TWW - let’s keep each other sane!

[Dex1521]

Officially in the tww after a temp spike yesterday morning and this morning. I’m around 2dpo today, we are onto cycle 4 of ttc baby no 1 which isn’t a long time really but feels like a lifetime. Really hoping this is my month 🤞✨

Usually I go mad googling symptoms and driving myself crazy during the whole wait only for AF to show each month so thought I’d change it up and make a wee thread for people also in the tww. We can all keep each other sane!! Feel free to join everyone is welcome!

@coffee1988 It's too early for me to tell, but last month I had really sore boobs by this time (CD19) and so far this month I'm still running without wincing, so maybe!

@coffee1988

I only started measuring again halfway through this month. I used to measure regularly before ttc and the low temp was around 36.3 so these are weirdly high. Erghhh. Pick a lane body!

Since I've been tracking BBT, from the beginning of this cycle, I haven't had a reading under 98.2F (36.8C) and my highest, yesterday on CD18, was 99.4F (37.4F) all of which seems to be much higher than average. I do see a pattern, in that my temp is higher in my luteal phase. But I just generally seem to be a warm person. I'm not ill, and I don't feel hot. It just seems to be the way I am. I read that it's more of a problem to have a low luteal temperature. So I don't think I need to be concerned.

@coffee1988 I heard that some supplements can mess around with your cycles and so I’ve avoided the full multivitamin like pregnacare conception for now because my cycle is so regular & I didn’t want to not know when I’m ovulating. I am on cycle 3 of TTC & I’ve been taking folic acid for a month now. I also take 1000mg of vitamin C and vitamin D but I was taking those before anyway. My OH is taking the wellman conception tablets as of this month too so will see if these help. Also decided to try OPK this month for the first time and only had one day of high fertility before getting peak fertility so hoping I have got the timing more accurate this month.

Good luck for this month everyone ❤️🤞🏻

@Lockdownbabywishes I've bought those for my OH too! I'll be following your updates to see how it goes as I'm mid cycle waiting for AF and they only arrived yesterday 🤞🏼 for you, I've read good reviews on them x

@coffee1988 I will keep you posted. I’m on CD14 today so just about to enter the TWW which I swear makes me turn into a crazy women 🤦🏻‍♀️

I will let you know how I get on. Keep me posted too. I have heard good things about them so 🤞🏻 they work for us x

Symptom spotting again! I usually get pain in the bones of my lower pelvis during the first two days of AF. It feels like a strong ache, like my sit bones are trying to pull apart from each other. It's very odd and quite painful! Anyway, I am 9DPO today, so AF isn't due for 5 days, but today and yesterday I have had this same feeling.
I really don't know what to expect from the new vitamins i've been taking, but I haven't had this pain before unless it's been CD1 and CD2.
Hmmm.

TWW continues! Anyone else on the cusp of AF?!

I am 13dpo now, CD25 and pleased that I didn't get another 22 day cycle. But I have all sorts of weirdness going on, which I am putting down to the first month of taking Pregnacare and perhaps not being used to the way they've balanced things.

I usually get sore and swollen boobs for a few days which eases up on CD2 - but it has already subsided and AF hasn't arrived yet. I am also on my third day of very very light spotting. I only knew of it because i've been continuing to monitor CM.

I am not finding BBT helpful during the luteal phase as I am over analysing it! It was useful to see the massive drop on the day that I got a positive OPK, but for the rest of my cycle it's consistently high, and when it drops by a bit in the luteal phase it stresses me out!

So I got my BFP last month and I’m now 6 weeks. The nausea has been horrific and now been prescribed anti sickness meds. Has anyone else really suffered and if so, what helped? Thanks. Xx
