TWW - testing 4th September

[Blossomingflower94]

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

@mrsmeow2019 from a cheap test from Amazon. Beginning to think maybe it wasn't really there or it was a dodgy test.

Going to get some from the hospital tonight and retry in the morning. Certainly haven't got my hopes up.

@Blossomingflower94 fingers crossed for you! Let us know :D. I've some works ones I've been using and assumed they were same sensitivity as a FRER but they turn out not to be , which doesn't seem to make much sense to me but certainly a lesson learnt!

Have a good shift x

@Blossomingflower94 sometimes the app won't let me upload images either and it asks me to take the image via the app if that makes any sense! I've got all my fingers crossed for you! It's such an emotional rollercoaster ride isn't it!

Well another day, 0 pregnancy symptoms, more af symptoms and another family pregnancy announcement! (Obviously I'm very happy for her, it've just had a little sad for me moment!).

I have noticed a changed in my CM. It's very stringy and creamy coloured. Anyone know what this could mean? I've looked online and it's suggested AbloodyF 😂😂😂

I'm 12DPO tomorrow and I think I won't test, I've tested since Thursday every morning and all BFN... I think I'll wait until Tuesday to test, AF due Wednesday xx

@AliSxo sounds sensible :)

I talked myself into a Frer before going out for dinner with DH. Obs BFN, has 3 glasses of wine and feeling a lot more positive !

However tried to explain to DH what it's like as a woman thinking every twinge is a symptom of being pregnant .... he likened it to thinking he's got diarrhoea and waiting to see if the Imodium has worked 🤦‍♀️ 🤦‍♀️ 🤦‍♀️

Hope you're all having a good weekend x

Has anyone had cramping with their previous pregnancies early on? I'm not due AF until the 8th but for the past couple days I've had some slight cramping, slightly milder than period cramps and on and off through the day, trying not to overthink here but could it be implantation maybe? I'm 5DPO today

@MrsMeow2019 men eh?! 😂 xxx

@AliSxo it's that split second where you think 'and I want to have a baby with you!?' 😆

@flossy12 I've had cramps for a couple of days but I think really it's AF on her way. There are a few threads about cramps turning out to be pregnancy though as a sign of the womb stretching

@MrsMeow2019 yeah I'm just going to try and ignore it for now 😅 don't want to get my hopes up, although the closer to the 7th I get the more I'm getting excited 😆😩

I have noticed a changed in my CM. It's very stringy and creamy coloured. Anyone know what this could mean? I've looked online and it's suggested AbloodyF 😂😂😂

@november90 how many dpo are you??

@flossy12 I am now 11 dpo! X

Ooohh! Strange 😅

I'm due 4th September, currently 11DPO. The TWW is driving me loopy - trying not to look at everything as a symptom.

@MrsMc2019 me too, and I've got to wait until the 6th! I keep veering between thinking I might be pregnant and being convinced I'm definitely not, it's a rollercoaster!

@itssquidstella @MrsMc2019 @november90 it's totally driving me insane, I think Af is due the 5th according to my app, so we're all similar times. I just want the week to be over with already :/ , at least we're only waiting another 4-5 days now not 2 weeks

O and I did another IC today which was negative so I've banned myself from any more tests until Friday the 6th if AF hasn't shown up!

Making a new plan to not buy pregnancy tests unless AF is late - how long will I stick to it 😆

@MrsMeow2019 I stupidly tested in the evening at 7dpo, mostly because I'd bought a pack of cheap dipstick tests that I'd never used before and wanted to figure out how they work, and obviously it was negative (then I read the instructions more closely and it said you could only test one day before your period anyway, so I should have saved the effort!).

No more testing for me unless AF doesn't arrive on the 6th - I'm at a wedding on Saturday and would like to know whether or not I can drink.

My back has just started cramping a bit though so AF is probably en route.

@MrsMeow2019 I couldn't resist an internet cheapie and it was BFN!! AF due on Wednesday so I agree we all find out this week and not a two week wait!! I've got lots of FRER stocked up and some clear blue on their way in the post!! I agree I'll stop testing it's not helping! Such sore boobs last night but as this is my first month off the pill I'm unsure if that's just an AF symptom xx

@AliSxo I used up a Frer yesterday, got one left and a clear blue packet ... they're too expensive to waste so I'll leave them till Thursday / Friday 😂

It's my first month of the pill too after 5 years. It's hard to interpret anything as might just be PMs that we've not noticed being on the pill 💊

All will be revealed one way or the other this week and if not we'll have to start an October bus!

@MrsMeow2019 it's nice we're in the same boat!! Boobs still sore but agree this could be a normal AF symptom... good luck for this week! Xx

@MrsMeow2019 snap!! I did one then got so disheartened, it's torture!! My due date for the baby I lost earlier this year is this month so I think I'm putting sooo much pressure on myself

@itssquidstella every little twitch or tickle I feel I keep thinking ooooh that's a symptom then I realise it can so easily be explained away by something else! I feel that my body is playing games sometimes.

@MrsMc2019 oh me too. I've got the worst spots on my forehead today, which probably just means af is coming, but I swear I didn't have them this badly last month so part of me is hoping it's a sign!

Does anyone know if bad skin can be an early symptom, or am I kidding myself?

@AliSxo hope you have a good week too, fingers crossed for lots of BFPs 💖🍼

@MrsMc2019 sending lots of love to you, I can't imagine how you feel, be kind to yourself this week - like a tonne of chocolate xxx

@itssquidstella I think spots can be an early sign but they're a sign of AF too , our bodies are so cruel lol!
