TWW begins...stop me POAS every day!

[GlamourBear]

Anybody else? I'm on CD16, pretty sure I ovulated over the past day or two, now for the long frustrating wait to POAS! Why is it so hard to resist for 14 measly days?!

We are TTC #2 and this is our first cycle of trying.

Feverbee I am sorry that AF got you too. Fx that 3 is a magic number 🙏

Lottie sounds like your DP is as eager as yourself to conceive. Happy baby dancing 😊 It's great when they become more involved in the planning process. It makes me feel better anyways. I am only CD 2, so ovulation is not for another 12 days or so...16th of October or thereabouts.

Curly I have my fingers crossed for you 🤗 Symptom spotting takes a hold of the best of us. Fx you get a BFP.

Glamour I am over the moon for you. When is your EDD? Please keep in contact with us! We are all so invested in each other's journeys.

Cupcakes I hope things settle down for you. Do what is best for you. I like knowing as not knowing drives me nuts. We all have to find our own happy medium. Of I were you I would log your symtoms, so that it will give you an overall picture month to month. It's also great if you need to discuss anything with your doctor.

@Carastarchild I've been logging everything so far but I find myself googling things about the CD I'm on and every symptom I log, so I think I'm going to try not logging anything, no OPKs or temping either next cycle, and no 'scheduled' sex either. Really want this more than anything too so I need to take the edge off it x

Sorry I disappeared for a few days. Hope you're all ok. Sorry about AF showing up @Carastarchild.

Morning all,

@Curlywurly3 how are you feeling today? I think the sickness is kicking in earlier with this pregnancy but is limited to the first 3 or so hours that I'm up in the morning so far. I'm also constantly hungry already but that may just be my body using the pregnancy as an excuse 😂

@Carastarchild I think mid June of course I won't be going anywhere as I want to see all the bfps as they appear

Hey at @ChikiTIKI how are you?

How is everybody else today? It's Friday yaaaaay!

Happy Friday ladies!

Sorry I've been a bit quiet. I'm 4dpo and been taking a few days to try and relax. Work is a nightmare, so trying to rest and stay calm when I'm not in the office! I've been turning off my phone as soon as I get home and been writing down my temps. I retrospectively added them into my app today and ovulation was detected. Hurrah!

How is everyone? I'll try and catch up on all the messages later today. Sending you all lots of baby dust and positive energy for the weekend 💖

According to FF suddenly updating based on my temps over the last 10 days I an now actually 4DPO. I was using the Ava bracelet app for this cycle and I hadn't realised it's not accurate until you have had a few cycles recorded. So I took all the temps I had recorded there plus my OPK results and updated FF and yep... I'm in the TWW. I ahve irregular cycles and O dates so its always a tricky one to work out.Luckily we did BD day before O and two days before that too so could be in with a chance. I actually feel good because I've been stress free and not thinking like I normally would be during TWW and I'm determined to try stay that way. It would be lovely if it happened now as it means we could announce at Christmas time.

Hey @LondonKez glad to hear you are taking time for yourself to relax! Fx for a bfp soon!

Morning @Pumpkinbee fx also for you! We announced our first pregnancy early/mid December and it was lovely to do it at that time of year not sure we'll be able to this time as all my friends have been showing too early to keep it quiet for many weeks so I'll have to see how I go and may try not to eat too much naughty food! I've never heard of the ava bracelet app is it just a normal fertility app? It sounds more interesting!

Welcome to the TWW @Pumpkinbee!

@GlamourBear apart from my left bb hurting I have no symptoms and I don't feel pg at all! I think the pain is caused by the elevated progesterone we all have between O and AF. I know there's no way of knowing as some people don't get any symptoms but I did have symptons with my two CP's. AF due on Wednesday so only time will tell.

Good to hear from you @LondonKez.. Happy Friday!

Hi @GlamourBear, I'm alright thanks. Exhausted though! Sorry the sickness has come to you already. Good sign that your hormones are doing the right thing though.

My app says my period is due on Wednesday and that I should test on Tuesday. I think it will actually be due a couple of days earlier though. I was going to wait until Sunday (9 days from now) to test so I could do it after family had stayed with us and left. I am now thinking of testing this Sunday... I will be at least 12dpo then but maybe up to 14dpo.

What do you think? Would you do the same? Xxxx

@feverbee We used the conceive plus with both our first and this baby and I know lots of friends who used it and conceived.

I might just be one of those things but In my experience it's helped.

Good luck to everyone ❤️

Keeping everything crossed for you @Curlywurly3! I just didn't feel quite the same which is why I tested when I did no major symptoms. I had sore boobs but I did the previous month too! I also had spotting which had become quite usual for me although a little earlier than usual.

@ChikiTIKI I may be the wrong person to ask as I am a but of a poas addict! However, my very faint positive was around 10/11dpo on an ic and it came up quite clearly on a FRER later that day. So I'd say even at 12dpo you could get a bfp but if it is a bfn it doesn't mean you're out this month as everybody and every pregnancy is different. However exhaustion is a very common early symptom I believe! xx

Thanks @GlamourBear. I was SO TIRED before 8pm last night, I could have gone to bed right then. Managed to stay up until 9pm but it felt like 1am!

Going to buy a couple of tests today. If I am exhausted again tonight (3rd night in a row) and AF hasn't turned up I will take a test tomorrow morning.

Got some signs making me think I am pregnant but others making me assume I am not!!

Hope you have a good day today and that your sickness is not too bad.

Hope everyone on here has a good day! Xxxx

Hope everyone is ok today!

I went to bed before 9pm again last night exhausted! I hope I am pregnant and not just getting more lazy :)

They didn't have any cheap tests in the supermarket yesterday so might try the one near church this morning...scared to take it though incase it's a BFN :(

Any updates @ChikiTIKI? The exhaustion does sound promising!

Good luck @Chikitiki !! I really hope this is your BFP! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

How's everyone getting on? @Curlywurly3 are you also due to test this weekend? My phone won't let me go back to the previous page so I have no idea where we all are!

Hope you're sickness stays limited to the morning @glamourbear, such an exciting time!

Thanks @LondonKez it's not got any worse and is only first thing! How are you?

@ChikiTIKI are you feeling any other symptoms? I'm not feeling anything :( I have all my fingers crossed for you, I really hope it's a BFP xxx

Hey @LondonKez AF is due Wednesday and my birthday is Thursday. If AF doesn't come I'll test on my birthday, that way if it's a BFN I'll still be looking forward to my birthday surprise from my DP! How are you feeling?

How is everyone else?

Nice to see the sun shining after yesterday's wash out!

Hi all! Hope I can join in as well?
I'm 1dpo and already going stir crazy!! This is our first time TTC and first month. Debating to get some cheapies for when I start itching to POAS!

Welcome @Abzi91! You've found a thread of very supportive women!

@glamourbear @Curlywurly3 I'm great thanks, had a very stress free few days. 6dpo and not a symptom in sight... no idea if that's good or bad as it's still super early, but trying not to over think it!

Great plan on testing @Curlywurly3, fingers crossed for an exciting birthday present!

Thanks @LondonKez ! My closest friends aren't going through this, so glad to have found people I can talk about this with

Just had a BFN :( not 100% out of the running this month as the test looked a bit weird. Positive should have shown as 2 parallel lines but I got the control line and then 2 other lines perpendicular to it. They were fairly strong at first but have now nearly totally gone. No positive test line though. I wanted to pee on the other test but my husband told me not to. Going to wait for a while now and see what happens. Nipples sore today and felt a bit sick a couple of times. Can't argue with a bfn though :(

Good luck @Curlywurly my period is due on the same day xxxx

Welcome to the thread and TWW @Abzi91 try not to test to early as it will drive you crazy! We're all here for you to go through the craziness!

@LondonKez I know some people really don't feel anything, I'm hoping I'm one of them this month! I've just woke up from a nap (late night) and I had this sudden urge to test. I will be strong, I will not cave in, I will enjoy the Sunday roast DP is cooking!

@ChikiTIKI sounds like a dodgy test. What brand was it? It could also be early. BFN one day and BFP the next. FX crossed for you Lovely xx

Hope the sickness isn't too bad @GlamourBear x

Thanks @Curlywurly3 I'll try not to cave! When do you all think is usually best to start testing? As close to AF due date as possible?
Hope you enjoy your Sunday roast! Stay strong!

@Curlywurly it was an asda own brand 2 for £3.50 one. I looked in two Morrisons and they didn't have their own brand ones in either! These asda ones appeared to be the same once I opened the foil packet though. White with a purple lid. It said on the box you can use it up to 4 days before missed period so I am not that optimistic about getting a positive in the next few days, I think AF is much more likely :(

I am still feeling really tired though... Can't explain why that is!
