TWW - testing 4th September

[Blossomingflower94]

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

Hey @Blossomingflower94 they didn't refer me as I was only 5 weeks and I described to them that I'd had a heavy period, they did a test with my urine it was an IC that confirmed I wasn't pregnant. I'm glad I wasn't referred in a way, it would of been quite intrusive, I want to start retort again in a few days, they advise you should wait until you have a period but I'll see how I feel.
Good luck for your test 5DPO is so early but I know I'll be back in the TWW before I know it. Fingers crossed for you lovely xxxxx

I totally agree. Definitely a good thing that you didn't get referred. I know it's not helpful right now but I hope in the future you see that everything happens for a reason. You'll get your beautiful bundle of joy one day 💜

Thanks for the well wishes. I've been super crampy today which is bizarre as it's too early for implantation (unless I O'd right at the beginning of my LH surge) and waaaaay to early for AF. Not long and I'll soon know for sure.

Sounds awful but I really want this month to be a BFP as it means I get to step down from active duties at work and sit at a desk for 9 months 😂 cannot wait 😂

Thanks @Blossomingflower94 I agree it just wasn't the right time xx random cramping might be implantation it's not a terrible sign, wouldn't it be great if we just knew straight away and didn't have this TWW?! Aww I bet you can't wait to tell them at work so you can be on the desk, really hope this is your month! Xxxx

Knowing straight away would be amazing.

Had abdominal cramps and +++peeing today so I think I may have a UTI brewing. Cramps have gotten better now I have drowned myself in water.

6/7DPO today (probably more 7 than 6 looking at my temp) so it's way to early to test.

Hope you're doing ok 💜

Hi ladies! I'm knackered, got back Wednesday around midnight (suppose technically it was Thursday already), went to work where we had an all staff meeting that heavily hinted at redundancies in the future, then went to the hospice to see OH's grandad who has deteriorated while we've been away. I just want to sleep for several days!

I did start doing CB OPKs yesterday morning again, figured it would be a good distraction at least. Not sure if we'll necessarily DTD around the "right" days but can't hurt to have some extra data about my cycles.

@AliSxo Sorry to hear your news, you seem to have a good way of looking at it though! Definitely good that no surgery was needed and that you can make a fresh start relatively soon. Sending virtual hugs!

@Blossomingflower94 Really hope that's not a UTI (if anything because I hate them). Fingers crossed, sounded like you did all you could this month. Halfway through the TWW! When are you testing?

Aww @Raizelrea sounds like you've really been through it the last few weeks, hope things start to calm down for you x it's good to track ovulation as it's just beneficial to know it. I think I'll start trying again this weekend, I'll ovulate next week according to the Flo app so I'll use internet cheapies just to see how accurate it is. They recommend I have another period before I try again but I might not even catch this month, I'll feel much happier trying again as I feel empty at the moment I've really struggled this week. Xx

@raizelrea thanks lovely. Sorry to hear you're being thrown through the ringer with life. It sucks 😞

UTI symptoms seem to have subsided today as I drank sooooo much water yesterday to flush it out.

I keep wishing for sore boobs but nothing so far 😂 currently 7/8 DPO and I'm definitely going to cave early and test ... Probably on Monday at 10/11DPO.

Good luck for testing @Blossomingflower94 I'm going to start the OPK tests this weekend, I think it'll be more like next weekend I start ovulating.
My boobs are always sore before AF, it's so unfair that AF symptoms are so similar to early pregnancy! Xx

A very BFN on pregnancy test, I'm now testing with OPK's so I can track ovulation should I get pregnant this month and it'll help with dating. If I do come on my period in a few weeks that's also fine but I think it's good for my healing of what's happened if we just keep trying x

Sorry about the BFN, I know you were expecting it but its still a kick in the teeth. I'm beginning to love OPK's - it'll be great to help with your dating.

I know, I wish there was just a test that you can do immediately. Someone should invent that, they'd make a fortune!!

I'm going to test in the morning at 8/9DPO. Away this weekend and I'd quite like a glass of wine so if its negative ill crack on! :)

Did my test this morning and BFN. Knew it would be because it's so early but it means I can have a drink tonight 😄

Hey @Blossomingflower94 it's still early days, at least you can have a drink and you're coming to the end of the TWW now which is better, keep busy and it'll fly by xxx

Thank you. I know it was super early and I won't test again now till Monday or Tuesday probably.

Hope you're feeling ok! x

Hey I'm just waiting for my ovulation sticks to get darker, Flo predicts it to be around Tuesday so hoping it gets darker in the next few days xx

Everything crossed for you @AliSxo

Ummmm. I think I may have just got a BFP. Am i going insane or is there a second line there? I'm 10DPO.

OMG yes I can see it!! @Blossomingflower94 try a FRER as they're much more sensitive xxx

I don't have any! I'm at work today so will try and grab one on break. Will it work with it not being FMU???

Aaah so exciting!!! 🤞🤞🤞

@Blossomingflower94 get a pack of two, they're really sensitive so you should get a faint line tonight and another one in the morning xxxxx

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!

I got some hospital tests (I work in a hospital) and did it this morning, not even FMU and LOOK!!!!!!!!!!

Is this real?!

@Blossomingflower94 that's amazing you must be over the moon!! Xx

So happy. I will 100% keep checking on here to see you guys get your BFP's. @AliSxo and @Raizelrea you've both kept me sane these past few months so thank you!!

@Blossomingflower94 That is wonderful news, so pleased for you! Congratulations!!! 🎉 Such a strong line for just 10 DPO as well!

Aww @Blossomingflower94 we're so pleased for you and keep us updated with your progress, make sure you tell work so you can be on the desk!! Xxx

Did a digital today and got this. I'm 4 weeks today :)

Told work and officially on the desk! Booking appointment is on the 19th November.

How are the OPK's going @AliSxo?
