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

@pugsB having a scan to show is a really nice way of telling family. We left a scan photo on his mums worktop by the kettle while they were out one day. So they came home to a surprise and then phoned us haha.
You'll find the right way for you. I've got everything crossed it all goes smoothly! Xxx

Thank you @TheCakeIsALie18 💜💜

Ahh just seen the news - congratulations @pugsB !! I had the same kind of attitude - just knowing something has stuck is a great feeling, even though you can't help but worry or wonder how long it will last. And that's so good that you know!

I told my parents within a couple of weeks (after I'd continued testing on cheapies just to make sure all was still going on) and they were the only ones who knew for a while. And have slowly filtered the message out to the people I want to know since then, but we probably won't tell the world until we've had our 20 week scan. It's just personal to each couple and you'll know what's right for you.

We've just had our 16/17 week midwife appointment and heard the heartbeat for the first time ❤

@Hannargh awww I loved hearing the heartbeat. We heard it at our private 16 week scan. Was amazing. Even treated ourselves to a cute blue bunny that has it inside ❤️❤️

We've officially got proper kicks going on here now. I finally feel pregnant! Little man is super active day and night. I hope your pregnancy is going nice and smoothly ❤️❤️ xxx

I'm joining as this thread seems nice and active and can't get enough of TTC threads 🤣

I'm CD16, around 3 DPO according to my clue app, but I don't track ovulation so no idea really!! Cycle 3 for me, first cycle ended as a CP, and took cycle 2 off to recover and also had stomach bug so wasn't in the right place! I'm due my period Christmas Eve!

@Hannargh thanks dear 😊. So happy that you got to hear the heartbeat! Must have been wonderful ❤️. Right now we are thinking of waiting till week 6 to tell family if we get there. Lets see how that goes. Did you get what they call a "dye-stealer" in the early days?

@DearieMeWhatsUp Welcome! I am sorry about your early loss but glad to know you are back to it! Fingers crossed for you! Hope you get the Christmas present you want Xx

@pugsB I've attached my dye stealer for you. I didn't get it until 21dpo though and not everyone gets them. So don't worry if your don't!

@DearieMeWhatsUp welcome! Yep I'm super glad this thread is still active. I never expected to meet so many lovely people when I started the thread in July! I'm sorry about your CP, I had one too. Glad you're feeling better and getting back to it now. Fingers crossed for this month for you!!!

I am going to set up a 2nd thread as we are getting close to the message limit in here. I will let you know when it's up and what it's called. Will be good for all of you to join me over there too ❤️❤️ xxx

Ok new thread is now open. Join us over there.

TWW Starting 31.07.22 - Company Needed Thread 2

@DearieMeWhatsUp yep, that's it ❤️ xxx

Thanks for the pic @TheCakeIsALie18 Looks amazing 🤩. I have been scouring the internet for these lately! I swear google is going to destroy my sanity.

@pugsB If I could give you one bit of advice lol... avoid Google as best you can 🤣 I ended up searching symptoms of miscarriage and what to expect... when I had the miscarriage it was only at 5 weeks so there was nothing to see. But the search lead me down a horrible rabbit hole of miscarriage images. Please don't do that to yourself ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@TheCakeIsALie18 I am afraid the ship has sailed. I have already seared my brain with those 😫 but that was a month back. This time I am firmly staying clear! Just focussing on line progression for now--using cheapies everyday and the expensive ones every other day!

@pugsB oh no, I'm sorry to had to see all that ❤️ yeah I enjoyed watching the line progression. I stopped testing at 30dpo lol. It took me another couple of weeks though to stop actively looking for blood 😢 xxx

@TheCakeIsALie18 ya I plan on going to atleast 6 weeks with my testing or till the poppy seed survives which ever is shortest🤞🏼. I am so glad this time around its been a positive experience for you and all is progressing well ❤️❤️
