TWW starts now, join me!

[ShortandSweet96]

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.

I think we all know what I'll be doing tomorrow morning 😳

😂 Well keep us posted! 🤞🏻🍀

Loving reading all these posts makes me
Feel less crazy for the amount of time spent googling symptoms or counting days!

I've ordered my first lot of test strips from eBay should be here by Thursday and think I might have to get the hubby to hide them so I don't start testing too soon 🙈 I've agreed with him I won't buy any of the expensive tests until I actually miss AF. Think I'm only 4DPO today so got a little longer to wait and hold out hope she doesn't arrive.

@peaky1 and @scottish1 my cheapies don't arrive til Wednesday and all I have is one frer and a clear blue (awful thing that I panic purchased last year)
I'll have to hold out until at least Thursday, but I think I'm just delaying the inevitable disappointment. Cramping is getting a bit stronger so I know that it's af. It's the same as in September when I had all these symptoms and was actually 2 days late. The cramping eventually got more pronounced and then af eventually arrived.
Hopefully you 2 are feeling a bit more positive than I am right now.

Hi all, do you mind if i join?
Ttc no 1 - first month off the contraceptive pill, i believe judging by CM alone i may have ovulated this weekend soo if thats the case im in the tww. My app tells me i can test in 11 days although to be honest i dont know how accurate the app will be as ive not had a full cycle yet since stopping contraception.
I appear to have a UTI today which is something i never had in my 10plus years on the pill so im not sure what thats all about?
Love reading all your stories and seeing lots of bfps! Hoping this is a nice lucky thread xx

@Frizzy1986 I really don’t know how I feel-my head is totally mashed 🤯 One minute I think I might be because I had such and such symptoms and then the next minute I tell myself I’m being stupid as it’s only my second cycle trying.... It’s KILLING me!!!! 😂

Hi ladies

I am 6dpo today and really feel AF is coming. I don't know how it could be as I tracked using OPKs and got a peak on 15th. If this phase is now about 12-14 days then I will have a 43 day cycle. I have long cycles but that's a bit longer than my usual 36-39 day cycles. This wrecks your head...

@agteacht it really does! I have longer cycles too 35days average, it's really annoying! Means bigger gaps between trying.

I have a frer sat in my Amazon basket but don't want to order it in case I jinx myself and af arrives as soon as I order it!

@Beddie11 welcome!

Symptom update:
I feel pretty sick tonight, never usually feel sick.

Also heart is racing but that could be down to anxiety as had a panic attack yesterday so feel a little on edge.

Hate symptom spotting now but it's so hard to stop!

@HeartvsHead have just started taking a supplement to help shorten cycles. Will let you know if it works. What dpo are you?

@ShortandSweet96 sorry to hear about your panic attack

My delivery of IC's arrived today so I used one this afternoon, only 7/8 dpo so was obviously stark white but just couldn't help myself

Hi ladies, Have been loving your funny messages:) AF for me is due on Feb.3rd but already have cramping and sore breasts hum...Of course had to test today and was a bfn but I knew it before I tried:) will try again in a few days because this never happened to me before so early before AF

@elimom hi! Isn't it frustrating that pregnancy symptoms are so similar to pms! Such a waiting game it's takes it toll after the first week waiting. Keep us updated!

Morning ladies! Don’t have the mild cramps that I had yesterday and day before today and boobs don’t feel as tender. If this was all af related, would theses symptoms ease off/come and go? Hope you all have a good day!

@scottish1 no idea. Mine usually only appear a few days before af and then they disappear before she arrives, but I think I recall a cycle or 2 where it has been different. I've had slight cramps and slightly hard boobs for about a week now, which seems different to normal, but as I've had a sensation or 2 of worse cramping I'm not so sure if it's not my mind playing tricks. Hopefully it's a positive sign for you.

Eeeeeeeek! BFP alert! 🚨

I think I'm 5 days before af now so technically could use my frer, but I've read it only gives a bpf in 62% of pregnancies so I'm going to hold off wasting it. I also think the possibility is quite nice, but as soon as it's a no, its a bit sad for a few days until you prepare yourself to start again. I guess I don't want the disappointment quite yet.

Yay @Peaky1 ! Congratulations!! how many days po are you? Amazing x

Thanks! I'm now 10dpo and period was due on Saturday so early doors yet 😆

Yay @peaky1. I'm same cycle as you but not confident this time.

@Peaky1 I definitely see something there!
🥳👌
I couldn't resist and totally wasted a FRER this morning...with DS1 I remember I didn't get a bfn until after AF was due so i need to try to hold out until the weekend!

I also feel like my symptoms have gone though so not holding out too much hope this time!!!

@Peaky1 yes I see the line!! Looking forward to seeing darker lines in the next few days

Af is due Sunday for me so going to try and wait til Thursday to test again.

@Peaky1 definitely a line congratulations 🎉🎉

Ah @Peaky1 so pleased for you!! Is this the first test you did?

My crazy mind encouraged me to test this morning at 7dpo, BFN of course.
Im going away with my sister on Thursday for a week so let's face it I'll be testing again tomorrow 😬😂

I've been looking at stats haha! 10dpo is apparently 66%, 11dpo is 79% and 12dpo is 85%. I'm going to try and hold out until my ice have arrived which means Thursday testing at 12dpo. Hoping for a bfp but expecting a bfn is the way I'm going to play it (seriously though, I'll assume its a lie if its bfn just to hold onto that little bit of hope for a while longer!)
