Am I in the TWW?

[sunflowersaremyfav93]

Hello ladies,

Me and my partner were planning on TTC in Feb but I would've had started last year if it was up to me. Anyway according to my app my peak day ovulating was Thursday and we were DTD Friday and my OH was like oh let's just go for it..I'm going in. I was very happy about it!
I'd been using OPKs but where work has been so mental this month I hadn't bothered. So don't know what my peak day was. The app isn't always right is it.

I am realllly hoping that we ended up DTD on the right day and end up with a BFP. I've been taking the right supplements for months and eating well.. doing everything I should.

What do you all think? Here's a screenshot of my Flo app.

Thank you! 💖

I'm new to this but as you DTD during your ovulation period then I'd say you were in the dreaded TWW! Good luck!

Hey @sunflowersaremyfav93 I spotted this and your dates are almost spot on with mine.
Hilariously my story is the same... our wedding was due to be April. But we’ve postponed, we were sad as we wanted baby2! So on Monday Flo told me High chance of pregnancy..... we just went for it! I picked up some OPKs the next day, they looked okay, but I have no idea what I was really doing it was a bit whirlwind.
DTD the day before suspected ovulation, and a day after just for good measure 🤣

I’m due Feb 10th and thanks to these forums I’ve decided to test early Feb 5th 🤣... a slap dash approach but I’m excited none the less!

Good luck!!! 😘

Thank you @Arrierttyclock!!

@lottieb92 Ah that's good we're in the TWW together!! I think I'm just going to wait and see if AF arrives or not.. I'd be so lucky to get pregnant first time wouldn't I so I won't get too excited. What test will you use to test early? Just in case I can't wait 🤣 good luck and keep me updated.. I'm already like I reallly hope I am!

@sunflowersaremyfav93 .. I really wanted to wait until I miss AF, I think because my boobs are sore I’m getting ahead of myself. 😜
We have a 5 year old and with him I just KNEW! Obviously don’t have that yet way to soon - but I certainly will be trusting my instincts.

I’m also first month so I agree, perhaps it is the excitement and thrill of trying that’s got me into a giddy positive mood! Especially when I chat to people in the same TWW! But it has happened!!!

If I can’t help myself, I will test with a first response early response, which is up to 6 days early. As it seems that is the most popular on mumsnet ;)

It really isn’t long for us! We can do this! Good luck x

It's so hard isn't it because AF symptoms seem to be the same for a BFP? I'm with you though, I'll end up ordering some FRER haha!! Will be properly trying from now on though 🥳🥳 @lottieb92

You're right not long at all, I'll keep an eye out for an update from you! Got my fingers crossed for you xx

Hey!! Just popping on because I'm also in the TWW! Trying to conceive baby no 2 😁 so exciting!

Hello @chickennuggets2 very exciting! This is my first actual TWW! When will you be testing?

Thank you @sunflowersaremyfav93 and you!! Let me know how you get on! Thinking of you!

And hey @chickennuggets2! Funny that’s the nickname of my 5 year old hehe!! Best of luck to you as well. Are you testing earlier than AFs arrival or staying strong till a missed?
Either way, sending baby dust 🥳

Honestly ladies I'm guna be chill! Last time I went a little overboard and made my self mental!!! I was literally a TTC lunatic. So this time I want to enjoy it and me and DH have agreed to only have 2 children, just have fun with this one lol!

Saying that I can't help but get a little excited when I get a sign lol! I'll be testing after missed period. My little boy is 9 months, hoping to get a close age gap!

That’s a really good attitude @chickennuggets2 love that idea :)
I’ve said before I’m certainly over excited! Which is a nice feeling too. Maybe we could have the first chilled TWW thread 🥰

🤞 best of luck ladies!

Hoping to be chilled too but I wonder what I'll be like nearer to when I'm due 😂 will try my best! 😂 with your first did you feel like you knew? Some people say they few like they are?

@sunflowersaremyfav93 i feel the same, it’s a long 10 days for me, I’ll have to find a new hobby.

With my first, I had really heavy boobs, sensitive nipples that the cold cut through, even in bra and lots of layers (It was December) and also lots of cramping. I was naive and thought it was just my period as we weren’t TTC then. But deep down I knew it was different to another symptoms I’ve had before AF.

I’ll be trying hard not to over analyse these next few days that’s for sure 😘

Absolutely, sending chilled vibes lol!

With my first I thought I knew but every time i wasn't! It literally ate me up, then the month I said to DH let's just stop and wait a couple months I fell pregnant. I honestly didn't even think about it, I was so miffed that I wasn't pregnant that I totally switched off. I didn't even realise my period was late but my friend reminded me to check and then convinced to me to test!

Although I did have cramping, almost stopped me in my tracks for about 4 days before the BFP. I just put this down to period cramps though, turns out when I went for my first scan they asked me if I had pain in that area, they said they could see the path the egg had taken! Amazing right!

@chickennuggets2 that is really amazing!
Gosh my boobs don’t half ache tonight... going to take myself to bed and that’s another day ticked off... might try my hand at DIY tomorrow or start couch to 5k 🤣 anything to keep busy right?

@sunflowersaremyfav93 I think I'm in the tww as well, starting yesterday. First month ttc seriously. Feeling excited, apprehensive, teary. I thought id missed the boat when my partner of 6 years dropped me at 34. I was doing the maths, would i find someone to settle down with in time. I'm engaged to someone new now (who is wonderful) but don't plan to do any wedding planning til I'm pregnant (fingers crossed) and the new arrival can be part of the big day (again fingers crossed) How do we do to get through this wait?? Good luck everyone

@lottie92 Ah that’s so interesting you had those changes! I think I’m going to keep busy with work and get stuck into a series to keep me occupied but roll of Feb 11!

Gosh @chickennuggets2 that is amazing!! Wow! I hear a lot of stories where people fell pregnant once they’d stopped trying!

@rosamay48 Aw that is so lovely!! I’m sending you lots of baby dust! Were you tracking ovulation? Gosh i have no idea... I reallly want to be chilled haha I think because it’s the weekend and there is so much time to think it’s harder but once I’m working I won’t have too much time to overthink it? When is your AF due, will you test before?

Hopefully we all get that BFP soon!! Anyone got a good season they recommended to binge? I've seen all the usual, Bridgeton/crown etc.

One of my early symptoms when I knew I was positive last time was itchy nipples of all things lol, they drove me MAD! So I'm on the look out for those hahahahahah 🤣

@chickennuggets2 itchy nipples? ha ha love it, what a symptom to look forward to 🤣 We've been watching The West Wing from the beginning, but depends how fed up you are with politics. Schitts Creek? It's a Sin is really good, new on 4. In terms of period drama - has anyone tried The Great yet? I love Marvel things, so first 4 episodes of Wandavision!

@sunflowersaremyfav93 Thank you, my dream is they'll be just old enough to enjoy the day with us. Both me and DP aren't the best at being centre of attention, so a little one as well would be perfect.

I've been tracking my menstrual cycle for a long time, so knew roughly when my fw would be, but this time didn't track ovulation specifically. I've just ordered some OPKs for next month if this month isn't successful. There is so much time to think about it, even during the working week, as I'm full time wfh, going to try hard not too! AF is due 13th, so might test if I get some weird body things that are unusual for me, if not will test on the 14th (and then I'll know if I can have wine on valentines 🤣) I've also spent way too much time researching non alcoholic wines and spirits (not a fan of beer)

@chickennuggets2 hahaha that's so funny!! Isn't it crazy what happens to our bodies! The slightest itch I'll be overthinking now.

@rosamay48 I think that's so lovely! Me and my OH have been together 7 years I think covid has ruined his proposal plans but I'm the same as you, I'd like our baby (fingers crossed) to be at our wedding, we're so happy and in love making it legal is the cherry on top. I'm also full time WFH so it's easier to start Googling isn't it?!

I love how I've been saying I'm going to try and be chilled and this morning I was watching videos on fertilisation and implantation on YouTube. Every little twinge I'm feeling I'm like oooooh!!

I don't even know when I ovulated my FW ended Friday according to Flo but that's not always right, in the past when I have tracked the app said I would ovulate on day 14 and my peak on OPK was day 15 meaning the egg would be released after. I hope I caught the fw just in time 🤞🏻

Also - Superstore on Netflix... lighthearted comedy, short episodes and keeps me away from my phone 😂

I second superstore! Very funny... Glenn is the star of the show 🤣 also only 20ish mins. So perfect distraction time.

Hope you’re all doing well today! Trying not to symptom spot today I’ve worked out I could be 5DPO not the 7 I thought. Really not very good at this so far. 🤣 I’ll be sticking to the missed period now. But roll on Feb!!

Ooo I'll give them recommendations a try!

TTW is definitely a killer, never wanted time to pass so fast!

@lottieb92 Sandra is for me.. she is hilarious 😂 such a good show though. We watched a few episodes last night... def took my mind off the TWW.

Hey ladies - how are you all feeling today? Im already like when can I test???
What's the earliest we can test and do you think FRER is the best one to use?
