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

@Hannargh only my chemical in June to go on for me. But I know my body pretty well so that's something lol. Only wondering about this weird snotty nose haha xx

+1! I can't stop sneezing! Covid negative and generally don't suffer from hayfever so very strange!

@TheCakeIsALie18 I'd also like to say I'm not too serious this cycle like who on earth is lucky enough to do it the first time! I just not surw how I'll feel when I do the test and if AF comes I keep saying in my head I have until march to get upset but hormones are a bitch!

@Hannargh its honestly so hard I had a mmc a bout a year ago I was on the pill so not expecting it but was tired and feeling sick after eating it was my mum who convinved me to test but I have no idea how far I was and was not looking out for any symptoms 4/5 might be a bit early for implantation

Sorry to hear about your mmc @Nypie and your chemical @TheCakeIsALie18 - I hope they weren't too difficult for you.

Oh yes, it's definitely too early for me to be feeling anything and I don't know if I even would by the time AF is due. I think part of the reason I avoid testing early is so that, if I did end up getting a positive but then it faded away, then I wouldn't need to know. But it would also be reassuring to know that I can get pregnant. Just have to stay patient 🙏

Hope it’s ok to join too! I’m a bit behind the rest of you I think, ovulated yesterday (I think)and period due 18th Aug. Couldn’t see another thread for slightly later

@jollydollyirl omg I'm sorry glad I'm not the only one! It's driving me insane. I don't get hay-fever very often... maybe once every 3 or 4 years lol... I don't feel ill, covid negative, no cough... just a tickly itchy nose with sneezing and it goes from stuffy to runny in a heartbeat lol.

@Nypie you say that I had my chemical first cycle that we were "trying" never say never 🤞🏻❤️

@Hannargh thank you lovely. It wasn't too difficult thankfully. We are quite rational logical people and we told ourselves that a) it means we can conceive b) it's super common c) fertility is higher following a CP or MC and d) now we get to do the fun bit of trying again haha. Aye just stay patient. I'm sure you'll be fine. It feels like an eternity waiting but you're strong ❤️

@MumofAlf hey!! Welcome!! Of course you can join us. I made this thread because all the other ones I'm on have gone dead because most of the women have had their BFPs and I guess they aren't too fussed about keeping in touch lol. Sounds like I'm being a bitch haha but I'd love to follow people's stories through. Not just complain about the TWW and then when I get a BFP disappear and leave everyone else to fens for themselves... I hope that comes across as intended lol ❤️ xxx

Think that’s a really good idea! Nice to see the journey through, whether that be pregnancy or still ttc! I’ll stick around whatever the outcome

How's everyone doing today? 7dpo tomorrow! not feeling like testing yet which is unlike me x

@xttcbabyno1x samessss 7dpo tomorrow squad 💪🏻 I don't feel like testing yet earlier. Stay strong girlie. Let's see if we can both make it to the 13th haha xx

@TheCakeIsALie18 yessssss haha that's such a long time 🙈😅 are you feeling anything ? Xx

@xttcbabyno1x haha I was saying earlier that I've got weird hay-fever type symptoms and this evening I've had some light cramping but I'm not reading into that too much. The itchy nose is getting to me at the moment lol xx

@Hannargh aw thank you mine was a bitch as me and dp wanted different things but now we're both ready :). Hope you're able to hold off I think next cycle I'll try and wait it out.

Tbh it is true that testing early can mean you get a line that fades but that can also happen if you test after a missed period or at your first scan and beyond unfortunately

I'm in a right mood now not due to pregnancy but losing my bloody themometer 😂😂😂 maybe its a sign! My dog chewed my first and now dps refusing my completely rational request of buying me a £40 bluetooth one 😂😂

@MumofAlf 👋👋👋 tell us about your life...are you trying for your second what cycle are you on?

@TheCakeIsALie18 you won't be getting rid of me that easily!!

@xttcbabyno1x well done for staying strong! 8dpo sat but also dont feel like testing weirdly

Is this quickly turning into a thread of no-testers? I like it! I see a lot of women on here psyching each other into testing (but obv if anyone feels like testing early, go for it, let us know - I want to see! 😁)

Love your logic @TheCakeIsALie18 - it sounds like a very sensible and reassuring approach to take.

And @Nypie that's very true. And actually quite reassuring that testing early isn't bad - sadly there's always a risk.
And how dare your DP not realise how reasonable your request is. I'm off to see some friends this weekend and am preparing to wake them all up with early morning beeping when I take my temp 🙃 😅

@Hannargh haha thanks. Yeah we try to put a positive spin on it even though I spent a couple days crying lol.

Aww my thermometer beeps too haha. Every morning at 6.30 I wake up...beep beep beep beep... go back to sleep 🤣👌🏻 I was tempted to get a fertility one but my standard digital one from tesco works perfectly fine. It works in tenths that's all I need haha.

I hope you've all had a good week. I'm so ready for the weekend now! Xx

@Nypie yesss TTC baby no 2 and this is cycle 2. Last cycle I ovulated later than I thought and we didn’t DTD enough. This cycle I know when I ovulated but not sure we DTD enough either. Causing some contention with my DH as he can’t be bothered some nights when I suggest it. That’s a story for another day perhaps 🤣!

7dpo today. How are all you beauties feeling? Xx

@Hannargh honestly he has no prioritises 😂😂😂. I swear I put that thermometer in half-asleep and the beeping wakes me up!

@MumofAlf sorry dp is not peforming his services when needed you can borrow my dp he's very keen!
But tbh It only takes one 🤞🤞

@TheCakeIsALie18 8dpo some strange symptoms but maybe period might show early! Testing tomorrow at 9dpo if I remeber so I can start to prepare myself for period. Howre you...still sneezing??

@Nypie yep still sneezing and sniffing and rubbing my nose because it's so itchy. It's driving me insane! So bloated today too and had some twinges but still not looking too much into that.

Oooooh what weird symptoms you getting? I was thinking about starting to test too... but don't want the disappointment lol xx

@Nypie you lucky thing! I have to practically beg mine 🤣 If this cycle is a no go I’m guna have to sit him down and tell him to buck up if he wants it to happen!
@TheCakeIsALie18 How many DPO are you now? If it helps, I actually preferred waiting till period due day and then doing the test, I duno why! Kinda felt like that I would defo have my answer and was always exciting to see if it was positive. Probs haven’t explained that very well!

@MumofAlf I'm 7dpo today so it's too early to test either way. I'm not feeling the urge to test but after reading about the possibility of this sneezing and sniffling being a sign I kinda want to know haha. I've checked Flo and it says AF due on the 13th but that would put my cycle at 2 days longer than I've ever had. So I'm more likely due 11th or 12th instead xx

@TheCakeIsALie18 yea so tempting! Especially with this unusual symptom. Sending all the positive vibes for when you do test- let’s hope the sneezing is worth it!

@TheCakeIsALie18 sounds good though 🤞🤞🤞 so hopeful for you!
Still some twinges and flutters going on in the tum, feeling sick, boobs still sore, cm still very present but weirdly my pup has been laying on my tum all day she is a bit of a snuggler but I've never seen or draped around my stomach or choose me over dp its quite sweet even if its not symptom I hope it continues!

@MumofAlf honestly becareful what you wish for 😂😂 though I be annoyed If we were trying and he was skipping days! Though one night he was so tired that I had to wake him up a few times!

@MumofAlf sneezing better be bloody worth it 🤣

@Nypie thank you. I'll keep you all posted if I do end up testing lol xx

Girls!! I've woken up with a metallic taste this morning! Went to the bathroom mirror to check if maybe I had bitten my cheek while I was sleeping or something, expecting to see blood... but nope no blood.

I'm genuinely not symptom spotting this month but this is so bizarre! I might start testing from today on the run up to AF....

What do you all think? I don't want to get my hopes up Xx

@TheCakeIsALie18 ooh that's exciting. Have you been temping too? Would love to see your tests if you do decide to. But it's still early ish isn't it? Are you 8 or 9 DPO now?
