TWW starting 27 Aug - support group for those in the same boat

[TinyDancer91]

Anyone else here back in the TWW around this time? My TWW started 27th Aug and I'm in need of some company!

This is cycle #9 for us now so really hoping this is the one 🤞🏻

Hugs to you @Astar21

@Foreverhopeful92 thank you! Yes it definitely does, it’s a constant countdown!

@Astar21 thank you. It’s such a hard journey isn’t it. So sorry to hear about your journey too fingers crossed this month is the one. This is our 7th month of trying now I’m definitely over the TTC stage I wish my body would decide that too 😂.

So it looks like I maybe got my dates wrong…I’m not sure and please tell me to buggar off to another thread if you don’t want these here yet.

But I tested this morning because I just feel…off and thought I saw something, tested again this afternoon after a hold and got something more…

First photo is this morning, second from just now. What do we think?

Again sorry if you’d prefer I don’t post tests on here yet whilst you’re all being good and waiting! ✨

@JaneGnR88 I can see something on both of those! How many DPO do you think you are?

Hey @Thestoppedfan 👋 Well now i’m not sure, I thought I got my peak on Friday but I also had dark OPKs throughout (pcos) and a very dark
one on day 7, so I’m all over the place now!

It might be nothing, I don’t trust those tests!

@JaneGnR88 Think I see something on the second one but sorry I’m awful at seeing faint lines. Maybe try a FRER with FMU tomorrow? I think they’re the most sensitive ones?
If the day 7 one was your peak what dpo would you be now?
Fingers crossed for you!

Thanks @Foreverhopeful92 I’ve got a frer for the morning, I do think those easy at home ones could just be evaps/indents cos I have been burnt before. If I did get my peak on day 7 I’d be around 18DPO now so much too late for lines that light, as I have long cycles so normally ovulate late. I’m a bit all over the place tbh hence the testing!

We shall see!

How’re you doing?

@JaneGnR88 I'm not sure I see anything. But if it's v.faint the camera doesn't always pick it up. Fingers crossed for your FRER or if you can try and hold out another couple of days?! I know it's hard x

Morning all, how’s everyone doing?
I haven’t tested first thing as I forgot cos I’m so tired, been awake most of the night and dealing with this bloat this morning. I do tend to get bloating but this is another level. At least I can pretend I’m pregnant for a bit with this bump 😂

Hi everyone, woke up this morning with a UTI which has obviously got me a little worried that it might affect conception. Starting antibiotics (safe for pregnancy, just in case) this evening. On the plus side, 4DPO and no spotting which is better than last month!

Sorry to hear that @ireneadler101 hope you don’t feel too unwell with it!

How is everyone doing today?

@JaneGnR88 I hope the bloat isn't causing you too much discomfort! I bloat quite often and could pass for being pregnant 😂 sometimes hormones, sometimes ibs symptoms 🙄

@ireneadler101 oh UTIs are the worst. I'm sure it wouldn't affect conception and at least the antibiotics are safe just incase 😊

@JaneGnR88 any updates with tests today?

I caved this morning and did a test and there’s a faint line there. I don’t want to get my hopes up too much though in case it’s a dodgy test. I’m 7/8 dpo today so it’s still super early. I ordered a box of the easy at home ones with the hope of saving the FRER till Friday. TWW is torture!

@Thestoppedfan do you have a picture of your test? What kind was it?

I did 2 (haha) this morning and got these, I can see lines but I don’t know about these strips! 🤦‍♀️

Bloated carried on all yesterday and was horrible, better today but some cramps 😣

@Astar21
i feel this TWW is dragging! Haha but apart from that all okay here and no news! I know I’ll start symptom spotting soon so need to try and stop myself! You?

@Thestoppedfan fingers crossed for you! 7/8 dpo is definitely early! Do you have any symptoms?

@JaneGnR88 i have these tests! But I’ve never even had a suggestion of a line so I think if you can see a line that is promising!! Any chance you have a FRER?

@JaneGnR88 I used a boots one and an easy at home one- both have the faintest of faint lines it’s so faint it’s hard to photograph (maybe they aren’t even there and I have just gone line crazy!). I’ll try and attach a photo but I’m not convinced it will work! I can definitely see the lines on yours!

@Foreverhopeful92 I can’t help but think everything is a symptom or a sign! I am bloated and my stomach is crampy but that might be digestion related rather than baby related. My boobs feel a bit weird too, not sore just weird.

@ireneadler101 sorry to hear about your uti. I had one last month and it came on right over my fertile week! Hope it clears up soon!

@Thestoppedfan I can see faint lines on both of those! 🤞

Hi everyone, I hope it's okay if I can join you all on this journey

Currently trying for baby #1, had a pregnancy in December but ended up loosing the baby in March this year.
My and hubby have decided to try this month.
Officially entered my TWW. Hopefully something to look forward to mid September.

Baby dust to you allll 🥰✨✨

Hi all, I'm about 8DPO (according to app) this is my 10th cycle TTC, but 3rdcycle of really proactively trying if you know what I mean! I have a 2.5 year old, seemed alot easier the 1st time round 🤣

Hi all, came across this thread today and thought to join you all. This is our first month of trying and am 8DPO today. We had a stillbirth at 26 weeks in April but now feel physically and emotionally ready to give it another go. I was getting cramps to today and though to test even though so early and got a BFN on clear blue digital. Hoping not out of the woods just yet though. Best wishes to you all xx

Hi everyone,

I'm a little stressed out this week.
I had a pregnancy in December last year which sadly had to be terminated in March due to medical reasons.

My and hubby have started to try again.
I've been using CB OPKs, since my period varies each month, typically between 26-33 days

I got my peak (solid 😊) on CD19🎉.
Me and hubby DTD on CD18 (flashing 😊) and CD19 (solid 😊)
Do you all think I'm covered ? I'm stressing out to think it's not enough :(

Anyone think otherwise ?

@st18 if it helps, I only DTD once in the month I conceived with my first. Due to travelling and illness. So once is enough x

@ForeverMrsK So sorry to hear that, wishing you all the luck💖💖

Thank you @Nursemum33 baby dust to you too ❤️
