I have PCOS (urrrrm?! I know!) but they won’t accept referrals unless it’s a BMI of 35 or under!

so I’m going to get my blood results and then go private. However, no idea if the BMI rule will still apply!! Easier said than done to lose weight when PCOS makes it hard for you to lose weight!

I feel like screaming. Anyway, hope you’re all doing okay xx

Ovulation day today! Time for the TWW 😊 how's everyone else doing?

ThatNimbleOP · 14/07/2026 07:10

@TheUniqueMember exciting! Fingers crossed for you, keep us updated 😃

TheUniqueMember · 13/07/2026 07:52

Hopefully ovulating today or tomorrow 🙏 😊 we've DTD 25th, 2nd, 7th, 8th, 11th and 12th. First three outside the fertile window!

TWW Anyone?
ThatNimbleOP · 02/07/2026 20:04

@MrsOverthinker25 all okay here seemingly! Had a very early scan as had cramps and what I thought was spotting but all looks well, even saw a teeny tiny heartbeat flicker.

I hope ovulation is quicker for you, have you thought anymore about the Letrozole? I don’t have PCOS but sometimes I ovulated on the later end, Letrozole sorted that right out and here I am, maybe worth giving a go! Xx

@TheUniqueMember keep going, it can turn in 1-2 days even when you think it’s not!

@SantiagoSister awww I’m pleased to hear, it’s easier said than done not to stress but I know how hard it is 🤍 I hope the weeks fly by for you!!

all good my end thank you, nothing to report. Waiting game for ovulation and praying it’s not a 3 month wait like the last 🥹xx

Thank you, I appreciate that ❤️

Wishing you a very speedy ovulation this cycle and really hoping this is the one for you 🙏🏻

So sorry for the ignorance! Been away celebrating birthdays and visiting family up in Doncaster. Hope you’re all doing okay?

@TheUniqueMember I imagine it will take time to build up, have they started getting darker now?

@ThatNimbleOP how you doing?

@SantiagoSister hope all is well with you too! Xx

I hope you had a lovely time on your getaway!

My tests are vvvvvslowly increasing. Today's one - 0.04. So very faint still

Thank you for thinking of me @MrsOverthinker25! I’m doing ok thank you. Trying to take each day as it comes and trying my best to keep distracted so I don’t obsess and worry too much. As far as I know things seem to be progressing ok, I’m not going to have an early scan as I just don’t think it’ll give me the reassurance I need so I’ve got a very long wait until 12w to know if things are on track. How are you doing?

I took my patch off on 23rd. Yesterdays and today's opk lh level is 0 😱 not sure why I expected anything other than that so quickly!

Horrible symptons slowly coming in though now I'm not on the patch and I've halved my medication. Slow and steady wins the race. Remembering to breathe 😂

ThatNimbleOP · 24/06/2026 12:34

@TheUniqueMember how exciting!! Keep us in the loop :)

Just posting my progression @SantiagoSister if it helps you, i know we're testing twins haha. Ignore all the top tests that was from 1DPO, i went a bit crazy this month. You can see the days DPO next to it. Seems to have really caught only today 20DPO

Thank you for this @ThatNimbleOP! Here’s mine so far. It’s nice to see that you also didn’t have much progression from 14-18DPO either, I’ve been wondering whether mine have been progressing well enough. Hoping to stop testing by the end of this week 🙈

TWW Anyone?

Finally the week is here when I'm going to remove my patch! I spoke to my doctor who advised me to keep taking my antidepressants but go on a lower dose.

I'll be removing my patch tomorrow night and start opk testing straight away to see my levels and DTD EVERY SINGLE DAY even though it is bloody hot in England 🥵🤣 ❤️

Good luck everyone ✨️

ThatNimbleOP · 21/06/2026 08:21

@SantiagoSister that sounds like a good plan…concieving after previous loss is so hard and such a new thing to navigate. At least we all have each other and we’re not alone.

@MrsOverthinker25 here for you too. Hope you both enjoy the rest of your hot weekends xx

SantiagoSister · 20/06/2026 23:25

Hi @MrsOverthinker25 and @ThatNimbleOP, thanks so much for checking in!

Pleased to hear you’re feeling a little bit more relaxed @ThatNimbleOP, great that you got your first dye stealer! 👏🏼 that’s really reassuring. Keeping everything crossed for your scan in a few weeks.

I’m doing ok mostly thanks, still very anxious about all that can go wrong, but keeping a quiet hope that things may work out 🙏🏻 I’ve not test any more at the moment, I think I’ll test maybe next week just to make sure things are still on the up 🤞🏼

Hope you’re both doing ok x

ThatNimbleOP · 20/06/2026 09:33

Hey @MrsOverthinker25, sorry for being quiet! I didn’t test Friday and it really helped me take a mental step back from everything…

I did however tell myself I’d test today to see two days progression and really pleased to say I got my first dye steal at 16DPO! I know FRERs are super sensitive but it’s a big increase from 2-3 days ago so I THINK I can relax a little…but I won’t let out a breath until my scan at 7 weeks.

@SantiagoSister how are you doing!!

@MrsOverthinker25 how are you feeling today? Feeling blessed to have the support of you ladies xxx

MrsOverthinker25 · 20/06/2026 09:14

How are you doing ladies? I hope you’ve both been able to relax slightly xx

Hi ladies, a final test update for me, I’m happy to see some good progression from 10 DPO - 11 DPO on the FRERs. I feel a little more settled now, I will do one final test at the weekend then stop testing. It’s so nerve-wracking, but just trying to remember that no amount of worrying can change the outcome of this pregnancy. Really hoping I can bring this baby home happy and healthy 🙏🏻

TWW Anyone?
MrsOverthinker25 · 18/06/2026 11:51

@ThatNimbleOP I agree! I had to really wire my jaw shut because I definitely could have humbled her, but I’m a nice person so I shut up 🤣

Awww bless you!! I thought your lines looked fab, deffo stop testing now ❤️ everything is out of your hands completely and you need to try and relax and not torture yourself. Everything will be okay, I understand you’re anxious but I have such a good feeling about this pregnancy for you! Super exciting xx

OP posts:
ThatNimbleOP · 18/06/2026 11:45

@MrsOverthinker25 definitely just ignore this person! I imagine she wants to be star of show when she's pregnant and can't understand that people have shit going on. Protect yourself :)

Aw thanks @MrsOverthinker25 my tests don't seem much darker 12-14DPO, still dark but not seeing any progression so i'm cautiously protecting my heart again. Think it's time to step away from them till the weekend to see if there's proper progression.

I may very well be back joining you soon :) Kind of my new norm anyway HAHA! Sending hugs xxx

MrsOverthinker25 · 18/06/2026 10:58

@SantiagoSister @ThatNimbleOP 100% agree with you both! I did say it was an odd comment to make but she didn’t seem to care. She also stood there showing me stuff for her baby shower and telling me the date, I’m actually off that day (I do shiftwork) but I said I’m working, what a shame 🤥!! She has since texted me about something else, but I’ve ignored her! I cannot stand spiteful people!! She is aware I have PCOS, hence why it’s bothered me so much!

however, please DO NOT apologise about posting your tests! I was so happy to come on here and see the lines and how they have progressed! I am so happy for you both especially @ThatNimbleOP as we have been speaking on here now for 10 months and are basically internet besties 🤣🤣 but no, keep them coming, I love to see it!! Thank you for the support ladies. Nothing has been triggering for me so please don’t feel you cannot post as you absolutely can! Hope you’re both doing okay ❤️xx

@MrsOverthinker25 ive learnt that life’s too short to surround yourself with people that don’t make you feel good. Just ignore this person and give them a wide birth! Pardon the pun!

You will be a mum, we have to believe and keep the faith, even though it’s so hard.

Equally, sorry for filling this thread with countless pregnancy test photos. Although positive I’m petrified of chemicals and consequently miscarriages so right now there’s zero happiness, just a new worry…the goal posts are only ever moved. Getting reassurance on lines gives momentary relief but then the cycle repeats. I think what I’m trying to say to myself as well is that we must learn to live in the present. This is 100% made easier by surrounding ourselves with the right people though 😃

Here for you @MrsOverthinker25. Xxx
