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??

@Happymumma29 don't lose hope huni, I have literally just read an article on the Flo app about BFN's at 13DPO and it says implantation usually takes between 6-12 days after fertilization BUT it can take up to 15 days.. AND can take another 4-5 days for the hcg to show after that. So please don't feel deflated because it really is still possible, stay positive xx

@Ellsbells112 so sorry to hear that girl, but keep positive, your fertile window at the end of the month is only around the corner.. don't feel deflated, it will happen for you, for all of us 💪🏻💕

@Gems7 thanks girl...I guess I'm just struggling to understand because I caught so easily before so I'm worried now theres an issue (my partner now isnt my sons dad) but it's still early doors I'm being impatient. Are you okay? X

@Gigi318 I will if there's no sign of AF. Keeping everything crossed for you. All sounds promising so far xx

@Ellsbells112 I'm in the same boat don't worry, I understand. My DS is 11 and my OH isn't his dad either. He doesn't have any children of his own.. yet (fingers crossed) I wasn't trying to get pregnant with my DS I got caught and It's been a few months of trying this time and hasn't happened so far so I'm feeling a bit anxious and worried but I know in reality it can take time. We just have to keep trying no matter how miserable we feel when AF arrives, that's all we can do. You have had your scan you know everything is working as it should be, I went to the GP yesterday to chat about something similar just to make sure everything is ok, IT WILL HAPPEN for us.
I am okay thankyou, not much to report back, app says AF is due Monday but I'm convinced it's Wednesday so we'll see. Boobs are a bit sore and I have no sex drive at all! Which OH is complaining about 🙄 but that's all really. Few twingy cramps here and there but I feel fine. I'm not convinced it's happening for me either this month. GP did tell me that sperm can live for 7 days (I thought it was 5) so that made me feel a bit better but what will be will be. I may be joining the November bus with you 😊 xx

@Gems7 Thank you, that is really interesting. I'll try and keep positive. I'm in the same boat as @Ellsbells112 and got pregnant in one hit last time and I just assumed it would happen again so I planned my time based on that. Regretting it even though it's still early days. Thanks all and sorry to hear af has arrived @Ellsbells112. Sending a virtual hug.

@gems7 yes so you totally understand and @happymumma29 it's crazy isnt it? Hard not to get anxious when it happened so easily and now it's like everything is saying eff you lol thanks for the support guys I really appreciate it. Plus side I can drink all the wine in Italy lol Haha

I hope you both catch this month girls and you dont have to join me in the November bus! Lol xx

A doctor told me it's usually the man who is the issue 🤣 he was like make sure he hasn't been drinking beer when you guys do it etc but me and my OH rarely drink unless on holiday, dont smoke and we are really active so a big up yours to the common causes 🤣🤣

@Ellsbells112 oh babe, I'm so sorry! How are you feeling? Argh so rubbish that you sort of felt it coming on! Hope you have a lovely lazy weekend to relax with! That's excellent news for Italy. And you and OH are so good and healthy. OH and I love a bit of wine, but it comes in waves with us hehe 💖

@Gems7 thank you for sharing that lovely, it keeps me strong wanting to wait to test 🙌🏻 and you have got this girl, you have. I strongly believe the worries and anxieties don't help us in TTC, but it's just so hard to relax isn't it!! I hope you've got a fab weekend planned? 💖

@Happymumma29 thank you so, so much lovely. Still no symptoms at all. No CM on a pad/knickers since about 7pm yesterday. I did sort of check before my shower and there was a little inside, but I did sort of expect that. As I swear I keep saying, things tend to take a while to come out 🙊🙈

@Gigi318 I wish I was still in bed lol I'm pretty pissed off today but its cuz I'm in pain and obviously not that happy but it's fine, I am happy that I can try all the gorgeous wine in italy lmao hahaha next month if it does t happen there will be no plus side!! 🤣🤣🤦‍♀️ good luck for you this cycle girl. I'm gonna try and not focus on it so much next month and just get on with it I think...well I'm gonna try!! X

@Ellsbells112 aww chick 😔 I hope the pain eases off soon and you can relax at some point! Yay to Italy. It will be so much fun. And yes, you can relax then. Are you going for a week? Hopefully you can start DTD there. How romantic 💖💖💖
Thank you babe. I am hoping so too 🤞🏻 we shall see before long! That's the spirit, as relaxed as you can be is always best 🙌🏻

@Gigi318 no I'm going with my sister and son my partner will stay here but it's okay because I wont be fertile till the 30th and I'll be back on the 23rd just a nice short break 🤗 my sister is trying too but shes been trying for a year bless her. Hopefully we will both get good news at the same time that would be cute.

How are you feeling now lovely any changes? I've got everything crossed for you babes xx

@Ellsbells112 oh that's amazing. Even better. A nice girls trip. Is she going back to Aus after that? How amazing!! That's good so you're able to have some time to practice before the FW then hehehehe!! Oh love her - yes that would be so cute!!! I really hope you do!
I'm feeling good thank you. Absolutely no symptoms at all. Have had the tiniest (microscopic) bit of CM just once which makes me think it's passing now. Hopefully. No cramps, sore boobs or anything 🤷‍♀️ I'm just hoping that's a good thing 🤞🏻 I did have an odd taste in my mouth before lunch and it seems really watery all of the time like when you smell something difference - lord knows if that's even related but only thing that seems different to me 🤣🤣🤣

@Gigi318 that definitely can be something for sure! Metallicy taste was something I got when preggo but I had it while I was trying too and wasnt preggo so I'm just bloody crazy I cant deal with the symptoms!! Lool fingers crossed it's good for you! It does sound good though right the cm stopping etc!! Exciting stuff I bet you cant wait for next week!

Yeah her best friend is getting married in Italy so shell stay on there for a few more days then go back to Oz, then me my son and partner will be going to Oz middle of December woohoo! Xx

@Ellsbells112 oh really??? I thought it was just me being hungry or something 😂🙈 I don't know if it was quite metallicy. But it was definitely weird. I don't usually have tastes in my mouth 🤣 I'm actually really nervous as I just don't know what to think. I want to be positive, but also sceptical after last month!
That's amazing. How exciting! I bet you can't wait now. All packed?? I hate packing always stresses me out working out what to take 🙈

@Gigi318 I hate packing too lol I think I still need to pack a few bits 🤦‍♀️ but me and OH going on a date as we never get to anymore so while my sister is here making use of being able to go out kid free!! So I'll finish off when I'm back (we've got to leave at 4am) lol trying to decide where to eat and today is just not the day for it sooo indecisive Haha! All I want is a chocolate to be Frank!
I know it becomes scary when you was so sure of something and it doesn't workout its madness! But hopefully it's your month babes xxx
What are you up to this evening?

@Ellsbells112 awww that's so lovely. What do you feel in the mood for?? OH and I are staying in I think. He's been away for a few days so I just want a cozy one. We've had a few busy weekends and after my awful nights' sleep this week, a lazy weekend is just what I need!
Absolutely. It's one of those things where you just don't know and it's out of your hands. Which is also terrifying 💖💖💖

@Gigi318 not much planned this weekend, just a lazy day/night today and then i have to work tomorrow. Random gross question but all day today so far I've had so much creamy CM is that normal a few days before AF? I feel so "wet" down there (sorry if tmi) I can't remember if I usually have this before AF but I don't think so. Aren't we supposed to dry up? God knows! Feel like I'm going mad at times picking up on things that I probably wouldn't usually 🙄 but I was definitely walking around the supermarket earlier feeling uncomfortable because of how damp I felt down there and when I got home there was loads of CM 🤷🏻‍♀️ xx

@Gems7 that's not too bad then chick. And yes, I think I usually dry up a few days before AF. Milky style CM is a sign of PG so fingers crossed for you girl. Eeeekkk!!! I hate that feeling and you're not sure what's going on down there 😂🙈 xx

@Gigi318 really? 👀 just had a load more.. I shall lock that in a little box with the sore boobs then I can't get to them and obsess over them. Xx

@Gems7 oh lord, it's so hard not to obsess isn't it! Not much longer to wait now. I hope it's good news for both of us chick 💖💖

@Gigi318 we went to the ivy which was so beautiful just what I needed! Then we watched the joker which was really good too. I'm just sitting on the flight now to Bologna woohoo cheers to good food and good wine 😁 hope you're okay and @gems7 too?
I think for me I had loads of CM peior to af too and I kept thinking is this normal but I think everyone is different anyway?? Xx

@Ellsbells112 yeah huni I'm pretty sure it's probably normal for me too. I am convinced it is not my month and AF will arrive up to Weds. at least I won't be on my own and we'll have each other. you have an amazing time in Italy, I'm so jealous, I want to go! Xx 😚 xx

@Ellsbells112 awww fab, that sounds like just my kind of night chick! I'm so jealous right now, you're going to have a fab time. I hope little man is excited too!

@Gems7 how are you feeling this morning chick?? I slept a bit better and no more CM to report of yet. Eeek, hope this is a good thing! 💖

@Gigi318 morning huni. I'm feeling okay thankyou how about yourself? I haven't had much more CM actually since I mentioned it. I think I'm 11DPO today. My apps says 14DPO because my last 2 cycles have been 24 & 25 days.. but I'm just guessing I ovulated later this time so if AF hasn't arrived by weds I'll test first thing Thursday morning.. I really really want it to stay away. Fingers crossed for us. I think you defo have a good chance this month. I haven't had any bleeding at all yet so no IB.. kind of think in the back of my mind that I would have if I was PG.. but we'll see! Boobs are still tender more than usual and I have a weird tingling behind my belly button at the moment so I don't know what that's about haha
Hope you have a good day lovely xx

@Gems7 exciting. We're definitely getting close now! I'm going to test Tuesday all being well. Exciting. I feel normal, so that could be a good or bad thing!!! OH is making lasagne today so going to relax and enjoy the day!!
