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

It's 5dpo and I feel like I'm going to come on my period any second which I'm obviously not. Tend to get pms around 7dpo so I expect I'm already out 😞

@Hopesandrainbows there's still a chance, keeping everything crossed for you!

How's everyone else this morning? Another BFN for me on a cheapie. First response due today but will refrain from testing on them until next week.

Hey ladies, just looking for some advice please? I had my Clear Blue Ovulation Test “Peak” this morning after it being a flashing “hug peak yesterday afternoon. My partner and I had intercourse last night and planning on DTD again this evening. Would this be sufficient to cover the cover Ovulation? When do you think ovulation actually occurs within the “peak” 48 hours?

This would be baby number 1 for me and number 3 for him. I want this so bad and just want to be cover all bases ☺️ Any advice/support will be greatly received.

JellyKulie · 19/06/2020 11:45

Sorry that was meant to say “flashing high”

Hopesandrainbows · 19/06/2020 12:24

@JellyKulie yes have sex tonight and maybe tomorrow morning too? I think you're supposed to ovulate about 36 hours after first peak smiley (I could be wrong but that's what I remember reading). Good luck 🤞

JellyKulie · 19/06/2020 12:26

@Hopesandrainbows Thank you so much for your advice! How are you feeling?

Hopesandrainbows · 19/06/2020 12:48

@jellykulie I'm ok, I'm 5dpo today but got period like cramps but maybe because I'm constipated (sorry tmi). Have been a little weepy today as I usually get cramps like this then I come on a week later. Though they're a little earlier than usual this month. We tried on ovulation day and the 3 days before so O, O-1, O-2,O-3. But I always manage to time it right but still no luck but here's hoping this is different! Trying to conceive our first after losing one to a miscarriage in December. Xx

JellyKulie · 19/06/2020 12:59

@Hopesandrainbows Aw I’m sorry to hear about your miscarriage and I wish you all the luck for this cycle 💛 I was 15 days late for period last cycle and I really got my hopes up. I’m going to try not to this cycle but we just can’t help it, being on our minds constantly can we, especially during this TWW.

Everything crossed for you. I’d love to hear your updates 💕

Jaym78 · 19/06/2020 13:35

@Hopesandrainbows I'm so sorry for your loss. I am thinking of you and truly hoping this could still be the month. Please update us

@jellykulie I'm sorry I'm not much good with all the tracking etc but I do hope you get a bfp soon

@mistymonday how r u today? I still have the nausea in waves. N the thoughts of some foods like melted cheese make me nauseous. My boobs were hot n painful again last night not as bad as nigh t before n a little sore today. I do have more cm yesyerday and today tho. I'm day 11 dpo today. And had soem cramps a few days ago now they've gone. I honestly don't know what to think just a case of holding out for Monday. How r u? X

Mistymonday · 19/06/2020 14:51

@Jaym78 same as you in terms of not knowing I think - another bfn for me this morning at 11dpo. Nausea still there mildly but only when i am hungry or smell something bad. Still a bit warm, boobs less hot but still tender. Still cramping. Other symptoms easing off a bit now. Starting to lose hope as not even a possible squinter yet, but trying to tell myself it’s still early. This whole wait period is pretty challenging! Fingers crossed for you that baby dust will hit you and for everyone still waiting! Flowers

@Hopesandrainbows sorry for your loss, fingers crossed you will get one that sticks soon Flowers

Jaym78 · 19/06/2020 14:53

@mistymonday... You sound just like me and we're same day dpo. Fingers crossed for us both x

Hopesandrainbows · 19/06/2020 18:49

Thanks for your lovely messages everyone🥰 I will keep you posted xx

Stabal · 19/06/2020 20:30

How can I be so utterly convinced of 2 different outcomes all at once? Convinced pregnancy whilst also convinced it's nothing. Argh! I want this cycle over to move along.

Jaym78 · 20/06/2020 08:50

Mornjng ladies... I had to come on here cycle day 26 of a, 28 day cycle. 12 day dpo on a cheap test I have the slightest slightest line. Barely visible to the eye.. I'm gonna get early detection today. I tried to take a pic but it woikdnt show on the phone its so so slight. Trying not to over excite myself.
How are you all? X

yoomoo · 20/06/2020 10:11

Morning ladies, just catching up!

@Stabal I know exactly what you mean I was the same last week before I got my BFP!

@Jaym78 yay that sounds good! I also got my BFP on day 26 of 28 day cycle, it was super faint on a IC but came out really strong on a FRER the next day!

@Mistymonday you aren’t out until AF arrives keep positive!

Hopesandrainbows · 20/06/2020 10:38

@Stabal I completely get what you mean! One minute I'm convinced I'm pregnant and the next I'm like I'm definitely not. I end up upsetting myself. I've definitely turned slightly psycho 😂

@Jaym78 that's exciting. I have my fingers crossed for you 🤞

I'm 6dpo today. Still slight backache and achy in abdomin/ pelvic area but very dull. At the moment it would just be due to progesterone anyway. Nothing would have implanted yet so I'll just have to wait it out 🙈 going to test Wednesday first thing (10dpo) as that's when I got my bfp in my last pregnancy. I have my friends over in the garden today which will be a nice distraction but annoying that they'll be on the Prosecco and I won't. I always get annoyed when I get a negative as I could have had a drink after all! I feel like I'm missing out haha but it would be worth it if it's positive.

Jaym78 · 20/06/2020 11:06

It's, so hard isn't it. I'm definitely going to do a first response in the morning.

Feeling really sickly today and going hot.

How are you all doing? My fingers are crossed for all of you, and me xx

Stabal · 20/06/2020 11:11

Done a first response this morning.. Faint positive. Can't get a proper picture. I think I'm going crazy.

JellyKulie · 20/06/2020 15:49

Do you work out DPO from the first day you receive a peak on a digital clear blue ovulation test or the say after?

I can’t believe how much I’m learning, considering I have been trying for months! I can see now how wrong I have been getting it... x

Jaym78 · 20/06/2020 16:20

Hey, @Stabal I'm the same super faint pos but On a cheapie. Gonna do a FRER first thing see what it says.

Hi @Jellykulie. I counted my dpo from my estimated ovulation. I hadn't been using the strips. I estimated ovulation on the 8th so 9th was 1 dpo. (that's how I've counted but to be honest someone may come and corrext this the ladies on here have so much helpful info much more than me).

Hppe your all well x

JellyKulie · 20/06/2020 16:35

@Jaym78 aww thank you! Let us know what your FRER says tomorrow babydust xx

Jaym78 · 20/06/2020 16:41

Aww u will do. After that very slight positive im now sat questioning if its real haha. I know its there but thinking is it real.

Roll on tommorrow morning. X

Jaym78 · 21/06/2020 09:55

Hey all... Didn't get a BFP this morning. I feel sick and sore boobs and my sense of smell is heightened. Faint positive on a cheap yesterday. Neg on a FRER today. Don't kmwo what to think with all these symptoms. Due AF tomoz so guess I'll jsit have to wiat it out . Hope your all good x

JellyKulie · 21/06/2020 10:39

Aw I’m sorry to hear that Jaym78. It’s a massive rollercoaster but I say you’re not out until AF arrives. I think I ovulated Fri night as I had cramping in bed, just hoping now I have done enough 🤞

Jaym78 · 21/06/2020 10:57

Keeping my fingers crossed for you. And for me I guess a waiting game... Still. Xxx
