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

@Bancha if you have the willpower I'd hold off until your AF is due, saves you wasting tests/ getting false negatives, but that's easier said than done! Some people get positive resault as early as 8dpo tho!

@Lollymoo4 I always assume I ovulated on the latest day possible, saves me testing super early/ if AF comes early then at least it's a shorter wait! Haha. No I don't think that would mean you didn't ovulate, especially if you got peak on OPK :)
Yeah I'm the same, haven't told friends nor family that we're ttc so it's nice to have this little community! I also found out yesterday that I have to self isolate for 10 days so yaayy, can't wait to be bored and lose my mind in this tww! Haha

@Hopefull1981 welcome! Sorry to hear about your MMC :( fingers crossed this will be your month, baby dust to you! Have you been ttc for long?

Hopefull1981 · 22/07/2021 11:27

Hi Kristinax. We have a little girl who just turned 2 and started trying in Feb this year, got pregnant in March, but it wasn't to be. That was so difficult. We had already had our scan with consultant and heard the heartbeat. Would have been sectioned on the 21st of December. Fingers crossed for us all.

Rjec · 22/07/2021 15:11

Its such an exciting time but I'm sooooo nervous waiting to test. Baby dust to all x

@Kristinax isolating during the tww 🙈😬 I’d drive myself nuts!!! I’ve literally just been set free from isolation so I know how you feel!! Thanks for the positivity too as I was beginning to convince myself I was out so I’ll keep waiting and not test just yet - easier said than done!!! 🙈🙈

MrsJ6921 · 22/07/2021 15:36

@Kristinax

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 :)
We’re in a similar position to you! However, this is our first cycle 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Kristinax · 22/07/2021 17:23

@Hopefull1981 I'm so sorry to hear, that must have been heartbreaking. I can't even imagine, it must be so tough going forward as well, guess you can't help but worry. Glad you have your lil girl to keep you busy and take your mind off it, FX for you this month and I really hope the next one is a sticky baby!

@Lollymoo4 Ah I know, it's only day two and I miss the freedom already, not to mention it's the worst timing! haha definitely easier said than done, I envy anyone who waits a week after their missed AF, like...how?! But good luck when you do decide to test :)

@MrsJ6921 aw good luck to you, fingers crossed you're one of the lucky one's and succeed on the first try! 🤞Did you use any OPK's?

Hopefull1981 · 22/07/2021 17:44

Thanks @kristinax. Well we just went sale agreed on another house about an hour ago. Nothing like all that to keep the mind busy. I was never one for symptoms in the TWW but jeez my boobs are sore. It could be nothing but it’s definitely noticeable. Really hope we all get good news at the end of this TWW.

@Kristinax yep! I’ve been using them for a couple of months now just to get the hang of it Grin

Kristinax · 22/07/2021 20:04

@Hopefull1981 Congratulations, that'll definitely keep you busy! I'm actually in the same boat, just bought our first house last week, so just got to fill it with a little ones now! Is the market absolutely savage where you are as well?
Yeah that's definitely an early symptom, especially if you don't get that usually? It's mission impossible to not symptom spot, I feel your pain! Yeah FX this will be a lucky thread :)

Kristinax · 22/07/2021 20:07

@MrsJ6921 I did the same! Haha I'm so impatient, I said to my SO that when we start trying I'm going all out and doing everything by the book! Do think it's worth figuring out your cycle etc to make the trying as easy as possible Grin

Bancha · 22/07/2021 20:50

@Kristinax I haven’t even got any tests- thought it would help me not to get too intense if I didn’t buy any! But as I ovulated so early I was wondering if my period would come earlier or if I have an even longer wait!

I’m symptom spotting like mad too. I have been feeling so queasy for a few days which I’m sure is all in my head, but then I convince myself maybe I am pregnant! I did get morning sickness really early last time, before it even crossed my mind that I could have been pregnant…

BritInNZ · 22/07/2021 20:55

@Lollymoo4 my chart on ff is all over the place! Nothing matches up with when I got EWCM and I spotted yesterday too. I'm baffled 😂

TWW
Lollymoo4 · 22/07/2021 21:45

@BritInNZ I see what you mean!! It almost looks like cd15 dip could have been ovulation dip after the ewcm? It that I’m proficient in these bloody charts!!! 🙄 but either way looks like you’ve certainly covered all options with bd!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻

Hopefull1981 · 22/07/2021 21:53

Oh the market is nuts. We sold ours in 2 days and just night this one. Husband is delighted, lots of man rooting to be done.

BritInNZ · 22/07/2021 21:54

@Lollymoo4 that's what I thought, but then I've been waiting for that temperature rise to come and it never has 😂 I am very confused! All we can do is keep going with the BDing... poor hubby hahaha

Lollymoo4 · 22/07/2021 22:06

@BritInNZ bless him 😁 the things those poor men have to deal with eh?!!! 😂😂

BritInNZ · 22/07/2021 22:26

@Lollymoo4 yep 😂 when I'm miserable when AF comes again, he's like 'don't worry we'll just try again' like the rollercoaster of emotions I have each month is nothing. He only has ONE JOB 😂

Hopefull1981 · 23/07/2021 08:37

Morning ladies. Jeepers my boobs are so tender this morning. I feel it walking down the stairs. I hope that’s a good sign. Any symptoms for ye yet?

Lollymoo4 · 23/07/2021 11:24

Morning @Hopefull1981!!! I’ve got my fingers crossed for you!!! Do you usually get sore boobs? I usually do from 1/2dpo all the way through to af but have had nothing this month til I woke up this morning!!!! 😳 I was pleased to put a bra on!!! 😂

Kristinax · 23/07/2021 11:56

Morning ladies!
@Hopefull1981 if it's not a symptom you usually get then that looks promising! Any other symptoms?
Nothing here, I always get sore boobs after ovulation until AF, and get nautious too so it makes it very difficult to symptom spot! Aha

heymacaroner · 23/07/2021 14:20

Has anyone else experienced nausea as a result of conception vitamins? I've been taking the seven seas pre-conception vitamins for a few weeks and I've noticed I feel generally mildly nauseous almost all the time now. I would love for it to be an early pregnancy symptom but sadly early tests say otherwise, so the only other change I've made would be the vitamins.

Just interested to know if this is something others have experienced and if other brands/just folic acid would be better?

Kristinax · 23/07/2021 21:50

@heymacaroner I'm taking seven seas as well, I don't think I've had any side effects from it, but then I get bad motion sickness etc and find myself feeling on and off nauseous all the time, so maybe that's contributed to it 🤷‍♀️ maybe your body just needs to adjust to the extra folic acid etc?

Lollymoo4 · 25/07/2021 11:07

Hi ladies!! How are we all getting on? Anyone given in and tested already?

Hopefull1981 · 25/07/2021 16:01

Hi @Lollymoo4 how are you? We are enjoying the last day of sun at my friends house this weekend so not tests to hand( trying to resist asking DH to go grab one). I think I am 6DPO? Got my solid smiley this time last week. Sore boobs are still there but not as noticeable as they were on Friday/Saturday. How about you? Have you tested?

Lollymoo4 · 25/07/2021 16:16

@Hopefull1981 sounds like a lovely way to spend the day!! When will you test do you think? So one app says 11dpo and ff says 9dpo for me 😬 I’m holding off til tomorrow - I want the house to myself as I have a 21 and 18yr old and my youngest is 22months and I just don’t fancy all the questions til I know!!! 😂😂
