6DPO and going crazy in the TWW... Anyone else ;)

[Penguinepenguins]

Gosh I am going slightly nuts!!

This is my third month TTC after a miscarriage in November, OPK confirmed peak for two days last week and I swear I've been having symptoms yesterday/today - I had symptoms around this time when I was pregnant so am really hoping it's not in my head! And definitely feels different from other months when I've ovulated and AF has come along...

So as I'm sitting here eating my second day's worth of pineapple... Figured it can't harm - I heard chopping it up into five and eating it for five days can help implantation, I started wondering how other ladies are getting on :)

I am also hoping for someone to stop me going crazy! I had a strong word with myself this morning about POAS as other months I've tested randomly only to be disappointed (had a horrible situation last month with a false positive, double checked with two other tests that were BFN) so I guess I'm also a little nervous so will be doing two at the same time (if I last) to 12dpo (who am I kidding I will so be POAS on Friday!)

So who's for joining me :) and if your just lurking and TTC then I wish you good luck!!!

Hie ladies
Am 5dpo and time is moving ever so slowly. No symptom at all and it's scary thinking l will be going into the 10th cycle if I don't get a bfp.

Everything crossed for u penguin hope u are lucky number 3.fx

🎊 congratulations scottish n jo.hope u have happy and healthy pregnancies

Good luck tess and apple

Hi ladies! Just joining here for some sanity
I am 8dpo Cycle #4 and I was so so sure this would be the month but now I have been in bed with a chest infection type thing for two days and I am so bored and sore that I can think of nothing else but testing

[Evergreen15]

I forgot to say I woke up with a fever and now my bbt chart looks weird

[TessWess]

Thanks Mimilicious! I am 4 or 5dpo, so we may be POAS buddies! Although I actually don't tend to test early, usually wait until I'm late, as I just hate the torment of a BFN (you always wonder if you tested too early etc), at least wen AF arrives you can move on and focus on next cycle. 2ww is a killer tho, constantly symptom spotting and wondering 'what if'! When do you plan to test?
Hoping to see BFPs from penguin and apple in the next few days. That would make this a very lucky thread! xx

[TessWess]

Welcome evergreen, sorry to hear you're poorly! When do you think you'll give into the temptation of testing? Has your temp gone right up? I thought falling ill within 2ww was generally a good sign, but who knows! xx

[Mimilicious013]

tess last cycle I never got to poas. Af came earlier (what a bugger). If we can manage to poas at abt 14dpo that being 30/31 March that would be lovely. I use ic so testing early won't work .when do u plan on poas? Fx it's your month.

Hie evergreen.hope u get well soon and a bfp will follow soon after fx

[Evergreen15]

Hi Tess I think that (if I can) I will test on Tuesday or Wednesday morning (AF due on Tuesday but this cycle looks weird so maybe I got it wrong)
Thanks Mimi
How do you distract yourselves ladies?
Being poorly doesnt help as I have to stay in bed

[Apple111]

Hi evergreen and all :) Im really having to distract myself.. Lol she say on mumsnet lol... We are going away next week so I keep packing and unpacking , ive got poorly 2 year old at the min so he keeps me busy x I'm just trying to keep doing something and I'm def not gonna test again for a while, I think I'm roughly 11/ 12 days po and got bfn his am so leaving alone.
Fx for all x BFPs and sticky beans :)

Apple x

[Evergreen15]

Apple you are getting closer. I am 8 dpo and so bored of it already.
Oh well, I think my fever is back so back to sleep

[Apple111]

Hope ur feeling better soon hon tww a nightmare in its own ! I'm sure af on way 😞 but if she shows in next few days it means that we will roughly next be ov whilst we are in majorca ha.. So maybe see if the sun helps haha x fx for all x

[TessWess]

Mimilicious 30th/31st March, it's a POAS date, let's hope we both make it that far and AF doesn't scupper our plans!

[Penguinepenguins]

Welcome new ladies!!!

Sooo... I tested just now and it's faint, oh so very faint but it's there!!!!! I'm not imagining this I can't be imagining an entire second line :) it's also in the spot it should be for a second line to all ear. Have taken a photo and will post a bit later so you can tell me if I am going nuts..

Will test again tomorrow but at 10dpo I am 95% sure that finally can see two lines!!!

[JoMalones]

Hello newbies and thanks for the congrats!

Yay penguins!!!! I knew you would be!!!

[ScottishGirlx]

Hi newbies! Thanks from me for the congratulations too!

Sorry I've not been posting much this weekend. Weekend away with the family has gone well so far with no one really drinking yet so I've not had to make any excuses. Today will be a different story as we are celebrating a big birthday and all going out for a meal... Wish me luck!

Penguine... Woo hoooooo!! Congratulations. I am over the moon. How fab that all three of us got our BFPs. I'm looking forward to seeing the picture of your test

To all those still in the dreaded tww... Good luck and let's hope the luck continues for you ladies!

[TessWess]

What a lucky thread this is, said it in the other post but will congratulate you here too penguin! Let's hope it rubs off on the rest of us! Apple and evergreen getting closer to a result, so sending lots of babydust!!
Mimilicious, there is a thread for Easter weekend testers xx

[Devgal]

It's been lovely to read this thread and see lots of BFP! Well done ladies. I'm
Now 7dpo so going to hold out until Friday to test. From 1dpo I've have cramping on my right hand side like a stitch and been so bloated, but part of me thinks I'm reading in to it too much. What symptoms have any of you had?

[ScottishGirlx]

Hi devgal

Regarding symptoms, I honesty didn't have many which made me think I was out this month. I did have a couple of vivid dreams last week and felt thirsty but that's about it. I began spotting about 6DPO and that lasted about 3 days. I actually cried in the toilet at work as I was so sure this was AF coming to pay me another visit. So I suppose I was also quite emotional!! I also tested with ICs first and they were all BFN. The FRER BFP on 11 DPO came as a complete shock!

Now I'm having regular cramping, slight nausea, more thirst and just feel pregnant!

Haven't tested since fri morning and so I'm excited (and nervous) to do another test tomorrow to see if the line is darker. Before my mc the line got lighter and so I'm terrified of that happening again...

Good luck, not long until you can test!

[Devgal]

Thanks Scottish,

I'm excited to test, but I have irregular cycles so I don't exactly know when AF is due. I've got masses of ic tests, but I think I will just go straight for the FRER instead. I'm not surprised you are so excited!! Are you going to do a digi tomorrow?

[Penguinepenguins]

Thanks Scottish!!!

I can't believe what a lucky thread this has been so glad I started it and looking forward to more and more BFP's!! DP thinks there was a faint line on yesterday's too I'm
Not convinced but im not arguing - double checking tomorrow as my monitor gave a false positive but I think that's beyond rare with an Early R :) so I'm settling in for 9 months in leggings yes I know it is too early for maternity leggings but I miss them

Will drag out laptop later and post the picture but just wanted to say thank you to everyone for the congratulations, it's so nice to be able to talk about it somewhere :) :) and thank you easter weekend ladies :) shall be keeping an eye there I started this thread before I found that one and I thought I was loosing my marbles :)

I had loads of symptoms, very very emotional, strong implantion pain (no spotting) vivid dreams, super thirsty and super super tired... Since Friday so tired had 10 hrs sleep last night currently can hardly keep my eyes open been very annoying Friday night completely off wine, smell made me feel nauseous and pork... Want to vomit just thinking about pork

And finally I became a cat magnet :) my boy cat would not and still will not leave my side which is unlike him as he is very lazy and he stays in one spot constantly making the effort to move occasionally for food... But he is my new BFF

Will be back tomorrow to check who's POAS... Ha ha xx FX

[Penguinepenguins]

Monitor was false positive last month - sorry am falling asleep not making much sense...

[ScottishGirlx]

Hey ladies!

Did the digi when I got home tonight and hooray - good news! Puts me at 4-5 weeks pregnant which ties in with my dates (my apps are saying I'm 4 weeks exactly today). Feeling warm and fuzzy about the whole thing

Also managed to avoid any awkward questions about why I wasn't drinking this weekend so I think I've got away with it for now...

How is everyone tonight? Anyone due to test in the next few days?

Im looking forward to the next BFP of this page. I have a feeling there will be more!

[JoMalones]

penguin what a wonderfully happy post!

scottish I did another digital today (4+1) and got 2-3 too!

[TessWess]

Great news Scottish!! Always nice to see the result on a clear blue!
I'm 7DPO, so an agonising week before I'll test. Still having the vivid dreams and there's been some light cramping since last night, and also a temp dip this morning... heart always sinks when I see a temp drop, but I know it can happen during implantation, so all is not lost, hoping it picks back up tomorrow!
Anyone testing this week?? xx

[Apple111]

Hi ladies , congrats on the BFPs !! Fab news.. Unfortunately af got me yesterday , with a vengeance :( but I'm kind of moving on from it now .. I'm away on holiday this weekend so gonna focus on that now, hopefully be good distraction and maybe sun and bit of relaxation time might help us get lucky :) I will be due od as we come home so I'll have to work my charms on oh haha whilst we are away, wish me luck lol .. If the sun helps Us get bfp I'll update :)
Take care and hope you all have have sticky beans and other ladies get BFPs soon xx
Apple x

[TessWess]

Sorry to hear that Apple. Let's hope a nice relaxing break helps move things along. Not long until the next round of BDing, I usually find the first half of a cycle much easier than the second, so hoping you can enjoy your holiday with your little family.
Evergreen did you test Tuesday or Wednesday in the end??
Mimilicious and Devgal how are you both feeling?
I really don't want to get carried away, but I am feeling very hopeful over here... have been noting all symptoms:

3DPO onwards - vivid dreams
5DPO onwards - falling asleep in front of telly at night (unusual for me)
7DPO - temp drop and light cramping
8DPO - temp back up, cramping subsides. Boobs start to feel heavy and tender
9DPO - random nose bleed and beginnings of acid reflux

The only clear thing I remember when pregnant with DS (before testing) is being hot to the touch (wasn't temping in those days), so I'm waiting for my skin to feel like that again before I really start to feel very excited about a BFP result! I plan to wait to test until I'm late, so probably next Wednesday xx
