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

Hey there all, hope you dont mind me jumping on!

Pretty sure I'm ovulating today! +OPK yesterday and classic ovulation shooting pains today.

Been TTC#2 for 12 months this cycle so really really really hope this is the one! Feeling super positive and have my million HPTs at the ready

ReginaPhalange89 · 18/10/2018 19:19

@Twittlebee fingers crossed this is the month for you !

APositiveMind · 18/10/2018 20:20

@ReginaPhalange89 I'm also a dental nurse Currently 14dpo, waiting to test tomorrow morning 😬

ReginaPhalange89 · 18/10/2018 20:39

@APositiveMind oooh have you tested at all yet or where you waiting to see if AF showed up? Good luck !

I'm 11dpo and had no lines so far, so disheartening. I have everything crossed it's just going to be a late bfp but more likely we haven't been lucky this time !

APositiveMind · 18/10/2018 20:47

@ReginaPhalange89
I tested on Monday and had a very very faint positive on a clear blue. But all cheapie tests after I'm pretty sure have been negative, so waiting until at least the day af is due to test again as my heart is starting to drop 

TwinkleDay · 18/10/2018 20:52

I haven’t felt like this since I was waiting to see if the offer on the house was accepted... had to wait 1 weekend though rather than weeks. Jesus Christ.

APositiveMind · 18/10/2018 21:01

@TwinkleDay me either!

I edited a photo of a test I took yesterday. I know I broke it open and it's a day old so probably doesn't count. But what do we all think?

@TwinkleDay congratulations! Those lines are approved strong , how many dpo?

I've just tested and nothing ☹️ think I'm out , feels like AF might appear today 12dpo

ReginaPhalange89 · 19/10/2018 07:05

Approved strong ? Lol 🤔 I meant really strong !

EvieV28 · 19/10/2018 08:08

Congrats @TwinkleDay !!!

PinkBlue1985 · 19/10/2018 09:01

@TwinkleDay CONGRATS!!!!!

Bring on more BFPS please!

EvieV28 · 19/10/2018 09:12

Does anyone else get spots on their chin/jaw in the TWW? I'm only 5dpo and also have cramps, think I'm getting an early AF this month 😔

sav89 · 19/10/2018 09:36

TwinkleDay Congrats!! So excited to see these BFP's in this thread!

PinkBlue1985 lol! Good idea, i'm going to see how I get on next week but the earliest I'm going to allow myself to test will be 9DPO but will try for longer.

EvieV28 I actually have a few and I don't normally get them. Not sure what that's all about!

TwittleBee Welcome! GL for this month hope the tww goes nice and quick for you, keep up posted.

ReginaPhalange89 Any sign of AF? Tell her she isn't welcome!!

@sav89 its so tempting I'm 8DPO, yesterday I felt ill in the morning a bit of nausea and stabbing pain lower right side. Lastnight I was so ill!!! temperature, back aches, leg aches and hot hot flashes I couldn't sleep! Woke up my partner a few times! I had a spot of orange yesterday at work, just hope its not my AF coming early. It can be symptoms of pregnancy but not convinced until I test, I feel better today but still feel run down.

PinkBlue1985 · 19/10/2018 10:50

I have cramps still, praying its not AF!!!!

sav89 · 19/10/2018 10:53

PinkBlue1985 omg it really sounds good. I know you don't want to get your hopes up but these could all be symptoms. I have read that a lot of women have become ill in their tww before getting BFP so stay positive!

OP posts:
PinkBlue1985 · 19/10/2018 10:59

@sav89 fingers crossed!

do not test before 10DPO I made this mistake last 2 times and was disappointed! Just try to contain yourself until day 10 at least!

ReginaPhalange89 · 19/10/2018 11:09

@sav89 not yet! Today is CD28, but my cycles have been between 28-30 days so not sure what day I'm expecting her ! Lol
12dpo today - test still negative. I've had quite a lot of cramping today so I think I'm out this month tbh :( the witch is probably on her way ! So sad, I'd really got my hopes up that we'd be really lucky and get pregnant first try again! Was a bit silly wasn't it lol

ReginaPhalange89 · 19/10/2018 11:22

Also have lower back pain which I'm not sure about, can't remember if I've had that before when AF is due 🙈

ReginaPhalange89 · 19/10/2018 12:24

Ended up doing another that with smu... Anyone see the line I'm seeing ? I accidentally broke it so took it out 🙈 but o swear I could see a line before I opened it up
