TWW! Lets keep eachother sane

[mumtoone2019]

Hey everyone!

Anyone else in the TWW! I'm halfway through and going insane😩 i've had so many symptoms and i think i've also had implantation bleeding but worried its all in my head!

How are you all getting on?

Hey, im 4DPO. So definitely with you in this TTW. How long have you been TTC?

Hi, I'm 7dpo without a single symptom. Already fed up with TWW and I'm only a week in AF due on 27th.
Implantation bleeding is a real possibility. How many dpo are you? I had it with my DD. I had it at 11dpo. Thought had early period (back then my periods were super light and only lasted 3 days) so thought I was out until two weeks later when I was constantly needing a wee and my mum asked if it was because I was pregnant!

Its crazy. With my first i had no symptoms now i seem to be feeling them all which is why i'm worried about it being in my head!

How long have you been trying for? And this is what i think was implantation bleeding - sorry if tmi x

This will be my 6th cycle. What about you?x

Yes me! I’m 5dpo and first cycle ttc #1 so am inventing possible symptoms all over the place! I’ve had headaches and lightheadedness, and I think I’m imagining that my boobs are a bit sore as it’s clearly far too early for all that! Only told one friend that we’re TTC so it’s nice to have people to share this with!

1000% with you as we havent told anyone as we dont want to put added pressure on ourselves but honestly i started with cramps like 2dpo, had headaches nauesea, tiredness, spotting sore boobs but i cant seem to shift the feeling that im getting my hopes up x

Me! AF is due on the 27th, had some weird brown spotting on the 13th (which I'm guessing was an ovulation bleed) and symptom spotting every single second since 😂. I've had cramps since a few days after the spotting but nothing else, however I don't usually get cramping until the day before AF arrives so we'll see!

Yes I am also halfway through! I think I ovulated last Thurs/Fri due to having an ultrasound with a 16mm follicle last monday. Driving myself insane symptom spotting. I have had:
-Bad lower backache all the time

• tired

-dry skin

• AF like cramps all the way from 2dpo! (these are really annoying me!!)

@ACMJ just out of interest, where abouts are your cramps? Like are they one sided, lower abdomen, tummy...? I started with cramps from a few days after ovulation, like a dull ache really low down pelvic area and they haven't gone away since 😕

@mumtoone2019 that looks positive. Just little pink spots on wiping.
@Bee44 we're due on the same day.
I'm holding out little hope as we've fertilty issues but as this would be DC#2, we cannot have help on the NHS. We haven't prevented for years and years but haven't 'tried'. It took us 3 years of TTC to conceive DC1 with OPKs and BBT etc
Here for a focussed, low expectations last ditch attempt at DC2.

@Bee44 Exactly the same as what you said, a dull ache low down in pelvic area which feels exactly like my AF is about to start. They are quite mild and don't really hurt but I notice they are there. Me too, I have had them since ovulation and they have not gone away. Weirdly they seem to get stronger if I walk up a hill/steps...

Hey everyone! Can I join? I'm 4 DPO on cycle 2 of ttc number 2. I had a chemical last month. After that I didn't think I would ovulate this month but I finally did at cd20!

So now in the tww and need serious distraction. We gave it a serious go this month 😂 for the 5 days before O and 2 days after. I'll be really disappointed if it isn't our month, I know I shouldn't say that though!

@WrongendoftheSTIX stay positive, every pregnancy is different! I don't have anything to compare to (this will be our #1) but I know of others who struggled with their first and had no issues with their second. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

@ACMJ that's so strange that we're both experiencing the same! I googled everything and searched on here too and no one had really commented about having aches similar to mine - excited to find out what it means for us both though!

Hey everyone I'm 7dpo today and already did an IC earlier 🤣😅 BFN of course! Been trying for 1 year+ and nothing so far. This was second month of using opks, last month was a long period within a 68 day cycle and no ovulation so was shocked when I got peak opk on days 10 and 12! 🤞 for everyone! Ill probably test again Sunday

Fingers crossed for you🤞🏻 i caved and took an early teat this morning and got a BFN 5 days before expected AF.

Sorry to hear of your BFN. I got one this morning too. Fingers crossed we all get our BFP Soon x

@Bee44 we're due on the same day.

I really hope so! Thanks for your feedback on it! I got a BFN today so feeling quite down x

@mumtoone2019 my Amazon IC's came last night so I did one too, BFN of course as my AF isn't due for another week so I'm not concerned (just wanted to see how the strip tests worked mainly). There's still plenty of time left for you to get your BFP this cycle! Remember, you're not out until AF arrives 🤞🏻

I did exactly the same - obviously way too early but used one of the cheap tests this morning too “for practice”. Obviously BFN but wasn’t really expecting anything else at this stage!

@Bee44 I am the same! No one has had the same symptom as me either so it is good to hear someone else has! Today I am 9dpo and have had the cramps on and off. Started to feel a bit unwell today as well like I was coming down with something...how are you today?

I haven't bought any IC this month as I KNOW I will use them. I didn't get a BFP until 16dpo with DC1. 8dpo is very early so you're not out yet.
My temp is dropping so I'm guessing it's a no go this month but had low hopes. Took 3 years with DC unlikely to be one month this time!

I just started a new thread then saw this straight after! I’m on 4DPO cycle 2 trying for baby 2 and time is going so so slow! I’m not the most patient person anyway but the TWW is torture haha...hope everyone’s doing ok and fingers crossed for lots of BFPs this month :)

@ACMJ my cramps seem to have disappeared today or less noticeable anyway. I'm super tired though, like barely able to keep my eyes open tired. AF is due a week today so I'm going to be symptom spotting for that this week I think! Have you got any other symptoms other than feeling unwell?

@Bee44 That’s good! It’s always nice to not have cramps haha. Erm a few, same as you really tired, either feeling really hungry or a bit nauseous and not wanting to eat. Also my lower back really hurts! I never know if it’s all in my head or not 😂 what about you?

The last week is always the hardest! I’m 4 days away now from the dreaded AF

@Bee44 oh and I’ve been SO angry 😂
