Hi everyone! Anyone else around 1dpo? Or even if not, thought we could keep each other company during the TWW! A bit about me: I'm 28, been with my partner for 12 years and it's our first month properly TTC although I've been tracking my cycle for around a year now. My cycle is usually between 29-34 days, 12 day luteal phase normally. We've been fairly loose a couple of times in the last year so I've got to know the obsessive TWW feeling pretty well.. hoping we can all keep each other sane!! 🤣

@Radrose We are in sync! 🥰 We only dtd the night of my peak. I have read that doing it every other day is just as good as every day so I wouldn't worry too much if you don't squeeze it in! X

I’m 6dpo and had some right weird stomach cramps today!

Radrose · 13/10/2021 18:11

@CatLady93 - Woot to cycle buddies! My OH has his stag party the weekend after next, and then I'm away for the week when he gets back, so I'll probably test on Monday 25th, as its the only day we'll be together until 2 days after AF is due 😂

CatLady93 · 13/10/2021 18:13

@Radrose Haha you busy bees! Hopefully you'll be nice and distracted to make the TWW easier! 🥰 I'll probably test around 25th/26th too as my luteal phase is only usually 12 days so AF due on 26th! Eeeeeeek. Fingers so tightly crossed for us all x

@CatLady93 - I have a weirdly optimistic feeling about this month, and he keeps saying he does too, so fingers and toes crossed! Found out on Monday that my wedding dress won't be here in time for my wedding in December, so had to pick out a new off the rack dress, and they only had one that was a good size and a half too big for me, which means that if I do get pregnant this month and have a bit of a bump, there'll be space to accommodate it! Was a bit worried about that 😂

Hey all!
Been quiet on this thread sorry!
I’m 15dpo today, expecting af at any moment, thought was meant to be today but no signs yet.
Took a CB 6 day early test this morning and it was negative but maybe they’re not as good as FRER. Currently got a snotty nose, bit headachy on and off as well.

andpeggy1 · 15/10/2021 11:22

How are we all gettin on ladies? So I'm currently 6DPO and I'm a little worried. Usually as soon as ovulation happens for me my boobs swell and are really sore all the way up to my period. This time round there's no swelling or pain at all! Very very strange! Has this or somthing similar where a pms symptom that can also be an early sign of pregnancy just not happen one month? Also I've been having loads of cramping yesterday and today. I'm really confused!

beckybabyx · 15/10/2021 11:42

@SammiStap a lot of people say that a raging cold is a big sign of pregnancy! keep us updated xx

CatLady93 · 15/10/2021 13:20

Hi guys!! 3dpo today 😊 No symptoms in particular yet although I did have a hilarious dream last night where a cinema full of people evacuated because it suddenly filled with ants!! But like, bizarre looking mutant ants. Vivid and hilarious. Normal progesterone or a symptom who knows, but it was funny!! 🤣

CatLady93 · 15/10/2021 13:23

@andpeggy1 I wouldn't worry 🥰 I've had months where I've cramped all the way through the TWW, felt nauseous etc and it's been nothing, and then months where I've had no symptoms at all and it's also been nothing 🙄 Our bodies love to play with us and the best thing to do is try and just distract yourself, keep active and eating foods you enjoy, just keep yourself feeling good 😊 What you're experiencing could absolutely be symptoms of pregnancy, but also they might not, it's just so hard to know. Torture really isn't it!!

andpeggy1 · 15/10/2021 13:26

@CatLady93 yea like I'm feeling pretty chill about everything atm and I'm not worried as such more just really confused! But yea you're right our bodies are just rogue and do what they want. I'll just see what happens in a weeks time

CatLady93 · 15/10/2021 13:28

@andpeggy1 Aw that's good!! It's so confusing isn't it. Keeping my fingers so tightly crossed for you 🥰

SammiStap · 15/10/2021 14:29

Hi all. I’m officially 2 days late today and still currently no show for Aunt Flo 🤣
Feeling a little better but still stuffy nose and some pressure down below on and off and darkened nipples 😳 with little bumps around them too. Will be testing this weekend .

andpeggy1 · 16/10/2021 10:38

@SammiStap omg how have you not already ran out to the shops for a test! Fingers crossed for you when you do! Hoping your testing this morning x

beckybabyx · 16/10/2021 16:52

Get testing @SammiStap !!! X

SammiStap · 16/10/2021 17:23

So I’ve peed on 3 different sticks and they all say negative…I’m 4 days late today…will do FRER in the morning and if negative I’m giving up 🤣

Radrose · 16/10/2021 19:21

@SammiStap - That's a complete pain in the bum!! Hopefully the frer will give you a didn't result!

4dpo now and doing my best to not start symptom spotting, given that there can't even be any symptoms at this point! Longest week of my year so far though 😂

Radrose · 20/10/2021 13:52

8dpo today and have had some weird cramping yesterday and generally just feeling a little bit strange, so decided to start a POAS obsession today. Not sure if this is complete line eyes or vvvvvvvfl. I'll test again on Friday either way and see

How is everyone else getting on?

TWW buddies :)
Firsttimetrier · 20/10/2021 15:50

@Radrose I’m 7/8DPO and absolutely dying to test! I’ve also had some cramping, mood swings, odd watery CM, but I’m trying to tell myself these are all normal in the lead up to AF.

I’m going to test on Friday, so hoping I get some very faint line 🤞🏽

CatLady93 · 20/10/2021 20:14

@Radrose I can see a faint line there 😊 Keep us posted when you test again! 🙏🏼

I'm 8dpo today. This cycle definitely feels different, whether it means anything we'll obviously have to wait and see. But I don't have my normal pms symptoms eg sore nipples. Most nights I've had a couple of interesting dreams that I've remembered the next day, and I've had twinges etc. Going to wait until Monday to see what happens 🙏🏼

hey ladies! sorry for the radio silence - I've been unable to log in to my account for weeks!! Honestly Sad
how is everyone doing? Has October been kind to us all so far? Have my fingers crossed for those of you currently in the TWW!! lots of baby dust.

We had to pop our trying on pause for this month, as I'm needing a scan on my kidney, which they can't do if you're at risk of being pregnant...so my other half, being much more reasonable, said we'd avoid trying this month so I can have my scan, then get back to it! So I'm now officially CD1, scan is Friday, so cannot wait to get back to it once af leaves!! Roll on lucky November!

@Radrose - not sure if I can see something or if it's line-eyes, but try again in a couple of days :) fingers crossed for you!!x

Radrose · 21/10/2021 15:07

So I couldn't help myself, and decided to do a clearblue that I had here... This was within 90 seconds so I think it's def a faint line and not an indent or evap. This is 9dpo

Still feeling nauseous on and off, very tired and some mild cramps. Fingers crossed!

And himself just arrived home with another Frer, I'm taking this as a BFP

@CatLady93 - Thank you so much, I actually can't believe it. I'm being very very cautiously optimistic! Will have to see how it works out now!
