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!

@mommyofone2019 thank you. Just have a feeling. Have all the symptoms of my upcoming AF, so crabby, headache. The only thing is I have tender breasts, and they feel full. I dot usually get that.
AF due around 19th so we will see what happens.
Just caved and done another test pretty sure it's negative Sad

The dreaded TWW!
Boredinthehouse12 · 14/11/2020 08:56

I’m really itching to test today. I’m 9dpo and feel like I’ve held out long enough 😅
I’m pretty sure it’ll will be a BFN as I have zero symptoms but hey, why not! I’m Currently holding in FMU waiting for DH to get out of bed so he doesn’t see me testing.

PurpleIsTheColour · 14/11/2020 10:11

Bfn at 9dpo for me- I didn’t use my frers-had a femometer test hanging around in the house so used that instead (although I know that they only pick up from 11dpo and so are not very sensitive). Not surprised it was bfn as still very early days so still have some hope left for the next few days ... 🤞🤞🤞

mommyofone2019 · 14/11/2020 10:30

@DJmum83 it's so hard with these strip tests 😖 your definitely not out yet though!

mommyofone2019 · 14/11/2020 10:30

@Boredinthehouse12 did you test?

OP posts:
mommyofone2019 · 14/11/2020 10:31

@PurpleIsTheColour 9DPO is early so you're definitely not out either!

Boredinthehouse12 · 14/11/2020 11:29

@mommyofone2019 Unfortunately not, my tests are in my side table draw and DH didnt leave the bedroom for a few hours 😒 I couldn’t hold in Fmu any longer so I couldn’t test. I’ll be testing later this afternoon.

Have you tested?

mommyofone2019 · 14/11/2020 11:42

@Boredinthehouse12 nightmare 😫 I'll be testing Thursday when I'm 10DPO 🤞🏻🤞🏻

How everyone getting on? I’m 5dpo today and the only symptom I have is an increased sense of smell...I never knew how much my partners slippers stink until today 😂. Not going to over think things or get my hopes up too much this month though

beanchopper17 · 14/11/2020 11:50

5dpo too, no symptoms, so that's helping me keep sane, the usually mild cramps, but that could just be that I have IBS Grin

When is everyone thinking they will test?

Dreamer30 · 14/11/2020 11:53

Well I have no idea what's going on with me 🤣 mentioned the other day that I was spotting and I still am, only the tiniest bit when I wipe, don't need a pad.

I'm 3dpo now and my boobs are sore and heavy but I had that last month. The only thing different this month is the spotting, I have a killer headache and I'm so tired!

Wed/Thu I was sleeping for 9pm and was still tired when I woke up. Yesterday I went for a 2hr nap after work and was shattered still come 10pm and now it's almost 12 and I'm just up lol. That could just be coincidental though.

mommyofone2019 · 14/11/2020 13:01

I've not really had any symptoms. Have got creamy cm today (sorry tmi) not sure if that means anything? And have been having a bit of cramping 🤷🏻‍♀️

OP posts:
madeinthe80z · 14/11/2020 14:46

@mommyofone2019 me too, the CM seems unusual for this totm, but cramping could be explained by the curry I had last night 🙊 i am also super tired, but then dd woke up at 4am, so 🤷‍♀️😆
I cant stop thinking about it, its annoying, I wish I could switch it off. I have already come to the conclusion I won't hold out till Thursday!!

KitQ · 14/11/2020 14:52

Hi everyone! I’m just starting the TWW now. First cycle of trying so trying to relax and not worry (very hard for me as I have anxiety.)

Boredinthehouse12 · 14/11/2020 16:02

I’ve just tested and surprise surprise it’s a BFN. Not even a hint of a line. Bring on my next cycle 😕

madeinthe80z · 14/11/2020 16:28

Hi @KitQ welcome to the longest 2 weeks of the month!

@boredinthehouse12 how many do are you again? When are you due AF? X

mommyofone2019 · 14/11/2020 16:35

Hi *@KitQ* welcome to the longest 2 weeks of the month!

@boredinthehouse12 how many do are you again? When are you due AF? X

Haha thank you! Any tips on getting through it?
madeinthe80z · 14/11/2020 17:27

@KitQ

I wish I knew! Keeping busy is the key for me but I've got a long weekend off so it harder when I'm not working! And don't go on your phone in the middle of the night googling symptoms and early testing 😂

mommyofone2019 · 14/11/2020 17:33

@madeinthe80z haha I majorly think I'm symptom spotting. And why is it I'm like does this normally happen 🤔 it's like I have a major kind blank and just can't remember anything from the last tww's!!
I'm going to try my best to hold off until Thursday. But I have a load of cheap strip tests so if I cave I won't feel so bad using those. I need to order some frer tests though.
Jusy thinking about testing is giving me anxiety. That wait, waiting for something to appear 😖

OP posts:
madeinthe80z · 14/11/2020 17:43

@mommyofone2019 I know!! I can't remember from last time what was normal and what happened when I got bfp's. I'm pretty sure I had no symptoms though! Maybe sore boobs?? I didn't get nausea or anything until about 6 weeks but I'm sat here this evening feeling rough and thinking 'ooooh'... its stupid, we only DTD a week ago 🤣 aaargh!

madeinthe80z · 14/11/2020 17:48

I have one test in the bathroom drawer, I digged it out yesterday and it is a one step early something or other, I must have bought it online because its in a clear bag like there were others. I may just need to invest in some frers- are they 5 or 6 days before AF is due???

Twinkle1989 · 14/11/2020 18:28

@madeinthe80z 😂 exactly the same - twinge of feeling green and I'm symptom spotting! I'm trying to be cool this cycle because I was in bits when AF arrived last time after doing about 5 FR!

Try and get them off Amazon & you'll save a packet

6 day's before although I think a lot of people get a result 9DPO but the longer you leave it, the most reliable it will be xx

mommyofone2019 · 14/11/2020 19:02

Well we are another day closer ladies. Let's hope there are lots of bfp next week 🤞🏻
I'm ready to indulge in a nice glass of rosè tonight 🍷
