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?

@mrsof20118 I think I’m 10/11 dpo. Had a static smiley last Saturday, so guess I ovulated on Sunday.

Would just love a conclusive test on a proper one to be sure.

I'm getting stabbing pains in my lower right abdomen. Have done for 2 days. Is that the sign of anything?

I think im like 2 dpo but got mega sore nipples and stabbing like cramps in my left and occasionly my right lower abdomen x

Can I ask what internet cheapes can someone buy that are somewhat reliable? I think I will go bankrupt with clear blue...

Sammi and Emma Louise I get that with ovulation, have you used OPK’s?
I got a positive OPK on Tuesday eve, had cramps in my right side and then Weds had really bad pain in right side and cramping, positive OPK and then today no pain and neg OPK so definitely ov pain.

Hello!
I am new to this and feel that I need the luck this thread seems to bringing! TTC #1 since August. CD 21 and expecting AF on Tuesday. Been feeling crampier than usual this month but no sore boobs or other early signs. Had a busy month so couldn't track O but took FRER tonight and a BFN. Will test again Sunday morning but not holding out much hope! I can't stand this waiting, so desperate for a BFP!! Congrats to those who got theirs and good luck to all those still waiting!!

@stroan that looks a lot more positive than mine! I've done a few of those cheapies and not the faintest mark on them! Tried a pharmacy "early" test today and thought there was a line within the 5 mins but after it seemed to disappear! 🤷🏽‍♀️ I'm due on Monday so you would think I would have at least a faint line now 😓

@mrsmargot I just use the 'one step' test strips, I get them on Amazon or eBay, usually get about 30 for £3ish!

I tried the one step ones in the actual case last month and had evaps with all of them! So I'd never use those again

Thank you very much @ReginaPhalange89 ! Just ordered them! Still on the Tww but I somehow think we were not lucky this month. 😩

More brown spotting for me this morning when I wiped. Keep waiting for af to come out in full force x

I'm completely new to this!
Getting a little confused with all the abbreviations, but 1 day since ovulation & I know this wait is going to drive me
Insane 🙈! Z

m symptom spotting like crazy so im roughly 3 days dpo my nipples are so soar I have had cramps on and off all day yesterday and last night I noticed the veins in my breasts are quite noticeable also my cervix feels high and closed. Could these be anything or am I going mad here x

I used to get sore boobs during ovulation, with my first pregnancy they didn't stop being sore I found out I was pregnant after 6 weeks. With my second pregnancy I only got to 12 weeks but my boobs weren't really sore they were a bit tender at night when I took my bra off - so don't worry if you don't have sore boobs guys symptoms are different for everyone. First time I had no morning sickness second time I had all day sickness!

@Jessicawilliams21

Cd- cycle day, tww- two week wait, af- Aunt Flo (period) ds/dd- dear son/daughter. OH- other half, ic- internet cheapie, ewcm- egg white cervical mucus, bd/dtd- bed down/did the deed. Frer- first response preg test, bfn/bfp- big fat negative/positive. Those should demystify most of the convos for you xx

@thejollytrolleydolly THANK YOUUU!!!!!
That will help loads.... I'm hoping I'll just put it to one side for a couple of weeks but that's highly unlikely! 😊😊

After a really faint line on an IC yesterday afternoon, I was hoping for a better result on a boots 5 day early test. I can still see a really faint line, but it’s nearly impossible to photograph. I’m starting to wonder if FMU isn’t actually the best way for me to test.

Too scared to do a digital in case it says no and used my last FRER yesterday morning (BFN).

I had Two desperate dreams last night about getting a BFP. This is really messing with my head.

I can definitely see something. Can you hold out two more days for the hormone to build up and do a frer? X

Welcome to all the newbies too

Morning,
I am a newbie here but feel like i need some advice/support, hate waiting!
Been on the mini pill for nearly a year, came off in October. I ovulated on 8th/9th Nov, we dtd both days, woke up the next morning feeling sick both days, now 7 dpo, had sore nipples/breasts since then, stomach cramps, some diarrhoea and constipation, done a test, bfn up to now.
Obviously as i have had no period for nearly a year on the pill i dont know when/if that will come but have been ovulating every moth even on the pill.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks Louise x

@mrsof20118 hopefully! That was the last test in the house so that might help me control myself. More internet cheapies coming tomorrow though! I am definitely thinking it might be an FMU issue for me.

When I got my BFP with my daughter it was a very faint line in the morning and then a very strong line the same afternoon. So of course now I’m wondering if I should buy more tests and test this afternoon 🙈

@louise392 I can’t really talk because I’ve been testing since 7dpo, but it is very early. Implantation may not have even happened yet so you might have to wait a few more days at least.

There’s a really good set of stats on here that show you the percentage of people getting BFPs on certain days. It helped me to be (a tiny bit!) more patient.

Everyone is pregnancy at the mo! Go to a music class the teacher and 3 other mins are pregnant then go to the soft play and loads of pregnant people around!!

BFN today. Waiting for bleeding to start.

According to my GP up to 50% of pregnancies fail even before AF due day. I will never test early again.

@stroan I have not seen that site before, thanks for that!

I am not good at waiting as it is so this is a nightmare. It is my wedding anniversary today and we are going out for a meal and drinks, was hoping to know for then but will just have to have 1 or 2 just in case

Oh WOW! Congratulations you guys 😁 3 BFP's, that's amazing!!

I was not very hopeful for this cycle because of my UTI and how sick I was etc. But I'm actually late now and no sign of AF 😮

I'm just trying to hold out a bit because I can't stand seeing those awful negative tests anymore 😩

Feels like a lucky thread though 😉
