TWW buddies :)

[CatLady93]

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!! 🤣

@CatLady93 I did think so but trying not to get hopes up! I’ve got a few stomach cramps too so hopefully it isn’t AF arriving very early! Surely it wouldn’t start this early when I’ve confirmed ovulation with the clearblue tests? Xx

@CatLady93 not sure if this makes you feel any better but I've had EWCM yesterday with some mild spotting (which I generally get just after ovulation) definitely ovulated on Monday night though.

I think my body was just a bit delayed on that bit

@Radrose Strange isn't it! I had loads of EWCM around ovulation like normal, then straight to creamy/sticky (nice). And now just a random bit of EWCM 2 days before AF is due. Must remain calm 🤣

@CatLady93 bloody wombs etc, nothing but a mystery most of the time! My OH was popping my expected ovulation dates into his calendar for the next couple of months (to avoid being too hungover to DTD 🙄) and he couldn't understand why I was trying to tell him that they might change, that nothing is definite 😂

@beckybabyx
From what I’ve read the average day for implantation bleeding is 9 DPO but it can be different for everyone. I’ve also read that only about 20% of people get implantation bleeding so it’s really hard to know what a bit of spotting means.

It’s so difficult isn’t it @Crimmy - I’m going to try and stop looking/thinking into it too much now else I’m gonna drive myself crazy haha! Xxx

Hi everyone,

Also 7dpo here. Not holding up much hope this month as OPK went straight from low to peak which is v weird and only got to DTD on the second peak day but still a slim chance I guess 🤞🏻🤞🏻.

I think I'm going to test on Saturday 9dpo as it's my birthday 🎈 and would be a great way to start the day if I got a BFP. If not at least I can enjoy a couple of cocktails 🍹 with less guilt lol.

With previous pregnancies I've always had really sore boobs by this stage but haven't had that so far. I have had dull period pain for a couple of days and that is all 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Keeping my fingers crossed for a thread full of BFPs 🍀

Hi all, please can I join. I’m looking for someone to talk to. DH doesn’t seem to get it.
I’m 12dpo today although didn’t test for ovulation only used a calculator. Im a serial tester and can’t help myself but have been BFN each day and then today I’ve started bleeding. Im hoping it’s nothing as I’m getting cramps, mood swings, hot flushes and slightly sore boobs. (Just not sure it’s all in my head) could I still get my BFP???

What is your cycle usually like @Kirstylou86 xx

Usually about 28days I’m due AF in a couple of days. I’ve been on the coil for 3 years still faint periods. This is first month trying so I know I shouldn’t get my hopes up. X

@CatLady93 I'm ok although did do a test today which was a BPN but I know it was slightly too early. After the disappointment today, I don't want to fall into the testing everyday so I've put the remaining tests out of sight until the weekend

Morning guys 😊 Big bbt drop for me this morning and a little one yesterday so I suspect AF will greet me right on time today or tomorrow. Little bit disappointed as I'd love to be one of those 'it happened first time!' people but alas. Onto next month 😊

Sorry to hear you are disappointed! I also think AF will be visiting me later this month as my cervix feels very low - sorry TMI!

I would have loved for it to happen first time but onto the next month with more awareness of my cycle and what needs to be done.

Good morning everyone, how are we all doing?

@CatLady93 and @Firsttimetrier - I'm sorry to hear AF is coming but can I just say I'm loving your attitude!!! Way to go!

This is cycle 2 for me TTC #1, and I too was under the impression it would happen right away. Hahaha. I was young and naïve.
AF for me is Fri next week, so I'll wait and see - I don't feel any symptoms one way or the other and I'm actively trying not to obsess and just be chill. Good luck to everyone, I hope we see lots of BFPs in the next week over here!!

@Firsttimetrier Me too.. so magical if it happens first time! Ah well 😊 I think I might also take a break from charting and tracking my cycle as it just takes over the entire month otherwise! Peeing in pots, taking my temperature etc, all to confirm that things are just happening entirely normally 😅 So I think we might try a month of relaxing and just seeing what happens. See where that gets us!

We’re going to do the same! Just see how it goes in the next three cycles and if we don’t have any luck by January, we will step up our game a bit more and take it more seriously.

I think the relaxed approach will also stop me getting ahead of myself and enjoy the process more!

Although I say that being more relaxed will keep me more chilled.. I can’t stop wondering why my left ovary has ached for the last three days!

Hey everyone! Sorry I’ve been so quiet on here had a bit of a mental health dip the last couple days which hasn’t been great. I’m still on track to test tomorrow as I will be 10/11DPO and AF due Monday.

Only strange thing I’ve had is very vivid dreams when I don’t usually dream at all! However this could just be as I’ve been stressed and more down than usual. It’s so nice to have people to chat on here that are going through the same thing ❤️

Hope everyone is doing okay!

@Firsttimetrier I think we're going to do exactly the same 🥰 Just relax and try and enjoy ourselves. I think the TWW will always be a challenge but that's just a fact of TTC! If we can get the baby dancing bit more relaxed then I'll be pleased 🤣

Totally with you re symptoms though. I had some really weird ones this cycle. Loads of fatigue, weird discharge, pulling and twinging and all sorts. ALAS.

Hey @JesssG! So sorry you haven't been feeling great 😞 Wishing you so much luck this cycle, some good news would be just what you need I'm guessing!

Hey 😊 I'm going alright, exhausted! About 10/11dpo I think. I tested yesterday and today and had really really faint lines so we will see how it goes. Praying for BFPs for all of us!
@JesssG omg the dreams! Me too. The most vivid dreams, it's insane!

@Ckhw ahhh faint lines sounds positive! Congrats lovely! I’m really excited to test tomorrow but also trying to stay more relaxed too! And yes, the dreams have been insane!

I’ve been having the dreams too! Hopefully it’s a sign xx

@Ckhw
That sounds really promising! Hopefully the faint lines will become darker in the next day or two!

Sorry to hear the signs of af on her way - but here’s to a lucky September/October cycle for us all!
