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.

Ladies I hope you are all well. I have bwen really busy, but you all have been in my thoughts. I was wedding dress shopping with my family. My sister picked her wedding dress today, so there was great excitement.

Fx for you all 🤗

@Carastarchild that sounds like a fun day :) congratulations to your sister! Xxx

Thanks Chiki how are you feeling? How many dpo are you today? I am cd 6. I am on a mission. I am down half a stone from just cutting out chocolate and bread. I am drinking a lot more water. I hope to be down more by Halloween. That's my aim. I put on weight, so I feel great that it's coming off.

I am ok thanks :) I think I am 13 dpo, maximum 15 dpo. I am SO exhausted today, almost delirious! If I am not pregnant then my B12 must be low again or something. Really tempted to test again today but seems too soon as I did it yesterday. Might do it first thing in the morning tomorrow.

That's good that you're working on your fitness :) I like to go on walks every day at lunch time but it's not always a nice experience once the weather turns wintery! Wishing you luck on your health goals Xxx

Hey @ChikiTIKI sounding that exhausted is promising, surely?! I'm 10dpo and AF due Wednesday, as you know. You have a good lutuel phase! Mine is 12 days which I think is the minimum before it's considered too short.
Boobs and nipples feeling tender now but so close to AF. Apart from that there aren't any other symptoms. I guess I don't have to wait too long to find out..

@Carastarchild sounds like you had a lovely day yesterday! Well done on the weight loss! That can only help the situation x

I caved and tested again!! What's wrong with me?!?!

It was another bfn :( I was doing so well being calm and stuff until yesterday. That's my two tests used so next time I go to the supermarket it will be to stock up on sanitary towels or to buy more tests if AF never shows up. I definitely feel like I am pregnant so not sure what's going on really... Probably all in my mind!

Morning @ChikiTIKI some people don't get their BFP until their missed period so don't give up hope just yet. We don't have long to wait to see if AF shows or not xx

Yes you're right. Ive not had much cramping so not really expecting AF to show up in the immediate future. Have had stabbing pains about a week ago but that's it really. Still no AF today so not giving up hope just yet. Might test Thursday morning if no AF tomorrow. Are you testing tomorrow @curlywurly? Good luck! Xxxx

Good luck @chikitiki and @curlywurly3 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@carastarchild excellent stuff with the weight loss and motivation! I have been at my target weight for a while, but can feel it creeping back on and I'm really lacking the motivation to do anything about it 🙊

I'm 8dpo and have never poas (except OPKs!) Bought frers last month and got some cheapies that came with the OPKs. I have absolutely no AF or PG symptoms but am fighting the urge to test! The rational part of me knows its too early and I'd be wasting money! AF due Sunday for me 😬

Thanks @LondonKez fingers crossed for you too!

London and Chiki fx for both of you
🤗 🌟💜 🌟🤗 We are due another few BFP'S 🎉🎉🎉

Am I being very naughty 🙈 I have told DH that I won't ovulate until Friday the 19th.... I actually will ovulate going by other cycles on Tuesday the 16th of October. It's just I noticed that he is showing signs of performance pressure. I always notice that when we dtd at ovulation time it's more of an effort and less enjoyable, whereas before and after everything is perfectly normal and enjoyable. I think he fears it not working and perhaps that is contributing to it not doing so. I have also been drinking a lot more water! Aiming for 2 litres of water a day. I just wonder if it will help me to produce more ewcm

Sorry Curly I meant to mention you as well 🤗💜🎉💜🤗

Hi Ladies,

So AF due tomorrow and I promised myself I wouldn't test early... but I did, today!

I did the FRER and when I saw the line come up come instantly (albeit a faint one) I went to the chemist and bought the CB. I showed the lady in the chemist my FRER and asked if she thought it was postive and she said yes, I cried! The lady said I gave her goosebumps and that she was very happy for me!

Then I did something stupid.. I haven't been temping but this morning I did and it was 36.9.. I've just done it again before bed and now it's 36.4, not a great feeling with AF due tomorrow but I guess I'll have to see.

@ChikiTIKI I've been thinking about you, FX AF doesn't arrive for you tomorrow either.

@Carastarchild I think that's a great plan!!

@LondonKez I didn't really have any PG symptoms this month xx

Congrats @Curlywurly3 ❤️❤️❤️ xxx

Congratulations Curly 🎉🎉 🎉 That's so exciting! I am absolutely delighted for you 💖

Congratulations @Curlywurly3 amazing news!

sorry I've been a bit quiet we've been away for a couple of nights. Now I'm totally out of the loop

How is everybody?

Ahhh!!!! @curlywurly3 What wonderful news to wake up to, just reading your post gave me goosebumps! Congratulations lovely 💐💐💐

Huge congratulations @Curlywurly3! So happy for you!!

@cupcakesandglitter @LondonKez @Carastarchild @GlamourBear @Abzi91 thank you to all of you, it means a lot. It's so nice to share the news as I don't really want to tell anyone yet (although I think I will tell my mum today!) I've just done another test today and the line is much darker and my BBT is 36.8 again. I can't actually believe I'm having this conversation!

I'm 34 tomorrow and this will be my first baby.. gosh that sounds strange!

I wish the same for all of you waiting and I'm not going anywhere, I feel invested in all of your journeys!! Xxxxxxxx

Curly what a wonderful birthday present 💖💜💖

Oh, what a beautiful present @Curlywurly3! Hope you have a lovely birthday 🎉 🎉

Hi girls! I came across your thread at 3am last night whilst on one of my frantic "AM I PREGNANT?!?!?" Google binges... I hope you don't mind me joining, I just need someone to talk to besides the bf because he's way too rational and calm about the whole thing. This is only our second month trying to concieve (TTC? I'm new to all these acronyms but I think I've figured most of them out) and I swore at the start of all this I wouldn't get obsessed and stressy about it all, but that all changed last month when I was 100% certain I was pregnant. My periods have always ran like clock work and are pretty uneventful but last month I had so many symptoms that I've never had before (spotting, weird CM, tugging/aching where my left ovary is, sore and bulging boobs) so the only thing I could think is I must be pregnant! So I kept taking tests praying to see a positive result but then AF came 2 days early and only lasted 3 days (really unusual for me). I was pretty heart broken even though I know how unlikely it is to catch on the first month. I'm thinking it was a chemical pregnancy? Well since then I have become so obsessed with tracking my bbt and trying to pinpoint when I ovulated. I've been using the Ovia app that says I should have ovulated on Monday (8th) and I broke down and have been so emotional the past couple of days because my bf has been so exhausted from work (he's a secondary school maths teacher and those teenage ratbags drain all the life out of him) and we haven't had sex since Sunday morning. But I've just downloaded fertility friend and checked my bbt chart and I think I actually ovulated on Friday or Saturday? We had sex 3 times over Saturday and Sunday so I'm hoping not all is lost. I'm just struggling to stay calm and positive I JUST WANT IT SO BAD :'( so anywho I'm in the TWW stage as you can probably tell by my emotional state 😂 sorry for unloading my whole life story on you guys and sorry if it's TMI but I just needed to speak to people who are going through the same thing. I already feel a little better

🎉🎉🎉🎉congratulations @curly!! Such fantastic news 😊 I’m sorry I’m so out of the loop, moving is no joke 😟😂 how are you all doing? ✨✨✨

Welcome @cloclopops 👋 I was exactly the same as you last cycle except I came on bang on time. I’m on cycle 3 and taking it easy this time round. I haven be opk testing so not sure when I ovulated 🤪 will test if Af is late. I spent so much last month on tests😂😂

However saying all of that, you could be on to something with the symptoms you’ve been having. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you and sending you tones of baby dust ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

@flossytots Thank you! I decided to give myself a little pamper day and pep talk so feeling a little better now 😊 what will be will be, there's no point driving myself insane about it. I'm not really a crazy person I swear 😂 if I've read my bbt chart correctly I think I'm 5 DPO but it's all very confusing. I bought a pack of 20 cheapie one step preggo tests last month and I'm sure I used at least half of them 😳 derermined to show a little more self control this month. Fingers crossed for all of us!
