Yet another TWW thread (AF early October)

[Raizelrea]

I can't seem to find anyone on the same timing - any ladies expecting AF early October?

I'm only 1 DPO with AF due 6 October, anybody else just starting their TWW to buddy up with?

@Raizelrea I'm 6dpo today i'll be 9dpo on Friday which is when i'll know i'll cave ha ha.

@SallyWallyDoDah hope your AF stays away.

Ive had a few sharp pains in my abdomen yesterday / today and been feeling slight AF crampy feeling? don't know what that might be.

and now starts the crazy symptom spotting

Mind if I join?

I am due my period this Friday. Going to test Thursday. I've been obsessing over symptom spotting which is driving me mad! I've been having lower back pain since 4dpo and light bleeding each day since then! Very light bleeding. I wasn't sure if this could be implantation bleeding but could it really last this long?
Has anyone else had this?

Hi,
Mind if I join. My AF is due 6th October and I am 10 days post ovulation. I had a miscarriage 4 months ago and this is first time trying since ( haven’t felt ready). We did the deed on the day of ovulation..... literally 3 hours before I ovulated. I will not test until the 7th October. Unless AF shows up.

@HayleyD84 I hope so too!

@Confused38 sorry about your loss 😞 hopefully this will be your month. I think sounds like you have a solid plan and do right waiting until AF.

I get too excited and then feel disappointment. Last month I could have sworn I was pregnant. Had all the symptoms and got a BFN!
My AF has still stayed away. Due tomorrow so not sure yet xx

So sorry for your loss @confused38 fx this month is your month

@HayleyD84 I'm 6dpo too. I was planning on waiting until saturday but i 100% know I'll cave and test Friday. Hope we can both update this thread with our BFPs

@LetMeIn321 it could be implantation bleeding. I've seen some people say they bled all the way through their pregnancy/ first trimester

@SallyWallyDoDah fx for you hun

When's everyone else planning on testing?

@imnewtothis If they continue pregnancy is more likely because it means you still have high progesterone levels which would have stopped by 10 DPO in a usual cycle. Can definitely attest to this just based on last cycle alone - I had heaps of symptoms but they all went away at 10 DPO and I got AF a few days later.

@HayleyD84 You're halfway through the wait then, not bad! You can do this! Honestly I don't know about cramps and twinges, I get them all the time. I have been having weird pulsing pains in my breasts since yeasterday which seems new, but I suppose it could just be bad posture.

@LetMeIn321 Not long to go for you then, only a few days till test time. Unsure about the bleeding but by Friday you will know if it's stopped or turned into AF - you're on the last stretch of the cycle, hang in there!

@Confused38 Sorry about your MC, hope your rainbow baby comes soon! Sounds like you got the timing spot on! How do you know the exact time of ovulation if you don't mind me asking?

@MrssC92 I think I'll test Friday or Saturday too - though that will be 12 or 13 DPO for me. 9 DPO today and resisting testing so far, I figured at this point no matter if I got a faint positive or a negative I'd end up testing again later in the week. So I'm trying to wait till it will be a more definite answer.

@MrssC92 @Raizelrea

Yes no long now .. just a couple of days. I can't wait but also dreading it. Getting a BFN is just devastating. I was pregnant 9 months ago but miscarries. I remember then having symptoms such as really sore and heavy boobs, full of a cold, and completed shattered. This time I've just had a painful lower back and bleeding. Really hope it's a good sign. X

@raizelrea wow that is interesting, I have felt so rubbish today, really dizzy and light headed hope I'm not coming down with something. How are you doing? I want to test Friday too, but I also really want to test tomorrow which I know is a bad idea

@LetMeIn321 Sorry to hear that, gt my fingers crossed for you! How many DPO are you?

@imnewtothis Yeah it's fascinating how our bodies are - and how much we manage to filter it out when not TTC! Hope your fatigue and lightheadedness are a good sign! I'm feeling quite normal to be honest, some nausea but I think yesterday was worse which is not promising. I have been getting weird pain in my boobs today and yesterday though (it's on an off, and in one boob at a time) - could just be my posture being crap though!

@Confused38 yes I'd like to know how you know the exact time too as this seems like you could time it even better!

@MrssC92 thank you. I'm expecting AF tomorrow... if she doesn't turn up tomorrow or Thursday I'll test then

X

@Raizelrea
12dpo. I wanted to test today but my partner is adamant we wait til Thursday this time. I always try to push it to do the test early...!

@Raizelrea @SallyWallyDoDah

Well my app said I was due to ovulate on the 21st September. But we didn’t dtd until 22nd September. To be honest I thought I was out so just accepted that it probably wouldn’t be my month. But a couple of hours after dtd I had ovulation pain on my left side. Lasted about 24 hours on/off. Now I don’t always get ovulation pain every month so just assumed I had ovulated on 21st so I felt a flutter of hope when I got the pain on the 22nd.

@Confused38
That's ok though. The egg lasts 12-24 hours after ovulation so there is 5 days before when the sperm can survive and the one day after when it has a chance to meet the sperm :) x

Hi All, do you mind if I join? AF is due 8th, currently 9 dpo according to Flo app. 2nd cycle of trying but only DTD twice during fertile window this month so not feeling very hopeful!

@whambam89
Hello! Sperm can live up to 5 days in the uterus so it only takes once really. Twice is good! x

Made it to 10 DPO. Feel like the last couple of days will really drag. Don't think I have a lot of symptoms so I may be out this month.

How is everyone?

Hey,

Had cramps last couple of days (which have stopped) and now my boobs are very sore (but they are always sore just before AF)

I can't help but feel really hopeful this month, which isnt good because it will set me up for a big fall.

Only 7dpo today! I'm thinking of testing on Friday (even though I know I should wait lol).

@LetMeIn321 what is the bleed like? is it red or pink? x

Is a bad head ache a good sign? 🤣 that and the occasional day of sore boobies is all I’m experiencing... I did bloat last night but think that was my own doing from trying to hold a wee in for too long travelling with work.

Not long left to wait ladies!!

@raizelrea sometimes no symptoms is the best sign.. I remember being so sure with DD1 that I wasn't pregnant that month that I got really drunk 3 days before my bfp 🙈 good luck, not long until you can test 🤞

@Letmein321 let's hope so! If I get my BFP this side of Christmas I'll be happy but trying not to put too much pressure on myself!

How are you feeling today? When do you think you'll test?

@HayleyD84
The bleed is very light brown. I still have it but tested today and BFN. I'm not sure if the bleeding is due to stress as that has happened before when my dad died. Also I am on DHEA recommended by my fertility doctor and that can cause irregular bleeds. I didn't know that until today. x

@whambam89
I caved and tested today - BFN. Feel so disappointed but will try again. I've been reading It Starts With The Egg and have used a lot of information and advice from that. So hopefully something will happen soon x

@whambam89 Are you due to test soon? How long have you been trying if you don't mind me asking? x

@letmein321 sorry to hear that! Fingers crossed for you this month 🤞

According to flo app AF is due on the 8th I think, so will probably try and hold off until then. It's only our second cycle of trying so I'm trying not to get too caught up in everything. How about you?

May I join? I'm due on 5 October. Starting to test tomorrow. No symptoms 😒 we are trying for baby #2 so I guess no symptoms is not my scenario as last time I had loads. Really hope to see many // here! Fingers crossed!
