1dpo anyone else starting TWW?

[Lily2020]

Im so very impatient!!

@Lily2020 we've survived another day haha! I've been in work today. So that's kept my mind away from wanting to symptom spot - I've not had chance to even think about it whilst working. So that's my one positive of the day! How you feeling?

Hi ladies good luck for the future BFPs! Could I join I need some advice x

@Lmac2018 absolutely lovely! We are all in this together!

So, this month me and my partner weren't planning on trying until my birthday which is in 4 days. So anyway, the time my period is supposed to come around and it doesn't, then 3 days late is when she decides to show her face... or so I thought bare in mind I usually have very painful and heavy periods that last 7 days and sometimes a little more as it tapers off. But this period only last 3 days and was Brown discharge the whole way through, enough to wear a pad but not enough to even change it more than once which I did just because I felt dirty not changing it. Anyway so this 'bleeding' started Friday and ended Monday and it's now wednesdah and still getting negative tests... I keep feeling like I see something but my boyfriend told me he can't see anything so I'm just taking that as I have line eyes. I don't know how to explain how I'm feeling right now I keep getting this little shiver down my spine every time I think to myself that I'm pregnant and I just KNOW... Like i don't want to sound crazy but I just feel pregnant. I've had weird twinges and stuff and feel a little bloated but absilulty nothing else. This is the test from TODAY

Hi @Lmac2018 I cant see anything but it might still be too early. Do you have any frer tests?

Yesterday was a rubbish day for me. Had cramping all day and felt just 'meh'. I'm only 5dpo today so would be too early for pregnancy symptoms so I'm guessing I'm just sensitive to the rise in progesterone.

Hows everyone else?

@Lmac2018 I can’t see anything on those tests. But it may well be that it’s too early to detect yet.
I know how you feel, I just feel
Bloated at the moment and having the odd twinge and it’s hard not to symptom spot more.

@Snapper81 I feel just like you. I feel tired and bloated, but like yourself I know it’s too early for anything to be detectable yet but waiting another week is going to be torture!

can't see anything on those tests @Lmac2018

@Snapper81 @Rainbow1991 I'm the same had a twinge earlier & thought oh is that implantation!! But realistically when I think back to my 1st pregnancy I had zero actual pregnancy symptoms till about 6 weeks when I had headaches but again think that was caffeine withdrawals 😳😂

@Lily2020 After telling myself I wouldn't symptom spot - I'm now doing the complete opposite. I've made notes on my period tracker and even if it isn't a BFP next week, at least I can see if there's any similarities or differences each month!
Haha I know what you mean re caffeine withdrawal, as a nurse I basically live off coffee but I'm trying my best to stick with my Nespresso in the morning and sometimes one more during the day on shift but it really is difficult!
Its weird because with every pregnancy ive had until the MMC, ive had different symptoms so its really difficult to try and pin point whether they are 'symptoms' or not! I'm just so inpatient. I know for a fact I'll be using my FRER next week! haha

Hi ladies 👋

I'm 3dpo BUT we were only able to dtd once l. I got my surge on LH strip Sunday lunchtime but we weren't able to dtd until Monday night the positive is my husband and I had a long chat and agreed from next month we will start trying again properly (following miscarriage at the end of last year). So I feel glad we're both at least on the same page now. So I would love to join your chat even though it's very unlikely to happen for me this month. Good luck everyone!

@raspberryjamlove hi 👋🏼 well I'll keep my fingers crossed for you as it only takes the once 😊

@Rainbow1991 I know, I'll 100% be testing too, there's just no stopping me I'm addicted 🙈

I know you must think I'm going crazy about this but honestly, I feel like I am... thus period thing just doesn't add up, I've had 7 day periods my whole cycles I just doesn't add up

Can I join too please?? TTC cycle1... positive ovulation on dips from 28th although never had a peak on CB... just flashing smily faces. I think I would have had it but didnt realise the first test doesnt work so never repeated it.

Keep testing everyday @Lmac2018! Fingers crossed for you. Have you been very stressed? That’s stopped my periods before.

I am on anywhere between DPO 1 - 5 as had some spotting yesterday. Feel like time is going nowhere!

Last month I went absolutely crazy testing and I turned into an obsessed woman! I've never been like that! I have a lovely little toddler and fell pregnant last year but unfortunately ended in mmc, but both those times I just waited until my period was late and tested...I've become a testing monster now

I have anxiety but I've had that for the last few years and this has never happened usually when I'm really anxious around the time my period is due it brings it on quicker. But this period was so weird it was just grown spitting that only lasted around 3 days maybe even less, did another test today and negative and opks are also negative thought I'd try one just incase as sometimes I seem to ovukate straight after my period x

5dpo for me today, I’m trying to be more relaxed about it but always start symptom spotting during the tww. Stuck in the house, there is nothing else to take your mind off it so just counting down the days.

Brown spotting * my bad

Hi ladies.

Another day closer for us all! How's everyone feeling?

I have definitely become that woman is now trying to symptom spot everything 🤦🏻‍♀️😂
My FRER arrived from amazon yesterday and I've got my cheapies at the ready beforehand. I'm only 5DPO today so I highly doubt it's any pregnancy symptoms as it's too early for implantation yet. But I feel absolutely knackered. But that could well be work taking it out of me and I still feel bloated! I've had the odd twinge like pain in my lower pelvis but that's it.

Remember girls it only takes that one time to hopefully get that BFP!

I'm just so thankful I have this forum to be able to just say it how it is/ how I'm feeling because I'm sure my partner thinks I'm crackers hahah

Hi Rainbow 👋

It's so nice to have others to chat to...I also don't want to talk too much about it with DH, not the crazy side of testing and checking dpo anyway hehe!

Hope you get some more energy soon x

I'm the same. I'm not really saying anything to DH. I'm getting lots of mild cramping and my progesterone is rising nicely but he doesn't know these things. I really dont want to get his hopes up.
I'm trying to prepare myself for a BFN and telling myself that I can have a curry and wine so the 11th will be a good day, either result.

5dpo for me today, no symptoms whatsoever but don't think there would be at this stage! So desperate to be next week already!! To test but also to be a week closer for the world to be back to normal, seriously getting me down being cooped up even though I now it's essential, my 20 month old has had enough of just seeing us day in day out & think she's hitting terrible twos just to add to my mood 🤦🏻‍♀️

6dpo for me now, I feel very tired this morning, totally drained. I woke up with some sharp stabbing pains and have had some mild cramps but every other month I’ve had slight cramps and think it could be implantation but looks like that’s normal for me before AF is due. I hate symptom spotting and getting my hopes up but you can’t help it!

Yes the wait is awful and then if you get a bfn it's the next waiting game till ovulation - always waiting on something

I too am going crazy and we have a near 2 year old who is just starting to lose it too - wonderful! Lol

This morning had a big rush of something come out from down there, rushed to the toilet thinking it's my period and it was lots and lots of stretchy cloudy discharge but did a opk and negative so old
