TWW Anyone?

MrsOverthinker25 · 14/08/2025 15:40

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

CD 15 for me and predicted ovulation day. Got positive LHs Saturday Sunday and today but yesterday was definitely peak as the test line was a lot darker than the control. I'm the same I know they say they live for 5 days but there's always that gut feeling you've reduced your chances if you miss a day. Did you get your peak yet?

Kirsty198511 · 07/09/2025 20:00

Hey everyone, how are you all doing? I’m feeling a bit blah today. My Clearblue fertility monitor is still showing High—I think this is day 6 now! I’m really hoping to see a Peak tomorrow. The only problem is my partner goes away on Tuesday, so even if I do peak tomorrow, we’ll only have one day to try and catch it. I know they say sperm can survive up to 5 days, but I can’t help feeling like we might miss it this month. Fingers crossed it still works out 🤞

Thank you! I’m so excited, we fly on the 4th October for 3 weeks so not long at all. I need to shift my ass and get some clothes but I just cannot be bothered 😂

It’s supposed to be really good, it’s just a lubricant (£20 on Amazon 😳) but i imagine it would last a few months?! Haha yes!! I need to buy some more Benylin 😂😂 the things we do hey!! Xx

Oh Florida sounds amazing! I hope you have a lovely time. I’ve not heard of preseed?! I’ll look into it! May as well add another thing to go along with baby aspirin and Guaifenesin 🫣🤣🫣 xx

Thank you @NatalieSF and @Kirsty198511 .. yes so glad to be doing better, I hate being ill!

I’ve heard good things about the SMEM! Fingers crossed for you! I think it’s 200mg? I’ve heard it should be higher than that but I have also watched a lot of videos with those just taking 200mg and conceived? There’s always conflicting information though haha!

Awww exciting Kirsty! Anytime soon for you then, good luck for this cycle. Due to my PCOS I have longgg cycles, so I’m not due to ovulate until the 26th of this month 😣 it’s so hard waiting so long each cycle. But I’ll be in Florida on a family holiday for my TWW, so it’ll even be easier should I get a BFN, or it’ll just make the holiday that little bit more wholesome! Xx

Morning all, @MrsOverthinker25sorry to hear you’ve been poorly! Glad you’re better now.

I have the clearblue advanced fertility monitor and I read High this morning so looks like my body is gearing up. I’m still taking baby aspirin each morning and had my first lot of Guaifenesin which I’ll keep taking till the monitor reads low again.

where are all you in your cycles? x

NatalieSF · 31/08/2025 15:56

@MrsOverthinker25glad your feeling better..cd8 for me , were trying the sperm meets egg method this month or at least going to try 🤣 how much coq10 are you taking? I was told to take 1000mg but then was also told that dose was too high 🤔 I've ran out atm need to order more but curious of the dosage as my naitre supplements have coq10 in them too 🙈

Hey everyone. So sorry for the lack of replies. I have been so busy with work and life, and I have had the most horrendous sickness bug. Finally starting to feel better though!!

Yes this cycle I started CoQ10! I’ve heard good things about it! Hope you’re all well xxx

@Kirsty198511 no worries! Not been active on here. Always ramps up in the TWW though 😂

How is everyone?

Kirsty198511 · 25/08/2025 07:56

@ThatNimbleOPsorry it’s only showing me a notification of your message! So baby aspirin is to help thin the blood. I’m taking 75mg xx

Kirsty198511 · 25/08/2025 07:52

Morning ladies,

I hope you’re all doing well 💕 For those of you who don’t get a BFP this month, are you planning on trying anything new next cycle?

I’ve just started taking baby aspirin — mainly to help with blood flow and support implantation — and I’m also thinking of trying the cough medicine (guaifenesin). I’ll need to look into the best time to take it
Xx

ThatNimbleOP · 22/08/2025 20:35

@Kirsty198511 ive heard this too! Luckily my partner doesn’t indulge in sports anymore 😂 still vapes though which makes me angry!

Also oooh baby aspirin? What’s that for, blood flow!

BabyBorn · 22/08/2025 15:06

I started seeing shadows at 9DPO @NatalieSF and mine looked like this..

BabyBorn · 22/08/2025 15:02

Sorry! It keeps posting my message twice every now and again for some reason! 😖

BabyBorn · 22/08/2025 15:02

Hi ladies,

@MrsOverthinker25 i think I’ve only ever been to South Wales once. I’m always in North Wales! It’s only around 1 hour 40 minutes from us on a good run.

@Kirsty198511 im older too 😬 I had a miscarriage last month and I’m pregnant again this month! To think they say there’s a 5% a month chance! I’m just amazed it’s happened again so quickly!! Hopefully it will be your month soon. I was going to start aspirin for the next cycle if it didn’t happen this month but I’m not going to bother starting it now. I’m 13DPO.

@BabyBorn ooh lush! It looks stunning up there. I’ve never been to north wales but my family have a few times and they loved it. I’ve explored a lot of the south and west wales!

@NatalieSF I see the shadow too! I will keep my fingers crossed for you!!

@Kirsty198511 that’s good to hear. That’s mad about your partner haha, I didn’t know that would affect it either?!

yes I’ve heard of it, it’s called baby aspirin as it’s only a 75mg dose. It’s supposed to help prevent miscarriages too so I’ve heard. You can buy it from Amazon xx

Kirsty198511 · 22/08/2025 10:51

Also she said for ‘mature mums’ 🙄🤣🫣 start taking half an aspirin a day, has anyone heard of that? X

Kirsty198511 · 22/08/2025 10:40

Morning ladies, little update from me 💕
I had my women’s wellness scan and all looked good — ovaries and womb are fine, and she confirmed I’d ovulated from my left ovary 🙌 She said there’s no reason I shouldn’t fall pregnant, which was such a relief to hear after the miscarriage.

Then she asked about my partner… I told her he’s super fit and loves cycling — like a 30+ mile ride is just a “light cycle” to him 🚴‍♂️😂 She said that much cycling isn’t great when TTC, and also mentioned that saunas (which he was in and out of when we went to a spa during my ovulation window 🫣) don’t help either. Basically, his swimmers need less heat exposure!

She suggested we could look into a sperm test, but for now just cutting back on the cycling and saunas might be enough. Honestly, I feel like a bit of a weight’s been lifted because I’ve been worrying it was all down to me — but maybe it’s just a case of him needing to keep things a little cooler 🤣 Fingers crossed! ✨

Oh @NatalieSFI’m sorry. Sending hugs and positive vibes for next month.

NatalieSF · 22/08/2025 09:58

Another BFN for me keep thinking I see a shadow but 99% sure I'm out and just waiting for AF on Sunday

TWW Anyone?
BabyBorn · 22/08/2025 03:27

@MrsOverthinker25 Right by Snowdonia. North Wales. This place is just stunning! Have you been to North Wales?

A gym workout over wine sounds a very sensible decision! Well done to you! X

Awww @NatalieSF & @Kirsty198511 I’m sorry, I hope she doesn’t show her ugly head. It’s so annoying. All this trying and it really baffles me how so many people fall pregnant from one night stands!!

@ThatNimbleOP I hope you have found something? Maybe try starting a thread on here, there has to be a few people that will recommend places!

@BabyBorn I love Wales!! What part are you staying at?

Well I didn’t have any wine like I said I would and today I treated myself to a new pair of converses and a killer 2.5 hour gym session! I am sore. But it’s all good for mental health.. and the converses.. well.. just because I guess 👀 😅

@ThatNimbleOPthank you. I fell pregnant quickly in December but had a miscarriage in Feb. Bled for 9 weeks and July was my 3rd period. I have a follow up appointment at a women’s wellness clinic tomorrow. My first appointment went well and they said everything is looking good. It makes me more frustrated that I’ve not been successful this month knowing everything is ok inside! I am 40 though. I had my daughter at 30 and my son at 27. Fell pregnant quickly with them. Hopefully it’ll happen soon. What about you? x

ThatNimbleOP · 21/08/2025 21:29

@Kirsty198511 sorry to hear that! How many months have you been trying for? Sorry not been following the whole thread
