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 I hope so. I'm using cheapies at the moment. I have a pack of FRER arriving tomorrow. I just hope these weird symptoms are a sign of my BFP 🤞🏻 I want to share some of your luck haha xx

xttcbabyno1x · 08/08/2022 18:37

@TheCakeIsALie18 don't worry about cramping I've had cramps back end of last week I thought AF was coming, you could be implanting!! I've told him haha, we were told two weeks ago his sperm morphology was low (2%) we paid for a test to be done! So I said to him "I think they might have gotten your results wrong" lol xxx

TheCakeIsALie18 · 08/08/2022 18:40

@xttcbabyno1x thanks. I thought AF might have been coming early but no sign of blood and I only usually cramp day 1 and 2 of AF... I'm still stuck with that feeling of I don't want to get my hopes up and I'm nervous etc... xx

@TheCakeIsALie18 that's the worst feeling isn't it !! Did you track ovulation this month? Xx z

Hi all,
I just found this thread and I'm also on 2ww (7dpo) with AF due next Sunday.

I've been TTC#1 since end of January, with an ectopic pregnancy which ended up in surgery and tube removed, less than 2 months ago.

Weirdly, I've also been having a runny nose for the last couple days 😅 and today got a bit o lower back pain.
I should know better now but did a cheap pregnancy test and as expected was negative! 😅

The wait is just insane!
Baby dust to all

Maxime34 · 08/08/2022 19:54

@dpr89 I'm also 7dpo and going to test on Sunday... This week is going to drag!

Congratulations @xttcbabyno1x so happy for you!

Good luck to everyone testing! Xx

xttcbabyno1x · 08/08/2022 19:54

@Maxime34 thank you so so much ❤️ ooh testing Sunday! Any symptoms or anything ? Xx

Maxime34 · 08/08/2022 20:16

@xttcbabyno1x feeling super bloated but I had zero symptoms pre taking a test with my DD so im convinced it's my holiday diet taking its toll!

xttcbabyno1x · 08/08/2022 20:17

@Maxime34 hahahah! I've been bloated too but no other symptoms apart from some shooting pains in my boobs on Saturday!! Fingers crossed for you xx

MumofAlf · 08/08/2022 20:31

@xttcbabyno1x congratulations! Must be so nice seeing it so clearly and knowing! Amazing news! xx
@TheCakeIsALie18 when are you going to take your FRER? Got everything crossed for you

xttcbabyno1x · 08/08/2022 20:32

@MumofAlf thank you so much I was at the gym at the time, crying in the gym toilet 😂 I'm incredibly grateful ❤️

Shefliesonherownwings · 08/08/2022 20:42

Thanks @TheCakeIsALie18 I’ve been feeling bloated the past couple of days but that could just be my imagination or all the bad food I’ve eaten lately lol.

Congratulations @xttcbabyno1x That test looks great!

TheCakeIsALie18 · 08/08/2022 20:48

@xttcbabyno1x thanks. I thought AF might have been coming early but no sign of blood and I only usually cramp day 1 and 2 of AF... I'm still stuck with that feeling of I don't want to get my hopes up and I'm nervous etc... xx

@xttcbabyno1x my last post has only just sent and now I'm playing catch up haha. Yeah, I track ovulation haha. I ovulated CD17 this month.

@dpr89 welcome! I'm sorry to hear about your ectopic. I hope you're all healed up now.

@MumofAlf I'm going to do a cheapie in the morning and then I will take an FRER when they arrive haha. Depending on results I will test again the following day with cheapie/FRER

I'm super nervous xxxx

dpr89 · 08/08/2022 21:26

@Maxime34 meanwhile I will probably test every day until Sunday because I have no willpower 🙄

Maxime34 · 08/08/2022 21:32

@dpr89 Im away with not tests with me otherwise I would definitely be tempted! It's quite nice not having them though as a bfn is such a horrible way to start the day 😥 keep us posted on your testing and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

TheCakeIsALie18 · 08/08/2022 22:13

Ok I'm going to ask you all a TMI question... you don't have to answer it but I am curious if any of you are willing to.

I check my CM 3 times daily. Finger in method as I don't often get much externally, in fact I never get that much internally except during EWCM time... ok anyway, so after O I usually have small amounts of creamy CM until about 4dpo and then nothing until AF. All was exactly as expected for the last few days until just now. Final check of the day and it's creamy again... not loads but it's there and I've still got that stretchy cramp feeling.

Soooo my question to you is, how in tune are you all with your CM and if you've been pg before did you notice a random change in CM? I don't expect to see a lot of pg CM if I do get my BFP this month because I never have a lot anyway... I would just like to hear if anyone else has experience....?

Thank youuu xxx

@TheCakeIsALie18 ooh me!! I've been checking mine monthly, mines usually thick and creamy in the days leading up to AF, this month - nothing !! Xx
