Hi ladies! Today is 1dpo (I think?) so just heading into the tww. I'm trying for my 2nd and on C2. Anyone want to keep me company? Xx

@FoxyRoxy that's a good idea about ICs. Might see if I can get some on prime to satisfy the need to POAS. Wasted a lot of £££ last month on FRERs 🙄

KimRobs87 · 20/05/2018 19:45

Our bodies are crazy. I've been shattered this weekend (actually fell asleep yesterday afternoon which never happens) and right now I feel exhausted! I even felt sick earlier and I never do but, I'd just played an hours game of netball!! Funny how you'd think nothing of it if you weren't in 2ww. I'm seriously only 4dpo ( I think?) so I probably haven't even gone through implantation yet! Think I might test a week today? X

I've got a work thing on Friday and will be 9dpo so I think I'll test in case I need to not drink, maybe I'll get a frer for then...?
@FoxyRoxy I'm exactly the same! Was in boots today so got a couple of FRERs - good grief I didn't realise how expensive they were Hmm Think stinginess/skintness will curtail my overuse of them rather than my sense!! I'm going to test on Friday and ifbits BFN I'll hold the other one til AF is actually late...probably Grin Good luck to you x

TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong · 20/05/2018 21:17

I've been feeling strangely energetic...well I say energetic-enjoyed keeping on top of housework (washing/drying/ putting away clothes all in one day 😱 literally unheard of!)
I'm completely undecided as to when I'll test...maybe try to wait until AF is late (next Tuesday?) or if I have mega restraint-when I get back from holiday (next Saturday)

haha who am I kidding???! 😂

8DaysAWeek · 20/05/2018 21:23

Well if @starsandstuff and @FoxyRoxy are testing on Friday I don't want to buck the trend!!!

No... must stay strong...

starsandstuff · 20/05/2018 21:25

@8DaysAWeek Grin

KimRobs87 · 20/05/2018 21:42

I'll try my very best to wait until Sunday! @TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong - who are any of us kidding lol x

8DaysAWeek · 20/05/2018 21:45

We are all as bad as each other lol

FoxyRoxy · 20/05/2018 22:32

@starsandstuff they are so expensive in boots! Ok so I'm ordering some off Amazon for Friday, if it's a bfn I'll just take it easy on the wine and test again on Sunday. I'm such a poas addict I did an opk earlier 🙈 someone stop me! @8DaysAWeek I'm sorry if I drag you both down with me haha

starsandstuff · 21/05/2018 13:59

I'm starting to symptom spot even though I know it would be too early (I'm more than likely only 5dpo - i think the 10th would have been too early for ov). Since this morning I've had this weird nipping sensation in my womb (I think) and back that keeps coming and going. Like a sharp stab with a needle - nice! Not actually crampy as such. Also was feeling queasy this morning - but that could be the massive bag of crisps I ate last night! I'm supposed to be back on my SW plan today so I was clearing the cupboards... Grin

KimRobs87 · 21/05/2018 14:44

@starsandstuff - me too! I'm 5dpo today too (I think). Had some cramps yesterday and earlier today. I also felt sick yesterday but think it would because I played netball and the room was boiling! I've also had a lot of tingling going on in the boob area lol (like as I type) xx

OP posts:
TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong · 21/05/2018 19:19

Hi all!
I've been having a few aches pains lower left area. Maybe I'm just sitting funny but I've not noticed it before? Hmm

Had a thought driving home...maybe I will test Friday too 🤣 🤦🏻‍♀️😁

FoxyRoxy · 21/05/2018 19:21

I had some odd cramping early this morning for half an hour or so, I'm also 5dpo. Oh and this morning my chin was covered in spots, about 4 or 5! Had to proper slap on the foundation for work, ugh!

FoxyRoxy · 21/05/2018 19:22

Mass poas on Friday then?

KimRobs87 · 21/05/2018 19:50

You've twisted my arm (like it needed twisting lol!)! I'm still having cramps now and just had some ewcm - what the hell! (Sorry if tmi!). If this isn't my month then I am officially a crazy woman! Xx

OP posts:
TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong · 21/05/2018 19:58

Haha we'll all be testing Friday! Mustn't get disheartened at the BFN though!

I've just had a look back at calendar...we DTD 12 times... 🙈if this month isn't a good one I don't know what will be!! I think we're both secretly pleased fertile window is well and truly gone so we can get to sleep earlier!! 🤣

KimRobs87 · 21/05/2018 20:07

Haha I know what you mean. We haven't done it since and I think we're both a little relieved x

Frizzy1986 · 21/05/2018 20:09

What do people share with their other half? I was determined not to symptom spot, but obvs I've failed at poss 7-8dpo (occasional boob twinges which are too early for af which is the only time I get them as mine swell at that time.)
Anyway, I genuinely don't think we are pg this time, but do you tell the other half about how you feel, changes, symptoms etc. Seems strange that I will track the cycles, monitor the symptoms and really all he has to do is sex when I ask and wait for me to tell him when it's positive.
Do you take them fully along for the ride?

TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong · 21/05/2018 20:17

I know what you mean @Frizzy1986 they just literally need to show up! I only tell my OH if something is majorly odd, I won't bother him with the twinges etc, don't want him to think I'm too mad or get too hopeful. I can just about cope with the disappointment atm but if he was getting excited by symptoms for nothing, I think that would be hard 😕

KimRobs87 · 21/05/2018 20:28

@TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong @Frizzy1986 - I know what you mean. I share some of what I'm going through with dh. He's loads more chilled out than me at this kind of thing and often tells me to 'chill out, it'll happen' - not good enough! 😂

OP posts:
Frizzy1986 · 21/05/2018 20:32

thetittifers I think I cruelly want him to have to go through it. The full experience 😂 He won't get the pain of childbirth, the being naked in front of strangers (although that was weirdly not something that worried me last time) I want to give him what I can

TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong · 21/05/2018 20:48

@Frizzy1986 ha true! I was worried about having legs akimbo to a stranger pre-baby, but once I was in that birthing suite I was pretty much "have a look!" to anyone!! 😁

TheTittifersHaveSungTheirSong · 21/05/2018 20:49

Also a very "sharing is caring" approach...maybe I will adopt it!

Frizzy1986 · 21/05/2018 20:57

Yes tittifers I stripped naked within 2 minutes of entering the room.

Fredthespider · 21/05/2018 20:57

I'm nearly half way through the TWW, 6DPO based on the clear blue peak. I promised OH that I wouldn't POAS until 12DPO which will be next Monday. It's a bank holiday so I won't be heading to work afterwards otherwise I think I'd convince the OH to go on the Sunday. It's my first TWW so a bit scary!
