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

[Newbiemg]

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!

Good morning guys!

No such things as TMI here @SMD16! That sounds so painful!!! Hopefully you get some relief soon

Yay! That could be your peak @Cookiedough123! Jump on it 🍆😉

Anyone have any exciting weekend plans?? In addition to a potential proposal @Pops100 💍

Congrats @Cookiedough123 on your peak lovely!!

@Pickles91 yes the boy did good!!

How is everyone xx

Omg many congrats @Pops100 🥰🥰🥰

@Pops100 congratulations to you!

@Pops100 congratulations!!

Yes just waiting for him to get home. I did do another test at 5pm although I was desperate for a wee and drinking loads of 7up so it was pretty diluted and it had dropped back down pretty low! Going to do another one tonight after holding it in and see what it says then

Yay!!! CONGRATULATIONS @Pops100! 🎉 love the pups in the background too

@Pops100 Congratulations! Great news 😊

@Pickles91 I’m supposed to be going out tomorrow for lunch and then drinking for a friends birthday but because I’m in the tww I don’t want to drink really so I’m not sure yet what my excuse will be lol

How about you?

Hi guys, I have just read through the read and you all seem lovely, do you mind if I join?

I'm currently on cycle 5, 8DPO. I said I wouldn't symptom spot as I do every month and obvs doesn't come to anything but having a few symptoms that are hard to ignore... cramps came on this afternoon and they are strong!

Good luck everyone xox

@MrsYan hello and welcome to the group

I hope this is your month! Good luck to you too 🤞✨

@MrsYan hello welcome

Oh congratulations @Pops100 that's amazing news and glad your sneak suspicion was right! 💍💍💍💍

@Pops100 fancy telling the rest of us who aren't engaged when we can expect our turn? Maybe it's your secret skill haha. Hope you've had a lovely night celebrating x

@Newbiemg I don’t think a couple of glasses will hurt, but obviously do what your comfy with! Antibiotics are always a good excuse!

Not much happening here. Maybe pop to the pub with some friends, but I have so much housework to do 😴

Hi @MrsYan! You’ve chosen a good group to join! Everyone’s so lovely and supportive. Hopefully these are good cramps 🤞🏼 Will you test or wait for AF?

Congrats @Pops100

Thank you for the welcomes @Newbiemg @RMS0209 🤍

@Pickles91i can tell! Everyone seems lovely. I have been struggling when CD1 comes along so hoping the support will help. I am very well behaved and I wait for AF... I think I have myself PTSD the first couple of months when I tested and it came back negative 😂😩 where are you in your cycle? x

Thank you everyone so much 🤍✨

Cramps this evening, whether it's anything baby related or too much bread and Camembert 🤣🤣.

Welcome @MrsYan xx

So it was definitely my peak yesterday. We dtd last night but couldn't do today - bit gutted but could prob do tomorrow in case ovulation is delayed slightly! My LH has gone right down so just glad at least we managed to do last night. I still have quite a bit of EWCM so might just go for tomorrow for good luck! So this is my first ever TWW 👀😱

Good morning all!

@MrsYan that is very well behaved indeed! We are absolutely here for support whenever you need it. I am 12dpo today and BFN, shortly followed by a bit of blood so expecting full flow AF today or tomorrow! Which is actually a good thing in a sense, because it pulls me back to 28 day cycles (my last two were a bit off).

Whoop @Cookiedough123! Ov can happen up to 48 hours after peak I think, so definitely hop on it tomorrow too! Hopefully Feb is your month ✨✨

Hello! I'm wondering if I might also be able to gatecrash your lovely thread? I'm in the TWW of my first cycle using OPKs and being a bit more strategic - so of course quietly driving myself bananas over here. I need some friends! (Aside from being desperate I promise I am well behaved).

I think I'm 3DPO, cycles tend to be 28 days, period is due on 9th Feb. I'm still using the easy@home OPKs just in case my peak wasn't actually my peak and I ovulate way later in my cycle, because that's what's going on in my head right now

Congratulations on the engagement @pops100 what a lovely photo!

Welcome @Bluets my fellow Maggie Nelson fan 💙 please join us! The TWW sucks doesn't it? I drove myself mad this time.

Congrats on your peak @Cookiedough123 and def keep testing just in case...

Sorry about AF @Pickles91 but does that mean you get to let your hair down at the wedding?

Not much to report here. CD6, AF has finally left. Not sure when to start OPKs but probably not until towards the end of the week. Inseminations planned for CD13, CD14 and CD 17 and I should get my peak between 15 and 18. Also trying to persuade coparent to go for a fertility test. I've also been poorly today - hot and sweaty and nauseous and so tired, not sure what's up but don't think I can blame hormones at this point in my cycle!

Hi all sorry I've been quiet, been a bit under the weather with and exhausted. Found a lump on my neck so that's under investigation, a different kind of TWW for an appointment! On a positive note my periods over so back to LH testing soon.

Hope everyone has had a good Saturday x

@SMD16 sorry to hear that news about neck, fingers crossed it's nothing.

Hope you manage to have relaxing weekend bar that x

We lost our power today with that storm... still none, been a long day! Also AF didn't take the hint to go when I asked her... still here, still very heavy too. Worried she isn't going soon. Normally long gone by now... maybe phone dr on Monday if she hasn't lightened any by then.
Hope everybody has a fab weekend (what's left of it!) x

@Bluets hey!! We are cycle twins, I'm also due 8/9th of Feb ☺️ I've been busy this weekend so have been distracted however I know next week I'm going to be so on edge 😂.

@SMD16 will keep my fingers crossed for you lovely, not sure if it makes you feel at ease but my oh had a lump in his neck around his collar bone a few months back, and he went for a nose camera to check it out and said it was just a swollen lymph node , they think it came up cos he had the flu a few weeks before.

@Bluets sorry forgot to add - thank you!!! Didn't take as long as I thought to keep them all still for a pic 🤣🥰

Yay thanks @lakejupiter It certainly does suck and I'm sure I mustn't be doing myself any favours stressing about it all. Might see if Headspace has any guided meditations for people TTC 😅 Hope you feel better soon!

@pops100 that's amazing we can keep each other company during this coming week. Hopefully you'll be busy receiving loads of congratulations from family and friends the distraction will continue!
