Anyone just starting the tww?

[Bas27]

Hi all!
Either 1dpo or on ovulation day here! Been trying smep this month but hoping for a few lovely ladies to go through the tww with!
Age: 26
Ttc: #1
Cycle #2

[Charlotte1x]

Well I definitely see a line there, I bet if you do another in a few days it will have gotten darker! Congrats to you! 💐

I’m ok thanks, only around 7-8DPO. It’s all that’s on my mind at the moment with it being first cycle! I have some cramping pains but I always get period type pains quite a while before I’m due anyway.

How many cycles have you been trying if you don’t mind me asking? Xx

[Mumplanner]

Thank you Charlotte 😊
This is my first cycle too - so if this is positive then I’m incredibly lucky.
I’ve been experiencing some cramping too but for me it’s felt slightly different than my usual AF cramps - slightly more generalised around my whole lower torso and also aching kidneys - normally for me it is much more localised in my lower tummy.
I’ve done about 15 tests before that have all come up negative (a combination of ClearBlue early tests and Sainsbury’s ones) but I still felt like I could be so I went out and got a First Response one today as they are meant to be the best.
I will be keeping everything crossed that this will be the month for both of us 🤞🏻 Xx

[Charlotte1x]

@Mumplanner how amazing, my fingers are crossed for you! Did the line come up straight away? It’s not a squinter, definitely there!
I’ve been getting cramps but for some reason mine have been in my lower back which I don’t usually get...definitely period pain type cramps though! So because mine are slightly different too I’m keeping my fingers crossed but trying not to get too hopeful xx

[Mumplanner]

@Charlotte1x - it’s so hard - I’ve no idea how people just ‘casually’ try and don’t even realise they’re pregnant for a few weeks! I’ve been telling myself not to get my hopes up, but secretly my hopes have been very much up - every twinge and thing that happens seems like it could be a symptom.
The line did show up straight away. I know you said you’d bought a few different tests - this one was a FRER (I’ve done 2 now and both are showing up faint lines). The clearblue ones are still coming up negative

[Charlotte1x]

@Mumplanner haha I don’t get it either, people getting pregnant from one night stands, how?! Lol.

Ahh right I bet you’re just fairly early on, do a digital in a few days and I bet you’ll get a positive test. So happy for you, bet it’s such a great feeling!

I’ve got very bad back pain tonight! Could well be AF on her way but my pain is usually in my front and not my back. Really trying not to get my hopes up.

I have 2 FRERs in the cupboard but trying to hold out until my period due date (a week today) but I bet I’ll cave in sooner! Xx

[2018isanewyear]

Pretty sure this isn't my month.... spots, cramps and just generally don't feel pregnant 🙄 although I don't remember feeling pregnant last time I felt tired and sick and at the moment I feel completely normal!

Never thought I would be desperate to feel so unwell 😂

[Bas27]

Wow! Tentative congrats @mumplanner!
How many dpo are you @2018isanewyear? You're not out until the red witch arrives.

I'm on a mere 5dpo and already arguing with myself about when to test.
If this month doesn't pan out then I'm taking a month off next month. Going to a festival and it would be a nice consolation prize to able to let loose. A BFP would be way better though...

[TrevorJ]

@Baz27 I've just ordered myself a lovely case of wine as a consultation prize. Really trying not to test till Saturday!

[MaisyPops]

I'm on cycle 23 now or something like that. Keeping everything crossed ladies.

I've got 4 days left of tww

[Charlotte1x]

Got my fingers crossed for everyone! X

[Bas27]

@trevorj I have talked myself into testing on Saturday too. Will be 10dpo and using frer. What about you?

@maisypops - everything crossed for you!

[Mumplanner]

Keeping everything crossed for everyone’s FRER’s. a big weekend ahead!

[TrevorJ]

I'm just going to use the internet cheapies until AF is due, just to satisfy my need tbh. Will use a FRER come Monday or Tuesday. I'll be 9 or 10 too. 10 since positive OPK but probs 9 dpo.

[Charlotte1x]

@TrevorJ I am also going a FRER on Monday. If AF hasn’t already arrived, I’m getting some pains so feels like she isn’t far away 😟

[2018isanewyear]

@Bas27 not 100% sure as I don't use OPK yet but have 4 different apps running, since the MC the app I was using went crazy with dates as I couldn't put in that I had been pregnant so it's took it a while to get back to a normal cycle hence the crazy number of apps. According to them tomorrow-Saturday my period should arrive.

I think I will test Friday as if it is positive I have a hotel that needs to be cancelled and that's the last day to do it 😂

[tollie00]

@Mumplanner congrats!!

I caved today (9dpo) and did a test and got the biggest of fattest of BFNs but it was really just so that I could get some bloody work done today instead of symptom spotting/googling! I think at 9dpo it's 50/50 accurate so I'm feeling pretty neutral. Also is our first month ttc and DP is overly confident of his fertility skills (he's 43, he has a son from a previous relationship whom he conceived first month but that was 10 years ago) so at least a BFN would give him a reality check!

Fingers crossed for you all xx

[TheMagicTorch]

@Bas27 Think I'm going to test Friday, I'll be around 12dpo - I wasn't going to test early this month, but I've decided I'll want to know if we have another chemical.

[Charlotte1x]

Hi all - thought I’d check in for the day. I’m now around 8 DPO. Got lots of cramps and boobs are starting to feel a bit heavy. I haven’t got my hopes up at all because I’d usually get these symptoms around this time anyway as AF starts to approach.

Only thing different is that a lot of the cramps are in my lower back/top of my bum, particularly on the right hand side, and the pain is quite sharp sometimes. Maybe I do get these type of pains and just haven’t noticed before?! Who knows. So hard not to symptom spot.

I convinced myself this morning that my coffee tasted weird but I think that was because I had brushed my teeth not long prior 🤣 x

[Mumplanner]

Evening Charlotte. These days couldn’t go slower if they tried!
It’s so hard to know if you’re feeling different things or it’s just you’re more aware of every little thing and you just haven’t noticed it happening before. I’ve seen a few times that implantation cramps feel like a pulling sensation of that helps at all?
I can confirm that coffee after toothpaste is a bit gross though.
I’m now on day 27 of my cycle - I wish I knew how many DPO! Now I wish I’d left the testing longer because I’m only convincing myself that it’s a chemical pregnancy - I can’t win! 😂 x

[TheMagicTorch]

Agree with @mumplanner -these days are so slow.
I've ordered some FRER from Amazon so probably test Thursday morning (11dpo). Have you done any more tests @mumplanner?x

[Mumplanner]

@TheMagicTorch - I did two FRER's yesterday which is what I had - managed to not go and get any today but I imagine I probably will get another two tomorrow to test again and see if the line is getting stronger.
I downloaded a few new apps yesterday to amuse myself with (pregnancy ones). There's a fun one called Baby Names which is sort of like tinder for names and it tells you if you and your partner match on one x

[Mumplanner]

This is my second test from yesterday

[MrsT1983]

Congratulations @Mumplanner! That’s a very clear line you've got there!
I’m now about 8dpo, got a really faint line yesterday on an IC but think it was probably an evap as I noticed it a while after and this morning’s test was negative. It is still pretty early though so not counting myself out yet! I’ve also been having some stomach and back cramps, sore boobs, weeing a lot and i’m really exhausted last few days, but that could just be down to af being due and the heat, who knows!

[TheMagicTorch]

@mumplanner that's another good line! 🤞

[2018isanewyear]

I think I'm out had cramps all day and now blood when I wipe will be expecting AF to be in full force tomorrow.

Good luck to those still waiting and congrats to thought with BFP already
