TWW and need someone to navigate these rough waters

[Miracle22]

I am 4 dpo and have no symptoms yet. Join in if you’re in tww too. Let’s give moral support to each other.

@Pheepa ahh okay! Good luck anyways! Yes I’ll be testing Saturday too but I will have probably caved and tested Thursday as well! 😂

@MO22 - the progesterone isn't a miracle cure for sure, I took it from ovulation and still miscarried #4 but I'll try anything! I have low AMH so basically egg numbers are dwindling and the remaining eggs will be more likely to be crappy. I hope you never need to decide whether or not to go private- just keeping hoping and believing that your next baby will be a sticky one! I cross my fingers and look for signs and rainbows all the time, it helps me feel my hopes are valid. What day will you test on? This is our fourth cycle trying again - and we couldn't try last month as we had Covid (such shitty timing) so I'm just happy to be in with a chance this month!

I caved. BFN at 9DPO. I know it's too early to mean anything but was hoping for a really really really faint line!

Morning everyone, where is everyone at re DPO?

I am 7 DPO and feeling some very minor cramps and a little bit queasy but still worrying that I'm making up the symptoms lol!

@NutsandPuffs thank you for the supportive words, just trying to put one foot in front of the other and see where I get to! I actually saw a rainbow on the train last week and took a picture of it, I felt a bit silly but also a bit comforted by it to be honest, so I can relate! I know what you mean re being happy just to be in with a chance, I don't think I ovulated post the MMC last month even tho I got positive ovulation test, so I think I'm just happy to be in a TWW this month with things back to normal (🤞🏼).
I'm huming and haaaing about testing. I am aiming for 13 DPO which would be the 15th, but I might cave at 12. Realistically I don't want to test until AF due on 16th unless I have clear symptoms - when I tested and got my BFP last time it was 13 DPO but I had symptoms. What are your thoughts on testing?

@Pheepa you're not out, don't be disheartened, still early days!

Good luck to everyone testing in the morning!

@MO22 I will try to hold out until 12 dpo and then use a FRER test. If it's a BFN I always tell myself it's still early and perhaps I ovulated late - like on the second day of my peak. I never know the exact day I ovulate and can't feel it happening like I know some folks can. I'm counting down the days and sometimes cave sooner. So I now keep the pregnancy tests in the garage so I can't spontaneously decide to test one morning (without some degree of hassle and cold being involved!) which really helps with my self control!

I'm so confused. Bit of pink CM when wiping so not sure if AF coming early or its implantation bleed. Thought I maybe had implantation pain on Monday so seems like a long time since then for bleeding? I'm 10 DPO I think so let's see what happens between now and tomorrow morning!

@NutsandPuffs I LOVE that you keep them in the garage, that is inspired. I don't have one but maybe I should hide them in the fridge or something! I think I'll test 12 or 13 DPO... I keep wildy swinging between which day. Do you think I should use an early response one? I got my BFP last year on a Tesco cheapy at 13 DPO but it was faint tbf.

@Pheepa have you had your period come early before? What's your luteal phase usually in length? It's the 13/14 days then it's pretty early for AF I would have thought?

@MO22 I don't actually know. I've been on the mini pill since my last pregnancy 9 years ago and pretty much on it all of my adult life as first pregnancy was unplanned whilst on it and 2nd we fell within 3 months. From what I can remember Myers cycles were fairly standard 28 days ish but I'm obviously much older now so could be different.
I came off the pill just before Christmas and AF arrived 19th Jan so that was prob 28days ish but not sure whether the first cycle off means that much?

@Pheepa i think it feels a bit early for AF personally but every body is different and I am definitely no doctor! Do you have any other symptoms? What's was your implantation pain like? I have had low level cramps for two days now so wondering if that could be implantation?

@MO22 I was generally a but crampy/windy from 4DPO but then 7/8 had some dull stabbing pain just to the right and just below belly button. Was like someone was pushing the end of a pencil against it, not really sharp but definitely in a certain place.
Then nothing yesterday 9DPO. Today I feel more windy again, a bit like when period is due and have had the pink CM

I had a weird pain that felt behind the belly button and down a bit! I actually googled a picture of a woman's organs lol to try and work out if it was anywhere near my uterus.

It's probably all silly as I won't test til Monday earliest, but 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 for you - you're two days ahead of me, do you think you'll test soon?

@MO22 I googled for the exact same pic! How funny!
I was going to test on sat but will see what comes of this CM!
Have also been for a LOT of number 2s today (sorry if TMI), not sure what that means either!

@Pheepa haha the TWW does make us all a bit insane doesn't it! Baby dust for sat, I've found bowel movements relatively normal this time but I've got a headache, nausea although cramps seem to have died down. I bet it's just covid or a virus ha, really has made me get my hopes up!

Hey guys!
I'm around 9dpo today although my periods are so irregular so I've started using the Glow App.
DTD 2 days before ovulation so fingers crossed 🤞🏼
7dpo I had some cramping and backache which lasted for a day.
Since then I've had a bit of a backache and one sore nipple (weird I know) 🤣
I'm currently CD32 and my longest cycle is 37 days so I don't want to get my hopes up 🙄
I'm going to test tomorrow morning with FMU and maybe there will be something!

It’s probably negative, but what do you guys think?

@Miracle22 it looks negative to me 😞 Try again in a couple of days and don't give up hope!!!

@Chascha18 let us know how you go this morning!

Woke up at 5am and have got cramps again and a bit queasy. This TWW has been the longest ever! How is everyone else?

Think AF has arrived this morning, CD24. Looks like I'm out this month. Good luck everyone

@MO22 I have used the cheapies before especially closer to when my period is due. From what I've read once your period is due or overdue then the cheapies are just as good as the stupidly expensive ones! I buy a non brand name FRER (a bit like a Boots own brand) for my earlier tests and then use the cheaper ones once period is overdue. I don't think there is really a right or wrong and there seems to be so much variation- sometimes women report a BFP at 8dpo and other times not for ages like 18dpo for example! I guess as well sometimes we are just mistaken about when we actually ovulated...

I just worked two 13 hour days so the time flew by! Then my mother in law arrives tomorrow for 2-3 days so that will help the time pass as well.

Baby dust to all those testing this weekend!
