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

@Greymalkin12 hello hellooo course! When is AF due lovely?

@TheCakeIsALie18 Gooood morning you!! I'm alright thank you! Still got insomnia, was up at 4 today, feel a bit sick when I first wake up and having some cramping! also weirdly can't look at my boobs without feeling sick 😂 I took a test again this morning and my test line is now darker than the control line, 15dpo / 5 weeks today so hoping I get a proper dye stealer soon!!

Wohooo I'm glad your tests are getting darker! i would have thought so yes lovely, I've seen with a lot of chemicals the line doesn't really progress so yours sounds really good 💕 how are you feeling, any symptoms? Xxx

@TheCakeIsALie18 aww thank you for the welcome. AF due on Tuesday I think. Congrats on the BFP and all the best for getting through the early days. I am hoping to be pregnant for the sixth time (I have one child) but this is the first cycle I've done SMEP, used the ovulation sticks, gone for more expensive supplements etc basically whatever I could think of so am very invested in this cycle! I think I may have implanted quite late so as you say any BFP might be quite late. Good luck to everyone and best of luck to those waiting for the next cycle xxx

@xttcbabyno1x lol I'm sure your boobs look fine 😅 that made me chuckle sorry haha. I'm alright. I get a blast of nausea about 15 minutes after waking up, before I get out of bed lol just as I start to feel hungry and the underside of my boobs has started hurting. Right where they join my rib cage. A tad uncomfortable! I'm sorry you're still struggling with insomnia. I'm having a similar problem at the moment. I saw 2am, 3am, 4am, and 5am last night haha. Then slept till 6.50 😅

Eeek I'm glad your line is super dark now. Mine is definitely darker today on FRER. I reckon mine will be the same as the control line in 3 or 4 days maybe? Probably by the time I'm 5 weeks funnily enough haha.

@Greymalkin12 thank you. I'm trying really hard to think positively! oh I'm sorry for your losses ❤️ I've got everything crossed for you and hopefully AF won't rear her ugly head and you get the BFP you deserve 🥰🤞🏻 are you going to test regularly on the run up at AF and have you felt any what could be implantation cramps? xxx

@TheCakeIsALie18 my boyfriend says they look fine, but the actual nipple is bigger and makes me gag 😂 !

My nausea is when I'm hungry too! It's like feed me I'm hungry, seems like a common problem! You having any cramps? That's amazing news !! Roll on a week tomorrow for my 6 week scan, once I've been to that hopefully I will calm a little!

So glad your lines are darkening ❤️☺️ xxx

@xttcbabyno1x 🤣🤣 he would say they look fine as they're getting bigger haha. I don't have much in the way of boobs so I'm looking forward to a little growth haha.

I'm going to wait until I get to 5 weeks, as long as tests are still looking good then I'll book an early scan and get my first MW appointment booked. May wait until I'm 6 weeks before I book with the MW though. I'm so nervous it's all just going to end xxx

@TheCakeIsALie18 that's true 😂oooh exciting! I know it's scary I'm scared too but I'm trying to be positive as I think that helps xxx

@xttcbabyno1x yeah I'm trying to stay positive. Trying to pull up any positive tidbits I can haha. Like darkening lines for example lol. It's nice to hopefully have someone to go on this journey with ❤️❤️ xxx

Thanks so much ladies 😘 I've been feeling super crampy today which is making me nervous. I can't remember feeling like this last time so don't really know what's normal. No bleeding which is the main thing but still very unsettling. Fingers crossed.

@Maxime34 are you doing normal tests as well as digital? So you can see if the line is progressing? I hope everything will be fine for you. Try and stay positive ❤️ xx

@Maxime34 hey lovely I've been crampy too, I follow the "Babies due April 2023" thread and they even have a Facebook page. Pretty much every lady has said they have cramps and that's it's totally normal and can be a good sign (as long as not with blood) as it means the baby is probably burrowed in! I was panicking too but seems like 8/10 women get them! ❤️

@TheCakeIsALie18 I've just started taking them. Took one this morning and feel like the line should be much darker for 14dpo feel like I need to prepare myself for the worst. Line on cheapies also doesn't seem to be any darker this morning.

@Maxime34 take them for a few days so you get a proper comparison. I really hope it isn't a chemical for you. Maybe call your doctor and ask for a blood test??? Xxx

@xttcbabyno1x how you doing this morning my lovely? Any symptoms to mention? My line today matches the control line ❤️❤️ and the smell of the cupboard that the toothbrushes are kept in turns my stomach 🤣🤣 xx

@TheCakeIsALie18 oh my gosh yay!!! thats such a good sign!! Here's mine today, hoping for a dye stealer soon! Xx

There's certain things that are turning my stomach too, but I don't feel properly like I need to be sick, I feel hungover sick if that makes sense ! How are you doing other than that? Xx

@xttcbabyno1x here is mine for today...

Omg they look sooo good!!! I should have my dye stealer I'm 2 days I reckon. Yeah I know what you mean. It's more of a queasy feeling, almost like motion sickness? Rather than actually feeling like I'm going to be sick. Other than that, I'm fine really, sides of boobs are starting to get sore, all good here.

How did you excuse go on the weekend? I didn't end up having to use one luckily lol no one even noticed that I wasn't drinking haha. Xxx

@TheCakeIsALie18 that looks fabulous !! Eek how exciting! im hoping for my dye stealer too!! The test line is darker so how long until a dye stealer ? Haha

Yesss I'm the same with the nausea, heartburn is a big one! No boob pain at all yet, but some cramps on and off! First scan is a week today xx

It was fine, everyone believed me ☺️ thank goodness hahaha xxx

@xttcbabyno1x oh yeah heartburn. That happened last night. I don't keep antacids in the house as neither of us suffer with it 🤣 guess I better pick some up.

Oooh exciting! I can't wait to see your scan pictures! I'm going register with the MW on Wednesday which puts me at 5w and I'm going to book an early scan for 7 weeks ❤️

Haha I'm glad they believed you. Oh how little they know 👀😅 xxx

How is everyone else doing today too? Any tests being done? Those of you heading towards O I'm wishing you lots of luck ❤️

@TheCakeIsALie18 I don't either so my chest has been on fire!! Hahaha

Oh amazing !! My midwife called yesterday took some weight info and then I need to call and book in for the 7th so that's exciting ☺️ oooh amazing so so exciting! How far along are you now? I'm 5 weeks + 1 xx

@xttcbabyno1x oooh exciting!

I'm 4+5 today. I may come and join you on the April babies group as well ❤️ I'm still feeling a little nervous, but after today's test I'm feeling more positive than nervous haha xxx

Not even the faintest line at 14dpo, I'd better prepare for AF although not all over yet. Good luck @Maxime34 with your line. @xttcbabyno1x and @TheCakeIsALie18 it is lovely to see yours going so well.

@TheCakeIsALie18 dooo it and you can join the Facebook group too then ☺️ yeah you should be feeling more positive your test looks great!! Thing is you can't be anxious 24/7 as will make you feel so so down! Xx

@Greymalkin12 thanks ❤️ when is AF due for you? You're not out until it arrives!

@xttcbabyno1x yeah I know haha. But anxiety is a pain in the arse 😅 yeah I will come and join you on there now xxx

@TheCakeIsALie18 honestly I feel the same I struggle really badly with it but I'm trying really hard to pull myself out of it, I've put it down on my midwife form too so hopefully she can help x x

@xttcbabyno1x aww that's good. I'm usually pretty good and coming out of it. It's just the over thinking that stalls me haha xxx
