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!

Hi all,

Just an update from me really, AF hasn't come although i tested this morning and BFN.

That being said I ovulate late, I ovulated on CD 25 of a 30 day cycle and I'm now CD 32 so if my workings are right it would mean I'm 7dpo which is probably too early to show on a 20miu test. Would a frer show positive at 7dpo?

My CM remains white and liquid,it's usually sticky and thick by now at this point in my cycle and by nipples are really sore and sensitive.

How are you all getting on?

mommyofone2019 · 23/11/2020 10:16

Morning ladies! Sorry was quiet and wasn't on yesterday. I've ditched the pregnacare and amazon delivered my folic acid tablets yesterday. And another tablet (can't think of the name, something Luisa zizzman recommends). Af was due today/tomorrow but arrived Saturday 🤷🏻‍♀️ cycles have been all over the place since starting to take the pregnacare. This is the shortest it's been though. And today af looks like it's on the way out already, after 2 days. Seriously no idea What the hell is going on.

Hope everyone is ok?

Hey @mommyofone2019 hopefully you will get a more straightforward cycle this time! You mentioned you are still breastfeeding. I remember getting slightly shorter periods in the earlier days when baby was feeding loads. Has your daughter perhaps increased feeding recently? Just a thought 🤷‍♀️
Still no AF for me. Keep going to check. I think I have stressed it into hiding this month 😂

S345 · 23/11/2020 10:38

Morning, hope everyone's ok! AF turned up today, must not drive myself mad with symptom spotting next month!!! Onto the next.... gonna try and follow the SMEP to a tee this month 🤞🏻

Twinkle1989 · 23/11/2020 17:36

@madeinthe80z the baby plan tests arrived today - I thought I'd bought the FR copies but apparently not so I have the strips - suppose they are the same thing!! Here they are - baby plan is the pink one!

I've read on so many posts about Pregnacare causing problems 😭 I'm glad I couldn't remember to reliably take mine - perhaps folic acid is best 🤷🏻‍♀️

Good luck everyone! ❤️

The dreaded TWW!
Highfalutinlootin · 23/11/2020 22:06

AF came for me today a day early so I'm officially out. Ladies what cocktail should I have to console myself tonight? I'm thinking a dark and stormy.

madeinthe80z · 24/11/2020 07:02

Ooh what cocktail did you go for?! Dark and stormy sounds very appropriate!!

AF arrived for me this morning, over 24 hours late! I'm actually pretty glad that the TWW is finally over and I can concentrate again 😅

Thank you for listening to my ramblings everyone! It would nice if we can keep this group going. I'm not sure when we will actually officially start TTC - it most certainly won't be this month but I'd like to keep checking in on everyone!

I'm off to write down the loooong list of symptoms I had the last 2 weeks for future reference....

mommyofone2019 · 24/11/2020 10:31

Morning ladies!
Defo want to keep this group going as we all seem to close with dates! Do you want to carry on with this page or shall I set up a new thread?

madeinthe80z · 24/11/2020 11:29

Hi @mommyofone2019
Happy to stay on this one for now, till it gets filled up with the next TWW symptom spotting 😂😂

Hope everyone is having a good day 🙂

Taylor1234 · 24/11/2020 16:48

Hi ladies, just an update from me! Currently 2 days late, very on off mild cramps and constant feeling of AF has arrived but when I've checked nothing there just white cm ( a bit like a lotion) tested yesterday and bfn on both cb and frer.

madeinthe80z · 25/11/2020 06:21

That sucks @Taylor1234 hope something happens for you soon, one way or the other so you're not in limbo 🤞

Bethy1995 · 26/11/2020 08:07

@Twinkle1989 huge congratulations! How amazing.

I'm now CD 35 still no AF and have completely missed my usual window. I haven't tested for a while now but I think I'd be 10/11dpo today so I'll go out later and pick up a test.

Labell22 · 26/11/2020 08:34

Morning all. I have been following this post - many congratulations to those who has had a positive and sending lots of luck to everyone else.

I am on cycle 4 TTC #1. I am 2-3 dpo. This morning I am experiencing mild pelvic cramps/pain, which I have not had before. Anyone else had this? I have completely changed my mindset this time round - I am normally a very positive person anyway but we all know that the 2WW can be hideous. I have been doing yoga, meditation and overall focussing on my wellbeing which has worked a treat and I am so much calmer then the previous cycles but I just wanted to ask about the pelvic cramps.

Thanks :)

Bethy1995 · 26/11/2020 17:40

Thoughts?

The dreaded TWW!
Highfalutinlootin · 26/11/2020 21:44

@Bethy1995 Looks a negative to me unfortunately. What DPO are you?

mommyofone2019 · 26/11/2020 23:35

Evening ladies. Sorry about the late post!
CD 6 for me today, AF Finished yesterday. So straight back to dtd tonight 😂
Hope you're all well? Has there been anymore bfp? Xx

zeerecords · 28/11/2020 09:00

Sorry I haven't been back I've had a horrible cold this week and haven't done much at all really.

I got my BFP on Wednesday!

Twinkle1989 · 28/11/2020 09:17

@zeerecords yay congratulations xxx

Highfalutinlootin · 28/11/2020 18:52

@mommyofone2019 Welcome back to the grind! It was American Thanksgiving this week so I took time off the internet to relax. Also tried to really enjoy having wine and not thinking about TTC for a week during my period. CD6 for me today so getting back to it soon.

When will you start OPKs? I usually start around CD10.

mommyofone2019 · 29/11/2020 09:04

@Highfalutinlootin I did one on cd 6 and cd8, both obviously negative but just thought I would start early incase I missed anything 🤷🏻‍♀️
DTD on both those days too, will try smep again this month xx

@mommyofone2019 Morning, just jumping on this as I am now just starting the TWW! Came off my pill in September but only just starting tracking my ovulation this month. I had an earlier period this month on the 20th which only lasted two 2 properly. Started using clear blue ovulation tests on Friday 27th and got my Peak yesterday, a lot earlier than I expected!! Am I right in saying I will still be peak today so worth DTD tonight too? Thanks Smile

madeinthe80z · 01/12/2020 13:39

@zeerecords congratulations 👏 💖

@carsbars if you are both up for it, then go for it! I was looking back at when I got my bfp with my daughter and I think it looked like we dtd day before ovulation, day of and day after and then another one for good luck a few days later. I think the more the merrier 🤣 good luck!

Hope everyone is doing okay. I guess this thread will start back up again in the next week as a fresh new TWW begins! I will not be in the same position as last month and I will not be finding myself in the TWW (🤣) but will be stopping by to see how you are all getting on 🙂

Carsbars · 01/12/2020 16:19

@madeinthe80z If ovulation is right we DTD 3 days before 1 day before and day of so fingers crossed for this month!

Tara1711 · 01/12/2020 17:37

I have been off the pill for 13 months, thought I might be one of the lucky ones that falls without trying at all but apparently not!! Have been tracking this month and currently in the tww!
