First Day of the TWW anyone else???

[Emmalouise5688]

So here we go again starting the TWW. I swore I wasnt gonna be as crazy this month about it all but still driving myself nuts

Ivf2019 I'm in exactly the same boat - my SIL is announcing to the family on Xmas day that they are expecting. I'm due on then so don't know how I'll cope with it all if I'm honest!

If I do get a BFP in working most of Xmas day so will just fake a headache 😅

Im around 5dpo only thing im noticing is my nipples are really sore. Weirdest thing was today I noticed I had some ewcm when I went the loo at work then this afternoon its changed to creamy like lotion consistency. I had ewcm for a few days last week around ovulation. Does anyone know why I would have it randomly today?

@emmalouise5688 I quite often get random patches of EWCM after ovulation. No idea what causes it but it does seem to happen.

Sore nipples is interesting though! Is that normal for you before AF or new?

8dpo today and seriously considering cracking out a FRER tomorrow even though I know it's too early and I'll hate myself afterwards!

@emmalouise5688 - you apparently get that on the lead up to AF 😓 only know because I've had some too and have been reading things... We are not out till we are out though 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

I'm now 8dpo with sore heavy boobs (was just sore nips before) with heavy slightly crampy tummy.
Annoyingly these are all symptoms I get in the run up to AF also got EWCM yesterday.
It's so hard knowing the difference between AF and pregnancy symptoms! I guess that's why they say wait until your missed period!
Anyone testing on Sunday?

I think I have convinced myself that I'm pregnant and I'm really annoyed - it's month 21, I absolutely should know better than this

@Teddie1 I think I'll test either Friday or Saturday. It really should be Saturday as when if I get a BFN on Friday it'll put me in a right vile mood in work haha. When are you testing?

@ivf2019 I'm in exactly the same boat. Every month I am convinced that this is it. And every month I feel so devastated and silly when AF comes. Fingers crossed this is our month!
I'll test on Sunday. That will be 2 or 3 days before AF (not really sure exactly when I'm due). When it's BFN I'll try again on Christmas Day. Fingers crossed for Saturday for you! X

Im most likely going to test Sat or Sun. Had very mild period like cramps today and yesterday. Im 6dpo today hopefully this is a lucky thread for us all x

I think I'm 8dpo today. Got an Xmas party tomorrow. 9dpo would be a waste of a frer wouldnt it? So tempted but think I'll enjoy the party and wait a few more days...?

Hey ladies!
My app says I’m 3 days post op but I think I’m more like 4 or 5 based on CM and just a general feeling! 🤞🏻 To everyone for happy Christmas BFPs! AF due roughly New Year’s Day for me as I have quite long cycles- going to try and wait until then to test!! Hoping Christmas festivities will distract me from symptom spotting (who am I kidding!?)

Hi Girls can I join? Think I'm approx 4/5 DPO not really any signs apart from tiny bit of spotting 2 days ago and tender boobs today, Not sure if it's just PMS symptoms came off the pill end of September and have spotted tiny amounts every month between Ovulation and AF so nothing out of the ordinary for me and last month straight after ovulation my nipples were so sore and tingly but haven't got it this month, I've actually been pretty good this month AF due 29th Dec! Good luck to everyone still waiting x

Im the same as you came off my pill the end of September. Im the opposite to you my nipples usually go sore around ovulation except this time they are sore straight after ovulation and having barely noticeble af like cramps x

Oh cool @Emmalouise5688 my nipples last month were unbearable! So glad I haven't got it this month 😂 can't be dealing with that when is AF Due for you? Xx

@bananacloud eating Brazilian nuts, helps implantation?? I did not know that - thanks for the tip! :-)

(I think I am about a week behind you guys, due on 1st jan).

Af is due the 27th. Had very very mild cramps again last night but sore nipples have gone today. So guessing im just gonna have to wait until Af is due even though there are various drinky events coming up before the 27th. Has anyone else here experienced any of the above and got a bfp

@kittiekath, yep and supposedly pineapple too, particularly the core.
I don't think there's particularly strong evidence for either but they're not going to hurt so worth a go!

I feel odd and had some yellowy CM yesterday and it's a bit beige/spotty today (9dpo). Obviously I'm praying it's implantation bleeding but I had some spotting on 9dpo last month too that turned out to be nothing so trying not to get my hopes up!

Might crack out the FRER tomorrow morning...

@emmalouise5688 I wouldn't worry about drinking before your test day. If you are pregnant the embryo and you don't share a blood supply before around 6 weeks (I think) so you should be fine :)

I don’t think I updated this group (although ivf2019 is aware ) I got my bfp! xx

@Bananacloud yaaay congratulations!! What a wonderful early Christmas present! How are you feeling?
Any symptoms on the run up to your BFP that stood out to you? Or did it really just all feel like AF until you tested?

@Emmalouise5688 we're very close together then! I've had nothing, no symptoms what so ever so not feeling hopeful this month this is the most chilled I've been I think because I haven't got any I'm not obsessing and googling every 5 minutes

@teddie1 I’ve been feeling slightly nauseous and very tired. Can’t enough of those naps 😂 and thank you for your words xx

@kittieKath I’m due 1st as well! Although I range from 27-32 days so that’s just going on average!!!
How’s everyone feeling??
Congrats @bananacloud that is such lovely news!!! X

BFN this morning on a FRER so that’s me out. Fucking period will arrive either Sunday or Monday, so either way I’m gonna be spotty and bleeding and miserable on Christmas - hooray 😩😭
It was our last shot this month before going back on contraception (having IVF for genetic reasons and have to sign to confirm I’m on contraception when we agree to go ahead, even though we won’t be starting treatment until August).

Anyway, moan moan moan. Good luck to the rest of you! I hope there is some more good news on this thread and some little Christmas puddings on the way xx

I'm sorry ivf I hope you're ok x

So I had a lot to drink last night as I had down a frer in the morning and nothing. I've just done another one today (feeling very dehydrate). Is this was I think it is? I'm new to this and don't k ow about evap lines etc? It looks pink in the light.

I’m so sorry @ivf2019. But don’t let it ruin your xmas. I think you should take this opportunity to have best Xmas ever!!! 🥂🥂🥂 x
