TWW Anyone?

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

Hiya! Thanks all! 🥰

I hope so @ThatNimbleOPive come away to wales for a few days so won’t be able to test again until Saturday morning 😮‍💨 Im only 12DPO so still such early days!! X

Kirsty198511 · 21/08/2025 14:14

AF is coming for me! I can feel it. Gutted xx

ThatNimbleOP · 21/08/2025 14:04

@BabyBorn BFP still going strong? :)

ThatNimbleOP · 21/08/2025 13:52

Does anyone have any good recommendations for hormone panel testers? i.e better then the ones the NHS give you after 1 year of trying?

I know there's Hertility but wondering if there's an even broader one around?

Thanks ladies! @NatalieSF any news today? 🥰

@Kirsty198511 haha I LOVE ChatGPT! 😅 it’s so good! Fingers crossed for you!

@ThatNimbleOP awww that’s sweet thank you! I’d love that! 😍xx

Still BFN for me 🙃 I feel like I'm most likely out this month. Out of tests and debating if to restock or just wait and see what happens.

@NatalieSF i hear you with AI haha!

ThatNimbleOP · 20/08/2025 13:08

@MrsOverthinker25 sorry to hear you're out! Looks like we're super close in CDs though so happy to hand hold you through next month :)

CD2 for me....let's go!!

Kirsty198511 · 20/08/2025 11:50

@MrsOverthinker25 definitely have a treat!
Chat GPT said I’m due my period around 27th August, I thought it was sooner but after putting in my ovulation dates which the clear blue advanced monitor and digital stick said I ovulated it said 27th. My patience is wearing thin now 🫣 xx

NatalieSF · 20/08/2025 11:35

@MrsOverthinker25im sorry 😔 definitely have a treat day, sending lots of baby dust 🎉

10dpo and another bfp I'm pretty sure I'm out but I'll retest tomorrow. Chat gpt thinks I implanted either Monday or yesterday so it might be too early but I'm not hopeful. AI seems to keep me sane as I just throw all my charts symptoms and questions at it 🤣

MrsOverthinker25 · 20/08/2025 11:19

Didn’t have to wait long.. she’s here 😂 on to the next cycle! Gonna have a date night tonight and treat myself to a nice glass of wine!! Xx

12DPO - negative on a clear blue rapid. I’m counting myself out. Still feel the same and still “feel pregnant” but I’m just driving myself mad testing now! Gonna sit and wait for AF 😒

OP posts:
MrsOverthinker25 · 19/08/2025 21:11

Oh interesting! I will have to get some!

hmmm, I’m not entirely sure, maybe give it a quick google and see if any clinics come back near you? I’m sure they’ll give a breakdown on what they cover! Xx

@MrsOverthinker25 EPO is to increase EWCM. I only get 1-2 days of it vs before I had my first (used to be 4ish) so wondering if it could help…clutching at straws though.

I want to start fertility investigations but don’t even know where to start with second baby. It’s all going to be private right aside from the hormone tests?

MrsOverthinker25 · 19/08/2025 20:38

Kirsty198511 · 19/08/2025 19:42

@babyCongratulations! 👏🏻 And I’m really sorry for those who didn’t have a positive time 💙. I’m holding off testing at the moment as I’m a bit too nervous 🫣. It’s not been very straightforward for me — July was only my 3rd period since my miscarriage in Feb. June’s bleed went on for 11 days, then July’s was only 3 days (from 23rd July) so things are still a bit all over the place. I ovulated around 8/9th August so my period could just be running late. I don’t want the disappointment of seeing a negative. I’m using the Clearblue Advanced Monitor and I think it prompts you when it’s time to test, so I might wait for that xx

Awww I’m sorry to hear that 🤍 it’s understandable holding off, I wish I had your willpower xx

Congratulations @BabyBorn🎉

BFN today at 9dpo for me, I have been awfully crampy today including the random lightnings shock pain in my cervix (That's only what I can explain it🤣) also extremely tired and irritable but I have an under active thyroid so can never be sure what's symptoms of that 🙈
I'll test again tomorrow but I'm not hopeful.

same again for me this evening! I used a FRER this morning and a cheap one not long ago so obvs it was gonna be negative!! Wake me up when I get my BFP please 😂xx

@BabyBorn wow, exciting! Fingers crossed for you ❤️

@BellaQuin yep the testing is so soul destroying…the hope dwindling as the DPO goes up lol.

CD1 for me ladies, period started bang on this morning. At least temping as shown I’ve got at least a 12-13 day luteal phase and I’m ovulating. This month I’m trying evening primrose, cough syrup and drinking grape/pomegranate juice!

Sorry to hear that!! Onto the next 🤍 what is the evening primrose supposed to do again? I do remember watching a video about that before but cannot remember what it’s about ! Xx

I believe that I am today 13DPO but got a BFN. I am really struggling. I am so tired, my boobs hurt, I have mild cramps which seem constant, sense of smell has increased, headaches, nausea on and off, irritable and emotional too.

I have had 3 miscarriages now, the 3rd being end of Feb and ended up being a missed miscarriage and having to have surgery, the first two were chemical. My husband has a 10 year old from previous marriage but I really want my own baby.

I haven't had a period in 2 months so at the end of July I started doing Ovulation kits again and I got a whole 5 days of High before getting peak! That has never happened before! Now I am getting super anxious about not getting a positive.... I haven't had any implantation bleeding yet and I did all the other pregnancies! I am so convinced I am pregnant though!

Anyone else struggling mentally with this waiting for a positive??

Hey! Yes it’s exhausting waiting for an answer! I will keep my fingers crossed for you! X

Morning Ladies, I got a BFP this morning! I am in shock!!

I actually tested yesterday too and thought I saw a very very very faint shadow but wasn’t sure. This morning, they came up without me having to squint!!

I have to try and stay positive now, it will be hard thought after 1 chemical and two miscarriages in 13 months.

Have you tested yet @MrsOverthinker25 xx

Omg congratulations!! How exciting. Good luck I hope everything goes well 🤍

Yes another BFN! Again - slight shadow but I’m gonna get a few tests on my way home and test again!

i normally spot for 2 days prior to my period (which is maybe due tomorrow, my cycles still aren’t 100% after miscarriage but either way it should be this week) no spotting so far and temp went up this morning again.

My boobs feel quite hard! My OH was feeling them and couldn’t get over how full they feel (I’m not blessed on the chest haha I’m a B cup!)

so I’m at a loss to be honest :( I know 11dpo can be quite early still but argghhh :(
