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!

@stillfeelingmad definitely got plenty of time you're in your prime! Really hoping you get good news with your next test in a few days. I'm 23 so also plenty of time but my OH is 40 so we wanted to start straight after we got married and seeing as our wedding has been pushed 3years because of covid we thought we'd start now and hope to be successful. I'm into my 4th month now and still nothing yet. I hope this is my month too but have 0 symptoms so not feeling hopeful

All you gals testing is making me want too but I'm only 6dpo whyyyyyy😂

@Dex1521I’m the same! Af due this coming Friday but was going to wait until 28th as unsure about my cycle but I might do it next weekend of af hasn’t turned up!

8/9 dpo today and after a shitty week I'm having wine tonight. Now I feel guilty... does anyone else have a few glasses in tww?

Dex1521 · 16/01/2021 20:29

@strangerontheinternet I do but don't go wild maybe 2 or 3 ciders as I don't drink wine (well I do but end up legless 😂) you can't put your life on hold for something you can't control and I go by the saying "if it's not pink it's ok to have a drink". Plus me and OH only have a drink Friday and Saturday night.

Think of all the people who go on benders before they know they're pregnant. I had a ex friend went to ibiza for a mad one and she found out she was 4months when she got home and had a healthy full term baby

I've read that one or two before a positive result is totally fine, you only get positive results once it's implanted so before that not connected to your blood stream

Dex1521 · 17/01/2021 08:04

Anyone able to have a look at my chart please. Big drop again today right down to the crosshairs. Also had 0 symptoms no cramps or anything which is so unlike me I usually have all the symptoms going.

Wow that’s so strange, what dpo are you?

Just tested again and another stark white one 😂

Dex1521 · 17/01/2021 08:35

@coffee1988 I'm 7dpo. Could it be implantation or is that more of a myth that your temp goes down for implantation. Really hope AF isn't showing up at 7dpo. Also you're still not out till AF shows so don't lose hope. What dpo are you?

OP posts:
coffee1988 · 17/01/2021 08:43

Oh yes quite likely! I hear temp drops for implantation and 7dpo is probably about right. Fingers crossed and keep us posted!

I’m 10dpo. Will check tomo but have ruled out this month emotionally now.

Nellieee · 17/01/2021 10:21

Hi @Dex1521. That's a big drop, but on charts I've seen doesn't necessary mean an awful lot sometimes. Implantation dips - the jury is out. I had a dip at 7dpo last month and here I am! But there is some correlation with a pregnancy. Who knows?! Fingers crossed it is the I dip 🤞

6DPO for me. Convinced myself I feel nauseous 😂 temps still rising. Who knows what to make of any of it?! 🤷‍♀️

Nellieee · 17/01/2021 10:24

@stillfeelingmad there's definitely something there, but it's hard to see if it's evap. Have you got any frer tests? They're more sensitive and pink dye is better for line eyes. Still in it until the witch arrives.

@strangerontheinternet loads of friends drank before they found out they were pregnant. I wouldn't worry too much!!

Bubblemonkey · 17/01/2021 10:34

1-2dpo depending on when I actually ovulated compared to positive ovulation sticks. I have got killer backache. It feels like period backache but based on my last period, I’m not due on till early feb. Does this sound familiar to anyone? 🤞🏻

Bubblemonkey · 17/01/2021 10:35

⬆️⬆️
I had a positive stick on the morning of the 15th with major right sided cramping that night.

Dex1521 · 17/01/2021 10:55

Ok I am a silly sausage I read my thermometer as 36.32 this morning as I usually read it shinning my phone touch on it as I'm still half asleep 😂 whilst changing the bed I thought hmm I'll just double check that figure again as my thermometer saved the last temp recorded and look!! 😂 it was 37.32 what does this even mean now the highest temp I've ever had in any of my cycles

Thanks @Nellieee there were no frer tests in supermarket so just going to wait and see, I have had nausea and today have cramping and unexplained back pain, had swollen gums this week too which is unusual, but the tests seem negative so maybe I'm just coming down with something Confused will let you know in a week or so

ree348 · 17/01/2021 17:14

Hi @Dex1521 , I think I read somewhere that your BBT tends to dip during implantation. I may be completely wrong though!

It's so hard NOT to over read all the symptoms isn't it. I have lower back pain and lots of watery cm (sorry TMI) and can't remb if that's just normal at 6/7 DPO and whether my back pain is just got to do with not having a proper office chair for when I work.Confused

Dex1521 · 17/01/2021 17:19

@ree348 ah I forgot to update the chat!!

I was changing the bed today and saw my thermometer on the bedside table and mine saves the last recorded temp when you turn it on so I thought hmm I'll just double check it as I always read it with one eye open and using the light off my phone screen so not too clear and is read it as 36.32 instead of 37.32 look at my chart and the rise I've had!! I've never had such a high temp since ttc

I've been googling it all day and I think I have had a triphasic cycle which Ive never heard off but according to a lot of articles they very commonly end in pregnancy but I'm not getting my hope up and I've managed to keep away from the tests as still on 7dpo and need my temp to stay up there to confirm it's a triphasic cycle

@Dex1521 that's some good research you have done there! Exciting! Wish i was monitoring BBT now. Fingers crossed for you.

strangerontheinternet · 17/01/2021 21:55

@Dex1521 fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻 thanks ladies, I also know lots of people who didn't know they were pregnant and drank etc and have healthy babies but just suddenly wondered if it could stop me being successful this month or would mean it wouldn't stick etc. Hope not. I rarely drink, only ever on nights out but last night after a shitty week me and my mum shared a bottle of white (although she's a much bigger drinker snd drank certainly more than her half 🤣) 10dpo for me today will keep holding off testing I think I have some frers ready but don't want to waste them haha. I've ordered some easy@home cheapies from Amazon

DizSquiz · 17/01/2021 22:48

Hi 🙋🏼‍♀️ can I join? I'm TTC #1 on 1st cycle 2dpo and going out my mind 😁

Dex1521 · 18/01/2021 13:05

Hi @DizSquiz

I tested today and it was a BFN was stark white so sorta lost hope for this cycle after feeling so hopeful I also have 0 symptoms

OP posts:
ree348 · 18/01/2021 13:26

Sorry to hear that @Dex1521 however maybe you tested a bit early too? Did you test with a frer?

nellly · 18/01/2021 13:48

Welcome @DizSquiz !!

I had pain and cramps yesterday on cd 23 which I now think was ovulation! My cycles are still getting back to normal
After implant so despite thinking I was 8/9dpo I'm now counting again and considering myself 1dpo Grin

Dex1521 · 18/01/2021 14:11

@ree348 I used just an IC so I should've expected it to be negative lol just thought I might have seen a shadow of a line. I'm only 8dpo today so here's hoping it's just too early to test still
