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??

@Gems7 oh absolutely. I think it can still be creamy after O. I had it creamy for a week or more after O last month. I think if its's clear and watery it's fertile, then goes creamy afterwards. But don't quote me on that. Definitely cover yourself to be sure. Mine is still watery at the moment. If its still like this when OH is back on Thursday, I shall be doing the same 😂🙈 how are you feeling??

It was watery yesterday and the day before.. so I'm really not sure when ovulation is this month but I'll just continue to DTD regular away for the next week. OH won't complain haha
I feel fine though Thankyou. Absolutely peachy. I feel quite excited and relaxed this month. I have made a Gp apt in a couple of weeks time just to check everything is "okay" as I'm 35 and although I know I'm not a dinosaur I'm not in my 20's anymore so just want that piece of mind! 😊 how about you hun how are you? Xx

Hey girls, hope everyone is good?
@Gigi318 correct me of I'm wrong are you ovulating today? Are you able to BD ? Sorry I know you said but I cant remember 🤦‍♀️
@Gems7 it's all confusing lol the CM really baffles me!

I'm 2-3dpo and nothing out of the ordinary (obviously, too early!) But my nipples have been so sore the past 2 days and I haven't had that feeling the past 2-3 months for some weird reason. The past few months I've had shooting pains in my breast which weren't usual for me but the sore breasts used to be normal for me if that makes sense 🤣
If they get more sore I'll be hopeful for this month!

@Gems7 that sounds good. You may have O yesterday then maybe? Definitely keep it up - it all helps! That's fantastic, glad you're feeling good. I'm also relaxed and positive this month, it's so exciting isn't it. Hopefully all should still be well with you. I'm 30 but feel as fit and fertile as ever to be honest. So I'm sure things will go smoothly when they're meant to. Feeling good, just a little tired so plan to have a chilled evening! Woohoo.

@Ellsbells112 I think so. A LOT of watery CM today along with twinges. So think it's happening bang on cue. Not today, OH is away but we did the last 3 days so I think I'm good. There should be swimmers ready and waiting for the little egg 🙊😍 Oh that's good. Try not to drive yourself mad with symptom spotting though, chick. We've got this!!! How are you feeling?

@Gigi318 oh definitely not symptom spotting it's the worst thing ever! I'm.actually quite happy that I feel normal! Lool except for sore breasts but I know that can be a pms symptom!
My sis is coming over for australia tomorrow so super excited! Roll on the weekend in ireland!!

How are you feeling? X

@Ellsbells112 awww that's amazing. Did she move out there or are you originally from Aus? Definitely roll on the weekend. I need a break already 😂🙈
Excellent stuff. Hopefully it will all fly by for you and it will be testing time before you know it. What date will you test, do you think? Absolutely. My boobs are sore at the moment but I know that's O. If the stay sore or get worse, then I'll be happy 😂👌🏻

@Gigi318 yup that's exactly what I said, if they stay sore or get worse I will be happy 🤣🤣
No she moved out there so cant wait to see her, we will be going over to stay with her for christmas too! Cannot wait!!

I dont know when I'll be testing but I'm due on when I'm .going italy so I'm hoping to use that as a distraction and if it comes then cool, if not I'll test.
But as I said earlier if I start puking all over the place and cant touch my boobs without crying then I'll tetlst🤣 nothing less!
When will you be testing?

@Ellsbells112 hahah what are we like. Oh that's so lovely. How amazing, I bet that will be fantastic. Although I always wonder what a hot Christmas would be like 😂🙈
Hehehe that's true. Such a good distraction. Very jealous you're going to Italy. My fave place ever! At least you won't want to test. I'm going to test on the 23rd, unless I'm feeling off a day or so before that.

@Gigi318 I went to Tenerife for Christmas once. Abysmal!
I have high hopes for a beach christmas this year though and a nice bbq for the dinner!
Omg I am sooo excited for Italy I've never been and always wanted to go!! Plus my dad was from Italy and we are going Bologna where my grandmother is from then Piza for a day! Super excited!

Ohh I'm due on the 19th of this month I just clocked and I'm going italy on the 20th 🤦‍♀️ so if no af on 19th I'll grab a pregnancy test actually haha!

Whens your period actually due?

Hi all, when you get ewcm does that mean it's time to do the deed, or too late possibly? So confused as the mumsnet ovulation calculator said I was ovulating between the 2nd and 6th, but I've got ewcm today. Not due for af until 22nd.

Hey @Happymumma29 welcome. It should be happening before you ovulate. The calculator may not be accurate you should go by the signs your body shows so now you've seen EWCM.you should BD :)

@Ellsbells112 thanks for your reply. What's BD? Sorry- just getting the hang of the abbreviations still x

Morning ladies ... we managed to DTD last night woohoo & he described it as one slippery slope 😂 so fingers crossed the swimmers are being protected right now.
I have absolutely no idea where I am in the cycle, i thought I was 4DPO but may not have been. I'm just gonna assume I still am 4DPO and hope for the best xx

Morning! I'm so upset this morning I could cry. OH wouldn't DTD last night because he was exhausted. I didn't see him on Monday he was away with work so we haven't DTD since Sunday morning and I'm pretty sure this morning a big blob of EWCM fell into the toilet. So I just know that's me out this month 😞 I'm so mad at him. I know there's a slim chance but I know in my heart it's not my month now.
Good luck to all you lovely ladies though I still can't wait to hear about you all hopefully getting your BFP's 😊 xxxx

Oh I forgot to add I won't see him until tomorrow night now as I'm going to a concert tonight 😤

@robbo93 omg I'm deadddddd hahahah slippery slope 🤣🤣 I'm glad for you!!

@gems7 ahhh I'm so sorry hun that's really really annoying but you know what if it doesn't happen this month itr might wake him up? Me and my OH didn't do it much last month because he was saying he was tired and this month hes proper been on game since it didn't happen.

@happymumma29 BD is baby dance meaning have sex :)

@Gigi318 morning chick how are you?

I'm fine, my nipples are still sore but not worse and yesterday I had the worse cramps but I actually think it was trapped wind!? Crazy. Anyway I feel fine but I'm gonna feel fine at least until a week later sooo lol

Morning ladies, how are we??

@Ellsbells112 oh that's so exciting. Woohoo, Italian heritage, that's lovely. I'm a bit jealous. Woohoo the 19th isn't too long away. AF is due on 23rd so will test two weeks today. I am now 1DPO finally 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@Happymumma29 yes it usually comes when you're fertile. But some people have said they have had it when they are pregnant. A few days after O. But it could also be O so maybe DTD just to cover yourself? Eek!

@Robbo93 hehehe all sounds good to me, chick. It seems like you could be O. So all good. Just in case. That was like me on Monday 🙊🙈 yes maybe stick with 4DPO. When is AF due?

@Gems7 oh babe, don't panic. It happens. It happened a lot to me last month. And he has been frustrated when I want to DTD as he thinks I have a baby agenda. But I only half do! But if you saw it this morning, you're good because it means you could O in the next 12-24 hours so there is still time tonight. Just don't take no for an answer!!!
And I'm that note, I'm not taking any negativity from you missy. You've got to keep your spirits up and stay in the game. Girl, you've got this. Sunday swimmers could already be there waiting for the egg too. They say DTD before is better than on time or after. So I think you've covered yourself well. And if you can tonight too, then it's all great news IMO. Sending lots of love chick, we've got this okay!!!
And I've just read you're going out, but can't you collar him before or after!! Try your hardest babe. Either way, I don't think you're out. Sunday is perfectly timed!!! 💖💖💖

Oh @Gems7 I know exactly how you feel. However, do not give up all hope just yet - Sunday may have just done the trick for you :)

@Ellsbells112 I wonder why your nipples are so sore?! I've had absolutely nothing except tiredness :( I normally get tender nipples from ovulation through to period but absolutely nothing this month.

@Gigi318 I'm not sure when period is due to being uncertain on ovulation. Also experiencing the shorter LP so who knows? I've stopped taking pregnacare this month to see if that changes anything. I shouldn't imagine it would be affecting my LP as it's been tried and tested as helping improve fertility but I could be the 1 in 20 million percent it doesn't hahahaha (just clutching at straws I think lol)

@Robbo93 how long are your cycles usually? Maybe go by the usual dates just to be sure as it may not be exactly 14 days after O if you do have a shorter LP. It's all so confusing, isn't it. I'm also not sure when O is now. I assume yesterday but a few twinges today all over the place (by both ovaries too 🤷‍♀️) but I'm sticking with yesterday and will test two weeks today regardless! Our bodies are so hard to work out 😂🙈

@Gigi318 yes good stuff! Cant wait! 😁 fingers crossed for us allllll

@Robbo93 probably just because of ovulation but I haven't had it in ages! Then again if I want to get scientific I had loads more EWCM this month too so maybe higher hormones this O! How are you feeling?

Thanks for the support girls, I was just feeling sorry for myself this morning and mad at OH. Still am really haha but I know it's not the end of the world and there's still a sliver of a chance so we'll see. I'm just going to tell myself I'm out this month and anything else is a bonus!
I'm really rooting for you all though and really hoping this is your month. You've all got a fighting chance this month and it's your time! 💕 xx

@Gigi318 going by the last few months, I start spotting about 6-7 DPO and then AF usually comes about 9-10 DPO.
That's if I even ovulate.. ? I only came off the pill in January so not quite a year yet.

@Ellsbells112 I've deffo had more mucus then usual this month too. I'm hoping it's a good sign and that I'm more fertile than previous months.

@Gems7 thanks chick. You're included in the baby dust sprinkling this month - you're not ruling yourself out just yet.

@Gems7 never be sorry chick, we all have moments like this. Hormones are often high around O so it's normal chick. While I usually can't agree with even the slightest of negativity, I'm with you there chick as you sound quite optimistic still and calm about whatever will be. Trying to DTD all the time really isn't as easy as they make it sound!!! Thank you babe, I hope it's all of our time too! And even yours. Because you never know. Early swimmers really are the best ones as it takes a while for them to get to the ovaries!!

@Robbo93 it all sounds good to me chick! Fingers crossed for you. Technically not long until AF is due then. Do you know when you might test. How exciting!

I've now noticed more creamy/milky CM so I'd say I've already O. But we shall see. Keeping those eyes out 👀👀👀 just in case!!!

@Gigi318 nope, I'm gonna hold out as long as I can cos I'm fed up of wasting money when I know deep down it's negative lol.

I've had a creamy white discharge everyday in my underwear since Sunday/Monday. Don't know what it means as I usually have spotless undies? X

@Robbo93 in that case, I think you definitely O at the weekend then like you originally thought as I'm pretty sure creamy is post-O. I had it for at least a week after O last month. And funnily enough, I have it now. No idea if it's a sign of pregnancy or no pregnancy though. When it comes to that I genuinely think that every body is different.
Good idea. I have two FRERs here but my first time using them this month. I'll test two weeks today.
How are you feeling?? Xx
