TWW. AF DUE 30/11 ANYONE ELSE IN THE TWW

[Mothertoone2]

Hey all!

AF is due for me on 30th November, I don't plan on testing early unless there is obvious signs or symptoms. I'm currently 3dpo. Even though I probably won't be able to help myself haha.

Anyone else in the same boat?

@ScaredFlamingo I have also been really sicky feeling last couple of days, though I think it might just be a bit of a winter bug 😒 and had a horrible headache since I woke up today! Well done for holding off on the tests!

@shuckle I have felt like I’ve got a mild hangover for the second half of the week and then today I thought I was going to hurl over my food.
I’m probably about 11dpo... I should hold off right??

I caved. I tested. BFN.. 😢

@ScaredFlamingo, if it makes you feel any better, I caved too! Also bfn... To be fair though we really should discount these as 1. We are testing too early and 2. Not with fmu.

Right, no more testing until Thursday, we can do this!

Can I join in? AF due 30th, TTC #1 first cycle. This 2 week wait malarkey is torture! Have a work party this Friday so will try a first response Friday morning, trying to hold out is so hard though lol. Fingers crossed for lots of BFP!

@wackadoodle84 We can do this!!

@NCON welcome! How are you finding the tww so far? Best of luck with holding off testing

Myself and @ScaredFlamingo need someone to set us a good example of resisting poas will power badly 😂

@wackadoodle84 whoopsy already failed that one POAS about an hr ago and obviously got a BFN lol. Kinda feel like now I have more will power to hold out till Friday but let's see how it goes!

TWW is very long! Trying not to symptom spot but can't help it either. Every little twinge is being analysed hard haha. Seriously did not think I would be this obsessive about TTC! Glad I found this chat of others in the same boat

@NCON this definitely seems to be the right thread for poas addicts 😂.

Am the same with symptom spotting and over analysing every little twinge, it’s like once I enter the 2ww, all sense and reason go straight out the window

I’m due on the 1st/2nd according to Flo app - but already caved and bought a pack of first response tests. Now they are in the top draw ... it’s even harder to resist trying one! Going to try hold off to sat 30th but can see myself giving in by weds this week 😬 fingers crossed for everyone else too! Xx

Welcome to the club! I am ridiculously overthinking every little symptom that is likely nothing!!

We can hold out... we’re sane, grown women.. we can do this!!! Plus I’m not buying anymore tests unless AF doesn’t turn up!!

Hi all!
I have a question for anyone who can answer. I’m 9 dpo and just had my OPK, LH test say “high”. Has this happened to anyone before?

@VaggieMight yes do not test today, just sit on your hands, you will absolutely ruin your mood and day for no reason really other then the compulsion. It is an addictive thing as well in the fact the more you do it the more you want to.

The less you test the less you feel that compulsion, or if you feel it you can at least be strong enough not to act on it. If it stops being part of the 'routine' it is easier to break the habit of doing it.

Be strong and you can always test in the morning if you must but don't do this to yourself today, you and your partner deserve a break on a Sunday 🧘‍♀️

Hello all.

Sorry been so quiet been so busy, moving house is hard work haha.

So I'm now 7dpo and have literally no symptoms at all. I doubt I conceived this month we only managed to DTD the day of ovulation. Got my opk on 16th and we did the deed on 17th at like 1am haha.

Has anyone else got any symptoms at this stage?

@VaggieMight yeah I agree with @ChampooPapi sit tight and just enjoy your day and worry about it tomorrow if there's anything that needs worrying about. Keep yourself busy and disttacted. Will be hoping and praying the doctors and nurses will be knowledgable and know how to help and advise you if needed and hoping you can find peace at what seemes a confusing and frustrating time. We are all here for you whatever the outcome

Evening ladies! @ScaredFlamingo @Wackadoodle84 I am 100% yet to POAS, so I can be the voice of encouragement - if I can do it, you can!! 😁
I went into town for some lunch with my mum today and I dragged her around superdrug and boots looking at tests 😂 I got myself a pack of FRERs and also a pack of 3 cheapies from Poundland but I have promised myself they cannot be used until the 2nd, if AF doesn't come in the meantime! I am 8dpo today and got plenty of creamy CM and also really painful nipples this evening - sort of a white hot pain, like they're being pinched really hard. Staying optimistic and hoping that's a good sign! Any symptoms anyone else?

I've got the same as you @shuckle out of nowhere today I've had a lot of CM almost like snot, it's stretchy and has a yellow tinge. I've also had a dull achy feeling in the bottom of my stomach. Normally around 7dpo I never get CM I'm always dry but this afternoon it hasn't stopped. Maybe it's a good sign I don't know x

Well done @Shuckle for not testing!!

I’m feeling pessimistic today. I am 12 dpo, AF due on Wednesday or Thursday. I woke up with some hangover type feelings, feeling like crying and queasiness but am now Im feeling better free except some pressure in my womb - it’s not quite cramping, and radiates to my lower back and top of my thighs.. I am also have a few shooting pains in my boobs.
All my cm has stopped today. Weirdly my lips are super plumped today (no idea what that’s about!).
I have a feeling I’m on my way to AF starting.

You ladies amaze me! Such willpower! I’m going crazy right now, am uncertain on my ovulation date as firtile CM lasted 4 days but I’m anywhere between 7-11 DPO. My symptoms are like nothing I’ve ever experienced- low back ache, mild stomach cramp. That pinky CM a few days ago. Now have sore boobs and very emotional. I’m convinced something is different this month BUT just did a FRER and BFN 😢. Do you think I’m out? It’s all so frustrating.

I'd personally still have hope till AF comes 🤞🏼

How's everyone holding off with POAS? I was so tempted last night that I read the leaflet of FRER just so I'm 100% prepared to go later this week 😂 AF due Sat but supposed to be going for work drinks Friday! I'm afraid to drink during TWW just in case 🤞🏼

Morning! @NCON I'm still resisting! 9DPO today. Ooh that's a good idea, read the leaflet! Or maybe if the stick is in my hand it might be too tempting 😂 AF due Sunday for me according to my app (30 day cycle) though my cycles are usually 26 days so actually could be anytime from tomorrow. maybe I have a short luteal phase - I've always assumed my ovulation was CD13 as per the app and first time testing showed CD16, so not sure.

@ElizabethBennet3rd you are absolutely not out!!! Remember you said you aren't sure on ov day, if you are 7dpo - the egg implants between 6-12dpo so you might not have even implanted yet!! Stay positive, those BFNs don't mean anything yet x

So after my pessimism I have woken up with slight lower back and abdomen pressure (goes into my thighs), nausea and an acid taste in my throat that gets a bit metallic I think (May be imagining)... I am now 13 dpo and AF due in 2/3 days.
Should I start getting hopes up or not...?

@ScaredFlamingo get your hopes up, no - but stay optimistic 😊 I have a really weird taste in my mouth today too actually.. slightly metally, but actually would be better described as fizzy! Almost like I can feel bubbles fizzing on my tongue, my coffee felt so strange. Aren't we all a bunch of wallies 😂
