Anybody starting their tww?
Mine starts today, my app says test on the 25th so I'm challenging myself not to test early this time!

Come join me for 14 days of symptom spotting and a healthy dose of moaning about mean AF.

That’s fantastic @Figuringitout 🎉

Frizzy1986 · 21/01/2019 07:10

figuringitout that's great. Unfortunately the fear never quite goes. I still have it now my dd is 5.
Im getting more and more symptoms that seem consistent with af so I'm not expecting a bfp even though I'm still desperately hoping for one.

I’ve got full blown PMS symptoms today - terrible skin and SO grumpy! So I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I’m out this month

Ok so, my internet cheapies that have been stark white negative might have given me the most squinty line this morning. It's too rainy to get a proper photo but I put the photo in negative and i can still see it. Can anyone else!? Or am I going crazy..

TWW starts now, join me!

@ShortandSweet96 I think I can see something when I zoom in on the photo. X

Trying to hold off until Wednesday to take a more expensive test! I really hope this is the one! Grin

@ShortandSweet96 I hope it is for you! I might test again in next few days provided AF doesn't show up before, I hope she doesn't!

Frizzy1986 · 21/01/2019 10:47

shortandsweet I can't see anything I'm afraid. How many dpo are you? Hopefully it gets darker if you test in a few days.

Only 10dpo today, the other tests have been sooo white not even a hint of a line under a light but I noticed this one this morning so hoping it's at least the beginning of something.

That or a horrible evap!

I feel like AF is on her way for me too! 😭

Frizzy1986 · 21/01/2019 13:46

Well at 10 dpo it would be v faint so in a few days I'm sure it'll be more apparent.
Well I'm getting more and more cramps now. I don't usually get many and if I do they are fairly short. I think af is on her way, but pissed that she feels the need to provide an extensive and long winded warning. Id rather she just appear and we can move onto the next month.

Scottish1 · 21/01/2019 14:59

I’m wondering if I normally have cramps this early or if it’s just that I haven’t noticed them as much as now because I am symptom spotting 🤔

Thinking the same but about my boobs, I've never noticed them being tender before AF but then I'm looking for symptoms now so maybe I did but never paid attention!?

Right there with you ladies. It's amazing how much you can notice about your body when you start focussing on it!

Scottish1 · 21/01/2019 17:12

Home from work now and back to doing my favourite thing... googling pregnancy symptoms 😂 Need to STOP! Oh well, another day nearly over and closer to testing! I shouldn’t wish my life away like this 😂

Lauraliverpool · 21/01/2019 17:30

I too feel like AF is on her way argh!! I've got one pregnancy test left for this week please please please AF don't show up, hubby has said he wants this so bad as do I and for our little boy to have a sibling. Fingers crossed for our bfp's! 🍀🤞

Frizzy1986 · 21/01/2019 17:30

It's so silly isn't it. I usually get slight cramps about 2 days before and slightly sore and hard boobs at the same time. The boobs only tingle for a day or 2 but this time I've had cramps on and off for a week and tingling boobs that long too. Cramps are changing though so think it's just a weird month and af is coming. So tempted to test just in case but am only 9dpo and still about 5/6 days til af due so I don't think it would show anything anyway.

Lauraliverpool · 21/01/2019 17:31

Been for 21 day blood test too and hopefully have results by wed.

Frizzy1986 · 21/01/2019 17:32

lauraliverpool my dh is desperate too. He's wanted a second since dd was 2, she's now 5. I just wasn't ready so it's only been since last April /March that we've started ttc and nothing yet. Its weird that he doesn't go through the monthly motions though and doesn't get excited until it actually happens.

Lauraliverpool · 21/01/2019 17:54

@Frizzy1986 think it's different for them in a way, so many feelings and emotions you have and go through when you are ttc.

Peaky1 · 21/01/2019 19:04

@Frizzy1986 You're the same as me! Currently 9dpo and period due in 6 days for me

Scottish1 · 21/01/2019 19:25

@Peaky1 and @Frizzy1986 I am 9/10 dpo too! Testing on Saturday morning. How about you guys?

Peaky1 · 21/01/2019 19:34

@Scottish1 I've been testing since 6dpo. I can't bloody control myself 🙈🤦🏻‍♀️.

What are people's thoughts on dpo and testing? Obv I know that 6dpo is way too early, that's crazy talk 🤪

Scottish1 · 21/01/2019 19:49

@Peaky1 you make me laugh! 😂 Last month I tested early and went slightly crazy with it all so trying to leave it as long as possible this time. Should leave it even longer than Saturday but can’t go any longer than that!

Scottish1 · 21/01/2019 19:51

That’s if Af doesn’t show up before that... 🧙‍♀️
