Anyone starting the TWW

[Laur89]

Hey guys, anyone starting the TWW? I'm only 1dpo, due AF around 19th September. Anyone in the same boat??

@Ellsbells112 absolutely babe, it's the same as mine but just the colour is different. And more when I pee too! Yep, not enough to fill a little pad either. It's also stopped for the last 2-3 hours 🙌🏻🤞🏻definitely. Now we wait. Mild cramps have eased off a lot too now! Woohoo!

@Laur89 oh chick it sucks doesn't it. Hope you've got lots of comforts around you!!

@Robbo93 oh babe, thank you. You girls are all so lovely and supportive. Here's hoping 🤞🏻 Still not technically due so it feels good to me! And that does sound so confusing, doesn't it. Hmmm, I can never tell why things are all over the place. Hoping it sorts itself soon chick!

@Happymumma29 oh no! Does it feel like its coming on? Sorry chick, I missed your reply to me earlier. Hope AF stays away and you're still in the game!!

It feels like it might be. Still mild cramping but fuller feeling if that makes sense. Not like it usually would, but I don't think I can get a negative frer this close. Next month in not wasting so much money on tests and just waiting it out lol

@Happymumma29 oh no! Well hopefully it won't come on 🤞🏻 but if it does then it just means you're healthy and ready for next month 🤞🏻💫

@Gigi318 what a lovely way to put it. Thank you. Fingers crossed for us all x

@Happymumma29 it's all very true. Feels horrible when she arrives, but it just means your body is clearing out ready to start again 🤞🏻 absolutely. Hope you're having a fab day!

@Gigi318 ahhh I dont know what's happening, today it's gotten heavier than spotting but not heavy enough to be like my normal period! No pains, the tenderness on the side where I felt the digging feeling has calmed down a lot too wheres a earlier I was feeling the pain in my back. Ah i dont know but i had a good cry today as my partner is just so crap at supporting with this! Its feel shit, I still dont think it's my period but I'm on the fence now due to it being slightly heavier than spotting. Still only there when I wipe but more than spotting? Maybe it didn't stick properly 🥺😓 I'm feeling really tired still too...I just dont know now

@Ellsbells112 sending you lots of hugs 🤗 I know how it is needing a good cry. Men are just wired differently unfortunately so the emotional support isn't easy for them. Saying that it doesn't mean they don't care I actually think they try to change the subject sometimes as a tactic to help you get your mind of it. That's my logic anyway lol

@Rinoa thank you 🤗 it's true but I just cant deal with the callousness right now. It's an upsetting time and hes not he one constantly checking and then getting upset because it's not "textbook". The only thing that still gives me hope is that I literally FELT the sharp pain of it trying to like implant...and the fact that there are other women out there that have experienced the same thing sort of thing as this and gone on to be pregnant. But I'm also telling myself it might not be. Unfortunately I have to wait this out 😐

@Ellsbells112 Ells babe, it's okay. You've got us. This was me yesterday as the spotting got slightly heavier. Like you, not enough to fill a pad at all but still more than there was and I freaked, but now it's almost nothing 🙌🏻 funny, my main side is the left. I feel like I know where it's trying to implant - if it is. Or even where it has! Call me crazy 🤣🙈 try to not overthink it and relax this evening if you can. Tomorrow is a new day and hopefully we will both be spotting free so we can test soon. Got some FRER now ready for Mon-Tues. Yay. Girl, you've got this 🤞🏻💫

@Rinoa you're so right. I swear they just approach things differently or don't see them like we do!

@Gigi318 @Ellsbells112 I swear my DH is on the spectrum 😂 sometimes I just gotta day "hey I'm feeling crappy that means I need hugs/alone time/ etc" basically spell it out 😂

@Ellsbells112 I really really hope that what you felt was implantation and this is IB, BUT
As someone who’s had month after month of being convinced by every little sign, it sets the disappointment up for such a big crash if it doesn’t work out.
That doesn’t mean it isn’t or that it isn’t your month but just try to manage your expectations.
One way or another you’ll know in a couple of days. Big hugs to you x

AF is here. I'm amazed at the symptoms I felt, that my body must have been hoping for. Next time I'll be waiting for AF due date to test. Good luck everyone!

@Happymumma29 oh no! Sorry to hear that, but at least it means you're healthy and that you're ready to start again with this next cycle. Yes the body is magic, isn't it. It's like we're looking for all these things and they could be nothing, could be PMS, or could be a BFP. We'll drive ourselves mad 🙈 sending lots of love and hugs!

@Gigi318 @Mooey89 @Rinoa thank you girls ❤ it seems to have gotten lighter today but still there so who knows. Still no cramps at all with this, I normally cramp up badly on my first proper day of my period which would be the second day(yesterday)
It's just weird because I felt the sharp pains come on suddenly on Friday in my right side, no cramps and then that's when I started spotting! So either it's worked, or it tried to work and failed that what it feels like honestly, it does not feel like a period. I'm kind of pissed off that I know my body so well otherwise I'd be none the wiser 🙄

Anyway yesterday evening when I got in I was sitting on the sofa and I felt like I was getting car sickness! It was horrible so I went to sleep!

Rinoa, my partner is definitely on the spectrum and I tell him all the time 🤣

Hows everyone feeling?

@Ellsbells112 that's good. I've had nothing last night or overnight. A bit of cramping in the night (and yes I was awake again) but nothing painful - just more aware of it. Hoping that it is IB and not a light AF. I am due today/tomorrow but so far so good. I usually wake in the night in horrific pain but have survived another night 🤞🏻💫 although I have woken to what feels like the flu. Everything aches and I'm all bunged up. Wonderful!

How is everyone?

@Gigi318 so no more spotting? Sounds good!!! Everything is crossed for you xx

@Gigi318 I'm also getting up twice in the night now to wee. Lol why is my body messing with me 😭

@Ellsbells112 had a tiny little bit this morning now. Again light brown. Trying to hold of checking for as long as I can 🤞🏻thanks chick. Urghhh it's hard to know isn't it!!!! Keeping my fingers crossed for you too chick 🤞🏻💫

@Gigi318 ah okay. I haven't had brown since friday, today it has turned back to light spotting and my back hurts 🤷‍♀️ are you going to stick to testing Monday or Tuesday? I think I'm defo going to wait till Tuesday x

@Ellsbells112 I think it's still sounding good to me love. Hold out hope. Are you late now? I'm due today/tomorrow. I'm going to test Tuesday if no AF I think. As if I am due tomorrow then Tuesday is one day late 🤞🏻yes wait til Tuesday babe. Do you have a FR for it? Sorry if you've already told me 🙈

@gigi318 thank you ❤ you've really helped me along this journey I'm so thankful! Yes I've got one frer ready and waiting! I know right? It's nothing like my norm! I'll hold onto a bit of hope but with a touch of salt so I am fairly ready for any outcome, as however unlike a normal period this is for me, I still bled a bit more than spotting yesterday ❤🙏

Have you got a first response too? Xx

@Ellsbells112 you're welcome babe. It's always nice to have people to talk to isn't it? Especially if you're not telling anyone in real life, like we're not and I don't talk to my OH extensively about it as I know it's not his thing! Yes I picked up some FRER yesterday 🙌🏻 now I have the right tests and I have managed to pee in a cup I'm sure Tuesday will be less of a shambles 🤣🙈 yes this is very light for me and I always get horrendous pain before AF comes and nothing. I think this is why I've not be sleeping well as I've been worried about it coming on. Usually happens around 3am. So 🤞🏻💫

@gigi318 yeah exactly! I had a talk with my partner yesterday so now today he is being a lot better thank god!! Finally got through his thick skull!!

Tbh I think yours sounds more promising than mine! I really think you're going to get a positive babe it sounds proper! So I'm really excited to hear! It's hard not to worry though right? But take it easy because we literally cant do anything anyway lol! Just have to wait it out ffs - I have zero patience- but yeah, you sound promising so definitely relax. I think I have a chance of a positive but a higher chance of a negative...and I'm going to stick with that to manage expectations like @mooey89 said definitely. 😁 and that's okay!

What are you up to today? Xx

@Ellsbells112 that's amazing. I'm glad he has done that. My OH is pretty good, I just know me constantly talking about things would drive him nuts 🙈
Do you think? I think they sound pretty similar. I am constantly thinking eek is AF going to show, but I'm really not in much pain and it's just my boobs, they just feel so weird. Every time I look at my nipples I'm like 👀 they are so bumpy and dark! Thank you chick and yes we just need to relax and wait it out. So frustrating. I feel like I've been waiting forever! I'm having a chilled one today, potentially out for food but I feel so rough I'm not sure. What are your plans for the day?
