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

@MrsOverthinker25 i have got the faintest of lines this evening on my one step cheapies and a FRER!! They are both faint and obviously it’s evening of 8DPO so very early but there’s something there….

was testing negative earlier today. Oh god please be it!!

How exciting! Good luck for testing again over the next few days 🤞🏼✨

Hi @SantiagoSister and @TheUniqueMember welcome!! Feel free to be crazy with us.

@MrsOverthinker25 and I are old buddies at this point 🤣

@MrsOverthinker25 you should 100% go private if you can, NHS are useless for anything fertility. Seen as a privilege not an illness unfortunately…

Aw thank you. 7DPO testing negative as expected…8-10DPO, the biggies coming up from tomorrow! How about you today?

MrsOverthinker25 · 11/06/2026 21:59

@SantiagoSister yes of course, the more the merrier! :) fingers crossed for you! 🥰 x

@TheUniqueMember thank you! You too! ☺️xx

Hi all, do you mind if I join please? I’m 4 DPO in my first cycle of trying for No.2. Wishing you all lots of luck!

MrsOverthinker25 · 11/06/2026 21:12

@ThatNimbleOP hmm I’d say over 2 years ago now! It’s hit and miss really, sometimes I’ll spot 13dpo, sometimes it’s 10dpo, 11dpo. It’s really really reallyyy light. Even now it’s only when I wipe and it’s the tiniest amount, every cloud and all that lol!
I haven’t had a single scan, my doctor didn’t feel the need to when I was first diagnosed, he only took bloods and confirmed it that way along with my symptoms. I do feel as though private is the way forward as looking back, I think I was fobbed off massively!

Well you’re one more day closer to finding out!! Super excited for you. I have a really good feeling for you on this cycle 🥰🥰

@TheUniqueMember welcome :)

Hi there! 😊 good luck, baby dust ✨️

Roll on the end of the month. That's when I'm going to remove my patch and hope for the best. They say that it can take a while to have a period but fertility can come back straight anyway so I'll be testing with opks and temperature and see how we go 🥰

ThatNimbleOP · 10/06/2026 16:41

@MrsOverthinker25 oh fair enough! When did you come off the pill? Perhaps hormones are restabilising. Have you had bloods etc. Have you had an ultrasound, are you ovaries definitely polysystic?

I know! Thanks...it's also the hormones and taking progesterone suppositories so i know that can make things amplified. I hate 7-11DPO, such a stressful few days haha.

MrsOverthinker25 · 10/06/2026 14:44

@ThatNimbleOP thank you! 🥰 I will spot for like 2-3 days, only when I wipe and then come 14dpo, it’ll be in full swing, never used to happen pre-pill! Just like I didn’t have PCOS pre pill! So frustrating! 🙄🙄

Awww please don’t get upset, you’re still a few days off confirming yours ❤️ all will be okay. It is disheartening though, it just gets you down doesn’t it. But what will be, will be. I pray this is your month xx

ThatNimbleOP · 10/06/2026 13:56

@MrsOverthinker25 oh love! Sorry to hear that....how long is your luteal, that sounds quite short if you start spotting 10DPO?

It's so shit isn't it...i'm already on verge of tears, just feel like this cycles a fail before it's even finished. Think it's PTSD from all the failed 2WWs!

Hugs to you xx

MrsOverthinker25 · 10/06/2026 12:46

@ThatNimbleOP I would deffo say indents! Just started spotting light pink blood, which is normal for me pre period xx

OP posts:
MrsOverthinker25 · 10/06/2026 11:06

@ThatNimbleOP exciting!! You’re almost there 🥰

I did. Same shadow again? Today I’m 10dpo, so annoying! You can literally see it on the test it’s so confusing but it literally is a shadow! I would say they are indents possibly, even though it came up straight away 🤷‍♀️ it’s not exactly got colour to it has it !! Xx

@MrsOverthinker25 gave you tested this morning?

I have and BFN obviously as 6DPO but I’m entering the “possibility” zone now of peak craziness!!!

Keep me in the loop xx

MrsOverthinker25 · 09/06/2026 21:24

@ThatNimbleOP that’s a very good idea 🤣 it’s awful that we have second guess if it’s the tests, so cruel when they give misleading results!

haha yes they are easy at home! Ignore me 🤣 it’s because I got them through premom as they offer discount when you go through them on Amazon etc! I did test again about an hour ago, still a shadow the same as earlier 🤔 I’m tempted to dip one in water tbh! It’s weird, I can’t see colour, it’s just a shadow looking line, but not like an indent?! Tbh I’m surprise my camera even picked up the line but it was more noticeable in person (tiny bit)

Hahaha! Not sad at allll! Gold standard ones sounds lovely 🤭 I hope this week flies by for you! Xx

OP posts:
ThatNimbleOP · 09/06/2026 17:42

I also bought the gold standard FRERs off of Amazon…so I’m leaving that till sat/sunday. That’s how sad my life is, I’m really excited at trying a new test. What have we become!!

ThatNimbleOP · 09/06/2026 17:41

@MrsOverthinker25!! I know, it’s nice to have a sense of humour with it all 🤣🤣

My 1DPO theory was to see how indents looked on my one step cheapies, I figured if I could see a line then then it’s the tests not a baby haha! So hopefully it’ll help this month with the line eyes…

Oh I thought they were easy@home! Yeah those ones do dry a bit grey. I think if there’s any colour in it you’ve got a good chance? Have you tested again?

MrsOverthinker25 · 09/06/2026 13:29

@ThatNimbleOP thank god it’s not just me 🤣🤣 I know the pre mom ones do naturally have an indent but this is visible when looking at it, where as with the indents I find you can only see it from certain angles? 🤔 but both tests looked like that, not going to get my hopes up 🤣

Oh yay, no we aren’t far off each other at all! God it’s such a god send coming on here and chatting with you! You crack me up, 1dpo 🤣 I love it!

Yes will deffo keep you posted! Let’s hope this month is our month! Xx

OP posts:
ThatNimbleOP · 09/06/2026 13:14

@MrsOverthinker25 i see it!! 9DPO still early, hopefully it’ll be clearer tomorrow? No, feel free to post here. I started testing 1DPO this month so I’ve definitely lost the plot, it’s official. Although now I’ve said I’m waiting till 10DPO with a FRER as the analysing is unbearable!!

Im 5DPO so we’re not too far off each other!! Keep me in the loop and yeah, if this doesn’t work, seriously think about Letrozole…seems good 😊

Best of luck and please update me tomorrow!! Xx

MrsOverthinker25 · 09/06/2026 12:56

Hey @ThatNimbleOP that’s really sweet, thank you very much! Likewise. Always here for you!

definitely will avoid GP surgery then as they are certainly useless.

oh my, that is such fab news! Really happy for you 🤍 it’s amazing what a bit of medication can do!! Really rooting for you this month, please keep me posted! How exciting!

all good my end thank you! I am 9dpo, this is probs the first month since TTC that I haven’t had sore nips in my TWW! Odd cramp here and there and shooting pain in my boob but nothing! Took two tests this morning (LOL 😅 knobhead I know) and there is the faintest of shadows on there that came up straight away. But it is veryyy very faint. I refuse to show my partner because he will say “where” and humble me 🤣🤣 it’s probs nothing but it did catch my eye xx

ThatNimbleOP · 05/06/2026 11:20

@MrsOverthinker25, i had a fertility scan on Tues and they told me i had 3 potential mature follicles (21mm, 15mm and 14mm). They recommended cancelling the cycle but we've tried anyway, willing to take the risk of multiples (also not like we're super fertile). Just wanted to update seeing as i only had one mature egg last month!! You should totally try letrozole, really hoping it's upped our chances this month...

How are you getting on?

ThatNimbleOP · 31/05/2026 23:02

MrsOverthinker25 · 30/05/2026 17:06

When I called my doctors they told me to come in for bloods, they also said they wouldn’t be able to prescribe letrozole and that it would need to be given by a fertility clinic? They said my partners sperm will probs need testing too! I said the issue is with me, I know I can get pregnant I just need to regulate my ovulation! It was like banging my head against a brick wall!!
also, I was spending a fortune on Inositol but this time I tried MyOva and it turns out you’re supposed to take 4 tablets, the others I was using, you only needed 2 and the dose was low so probs wouldn’t have worked great anyway! But I haven’t even finished the bottle and I’ve ovulated so I’ll buy them again :)

Awww I know :( it’s so annoying hearing people get lucky 1st time! Which happened to me to be fair but that was before even began properly trying.. off ONE bit of sex yet you BD 15 times and nothing? 🤣 makes no sense!

Well I am excited for you! I really hope everything goes to plan, it will happen for you, I know it will.

thank you :) will do! Likewise xx

Yes Letrozole would be from the fertility clinic, just avoid the GP at all costs! They’re useless…I would speak to a clinic and also get partners sperm tested, if anything it’ll be peace of mind or something you need to take action on. Either way I’m here to support in whatever way you need! I love this thread…I always forget about it then remember in times of need, it’s lovely.

Thank you so much. CD9 and waiting to ovulate, think she’s brewing! I had an 18mm follicle on CD11 last month so really hoping it’s similar this month and I’ll ovulate CD13/14 on the Letrozole 😃

Keep me in the loop and good luck!! May the best egg win haha.
