Hey all
My tww starts again today. 4th cycle. Just had 2 full days of positive opks and lots of bd with dh.

So let the crazy symptom spotting begin and the madness that is the tww.

Anyone else in the tww - hoping to hear lots of bfp stories xx

Hi hopeful

I'm slightly ahead as af was due Saturday, but am interested to hear others symptom spotting so hope it's ok I've joined?

I've been having period like cramps since last Sunday ( so 9 days now) but no af yet. Thought for sure I'd wake up with her today.
My only other symptom (or lack of) is that my breasts don't hurt as they normally do before af.
POAS though and it's negative, so she'll probably turn up later!

loopylou1984 · 28/10/2014 07:00

What are your symptoms, if any?

Its not over until af arrives sam. Sometimes can take longer for it to show on a test. Keeping fingers crossed for you xx

Thanks hopefull Smile
I hate this waiting part!

Joey0805 · 28/10/2014 09:28

I'm also a bit ahead, 6 DPO today...zero symptoms and going to do my best not to POAS until Sunday at the earliest.

Joey0805 · 28/10/2014 09:28

The waiting is sooooo boring!

MaGratgarlik1983 · 28/10/2014 09:34

5-6 dpo here and symptoms: crampy (really bad cramps yesterday morning but they just went and now just cramping a little bit on and off like dull aches), sore throat, runny nose, hot, a bit dizzy, emotional, sore bbs. The most noticable and odd symtoms tbh is the cramping. Going to try and hold out til next week to test! FX for us all!!

Joey0805 · 28/10/2014 12:04

Magrat - I am going to try and hold off until 14 DPO so next Weds, let's see if we can make it til next week!!

Well 2dpo so obviously I'm not going to be having any symptoms yet. Just keep thinking .... I wonder if we have done it this month? :)

Hi sam. This is cycle 4 for baby number 3. Took me 6 months with dd and 12 months with ds

loopylou1984 · 29/10/2014 12:21

That's reassuring hopeful as the is month 12 for us and we're on the verge if seeing a specialist. Were you 2 natural pregnancies?
I'm still waiting for af...

MaGratgarlik1983 · 29/10/2014 12:38

Cycle 4 over here for #1. 6-7 dpo. Although I now seem to have a cough so wonder if my hotness and dizzy spells yesterday are more due to that! Still, who knows. I know we DTD around ov so it's out of our hands now I guess. Trying not to worry or obsess but it's so hard isn't it.

Aprilray · 29/10/2014 13:28

Hello, can I join? I am on cycle 11 ttc #1, really did not think it would take this long!!
Was trying to take the laid back approach this month but in the last few days I have become slightly very!! obsessive. If I oved around the same time I did last month then I am around 5 dpo. Have had some very mild cramping and lower back pain which I am trying to convince myself isn't like my pre-AF symptoms.
DTD 4 times around ov time and tried soft cups for the first time - FX!

loopylou1984 · 29/10/2014 17:28

Magrat it's sooo hard. I'm having an especially tough time as the girl I sit next to at work has just told me she's pregnant! I just want it to happen for me too!

Hi April
I'm on cycle 12 ttc, I didn't believe it would take this long either.
I'm currently on cycle day 32 (have only ever had 1 cycle this long before) but bfn this morning.

Fx for you!

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 29/10/2014 21:10

Can I join you ladies tomorrow? Pos opk today so assume ov tomorrow then in the tww... Cycle 2 for número uno here. Lots of bd this month though, 5 times so far will throw in another just to be safe. Fx!

Hi wanttobe sounds like your due af around the same time as me. Let's hope it's bfp for us all :) x

MaGratgarlik1983 · 29/10/2014 21:27

Temperature and chills today although I do have sore throat and snuffles so could well be just a bug! Peeing lots more but then again drinking lots due to sore throat so...! Just had quite an odd pain to the left of belly button - like a pinching but in a line. Sore bbs and bullet nipples (sorry tmi) and some white-ish cm (again, sorry tmi!!) 6 or 7 dpo today I think. Still feel tired and dizzy but hard to tell if related to cold or not!

Joey0805 · 29/10/2014 21:40

I have a horrible feeling AF is round the corner: I've got cramps and am in a FOUL mood (not because of the cramps! I am always in a filthy mood pre AF). Gutting because it'll mean I'm not preggo bit also I'm only on 7DPO so it would mean a super short luteal phase. Keep your fx it stays away...

MaGratgarlik1983 · 29/10/2014 22:08

That'd be really early for AF Joey...FX it's the other thing...!!

hc899 · 29/10/2014 22:30

Hi everyone. I'm playing the waiting game too, although this is only cycle 1 for me. Did some clear blue ovulation tests during weekend just gone and got a peak fertility smile on sat, and have been feeling mildly sick every day since sun. Surely that's too early for symptoms though? ! Period due 11th Nov so a while to wait yet unfortunately.
