Anyone in TWW?

[happybus28]

I am either 6 or 7 dpo today! Feeling fine, managing to keep myself distracted as i have a job interview tomorrow so throwing myself into preparing for that to keep my mind busy! Not really sure getting a new job is a good idea right now with TTC but thats another story! Anyone wanna see out the next week with me?

Mega congrats to those with bfp... so exciting!! Just took a test but bfn at 11dpo... doh!!

[Bearsonstairs]

Congrats to the bfps- so nice to see those lines. Here’s hoping 11dpo is a lucky day!

[MamOfFrankie]

BFN at 12dpo :( gutted, because I was so sure I was in this month. Guess I am just going to have to wait and see if AF dhows on Sunday.

[peterpanwendy]

@MamOfFrankie I’m the same, had a BFN yesterday at 11dpo so not even bothering this morning. Worrying I’m out now and my bodies been playing tricks on me the whole time! Roll on the weekend.

[onefortheroadplease]

BFN here too

[MamOfFrankie]

Fingers crossed it was just too early for all of us. I feel daft now because I usually try not to get my hopes up, but I was so sure it was going to be at least a squinter.

[Bearsonstairs]

Well AF arrived in force this morning at 11dpo. I should be pleased, as this is the first time I’ve had a ‘normal’ luteal phase since starting trying and that’s probably a positive step but of course I’d convinced myself I was preggers at 9dpo so instead I’m massively disappointed!

[ohnonotthemilk]

Sigh not even tried this morning. Gonna wait for AF on Saturday.... another month of trying but a bit wary of next months as would be an August baby ...

[Somethininthewater]

Still none the wiser here... no af, felt sick all night, still cramping like af is imminent and then these tests this morning. Same as yesterday!

[AJ89]

Bfn at 11dpo, fx it’s still too early......

[kjhh]

@peterpanwendy 😩 same.. I couldn’t sworn it was this month too!

[BandhaAid]

I'm 12 dpo today but I have a short L.P. and AF was due on Tuesday. No sign of it and no cramping. Am pretty sure I'm pregnant due to physical changes (lotiony CM, high soft and closed cervix, soft, swollen and padded vaginal walls, sore boobs and what felt like implantation on Saturday at 7 dpo). Got a BFN this morning but as AF is non existent, I'm still hopeful.

[BandhaAid]

I might add that I also had implantation type pains on Tuesday so if it was implantation, I guess it would be too early for a BFP yet. Time will tell.

[BandhaAid]

Temps are also still high

[DaenerysismyQueen]

Ohno are you worried about them being the youngest in the year? I've thought that too but some of the most successful people I know are August babies

[BandhaAid]

I wouldn't be too worried. My son is an August baby and all I wanted was a healthy happy child. I'm a teacher and some summer born children (especially boys) start off lower than their peers but most catch up.

[ohnonotthemilk]

Thanks Daernerys and Banda, that's good to hear, I have a shy early summer born DC1 who sobbed at my leg today in nursery so feeling wobbly about her going to school next year. I don't want to stop TTC so will probably keep trying... fingers crossed for everyone

[onefortheroadplease]

For those checking the cervix, how do you do this and what does it show?

[BandhaAid]

@onefortheroadplease To check your cervix, wash your hands, put one foot up on the edge of the toilet and insert your middle fingers as far as they will go. You will feel something at the top. If the cervix is very high (you can barely reach it), soft and open, it indicates ovulation as it is open to let sperm in.

Just before and during AF, it is low, firm and closed. In between ov and AF, it often varies or is somewhere in between.

It's really important to remember that the cervix can change a lot even in just one day and that everyone's behaves differently.

During pregnancy the cervix is high, very soft and closed but in some women this happens in the first weeks and in others, it takes much longer.

So mine is high, soft and closed right now and has been since just after I ovulated, which is why I'm wondering if I'm pregnant. But it's perfectly possible to be pregnant with a lower cervix that has not yet raised up and softened.

[ohnonotthemilk]

How's everyone doing ? Still no AF here (due yesterday so unusually late) but BFN Friday at at lesser 12 dpo and out of tests !

[DaenerysismyQueen]

BFN at 11 DPO

Just waiting for AF so I can try again. Had no symptoms though so that was a bit of a give away.

[Cupcakesandlove]

Hi, I’m 5dpo however I only have a 10day LP. We only managed to dtd once around the fertile period on the day of my peak. First time tracking. But this month I had really bad ovulation cramps to the point I nearly took painkillers.
Think I’m out but I’ll see clutching at straws.

This is cycle 10

[Cupcakesandlove]

Hi @band have you tested yet?
We’re in a very similar situation, I have a short LP but I’m only 5dpo, my cervix is high I can’t even reach it. I don’t do temping though.
I’ve been having the most vivid dreams however.
When would implantation take place?

[Cupcakesandlove]

Completely rediculous based on how many dpo I am but never mind I’m just going to drive myself mad, but...... I’ve been having this pain on my right side on and off it’s sort of like when you sneeze and it catches you, if that makes sense.
I’ve also been having really vivid dreams and had a migraine the other day which isn’t usual.
I’ve had two cups of coffee today and I usually have decaf tea!!! So to have coffee again is a bit strange, I could sleep for a week I’ve come to my mums for a lay down.
My boobs aren’t particularly hurting though....
Just sending myself crazy as we do!

[MaisyPops]

Another 9 days to go here.
I hate the TWW. I go between not caring (or claiming not to) to being wildly optimisitc and then end up upset at the end of it.
