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??

@Lauren3118 oh huni that's amazing. So happy for you. That's going to be an expensive month isn't it 🙈 good luck and congrats again. Make sure you sit back and relax now xx

How old are we all? I'm 36 but would be at least 37 by the time a baby arrived all being well x

I'm 30 but would be at least 31 by the time a baby arrives xx

Ahhh congratulations @Lauren3118 that's so exciting! Let us know if you test again tomorrow :) @Happymumma29 I'm 30 next month! 😬

Eeek just seen we're at 980. We'll need to create a new thread soon!

I'm 35, will be 36 in April xx

Good morning Girls, thanks so much I don't think it's quite sinking in yet ... but I took another test this morning and this is the results think it's definitely more prominent 🤞 xx

@Lauren3118 it's so amazing chick! How excitingggg!!! Did you DTD much over the FW?? Try to relax if you can chick. Are you going to do a digital? Xx

Congrats @Lauren3118 :) i did a digital 13dpo and it waa positive so maybe try tomorrow :D

@Lauren3118 it's definitely getting darker is that line, so exciting for you.

@Gigi318 quick question hun, I only spotted yesterday as I thought I would and AF has his me with a bang today meaning that my cycle this time was 28 days the same as you. Are your cycles always 28 days or do they vary? My previous 2 cycles were 24 and 25 days. I don't know what to go with for this month.. I'm going to try and cover all bases of course just in case and DTD as much as poss and I knew exactly when I ovulated this month so hopefully I will next month but for the purpose of my app I don't know what to record my cycle length as.. I just wondered what you did and how stable your cycles were.. xx

@Gems7 so you usually spot the day before - cool. Remind me again, have you long come off of BC? And what cycle? As it could be your cycle regulating! Mine are religiously 28-30 days. Usually 29 days to be honest, but it can be either. I'm very regular though. I had last month as 28 days BUT I am now not using the app. I'm done with the obsessing and want to try and take a relaxed approach!

I'm also having the weirdest period in history so I am concerned my worrying and overthinking has messed it up. 5-6 days of spotting starting 9DPO. Then 4 hours of cramping (which I NEVER have) followed by red blood. Persistent cramping on my left side now and the worst bloating ever. This is so unusual for my clockwork AFs and I just worry it's my obsession with TTC causing it 😞

@gigi318 if you are having one sided cramping and its intense, take a pregnancy test. Could be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy unfortunatley if the one sided cramping is quite severe and not usual

@Gigi318 thanks hunnie, he did enjoy it but as it's a city break there isnt much to do for kids! Just lots of amazing gelato Haha! How are you feeling?? Xx

@Gigi318 I agree with @Anny27 about those symptoms. Definitely go and get checked out, even just to put your mind at ease if you are experiencing something that is really out of the ordinary for you. You don't know what's going on in there. Hopefully and most likely it's nothing to worry about. Big hugs to you mrs, you are the most positive person and I don't like to see you sad. I think you are right, the stress of TTC really doesn't help. I hope things settle down for you soon.

I came off my oral contraceptive back in June and it took 42 days until I had my first period at the beginning of August. Then had a 24 day cycle, then a 25 day cycle and now a 28 day cycle so I think you are right. They have possibly just been regulating and hopefully will remain Stable at 38 days from now. I'm considering ditching the app too. I mostly use it to log symptoms and only as guidance anyway xx

Remain stable at 28 days I meant not 38 days 😂

@Gems7 I think it's good to log in the app though so you can go back and be like well I experienced that anyway so no biggie kind of thing? I dunno lol I do like to keep track though. Hopefully your cycles have patterned out

@Gigi318 sorry chick I didnt even see these messages, how are you, are you okay?? Perhaps you should do a test list to rule it out, it could be a cyst but you dont know x

Just seen your message @Gigi318 how are you feeling? That doesn't sound very nice for you! :(

@Anny27 @Gems7 @Ellsbells112 thank you ladies. I did a test yesterday after having strong pains that sort of felt like trapped wind, but not. BFN not even a squinter. So I think I've somehow effed my cycle! I was worried it was ectopic but no positive as of yet. So we shall see. Not as much pain today but still very bloated which is also odd. I think I just need to relax and take it easy. This TTC can drive your body mad!!!

How are you all xx

I'm 27 I'll be 28 when due :)

@Gigi318 glad to hear you're okay. I'm fine just waiting for the next fertile week to come! It was great being away from OH for a while we both wanted to rip clothes off 🤣🤣🥰 I'm just settling in for mind hunter. Everyone okay? @Gems7 @Laur89

@Lauren3118 your BFP is giving me hope!! Soooo happy for you 🤗🤗❤

@Gigi318 - we only DTD 3 times and not actually on ovulation day 🤷‍♀️ but did use pre seed when we DTD so that may have helped

@Ellsbells112 thank you so much

I'm routing for you all I really am 🤞🤞♥️

@Gigi318 @Ellsbells112 I'm good thanks girls, led in bed cosy watching a film whilst AF cramps are kicking my backside 😣 roll on FW
Glad to hear you're both okay 😙
@Lauren3118 I'm actually going to do the same this time and not DTD as much as I did last cycle. My Gp told me its best to just relax and do it maybe 2-3 times per week and not every/other day 🤷🏻‍♀️ she said the sperm are stronger, so I'm going to give that a go this month 😊 xx

@Gems7 That sounds like a good idea, I'd definitely recommend preseed, I know it's expensive but I really do think it's worked for us this time - maybe coincidence who knows feels great though 😂

@Lauren3118 really.. 👀 I've not heard of that before.. thanks hun I'll look into it xx

@Gigi318 @Gems7 I'm the same as you girls - I've deleted all my tracking apps and stuff, just gonna go with the what my body is doing, I feel so much more free now I've done that! 👍👍👍
