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

@MrsOverthinker25really well thank you. Over 16 weeks now and I have a private scan booked for Wednesday. Not that I’m particularly worried about anything, I suppose it’s just for peace of mind 😁

MrsOverthinker25 · 11/01/2026 22:22

@Kirsty198511 thank you! ❤️ hope you are doing okay! Xx

@MrsOverthinker25oh no, sorry to hear you’re still ill. Glad you’re ok with soy isoflavones and upping the amount - everything crossed for you xx

MrsOverthinker25 · 11/01/2026 21:40

@Kirsty198511 it’s mad isn’t it as when you’re ill, you’d think the last thing your body would do, is get pregnant 🤣

@ThatNimbleOP that is true! It will happen when it’s supposed to, I do tell myself this (when I’m not crying about it!) 🤣

im still ill, over 3 weeks now. I cannot shift this chest infection and blocked nose, it’s awful. Started spotting yesterday and it’s increased slightly today so my period will no doubt be here tomorrow! 😖

i plan on upping my dose of soy isoflavones this cycle as I started off on a low amount just to see how my body reacted to it, but all has been fine!

Hope you ladies and bumps are doing okay! Xx

@MrsOverthinker25I said to my other half yesterday that it was a year ago that I found out I was pregnant, we were both really poorly with flu at the time. I have my fingers and toes crossed for you!

@ThatNimbleOPoh bless you, touch wood I’ve passed the sickness stage at 15 weeks, although I have been off work over Christmas and no school runs so haven’t been rushing around, come Tuesday next week when we are back to routine that’ll be interesting to see how I am.

really hope you’re ok and not too sick. Good sign though.

The children took it really well. Very shocked at first but then within 10 minutes I had hours of them coming up with baby names 🤣🤣

Hey @Kirsty198511 sorry haven’t checked this in a while! Merry Christmas 🤶

All good here, 6wks1day and everything appears okay but it’s that strange time where anything could happen. Exciting to hear you’re telling the siblings!!

@MrsOverthinker25 bonne chance to you! Fingers crossed 🤞 I really thought it would never happen for us but I’ve got a little more faith in our bodies again. These babies will come when they’re good and ready. Stay strong 💪

edit

Thought I’d escaped morning sickness but it’s hit me like a brick last couple of days. Currently in bed after sleeping for 2 hours 🤢

@MrsOverthinker25 oh no, sorry to hear you’re been poorly! Hope you’re feeling better now. That’s brilliant you’re getting night OPK’s 🤞🏻 everything is crosssd for you. Christmas was so lovely thank you, I had to wear lots of baggy jumpers as I’m staying to show. Telling the kids today they have a sibling on the way!! 😬 xx

I’m slowly getting there thank you :) and yes I was so worried being ill would throw off my ovulation. It feels weird as this time last year I was just as ill and ended up getting pregnant, I don’t imagine I’ll be as lucky this time, but I’m praying!

omg how exciting!! I bet they will be over the moon 😍😍 let us know their reactions, what a lovely surprise xx

@ThatNimbleOP amazing news!! Healthy and happy pregnancy wishes for both you and @NatalieSF 🥹❤️

I have developed a chest infection since being here! My temp is sky high today which will be annoying when it comes to temping etc. Half tempted to scrap the opks’s and temping and just relax over the festive period! Xx

Kirsty198511 · 21/12/2025 14:23

Ahh congratulations @ThatNimbleOPlovely news xx

ThatNimbleOP · 21/12/2025 14:19

@NatalieSF its just more anxiety so no need to keep testing haha. Which is ironic as when I wasn’t pregnant all I kept doing was testing!

Aw that must be so wonderful but hard as well. As @MrsOverthinker25 said another little girl from your angel baby. 👶 I can’t imagine how that feels. Wish you all the best ❤️

@MrsOverthinker25 i think it was fairly conclusive but nice to have the evidence! So glad to finally have a positive after 14 long months 😩

MrsOverthinker25 · 21/12/2025 13:48

Thank you @NatalieSF it’s lovely here!!

omg @ThatNimbleOP I have just came on here to chase you for an update as I knew it would be good news haha!! Love this for you. A Christmas miracle 🤍🤍 congratulations!!

@NatalieSF awww how lovely! Another princess sent from your angel baby!! 🤍🤍

@ThatNimbleOP the first few weeks are the worst. I felt mine dragged so much. I was the same as soon as I had my digital I stopped with the tests and then the nausea hit so that was all the confirmation I needed 🤣

I'm doing ok, still struggling with the nausea funnily enough and extremely exhausted but surviving. I had my gender scan Friday and we're having a other girl which I'm delighted about but also very mixed feelings after losing my daughter in February 🙈

ThatNimbleOP · 21/12/2025 11:17

@NatalieSF thank you! Got confirmed 2-3 weeks on digital as well which aligns.

Yes I know I started googling about dye stealers then wondered if mine should be. I’m putting the tests down now and enjoying Christmas!

How are you all holding up?

NatalieSF · 21/12/2025 11:16

ThatNimbleOP · 21/12/2025 09:28

Hey everyone!

I promised I’d update you ☺️

Pleased to say we have a positive - yay! I’m 18DPO, now the worry starts if the lines dark enough 🤣 Second morning urine think it’s looking okay. Nice and clear!

Congratulations 🎉 try not to stress about the lines half the time it doesn't mean much 🥰

TWW Anyone?
TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne · 18/12/2025 18:27

@ThatNimbleOP we always had sex every day from cycle day 12 - 15.

ThatNimbleOP · 18/12/2025 15:59

@MrsOverthinker25!! Well I’ve never been late in my life bar my daughter and I guess Saturday was a positive test hence why I’m on my haunches a little lol. Oh 10DPO exciting, does it ever help to just DTD every other day or too stressful? Ovulation tests do take the guesswork and honestly temping was a game changer for me. It really taught me I was ovulating a day or two after ovulation pain!

I stopped temping after Tuesday as it was adding to the anxiety!

@NatalieSF haha! I know, sorry to drag it out. It’s a mixture of wanting to be certain and just being too much of a darn coward. I didn’t think I was Saturday so had the balls to test 🤣

S**ts getting real now!

NatalieSF · 18/12/2025 15:25

@ThatNimbleOPi've been lurking eagerly waiting for you to test 🤣 I have high hopes for this cycle ♥️🤞🏼

@Kirsty198511Glad your energy is picking up! I wish I could say the same 🤣 still absolutely exhausted

@MrsOverthinker25I hope the soy isoflavones helps with regulation 🤞🏼 Enjoy your trip!

MrsOverthinker25 · 18/12/2025 15:03

ThatNimbleOP · 18/12/2025 10:02

@MrsOverthinker25 thanks for checking in! Well still no period, was due on Tuesday but I’ve still not tested haha 😛

Im too scared! My luteal phase is normally 12 days (confirmed by temping 4 months in a row) so I am officially 2 days late as I’m on 15DPO but I’m giving it until I’m totally totally out of the clear this weekend.

So sorry no updates yet!

How are you getting on? ❤️

Awww bless you! Is your temp still elevated? Oooh I have a good feeling about this cycle for you, you know 🤞❤️

all okay my end, cycle day 10 for me and currently in the airport waiting to leave for Budapest so I’m armed with ovulation tests just incase 🤣 I am back Tuesday but brought them just incase ! Xx

ThatNimbleOP · 15/12/2025 13:34

@MrsOverthinker25 of course! I can totally imagine....really hope it goes well.

I've had some dizziness, pulling, cramping etc. on my right side where i ovulated but kind of feels same as PMS. More tired.

I've been disappointed SO much....just cannot get excited. Just remembering the facts. 3 positive tests 10DPO (although faint), minute brown spotting and a temp raise. If it's not a baby then it's been a cruel month aha.

So sorry for the delay! Any update your end? Hope you’re doing okay xx
