Hi all I am currently 1DPO.
Anyone else entering their TWW? Smile
or if you're further along in your cycle how many DPO are you and do you have any symptoms?
My period is due 20th of August.
Xx

@SLT90 congratulations!!!!

Ahhhh I'm
Not going to lie I've just got to wait til Monday n then fingers crossed is better part of the BFP crew. Our shopping comes on Monday n I've ordered a test. It will be then 16DPO and CD31. My cycles alternate between 29 and 31 days. This moth should be a 29 day so AF should have arrived today, but no show just yet

SisterA · 21/08/2021 18:39

Wow @SLT90 congratulations!!!! I don't think I've seen so many positives on one thread! Wow wow wow!

@SLT90

Definitely a lucky group! 🥰🥰🥰
Congratulations!! SmileThanks
SLT90 · 21/08/2021 20:39

Thanks all 😊😊

@andpeggy1 fingers crossed for you! I ended up caving at 1 day late because I figured my cycles lately have been all over the place and some have been over 40 days so I was never going to be able to wait until my maximum recent cycle length to test!!

@Teaandcrumpets95 I'm so delighted with my BFP but have also had some mixed emotions this evening when putting my little son to bed - just wondering if being pregnant will eventually get in the way of me holding him and rocking him, and I know it means our bf journey will be ending very soon! But mainly we are so excited and feeling lucky to conceive cycle #1 🥳🥳 Really hoping this little one sticks, 12 weeks feels far away for now!!
Symptoms - it's already different than my first pregnancy in that I'm already feeling constant mild nausea, bloating, tired, bit constipated (TMI!) and that didn't start until 6 weeks last time. I've been feeling a little more rubbish each day! No sore boobs this time either 🤷‍♀️

RAP08 · 21/08/2021 21:24

It’s my first proper month of TTC. I’ve started using the ovulation strips and should be due to ovulate in about 4 days. My partner and I have already DTD three times in the last five days and will hopefully keep up the momentum! Anyone have any tips on vitamins etc? I’ve started taking folic acid already.

Definitely a lucky group! 🥰🥰🥰
Yay!!! Congratulations!!!! 😭😭😭🌷 absolutely amazing! How you feeling!? Xxx

@HopefulMaama

Hi Ladies! Really thought I was out this month with zero symptoms and a negative early test on Thursday. However, this morning (10dpo) I woke up with very painful boobs (very unusual for me) so got a whole bunch of tests and they all came out positive- totally shocked!! Very happy and excited but will have to wait for next week to make sure AF doesn’t arrive before getting my hopes up too much...
Congratulations!! 🌷🌷 amazing news!

Hope your feeling okay! Xxxx

Spicyjalapeno · 22/08/2021 00:36

Congrats @HopefulMaama and @SLT90! Amazing! Hoping I can test next Friday and join with the lucky bfp group! Amazing to see so many in one group

XxBlueBoxX · 22/08/2021 07:39

@SLT90 congratulations 🥳

Tested this morning at 12DPO and BFN for me. AF due Tuesday so I'll just wait for that now and keep hold of some hope it doesn't arrive but I'm accepting it will now 😒.

I guess someone has to keep the balance with all these BFP's going around. Im genuinely happy for you all, it's uplifting to see so many.

Laurie95 · 22/08/2021 08:50

@SLT90 massive congratulations on your BFP !!

Laurie95 · 22/08/2021 09:00

Also @HopefulMaama congratulations to you aswell !!

Hope yous are all keeping well that’s me just catching up on everyone’s comments. How are yous feeling I’m still struggling with sleeping hopefully get a good nights sleep soon! Also boobs and head are sore apart from that feeling good.

Also little update on my bloods they have more than doubled in 48hrs such Good news ! they want me in on Friday for a scan just to make sure baby is in right place so excited for my 1st ultrasound!
We had already booked a private scan just for peace of mind before the hospital wanted to scan me so means I’ve got a scan next week and the following week aswell.

SisterA · 22/08/2021 09:23

I did a test this morning but it was negative :( it was an early test though so will wait to see if AF comes on Friday but regardless I am so so genuinely happy to be witness to SO many positives so far :)

RAP08 · 22/08/2021 09:47

@louise1997 I'm due to ovulate in about three days so not far out from you! Fingers crossed!x

SLT90 · 22/08/2021 10:37

Thanks ladies!

@SisterA still plenty of time for a BFP!! 🤞🤞🤞

HopefulMaama · 22/08/2021 12:13

@SisterA still a good few days for you to get a BFP! Holding thumbs for you xxx

Thanks so much everyone, can’t quite believe it myself still. My boobs have literally doubled in size since yesterday and are soooo painful. Didn’t have this with my first 2 pregnancies. Also having constant headaches. 11dpo today. Said to hubby this is going to be a loooong 9 months with these symptoms already in full force 🤣

Going for bloods tomorrow to confirm.

Good luck to everyone still waiting for their BFP this month and congratulations to everyone who already got theirs!
To those that didn’t this month, sending lots of luck and baby dust for next month xxx

Hello

Bit late to the party but first first cycle TTC, I'm 2DPO.
The wait is already killing me.

wannabeamummysobad · 22/08/2021 19:46

@HopefulMaama just to say when I read your boobs had doubled in size I kept thinking maybe being pregnant will help me move from a small b to at least a full b! 🤣. I'm 5 weeks tomorrow and so far nothing

RAP08 · 22/08/2021 22:20

@Emily199034 I'm due to ovulate in 25th according g to apps. But using the ovulation sticks. Not looking forward to the waiting!x

HopefulMaama · 23/08/2021 08:11

@wannabeamummysobad haha it’s possible!! I’m also a tiny B, if not an A!
Very surprising first symptom for me this time - they still bigger now, wondering if this will last the whole pregnancy Lol...

Wanted to ask you guys if any of you drank alcohol during TWW? I hardly drink at all usually but had 2-3 drinks most evenings leading up to my positive at 10dpo (was convinced I was not pregnant this cycle) and now I’m super upset and super worried!!!!
Anyone else also drink before their BFP and was everything ok?

wannabeamummysobad · 23/08/2021 08:51

@HopefulMaama I drank loads the entire way through my TWW (DH birthday, post wedding catch up with the girls, enjoying my weekend etc). There is no placenta so alcohol can't pass on to the baby before week 4/5 so I wouldn't worry. Just enjoy being pregnant.

I echo the sentiment about basically being an A cup. Do wonder if I'll get bigger boobs. Do maternity bras even come in a B cup? 🤔

andpeggy1 · 23/08/2021 09:29

Well the shopping came this morning with a pregnancy test for me to finally test. But the. Guess who else shows up 2 days late. Af! Still look the test anyways as it's light bleeding but nope BFN 😭. Like I was trying to think nah it hasn't worked just so I didn't get my hopes up. But the past 2 days I've been thinking omg maybe this has worked!!! I feel like we put in so much effort aswell! I'm so so dissapointed

August Cycle Buddies??
