TWW starting 27.10.22 - who's with me?

[MrsAlexander]

I say it starts today... today is ovulation day and will be the last baby dancing with my other half so I'm pretty much counting from now.

I had an early MC on the 11th October (I have had MC and MMC before - no living children) and have tracked my ovulation with the CB tests. After a rough few weeks I literally could have cried seeing ovulation was bang on the day it was the previous cycle where I got pregnant.

Anyway, who's with me and starting their TWW around now? I'd love some support to be honest although I'm obviously a little battered and bruised (literally from four HCG tests a few weeks ago) not pinning every hope but equally enjoying my optimism right now until we know one way or another ♥️ x

How is everyone? 7dpo here and becoming impaitent 🤣 BBT spiked at 3dpo and seems to be staying in the higher region 🤞

Hi @NatalieSF

Glad to hear the temperatures are doing what they should be. I’ve not bothered this month (+I’ve had a cold so I’m sure they’d have been all over the place)

I’m just 4 DPO so I’m taking no symptoms as a good sign right now. Early PMS type-stuff at this point would have me worrying I had got my dates wrong 😄

Were nearly getting there!! I got a positive OPK test on 27th would that make me 5dpo?

I've been experiencing mild cramps and feeling sick since last night. I'm in my 40s and a bit scared of the increased risk of miscarriage. Trying not to get my hopes up too much.
Also it could just be perimenopause! I'm at work till 2 o clock, nothing strenuous or stressful, then I will buy a test and see what happens.

@NatalieSF All good here, my BBT also reached a high at 3 dpo and has stayed there since - I'm only 5dpo today though. Have you charted in other cycles?

@whatnots2015 That sounds like a good sign, do you know how many dpo you are today? Let us know how you get on with testing.

Hello!
Test done, no lines at all. Who knew that peeing on a stick could be so hard? I guess that there wasn't enough sample so I will try again a bit later.
My last period started on 28 September according to my diary.
I'm still feeling sick and crampy woo hoo!
Sending positive thoughts to all x

We are DPO twins @kt1302

Well I'm still trying not to symptom spot but if I'm being really honest with you (I haven't even told DP this!) I'm starting to feel the feelings as I did the last cycle which I MC 🤐

From right after ovulation I just knew I would be pregnant then, I can't describe it. I had rumblings on occasion for 20/30 seconds and I knew it was far too soon for AF.

I don't want to say anything to him this time, he also felt I was pregnant last time - he was really positive this was it and it broke him when I MC.

It could be in my head, of course it could be as it's only 5DPO and I don't want to feel stupid but I do feel like this could be a possibility... time will tell 🕰️

Hopefully you are right 🤞🤞
When are you going to test?
I feel very crampy and sore breasts also a lot of gas!! So I'm hoping these are good signs x

The gas... wowsers. I'm turning into my own musical instrument at times 😅😅😅
The other one that I notice the most is insane thirst and nothing quenches it - both are the exact same as last month.

I'm aiming for Sunday - I had my faint positive 9DPO last time so that's probably what I'll start with. The hardest bit is I almost don't want anything to happen like last time as that didn't end well ☹️

My period appears to have started this evening, only 7 to 10 days after it was due! It's been a rollercoaster over the last few days wondering what's going on!
Sending everyone here positive wishes :-)

Awww no @whatnots2015 - sorry to read that. With you saying you've been trying for 3 years, have they done any tests on you and your OH now? My DP had his sperm tested a few months ago and I use the Clearblue Ovulation Kits to make sure I'm ovulating x

Morning ladies, I hope everyone is ok today. I'm 6dpo now so still very early days but in that bit where implantation is possible so I'm starting to overthink a little bit. Hope everyone else is managing to stay calm and relax xx

Morning @vitahelp I think I'm just at the point now where I either am, or I'm not. It's out of my control either way but equally... the days go SO slowly don't they? It's to the point where every morning I go back to the calendar to recheck how many days it is because 🥹

@vvitahelp this is our first month tracking BBT so I've no idea whats normal and what's not for me yet. Its dropped a little today but still quite high compared to other times of the month.

8dpo now and ordered some fr tests this morning ready for the weekend. Going to try not to use 1 as soon as they arrive but the impatience is growing haha

6dpo for me! bad headaches today, hoping that's a good sign.
I work full time Monday - Friday so I'm wanting the weekend here as in the week is when I think about it the most and it doesn't help that I work on a computer so can google whenever I like! This weekend I will try and keep as busy as I can x

@NatalieSF Your chart is looking good. When does AF usually arrive for you? I've been charting a few months and it is really helpful for knowing when/if you ovulated and it has also helped me know when I'm not pregnant as my temp will start dropping at about 10 dpo (I have 12 day luteal phase) and it stops me from testing. My temp dropped slightly today too, but I'm a bit behind you at 6dpo. You can get an implantation dip (I had one at 9dpo when I was pregnant with my daughter) but apparently they are quite rare.

@kt1302 We're dpo twins! I hope the headaches are a good sign for you! I also work on a PC and although it is quite busy I do find my mind drifting to symptom spotting etc.. I'm quite busy this weekend going away to visit family and a bonfire party so I'm hoping I'll not overthink too much. Do you know when you might test or are you going to try not to and wait for AF?

@vvitahelp Af is due Wednesday my cycles usually 28 days. This will be baby 4 (pregnancy 5) for me and I didn't do any of this stuff other than ovulation tests. My youngest is 6 so I barely remember any symptoms lol I feel so clueless for someone who's had 4 pregnancies 🤣

@MrsAlexander I think our main symptom could be just old age as we're in our early 40s! But I will have a chat with husband and see what's available to help.
Sending lots of baby dust to you as they say 🙂

Bless you I'm not far behind you @whatnots2015 - I'm 37 but plenty manage it so I'm keeping positive. We got this x

@NatalieSF AF is due on Thursday for me so quite similar. I’ve got one daughter and have totally forgotten everything as she’s 4 now so I know what you mean!

@whatnots2015 @MrsAlexander Ladies I’m 36 so right there with you! We can do this x

8dpo over here also 👋 I’m doing ok at not symptom spotting too much, but now that we’re hovering around implantation day I know it’s going to be much harder! I’ve also thrown myself into work which has helped, so I’m feeling a little apprehensive about the weekend coming up where I won’t be so easily distracted. Anyone got any good tips for keeping their mind occupied on other things? Or should I just surrender to the inevitable anxiety? 😂 Don’t really want to test until missed period if I can wait that long 😬

Hi all! Hope its OK to join and for cross posting! Just did these tests with FMU, I'm 10dpo. Got faint lines with evening tests at 8dpo. Still finding it hard to believe as I didn't get even a faint line until 12dpo with my first!

@Moonshine89 Congratulations!! I got a BFP at 10dpo with my daughter so it's definitely possible. It depends when implantation happens (can be anywhere between 6-12dpo) so you may have implanted earlier this time xx

@HelloItSoph I know the feeling. A bit of gentle exercise always helps me with my anxiety so that’s my plan but I’ve got a long weekend this weekend so I hope I won’t be doing too much googling! Next Thursday feels like a long way away, but at least I’ve got things to keep me busy.
I’ve started with some mild PMS type symptoms (including a giant spot on my nose 🙄) over the last 24hrs so I’d be surprised if it’s my month this month, but not counting any chickens (or should that be lack of chickens?) until Aunty Flo comes to visit.

@Moonshine89 congratulations! It is on the earlier side to get positives at 8 DPO but you can’t deny those! Perhaps you ovulated a little early this month or maybe have two on board? Either way, it’s exciting for you and earlier rather than later implantation is a positive sign that you’ve got a little one that will stay put.

Congratulations @Moonshine89 🥳

I'm 7DPO and I'm trying my best not to symptom spot. It's taking everything I have not to, also trying not to mention any potential symptoms to DP although I honestly feel so much like last cycle (MC) with the thirsty and that feeling that "somethings going on in there" but it's another week or so until AF would be due.

Time will tell ⏰
