Hi all. Currently in the TWW and if we conceive this cycle bubba will be arriving in October! Anyone want to join in symptom spotting and testing 😊?

Hey ladies, I'm in the tww at the moment. AF is due on Wednesday but I've been having little pink spotting when wiping (not everytime though) for 4 days. Had some brown cm yesterday and today as well. Not sure if this is implantation bleeding or AF coming. Had sore boobs, cramping and feeling nauseous since around ovulation date-ish. But at the time of trying we both had covid, so it could just be that mucking up my cycle. Anyways, its nice to have other people to chat with whilst I wait Smile

I know it's a silly thing to say but today I have felt so nauseous and headachey. It felt like morning sickness (I'll never forget how ill I felt). I doubt it's got anything to do with pregnancy as I'm only 3dpo (I think)!

@Tandabear Hi! I think I was reluctant to test because I don't actually think I O'd when I thought I had, which would mean we didn't DTD at the right time, which would then lead to another BFN.

I've attached my OPKs again, we assumed the 9th was O day and DTD plenty around that time. However on previous cycles I've had a peak on the CB at CD23, CD24 and then CD17. So god only knows.

I caved and did one anyway and it was BFN. I've been feeling absolutely dreadful ever since and just feeling like it'll never happen for us. Usually I have a 32 day cycle.

@Sunrise321 So happy for you and your extended LP! I'll keep all my fingers crossed that you don't see AF! 🙂

AF is technically due Thursday but as I said above, I've completely lost the plot with dates etc this cycle. I give up!

I am a poas addict.
And now that I can never pinpoint ovulation because of many peaks and BF it is even worse. But somehow this cycle I havent yet done it... also because my inlaws are visiting and I removed all my cheapies from the toilets 😄

Anyone wants to be strong with me and test on Friday earliest?????????

Bridgey8 · 24/01/2022 07:09

Hi guys - mind if you join? I'm currently 14dpo and on honeymoon... last night I started to bleed so thought AF had arrived a couple of days early so thought what the hell and had a few cocktails.... noticed this morn that bleeding was really really light and not like a period so took a test and got a positive.... what the hell? Has anyone had similar bleeding?

happydays89 · 24/01/2022 07:17

Morning.

Fingers crossed I'm not too late to join!
I am 1 day DPO. Cycle 1. TTC no#2. My little girl is 21 months.

TWW starts here for me!!

Happy Monday all!

4days do & getting on and off cramps. Waaaay too early for implantation cramps but just wondering if anyone else gets these so early on in luteral phase? It's been happening since we started ttc , wasn't aware of it before :/

@Tandabear feel ok... bleeding seems to have stopped. Just a few pinching pains in my tummy now. How about you? I had a MMC last November and I don't have the sore boobs I had then... but maybe it's too early?!

Paddingtonbear1980 · 24/01/2022 08:04

@tandabear ive tested again this morning and still a bfn. I think I am out this month but I'm okay with that given we had covid at the time of ovulation. Started keto today after seeing a post about "it starts with the egg" to lose some weight and get a little healthier.

Miracle22 · 24/01/2022 08:34

Congratulations for the positive and faint positive tests ladies @Tania5 @Tandabear @PoopMaster @Bridgey8

I am CD6 today and started doing OPKs. I am a bit reluctant trying this month considering I just had a chemical pregnancy, but let’s see. If things work out this month my due date would be sometime around 22nd October.

Miracle22 · 24/01/2022 08:47

Quick question girls
Are you all eating anything extra/different during your TWW?
I have read a lot about pineapple core (from 1-5 dpo), pomegranate, brazil nuts and walnuts, and eggs. Thinking of giving these things a try this tww.

Hi all, hope I can join you! I'm in the joyful TWW and currently 10 DPO. It's so hard not to take a test but at the same time I automatically wake up and let the dog out then go to the bathroom downstairs, my tests are upstairs so that helps 😂

Gemills11 · 24/01/2022 10:32

I'm at 12 DPO and with a VVVVVFL on a FRER which I can't bring myself to get excited about yet. Waiting a couple more days to do a digital, won't believe it until I get the digital BFP. I've had very minimal symptoms, cramping, slightly sore boobs just on the edges and light headedness. For the past two days I've had the tiniest amount of brown spotting and AF would be due in the next 2-3 days dependant on which app you go by. The tww is hell on earth!!!

HellsBellsK · 24/01/2022 11:25

Think my period is back again.. I have no idea what's going on. Starting and stopping spotting for the last week. But have cramps today so I guess I am definitely out this time.
Have more ovulation sticks arriving today and they have pregnancy test included so might just do one.

I stopped breast feeding 2 weeks ago also so that might be why everything is all over the place.

So Im CD1 again!
If I do get pregnant after this cycle due date would be the 31st October but would have baby on the 17th or 24th October (section).

Congratulations to the new BFP such great news!

Charl881 · 24/01/2022 13:15

8dpo and BFN for me this morning. I know it’s too early to test but I’m addicted 🙈 Will probably test every day now until Friday when AF is due.

I don’t think I have any symptoms… I’ve been quite angry / irritable and my coffee tasted a bit funny the last two mornings but I think that’s just because I’m isolating with a toddler.

arianasky · 24/01/2022 13:17

Hello all, hope I'm ok to join? I'm ovulating today so 1DPO tomorrow, really hoping this is my cycle 🙏🏻 I'm TTC#1 had a MMC at 12 weeks in October and a CP last month. Have everything crossed for this cycle

Mariabombia · 24/01/2022 16:18

@Tandabear that's promising then! How're you feeling now? Big congratulations btw🥳 !! Can't remember if I've said if already but you must be thrilled 🎉🎉

MadamMaltesers · 24/01/2022 17:39

Hi lovely ladies,

I'd like to join pls Smile currently on day of ovulation I believe so should be 1dpo tmw. Had a miscarriage at 8 weeks in November and a d&c. Just worried that the d&c did some damage. Looking to test around 5th Feb when il be roughly 11dpo. Dr suggested going on progesterone if I do get bfp because the last my was my third. Any one have any experience with progesterone and recurrent miscarriages??

MadamMaltesers · 24/01/2022 17:41

@arianasky sorry hear about your mcs. Were you on progesterone or aspirin at all?
