Hi ladies,

I have been TTC for four months now. I actually didn't realise how stressful this whole experience is. I shouldn't have expected for it to happen straight away but i'm so impatient.

Anyway, would love to see who else is out there to join me on my TWW. I used CB ovulation tests this month and dtd the day before ovulation. I had an HSG last month and my tubes are all clear so that's good to know.

I am only about 2dpo. Obviously no symptoms the only thing worth mentioning is I have been getting these weird gurgling/popping noises in my stomach. It's SO strange I've never had this before. Maybe it's because I'm drinking lots of pineapple juice which I never normally do, who knows! What are you all doing to keep yourself occupied and not obsessing over this tww?!

I've booked my first acupuncture session this Friday so hopefully that will help de-stress me! Good luck to you all, would love to hear your stories x

Hi !
I'm in the TWW now but honestly I'm not going to be much help because I'm about 9dpo and losing the plot 🙈 stupidly started testing at 6dpo because I have no self control lol. Today one I'm sure there's a line but I'm not sure if it's evap or not. Only time will tell I guess ! The wait is truly awful!

sav89 · 16/10/2018 16:02

Hey ReginaPhalange89 - random question but are we the same age? just thinking due to our username numbers lol

Great news about a possible line! Did you do a first response test? Have you got any symptoms or are you trying not to read into things?

Just a few more days to go for you, hang in there Smile

I am on 10dpo and losing my mind a bit.

Today I am symptom spotting like mad, i have a tingly womb (dont laugh lol) and as the day goes on my boobs have started getting a bit sore and they feel hot, I've started feeling bloated.

Of course these are all symptoms of AF too so who am I kidding.

I WANT to test tonight, and tomorrow. But I am waiting til 12dpo on Thursday as i know it will be a lot more reliable. I use progesterone pessaries due to recurrent miscarriage so I have to know before AF is due whether to stop them or not, other wise I would attempt to wait til Saturday when AF is due.

ReginaPhalange89 · 16/10/2018 16:40

@sav89 haha yes must be, 89 is my birth year ;) I'll be 30 at the beginning of next year!

I haven't yet, it's so faint that I'm not sure if it's just maybe an evap like so I'll hold off a few days ! Funny enough I am in a FB group and I searched old posts for last time I was ttc and I had a super faint like on 9dpo same as today ! And i got a proper line 2 days later ! I'll keep using my cheap tears over the next few days and once I think it's a real line I'll get a frer to confirm !

Will this be your first baby?

sav89 · 16/10/2018 17:13

ReginaPhalange89 Haha me too! The big 30 next year, let's hope we will have two things to celebrate Smile

Yeah this will be my first. I had a m/c a few years ago and never had a pregnancy scare since so I really hoping it happens for me soon.

I'm guessing from your previous FB post this is your second one? How long have you been ttc this time?

sav89 · 16/10/2018 17:14

Hey whiteonesugar

If you are 10dpo and have a tingly womb I'd be hopeful too! Don't think that is an AF symptom! How long have you been ttc? Did you use ovulation tests? Only two days to go for you though...FX

Hi I'm about 6 days past ovulation and ever since have had sore boobs. Really unsure about how to count days past ovulation as been using clear blue fertility monitor and got my first peak reading on Monday 8th of October. This two week wait is going to drag! X

ReginaPhalange89 · 16/10/2018 17:46

@sav89 it'll actually be my 3rd ! Lol. I fell pregnant with my eldest (a surprise) when I was 22 and on the pill! my second daughther is 18 months, i fell pregnant with her first month trying ! So I'm hoping it'll be as easy again this time but I know it doesn't mean it will be.

Sorry to hear about your m/c, fingers crossed for you this time !

whiteonesugar · 16/10/2018 18:01

@sav89 we’ve not been TTC long, but I had a miscarriage last month and have had 5 in total, 3 before my DS and 2 since having him.

Yea I use ov tests as I’m on progesterone so need to know when to start. Kinda takes all the fun out of it tbh but hey ho!

ashers89 · 16/10/2018 19:37

Hey Lauraliverpool

I think if it's anything like the clearblue digital test I use I think you ovulate about 12-24 hours after you get the peak so yeah you would be 6dpo and I'm only 1DPO!
Sore boobs is good sign. When are you going to test?

ashers89 · 16/10/2018 19:44

ReginaPhalange89

Aww that's amazing! Sounds like you could be the first bfp in this thread lol Smile fx for u

ashers89 · 16/10/2018 19:56

whiteonesugar so sorry to hear that I'm sure things will work out for you this time! What test are you going to use?
I think il use frer to test in about a week... I'm so impatient Blush

Lauraliverpool · 16/10/2018 20:42

@ashers89 we b'd on both peak days and a couple of high days too. I'm not sure when to test as my periods have been up and down since my MMC in June. When are you planning to test? Xx

whiteonesugar · 16/10/2018 21:01

Well fuck me.

I caved in and tested and there’s only a second line!!! It’s a definite squinter but it’s there for sure.

Christ alive.

I’ll re test tomorrow to be sure as im only 10dpo

whiteonesugar · 16/10/2018 21:03

Oh and here’s a pic

Whaaaay! @whiteonesugar that looks promising when will you tear again,

Can I join in looking for some buddies, I am TTC no1 been trying for 3 months but only this month used clear blue ov kit. Currently on cycle day 25 and 11dpo. Got a wet feeling for the past 4 days expecting af yesterday, nothing as of yet, nervous to test as normal have a 23/24 day cycle so waiting out until weekend, has anyone had this wet feeling before, all clear with a pink spot on Saturday just gone

whiteonesugar · 16/10/2018 22:00

Thanks! Probably every day for the next couple of weeks by my track record 🙈

ReginaPhalange89 · 16/10/2018 22:18

Congratulations @whiteonesugar! That's a pretty clear line for 10dpo!

I'm 10dpo tomorrow and really hoping for a line 🙈

sav89 · 17/10/2018 10:41

Sorry ladies I couldn't log in on my account so I used my old one (ashers89) incase you were all confused!

OMG whiteonesugar I can see the line!!!! Congrats!!!!

OP posts:
whiteonesugar · 17/10/2018 10:46

I did an FRER this morning - 11dpo. Decent line, I am a bit scared but trying not to get over invested...!

sav89 · 17/10/2018 10:48

Hey TwinkleDay welcome. This is my fourth month ttc and first month using CB ov test. Let's hope they have helped get us our BFP.

The pink spot sounds like a possible implantation bleed?! You could probably test today but maybe waiting until the weekend is a good idea to be more confident in the result. I really hate this waiting game!

Have you got any other symptoms? Sore boobs etc?

OP posts:
whiteonesugar · 17/10/2018 10:49

11dpo FRER x

Two week wait - help keep me sane!
sav89 · 17/10/2018 10:57

Lauraliverpool Sorry for replying on my old account (Ashers89) i couldn't log in on my phone last night!

Anyway, sounds like you are in for a good chance this month. I think the very earliest I can test will be next Wednesday if I use FRER but I should really wait until next weekend Confused feels so long away!

sav89 · 17/10/2018 10:59
