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.

Weaning*

I've started weaning myself off, also a caffeine addict! I bought decaf and I've been doing a mix of decaf and ordinary in my filter machine trying to gradually cut down! I bought decaf tea and it tastes nearly the same though

@lion8 sounds fab, does decafe coffee taste like regular coffee? Be honest, because people standing coke tastes like normal coke when it bloody well doesn't! I can imagineits the same with coffee!

I don't like to tell my OH too much, not in the details anyway - he knows when AF is here but that's about it.

@Doris19 I have cut down on caffeine a bit - mostly because I drink tea and coffee constantly at work so def have too much. I've switched to decaf at home, but will prob have to cut down more if/when we get lucky

I haven't changed much else though. I worry that people will notice me making changes and jump to conclusion I'm pregnant - it seems since we got married and my brother in law had a baby that people are constantly watching me for signs of a baby.

@Gumball54 thank you! Ill make sure to look it up on amazon.

Up until 4 months in my husband had no clue whats was going on apart from AF arriving. I think it has brought us closer for him to know generally how my cycle is and what the fertile window and positive opk results but 2ww is shut down for him lol.

I dont drink coffee or tea very often but love coke/pepsi and chocolate too much. So I need to cut that down quite a bit. Also been trying to include more salad and veg in my diet.

I'm starting calc fluor and vitamin D today. Also want to get some cod liver oil too.

@closedcircuit are you doing a multivitamin that covers those? I've got a folic acid supplement but now I think I better get the others covered too.

Fairly sure my symptom spotting is psychological, I seem to have one sore boob 🤔 3dpo...so many more to go!

I had the same Doris but I was only 2dpo yesterday, I had one heavy feeling boob and a sharp pinching feeling in my nipple.. the to her boobs was fine though so putting it down to trauma i was unaware of! Lol

No I've not been taking a multivitamin - I've yet to find something that agrees with my stomach. A lot of tablets give me an upset tummy! So my thinking is if i take less vitamins at a time maybe it'll be effective. We'll see lol.
I want to start some folate acid too but I'm going to go slow with these so I'm more consistent.

Have had loads of "symptoms" too - lots of back pain some hip pain and moody already!

Hello I'm on my TWW also but this is my first time TTC and I'm due to test on 27th. We've only been trying for just over a week but there's been no period as of yet! Not sure if I'm overthinking things or not x

Welcome @sjkent18!

Ooh how exciting! We're all so similar without cycles this is fab to keep up with updates from everyone!

@ShortandSweet96 thank you! There could be an influx of BFP very soon.. hopefully!!!

@ShortandSweet96 the decaf is actually tasting pretty good, I've been using two scoops decaf and one normal (still need a small hit to get me going in the morning).

I'm taking the ASDA pregnancy and conception multivitamin, it has folic acid, vitamin D and a few others in. It was very reasonably priced, few pounds.

I know what you all mean about not wanting to make too many changes, I feel like people have been staring at my belly since I got married! Don't want to around more suspicions.

Hope you all had a good Monday

@lion8 fab ill look into converting to decaf on the next big shop!

A good Monday?! You're crazy lion. I'll be glad to see Friday!

bearable then at least!

Definitely bearable

I’ve had cramps all day! Bet I end up with early AF.
I’ve never tried decaf 🙈 I need that caffeine boost!

I've had like weird feeling tummy today and feeling quite warm.

Welcome to the new ladies!

So the countdown to testing or AF begins! Let the symptom spotting commence. I always promise myself I won't but... yeah right!

I'm a teacher so basically lived on tea but weaned myself off when pregnant 1st time round and mostly still have decaf/peppermint so colleges shouldn't suss me. Though my lab tech claims she knew before me last time!

Monday down and hopefully a day closer to BFP for us all!

I've had weird crampy feeling low down on my belly today, not like period pains but like crampy? Not so much of an ache as period pains. It's constantly there, more so if I tense the lower part of my belly or stretch. Not sure if it's a symptom but definitely there!

Omg that's so strange!! I've been having exactly the same as you guys with a strange mild crampy heavy feeling in my lower abdomen... not felt it before as far as I know and I'm only 2 dpo which is far too early for symptoms but wtf is it??

It seems we're in sync girl's!! Can't explain it exactly like low down like when you have wind tmi and dull achey feeling and cheeks feel flushed. According to Flo app AF due in 8 days, really hoping she doesn't turn up and we get our bfp's!! X

I swear I had my first bout of nausea today. Disregarded it as I'm sure symptoms can't start yet, but it was definitely not the norm, I'm never queasy. Obviously then set off wondering if it's the start of hormone changes etc etc 🤷‍♀️

Is there anything definitive on when first symptoms arrive??

@Lauraliverpool yes I think so far everyone in this thread has AF due 24th-27th?? Amazing timing!

Anyone else feeling really lethargic and gross? I feel really tired, almost like I'm aboutbto come down with a cold, not exactly a symptom but the lower dull cramps are making me excited butbif don't wanna get my hopes up! Ahhh.

I tell you what, this thread better make the news.. Or something least if we're all in sync and get BFP's!!!
