Anyone on a TWW? 7dpo and thought it would be good to start a thread to support on another

I am! I think I'm about 11DPO now, but I didn't ovulation test around my peak this cycle for various reasons so I'm just guessing from CM.

AF is due on Sunday so I'm just trying to keep myself occupied until then. Took a FRER yesterday and got BFN so I don't think this will be my cycle but I know it's not over till AF makes her grand appearance. Not going to test again till Sunday at least.

When are you due AF?

Kristinax · 21/07/2021 14:22

I'm on tww too, Im only 2dpo now though so got a long wait yet! It's our 2nd month of properly trying and I can already see myself going crazy haha
Fingers crossed this will be a lucky thread, and good luck to you girls :)

Rjec · 21/07/2021 14:23

Hi, fingers crossed for you. AF is due the 28th according to ovia, but uts usually right. I'm struggling to not symptom spot 😩

Only my second month trying too! First cycle I pretty much missed ovulation, so knew it wouldn't happen for me then. This cycle I've been paying much more attention to fertile window obsessing over every tiny change in my body

Kristinax · 21/07/2021 14:44

Fingers crossed it'll be our month! It's funny how we're all on our 2nd cycle, do either of you have any kids already, or is this first time ttc?
We only managed to DTD once last cycle when I ovulated, this month we managed to catch ovulation and the days before/after, so fingers crossed its worked cause it wasn't easy in this heat haha

heymacaroner · 21/07/2021 14:58

@Kristinax I admire your commitment in this heat!! Grin Are you tracking ovulation at all or just judging on symptoms?

It would be our first. We got married in December and originally the plan was to wait for a year to enjoy the newlywed bubble but I got to a point where seeing pictures of friends new babies was making me cry (yes tragic) so we decided to start trying earlier. DH is a few years older and has been ready for a while now so he was chuffed to get going.

Would this be your first too?

lilrosemarie · 21/07/2021 15:07

I'm in the end of my TWW. 13dpo, period due tomorrow. Have done a few tests, most were bfn. I got a tiny and very faint line on a cheapie test, bjt I'm not trusting that. Will now try to stay away from tests for at least a couple of days.

We also just got married (October) and are ttc our first bebe. 🤞🏻 We've been trying for half a year now. 😬

Yas34 · 21/07/2021 15:08

Hi everyone I hope I can join.

OH and I are on cycle 5 for baby #1 this is 14 DPO. I took a cheap pregnancy test today, I have no experience in reading test so I have no idea if this is positive or just nothing.

What do you think? Took the picture 5 mins after the test.

AllyCat31 · 21/07/2021 15:17

Hey, 9DPO here and tests are white like the driven snow 😂 no hint of a line at all but still early days. Using Amazon cheapies but I have from FRER for the weekend when I should be 12/13DPO. I have my vaccine booked for Sunday but might push it back a few days till AF comes just in case (I know it’s fine to get it while pregnant, just being cautious)
Anyone got any symptoms? I was really bloated for the first week which isn’t normal but now have no symptoms at all except a high temp

AllyCat31 · 21/07/2021 15:19

@Yas34 that looks positive to me!

Bancha · 21/07/2021 15:20

4 DPO over here! First month TTC our second. And first month TTC at all after DD was a surprise. I seemed to ovulate really early this month, CD11 according to the ovulation stick, so no idea when to test or when my period should be. Good luck everyone!

Bancha · 21/07/2021 15:24

@Yas34 definitely looks positive! Congratulations!

Yas34 · 21/07/2021 15:27

@AllyCat31 I really hope your test comes back positive :)

I will test again the coming days, just to be on the safe side. AF is due tomorrow, hopefully she stays away!

Good luck everyone.

Kristinax · 21/07/2021 15:30

@heymacaroner yeah I'm tracking it, I got the CB ovulation monitor, I hope it'll be worth the purchase! Are you?
Aw congrats on the wedding! Omg yeah it can be so difficult when people around you are all having babies, it's always scary as well knowing it doesn't always happen that quickly for everyone. But hopefully it won't be a long wait for you! It's nice that your DH is also excited and supportive I'm sure! It's our first time ttc as well Grin

@lilrosemarie even a faint line is positive news! Hold off a few days and hopefully you'll have some good news! I've heard FRER are good for catching it early :)

@Yas34 I can definitely see a line there! When is your AF due? It's definitely looking positive, maybe do another one tomorrow and see if the line is any darker? Grin

@AllyCat31 9dpo is still really early so fingers crossed there will be a line in a few days! Good luck on testing! I'm only 2dpo so no symptoms here but last month I had all the symptoms but my AF arrived anyways so will try and not sympton spot too much this month haha

lilrosemarie · 21/07/2021 15:48

@Yas34 mine was like this at 12/13dpo. 😬 Baby dust to you! 🎉🎉🎉

TWW
Yas34 · 21/07/2021 15:52

@lilrosemarie thanks for sharing! We’re in the same boat :)

I’m crossing my fingers for both of us!
Good luck

heymacaroner · 21/07/2021 16:17

I'm sure I can see a very faint line there @Yas34! How exciting! Let us know how you get on over the next few days.

@Kristinax I haven't decided yet for next cycle. This cycle I used boots OPK test strips but I didn't start until after I think I had ovulated, mainly because I was panicking a bit that I hadn't used them so I wanted to check for a late peak in case. I want to wait until AF appears this weekend before I buy any more, as I feel I'm jinxing it somehow to get some this week. Think if I do then I'll go for the CB one too, let me know how you find it.

Lovely to have so many of us in the TWW together Smile I haven't told any RL friends we're TTC so it's really nice to be able to chat to some women on here.

Kristinax · 21/07/2021 17:38

@heymacaroner Yeah it's crazy how superstitious we can get, I don't even want to buy anything for my AF just in case I jinx it haha it's definitely worth doing to pin point when you're ovulating etc, though it's so easy to become obsessed with these thinge and sometimes relaxed way is the best way!
Yeah I'll let you know how they go! So far I find them easy to use and they seem to pinpoint my peak days fine (or at least so I hope) Grin

AllyCat31 · 21/07/2021 19:32

Thank you @Yas34 & @Kristinax I’m trying not to get any hopes up but hoping watching along with other people here kills the time!

Anyone do anything to support implantation? I’ve started taking vitamin c &e and having pomegranate juice as I’ve heard that helps get a nice thick uterus lining but no idea if it’ll work

Kristinax · 21/07/2021 21:46

@AllyCat31 yeah it keeps you occupied doesn't it, and it's comforting to know there's loads of people going through the same thing!

No nothing, I'm only taking multi vitamins and folic acid atm :) and not drinking in the tww etc but nothing major!

Bancha · 22/07/2021 07:23

How many DPO would you guys start testing? And would that change if you ovulated early? I’m not too optimistic for this month as I just caught ovulation but I will want to test anyway!

Lollymoo4 · 22/07/2021 07:45

Can I join?! 6dpo today and my mind is racing!!! Doing 2 bbt charts, one said my temps showed ov day 17 but opk didn’t peak til 19&20 so I think I actually ov on cd21 (6 days late for me 🙈) ff agrees with me on this so I’m going with that!!! I usually have sore boobs from ov but nothing this month - do you think this means I didn’t actually ov in the end? I’ve been ttc for 11 months now and this month has been the strangest!! Anyway just nice to chat about it as no one around me really gets it!!! Fingers crossed and baby dust to you all!!

Hopefull1981 · 22/07/2021 09:57

Can I join you ladies. I think I am 2 days DPO? I got my solid smiley on Sunday evening with 2 peaks on the OPK Monday and Tuesday. All baby danced out. Had a MMC at the beginning of June so this is the first cycle since. Really hoping it works out this month for you all.

Yas34 · 22/07/2021 10:25

@Bancha I didn’t test until 13 DPO.
I’m giving it a few more days before testing again. AF is due today…
Good luck everyone and I’m hoping to hear about many BFPs here!
