TWW begins today, anyone want to join me?

I think my 2WW begins today. We haven't been properly tracking ovulation, came off the pill 4 months ago and cycles have settled into 33 days so I'm basing dates and ovulation on that. If I'm right ovulation would be today.

I'm not sure we have DTD enough but hoping so, we DTD Wednesday, Thursday and today so fingers crossed.

Anyone else in a similar boat?

I'm 31 and TTC number 1.

I'm also 9dpo and thinking of testing tomorrow. I am experience some cramping today. Hmmmm

mayoli · 28/05/2017 20:06

Ooooh congratulations double ! Hope that line gets darker :)
I've got some weird cramping that feels a bit like period pains but not quite. Also had some spotting today and AF is never early so hopefully it's implantation spotting.
Icloud54, if you early test, good luck!

Wish I'd seen this thread straight away, I've been going crazy symptom spotting! AF due today so the wait should be over but had BFNs Thurs and Fri, but no AF either... getting more tests tomorrow! Super heavy, painful boobs, but I had that before my last period so still no clue...
Congratulations Double and fingers crossed for everyone else!

OvariesBeforeBrovaries · 28/05/2017 21:47

Congratulations double. My cycle doesn't usually affect my boobs but right now they are so tender and uncomfortable! I need to stop symptom spotting!

happybus28 · 28/05/2017 22:06

Anyone else had any EWCM in your TWW? Currently at the end of 7dpo and just had quite a bit of EWCM?? Never had any at this point in my cycle before so not sure if it means anything? I'm panicking now that I didn't ovulate when I think I did?? Or could it be a symptom?

mayoli · 28/05/2017 22:06

Before I had my first TWW I remember saying 'oh I'll never symptom spot, it's so unhealthy!' ha ha ha ha ha. If only I knew how nervewracking the TWW really is!

OhMyGodBecky · 28/05/2017 22:07

I'm 16 dpo today so it's day 31 for me. In the history of my periods I have never been this late. I got some spotting 6dpo and 9dpo but so far I've done an internet cheap test yesterday (10 for £1!) and a clear blue digital today mid afternoon and both BFN.

I'm so bloody excited, I can't stop thinking what if...? I've got another digital to do first thing tomorrow but apparently they aren't that sensitive? I'm 39 ttc no1

OhMyGodBecky · 28/05/2017 22:08

Sorry posted too early - good luck everyone!

juneybean · 28/05/2017 22:10

I think im in my TWW my opk weren't conclusive and my temperature has gone up slightly.

We are using a donor at home so had three shots this week so hoping we got the egg!

Triskaidekaphilia · 28/05/2017 22:32

Same mayoli and then the minute we started ttc I was like 'The cat is giving me slightly more attention! It's a sign!' Blush

mayoli · 28/05/2017 22:34

Good luck with the digital tomorrow becky !!!
Oh my goodness juney I'm using a known donor at home too! Good to see I'm not the only one here going down that route. Good luck :)
Trisk hahahahaha yep. Relatable.

juneybean · 28/05/2017 23:25

Ooh that's awesome mayoli how did you get on with getting it inside? I never understand the whole let it liquefy thing...

mayoli · 28/05/2017 23:42

@juneybean are you using sperm donation or egg donation sorry? I'm guessing you mean sperm!
I used a softcup and found it relatively easy- popped the cup inside for a few hours, took it out and all the sperm had gone, and there was no leakage (yay!). So I'm hoping all was ok!

LilSnooze · 29/05/2017 05:39

5/6dpo here... No symptoms except insomnia and some bloating... The wait is killing me...

OhMyGodBecky · 29/05/2017 06:40

Another BFN from the clearblue digital but still no AF! My back is aching but not in a AF-due kind of way but other than that I have no symptoms of anything. Argh!

juneybean · 29/05/2017 09:01

Haha yes sperm! Ahh see I tended to wait like five minutes then sucked it into a 10ml syringe and popped that inside and then waited for them to get warm again before slowly pushing down on the syringe. I had a soft cup that I put in afterwards.

mayoli · 29/05/2017 09:10

I couldn't work out how to use the syringe so I just went straight for the mooncup but if this cycle fails I'll stock up on syringes. How many donations did you have this cycle?

Sunshinesaz86 · 29/05/2017 09:17

So exciting that there's lots of potential symptoms going on.

I just did a huge post but i pressed something with my sausage fingers and it's gone! 😡

Can u try a frer becky?? They're supposed to be more sensitive.

lil I have no symptoms either I couldn't feel any less pregnant I'm so convinced I'm not I went out and got so drunk last night. Bloating was one of my first symptoms with DS but I defo get it before AF too!

trisk cats are supppsed to have some random 6th sense for these things.

happy and ovaries I hope your boobs and cm are positive changes for you and you get your BFP's!

Good luck juney and mayo.

juneybean · 29/05/2017 10:24

mayoli I had him come day 11 and 13 but then still hadn't had my surge so asked him to come on Saturday morning (day 16) so no idea if I managed as fertility friend plotted ovulation as day 15 even though I didn't get a surge til very late on Friday night so I dunno whats going on.

How many did you do?

Good luck to everyone else - sorry realise I've hijacked somewhat but don't often come across someone in the same position.

mayoli · 29/05/2017 10:36

I had one on day 14, had two very strong lines that afternoon so it was pretty last minute but I'm hoping it went ok!

Haha yep sorry guys for hijacking a bit, @juneybean feel free to PM instead!

Good luck, keeping my fingers crossed for everyone here!

OhMyGodBecky · 29/05/2017 14:11

I'm going to get one on my way home from work tonight Sunshine and try it tomorrow. My lower belly feels weird. Like cramping - sort of - but nothing like I usually get pre AF. It's so weird. I am swinging wildly between being certain I'm pregnant to completely positive this is in fact the menopause (I'm 39)

mayoli · 29/05/2017 15:02

Aaaahhhhhh good luck @Becky!!

Icloud54 · 29/05/2017 15:28

I think I got a really faint BFP

Icloud54 · 29/05/2017 15:37

What do you all think?

TWW begins today, anyone want to join me?
OhMyGodBecky · 29/05/2017 15:38
