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!

@stillfeelingmad woo congratulations!! Great start to the week! How do you feel?

@Dex1521 I saw your impressive spike the other day! Have your temps stayed high?

8dpo today and I am getting restless. No real symptoms. Few twinges yesterday and imaginary nausea and ever so slightly tender boobs 😂 How's everyone else getting on?

@Nellieee this is what they're like today 9dpo. They've dropped from that massive spike but are still high even though they don't look it lol. Usually most people get a dip 7dpo for implantation I get a massive spike 🤯 I've got imaginary nausea too and a very dull ache in uterus started around 10pm after some electrical current type twinges. Not as strong as AF cramps but still not getting my hopes up

It's such a minefield! Still b high temps for you though. Looking good. Are you testing tomorrow? 🤞🤞

@Dex1521 sorry, didn't tag you

It appears I'm gonna have to start my TWW again in 2 days 😫 according to the strips (finally arrived yesterday in the post) my thermometer is arriving today hopefully

@Nellieee yeah I'm going to test tomorrow. Are you?

Don't know if I should use FRER or clear blue early detection and if I should use FMU or hold my wee for a few hours

I might do clearblue with FMU and an FRER in the evening if I get a squinter on CB

Jumping in here....I’m 6 dpo according to the flo app. Didn’t use ovulation strips for the cycle though but fairly confident on the days. Boobs feel huge, exhausted but also some cramping yesterday/today which could be period or implantation - who knows 🤦🏼‍♀️ ! Something sad came on the telly on Sunday night and I was in floods of tears, I’m not a crier the last time that happened I was pregnant (& a fireman died in station 19, not even real life!) so I’m either just very hormonal or preggers !

@Dex1521 not long to wait!! For early detection pregnancy tests, defs test first thing. OPKs are better in the afternoon. If they're both Easley detection, it shouldn't make a lot of difference. The only thing I will say is that lots of people prefer pink dye tests for reading faint lines. Good luck!!

@Glenpatrick aw bless you. Well hopefully you are pregnant! It's such a long wait isn't it?!

@Nellieee hoping so! I felt all this (bar the crying 😂) almost every month the last time we were TTC (took 9 months then) and drove myself mad with symptom spotting so if we are this fast (only started again last month) it would be a blooming miracle. When are you planning to test?

It's so hard not it isn't it?! Just so annoying that the majority of symptoms mimic PMS symptoms. Thanks!! Going to try and wait until the weekend. Might do an OPK to see if it's positive. Heard that the hormones are similar so can be picked up. When are you thinking of testing?

8dpo and am either pregnant or have a massive case of bitch-itus
Have been testing stupidly since 4dpo to satisfy my need to pee on a stick (IC only)... kind of getting annoyed that there isn't a faint line despite being so early.

It's official. I am mad.

@SenoraSurf you're not alone being mad! Sat here wondering weather my boobs are aching because I did a killer work out yesterday (and my arms ache a bit) or because I'm pregnant 🤔 I'm 99% sure it's the first to be honest but I've frantically googled for the past hour anyway 😂 why do we do this to ourselves!

@Ginini haha I do that. I’ve started running so probably strained my groin but my mind thinks it’s pg cramps!!

Jealous of your ICs @SenoraSurf!! I only have two frers and two boots tests which I hear are notoriously dodgy. So avoiding testing until the weekend. You're v early still so still got a great chance!

@Ginini @Grace185 ha I'm the same. Convincing myself my boobs hurt 🙄😂

@Nellieee good luck for the weekend. Let us know how it goes :)

I’m hoping af doesn’t come when it’s due on Friday!

Thanks @Grace185. Hope the wicked witch doesn't arrive! Have you tested yet? Can't keep up 🙈

Hi everyone!

I am so glad I found this chat! I feel like I'm going insane waiting. I'm on my second month of TTC for #1

How is everyone!?
Xo

@Nellieee @Ginini ha I'm the exact same.

Stupidly decided to do another this evening and I swear I see a little something something trying to peak through

I got faint positives at 9dpo on IC with ds1 so I think that's why I'm so addicted to them!!

@Nellieee if I had tests in the house I would probably be testing now 😂 I was a serial poas addict before my last pregnancy, even peed on a test I found the other day which was a) out of date and b) far to early to test! I’m going to try and hold out as long as possible but also might pick up some tests when I do the food shopping on Thursday.....it’s so hard I hate this waiting 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

@SenoraSurf jealous of the IC’s! And you are not mad the whole process is mad!

@Nellieee nope, af is due Friday and if it’s not arrived by the time my tests arrive between Monday and Wednesday I’ll test the next morning I think :)

@NannytoMummy it’s crazy isn’t it, you just get sucked in haha! When’s af due for you?

@Grace185 next Wednesday! Last month I convinced myself I was pregnant as I was "spotting" but then AF arrived the day after 😭 🤦🏼‍♀️ how about you!? Xo

@SenoraSurf I think I see it too did you do another today?

@Nellieee @Grace185 @SenoraSurf we're all the same aren't we 😂

@SenoraSurf think I can see a little line, have you tested again today?

Feeling deflated today, af due tomorrow and I really don't want her to show!

10dpo and got BFN. I feel like I see something but it could just be indent line

@Dex1521 sorry I don’t see a line but you’re early so try again in a few days I would :) there’s hope yet!
