TWW starting 31.07.22 - Company Needed

[TheCakeIsALie18]

Hey all!

I'm on several other threads that I'm keeping up with but some of them are a tad long now, so I thought I'd start a new one for people to join.

Ovulation day for me today (30.07.22) so TWW starts officially tomorrow. AF due on the 12th. I have tests in the house, but my goal this month is to keep my mind busy and avoid symptom spotting! I don't plan on testing if I can help it. Want to avoid the disappointment if I can.

We are TTC #1 and we are in cycle 4 now. I had a chemical mid June when we weren't officially TTC but when it happened we realised now was the time to actively try. We wanted it so badly.

So that's a little about me and I would love some company in a slightly smaller thread.

Much love xoxox

@Shleepymummy lol no of course I don't have to take them. But they're in the cupboard looking lonely 🤣 I will only take them if normal tests are looking good in a week or so haha. Xx

Hi everyone. Thought I'd gatecrash. Currently cycle day 21 of usual 26 but first cycle after a MC so could be all over the place. No symptoms I had with previous pregnancies just a lingering migraine.
Congrats on the BFP's 🥳🥳

@Clairel77 Hey welcome to our little corner of the planet! I'm sorry to hear about your MC. I hope you're doing alright. Are you trying straight away or are you letting a period slip in between?

We tried immediately after my CP but didn't catch but AF came on the exact day expected which was crazy. My body adapted quicker than I did lol xx

Hi @Shefliesonherownwings we are on the exact same schedule, I’m 11 dpo today and due on Monday. I stupidly tested yday and the day before and got stark whites, I only did it because in my last pregnancy I tested positive really early so must’ve ovulated sooner than thought. I’ve done two Frers today and I’ve got some really squinters that have given me hope. I wouldn’t have thought anything of them but there’s definitely something after my huge bfns earlier in the week. Let us know when you’ve tested. Xxx

Bit gross but is there anything to look out for cervical discharge wise in the tww if you are pregnant?

@TheCakeIsALie18 Thank you, im plodding along, coping better than I thought tbh. Just praying I get a sticky bean.. mega congrats on the BFP 🥳🥳
@Shleepymummy everyone is different but I got more milky discharge when pregnant, one of my first signs, that and a cold. Good luck

@TheCakeIsALie18 ahh I see aw I'm so sorry 🥺 xx how are you feeling this evening ? X

@peonies1988 Ooooh fingers crossed send us pics when the test pics up on camera

@Shleepymummy some women get more creamy discharge. So for me I dry up after O and I only get lots of EWCM rest of the month not a lot. This month after I dried up the CM came back which was unusual

@Clairel77 OMG no wayyyyyy!!!! A cold?!?! I started sneezing and has itchy eyes and nose about 9 days ago and now it's worse 🤣 I thought I was going crazy when I was googling hay-fever as a pregnancy symptom lol.

@xttcbabyno1x aww that's ok. Yeah I'm fine this evening chomping at the bit to test aging tomorrow. It should be AF due day tomorrow (flo says 13th) so I'm just hoping that line sticks around!!!!! Xx

@TheCakeIsALie18 i got a cold about a week after ovulation, was googling 🙈 and its definitely a symptom for some. Was about 4 days after that I got the faintest line ever.
Does anyone check cervix position? Its new to me so can't really compare to what is normal for me but I'm sure mine has gone higher. Argghhh I can't help but symptom spot.. keep pinching my nipples to see if there tender 🙈🤣 crazy lady in the house 🙋‍♀️

@TheCakeIsALie18 morning lovely! How are you getting on? Period was due for us today!! Have you tested ? Xx

@xttcbabyno1x Heyyy! Yep AF due day and nothing. Temp still up CM still creamy and a darker line than yesterday on FRER. Cheapies still not showing on camera very well but they are looking good in person!

How are you? Have you tested again? Xx

I wish the camera would pick it up as we see it lol

Oh amazing!! Soooo happy for you!! Had it sunk in yet ?

Don't worry the cheapies still struggle with me !!

The test line is now the same as the control line and I got 2-3 on clear blue today. I've panicked and bought a 6 week early scan and a 9 week one! I worry so much lol xx

@xttcbabyno1x awww yay!!! Congrats!!! Those lines look fab. I must have another 3 days or so before my line matches the control line. I'm so worried that it just won't progress 😢 your test lines have got darker in 3 days than mine did in 3 days... I hope I'm not reading into that too much!!!

I can't blame you for booking early scans. Are you going private? I want to book early scans too. I just can't shake the feeling it's another CP xx

@TheCakeIsALie18 thank you! Noo don't read into it lovely I would say that you implanted a few days later than me that's all!! If you look online loads of people have similar tests as yours at that stage, I must've just implanted earlier xx

Definitely book yourself in for a scan so you can put your mind at rest!💕 xx

Hi all, very exciting @TheCakeIsALie18 and @xttcbabyno1x , sticky vibes for you both. I haven’t tested today as I’ve run out and my FRERs haven’t arrived yet. Will test tomorrow when I should be 13 DPO. How’s everyone else getting on? @peonies1988 have you tested today?

@Shefliesonherownwings yep, nothing :( yesterdays must’ve been indents? I know my body and I’d be testing positive by now if it had happened. Feeling v disheartened. X

@Shefliesonherownwings thank you fingers crossed for tomorrow let us know ✨✨🍀🍀🍀 xx

@peonies1988 hi lovely ☺️ any chance you could've implanted late or even ovulated later than you thought ? Lots of dust ✨✨💕💕

hey @xttcbabyno1x i suppose there’s a slightly possibility, I’m not due AF for another 3 days but I’ve always got my answer early with frer before. We’ll see, I’ll keep my fingers crossed. Baby dust to all of you ♥️💖✨

@xttcbabyno1x I know, I'm trying not to read into anything lol but you know what our brains are like haha. I will book in for a scan at 7 and 9 or 10 weeks most likely. Will have to do it privately though as I won't be able to get it through the doctors.

@Shefliesonherownwings ooh I look forward to seeing results tomorrow!

@peonies1988 you may have implanted late. How many DPO are you and have you had any cramping recently? I've got my fingers crossed for you xxx

@TheCakeIsALie18 yeah I'm the same to be honest!! Haha! I won't get it on NHS either I've booked one for 6 weeks and one for 9 weeks .. cost a fortune 😬 but for piece of mind so worth it xx

Thank you so much @TheCakeIsALie18 i just use the Flo app and DTD every other day during ovulation window so not 100% but I think 12. Yes I’ve had cramping, increased sense of smell, nausea, increased need to wee - must’ve been all in my head! Xxx

What are peoples' thoughts on cramping? As far as I can remember, I've never had cramping outside of some gentle cramping during AF. I know we hit the right time for ovulation last month and this month (as far as you can through OPKs and bbt) and I had really bad cramps between 7-9DPO that were genuinely uncomfortable. This month I had light cramping 8DPO and just some gentle twinging since. I don't have much else to work from but as someone who wouldn't normally have any cramps do you think that could be implantation trying to happen?
If no go this month I'm thinking I might test at 10DPO in future on a cheapie just to get an idea of whether anything has actually implanted but then doesn't stick so I've got a fuller picture of what's going on.

Still haven't tested yet. I made a conscious decision to not POAS this morning. AF due tomorrow 🤞 xx

@xttcbabyno1x yeah £80 per test, but worth it ❤️

@peonies1988 so I had "very noticeable" cramping for 3 days and got the faintest line 2 days later. So are you having cramps still? Because it could be a couple days still before a BFP. Fingers crossed for you

@Hannargh sooo obviously everyone's body is different. I don't get any PMS at all but what I do get is very definite cramps during AF. I also get cramps for 1 hour every month during ovulation (I can pinpoint the exact hour of the I ovulate) and I had 3 days where I had quite uncomfortable cramping at 7,8,9DPO which turned out to be implantation cramping. Because I don't suffer with other symptoms generally it made it quite obvious when I did have them. So if you felt them you may be lucky ❤️❤️ xx

Does everyone test with FMU, is that proven to be the best time? I usually have to go to the loo in the night, sometimes twice so by morning I don’t normally need to go straight away so by the time I POAS it’s normally mid morning. FRERs have arrived so will defo test tomorrow.
