Hi, I'm 0dpo, cycle#1, TTC#2.
I'm about to start the hideous TWW and wondering if anyone else is currently in it too and wants to band together for moral support?Star

@Sunshine0987 welcome! Nice little group we've got going now! Yeah, tiredness is killing me. Considering I work 6 days a week and train 6 days a week being tired is not at all helpful haha xx

@natasia22 OMG congrats!!

How is everyone else doing?

I'm getting more cramps today, I have also noticed increased discharge which I don't usually get when AF is due, so I'm hoping it's a positive sign.

Waiting until Friday to test, fingers crossed xx

MarmaRell78 · 13/07/2022 11:20

@natasia22 congratulations!!! That's really wonderful darling!

natasia22 · 13/07/2022 11:38

Thanks everyone ☺️
Hope you all get BFPs too!

@TheCakeIsALie18 thank u! Yes probably will keep testing everyday to make sure the line is getting darker 🙏🏻 The line this morning though was very clear (darker than the pic shows), I def wouldn’t call it faint, so hopefully will continue well

My only signs have been bit of cramping from 6dpo, my temp has been rising and my hubby noticed last night that my nipples seem to have grown 😅

TheCakeIsALie18 · 13/07/2022 12:15

@natasia22 you can always count on hubby to notice boob changes 🤣🤣🤣

I'm starting to get antsy now. Tests due to arrive in post today. Need to resist the urge till Friday. Maybe with the amount of naps I seem to need I could probably sleep the next couple days away lol

PAJJ · 13/07/2022 12:35

@natasia22 congratulations!!! That’s amazing!

I stocked up on FRERs. I had the peak last Monday, so ideally need to hold out on testing, but think I will tomorrow. It’s my daughter’s 2nd birthday Sunday and we have friends round so I’d like to know because if it’s another disappointment I’m definitely having a drink!!

The last 3 cycles I’ve convinced myself it’ll be a BFP because I’ve had cramps, nausea and tiredness and nothing but BFN…. This cycle not a single symptom so I’ve turned THAT into a symptom “well if I had symptoms and nothing…
maybe this is a sign?”

acjohnson · 13/07/2022 13:05

Hi everyone!

This is my first time posting.

I am 7DPO and DTD a day before my fertile days were estimated to be. So I am not convinced that I will get a BFP this cycle but if AF doesn't show up in 8 days then my app says I should test ( I use Flo).

I didn't really pay attention to OVU days until I started to join forums for those TTC.

I feel like next cycle will be a better place to start but these past two days I have had sore boobs, headaches, twinges slight cramps and exhaustion.

If AF doesn't show I will be doing a test on 23.7.22.

If anyone would like to be my TTC journey and beyond friend, I would be more than happy to have you! 🤗

Take care,
AJ x

LauraA31 · 13/07/2022 13:07

Good afternoon all,

I would like to join this too is that’s okay!
Im 3DPO, cycle 2, TTC baby number 1..

Im struggling already and have the longest way to go!! X

acjohnson · 13/07/2022 13:30

@LauraA31 I too am trying for baby #1, we have wanted to start trying for so long and finally feel we are in a position to do so.

Fingers crossed for you 🌟🌟

LauraA31 · 13/07/2022 13:33

@acjohnson fingers crossed for you too!! 🤞🏻

AF is due for me on 24/07, im going to try and hold out for as long as possible but last month I tested so early!

It’s nice to have somebody close to me in days and days of testing! X

TheCakeIsALie18 · 13/07/2022 13:48

@LauraA31 @acjohnson welcome ladies! We will keep you company while you wait.

I, myself, am on 10dpo today and have tests arriving from amazon today haha. They were on sale for prime day 🤣 I'll be testing on Friday and AF is due 16th-17th

I had a CP which passed on the 15th June so am hoping the extra fertility that is supposed to come following a CP will be on my side haha. This month I had cramping 7dpo-9dpo, fatigue from 7-8dpo, I had a major dizzy spell on Monday night and yesterday I had a bit of constipation and (sorry for the next tmi) white/off white snot CM which I've never had before....so yeah... I'm keeping my fingers crossed and am quietly positive...scared I'll be disappointed though.

Glad to have you both along on the journey xx

TheCakeIsALie18 · 13/07/2022 13:49

Forgot to say we are TTC #1 as well xx

LauraA31 · 13/07/2022 13:59

@TheCakeIsALie18 thank you so much for the warm welcome!

I have found it difficult and lonely not having anybody to speak to about the whole TTC time! I don’t want to tell family and get them excited to potentially wait a long time. Boyfriend is trying his hardest to understand my feelings bless him!

Its nice to have a place where everybody is also waiting!
First cycle i didn’t ovulation test, I went on the app and it didn’t work. This time I have used clearblue ovulation tests and easy@home tests, i got my peak clearblue on Saturday and easy@home on the same date.

I keep telling myself 3DPO is far too early to be experiencing anything so trying to stop myself symptom watching 😂

Keeping my fingers crossed for you! X

acjohnson · 13/07/2022 14:23

Thank you so much for your lovely message @TheCakeIsALie18!

I have found it so hard having no one to talk to about TTC, too @LauraA31. My best friend is going through fertility struggles with her partner atm so I am nervous/apprehensive about telling her we are TTC...

I'm quite new to these abbreviations, what does CP mean? @TheCakeIsALie18 I hope that it brings extra fertility to you, too!

I've been getting dizzy spells and tiredness too but keep putting it down to the heat, I hope it isn't that!

Fingers are firmly crossed for you!😁💛

acjohnson · 13/07/2022 14:25

@LauraA31 how exciting that our dates are so similar! I will be sure to check in on you lol!

This will be my first month testing if AF doesn't come!

take care,

AJ x

TheCakeIsALie18 · 13/07/2022 14:27

@LauraA31 aww bless him. Glad he is trying to be understanding. It is hard for them they don't necessarily have the worry of timing, and testing etc. They just have to worry about you.

Aye, 3dpo is a tad early haha. If you have to symptom watch (I do) keep your mind busy until 6/7dpo when you may or may not start to feel anything.

It's a nice little group here. I'm on a few TTC groups but they're all a tad big and hard to keep up with. This is a nice size. Always here if you need a chat 🥰

Got my fingers crossed for you too xx

TheCakeIsALie18 · 13/07/2022 14:35

Urgh... tests have arrived.... now to wait and not test. I think I will end up caving tomorrow 🤦🏼‍♀️

Starting the TWW (mon 4th) anyone currently in the TWW or about to start theirs?
Sunshine0987 · 13/07/2022 14:41

Omg @natasia22 huge congratulations!! I have very similar symptoms to you so I'm taking this as a positive sign 😊

@TheCakeIsALie18 are you me?? My Prime Day tests arrived this morning 😅 Holding out now until Saturday morning because I'm going to a wedding and will feel a lot better about not drinking if there's even a teeny tiny faint line haha

TheCakeIsALie18 · 13/07/2022 14:44

@Sunshine0987 lol yeah, I didn't expect to see prime day deal and pg tests 😅👌🏻

I'm super thirsty today so have been drinking constantly so urine will be quite diluted. I'll be able to hold off today...but tomorrow....... that will be a little more difficult. I will try. I wanted to test on Friday.

Sunshine0987 · 13/07/2022 15:00

@TheCakeIsALie18 you can do it! Not long until Friday now. Just keep super busy tomorrow (if you can stay awake that is 😉)

TheCakeIsALie18 · 13/07/2022 15:03

@Sunshine0987 haha I will try! If I cave, you guys will be the first to know the result lol xx

LauraA31 · 13/07/2022 15:10

@acjohnson I will make sure to check in on you too! Fingers crossed it’s the month for us all, but if not it’s nice we have people to get through the next one! X

@TheCakeIsALie18 i am also on a couple of TTC threads, not posted on many because of how many people are in there. You are right with how difficult it is to keep up with all the people and posts!

Luckily this month I am working all the way through to 9DPO, so by the time I have any time at home I will be nearer to my test day 😅 x

TheCakeIsALie18 · 13/07/2022 15:13

@LauraA31 haha well that's good! Less time for you mind to take control lol.

We are all in the same boat. Its good to have a little support system xx

Itiswhatitis2021 · 13/07/2022 22:26

Hi there, I am! I'm 1 dpo. Dtd the 2 days leading up to and the day of O.

TheCakeIsALie18 · 13/07/2022 22:32

Welcome @Itiswhatitis2021 ❤️ we've got everything crossed for you that the TWW for you will fly by xx
