Just started my TWW, 1dpo today I think as I had my static smiley on Tuesday. We dtd on Friday and Saturday and twice on Sunday so hopefully I can still have a chance. DP is away so was unable to dtd since then. I'm only on cycle 2 of ttc but I am so impatient. Anyone else in the tww?

@TTC94 congratulations on getting your BFP I bet you want to shout it from the roof tops so of course don’t mind you posting! Really hope this one is a healthy, viable pregnancy for you 🤞😊

TTC94 · 19/04/2021 10:13

@minthumbugs and @LilsJ2 thank you both so much xxx

danielleb97 · 19/04/2021 13:16

Massive congratulations to you @TTC94 ✨💐!

Wishing you a happy & healthy pregnancy. 🥰

Hope everyone else is doing well. AF is due for me on Thursday Xx

minthumbugs · 19/04/2021 14:22

AF due on Thursday for me too @danielleb97, how are you feeling? Any signs either way? X

danielleb97 · 19/04/2021 14:54

Hey @minthumbugs, just typical AF symptoms. Huge appetite, sore boobs, mild cramps & mood swings. Though when I fell pregnant in December I didn't test until 4 days late because I was so convinced AF was just late - my symptoms were exactly the same as normal period ones!

What about you? Any symptoms? Do you think you will test before or just see if she shows up? X

minthumbugs · 19/04/2021 15:17

@danielleb97 my first symptoms last time were nausea and before that a strong sense of smell (which I didn't think of at the time, only after bfp!).

Right now I have nothing exciting going on tbh. Normally I get a huge appetite too, normally for chocolate haha. That hasn't kicked in yet but it is normally just a couple of days before AF. If AF doesn't arrive I'll wait until the weekend I think, don't want to make set plans for testing because last time AF surprised me early and it made me even more disappointed that I had a date in mind! That sounds mental lol. Will you be testing? X

danielleb97 · 19/04/2021 15:44

@minthumbugs I didn't get nausea consistently last time, but the day before I tested, I was sofa-ridden all day with waves of nausea every time I stood up! I have actually had a few waves of it from about 8/9dpo this month, but first thing in the morning when I get out of bed and doesn't even last 10 minutes.

It's so hard trying not to symptom spot isn't it. 😂 I promised myself I wouldn't this month, but I still log every little detail on my app. I know what you mean! I don't even have any tests in so definitely reduces the urge to test. Especially because I work from home. I definitely won't test Thursday, because since Feb AF has shown up on a Friday so I wouldn't be surprised if she turned up then... Maybe the 26th if she doesn't show up before then! Though I also hate the thought of being late and testing negative, so depressing. 😩x

minthumbugs · 19/04/2021 16:00

@danielleb97 I have actually had a couple of waves of nausea too but every pregnancy I've had it's been like that horrible can't do anything way so I don't think it's the same!

I'm the same, my app is like 'woke up facing the right today, had pins in needles in left toe for 4.5 minutes' 🙈😂 definitely know what you mean about testing late and getting BFN it's like there's still a wee bit of hope but you know you're just waiting it out! We can keep each other going and test on the same day, hopefully a good outcome for us both 🤞🏻

LovelyLion3 · 19/04/2021 16:52

How is everyone doing?

I'm at 5dpo today. Can anyone tell me what cm would look like at 5dpo if pregnant? Would there even be a change in cm? I'm new to checking that.

OP posts:
danielleb97 · 19/04/2021 17:25

@minthumbugs It's so weird, I never usually get it! I even asked my mum what else could be causing it other than that. I really don't think it's hunger because hunger sickness is familiar to me & I know it's not the same - god knows what's up with my body this month. 😅

Don't, I got up this morning and felt lightheaded and dizzy for a few minutes, got excited & logged it on my app. Then after an hour, I think hmm maybe it's because I only slept for 4 hours and I stood up really fast - I just have to log it in the moment 🤣 fingers crossed for us both. 🤞🏼

@LovelyLion3 I'm not bad thank you! Hope you're good. I don't usually check cm but from what I've read/seen I don't think changes in cm can indicate pregnancy, and I think 5dpo would be too early because you might not have implanted yet. ❤️ I have everything crossed for you though! Will you be testing early? x

LovelyLion3 · 19/04/2021 17:36

@danielleb97 Yes, I will definitely be testing early. 😂 You know I can't help it. I might test at 9dpo with a frer. If it's bfn then I'll wait a few more days. 🤞🏼

@LovelyLion3 keeping everything crossed for you, it only takes one time so there's still hope! I'm not sure about the cm if pregnant, I heard somewhere before that it stays watery/creamy if pregnant rather than going dry? I could be wrong though.

I know I'm only 1dpo but for some reason I'm still getting slight cramps as if my ovulation has pulled a muscle or something? I always have strong ovulation pains but I've never felt this before, I'm hoping it means something! 🤞🏼

LovelyLion3 · 19/04/2021 20:04

@November4 I'm 5dpo and have been cramping since Ovulation. It's really odd. But I had the same last month and wasn't pregnant.

OP posts:
minthumbugs · 19/04/2021 20:07

@danielleb97 haha TTC does bad things to us 😩 I've actually had dull cramps since this afternoon and some yellowish/almost pinky brown CM, I feel as if I'm on my way out this month tbh. I hope not though! X

@lovelylion3 think everything before implantation will be progesterone symptoms so could go either way, hopefully it's the good way!

LovelyLion3 · 19/04/2021 21:14

@FayLivvie Tagged you in this thread. Let's symptom spot together 😂 Will you be testing early?

OP posts:
danielleb97 · 20/04/2021 09:06

@LovelyLion3 I've got everything crossed you get your BFP this month. 🤞🏼✨

@minthumbugs It really does, doesn't it! I don't know if it's just me as well but this month feels like it's dragging so bad. It feels like a 5 week wait 🤣 I'm praying it's not AF for you! Could be implantation? 🤞🏼X

LovelyLion3 · 21/04/2021 07:55

How's everyone doing? Anyone testing soon?

Orwell08 · 21/04/2021 08:41

@LovelyLion3 I was just about to post the same thing. Wondering if anyone was having any symptoms? I’m 6 DPO today and was planning on testing on Monday. Not had any symptoms. Last month had loads of cramps, this time nothing at all. How about you?

minthumbugs · 21/04/2021 08:58

Hi @LovelyLion3 @Orwell08 I'm out unfortunately. AF came yesterday, I ovulated from my side with not tube so there was only a 25% chance but it still hit me hard! Feeling more positive today though. Good luck. X

Cherryblossom2021 · 21/04/2021 12:58

Hi everyone , hope you’re all still coping ok, I’m struggling with sickness and constipation right now!! Not going to test again till next weekend . It seems the smell of food just makes me want to throw up, made the OH lunch to take to work this morning and was gagging so much he came in the kitchen looked at me and said “you look rough go back to bed you must be coming down with something ‘!! I was so close to saying I think I’m pregnant but I really want to wait cos I know he’ll be so excited!
Right now I’m laying in my sofa and just get up every 1/2 hour and move the mouse on my computer so my work k ow I’m here!! Got do not disturb on teams so no one can talk to me Grin I just wanna lay here and do nothing.

Cherryblossom2021 · 21/04/2021 13:00

@minthumbug u ok? Don’t give up hope x

minthumbugs · 21/04/2021 13:21

All good @Cherryblossom2021! Was a bit down yesterday but that's to be expected on CD1 isn't it! There was only a small chance that cycle so hopefully this cycle will be the one 🤞🏻

Hope your symptoms are a good sign. X

LovelyLion3 · 21/04/2021 16:31

@Orwell08 I'm 7dpo today and have been cramping since ovulation. I'm just sleepy and super hungry. But I think I'm still out this month because we didn't dtd the day before, day of or day after ovulation. Only 3 days prior to it. I wanna hope it's possible but honestly think I'm out. I will test on Friday (9dpo) just in case.

OP posts:
LovelyLion3 · 21/04/2021 16:33

@minthumbugs I'm sorry! I think I'll be trying again next month too tho. Trying to stay positive but don't think it happened for me either this month.

OP posts:
LovelyLion3 · 21/04/2021 16:36

@Cherryblossom2021 I think you are pregnant. You did have a BFP already. Have you taken another one yet? Nausea is a good sign though we all hate it. 😂 I am also struggling with constipation right now but I'm only 7dpo.
