Anyone starting their TWW now?

Hi Ladies,

Just wondering if anyone is starting their TWW now? I got my peak on OPK yesterday around 2pm, another peak this morning but not as dark as yesterday! Think I have ovulated today (had some weird pains and cramps!) so now it’s a waiting game!

AF should be due on 19th/20th June but this is my first proper cycle since a MC back in April so not 100% sure if I’m going back to 28 days.

Anyway some TWW buddies would be lovely to keep ourselves sane Grin

I was like that yesterday, couldn't stop going the toilet all day. My DP told me it was because I had drank more than usual. Its crazy isn't it how little you remember what is normal and what isn't

4 DPO today, yesterday I felt like I spent half the day in the bathroom I was there a lot! I felt a lot of cramping in the evening and even discomfort in my lower back. This morning DH noticed that my abdomen was really hot but the rest of my body temp was normal, so this was strange. I’m hoping I’ll be implanting successfully, trying to take my mind of this TWW but every thought keeps shifting back to this lol

Hi everyone, hope you're all keeping well
Currently 7dpo (I think) had my surge on my OPK on the 3rd.
I have been having mild intermittent cramping.
Today I came back from a run (as normal - didn't over exert myself or anything) and I had to lie down on the floor, I had a really bad stabbing pain to my right pelvic area and felt like I was going to faint.
I'm wondering if it could be implantation.. haven't had any spotting. Just creamy cm since yesterday, but cervix remains really high out of reach, so hopefully that's a good sign!

Hi ladies. 4dpo here. Nothing to report. I feel like we timed it well this month but that overriding feeling of it won't happen takes over 🙄. Anyway how is everyone? I'll be testing Father's Day at the earliest, anyone else? Xx

SVC11 · 12/06/2020 08:29

Hey, I'm considering testing fathers day but I will be 12 dpo and I've seen so many false positives or negatives on here from testing early I don't think I'd believe what was on the test. But it would be amazing to tell my dh on that day if I was pregnant. I only have clear blue digital tests in atm. Anyone know how sensitive they are?

Mistymonday · 12/06/2020 14:00

5dpo, feeling really tired the last few days despite sleeping for 8 hrs but could be due to working late a lot this week. Also had cramps last night that hurt quite a lot - I do get ovulation pain normally so it could he that but the timing seems wrong. Gah I feel like i wish I could ignore it all and forget for 2 weeks! Grin

LittleTooMuch · 12/06/2020 16:16

@Mistymonday- if only we could blank out symptom spotting for 2 weeks or fast forward, it would be so much easier wouldn't it!

Mistymonday · 12/06/2020 18:12

Yes! A FF button that works in the 2ww, sounds great :)

LittleTooMuch · 12/06/2020 18:32

If only!!!

Flossy20 · 12/06/2020 19:21

Evening ladies, am I glad it's Friday!

I know it's way too early as I'm only 4dpo but I am so tired today, had to have a nap after work and that never happens! This time next week I'll be thinking about testing I think 😊

yoomoo · 12/06/2020 23:03

Hi all, how are you all doing? Sorry I disappeared earlier in the week super busy at work!
Thank god it’s Friday, AF is due in exactly 1 week for me!
Obviously in full symptom spotting swing, I’m 7DPO according to my apps but 5DPO based on OPKs and EWCM. I’ve had a whole range of stuff this week: stabbing pains low down in my tummy, upset stomach, incredibly sore and heavy boobs plus a terrible backache. I do remember all of this from last time I was pregnant but trying not to get my hopes up too much. Oh and beyond exhausted to the point I had a little nap at 3pm today, I just couldn’t do anymore sitting at my desk so plonked myself on the sofa, also slept most of this evening on the sofa in front of TV. Oops! I had about 8 hours sleep last night so I can’t be THAT tired. Anyway in bed now and awake but still knackered, looking forward to a good sleep tonight!
Think I will test on Monday where I’ll be either 10DPO or 8DPO but know it’s likely to be negative. I did have a big dip in my temperature yesterday which could be implantation but not sure yet will need to monitor my temps more!

Who else is planning to test soon? Any other symptom spotters?

SVC11 · 13/06/2020 06:55

@yoomoo you just described me. I have stabbing pains, back ache, headaches but at only 5dpo i can only put it all down to coming off the pill. I haven't been off it in so long I have no idea what symptoms are just my body lol. I think I will test fathers day with a frer I will be 12dpo (I think) 3 days before af is due.... Hmmm might be too early?

BMWL · 15/06/2020 17:37

I'm currently 11dpo and couldn't help but test.
What do you think?
Top test is this morning, and bottom is thus afternoon.
Very very faint line. Fingers crossed!x

Anyone starting their TWW now?
bluebubbles12 · 15/06/2020 19:19

@BMWL I think I can see a really faint line! More so on the bottom test, but that might just be the photo. Tentative congratulations! Will you test again tomorrow? Any symptoms?

yoomoo · 15/06/2020 19:52

Eeek @BMWL I can see a line on both of them! Definitely test again tomorrow or if you can wait Wednesday then you should have a much stronger line.
I’m currently 9DPO and resisting the urge to test Grin got a double pack of FRER as want to see good line progression.
Think I’ll do my first one Wednesday morning which is 11DPO!
Symptom wise I’ve got backache, bad nausea, cramping yesterday but that’s gone today and earlier I had a headache! Oh and OMG my nipples are so sore and my boobs feel really heavy but all of those things could be AF!
Hate this part of the TWW!
How is everyone else getting on?

OP posts:
BMWL · 15/06/2020 20:15

Thank you!!
I did a frer this evening just to see! It's still very faint but most definitely a line there!
Let's hope it sticks! 🤞🏻 xx
My only symptoms at the moment are being really lethargic and sore boobs.
I woke on Saturday morning and had a sharp pain and an episode of diarrhoea so I'm thinking that was probably implantation.. so far no spotting.
Feels quite nervous as my last pregnancy was ectopic, so just have the one tube left. Let's hope this one is in the right place XX

Keeping everything crossed for you @BMWL! Keep us updated!

10DPO today with AF due Friday, I usually have spotting the day before full flow so will see if that happens on Thursday. Think I’m going to try and hold off testing for now as it just stresses me out. If nothing happens Thursday then I’ll test first thing Friday Smile
Having a few shooting pains but only for a few seconds, boobs feel heavy but only nipples sore. Keep prodding them to make sure Grin still feeling very nauseous and I think CM is making an appearance which is weird so close to AF!
Hope everyone else is doing ok x

BMWL · 16/06/2020 10:38

All sounds like promising signs @yoomoo
I did a digital this morning with SMU and I got my bfp.
Contacted the doctor and they'll get me in for an early scan probably end of next week, when I'm about 5 weeks just to make sure it's in the right place. A lot of anxiety surrounding it since the last pregnancy resulted in me losing a tube.
Keep us updated @yoomoo xx

KaptenKrusty · 16/06/2020 10:44

Hey everyone! Just wanted to jump in and join you all!

I'm now about 8 days past Ovulation - wondered if anyone has any experience with implantation bleeding??

Since yesterday i've had pink spotting - again this morning - not heavy at all, and only usually appears for a short time then it's gone!

I never have spotting so this was strange! My period is not due for another week!

Gawd - the suspense waiting for this two weeks all the time kills me!

bluebubbles12 · 16/06/2020 11:06

Yay @BMWL congratulations!! How amazing to see it written in words!

bluebubbles12 · 17/06/2020 08:48

Apologies if this posts twice, I just tried from the app but it didn't appear.

I got my BFP this morning!! 😃 now feeling sick and nervous!!

BMWL · 17/06/2020 08:57

@bluebubbles12 wow amazing!! Congratulations!! I'm nervous too. We can be nervous and sick together 😂 xx

Stabal · 17/06/2020 08:59

All these BFPs make me so happy! Congratulations everyone! Currently waiting anxiously to test. One minute I'm convinced it's pregnancy the next I'm convinced it's just AF building for a nasty cycle from a MMC. The waiting is awful!

yoomoo · 17/06/2020 13:32

Excellent @BMWL it’s so nice to see the words isn’t it! I will deffo order some digitals to see those words. Glad they are going to see you for an early scan, when I get my BFP (hopefully this week!) also going to call EPU to see if they’ll scan me for reassurance they were so lovely hope they’ll say yes! Totally with you on the nervousness with previous MC, keep us updated after your scan Smile will keep everything crossed for you.

@KaptenKrusty I personally haven’t had implantation bleeding myself, had a MC in March and didn’t have any then so must be one of the ladies who doesn’t get it. From what I’ve read though that sounds like a positive! I’d give it 3 days after the bleeding to take a test, HCG should be detectable by then Smile

Eek @bluebubbles12 excellent lines! What DPO are you?

Same here @Stabal I am desperate to test but want to wait to avoid disappointment. Nearly tested this morning but quickly went for a wee so I wouldn’t be tempted Grin

I’m now 10 or 11DPO (bit sketchy as not sure if I ovulated on the first day of my peak or the day of the weaker peak!) still have sore boobs and my temperature shot up again this morning so hoping that’s a good sign. Had a look back at last month and my AF arrived on a Friday (also due this Friday) my temperature dropped on the Wednesday but as it’s gone up again I’m really hoping that’s a good sign. Tempted to test tomorrow but will try and hold off for Friday!

Stabal · 17/06/2020 13:38

@yoomoo that sounds very promising for you! I didn't have implantation bleeding with my miscarriage either but had brown spotting a few days ago so I'm definitely on edge. Took a cheapie strip test this morning and got BFN. Not holding out much hope this month but hey ho, we will see!
