TWW starting 31.07.22 - Company Needed

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

Not feeling particularly bad or worried - either I'll get a positive later on or AF will eventually arrive!

AF finally made an appearance this afternoon - I don't mind as at least I'm back on schedule now. I've only been doing thorough tracking for the last 2 months and have some more complete and consistent data to look at.

Let us know how you get on @Maxime34 and good luck to everyone else testing in the next few days - are you testing soon @peonies1988 @Shefliesonherownwings ?

Ahhh Its positive! I can't believe it. I've had one MC and one chemical already this year so there's a lot of happiness and fear at the same time. I know it's early days so trying not to get my hopes up too much. Let's hope this one is meant to be ❤️

hey all :)

i have loved perusing this thread and following a few success stories! massive congratulations to anyone with a BFP and sending baby dust to anyone still in the game.

am i too late to join in? i'm 8/9 dpo with AF due on 18th aug. last cycle i drove myself insane symptom spotting and doing tests so this month i've been keeping super busy and staying strong. i even unwrapped a test this morning ready to go and then stopped myself and put it back in the box!

noticing dragging crampy feelings low down and slight back pain. i'm sleeping like a log and have just woke up from nap which is so unlike me however it's hard to know the cause in this heatwave!

the next 5 days are going to go soooooo slow

Sorry to hear AF arrived @Hannargh but glad you're feeling positive. I do think knowing your cycle is so important for getting timings right. Sending loads of luck for the next cycle x

Aww I’m sorry @Hannargh , i know it feels disappointing. As you say, more info about your cycle so next time I bet it’ll be a bfp!

congrats @Maxime34bet you’re thrilled. lots of baby dust for the future with the pregnancy.

Hi @eleveneleven11 ! I’m due on 18th Aug as well and also holding off on testing but it’s been hard! I looked at the test box today but closed the drawer and moved on! So tempting! Maybe we can keep each other strong and hold off for another few days?!

@Shleepymummy ahhh AF date buddies. well done for putting the test back today! proud of us! i think we've potentially saved ourselves a miserable saturday there.
yes, let's keep each other strong for the next few days - i need an angel on my shoulder telling me to step awaaaayyyyy from the tests 🤣

have you had anything you think could potentially be an early symptom? xx

@eleveneleven11 deal, I’m all for this! Let’s get to Tuesday if possible….then reassess lol?! I just don’t like seeing negative test, rather AF just comes.
Hmm no I don’t think so, thought I had sore boobs but it didn’t last long, I don’t remember any early symptoms with my first pregnancy though so I’m trying not to over think it.
Have you?

Ahh congratulations @Maxime34 that's brilliant news ans what a lovely end to your holiday! 🎊 🥳

Thanks @Shleepymummy - always another opportunity. And it will be nice to keep the thread going for anyone who doesn't get their bfp this time!

Hey @eleveneleven11 - stay strong! I know some people will get their bfp early but it will feel even better in a few days if you don't have any doubt about it! Keep us posted!

ok, tuesday it is! only a few more sleeps 🙌🏻

i don't think i have either really. i've had a lot of cramps and twinges however i have a sensitive tummy anyway so i often get aches and pains. i've been sleeping more and feeling low energy but this could definitely be down to the heat.

the fact that you had no symptoms with your last pregnancy is a comfort i guess as nothing to particularly look out for this time around! x

@TheCakeIsALie18 thank you for the warm welcome! 🥰

maybe tuesday next week. i'll wait longer if i can. i have FRERs on order but they aren't due to arrive until the same day my period is 🤣 so that's slightly torturous!

Please can I join the club? I'm at 13 dpo and still testing negative. Too mentally weak to hold off testing!

@eleveneleven11 ooooff! That's rough haha. Well at least with them not arriving till then you have to hold off testing haha. Makes the will power a little easier to keep lol.

@Greymalkin12 heyy! Welcome! Ita never too late to join. I love how active this group is even those that have their BFPs are still around! I've got my fingers crossed for you! When is AF due? You could still get a BFP as late as 17th dpo if you didn't implant until 12dpo. ❤️❤️🤞🏻🤞🏻

@xttcbabyno1x morning lovely. How are you doing today? You getting many symptoms? This mornings test came through in about 2 minutes and is much stronger today. I'm trying to be positive... because with my CP I started spotting at 5 weeks exactly so surely that meant the pregnancy stopped progressing from the 4 week mark? And the fact that my lines are still progressing is a good sign? What do you think? I'm trying to find any way I can to ease my mind xxx
