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.

Morning everyone! Welcome newbies 🙂
I’m now 7dpo, no symptoms so starting think it’s not my month again...

barnburntdown · 17/01/2019 09:16

Morning all and welcome newbies. Polly it's my third cycle too. I am sorry to hear about your stillbirth Flowers.

I am out this month. I'm early in the game so I'm not too bothered. DP works away half the year and I have told him he needs to turn down work at my next fertility window. My age and his working away are the two factors that are adding pressure but we'll just keep going I guess. I'm going to scroll through for people's views on supplements and other tricks (e.g preseed- is this any good?).

Anyway I'm off to get my tooth extracted today what a top day I am having 🤣.

Good luck all, I'll be checking in !

MaryZM · 17/01/2019 09:27

AF arrived with a punch this morning! Oh well, I thought it may be too good to hope that I would fall pregnant on C1. Bring on February. Good luck everyone!

Mooey89 · 17/01/2019 10:07

AF is due in 7 days... am I on a hiding to nothing testing tomorrow?

GB54 · 17/01/2019 11:13

Sorry to hear some of you are out, best of luck for next cycle! 💖

I’m so impatient, this is all I can think about 😭

GB54 · 17/01/2019 11:14

@Mooey I’m due on in 7 days as well, I’m going to test Saturday morning at 9dpo. My friend says she got a definite BFP at 9dpo and a faint line at 8dpo so you never know!

ShortandSweet96 · 17/01/2019 12:12

Sorry to hear AF arrives guys, onto February, best of luck to you, keep us updated too!

I have a gut feeling this isn't my month either. I Just don't feel anything different other than slightly tender boobs but nothing noticeable unless I push in them, and the weird crampy pain. Other than that I'm pretty much same old me :(

Likewise sorry to hear for the AF'ers and also the losses that have been mentioned 💐 sending love 😘

@GB54 and @Mooey89 I'm also due same day. Thinking of doing a first FRER on Saturday....

Sorry @ShortandSweet96 it's not over yet but I know it's not always helpful to think that way either.

takingtheplungeagain · 17/01/2019 13:33

Sorry to hear AF has arrived for some of us and @Pollaay welcome, my last pregnancy I came off cerelle and 5 weeks later I had a BFP!

Only 4dpo here (guessing) no symptoms whatsoever!!

HeartvsHead · 17/01/2019 15:56

This TTC malarkey really is a rollercoaster. Sorry to hear AF has got some of you.

I have no idea when I ovulated so no idea when I'll test. Cycles vary from 33-39 days so will maybe try and hold out as long as poss as AF could be due anywhere between 25 and 31st! 100% getting some OPKs if doesn't happen this month.

ShortandSweet96 · 17/01/2019 16:00

I'm with you on getting the opks!
I keep thinking ive hit the right days by the app but I can't being it doesn't happen this month

OP posts:
HeartvsHead · 17/01/2019 16:26

This month we've dtd every other day since period ended just in case. Poor hubby is exhausted 🤣 determined to catch that egg!

Don't feel any different but didn't last time.

I had a c-section with my little girl as she was breech so starting to get paranoid that has done something to stop me conceiving. There's only a 20% or so chance of conceiving each month any way so it's probably just that these things take time.

GB54 · 17/01/2019 18:45

You’ll be fine @heartvshead! Loads of women have csections and go on to have more babies 💖

I use OPKS, temp and can kinda tell when I’m ovulating due to CM and slight cramps. And yet I’m still not getting pregnant 🙈 I had my son almost 10 years ago and have tried so many birth control methods since I wonder if that’s stopping me. I did come off everything 2 years ago though and my cycles have been regular since.

Symptom update - sore boobs/nipples 🙈 could be AF on the way...
Still feeling nauseous since yesterday.
I always remember having really intense, heavy cramps before my BFP last time but I’m only having slight AF-type cramps just now. I think I’d recognise those early pregnancy cramps straight away.

ShortandSweet96 · 17/01/2019 18:49

@GB54 remind me again what dpo you are? I'm much too lazy to read back through!
Wanting to compare symptoms as I'm more aware of my boobs but I wouldn't say they are painful. I've had a constant niggling cramp from about 3/4dpo. And today I feel irritable and absolutely exhausted.. but then I've had the most stressful day at work that doesn't help.

OP posts:
GB54 · 17/01/2019 18:57

7dpo!
Hope you’re feeling better soon, work stress sucks.

HeartvsHead · 17/01/2019 20:20

@GB54 when I'm being rational I know that, however Google is a dangerous tool and leads to lots of paranoia!!

Looks like there will be a lot of us testing over the next week or so then! At the moment I'm thinking I'll wait till AF is due but we will see how long that lasts!

@ShortandSweet96 hope tomorrow goes better! Fingers cross maternity leave will be a get out for a bit soon enough!

T2710 · 17/01/2019 21:29

I haven't commented much but just to update that I got a bfp this morning at 9dpo on a FRER. IC still not showing a line. There's a very slight shadow appearing after the time limit which could be mistaken for an Evap. Now just hoping all goes well.

T2710 · 17/01/2019 21:30

Sorry, I'm 10dpo, not nine

GB54 · 17/01/2019 21:31

Congrats!!! 💖

tedsy · 17/01/2019 21:38

Congratulations x

Peaky1 · 17/01/2019 21:44

Hi all. I'm enjoying reading through all the posts. It's lovely to have people to natter with whilst climbing the walls with impatience!

The only symptom that I seem to have is this continued 'heavy' feeling down there. I'm only 5dpo though! My theory is that I'm hyper aware now. I never ever knew that I could feel ovulation until I started TTC #3 and used opks for the first time. When the tests turned positive I was astounded at how obvious it was with the one sided cramps etc. How on earth had I never noticed that before?!

I'm going to test with FRER from Sunday. I'll only be 8dpo but it will be 6 days before period is due so I'll give it a shot 🤷🏻‍♀️

Peaky1 · 17/01/2019 21:45

Omg @T2710 huge congrats!!! Can we see a pic? I feel like a total weirdo requesting but I like to see them!

Doris19 · 17/01/2019 21:51

Omg our first BFP!!!! Congrats @T2710 🥳

Pika88 · 17/01/2019 21:54

Yay congratulations @T2710 x

HeartvsHead · 17/01/2019 22:06

Yay!! Congratulations!

One down hopefully lots more to go!
