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??

@Gigi318 far too early to be texting, I had told myself I wasn't going to test until af is due! But I've literally been for so many wees, my OH was like what is going on 😆😆 will try and hold off until Thursday, but I bet I will do one tomoro now 😂 ohh yeah we are very close, have you been feeling ok? X

@Laur89 gahhhh, you crazy chick!! I an so scared of testing early 🙈 maybe hide the tests so you can't do it tomorrow 🤣🙈 although if its ICs you might be okay!!
Yessss, I feel very normal. No cold today. Hurrah. No cramping, just the odd twinge. And CM seems to have dried up 🙈 well, less than it was. Sooooo, generally feel normal!

Hi ladies!
9/10 DPO so quite surreal for me to be not spotting yet unless I o'd later than thought.
Very crampy down there today though so think the witch is on her way. Perfect timing for a weekend away 😡

@Laur89i cannot see anything but I'm rubbish with squinters. Try again with FMU and let's hope it is good news fingers crossed 🤞

@Robbo93 oh nooo, I really hope she is not. When is she due?? Let's hope no spotting and no AF at all 😁 when will you test if she doesn't show??

@Robbo93 I think I've gone crazy, I've convinced myself there is a line! 😆😆😆 will try again in a few days, but not feeling hopeful. When is your af due?

@Laur89 @Gigi318 she'd usually come about now as I'm struggling with a short LP. I normally spot spotting a couple of days before though. I stupidly tested yesterday on a cheapie and obv got a negative 🤣 if nothing later then might do again in the morning xx

@Robbo93 yes definitely test again in the morning if she hasn't arrives as hcg could have doubled. Wow this is all so excited. I wish I was as close as you guys. 7DPO today and getting some stretchy like twinges. Think I had something similar last month but it was more like 9/10DPO I think 🤔 so hard not to overanalyse!

@Gigi318 @Robbo93 @Laur89 lol you guysssss I'm like in limbo here still feeling weak but a lot better. I wont know if I have symptoms because my belly feels full twingey anyway from this nasty sickness and I cant even eat I feel like I've had so much food today but only had some soup couldnt finish it! I'm trying hard not to think about it 🤣

Glad you guys are feeling positive, I do think with that test you'll need to do a first response one @Laur89 since it could be an evap line? Sorry I don't mean to be a party pooper but you know just in case!!

@robbo93 ohhh it sounds good though right!! That you arent spotting yet best of luck!!

@gigi318 I hope the stretchy feelings are a good sign for you!!

Honestly I'm really not trying to think anything is anything this month because last month was a real mind fuck and I dont fancy it again tbh! Lool so what will be will be! Trying to keep busy, af due on Saturday! If this isnt the month then luckily my fertile time starts the 31st october makes it seem not too long away!! Xx

When is everyone actually due please!? Lol

@Ellsbells112 awww babe I hope you get better soon. This really sucks 😞 Lord knows chick I'm trying not to look into anything as last month was soooo misleading for me too. I'm 7DPO and AF due 23rd so a week tomorrow. Will test next Tuesday or Weds. We shall see. If AF doesn't arrive at the weekend will you test?

@Gigi318 if my period doesn't come on Saturday I'm testing Sunday morning! Hahaha most certainly, I might buy one and have it come on Saturday for Sunday and if my period comes I have it for next month as I only have a clear blue digi in my house that I have no interest in lol until I get a positive on a first response.

Yeah it is really misleading, its annoying because I've been pregnant before and not realised till I was like 6 weeks because I had no symptoms and then I've been pregnant and had loads of symptoms before getting a positive so blah I'll just wait for period. Last month when I was bleeding I was just crying and crying I dont want to feel like that again!

All I've noted is my sore nipples stopped like 4 days ago and I haven't had any cramps or anything like that (unless related to this sickness lol)

Okay so not long to go now! Just another week and you should find out so that's super exciting! I think the closer I'm getting to it the more scared I feel Haha x

@Ellsbells112 hahaha yes you have the right idea there my love. Hurrah. So exciting. Roll on Sunday. And yes, will need it for next month either way.
Oh babe definitely! It really is true when they say no two pregnancies are the same. I've never been pregnant so I'm going in blind to this. But I don't think I will have symptoms!
That was me last month. I was so so scares the night before. Barely slept. Felt like so much pressure 🤣🙈

@Ellsbells112 I'm kinda due anytime now so who knows where I am in my cycle 🤣 currently on CD29.

I'm hoping it's a positive month for us all .. I've never been pregnant before so cannot share previous experiences either. Xx

Absolutely, let's keep the positivity up. It's CD22 for me now. Getting there 🙌🏻

Morning all, I did a frer this morning (AF due Tues) and got a very faint positive. So faint I can't capture it on my phone, but it's there. I haven't had any real symptoms either other than the same stuff I experienced last month. I'll test again in a few days to see a stronger line. After taking so many tests last month at least I can spot a faint line now after no lines at all. I'd be doubting it otherwise.

Morning...
@Happymumma29 that's great to hear. Hopefully you'll get a much clearer line next time you test ☺️

CD30 for me and I did a cheap dip test this morning. It was negative. Had a '.' Where the line should be, but literally a dot.. probably still too early to test with one but I hate the thought of using FRER and getting negatives 😖 xx

Morning everyone, how are we all?

@Happymumma29 that's amazing!!! I can't wait for you to test again. So are you 9DPO ish?? What sort of symptoms are you having?? That's so exciting!

@Robbo93 how many DPO? Test again in two days and see. Exciting that we're all nearing testing time. I'm 8DPO today and slowly getting there. Less than a week to go now 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

I'm feeling shattered, ladies. Barely slept last night and still have this awful stiff neck that came on Sunday/Monday! Which isn't helping me to sleep. Urgh!! A slow paced day for me today, I think!!!

@Gigi318 I'm a predicted 10/11 DPO but I'm not 100% certain on that. It's strange I've not started spotting yet unless coming off the pregnacare actually is making a difference to me? 🤷‍♀️
Hang in there chick, I know it's hard to not symptom spot. I'm currently feeling tired and nauseous but could be the witch Grrr lol xx

@Robbo93 oh that's good, you're getting close to AF due date and a good testing time. I'm excited for you. I hope it's not AF 🙌🏻
Yes, not much longer to go. Less than a week now! Just hope I can get through the day today now 😂🙈 feeling so drained!!

@Gigi318 yes you can! If I have to then you have to as well!! 🤪

Yes it is close to suspected AF for a normal 14 day LP.. but it could be 3 things; 1. I've finally got an average LP. 2. I ovulated later than I thought and still very early DPO. 3. I'm actually pregnant

As much as I pray it's the latter I can't help but think it's number 2 😭

@Robbo93 hahahaha this is true. I have coffee to help me. And I'm on a go-slow so it's not so bad!
Well, I'm hoping it's both 1 and 3 for you chick. And, stop thinking about number 2. Because it already is what it is and worrying about it will make you stressed. And babe, stress is not cool. It just ages you! So we're going to avoid bringing more stress into our lives. This whole tracking the cycle and DTD is enough as it is without driving ourselves mad too 😂
We've got this, okay 💖💖💖

Morning ladies hope you're all well?
@Gigi318 @Robbo93 @Laur89 @Gems7 I'm really hoping my body isnt playing tricks on me and I'm not getting my hopes up lol I still have no symptoms but yesterday I was cramping lightly and when I wiped there was a tiny bit of cm that was just slightly tinged pink (like white pink) then when I wiped again a little while later I got a bigger bit of cm which was tinged white/brown. Not massive but there...this doesn't normally happend to me 5 days prior to my period but I'm thinking maybe its like left over from last month as I had such a weird short period 🧐🤷‍♀️ anyway I wasnt going to say anything lol but I am because I cant tell anyone irl lol my OH was like "here we go" so I'm.gonna stop talking to him too which I think.is fair after last month...I mean hopefully its something fx...but not getting my Hope's up since every month my body has done something weird to me !!

@Gigi318 thank you so much. Your words mean a lot.
It is very hard not to stress, and I stress and worry a lot in everyday life so I hate it with things like this that is the unknown and it's out of my control...

Ells - (for some reason I can't tag you ) it sounds promising! Keeping fingers crossed it's an implantation bleed and nothing more!!!

I've pretty much cleared up on the CM front - it is sometimes a little watery but not much. I never seem to have that 'sticky' stage a lot of people mention.

@Ellsbells112 oh babe, don't you worry - I think we're all there with the panicking about symptoms. Look at me - this dogey neck has got me like 👀 IS THIS A THING 🤣 something you can't not. And it's just how I'm feeling. We're always here for you to rant to and I'm the same, not telling anyone IRL and OH really doesn't want to talk about it. So here I am - you guys get all of my crazy (but mainly my positivity 💫) ALWAYS come and chat to us. Not long to wait now babe. Hopefully it means something. And last mo the were both riddled with symptoms and BFN, this month both have nothing so 🤞🏻

@Robbo93 babe that's exactly what I'm talking about. There are SO many things out of our hands in our lives, so let's take back control of the things we own. Like our bodies. We've tracked O. We've DTD. Now we let the magic happen. And it will. It's just a case of timing. It is science, after all. So now we all need a binge-worthy TV show and chocolate to see us through 🙊
I'm with you on the CM. Nothing much showing itself but when I checked my CP yesterday there was a lot of milky/cloudy CM. So who bloody knows 🙈🤣

Hey all

@Ellsbells112 hopefully that's a good sign! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 I would be feeling positive if that happened to me right now.. and it is early for that to be happening if AF isn't due for another 5 days, so defo looking hopeful for you I think.

@Happymumma29 Huge congrats to you hun, hopefully that line will be much darker in a couple of days. Have you had no symptoms whatsoever?

@Gigi318 you are always so bubbly and positive 😊 your words really do make us all feel better!!

I'm going with 7DPO today (app says 10 but I think it's wrong) and AF due same day as @Gigi318 next weds
Nothing to really report back. I am sightly crampy on and off. Although I wouldn't really describe it as "crampy" it's more like twinges or an occasional "poking" feeling. 90% on the left hand side and a very occasional twinge on the right. Pretty sure I felt like this last month though but I lose track and can't remember. other than that I am completely fine! No other symptoms at all. Everything's peachy. My next fertile window is the end of the month, so that doesn't feel like a long time away if it's not happened for me this month. Can soon get cracking again and make sure OH does as he's told this time! 😆

Hugs to you all xx

@Gems7 awww babe, you're too kind! But that has made my day, thank you chick 🥂
7DPO is exciting! I'm 8, but 29-30 day cycle so due AF same day as you. And EXACT same non-symptoms as you. Cramping but literally not even cramping, more like twinges or pulling. Again, no symptoms either. Which is good as with this stiff neck I don't think I could cope with anything else. I'd literally just give up and take to bed 🤣 (ever dramatic hahaha). So we shall see! Will you test on 23rd? I'm thinking maybe then or 22nd as I will be 14DPO then!
