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

@BabyBorn sorry to hear about your miscarriage too. Hope you’re doing okay x

ThatNimbleOP · 18/08/2025 21:59

@BlossomZara and congratulations! Must feel amazing after one year x

ThatNimbleOP · 18/08/2025 21:56

@BlossomZara so funny, was just reading about the mucinex stuff. Was going to try next cycle!

@BabyBorn we stopped about 1.5 ago so some point in July…can’t remember exact date. No signs of a positive test yet. My temp dropped today but no AF either just cramps. Fully expecting it tomorrow though…I bought the Oura ring for temping and it’s great! Still cosleeping too so it solves that problem.

NatalieSF · 18/08/2025 20:26

@Readytotryagain no symptoms but Im quite crampy today so wondering if it's implanting 🤞🏼 Im hoping to use my cheap premom tests and then the early if I see anything but I'll probably go straight to the early I know what I'm like 🤣

@BlossomZaracongratulations 🎉

@MrsOverthinker25good luck for testing 🤞🏼

MrsOverthinker25 · 18/08/2025 20:05

Thank you @BabyBorn !! Let me know how you get on too! I am keeping everything crossed for you!

i tested 10dpo on my last pregnancy. I thought it was an evap line and didn’t think anything else of it. We only had sex once during my fertile window, so I thought the chances were slim at even getting pregnant but I tested a week later and there was no denying the line! 😂

Good luck for tomorrows testing @MrsOverthinker25 i will be testing too. Let us know how it goes!!

I somehow missed your post @BlossomZara Congratulations! How many DPO are you?

MrsOverthinker25 · 18/08/2025 19:56

I did test today, BFN! Although I swear I could see a shadow of something but I binned it and will retest either tomorrow or Wednesday.

@BlossomZara congratulations! I also took the cough syrup this month! I also took it during December into January as I had a throat infection and I ended up conceiving!

my BBT is weird this month, it’s still very up and down, few dips below coverline, then back up, then back down! It’s really annoying. The only time I have ever had up and down temps, is when I was pregnant! My boobs are still hurting and I had a few cramps again today but not for long!

I already feel like I’m out but I’m clinging onto the fact my boobs have been hurting/feel swollen and the fact I’ve had cramps on and off since 5dpo, which is unusual for me!

this is torture! Xx

It’s crazy how many people use the BBT method! I can’t because my sleep is terrible. I co sleep with my little one and she wakes me a fair few times in the night fidgeting! How accurate is it? Xx

BlossomZara · 18/08/2025 18:33

I’ve just come to the end of my tww with a bfp!! We’ve been ttc for 1 year so I’ve defo become an expert of my cycles so thought I’d share what I noticed, though I know everyone is different.

cm more sparse than af cycles - usually get ewcm like cm around 4 days before af but this time it stayed thicker and drier. Stomach upset around 10dpo. stitch like pains today (around 14/15dpo) before testing.

I also tried the municex cough syrup theory for the first time during ovulation this time… could be massive coincidence but perhaps worth a try!!!! Hopefully some of you in your tww will be joining me soon x

Readytotryagain · 18/08/2025 18:21

I’m either 9 or 10. From what I’ve read I think the temp dips could possibly be implantation? I know tomorrow is still early days for me to test too but I feel like just one test will scratch the itch for me 🤣 unless I wake up and my bbt has dropped again il know I’m out. I’m working till 10pm and it’s going to take all my will to not test when I get home. Have you had any other symptoms? I’m trying to not pay attention to things. I’ve just pinched my boob and thought yep that deffo hurts and had to have a word with myself Xx

NatalieSF · 18/08/2025 17:57

Readytotryagain · 18/08/2025 17:45

Funny day for me. My bbt dropped below cover line yesterday but today has gone back up and that’s the first time that’s happened in my 3 years of temping. Normally drops for 2 days then AF. Also I don’t feel any indication AF is actually coming. I actually feel really good. Caved and order some cheap tests and thinking if bbt is still going up tomorrow il test then Xx

Edited

@MrsOverthinker25thank you ♥️ did you test?

@Readytotryagainwhat dpo are you? BBT dropped for me yesterday and today it's the same hoping it rises tomorrow 🙈 I'm sitting on borderline cover line but hasn't gone under yet. I bought a boots early test that I'm trying not use as I know it's too early 🤣

Hi all! Hope everyone is ok today!

Yes @ThatNimbleOPme too! I stopped BFing my 3 year old the first week of July! When did you stop? I had a miscarriage last month but trying to be positive for this next month! What been happening with you? Xx

ThatNimbleOP · 18/08/2025 08:48

Hey @BabyBorn!!

Yes I started the TTC whilst breastfeeding - cycle 4 group 😆

Now I’m not breastfeeding and on cycle 11!! First one without the boob…still no luck. Temp just dropped so reckon I’m out!

How are you! Xx

MrsOverthinker25 · 18/08/2025 00:08

Hey! So sorry. I have just got into bed from finishing work and I’m exhausted!

@NatalieSF that’s so sad, I’m sorry to hear that!

I have PCOS so I take inositol, zinc, omega 3 fish oil, folic acid and B12 and then before bed I take magnesium glycinate with my chamomile tea to help me sleep 😂!! It is annoying rembering to make it everyday though!

I plan on testing maybe tomorrow as I will be 10dpo, but I’m not feeling very hopeful. If I didn’t have swollen boobs and cramping on and off since 5dpo, I’d say I was definitely out already! But we shall see.

I hope you’re all doing okay, one day closer to finding out if we are getting those BFP’s this month ladies 🤍

Hey @ThatNimbleOP i recognise you off an old thread but not sure which one?! Hope you are well!

11DPO is still very early. Especially because we don’t know when we actually implanted!

ThatNimbleOP · 17/08/2025 17:36

Hi ladies!

11DPO here and tested negative this morning (easy@home tests which have rubbish evaporation lines FYI).

Most likely out of BFN now?

BabyBorn · 17/08/2025 14:30

Wow, I can’t even imagine. I’m so sorry. Hope you’ve healed a little for this next journey 😘

Yeah I started changing my diet around 5 weeks ago. Don’t have anything processed now. Only the occasional sour dough. We’ve decided to try for around 6 months. x

NatalieSF · 17/08/2025 11:59

BabyBorn · 17/08/2025 11:36

Hi @NatalieSF Oh my, I am so sorry for the loss of your baby girl. That must have been the hardest thing in the world to have to go through 😔

I am 8DPO and did a cheeky test this morning and it was a BFN! 😆😩 I have never got a postive earlier than 10DPO.

Im taking Methylfolate, high strength Vitamin D3, Vitamin E, Omega 3, and Ubiquinol which is a purer and expensive version of COQ-10 😩🥴 I am eating a really clean diet too. x

Thank you, unfortunately I had a placenta abruption and she didn't make it 😔 It was definitely one of the hardest moments of my life.

Its the ubiquinol one I take too along side the naitre supplements. I haven't really changed my diet but I know I probably should 🙈

NatalieSF · 17/08/2025 11:26

So sorry for everyone who's suffered loss. I lost my daughter at 34 weeks in February. Its truly heartbreaking.

@MrsOverthinker25going to start testing tomorrow at 8dpo although I don't expect to see any type of line until Wednesday if my bfp is coming.

What supplements is everyone taking? I'm on naitre and coq10 but I'm terrible at remembering to take them 🤣

BabyBorn · 17/08/2025 11:07

Hi @Kirsty198511 buy the one step pregnancy tests from Amazon. They are really cheap and I usually buy the pack of 50!! 😂😂😂

Yes nothing can prepare you for the shock of a miscarriage can it. So sad. Obviously they happen for a reason, most often than not because the chromosomes are not right. 😔

How old are your other children? X

Kirsty198511 · 17/08/2025 07:30

oh I’m so glad I find this thread 💕 yeah the miscarriage was really sad and I was so shocked, having to babies prior it just didn’t enter my mind that It’ll happen to me. I’m remaining hopeful though.
9 DPO today and have twinges and boobs hurt - but this is what I had last month and my bloody period came (a day before my 40th birthday 🫣🫣🫣) so we shall see. I’ve spent so much money on pregnancy tests I’m going to get to wait till next weekend if my period doesn’t come before then.

Acupuncture sounds a great, I’ve never had it done before! x

BabyBorn · 17/08/2025 07:10

@MrsOverthinker25 aawww so sorry to hear about your loss! 😘 Soul destroying isn’t it.

Acupuncture shouldn’t be painful no, once these needles are in i find it really relaxing and feel a weird energy sensation! It’s definitely worth a go if you can find someone with excellent reviews in your area.

I plan on testing on Tuesday when I will be 10DPO. I’ve really been looking after myself this month. Remembering to take all my supplements and eating really clean.

Hope it happens for all of us soon! x
