Another TWW thread!

[madeinthe80z]

Anyone want to join me in being thoroughly distracted for the next 2 weeks?!

I am on CD19. I have a 28 day cycle and no idea when I ovulated but had EWCM really early this cycle (CD11-14).
AF due on the 13th.

We have been taking the 'relaxed approach' for the past 3-4 months. If it doesn't happen this month, going to take a break next cycle to avoid a Christmas baby (anyone else thinking of this?!) and then get properly tracking with OPKs, maybe temping etc.

9po and another BFN! Thought I saw the worlds faintest line but probably not haha.

Sore boobs, nipples, acne and odd cramps still - worried having this many 'symptoms' before a line means it's AF arriving soon as there seems to be no HCG in my system!

Anyone have anything good happen because of TTC? I'm near giving up at this point, but I think it has definitely pushed me to be healthier which is a plus

Hi can I join?

5dpo here according to my app...
I did a test yesterday and of course it was bfn 🙈 I've ordered some cheapies so I can keep myself occupied without wasting precious CB tests!

I've sore boobs, gassy and some (tmi) yellow discharge. I normally don't have this until af is due..

I'll be testing on Monday since af is due on 14th.

Baby dust to everyone. How is everyone feeling today?

Hiya @melissa112 welcome!
Seems like a lot of us are due AF on the 13th!
@kayleaaa I hate when you get line eyes but if you thought there was something, maaaaybe there's hope?!

It won't be long till we get some squinter pics to review, thats becoming one of my very strange hobbies right now 🤣🤣

Welcome @Mysleepingangel ICs are definitely the way to go. I got a pack of 50 last month and I am reluctant to count how many I actually have left...oh the shame!

@Kayleaaa I've started eating healthier too and BMI has gone from 31 to 30.1. Still on the higher dose folic acid but if I lose another 1lb my BMI will be 29.9.

If I'm not pregnant then do you think its OK to move down to normal conception vitamins at that point?

Sorry about the BFN, still really early though 🤞. Will you test again tomorrow?

@Mysleepingangel your symptoms sound promising 🤞 testing on Monday too 🙂

@madeinthe80z I'm the same with the squinter test hobby haha

@madeinthe80z it's not shameful if it's kept you sane!

I've only ordered 10 because I need to focus on work as I'm a teacher and kids are back at school on Monday 🙈

@melissa112 oh fantastic! Testing buddy then x let me know your results! I'm sure I'll share asking fir squinters!

@Mysleepingangel it has kept me sane actually. It helps push it to the back of my mind for the day.

How is everyone feeling?

I've got nothing interesting going on!

@melissa112 that's great! Yeah I think so, I make sure to not change my vitamins until AF arrives just incase it messes with something! Oh I'll definitely test tomorrow!!

@madeinthe80z I'm definitely excited to see peoples squinters! If mine weren't stark white in photos I'd probably share haha.

I've got nothing on at the moment either! Being bored definitely doesn't help time go quicker during TWW!

I am trying to think positively about the future though. Starting some renovations of the house and making plans to redo the gardens - anything to keep me busy on days off!

@Kayleeaaa Yep keeping busy is key I think. I hardly thought about it today as I had a really busy work day. House and garden renovations sound fun, we have to do the same but with an 18 month old, we've been shying away from taking the plunge, not sure I could cope with my house in upheaval!!

So what is everybody doing with regards to tracking cycles and supplements for TTC??

I'm not doing anything but am going to get serious from May if it doesn't happen this month...

I only have 3 tests a friend gave me, would love not to have to buy more . We have renovations planned but I’m more dreading it as I get so unwell in pregnancy.

I’m taking folic acid and vitamin D, also vitamin b12 but I take that anyway as deficient. I did start with pregnacare conception vitamins the first month but not sure if they made my cycle longer and had a lot of spotting before af so I stopped those.

@Bellesjp I have read that about Pregnacare. Not sure I ever noticed it last time I was TTC but lots of people seem to have experienced it.

Well, here we are...into the 2nd week of the TWW. I have zero sy.ptoms this month. Boobs are fine, no cramps, feeling very normal 😐

How is everyone else feeling?

@Mysleepingangel I caved and tested today at 9dpo and BFN. Ugh. Will test again tomorrow but it was a FRER so worried im already out. AF not due til Saturday according to Flo. Are you still testing tomorrow?

@Kayleaaa how are you getting on with staying busy? Did you test again since the other day?

@madeinthe80z I use Flo to track cycles and have done for a few years now. I did uninstall the app after my first as didnt think we'd have another but it does seem pretty accurate now with predicting AF at least. Supplements I take folic acid and vitamin D with calcium. Once I get below the 30 BMI (1lb to go!) I might try the seven seas conception tablets. How about you? Oh and I use the CB digital ovulation kit too to find my peak.

I was feeling positive as I had some cramps yesterday and a bit today this morning but after my BFN I just feel a bit deflated.

I’ve not really had many symptoms so far, I had one dizzy day, my boobs are bit heavy but not sore and had cramps on and off. Tested this morning with ic at 10dpo and bfn 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hi @melissa112 hope you're well hun.
Aww well it's still too early isn't it, I'd test again around 12dpo.
I caved and tested yesterday as well but of course its negative coz I was only 6dpo!

I think I might test on Wednesday now because I'm getting myself upset over symptoms etc. I've been having cramps since yesterday again. Dunno if it is in my head. Also feel like af is on its way but isn't.

@Bellesjp your signs sound really positive, I've definitely read about dizziness being an early sign. When will you test again? X

@Mysleepingangel cramps are a good sign and it does sound too early for AF at 7dpo so could be implantation cramps? I've read they are normally around 6-12dpo so would fit with your symptoms. Good luck for Wednesday hun x

Can I ask your thoughts on this pic if that's ok? I tested this morning with FRER, 9dpo and BFN. Not even a glimmer of a squinter.

Out of utter madness I test again this afternoon. I dont even know why. But I think I can see something? I'm convincing myself that I can see pink in the line and in person it does look more pink but on the pic I'm not convinced?

@melissa112 I can see something in the bottom picture!!!! 😦

Tbh, I always get better opk results around 4pm and I'm thinking of testing around this time on Wednesday.

It was there before you did the test, was it?!

It wasn't there before I did the test. In the first 30 seconds I thought it was another BFN but after a minute or two I saw a very faint line. In person it looks like it could have pink in it, it's just thin.

It was a new low when I fished the test from this morning out of the bathroom bin to compare, it was the only thing in there but still 🤭. I just wanted to make sure there was nothing on it.
I'm still not convinced as I haven't really had symptoms other than some cramping yesterday but that was mid abdomen not pelvis?

I'll test in the morning and hope its more clear 🙂

@Mysleepingangel best of luck for Wednesday. Have you had any symptoms?

Sorry, meant to say the top pic is the test I did this morning and the bottom is the one I did this afternoon

@melissa112
Symptoms aren't always indicative of a pregnancy.

And I could tell the bottom one was from this afternoon, so that's saying something.

And I've done the fishing out of the bin, dw 😂
Thank you, I feel like there is a hard ball underneath my belly button? And like it feels tender to bend over?
I've had dull aches on and off for a few days. I don't know how I'll wait until Wednesday 😂

@Mysleepingangel will you be 10dpo on Wednesday? Seems like a good day to test 🙂 those signs definitely sound promising. Sorry I do realise you mentioned those symptoms before and I actually responded to them. So sorry to ask again!

Don't worry @melissa112 I forget all the time 😂
Yeah I'll be 10dpo as I'm 7dpo atm. Feel this weird pressure at the bottom of my tummy..

Mind you, we only dtd twice in FW so chances are slim 🙈 but don't want to give up hope yet

@Mysleepingangel it only takes one go 🙂 thats kinda what I have. Its hard to describe. I had the cramping yesterday but also like my belly is a bit full and achy. When I sneezed i got a weird pull but to be honest I've had that at normal times too. Hard not to symptom spot isnt it.

Please let us know how you get on when you test? Xx

@melissa112 I can defo see a faint line in the bottom pic!! Fingers crossed for a stronger line in a day or two 😃🤞🏼

I will probs test again in the morning with another ic, not sure they’re very sensitive ones I have as they were free with my opks lol but will see, keep thinking I see something but there defo wasn’t anything there on mine, did the whole hold up to the light thing 😂😂
