*The TWW States* 😬😂…. Here for positive vibes as we try to create new lives 👶🍼🤞… (Ttc #1 and cycle 1 continued)

Hello!

Continuation of our last thread…

All of us TTC and in different cycles and stages of our journey.

Helping eachother through the TWW, through the confusing days of OPK/BBT testing and charts, through all of the symptom spotting, the dreaded arrival of AF and the BFP announcements! 😊✨

January was a very lucky month for some who got their BFP and some of us are ready to make February our month!

With giggles and lots of support along the way.

Welcome!

@SMD16 that’s exciting! Well done on not testing yet!! February cucumbers 🥒

Saw these and thought of you all….also attached my chart for anyone interested in my luteal lady dips lol

@SMD16

Oh and as an update... the cramping continued through the night. Also after I ate my tea last night I felt sooo sicky which is strange for me so I didn't even have pudding 😂

YOU DIDN'T EVEN HAVE PUDDING !! SOMETHING IS WRONG!!

@lakejupiter thanks lake Jupiter! Love that 😂😂

@RMS0209 yep especially as I have the biggest sweet tooth of anyone I know!!!!

@SMD16 feeling hopeful for you this month x

@SMD16 fingers crossed ✨✨😬 so exciting hopefully no pud means that's good news 🤭

Thought I would be in 'high' stage by now but nope still low even according to my clearblue. Not too worried as I went from low to peak last cycle so will test again tomorrow. Do people use fmu when Opk testing? I find that I drink too much and it's too diluted if I don't 😑😑

@RMS0209 it better be the month as this is almost on par with my AF cramps, off to the bath I go for 300000 hours! Not looking forward to the drive to Bristol this aft now! How are you getting on, what goodies did you get on the food shop?

@lakejupiter thank you. Exciting for the temp rise, when do you think you will test?

@RMS0209 thank you, I didn't think I was ever going to see the static as had 9 days of flashing 🙄🙄

@SMD16 ooooo exciting! When do you think you will test? Any symptoms, have seen you have said you have cramps? I am due to ovulate tomorrow! Exciting.

Can you guys tell I've lost all concentration/motivation for work today? oopsie.. quick replies!

@Pops100 what CD day are you again? I went from 0 to a peak smiley so don't let it fool you. I use FMU with CB but then try to hold for the cheapies, although this month was a free for all so!! Did you do cheapie too?

@SMD16 haha love it - dont have a bath too hot.. ofcourse one of the random wife tales i've read online, least the drive will keep you busy and you can relax tonight.. get a yummy tea! and a pudding I certainly hope.

I'm fine today actually, OH just been offered a new job woo hoo - so celebrating with a take away for tea,so to find something semi healthyish to have.
Got some bits in the shops stocked up on some more fruit and greens and blueberries got some more nuts and some yoghurts, this healthy eating better be worth it I tell you! x

@MrsYan I am going to try and hold out until Tuesday (when FF predicts period is due) as I have therapy that afternoon so can process my feelings 😂 on Tuesday I'll be 14dpo. I have a pelvic ultrasound on Thursday so will need to test before then if AF isnt yet here - the place doing the ultrasound isn't insured for pregnancy ultrasounds so ask people to test the day before if there's any chance they could be pregnant.

However, I have an FRER test in my suitcase (I'm away until Sunday) so who knows how long I will resist. Really trying to refrain this month though as I found it absolutely distracting and frustrating and heartbreaking to see the BFNs last month (and hold them up in various lights, take photos, shine torches on them, get them out of the bin to see if anything had changed, generally lots of undignified TWW behaviour).

@MrsYan lots of cramping, felt sicky last night and not even thought about eating today yet! Hoping to hold out until Saturday at least and OH can do it with me then!

@RMS0209 funnily enough I thought of that as I started running it, I can't have it too hot anymore anyway luckily. Ah many congrats to your OH enjoy the celebrating! I don't have a clue how you are doing the healthy eating 😂 after the bath I'll probably just have a marmite and Gouda sandwich, my go to at the moment! I'm the same with work haha, I feel it's only fair with the drive later that I have a steady day 😂

@SMD16 I hope the traffic is good for you, I'm originally from Torquay so when we go back home I dread the bridge at Bristol as it's always soooo busy.

@RMS0209 I'm only CD10 so got ages , well if it's anything like last month I've got about 5 days till ovulation. Yeah that's what happened to me last cycle too! I was so shocked when I actually seen it like oooh hello where have you come from 🤣

I think I read I need to stop taking my EPO before ovulation though , need to look into that actually .

@Pops100 thanks I've never been so glad to have a heads up! What's EPO?

So a nice peaceful bath ✅
Being spied on ✅

Oh look at her 😍🥰

Catch up time… busy bees today again

@lakejupiter Loving the memes and fingers crossed for that dip and rise looking good! 🤞

@SMD16 Have a good feeling for you this month ✨

@RMS0209 congrats to OH on the new job! 👏

@MrsYan enjoy those smileys while you can after a while you may want to throw them at the wall 😂… good luck this cycle!

@Pops100 You need to stop before ovulation. Maybe stop at positive opk or just before it’s due to be safe. It can encourage your uterus to contract which can cause issues with implantation or cause mc so important one to remember x

@SMD16 EPO- evening primrose oil to help ewcm

@Pops100 she's so cute 🥰 love a good bath (and also get spied on by my fur babies 🐈‍⬛)

Ooh thank you! Still learning everyday, can't believe how many comments are on this thread now! Maybe we should just have a WhatsApp or Discord group lol

@Newbiemg how you feeling now? X

@SMD16 I had to google discord didn't know what it was oopsie

@Newbiemg okay thank you! Will stop once it gets high as that's something I was worried about , not stopping at the correct time and screwing myself over!

@SMD16 it's crazy isn't it! I'm not on any other threads , I did post in the odd one when I first joined but kinda didn't really get a response back and deffo weren't as friendly or chatty! I'd be up for a WhatsApp too x

FWIW I have carried on having baths @Pops100 - I can't really imagine my life without them! I do a lot of cold water swimming so warm up in a bath after. I just make sure it isn't as hot as I'd usually have it if I wasn't TTC.

@RMS0209 I only know of discord because of my brother being a gaming geek 😂😂

Phew here was me thinking I'm not cool any more not knowing words 😅😂
I'd be up for a WhatsApp too if we were to do one, we'd just have to find a way to give each other numbers without this thread I guess? Or if we posted numbers then asked Mumsnet to delete the comment after?

@lakejupiter not sure if you tagged wrong person but that wasn't my cute pupper🤍

I didn't know that about baths though and do like them occasionally so that's good to know x

I'd be up for a Whatsapp. I can set one up if you'd all like. You can send me a direct message with your numbers. No pressure for anyone to join though, it's less anonymous but also less public
