Anyone want to TWW with me?

TTC No2, 12th cycle but was to be expected as took 18 months to conceive DD and I have very long irregular cycles. I have had my typical bloating, pelvic pain, and nausea that I always get around ovulation yesterday and had increased CM for a few days so think I ovulated yesterday or possibly today as still feeling bloated this morning.

Not holding out much hope this month to be fair as DD has been unwell so we've been shattered and in the hospital with her so only managed to DTD last night which may well have been to late!

Anyone else at the beginning of TWW want to wait it out with me? 🙂

I think today is OD so I'll join you! TTC #1 and this is cycle 18 so not holding my breath!

I had a peak OPK on Sat and no temp rise yet hence why I'm thinking today is the day. If so then I've managed to BD on O, O-2 and O-4 so should be covered at least :)

How long is your LP usually - when would AF be due? Due you test at all or wait until the witch is late?

I'm currently 3dpo. TTC#1 cycle 10/11. Managed to DTD on O, O-1, O-4, O-5. I thought I was out this month a DP working away. But I ovulated late. I dislike the TWW and trying so hard not to symptom spot. I also have a 16 day literal phase so I find the wait soo long

Littlepoppet1 · 18/05/2021 12:35

I know that feeling @Juno231 it took that long for me with DD. Have you set the ball rolling with the GP or anything? Sounds like you're well covered this month! My LP is usually 14 days so AF due on 31st. I have previously tested early but purposely not bought any tests the last few cycles so I can't as it stresses me out. I always usually start spotting a good 3 days before AF due so usually have a good idea going off that.

@LemonDrizzle44 it sounds like you are pretty well covered too! I'm with you in hating the 2WW, I don't find the first week too bad as I know it's too early for symptoms etc but from about 7dpo I symptom spot like crazy!

I'll join you!
I'm 33, TTC#1 on cycle 6. Feeling cautiously optimistic this month as we are trying the SMEP. Peak OPK on Sat so I'm on DPO3-ish.
Is it sad I've already marked on my calendar to test on Fri 28th? Normally I'd just wait it out until the day before AF is due but its a bank holiday weekend and I want a drink guilt free Grin

Minnie296 · 18/05/2021 13:15

I'll join also I'm 4DPO - OV Saturday ish DTD Wednesday and Friday we have a 2 year old who sleeps in our bed so trying to fit it in whilst she's at nursery on Wednesday and Fridays 😂 not feeling too hopeful but wishing everyone baby dust xx

Minnie296 · 18/05/2021 13:17

Just read what @SareBear87 but I am actually 3 DPO honestly thought it was Wednesday for a minute 🙈 x

FayLiv · 18/05/2021 13:24

I had my 2 smileys Friday and Saturday. We dtd Friday eve, Saturday morn and Sunday night. No way of confirming it ovulation occurred then or a day later tho as I don't temp. Do you think I managed it enough? I hope so! Now 3dpo (I think)
I have a busy couple of weeks working so that will take my kind off the usual symptom spotting! It can't come soon enough though.
I really hope we did it this month! Sending lots of luck x

FayLiv · 18/05/2021 13:24

Friday night, Saturday morning and night sorry (not Sunday)

Juno231 · 18/05/2021 13:50

@FayLiv sounds like you're covered!

@Littlepoppet1 my LP is 12 days so due AF on the 31st as well! @SareBear87 reminded me of the bank holiday weekend so might test on the 29th for the same reasons. Yeah I'm officially declared as having unexplained infertility by the NHS, just waiting to be put on their IVF waiting list but hoping it will happen naturally in the meantime. Seems unlikely though?

@LemonDrizzle44 I'm the same - the second week draaaags and my LP is 4 days shorter than yours!

Ttcbn2 · 18/05/2021 14:07

I’m around 9dpo and this tww is so harddd 😭😂 tested today of of course its negative 😭 praying that changes! X

Littlepoppet1 · 18/05/2021 15:59

Ah yay there lots of us to wait together then! Sounds like you're all really well covered with the DTD! I'm still feeling quite bloated and getting twinges today so I'm hoping maybe I haven't ovd yet but CM has dried up so I do think it was yesterday and last night's effort was prob too late but we'll see!

OP posts:
Juno231 · 18/05/2021 16:23

@Littlepoppet1 I see lots of FF charts where they only managed to BD the day of ovulation so I doubt you're out! Fingers crossed for you.

Juno231 · 18/05/2021 16:24

And still managed to conceive I should add lol

Littlepoppet1 · 18/05/2021 16:28

@Juno123 I hope so! So annoying that the first month in ages that I ov at a normal time we can't BD enough!! My last cycle was 52 days long. CD19 today and the cycle I conceived my DD I ovd on CD20 and had a successful pregnancy so not too worried about that.

Just jumping on...

How's everyone getting on? I'm 7dpo and I think I'm about to rip my hair out for waiting. I have a bad feeling about this month because I have no symptoms. Suppose I'm not out until AF comes knocking! x

Minnie296 · 20/05/2021 11:01

@hopenwish I caved and done a test obviously it was a BFN I couldn't wait any longer! X

Juno231 · 21/05/2021 14:54

3DPO so still twiddling my thumbs! Got my first jab on Tuesday at 7DPO so a bit worried it will mess with chances of implantation but oh well!

Littlepoppet1 · 22/05/2021 18:44

Im about 5dpo I think...possibly 6. DD still been unwell all week so as rubbish as it's been it's been a good distraction!

@Juno231 I have my second one on Thursday next week, it hadn't crossed my mind actually but I know what you mean! Hopefully won't effect things 🤞

Hey girls! I'm only 9dpo but I tested. I've had a couple miscarriages and each time I was pregnant before it started with really sore boobs. I have no sore boobs but I've felt a bit sick and gaggy and I'm never sick so I thought I'd take a test at 9 at night

Am I crazy? There is definitely a line right? I took the photo exactly 3 mins after the test. I shouldn't have tested so early because now I'm panicking because no sore boobs and a bit crampy Confused

I hope you're all doing good. I hope you all get not panicky BFP x

Anyone want to TWW with me?
FayLiv · 22/05/2021 21:48

Oh that's definitely a line! Congratulations I would take that as a positive fingers crossed for you!

How long have you felt sick at 9dpo? X

hopenwish · 22/05/2021 22:16

@FayLiv thanks! Fingers crossed!

I had a throat infection and fever on Tuesday (got a covid test and it was negative). I dry heaved when scooping the cat's litter Wednesday & Thursday but chalked it up to the throat infection. I had 4.5hr drive last night and back this morning and had to pull over on the motorway bc I thought I was going to be sick. Just had an inkling when I go home

I normally have a very strong stomach. Could all be coincidence though!

Juno231 · 26/05/2021 12:56

@hopenwish oh wow congrats! How are you feeling now - have you checked line progression?

@Littlepoppet1 how are you holding up?

Had a temp rise and RHR rise today at 8DPO but not holding my breath as I also had my first jab yday!

hopenwish · 26/05/2021 15:26

@Juno231 I got a really strong line yesterday but I'm fairly sure it's going to be a chemical as I just starting lightly spotting. I think I knew it was going to happen though because my boobs weren't sore 🙄 on to next month

Anyone want to TWW with me?
Juno231 · 26/05/2021 15:46

@hopenwish oh wow that is a strong line! You could just be having implantation spotting - fingers crossed it's not a CP. Early implantation has a greater chance of sticking plus that is a strong line so hopefully it's nothing bad at all xx how many dpo are you?

SareBear87 · 09/06/2021 22:18

@hopenwish just thought I'd check in with you. Is all ok? Xx
