Keep calm and TWW.. yeah right!

[beckyBP]

Hey guys,

So I'm in my 6th TWW and roughly 6/7dpos. (Ive stopped monitoring.. for now). I was doing sooo well and now I'm on the obsessive googling stage.

I get a little crampy around this time every month.. I think. 🤣 so I've just been trying to work out what implantation cramps could feel like 🤯

Does anyone else feel like when you aren't TTC the time between periods go super quick but when your in your TWW if feels like the whole of 2020 within that two weeks 🙈

Why can't I just CHILL!!!

Joining! the waiting is so slow isn't it.

Think I'm 6DPO today. Fairly convinced AF will show on cue though

When are you due AF?

Hey @mooloop it's just crazy how the TWW actually slows like down.. 🤯😂

AF due on the 13th for me. How about you?

I'm SO hopefully this is my month as, like the psychopath I am, I've got a little Christmas plan for my fiancé if I get my BFP.

How long have you been TTC? Xx

@beckyBP due AF on the 14th according to Flo! I've had lower backache for the past couple of days which is unusual for me but seems way too early to mean anything!

This is only our second cycle trying (and we're still pretty casual about it tbh, I'm not doing temping or anything like that yet). So I shouldn't be moaning about the TWW already haha but I'm so impatient what about you?

Awww that will be so lovely if it works out for a Christmas BFP! When do you plan on testing?

@mooloop I think implantation happens around 6/7 days doesn't it so could be that? I've got lover abdominal cramps but I get them every month.

I haven't done temping tbh! I don't think I could handle the stress! The only thing I've done is ovulation strips. I'm on my 6th TWW. I think cycle 3 & 4 I got super impatient but I've get quite a lot going on atm which is a distraction.

🤞🏽🤞🏽 for our Christmas BFPs!! I won't be testing until a day after af due. What about you? Xx

@beckyBP yeah I think I would go a bit mad temping tbh but if we end up trying for a long time I'll probably give it a go! I've read on here about the sperm meets egg plan which makes sense but sounds very full on

I think I'll probably test on the 15th if I've not come on by then. I'm moving house on the 14th when AF is due, so that'll be an interesting day of highs and lows if AF shows up on time 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

Hi Ladies!
I'm in the TWW as well. 8DPO. Ive also had bad lower back pain these last few days. Trying not to read too far into it as this is only cycle 2 and after no periods for a long time, I don't know what is normal for me. I'll be testing on the 12th as it's my brothers 30th and I want to know if I can have a drink!

@mooloop yeah definitely worth giving it a go I think. It just confuses me so much haha!

I've attempted SMEP a few times but not actually managed it yet for many reasons

Omg how stressful for you when moving house! 🤞🏽 for you on the 15th and that no AF on the 14th

Hey @bluemagicalsky lower back pains are definitely a good sign!!

It's crazy how much you get to know your body when TTC. Little aches and cramps that I've clearly always had and never noticed!

Definitely a good idea to test then and 🤞🏽 it's a sober 30th party for you.

I was thinking, if I get my BFP around the 13th.. how am I going to explain a sober Christmas to my family. I don't drink much at Christmas anyway but a couple of glasses of wine!

Can I join ladies? Sound very similar to you all strangely enough lol 2nd cycle, 7dpo and af due 14th. Had cramps right from od and they're just getting worse with every passing day. My boobs are sore now and heavy and I have bad back ache but that's not unusual for me, it's always playing up lol. I'm really hoping for a bfp before xmas 😊🌲

Hey ladies can I join

AF due on 13 only officially ttc on od 🤣 so I doubt I'm pregnant from dtd once in that cycle oh this is my 2nd ttc but some reason I feel a lot more impatient this time round for some reason 🙃

Hi all, so nice to have other people on similar dates

7dpo today (I think) and my back and boobs are killing. No cramps today for the first day in a while though (I always get them around ovulation and they carried on until yesterday. Hope next week flies by!

I’d love to join! First month trying after my ectopic in October. I believe I’m 10 dpo today and my temp is still up. I did a Tesco own test this morning and checked after the time window and there was the faintest of lines but I’m 90% sure it was an evap line.

I don’t know why I’m so early testing this month (can’t remember last time I was since started TTC in July 2019) but I did go mental at DH husband yesterday and he said my boobs are looking big! Obviously could be same for my period though ha.

I’m going to do a FRER tomorrow so wish me luck!

Good luck @Chica1990 🤞🤞🤞 and to anyone else doing a test in the next few days 🌟

Good luck @Chica1990!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Hey @Dreamer30 hopefully all good signs for you! How incredible would a Christmas BFP be!! 🤞🏽

Hey @Melonbee90 it's definitely possible! How long did it take you with your first if you don't mind me asking?

@mooloop hoping for a super speedy week too. Although it's my week off (between jobs) so also want to enjoy it 😅

Hey @Chica1990 so sorry to hear about your eptopic. That must have been awful for you. Huuuuge good luck to you and let us know how you get on please 🤞🏽🤞🏽 for you.

I feel really crampy this evening. 7/8 dpo I think.. now I'm para that this is actually ovulation and I ovulate a lot later than I thought which would mean a super shot LP.. who bloody knows 🤦🏼‍♀️

@beckyBP

It only took us 1 cycle with my first but we dtd every other day for a whole month and I was taking pre conception vitamins for about 4 months before trying so I feel that played a part in my fast conception
I'm a lot more unhealthy/unfit this round too 🙈

Hi all

I'm in the same boat! 7dpo and AF due on the 10th (my LP is usually 10/11 days)
I am weirdly obsessing this month- probably because I temp and my temperature is consistently higher than normal after ovulation this month.

I did a test today 🙈 which I know was pointless because it's too early, but sometimes I can't help myself! I'm not usually this obsessed but DH's birthday next weekend so wouldn't that be a good present! Usually I just try to wait and see if AF comes.

If bfn this month then we will have to ttc over the Christmas period which sounds a bit stressful whilst staying with family (although I wouldn't say no to some wine!)

Also last month I had the heaviest most sudden AF just for two days which was completely abnormal and the more I think about it the more I think it was more than just AF?? I'm probably overthinking.

How is everyone else doing?

@Melonbee90 wow amazing! 🤞🏽 it's nice and quick for you this time round.

This is our 6th cycle and I'm genuinely considering booking a drs appointment. I know you shouldn't until 1 year but I feel like if there is something wrong it's better to know sooner than later!

Please can I join too!
Only on first cycle of TTC baby no 2 but already so impatient with TWW, not a good start!
Due AF 12th and I think I'm 9DPO, had a tiny bit of blood when I wiped earlier and cramps today, my periods have been really long the last few months so hoping it's not just my period come early.

Her @kaffy197 that's a good sign if your temp
Is still high right?

Ah would be so lovely to give your husband that as a birthday present. Why don't you retest 10dpo?

I know what you mean,. My fertile window next month falls over Christmas Day and Boxing Day and I don't know when we'd find the time 😅

I'm feeling crampy and a little achy tonight 7/8 dpo and AF due in 1 week. Xx

@peach1234 hey Hun! Could that be implementation? Did you get any implantation bleeding last time. 🤞🏽🤞🏽 it is! How long did it take you with baby no 1 xx

@beckyBP this is what I'm hoping! Was a shock to see it and I'll be even more shocked if it's happened the first month!We tried for 7 months then decided to stop for a while then tried again and I got pregnant on the 5th month of ttc. All I remember last time was that I had cramps before AF was due and that never normally happened for me, I'd always come on and then get cramps.
Trying to wait to test but it's so hard and I've got tests coming tomorrow and I know I'll cave. Not sure how long it takes to show on a test after implanting though does anyone know?

Hey everyone I’m 7DPO today, also due on 14th December. I had ewcm 2 days before predicted ovulation so hoping that means I ovulated! So hoping for a nice Xmas present of a bfp! 2nd cycle of pill x

Hi @beckyBP

Yes will retest in a few days. It's mad how I'm constantly looking out for symptoms etc 😆 and how scientific getting pregnant can become!

I'm optimistic about my temperature but the back of my brain always thinks it will be negative!

How many months TTC are you?

@beckyBP if you can't get a gp appointment you can always get advice and information through NHS Direct/111 :) (im a call handler for the service in Wales) you can call for all kinds of health queries its brill
