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 eek exciting. I really hope it's good news for you xx

@VaggieMight how are you feeling today? Not long to wait now. We're on the less than a week countdown!

@Mich2020 thanks chick. Just hoping I'm not looking too into things or going crazy 🙈

That's definitely a positive Rumples! X

Congrats @rumples :D

And fingers crossed for you @mich2020

Thank you. Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞🏻 xx

I'm spotting quite heavy today too. Does seem prodominately pink but did have red mixed in early morning. I've also had cramps down 'there' today & lower back ache this evening. I'm 8/9 DPO today but assume AF is making her way very early x

Similar @robbo93 and @VaggieMight

I am 8dpo bloated, moody and slightly sore boobs. Not disimilar to pre AF but i dont think its coming early as i am quite regular 14 days after ovulation

Are most of you waiting for your missed period before you test? Or do you do the FRER ones? I've just read the packet and it says they are 96% accurate from 5 days before af so im just curious.

Congratulations @Rumples

I'm about 6dpo - and you bet your bottom dollar I'm testing from 2moro, hahaha

Even though I know its near impossible to turn a test... Does that stop me? No
Will I continue to waste me money? Yes

🤣🤣🤣

@VaggieMight oh I hate that - so confusing you're not quite sure what it is! Tell me about it with exhaustion. I'm shattered today, roll on Thursday for you and Saturday for me!

@Robbo93 all sounds good to me, perhaps the right kind of symptoms. Or have you ever had AF come that early before? Did you ovulate early. If 8dpo you'd hopefully have another 7 days before AF 🤞🏻

@Anny27 that would be early, I think you are Robbo are in the same boat. Me round about the same too - but I know AF isn't coming just yes as this is nothing like the start for me. So bizarre isn't it.

@Happymumma29 I'm testing on Saturday, 1 day before AF due - 2 at most. Lots of ladies test early I think, it depends if you can hold out. When is AF due?

Thankyou everyone! You're all so sweet.

I'm a bit apprehensive as looking at the test now there doesn't seem to be a line at all.

I just don't know when is the best time to do another test. I'm so impatient.

@Gigi318 its due on Saturday. I think I'm just going to do another in the morning because the wait is dragging. My boobs are getting sore though which can happen in the run up to my af so I'm starting to wonder if that's on its way.

@Gigi318 yes, I've discovered I seem to have a short lutuel phase which I hoped would improve as the months pass by & been taking pregnacare last 2/3 months which I thought would help too.

I did mention it briefly to the doctor once but he wasn't concerned and told me to stop reading into things on the internet 😂 still only 9 months TTC so can't do anything with the doctors anyway!

9/10 DPO, woke up still spotting. Think she'll arrive in the next hour or so 👎🏻

@Rumples it's very exciting indeed. Do you think you could wait until tomorrow morning to test? That gives the hcg chance to strengthen then! Fingers crossed for you babe 🤞🏻💫

@Happymumma29 so that would be around 11dpo for you?? If you can hold out til tomorrow it might be stronger? But totally get that you can't wait - this TWW is killer! Lots of cramps for me yesterday and still so far this morning, nothing like the start of AF for my usually, so 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Robbo93 lots of ladies are saying Pregnacare is playing with their cycles, are you noticing that?? Oh goodness, how thoughtful of him 🙈 it always makes me laugh when professionals are insensitive. Well, at least if nothing happens in the next few months you can start having the conversation with them. Hope it's not AF for you 🤞🏻💫

P.s. @Robbo93 has she arrived???

@Gigi318 nope, not yet. Still spotting (I think it's spotting? Nothing on pad yet there when I wipe?! & it's not quite the 'bright red' period blood yet. I'd say more of a dark pink.

Strangely tho, when I am on my period, it seems to stop when I lie down so I'm generally dry through the night no matter how heavy it is in the day. Does anyone else have this? X

@Robbo93 yes, I do. Which always freaks me out as it must pile up. I always rush to go sort myself out worrying it'll leak. But it's always full the first night, just after that I'm good and don't have to wear anything 👌🏻 Hmm, could be IB if nothing on pad but there when you wipe? They say that's usually pinkish or dark brown?? I've not had it (yet 🤞🏻) so can't speak from experience x

I didn't hold out and it was negative again. I still feel different, it's unudusm to have had these cramps for the last week but we will see.

I took Pregnacare tgriuhgh my last pregnancy but this time I'm taking Seven seas pregnancy vitamins. All the same goodness for a fraction of the cost. Also includes ginger extract x

*unusual

I had quite an early positive when I was last pregnant which doesn't help with the tww. So impatient I know x

@Gigi318 so strange. Before i was on pill yeaaaaars ago I used to bleed so heavy through the night to the point I'd soak through a maxi pad & through a blanket on top of bedsheets. Now, nothing 🤣 one extreme to the other!

I must admit I've had spotting before AF every month so far (starting around 6/7 DPO but it's not lasted this long before). Usually AF comes anywhere up to 48hrs later.. this is now day 3/4 of spotting for me x

@Happymumma29 don't give up hoping yet. I know it's torturous but we're all in this together 👍🏻

I was taking seven seas to begin with but then changed to the multipack of pregnacare and wellman just for convenience x

@Happymumma29 oh tell me about it - so hard. I don't know how I'm holding out - but all of the early BFNs make me not want to test 🙈 I guess that helps. But if AF isn't here, you're still in the game. Woohoo!! That's good, I'm just on the usual multivitamins I take with an added folic, as I don't want anything messing with my cycle 🙈

@Robbo93 hmm, that does sound bizarre! Well, if no actual AF then you're still good! Let's hope it doesn't happen! I usually spot 2-3 days before and then get almighty pain at like 3am and there she flows! But last month I had no spotting, just milk cramps mid morning then it all kicked in - I was convinced I was preg (although not quite actively ttc that month) but wasn't - it was odd! Our bodies are very strange things sometimes 😂

Hello ladies. How's everyone feeling today?? Tomorrow is the day AF should be due and no tell tell signs of her as of yet. We dtd last night and this morning (haven't seen him for a few days) haha 😂 and was quite expecting some sort of sign that she was coming but nothing other than my usual lower backache. Boobs are a little sensitive but nothing like they usually are a day before. My amazon package will arrive today was the best news I woke up too. Going to hold off until the morning (if I can) to test with a frer it's been 8 years since my last pregnancy so I have forgotten what it felt like in the really early days. Hope your all well xx
