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!!!

Welcome @BritYYZ & @Rosie241 hoping for lots of Christmas BFPs!!

@Jordie24 I guess there's no harm in testing but you could get a false negative with it being early.

@Hannah199y that's amazing!!! Keep us up todate

@peach1234 good idea to try and wait. It days 48 hours the for hcg levels to double doesn't it? Xx

Hi guys! Just checking in.

I'm CD24 today and I think 9DPO. Still having weird crampy type feelings that seem to change side to side through the day (yesterday felt like a stitch??). I'm convinced AF is en route, but if it comes tonight/tomorrow that's really bloody early for me, not due on til Monday according to the apps 🙄

Good luck to everyone having a go with the early tests! I read that implantation can happen between 6-10DPO, most commonly 9DPO, so I'm resisting the urge for now in case there's even a slight chance I've caught and it's just too early to tell 🤞🏻 I'm moving on Monday (when AF is due) and I've told myself I'm not allowed to POAS until I'm in the new house 😂

@mooloop hey Hun!

I'm CD24 also! Either 9 or 10 dpo (haven't monitored for a while) and I've got cramps also!

AF KEEP AWAY FROM US!

Well done for resisting. I think that's the best idea. I don't plan on testing until Monday either. We can try and hold off together.

I've done hardly anything today and feel shattered.. probably because I've done hardly anything but wanting it to be early pregnancy exhaustion.

God this TTC drives you wild.. I used to be SO laid back 🤦🏼‍♀️

Haha you sound just like me @beckyBP 😂 I'm the same, permanently knackered from work but hoping it's a symptom 🤦🏼‍♀️ constantly googling every little thing!

As far as DH knows I'm playing it very cool and am super chilled about the whole thing 🤫

@mooloop totally! I seem to be super chill until 6/7 dpo and then I freak and over analyse 😂

What does your husband think about TTC?

We were due to get married in June.. (covid cancelled) so one day my fiancé came home from work and I was like LETS HAVE A BABY! 😂 obviously I assumed we'd get married in June and start trying straight away but I think most men just don't think that far in advance.

Took him a couple of weeks to come around to the idea and then he was well up for it. I mean it's fair enough, I've been planning it for years where I guess he hasn't really thought about it. I mean we've only been together 12 bloody years 😂

Aww no @beckyBP that's so rubbish about your wedding have you booked another date or just waiting for a bit now?

DH is extremely chilled about everything in life so he's really casual about it all. Good job really when he has a neurotic wife 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

TMI but I've just had a shower and noticed quite a lot of CM (looked like EWCM but surely can't be?!) - what does all this meeeean haha god it's so annoying noticing all these things so much now! They probably happen every month and I've just never noticed 😂

@mooloop thanks hun. We did rebook for the September but that cancelled too so now it'll probably be 2022. Really hopeful to conceive first now.

Haha they do say opposites attract!!

Oo have you had a google? I knows ahg you mean. I pay so much more attention to my body now that I'm TTC.. I didn't even notice CM changing before if I'm honest.

I'm having weird cramps today. They aren't really cramps it just all feels a bit tight with the warm twinges now and then 🤔

Awww well hopefully you'll have your 2022 wedding with a little mini flower girl or page boy in tow 😍

I tried googling but google didn't seem to know 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 I feel bloated too but that would be normal for the lead up to AF. Guess I'll just have to wait and see if it shows up on the weekend/Monday, patience isn't my thing 🙄

@beckyBP @mooloop
I'm 9dpo and it does drive you crazy - I was also stress free until about day 6/7 - then it gets closer to either baby or wine 😆

My luteal phase is only about 11 days so I'm due Thursday...it's good to find out a bit sooner, and hopefully it's not too short to affect implementation. I feel completely normal so not too optimistic for this month. If not we have to try over Christmas which will require some planning as staying with family!

I wish it was just you try you get pregnant, this isn't what you're taught in school!

@mooloop exactly! It the way we planned it but we really didn't want to postpone a family / not have the wedding we want (small arms social distance) so finger crossed we'll have one extra guest 👶🏼

It's so frustrating that at this stage the symptoms are pretty much the same for AF of early pregnancy it's not fair! Hoping for a a speedy few days for you!

@kaffy197 🤣 yes! Baby or wine!! Ah that's good! Hopefully 1 more day to wait then to know. That's the thing isn't it, not so easy over Christmas.

Tell me about it! I honestly think education needs to change. It wasn't until I started trying at the age of 29 that I learnt it wasn't as easy as I thought!

So.. last night, went to sleep fine and then woke up at 4 after a crazy vivid dream. Then I was wide awake until gone 6! I had this before a few months ago and it happens for 4/5 days in in my 2nd week of the TWW.. so strange! I never have trouble sleeping ever!!

I couldn’t help but test this morning I’m 10dpo I did two cheapie tests and I feel like I can see a line on the strip one but I don’t know if eyes are playing tricks on me! What do u think?

Sorry it didn’t post photos here they are!

Hey @Jordie24 the quality of pics on here isn't great is it but the last two pics I think I can see something 🤗🤗

My update:

Got a darker line on clear blue and frer today and did the super drug one aswell 😊

@Jordie24 can definitely see the line! X

@beckyBP

I had crazy insomnia last night , just couldn't fall asleep and threw up this morning. I've been feeling nauseous all day

@Hannah199y definite BFPs there huge congratulations!!

What's the insomnia all about?! I was fine until 4am and then just couldn't sleep. Are you crampy at all? I'm quite crampy as I normally pre AF. I've got achy thighs but could just be because of the way I've been sat 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

Thanks! When are you testing?

I'm not cramping today just very nauseous, peeing often, red hot face and headachey

@Hannah199y I think I'm going to wait until Monday (when AF is due).

I've got full on cramps so I think AF will come tbh. Which cycle was this for you if you don't mind me asking? Xxx

@beckyBP no way! where in Wales are you from?
I just want AF to hurry up so I can start ttc properly
I genuinely keep thinking im pregnant though but all tests been BFN so far I have digital clear blue tests on the way from amazon should be here on the 12th (day before AF is due) so il test then if no signs of AF
I can't remember much of my Early pregnancy symptoms with DS other than really sore lower back then some horrid cramping and Implanation bleed which I miss took for AF
But this time round I've heightend sense of smell which I didn't get until later on in my last pregnancy and yesterday I had horrible cramping but no bleed or even brown/pink discharge but my stomach feels pushed further up again I only experienced this later on in my last pregnancy

Its driving me nuts thinking I'm pregnant after getting so many BFN 🤣🤣 sorry for the long winded rant!

Congratulations @Hannah199y!! So lovely to see a BFP on here

I'm still having weird crampy feelings (probably AF) and weirdly, quite a lot of CM to the point that I keep thinking I've come on Dr Google doesn't seem to have a conclusive answer on this so probably another symptom of AF being en route, the old witch

@mooloop I keep having the CM confusing for AF too! I'm due tomorrow though so will see, I feel normal

Ooo interesting @kaffy197! I'm due on on Monday.
