TWW anyone? I’m 5 to 6 dpo?

[Rainbowbaby16]

Going crazy symptom spotting and peeing on sticks, trying to interpret what results I have. 😫. Anyone going through the TWW?

@Rainbowbaby16 Me! 7DPO today and want to test so badly. Going to try and hold out though!

I hope this is our month!

I have zero will power atm. And the bfn are really getting me down. Why do I do it lol 😂. I’m only 6 dpo at the most and it’s way to early. But just keep hoping for a miracle I guess. Feels like waiting forever doesn’t it….

Really hope we both get our bfp this month. Fingers crossed 🤞 for us both

@Rainbowbaby16 You've got this!! I was literally away to do a test but thought no, you can wait 😂

When are you next going to test? I'm going to try and do one at the weekend!

Meeeee!!! I think I'm 8po eeeeek

You have some proper will power lol. I have none 🤪. Did a free this morning as well and nothing. What symptoms has anyone got?

Mine are

Cramping on and off since 4 dpo
Sore nipples since 4 dpo but that has now changed to more achy under arm and underneath my boobs.
Clear cm when wiping (sorry for tmi)
Slight back ache from 3 dpo

@Rainbowbaby16 Haha I'm not normally like this, however, this was our first month using OPK and I feel really positive so I don't want to see a negative if I test too early

Yeah I've had cramping and tender breasts but that's about it. A bit more hormonal in terms of my mood but that could be anything!

Your symptoms sound really good! Keep us posted on your tests

@doodledeedum Oooooh! When are you testing? How have you been feeling?

A warm reminder that no one would test positive at 6dpo, so maybe get the partner to hide the tests!

I'm 6dpo also and nearly 100% sure that we missed ovulation and therefore missed our chance this cycle. Really upsetting as I have massive long cycles so not many chances!

Which brand of ovulation strips did you use? I used mom med. and clear blue to confirm. My peak was a week ago today on the 1st July. So I’m guessing that makes me 6 dpo?

@Rainbowbaby16 I use the Easy@Home with the Premom app. I was really impressed with it all! I like that you can log your tests and see the progress (also kept a little notebook with a table).

We DTD on CD7, CD9, CD11, CD12, CD13 and then CD18 and my peak was CD13. Couldn't cover ovulation day so it's a waiting game.

Do you have some distractions during the 2WW?

I have a ton of work I should be doing lol 😆. My mind just keeps wondering at every twinge and headache and boob ache. Nightmare! I have kept a book of opks. But don’t know how to up load the pics.

Also I have read that dtd before the release of the egg is best, so when you see your peak. So I wouldn’t worry too much about missing ovulation day.

My poor bf was knackered as I rode him like sea biscuit every night until 2 days ago 🤣. Think he’s glad I was watching the footie last night to distract me 🤣.

I really do pray for some good news over the next few days as it’s my daughters birthday and also the anniversary birthday of my other daughter who sadly passed away.

@babyboybluex I stupidly tested this morning on my second wee (what an idiot) just to get the thoughts out of my head. I don't know what I'm doing to myself.
Last time ( I MC in May) I was pregnant I felt twinges but I had been working out so I didn't know if I was getting sore boobs, the cramping lasted a day. I then got a terrible cold which floored me.... now I know why.

This time I have cramped for 2/3 days and was constipated ( sorry tmi) but NOTHING else so I think I may be out :( I am almost hoping for all the same symptoms and I've driven myself crazy looking for anything that says it can be different each time!
I think il now try and wait till sat/sun ( I won't but I'll TRY!)

@Rainbowbaby16 Oh that made me giggle ' rode him like a sea biscuit' !
I'm so sorry about your daughter xx

@Rainbowbaby16 Haha I'm with you on that! My thoughts are consumed with TTC at the minute. I'm pretty sure on the Premom app there is a section for "other" brands of test so you may be able to upload them on there?

That's so reassuring to hear again, a few other ladies have said the same!! I was going to ask if you think you covered enough days but it sounds like you have That made me smile!! It's not easy when we are nagging at them to BD is it! Glad it's the 2WW so we can all chill out.

How old will your daughter be? I'm also really sorry to hear about your daughters anniversary, that is really tough. You are a strong lady!!

@doodledeedum It's so hard to ignore the urge! It's early days for you still so don't lose hope. Really sorry to read about your MC and I pray this month is the one for you

I've currently got a cold and some ladies have been saying that's a good sign haha... not sure! You aren't out yet, do a test at the weekend and keep us posted. I've got my fingers crossed for you x

@doodledeedum
Don’t be so hard on yourself sweet. It’s a frustrating and emotional rollercoaster all this TTC. And it’s defo ok to take a trip to crazy town known and again just try not to live there.

As for testing, if it puts your mind as ease slightly then pee on as many sticks as you want. Or in my case can afford…

If that line is going to come up, it will… and the sooner you know the better you will feel.

That’s the way I see it anyway. And yes the earlier you test the more unlikely you’ll get a positive, but hey I’d rather see a negative (which I hate) than not know. That line will come up eventually. I have to use strips normally as I tend to dismantle, which I know is pointless but cannot help myself.

Can I join?! 7dpo and I have woken up ridiculously emotional today for no reason. Don’t know what’s wrong with me. Feel like I could either cry at the drop of a hat or flip out and it’s a fine between the two! Got a lump in my front constantly

@babyboybluex
My daughter will be 10 on Saturday bless her. And my other daughter would have been 16! I have my youngest daughter also who’s 6. My little 😇 angels. My youngest has just combated stage 4 cancer, she’s a proper fighter and in remission now. So perfect time for a baby brother or sister.

Lump in my throat sorry, not front!

@Charliecircle11

Of course you can join us sweet, bless ya, I know the feeling, some days just get too much. Could be hormones changing as well tho? Which could potentially be a good sign for you.

God it's so nice to have been able to jump in on a group in time. I see so many that just escape me 

@Rainbowbaby16 honestly I am up and down- my moods have been terrible ( a sign??!) but yes I'd rather see the negative and get on with my day- almost desensitising myself I think 🤔

I have loads of strips from the testing I had to do to see my hcg go down from the MC . I'm just going to be using them up. I agree- it will show if it's there anyway!
Logically I know I won't see anything. Even when I did get my last BFP it was faint around the day I was due last time

@babyboybluex a cold is a good sign- I'm sniffly and slight sore throat- could be anything from allergies to covid now a days. I'm trying not to get too excited ( about a cold! Who would have thought lol!)

@Charliecircle11 awwww I know how you feel hun. I've been up and down for about 5 days!!! Verge of breakdowns to complete euphoria and laughing 😆

@Rainbowbaby16 gosh you've had a time of it haven't you :( I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you all x

@TheDaydreamBelievers

Sorry your feeling so upset, and just a thought, have you tried any fertility supplements? I had very irregular and long cycles, I’ve been taking fertility smart for 5 weeks now and my peaks are much easier to predict now. Not sure if it will help with pregnancy but it defo helped me ovulate. X

@Rainbowbaby16 I've tried myo inisitol which had no effect. Will look at this, thank you x

@doodledeedum glad it’s not just me. Hoping it is a good sign that I will get my BFP this month

@Charliecircle11 Hey! Sounds like a hormonal change and can be either signs of pregnancy or PMS! Online it says if you don’t normally experience PMS, this might be an obvious sign of pregnancy for you We are all here for you as it can be a stressful time!

@Rainbowbaby16 Wow, you are incredibly strong mama. I can't even begin to imagine the pain but your strength is powerful. I am so glad your youngest is ok You have got this, keep being positive and it will happen.

@doodledeedum Me too!! I've been secretly happy about the cold even if it's horrible to have. I hope you feel better soon!

@Rainbowbaby16 hope so 🤞 so glad to hear that your daughter has got the all clear now. What a horrendous time for you all. As you say, time for more positive things ahead for your family. Fingers crossed for you ❤️
