TWW - testing 4th September

[Blossomingflower94]

Anyone else in the TWW and want to keep each other sane?

Yes caffeine free for 4 months now 😁 I was having way too much and I cant seem to have it in moderation.

Another family friend announced her pregnancy this morning ... Happy for her but also 😭 feels like everyone is pregnant but me at the moment!

@Blossomingflower94 Wow kudos, don't think I could go completely caffeine free - I'm not necessarily that bothered by the caffeine itself but I love the taste of coffee.

Aww that sucks - I don't have many friends with babies or who are expecting (though one of my close friends is due imminently). That being said my husband's significantly younger sister is apparently planning to start trying in December which could prove interesting. I'm trying to think it's good because my child will have a cousin close in age. Ah the hypotheticals...

Hypotheticals are driving me crazy. I'm trying to ignore them as last month it was all 'if I'm pregnant this date will be this' or 'maybe this person will have a baby too' 🙄

98% sure I'm out this month as my BBT has been a bit weird compared to last month. Don't think my temp has raised enough to be pregnant ... That and we didnt BD at the right time 😂

@Blossomingflower94 I'm the worst with looking up when the due date would be if we catch on each month. It's riddiculous 😁

How many days of flashing smileys did you have? I'm on day 4 of flashing smileys and I know you had a pretty long stint, so hard to gauge anything! I've started doing cheapies in the afternoon but they seem pretty faint.

Don't count yourself out till you're out, you never know! Are you 5 DPO at the moment?

Yes 6 DPO now I think. I'm trying not to count the days.

I had 6 flashing in the end. Got the static in the afternoon of my 6th day. My cheapies go from nothing to dark within a few hours so I am glad I tested again!

@Blossomingflower94 That's reassuring, my cheapie lines are really faint so it feels like I'll never ovulate - but to be fair I do drink a lot of water so the results will probably always be diluted when not using FMU (I've been doing CB in the morning and cheapie in the afternoon). Day 5 of flashing smileys today. Yay.

Let's hope tomorrow is the day for the static smiley.
I had that issue with the cheapies as I drink loads throughout the day and I'm not willing to get dehydrated just to get a super + OPK.

good luck ☺️

Aaah I took a test in the afternoon and it was still flashing but just got a static now!!!!

Wahoo!! Get busy!! 😂

Officially in TWW now. Will try to symptom spot less this time around for sure. I have noticed that I get nauseous around ovulation which is interesting - apparently it's to do with the progesterone rise.

Only one week to go for you @Blossomingflower94 - are you testing at the weekend?

I hope this TWW flies by for you.

Because I've pretty much ruled out this month the tww is going pretty quickly. I go on holiday tomorrow morning and come back Sunday. I am tempted to take a test with me to do on Saturday but I may just wait until AF this month.
My BBT doesn't match my OPK's so I'm a bit confused about it all!!

@Blossomingflower94 Ooh definitely a nice way to spend the TWW. Maybe bring one with you just so that you don't have to storm local pharmacies 😆 Have a fab time on your hols!

Hey ladies, how's the TWW treating you? I'm symptom spotting which I'm going to try and snap out of, sore boobs mainly but I had that last month with AF arrival. I'm due AF on Saturday, tempted to test on Wednesday with a FRER, I'll see how I feel 😂 xxx

Am symptom spotting but so far all symptoms I have had over past few months and turned out to be BFN. Actually no symptoms really so far, boobs have stopped hurting so assume I am out. Af due 30th/1st so I fear we are almost at the end of ttc 3 for age gap and time of year reasons 😓. How are all the other threebies going? Obviously I know I am really really lucky to have two

Thankfully I'm too early on to symptom spot 😄

@Chaosonthehorizon That's got to be stressful, try not to think about that too much, if you put all this extra pressure on yourself about age gaps and time of the year it will just put your body under more stress and make it all the harder!

It's happens when it happens! @Chaosonthehorizon this is my first time TTC and I'm learning so much, I'm due on Saturday 29th according to Flo app so tempted to test with an FRER on Thursday but then might just wait til AF to let me know, really disappointing when it's a BFN! Xx

Off on holiday and haven't packed any tests. It was a battle but I'm just going to wait till I get back and then AF will be due. 👌🏼

@Blossomingflower94 Enjoy - it's horrible and rainy over here! Not too shabby as far as spending the TWW goes 😄

Raining here too! I don't mind as it's not going to stop us doing anything.

Not going to lie, I've just had a half pint of Guinness as I'm that convinced AF is coming and I don't want to not do what I would on a normal holiday.

Wedding on Friday so I'm sure that will distract me from my impending period.

Hope you have a great holiday and it'll take your mind off things! You've done well not to pack any tests! I'm around 12DPO tomorrow and tempted to do a FRER tomorrow morning but not sure if I should hold off x

@Blossomingflower94 Enjoy! And yes you're right even a rainy holiday is a holiday, shouldn't stop you from having fun! I think half a pint of Guiness is still pretty reserved 😁 I think I read somewhere that they used to recommend that a pregnant woman drinks Guiness every day to make sure she has good iron levels back in the day 😁

I'm now 4 DPO, work's been busy so it's going by quickly, but in a way I also can't believe I'm not further. A good friend of mine just had a baby yesterday so getting massively broody over the photos.

@AliSxo Oh wow, your TWW is basically over! Maybe test on Saturday so that whatever the result is it's the weekend and you have time to process it all? And you'll be 13 DPO so there's a good chance it should show!

Hey @Raizelrea I tested this morning with a FRER and big fat negative xx bit gutted but work today will distract me and I'm not out until AF arrives xxxxxxxx

@AliSxo Yeah definitely not out yet, 12 DPO is still early days! Try again on Saturday or Sunday if AF doesn't show 🤞

I feel like AF is imminent. Having a nice tea and come to terms that I'm very likely out this month x

@Alisxo I'm sorry 😞 I know how you feel. Currently feeling AF imminent arrival too and although I was expecting it it's still disappointing.

Look after yourself 💙
