TWW - testing mid November

[Forest27]

Morning!

Anyone else just starting their TWW? My cycle length varies (28-31 days). I’m due AF around 16th-19th November, which feels ages away! I don’t know how I’m going to cope. Does anyone have any tips? 😂😩

Hi, I'm just starting my TWW now so a bit later than you but didn't want to leave you unanswered! AF due around 22nd Nov. No tips as I'm a bugger for testing early but will be trying hard not to this time!

Oo me! AF due 18/11 according to Flo.

This is our first month of "not not trying" so I'm not sure exactly when I ovulated as I've not been using OPKs.

I'm in my 2ww I think I ovulated yesterday Af due round about 19th, only got coil out on the 21st October so I'm not holding out much hope this month.
Good luck to you all xx

@SMurphy91 Thanks for replying! ☺️ I’ve done a few tests already... I know I shouldn’t but it’s almost become a hobby this month! I haven’t tested for a couple of days so I’m doing good 😂

When are you due to test?

@upschittscreek ah similar to me! Are you trying for your first?

@DJmum83 You never know! How are you feeling? I swear I’ve had loads of symptoms but they’re so similar to PMS that it’s hard to tell!

I'm not 100% sure this time as I only base ovulation on cm and it was all over the place last week! I don't have a good feeling about this cycle so I'm going to wait until at least 22nd when AF should be due or i should at least have signs of AF coming by then

@Forest27
I'm feeling ok, I have had a lot of cramping since Friday/ Saturday and don't usually get cramping only on day of ovulation and day period starts so this isn't normal.
I'm also extremely crabbit lol so i just have a feeling my body is gearing up for AF.
It says on my app I can test in 8 days but I'm going to try hold out longer easier said than done.?
How are you feeling xx

@Forest27 yes this would be our first so I truly have no idea what I'm doing would this be your first too?

I feel like I'm symptom spotting like a nutter and it's probably all in my head 😂 the temptation to test is so strong but I know it's stupidly early yet!

Hello! I am in my first proper TWW. This is my first true cycle post pill. Still not sure of my cycle length but I know I am 5 days po due to OPKs. AF due on 17th but that is based on my app. I am hoping I have a decent LP and focusing on getting to know my cycle length.

Hi! I’m 4dpo and already trying to symptom spot 😂 I’m a serial tester but I’m going to try and hold out testing. I had a MMC in August and for that pregnancy I was pretty sure I was pregnant at 5dpo. I had sore boobs and cramps (which I NEVER get). Fingers crossed for all of us

@SMurphy91 I admire your willpower! I tested again yesterday I can’t help myself. Luckily it’s only cheap ones though! Don’t want to go wasting my FRERs 🙈

@DJmum83 definitely easier said than done! It’s just so hard when PMS and pregnancy symptoms are the same. I try not to symptom spot but it’s hard not to!
I’m feeling okay - I did a test last night. I swear I saw a line but it was probably just my eyes 😂 I need to wait until Friday at least but I can’t stop myself.

@upschittscreek ah me too! How long have you been trying for? I’ve wanted a baby for years but my partner is the level headed one as has always been like we need a house first, we need to be financially stable etc 😒 I didn’t think he’d ever give us the go ahead 😂 I’m symptom spotting like crazy! When are you testing?

@Catmum55566 Good luck! My friend got pregnant straight after stopping the pill. Sure I read something about you being really fertile or something 🤔

@Boredinthehouse12 same! I like your name 😂 this is exactly why I keep testing early. I’m working from home and I’m like my tests are a few metres away 👀

Sorry to hear about your MMC! It makes you all the more nervous about it doesn’t it? I’m both excited and terrified about being pregnant because of my molar pregnancy. I’ve been having a lot of twinges this month and each one makes me panic 🙈

@Forest27 - I’m due AF 17 Nov and want to know either way just to be done with the wait x

Morning Ladies, is it OK if I join? I am currently in my 2nd TWW. 3 or 4DPO (my apps cant seem to decide). Period due around 23rd Nov.

Going to try and hold out till period to test, but the earliest I will allow myself to test is 10DPO (which, who am I kidding, will defo happen) so only another 6 days to go (144 hours... i'm not counting you are..)

No symptoms as yet apart from cramping the last 2 days that are on and off. Feels like AF cramps but not as strong.

Fingers crossed for us all!! Hoping November is our month :)

Hi ladies, I hope it is alright for me to join as well. I am in my first TWW, and like @upschittscreek, it is our first time 'not not trying'. It really seems that a part of this process is the mental and emotional aspect, so doing my best to stay positive, as we are all attempting to do.

Have not done any ovulation tests or so, just using Flo, according to which I am 2dpo. Period also due around November 23rd, like @CookieMonster3001.

Thinking I am having symptoms but sure this is in my head, but still hoping not ;-). I have only bought two Clearblue sticks so will try to hold out.

Hoping this will be a lucky time for us all!

Hi all, can I join please - AF due around 22nd so have only just started my TWW, we have been TTC since July so really hoping this will be our month!xxx

@BriocheBuns I know that's it! Like if i'm not fine, it's just not knowing that kills me! Well I say fine, I'll obviously be devastated but at least I know! I feel like I'm waiting to find out if I've passed or failed an exam haha

@CookieMonster3001 Hi Cookie! You're not far behind me :) I had cramping early on, too! Never normally get that so hoping it's a sign!

Not sure if you're like me, but I keep logging into my apps and recounting how many days I have to go, as if it will suddenly be less haha I took another test last night and I swore I could see something. Even if I did, I wouldn't believe it until AF was late anyway so I don't know why I keep doing it to myself haha

@TryingToNotTry It's definitely emotional. I didn't realise how consuming it would be! When are you planning to test? I need to wait until Friday at the earliest when I'll be 11/12 DPO, but I'll probably cave tomorrow morning haha.

@hopefully2021 Good luck to you!! Did you do anything to track Ovulation?

Hi everyone.
I'm now 5 or 6 dpo the days are dragging.
@Forest27 I know what you mean I keep logging in to app likes it's going to change lol.

I'm getting quite a bit of cramping past few days. But I'm not sure if I'm just looking for them more and would usually be there.
I'm due Af 19/ 20th November.
Fingers crossed for us all.

I used clear blue advanced ovulation sticks, and had 6 days of high before I got my peak.

I'm not going to test until next Friday. Well I'm going to try.

Is this everybody 1st or 2nd? Or more.
I have 3 children already so you would think I would know but I never really tried with them.
This is my last baby I had all mine very close together and it was all a blur.
So I'm looking forward to having a baby whilst my older 3 are at school. Well fingers crossed it happens.
Goodluck all xx

Thanks @Forest27. Interesting to hear that about the pill. Fingers crossed it is a lucky month for us all!

@DJmum83 glad I am not the only one who got lots of flashing faces. I had 8 before my peak and was ready to bin it! My peak came on day 9, the last day before the pack says to give up!

I only have 1 test and I stupidly went for an expensive one, so can't really test before AF date as I don't want to waste it. Good luck to everyone!

@Forest27 this is our first month of "not not trying" if you will haha. I haven't been actively trying but not preventing either. We DTD a couple of times in the fertile window (according to Flo) so its a slim chance really since I haven't used OPKs or anything and don't know exactly when I ovulated!

One of my friends had her baby on Saturday and he's the most gorgeous little thing ever! Fingers crossed we all get our own one day soon

@Forest27 yep I defo look at my apps everyday! Annoyingly, one of them updated today so now 1 app days 3DPO one says 4DPO and the other days 5DPO haha...I am going to say I am around 4 or 5DPO...hoping its more 5 so its closer to testing, but have a feeling its more like 4...

Feel super tired today, did not want to wake up! Think I could have easily carried on sleeping for another couple of hours! Only today and tomorrow and then I have a day off work, so a nice long weekend.

@Forest27 yes, the MMC has definitely made me feel a bit more anxious. It’s one of those things that you naively think only happen to other people 😕

Have you done anymore tests?

@CookieMonster3001 we’re pretty close, I think I’m about 5/6 dpo. I’m feeling knackered too but that’s probably because DH kept stealing the covers during the night 😅

hi can i join? i'm due AF 16th Nov, but think i may have ov early as has stretchy ewcm around oct 28th. got a bfn on clear blue early on monday but was a bit early! have been sick mildly once and getting waves of sickness, boobs have ached for a while and get odd aches or twinges low down. i got excited but not holding out this month as only BD around 22-25 th as after that DH was unwell. ewcm was from around 25-28oct so HOPING we may have just caught it🤞

sorry forgot to add! had a mmc also back in july 2018 and have been trying august 2019-december 2019 then stopped trying for a while but have been trying now since May 2020. no luck yet but i'm trying to stay hopeful. i thought cm had dried up these last few days as not much evidence in panties, (TMI WARNING) however ive still felt quite wet upon touch and can sometimes feel it? sorry if this is super too much! was so hopefull and the lack of cm evidence and bfn a few days ago is just tearing all hope away. just want a little christmas miracle!

@DJmum83 I’m the same! I keep thinking is it all in my head!? But the cramps have stopped now and I get the occasional twinge 🤔

This would be my first! I’ve wanted one for so long, ever since I had MC 4 years ago. It wasn’t planned and my partner didn’t want to try again until we had our own house. He’s the more logical one 😒

I’m hoping to have 3 children but my partner would only have 1 if it was up to him! Hopefully I’ll have triplets and that will be it 😂

@Catmum55566 how are you getting on with not testing? I only have FRERs left now

@upschittscreek aww! I struggle to be around babies at the moment 😩 I really struggle after my molar pregnancy, it’s just so hard!

@CookieMonster3001 this is like me! I’m 8/9 and I’m like maybe I should just say 9 so I can test sooner 😂 I’m exhausted! And my boobs feel so swollen and heavy but it must be in my head right 😂

@Boredinthehouse12 yes I did a test today. I knew I would 😂 I had one cheapie left so I thought why not! There was a very faint shadow of a line. I’m only 8/9DPO so it’s too early anyway. I only have my FRERs now. I might do one tomorrow or Friday and then leave it until next week.

@mrsmumsy00 sorry to hear about your loss! It add an extra layer of anxiety doesn’t it? Are you doing anything to track ovulation apart from CM?

Good luck to everyone xxx

@Forest27 it really does add that extra worry!! i haven't been since we've tried in may as i found it stressed me out so much last year, but if i'm unsuccessful this cycle i think i'm going to start using opk's! xoxo

Hi ladies! I'm in my TWW, currently on 2DPO!!
