Am I in the TWW?

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! 💖

Yes could well be @chickennuggets2! I’ve heard that’s very common.
How many DPO?

(Had to check I got that right 😜)

Not due to test until Saturday FMU. I will be 11DPO then .... and 3 days before period. So hoping I’ll get some more solid answers. I know you aren’t out until AF, but as the days go by I’m sensing I didn’t try hard enough this trial month

Hope you’re all feeling okay! X

chickennuggets2 · 03/02/2021 13:30

Maybe, I do have a gut feeling it's going to be AF as I have had it every time I've gone to the loo, just popped a tampon in to assess lol. I think I'm 4-6 dpo.

I'm feeling okay though, just a bit bummed hubby is away next month so will have to get back on it after he's back, if AF is coming I just want it to come and be over with, we may get a few sessions in before he goes in the off chance it will hit my ovulation period🤣

sunflowersaremyfav93 · 03/02/2021 14:15

@chickennuggets2 that would be very early for AF though, is that normal for you? I'm more edging towards it being implantation bleed for you fingers crossed! And you're right every pregnancy is diff

@lottieb92 I got the ultra early CB tests so I can test Saturday as well but I think I'll see how I feel I'm going to try wait until AF is due otherwise I'll be getting through these tests every month!

The only reason I didn't go for FRER is because I read reviews on Amazon and a lot of people got false BFPs.. I couldn't handle the emotional rollercoaster I don't think.

I was obsessing a little last night then got stuck into some TV. I am drinking a glass of pomegranate juice a day (meant to help with implantation) and 3 Brazil nuts a day (also meant to help). Been giving the Brazil nuts to OH too as they're meant to be good for sperm.

Going to MIL for a takeaway on Saturday night (she lives alone so we're a bubble) and she mentioned fizz to celebrate our house selling but I reallly don't want a drink and find it awkward saying no because I don't want the questions you know? She's absolutely brilliant and wouldn't make a fuss but I kinda wanna keep it close to us that it might even be a possibility.

Sorry that was a long one!!

@sunflowersaremyfav93 not normal but I wouldn't say impossible, just because I know things can change. Guess we will see...

Ah I had that once when trying for DC1 , I used to just say oh I've gone off Prosecco if they were offering that, or etc lol!

lottieb92 · 03/02/2021 16:42

@chickennuggets2 hope you’re okay I’m rubbish with experience of bleeding as I’m not expert, but my twin sister had bleeding for a few weeks with her second pregnancy... she’s now 32 weeks ⭐️ Fingers all crossed that even if AF does come she will be short and sweet and ready to get in some time with hubs before he goes away 🤣

@sunflowersaremyfav93 makes total sense. That’s a reason I went for the more pricey tests I don’t want to be confused/ and upset with the lines!
You’re right the heartbreak isn’t worth it! So got to go with what you feel confident with.

If you don’t test Saturday maybe say you’ve got a bit of headache? Or you’re driving haha ... any of those I used before I shared the news with my first! But then I didn’t know I was pregnant until new year and I certainly didn’t know New Year’s Eve! I defo had more than one then haha ... 😬

It’s a good plan to wait.. Part of me thinks (to myself) why test Saturday it isn’t that long until your period so just wait .. but it’s mostly because the test is in the cupboard 🤣 I’ll take a photo anyway and keep you posted x

chickennuggets2 · 03/02/2021 17:00

@lottieb92 thank you! I'm all good, just chill about it what will be will be!

Have you guys had anymore symptoms?

rosamay48 · 04/02/2021 11:54

Nothing to report here Sad but I could only be 6DPO. AF due 12th so I've got a bit of time.

Tbh I'm not sure what to look out for, eventhough I've googled it a million times and you've all been great in describing symptoms Confused

I've not been on here for a few days, but sounds like everyone's keeping high spirits during the waiting game.

sunflowersaremyfav93 · 04/02/2021 12:20

Hi ladies

I'm nit even sure what dpo I am.. 6 I think? I can't imagine I'll be getting a BFP this month, I'm thinking I wasn't tracking ovulation and it was the DTD on the last day of my fertile window (according to the Flo app) so I will save my CB tests for next cycle and I have a cheapie Sainsburys one which I'll use if I really feel like I want to.

Apparently implantation happens between 6-10dpo so anything I’ve felt up to now will just be increase in hormones. Oh it’s a fun old game this TTC isn’t it!!

rosamay48 · 04/02/2021 12:52

@sunflowersaremyfav93 oh it really is fun and games, but its nice to have people to chat to about it and than my partner Smile I feel its way too early to chat to friends in person (well via phone/zoom) about it.

lottieb92 · 04/02/2021 14:20

Not much to report here 😛 I am 10dPO or maybe 9... I’m using my app/ instinct for the first month.

A first response negative from me today. Which is okay, some ladies get their result early some have to wait it out a little longer. 😘
Best of luck over the last stretch of this wait! X

sunflowersaremyfav93 · 06/02/2021 09:12

Hi ladies! How are you all doing? I think I'm out this month... it just feels like AF will be here soon.
Will any of you be testing this weekend? Xxx

OP posts:
lottieb92 · 06/02/2021 09:39

Hey @sunflowersaremyfav93 think I’m out from today. AF due the 10th so I know they say it’s not over haha, but can sense it’s not my month.
I have a FR in the drawer should it not appear 🙌🏻😅 but won’t hold my breath.

sunflowersaremyfav93 · 06/02/2021 09:47

Yep I'm the exact same as you.. I can just feel AF coming, I need to go pick up my CB tests for the Amazon locker but they'll be used for next month. When's your next fertile week, I think our cycles are pretty much in sync.

No symptoms to report here so holding out til AF, predicted 12th. This week has started to go so slowly!! Think my cycle is a bit longer, the tww feels like 3 weeks 😂

lottieb92 · 07/02/2021 10:08

@sunflowersaremyfav93 next fertile according to my app is roughly from 21st feb- 28th? Which is a bit long ahha. So I’d have to get some OPKs.
I can’t decide we we’d like a baby I’m November / December though. Which is so daft. Because it could never happen. We just have about 7 family birthdays already in those few weeks. And it was meant to be our rearranged/ cancelled wedding in December instead of this April.
All feels a little flat at the mo, but at least I have a little while longer to decide. What will be will be 🥰

sunflowersaremyfav93 · 07/02/2021 10:20

Ah mines 22-28 Feb so we'll be in the TWW again if you go for it. I know what you mean, a December and Jan birthday wouldn't be my first choice but every birthday would be special and like you say, may take a few months to fall as well.
I took a test yesterday, not using FMU and it was negative which I expected, I think I'm out but will wait and see if I come on this week. I'm due on Thursday I think.. I woke up feeling a bit sick this morning and keeps having odd cravings but the symptoms are so close to PMS there isn't much point me guessing. 😂

OP posts:
lottieb92 · 07/02/2021 21:07

@sunflowersaremyfav93 yes we would be!! I’m due Wednesday ... you never know we aren’t out until she’s here as they say 😘
I’m fresh out of tests though so that’s good. Nothing for me to do but wait 🤣

lottieb92 · 09/02/2021 10:54

@sunflowersaremyfav93 hope you’re okay lovely!
I’m out from today a nice and early AF. But it’s interesting my cycles are all over the shop! 29 days 28/31 haha. Nightmare! Onto the next one!

Best of luck! X x

sunflowersaremyfav93 · 09/02/2021 11:22

Hi @lottieb92 all good here, just waiting for AF to arrive. I'm due Thursday so could happen anytime I feel like she's on her way though, I can always tell by my mood and how hungry I feel.
Ah on to the next cycle! The sooner she comes and goes the sooner you can get back to baby dancing. Are you feeling ok about it?

OP posts:
rosamay48 · 10/02/2021 13:41

I think I'm out for this month as well, AF due Friday but I'm getting nothing in terms of symptoms or changes and got a negative test this morning. I'm feeling quite blue about it but trying to be realistic that it was highly unlikely to happen so soon.

On to the next!
