Anyone just starting the TWW..?

Hi all,

Just started the 2WW (I think) as I’m pretty sure I ovulated yesterday/today based on Flo & the bloatedness I’ve had...just wondered if anyone was at the same stage as me and how they were feeling about it all? This is TTC #1 for me xx

sorry @happy, a bfn is always a pain. trying my level best not to test yet

DaisyMay25 · 06/02/2018 12:49

@Mimilicious013 how are you resisting?! My super sensitive tests came today and I've been holding my wee since I started work at 4:30 so I can test when I get home!

DaisyMay25 · 06/02/2018 13:28

I think AF has just arrived, four days early/three weeks late! Not certain as just about of spotting (that's all I got last month) I think I'm out 😞

Pob13 · 06/02/2018 13:33

@daisy dont lose hope until you know for sure.

Mimilicious013 · 06/02/2018 13:47

oh @daisy, I have to second what pob said , don't lose hope until you know for sure. fx it's not like the last months crazy spotting and it is in fact it.

@pob, did you manage to resist poas today?

@daisy, I just make sure l don't have tests in the house lol

Mimilicious013 · 06/02/2018 13:48

*IB

Pob13 · 06/02/2018 14:29

Permission to wobble. I feel so conflicted. Every day is a battle not to poas. I am desperate to have a baby but am so scared after the mc last year. What if I get a bfp but then it happens again. Part of me would rather not know.
Sorry for the negativity.

DaisyMay25 · 06/02/2018 14:32

@Pob13 I completely understand where you're coming from. I'm so desperate to be pregnant again but then I know as soon as I see the two lives I'll just be waiting for it to go wrong again. It's so cruel. Sorry you're having a bad tine with it today, I am too. Fx you get your bfp soon!

Pob13 · 06/02/2018 15:05

@Daisy thank you for your kind words. AF is due in the next couple of days. So far, no symptons of AF or pregnancy, so who knows what is going on in there. I think I will try not to test until AF is late.

Mimilicious013 · 06/02/2018 15:52

lt is rather scary @pob, you would think the tww is the only dreadful bit but the 12ww after the bfp is just as stressful if not worse. sorry for your previous loss dear and fx for a sticky bfp this time

seven201 · 06/02/2018 18:48

((((((Pob13))))))) fingers crossed for you (and everyone else of course).

Sorry to hear you’re feeling low, @Pob, that’s only to be expected though, Hun, so don’t be too hard on yourself. Tomorrow is another day, and I’ll be keeping everything crossed for you. Xxx

I’m feeling confused by the amount of watery clear CM I’m experiencing (sorry TMI)

I read online and lots of people say it can happen before AF, and lots experienced it before BFP, so who knows! I’m pretty sure I don’t usually have this much, but now I’ve logged in on Flo it’s moved my AF due date back again; so confusing! Xx

OP posts:
Pob13 · 06/02/2018 18:57

@happy Im logging cm on Flo too and yesterday it moved my af date a whole week later, which i definitely dont agree with. That would make my cycle 45 days which it has never been. Im going to keep logging it, but not pay too much attention to it at the mo. The apps are great, but at the end of the day they are just computers.

DaisyMay25 · 06/02/2018 19:05

@Pob13 @HappyThoughts7 it's so annoying that they both have similar symptoms! Fx for you both though!
Nothing else has happened since spotting once, I've convinced myself it could be implantation bleeding haha

HappyThoughts7 · 06/02/2018 19:21

Yeah you’re absolutely right, @Pob; I’m pretty confident AF is due tomorrow or Thurs, so I’m working on that basis, and not testing til Fri at the very earliest, Sat if I can wait!

Ahhh @Daisy I’m exactly the same Hun! My spotting was Thurs eve & Fri and nothing since, which is why I’m convinced it had to be IB! So hard not to overthink everything isn’t it?! Xx

I’ve had an epic meltdown at work today. Feel like such an idiot. I suspect it’s pmt. I’m under a lot of pressure but I totally lost all reason and composure. V annoyed.

Hope I’m pregnant so I can look forward to a new chapter. Ho hum.

Anyone testing soon?

HappyThoughts7 · 06/02/2018 19:45

I was exactly the same at work today, @Penny, so I know what you mean! I’d love it to turn out to be pregnancy rather than PMT...all we can do is keep our fingers crossed. Xx

Penny31 · 06/02/2018 19:52

On a whim I did a test. I’d say rather than the recommended 3 minutes this was after 5 or 6. Thoughts?

Anyone just starting the TWW..?
DaisyMay25 · 06/02/2018 19:53

@Penny31 I see a line! I'd test again in the morning but I bet it's positive!! Fx

HappyThoughts7 · 06/02/2018 19:54

Looks good to me, @Penny! Looks like it has colour to it as well! How many DPO are you? Eeek, fx crossed! X

OP posts:
Penny31 · 06/02/2018 19:57

Omg you don’t think I left it too long!? I’ll do another one in the morning. I’m 10dpo

Penny31 · 06/02/2018 19:57

I had a bfn this morning on an ic....wish I hadn’t tested now! I’m confused

DaisyMay25 · 06/02/2018 20:01

@Penny31 it's usually after ten you disregard but even after that if it's got colour it's not an evap line. Test in the morning and let us know, got exciting!

Dragonandthewolf · 06/02/2018 20:28

@Penny that is a good line! But yes retest in morning :)
Btw my lines are better in mid afternoon rather than first urine, probably because I drink loads of water in the evening.

Took a digital test and confirmed as 1-2 weeks, just need to retest next week and hopefully it would have gone to 2-3.
