Anyone else in the dreaded tww?
I'm currently 2DPO. Would be nice to chat to others in the same waiting game to keep us sane!

Morning ladies. 9DPO for me today. Tested with a internet cheapie this morning again using fmu - bfn obviously! Really don't have much hope for the this month. But my frers arrived yesterday so I'm going to hold off unsung one until Thursday maybe Friday xx

@Emmie12345 I am usually very regular and will start pre AF spotting Sun night/Mon (28 day cycle).

@mommyofone2019 well I am definitely not testing until tomorrow when my tests arrive as I am out! That will be 4 days before AF due but I bought a different brand - they had good reviews. Supposedly a FRER equivalent but £10 for 5. I won't need more than that to see me through to the arrival of AF!

mommyofone2019 · 18/11/2020 08:53

@madeinthe80z ah really, what tests are these?

How is everybody doing? Im due AF on Monday, so did a cheapie test this morning.... BFN obviously 🙄 I've had a lot of little pinches and twinges over the past 5 days but maybe I've just not noticed them before. We DTD on ovulation day only so I'm hoping for good things.... How's everyone else?

madeinthe80z · 18/11/2020 09:54

Tried to post a pic not sure whether it will work. They are called Baby Plan 5 pack 10mlu

mommyofone2019 · 18/11/2020 10:03

@madeinthe80z thank you I'll have a look!

Was looking back on photos from when I conceived my daughter in 2018.
As I said earlier in the post I had implantation bleeding at 5dpo and did a cheapie strip test on 10DPO followed by a frer the same day.
I will post a photo of both the strip test and frer to show you the difference in the lines!
Just shows you how different the visibility of the lines are!

I had sharp stabbing pains in my right lower abdomen last night and some mild lower back cramps. Still got lower back cramps this morning (not as bad as period pain just kinda there) and the odd twinge on the right lower abdomen still. Do we think this is a good sign? Trying not to freak out.

madeinthe80z · 18/11/2020 10:36

Could well be a good sign @KitQ! I had cramps all through my first trimester with dd, including TWW 🤞

My boobs are hurting this morning...why can't I remember if this is normal?! Why don't I know....so annoying!!

KitQ · 18/11/2020 10:56

@madeinthe80z oh gosh don’t. I’m so scared to feel hopeful. I didn’t think I’d feel anything!

madeinthe80z · 18/11/2020 11:07

@KitQ I know I know. To be honest from what I remember, it really is true what they say, you feel pretty similar to the lead up to AF. Very annoying!!

mommyofone2019 · 18/11/2020 11:08

I'm getting stomach cramps again today and still feeling a pain in my lower left side.
Why is the tww so torturous 😞

Really want to test tomorrow using a frer but I think I'm going to hold off until Friday.

I am not gonna kid myself- I will be straight to the loo tomorrow as soon as my mate from Amazon knocks on!!

mommyofone2019 · 18/11/2020 11:19

@madeinthe80z what dpo will you be tomorrow?
Have you been feeling any symptoms or feeling any different?

OP posts:
madeinthe80z · 18/11/2020 12:16

@mommyofone2019 No idea unfortunately. All I know is we DTD on CD 13 and CD 16 and I had EWCM CD 12-18, which seemed really long this month?! I have a 28 day cycle and AF is due Monday. I remember when ttc our first, I usually ovulated CD17-18 but no idea whether this has changed now. Apparently it can 'reset' after giving birth and we have only been using condoms so no hormones in me.

madeinthe80z · 18/11/2020 12:20

@mommyofone2019 symptoms wise I am mega symptom spotting, I would probably have had all of this anyway!! But I've had cramps, sharp pains on left and right sides, bleeding gums, nasal congestion and sore boobs (on and off)

How about you? Anything other than cramps?

mommyofone2019 · 18/11/2020 13:29

God I'm really getting f the urge now to test using a frer!!

@madeinthe80z nope not really much symptom wise other than a few cramps and pains in my lower left side xx

OP posts:
Boredinthehouse12 · 18/11/2020 13:57

@KitQ sorry for the late reply, I was 10/11dpo at the time so pretty much thought I was out.

I’ve just done another test and it looks positive to me. I have absolutely no symptoms, Zero, Zilch, Nada so I’m trying not to get my hopes up. With my first pregnancy in June (ended in MMC) I had nausea and sore boobs very early on but this time there’s nothing.

I think I need to retest in a few days to make sure it’s not a fluke.

The dreaded TWW!
mommyofone2019 · 18/11/2020 13:58

I CAVED! And bfn obviously! And now I'm annoyed that I've wasted a frer!
not testing now until Friday 😞
