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 🤞🏻

Hi all hope it’s ok to join, I’m 8DPO today and going a bit nuts!!! I don’t know how but ive managed to hold off testing so far 💪

@ForeverMrsK I am so sorry for your loss. It’s def still early, keeping my fingers crossed for you xx

@ST18 So sorry for your loss xx you normally ovulate within 12-36 hours of the first peak so it looks like you hit O-1 and O-2, which covers the best days (or if you ovulated same day as peak, O and O-1 which are still VERY good)!! And like @Nursemum33 said, just hitting one of those days can be good enough!

Thank you @pipixiecircle and well done for holding off!! It's just so hard to resist sometimes isnt it. Keeping fingers crossed for everyone xx

Hi to all the new joiners ✨ sorry to everyone who has had losses, it's heartbreaking. Let's hope our little sticky rainbow beans will happen soon 🥰
Hope everyone is holding up okay?
The TWW is a drag! 7DPO here so half way through 🙌🏼 although I think I'm going to do a test at 10DPO.

@pixiecircle thank you so much, this is very very reassuring ☺️ been super stressed out recently to think it wasn't enough. But thank you for the reassurance. I think I'm 3DPO today, still a little while to go, I pray it goes well for myself and alllll the mums/mums to be here.
Baby dust to you allll ✨❤️🙏🏼

@Nursemum33 ohh I totally get you, the first pregnancy I had I literally did it once on the day of my peak...got pregnant that cycle. However due to what's happened with the loss of our baby. I'm paranoid that it won't happen again :(
But I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Good luck to you all you lovely ladies ✨❤️

Hi to all the new joiners on the thread!
Sorry to those of you that have had losses I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult that must be!
i hope this is the cycle for us all to get our BFPs!
@Astar21 i‘m 6 or 7 dpo (possibly 5) but I’m going with 7 I think. I’m also tempted to start testing from next week! Trying really hard not to symptom spot as I always get my hopes up x

How is everyone doing? I caved and did a test today (8DPO) which was a bit pointless and a BFN! I started a bit of spotting yesterday, which is annoying as it could be a good sign or a bad one, impossible to tell yet! I had spotting during my first pregnancy, and none during my second, and spotted last cycle which was a BFN. Going to try and hold off testing again until 10DPO. Anyone else caved and tested?!

Hi, I've tested pretty much every day since I was 7dpo 🤣 each month I tell myself I will just wait for a late AF. 11dpo today and BFN. 100% sure I'm out now. I know they say you're in till your AF shows, but I just know. Sending positive vibes to those still awaiting BFP! X x

Hi, yh I'm 11dpo today as well and BFN. Have tested pretty much everyday since 8DPO, I couldn't help myself 😂 I'm pretty sure I'm out too. Have already mentally prepared myself for next cycle. Probably still won't stop me testing tomorrow though 😂 I really hope we all get our BFNs soon!!

Meant BFPs!! xxx

Sorry to hear all BFNs so far...but it's still early days!
9DPO here and I've resisted testing so far. I think I might do one tomorrow?! But not feeling hopeful as no symptoms. The only thing I've had is some creamy/light brown discharge, which started on 7DPO and has been there on and off when I wipe. I have had brown spotting in the past pre-AF and I've also had implantation spotting too, so could mean either!
@ireneadler101 what's your spotting like?

Just a small amount of brown spotting but seems to have turned a bit redder this evening so I think I'm out, but we will see. No other symptoms so I'm not hopeful!

@Astar21 did you test today?

I caved and tested this morning on an easy@home. Unfortunately BFN. Know it’s early days as I’m 9 or 10 dpo but was really hoping!
AF due at the weekend according to Flo so I guess we’ll see what the rest of the week brings. I’m going to try and wait but I’ve just ordered another pack of easy@home pregnancy tests from Amazon so not sure if I’ll be able to resist!

Anyone else started testing?

Hey @Foreverhopeful92 I have 🤦‍♀️ Driving myself round the bend!

Mine from this morning attached, think they’re indents though 😞

Sorry posted too early! How’re you getting on @Foreverhopeful92 ?

My stomach was doing lots of strange things last week but seems like nothing this morning so just feel normal 🤷‍♀️

@JaneGnR88 aw it’s so difficult isn’t it! When is AF due for you?

Due on Saturday @Foreverhopeful92 but I have PCOS so this might not happen and I didn’t get a blazing positive on my OPKs this month so I’m not feeling very hopeful tbh! Xx

@Foreverhopeful92 no I've not bothered, woke up this morning and the spotting is getting heavier so I'm certain it's AF appearing now 😔
Fingers crossed it's just early days for you 🙏🏼

@JaneGnR88 it does look like there's something very faint but I can't be sure

@Astar21 sorry to hear that! Any chance it could be implantation bleeding? Fingers crossed it might be!

@JaneGnR88 still potentially early days for you too then! I’m also due Saturday according to Flo but as I’m guessing my peak as didn’t test over the right time it could be earlier or later!

@Foreverhopeful92 no this is exactly how my AF started last month. When I had implantation it was 8DPO and tailed off quickly. This is getting slowly heavier 😔

Thanks @Astar21 and @Foreverhopeful92 I keep trying to switch off but it’s so hard, and I was in such a mood last night I was so mean to DH for no reason (and he’s so lovely and understanding he was just like ok) which made me feel horrible!

Because my cycles are sometimes all over I feel like I should be carrying on with OPKs too but honestly I don’t have the energy at all 🥹

Anyway, another piccie for some line eyes of the test dry ✨

Sorry @Astar21 I cross posted! Hope you’re okay and looking after yourself, maybe treat yourself today if AF does properly arrive? 💕

@JaneGnR88 I think I can see the faintest shadow of a line, but could also be indent like you say. Must be so frustrating not knowing without a positive OPK! Keep testing 🤞

@Astar21 sorry lovely, hope you’re able to take things easy today.

So I caved yest with a BFN and that set me off to a sad day… woke up this morning to a temp rise of almost 0.2 which made me test again, another BFN at 11DPO. I know I’m not technically out, but I do think this is me out now. Keeping my fingers crossed for you ladies xx

Sorry to hear @Astar21 :( Hope you have something nice planned this evening or this week.

Morning all, how’re we all doing?

Tested this morning with frer and another easy@home and got the attached, I can see lines but I’m so scared and don’t want to trust them! What do we think? Are these for real or indents?

The easy@home is the darkest I’ve had so far 🤷‍♀️🙏🤞✨

@JaneGnR88 Hi!! that looks really promising!!

so I’m about 10 dpo, but not 100% sure as based on EWCM not OPk peak! I woke up this morning and tested half asleep looked BFN so went back to bed.
Now I know I shouldn’t have done this but I looked again later and now I see a line. I’ve never ever seen a line before it’s always been stark white and stayed that way but I’m well aware that it’s probably an indent or evap as was after the time limit. My rational brain knows this but my heart has hope!!!! 🙈
