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

@Rainbowbaby16
I've had the odd 'pang' and one woke me up last night ... and scared me if I'm honest. It was so strong on my left ( which is where I've felt the twinges) it hurt !
But the cramps and pangs are all I've had so far!

Lozzie118 · 09/07/2021 09:58

Well I'm CD15 today and got a high on clear blue fertility monitor and a positive opk I'm confused tho as my cycle is only 25-27 days xx

Lozzie118 · 09/07/2021 09:58

And I thought I had my positive opk earlier in the week x

babyboybluex · 09/07/2021 10:10

@Charliecircle11 You've got this! Have you got any plans to keep distracted?

@Rainbowbaby16 Yeah, I've had this on and off for a few days now x

Freddief · 09/07/2021 10:38

Hi! 💕
I wondered if I could join? I'm on a couple of other threads but they don't seem to post often or talk about symptoms!

I'm really close in cycle to you @Rainbowbaby16 as I'm 8 DPO today, I so badly want to test but I know it'll be negative and bum me out!
I've also been experiencing little pains on and off, they started a couple of days ago and I thought I was about to come on but 2 days on and they've eased a little so I guess that's a good sign? Who knows, TTC is a minefield!!

Charliecircle11 · 09/07/2021 10:57

@babyboybluex we are away at the in-laws from tonight until Sunday, will test again Monday 😬

Cienega · 09/07/2021 11:11

Thank you @doodledeedum for the Instagram link X
Hi to all the new lovelies! Hoping this is a lucky thread and we all get our bfps! In the meantime we can obsess and symptom spot together 😂

Thought I'd throw a symptom update up here as I know I love reading about other ladies symptoms!
I'm 8dpo today (although there is a chance I could be 7dpo!)
I had pink cm at 4dpo and I've been cramping every day since, also have niggles but they are crampy, achey niggles as opposed to sharp ones.
Strange thing is the cramps seem to be more prominent in the evening!
My cold/flu symptoms are dissipating now. I'm eating more (mainly just want junk) and peeing more regularly. I had two really vivid dreams last night.
I'm at that stage now where I want to test morning and night! I did an opk this morn that was higher then it would be normally but not crazy high. Might use them to replace the poas urge!!

Hows everyone's symptoms? X

Elsie2021 · 09/07/2021 11:20

Can I join? I’m 9dpo today.

I keep changing between wanting to go and test now, to wanting to wait until I’m late.

If it was positive I obviously want to know ASAP! But I think I would be more upset to see a negative test than to have AF arrive.

So I will probably be testing some time between Sunday 11dpo and Wednesday 14dpo 🤞

Absolutely no symptoms whatsoever. Already kind of ruled myself out because although I got EWCM and a peak OPK my nipples aren’t sore this month like they normally are after O so not convinced my body managed it. It is my first cycle TTC after a missed miscarriage at 11 weeks in March so fully prepared for my body to still be doing strange things.

Baby dust to all ✨

Rainbowbaby16 · 09/07/2021 11:41

@Elsie2021

Sorry so to hear about your miscarriage, fingers crossed for this round for you.

Have you been temping? I only ask as if your temp is higher by at least 0.2 degree then that’s a good sign you have ovulated. Or so I have read.

fireflies9 · 09/07/2021 12:04

So I think I'm 5dpo today, CD14 but not sure as only going by EWCM which I got on CD 8 & 9. Flo app says I should have ovulated just 2 days ago but my cm has been lotion like since CD 10. I know that means I would've ovulated very early but sometimes this has happened where my EWCM is straight after AF.

Does anyone have any advice? Is it best to ignore cm and just do temperature checks?

So new to all of this any advice would be welcome! Xx

babyboybluex · 09/07/2021 12:10

Sounds like some of you have been through a lot, I can't even imagine and want to give you all a big squeeze Flowers

@Cienega Interesting symptoms friend! All sounds like it's pointing in the right direction. I'm glad your cold is getting better! I'm still bunged up with it.

My symptoms are tender breasts and sore nearer the armpit! A hint of dizziness and a light headache. Similar to when I was pregnant with my son!! I "feel" pregnant but I'm trying to play it cool haha.

@Elsie2021 Don't worry about symptoms too much, I do think forums make you think you should be feeling a certain way but truth be told it's so early and we won't feel very much until later on! Baby dust to you.

Looking forward to seeing some tests in here!

Cienega · 09/07/2021 12:28

@babyboybluex that all sounds so positive, especially the tender boobs under the armpit, that was one of my early symptoms after my bfp, crossing everything for you but it sounds very promising 🤞🤞
You're right about symptoms though, as much as I love reading about other people's symptoms in the tww they really are so different from one person to another and one pregnancy to another, I'm feeling so positive about some of my symptoms but then I don't have a few that I would have had on other pregnancies and it's making me doubt it all, I shouldn't be thinking like that!

@fireflies9 if it was me I would use something extra along with EWCM for reassurance and to pin point ov, only because I get my EWCM two or three days before I actually ovulate, it's gone before I even get my peak on opk, do might be no harm to use opks or testing alongside. You don't need to buy the expensive ones, I've used them all and find the cheap strips are the most reliable x

babyboybluex · 09/07/2021 12:28

Ok I know I know I know... blue dye tests are awful AND I shouldn't be testing at 8DPO but I have and both my partner and I can see a very faint line. It showed within the time frame so FRER is being bought this evening for tomorrow's FMU. Nervous!!

doodledeedum · 09/07/2021 12:44

@Cienega could
You show or link the strips you use please. I didn't realize I could get EWCM before a peak :/

Charliecircle11 · 09/07/2021 13:11

@babyboybluex fingers crossed for you 🙏🤞

MamaSJ15 · 09/07/2021 13:52

Hello, can I join please?
Currently 9dpo on cycle 3, TTC #2.
Had cramps and backache 7dpo and felt rather sick yesterday (could be totally unrelated though!).

Catch me up, where's everyone at in their cycles? X

babyboybluex · 09/07/2021 13:57

Hey @MamaSJ15 I am 8DPO today and feeling cramps deep in my uterus with some dizziness/tender boobs. This would be our second baby!

Best of luck to you. When are you planning on testing? x

MamaSJ15 · 09/07/2021 14:00

@babyboybluex that's a good sign, I'm really hoping my period doesn't come early, it came 4 days early last cycle 😟
I'm planning on waiting until I've missed my period, I just couldn't do with the uncertainty of testing early. I really want to though 😂 I have no tests in the house so it makes it easier! What about you? X

MamaSJ15 · 09/07/2021 14:01

Also, how old is your first?

babyboybluex · 09/07/2021 14:03

@MamaSJ15 Haha I wish I could be like you!! I did a test earlier on today and it came up with a faint line, although, it was a blue dye so I'm ignoring it for now. Will probably test when I'm 10DPO so Sunday!

My first turned one on the 17th of June. How old is your first? x

Cienega · 09/07/2021 14:10

Ooooohhhhh @babyboybluex that's so exciting!!! Post a pic of the test!! X

Cienega · 09/07/2021 14:13

@fireflies9 I buy firstvue tests from my local Dealz shop, I'm not sure if you have Dealz where you are, I'm in Ireland, but you can probably get them online too. This is the box, you get 5 strips inthe box and it's €1.50 a box 👌 I've never had a problem with them and my peak always shows up really clearly on them

TWW anyone? I’m 5 to 6 dpo?
babyboybluex · 09/07/2021 14:15

@Cienega I doubt you will see it as it's easier in person but for being so early it's quite exciting!! Wink

TWW anyone? I’m 5 to 6 dpo?
Cienega · 09/07/2021 14:16

Hi @MamaSJ15 🙋
