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

@xttcbabyno1x thanks, I keep going back to them during the day and sitting there checking trying to decide if its darker or not. I've got another 8 tests I think so this time next week and I won't be able to put myself through this torment anymore haha. Yep roll on Christmas. Our first anniversary is 22nd December so we will be staying at the hotel we got married in which will be nice. Won't be toooooo big at the point hopefully haha xxx

@TheCakeIsALie18 ohh I bet it was!! ❤️

Oh my gosh that's ammmazzzing wohoo congrats! Looks like mine, I think you would have 3+ on your digital too!! So weird how it changes in a day, right? Said 2-3 yesterday!! Xx

TheCakeIsALie18 · 20/08/2022 06:41

@xttcbabyno1x eeek I'm feeling a rollercoaster of emotions this morning after that! I will still hold off for a few days to do the digital I think. Will wait till I'm 6 weeks just in case, as it's my last one. It should be my last day of testing too in total, I think my cheapies will run out then too.

Have you told anyone yet? Xxx

OP posts:
xttcbabyno1x · 20/08/2022 07:16

@TheCakeIsALie18 makes sense as I think you're a few days behind? I'm 5+5 today xx

My mum and dad
My partners mum and brother

That's it ☺️ how about you? Xxx

TheCakeIsALie18 · 20/08/2022 09:16

@xttcbabyno1x yeah I'm 2 days behind you at 5+3

I've told my best friend because she insisted on having a toilet photo of a positive test lol. Other than that, no one. We are telling my mum and partner tonight as they're coming over for dinner. We will tell his family after the early scan in a couple weeks and then we are going to visit my dad for a weekend after my first MW appointment and will take the scan pics with us xxx

@TheCakeIsALie18 and @xttcbabyno1x congrats on your super positive tests! Must feel nice to see!
@eleveneleven11 my period came yesterday, so my app says ovulating around the 2nd of Sept. I started taking bbt today so will keep doing that each morning and start Opks end of aug. How you doing?

TheCakeIsALie18 · 20/08/2022 12:36

@Shleepymummy thanks yeah, it's nice. Still testing and keeping fingers crossed for now though! I'm glad AF has finally started your next cycle ❤️ I've got good feelings for you. How is your OH feeling now AF has arrived? Xxx

eleveneleven11 · 20/08/2022 21:17

@Shleepymummy hey you! glad to hear you can get on with a fresh cycle. how are you? especially after your sick bug?
my ovulation is predicted around the 3rd sept! we're in sync :) i've sacked off bbt for this month but gonna get on the opks end of august too.
im still feeling a bit crappy, think im having a particularly hormonal period and struggling to pick myself up a bit. got a fun month coming up though so plenty of distractions x

Hannargh · 20/08/2022 23:33

Hi @eleveneleven11 and @Shleepymummy - I'm also due to ovulate around 2nd Sept if I'm on schedule again this time. Nice to have some people in the same tww again! I'm away for the first two weekends in September so hopefully this next tww will have less time to worry about it 😊

Hi again @Nypie ! Are you putting more prep into ttc this month then, or are you having a month out before ttc in another cycle?
Always interested to hear what people are doing/doing differently each month 😊

TheCakeIsALie18 · 21/08/2022 10:19

@xttcbabyno1x how are you today lovely. One more day and you're 6 weeks 😁😁😁

How is everyone else doing? Has AF now passed for those of you that it showed up for? Xxx

@TheCakeIsALie18 goood morning ☺️ I am okay thank you some symptoms really starting to show appearances now! Was at the supermarket just feeling like I could be sick, like a really bad hangover with the nausea! As well as my nipples feeling like they're being rubbed against sandpaper! But I am not complaining 💙💕 !!

Yesss 6 weeks tomorrow! ☺️ can't believe it's 2 weeks today I had a super faint line on an easy@home !! How are you doing today? Xx

Hope everyone else is doing well! So much baby dust ✨✨✨✨✨❤️

TheCakeIsALie18 · 21/08/2022 10:59

@xttcbabyno1x I'm alright thank you. Feeling alright today, tiny bit of nausea this morning but not much else. Except my nipples 😂 constantly hard and soooo itchy today! Really sore if I rub against them lol. I'm hoping I get more symptoms over the next few days, I think that will make me feel less anxious haha.

I know crazy to think 11 days ago today i had my first faint line!!! Xxx
