Starting the TWW - anyone want to join ?

[ReginaPhalange89]

So I think I'm in the tww, had a positive OPK on Monday afternoon and negative since so think I may be 1 or 2 dpo

Not sure we've done enough this month so will be surprised if it does happen .

Anyone want to join me in the wait?

Anyone else charting? I had a spike tofsy which is unusually high for me

Ooh... I have no idea about charting but is this a good sign???

@thejollytrolleydolly oooh that sounds promising if you're having all those symptoms you don't normally have ! Fingers crossed for you !

@mooey89 welcome ! Fingers crossed for your first month !

I don't know how people do this long term. This is only my second month but it's literally so consuming, I forget about everything cd1-10ish then start obsessing over OPKs, then after I ovulate all I can think about is POAS!

Congratulations @hadaley! First bfp on this thread ! Fingers crossed for everyone else, hope this is a lucky month !!

Congratulations Hadley.
I'm trying hard not to symptom spot but I've been having bad stretching pains in my tummy. Plus most probably completely not related but I just burped and threw up! 🤦‍♀️

Can I join ?

2 dpo, cycle 4 ! Trying for baby 1 👶🏼.

Trying not to symptom spot this month, however have already been googling and I know its far too early.. going to be a loooooong two weeks 😂

Congratulations @Hadaley! 🥳

Tested again this morning - nada, white as fresh fallen snow 😒

Still no sign of little red riding hood though 🤷🏽‍♀️

@Hadaley congratulations! Fingers crossed this is a lucky thread! 1st day on OPKs today. Feeling good about this cycle!

Congrats @Hadaley hopefully the first of many! I swear the last tww thread I was active in like 90% of the people got BFP's so let's hope that happens again!
I'm feeling less positive today, but I'm in a generally grumpy mood at work! I've been trying to ignore that the odds are really not in our favour, but today I can't, and it's making me grumpy!! Might POAS tomorrow to make myself feel better!!

Hi all, I had a break from this thread as I thought I was out... but I just had a BFP and can't stop crying!!

I guess I took the first two FRER too early, but approaching my period my cramps were way worse than normal, and I've been super angry, I thought it was just stress and bad PMT! Then my period was two days late and I thought what if...

So excited, got to wait hours til my OH comes home to tell him!

Thank you, everyone! Sending you all BFP vibes!

And congratulations, @LongLegsStarryEyes !

Congrats @longlegs that's such a strong positive! Your making me feel grumpy about my mood! May be it's pre pregnancy moods!!!!

Amazing @LongLegsStarryEyes congratulations. When did you test the first two times and what length are your cycles usually? Xd

Oh @LongLegsStarryEyes, congratulations!! Second one of the day and the group!

I'm not feeling too positive today. 9/10dpo today and tested again this morning (I know, I know...) with an IC. I know it's still early days but I keep hoping for even the lightest line. With every negative I get, I'm convincing myself more that it won't be this month. Still going to hold out until Friday to use my FRER but not very hopeful, and I feel like crap! It really is all-consuming. Hope you're all having a better day!

Congratulations @LongLegsStarryEyes ❤️🥳

Congratulations @Hadaley and @LongLegsStarryEyes fantastic news!

Am I ok join? I had a positive OPK on Friday that was CD22 I have a 35 day cycle. DTD everyday around then but only thing is I have PCOS so I know OPKs don't always work but I do have regular (to the day) periods I've conceived naturally twice, have 1 DD and the last few scans I've had show no cysts? This is my first time actually trying though!

Yay! Congrats @hadaley and @longlegsstarryeyes hoping for an avalanche of BFPs. I am now 5dpo and was woken at around 2:30am by really bad cramps. I saw my OB-GYN this morning as a follow up to my post-op and she said it might've been implantation cramps so to please keep her posted. She was so excited that 8 wks post-op, we might've conceived.

That was supposed to say feel better about my grumpy mood!!! Haha. I thought it was really early pms but maybe it's not!!

You can use your cute Christmas announcements for friends and family now!

Congratulations @LongLegsStarryEyes and @Hadaley! My AF is due a week tomorrow I'm determined not to test until then unless obvs I start bleeding before or on that day then I won't need to. Last month my period started on time but it only lasted one day and was really light but got a BFN the day before that period!!

Congratulations @longlegsstarryeyes! That's great news !
2 bfps already ! Hooray!

I'm not feeling optimistic at all this month. I'm 8dpo now and haven't felt anything at all. Not felt anything that I think could be implantation or anything. Also didn't really feel anything around ovulation time to confirm if I did or not ! So impatient , i wish your next chcle just started straight away of you hadn't conceived! Lol

Yesss!!! @LongLegsStarryEyes! Congratulations! I knew this was going to be a lucky thread

Thanks so much everyone!

My cycles have been weird, I came off the minipill in June and my first three cycles were 25-26 days. Since then they've been 28. I think my app was still trying to average in those weird short cycles maybe? I thought I was testing 10/11 days post ovulation (so CD 22/23) with the First Response, however I think my numbers were wrong and I must have tested too early (or I was in the 1% it doesn't pick up?)

I had had super puffy boobs but they'd gone down and hadn't really felt any other symptoms, I only just twigged that my worse than normal cramps and PMT might be something else, and I thought I was obsessed with symptom spotting!

Have done a second test with much less concentrated urine and got another BFP, feels official!

Baby dust to everyone! #luckythread xxx

Also congrats @hadaley ! Xx

I've just been to the loo and had some really stretchy clear cm.... Any ideas if this is a sign ? Lol. As far as I know I'm 8dpo (CD 24) so I don't imagine it's fertile stuff as I think I've ovulated already ? 🤔
