Looking for TWW buddies....

[peaky297]

Hey! I'm on my first month of TTC baby number 2!
I'm now approx 7dpo (I think!) And in the two week wait.
Anyone else?

Update from me… I have a faint line on my last two tests. Will do a digital and a frer at the weekend 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻No AF or spotting since a few days ago.

@LS888 sure looks like a positive to me! Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐

Congratulations @LS888! definitely positive. Look forward to seeing your lines progress and your digital positive 🥳

Confirmed this morning with a digital and another clear line on easy at home.

🥰🥰🥰

@LS888 congratulations! What an amazing Christmas present!

little update from me - 7dpo today and my resting heart rate is really high late 80s/90s. That’s how I knew I was pregnant with my daughter because my heart rate went up when I was just lying on the couch. I’m hoping it’s not just a coincidence! I MIGHT test tomorrow evening but definitely Monday morning as I got a positive test with my daughter at 9dpo. I’ll keep you updated.

My heart rate went up after ovulation and hasn’t come back down. There has been a gradual increase and now it’s about 10 more beats per minute than in was! A good sign for you! 🤞🏻

Wonderful news! ✨️🎊
I didn't know the heart rate thing was a thing, so will def keep an eye on that moving forward! Sounds promising though 🤞 keep us posted!

I'm keeping my promise not to test today, hard as it is! So the only update is still no AF, very tired but difficulty falling asleep and last night I had really random vivid dreams 🤷‍♀️.

Have a great day everyone! X

@LS888 amazing! So comforting to see the digital. Congratulations.

@nadsc my resting heart rate went up when I was pregnant too. Definitely a positive sign 🤞🏻

Ah this is amazing news!!

Hoping I've now ovulated and I'm on the TWW... again!!

Here's a round up of my fertile week

CD 12 digital OPK blank circle - didn't DTD
CD 13 digital OPK blank circle - didn't DTD
CD 14 digital OPK static smiley - DTD
CD 15 super strong positive strip OPK - DTD
CD 16 super strong positive strip OPK - DTD

Really hoping the above means we're in with a good shot but worried we left most of the DTD too late after the positive OPK.

Any advice / thoughts / experience welcome

Can I join? I'm anywhere between 4-6dpo don't know exactly when I ovulated but BD a load so confident we caught the window. Started using the opks a bit too late after telling myself I wasn't using them this time 🤣 cycle 1 for baby number 2. Took 7 months to conceive our DD she's now almost 2.5.
Period is regular between 27/30 days but normally 27 or 28 days so the earliest I can test will be a week today. Logest time everrrr.
Obviously I've been symptom spotting, another thing I said I would do this time around.

Hi @monsteramunch you should be covered. Did you dtd before cd12 too? What I’ve heard about the CB test is you can’t see the build up to your peak. What I’ve heard others do and did myself was use OPK’s then when I thought I got me peak used the CB digital to see if it was a static smiley. I dtd Saturday, got my peak Monday and dtd then too. So I’m hoping I’m covered too.
Hi @Stilltobeseen l’m 6dpo and symptom spotting like mad too. What symptoms have you got so far? I’ve got a bad cold at the moment so some of my symptoms can be explained away with that such as back ache, sore boobs, congested nose, higher than normal resting heart rate. But I’ve been checking my cervix and it seems to be higher, and I keep getting reflux/heartburn like I did with my first. Trying to hold off until the 1st December to test at the earliest

Hi @GemLou88 i woke up yesterday with a really sore left boob then randomly in the afternoon some suuuuper knarly lower back pain that radiated around my hips (I had this in early pregnancy last time but much further along not in the TWW), I've had mild cramps on and off and tmi but I get moment when I can just FEEL my nipples. I don't know if that makes sense but it's like I hyper aware of them 🤣.

@Stilltobeseen that all sounds positive. When are you planning to test?

@peaky297 how are you getting on? Still planning on testing tomorrow?

@GemLou88 no earlier than a week today. Due my period the following Thursday. Ugh.

@GemLou88

Thanks for your reply 😊

Unfortunately I was away with work until CD13 so no chance to DTD any earlier in my window but hopefully we caught the best days!

Got everything crossed for us both (and everyone else!) this month

BFN for me this morning. I do think I’m out. Periods not due until Friday/Saturday. The body is so cruel - literally been cramping for days, it really knows how to play tricks on us all. Here’s hoping I get my Christmas present of a positive pregnancy test!

@Stilltobeseen you have more will power than me!
@monsteramunch 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
@nadsc its still early. You have another 3/4 days until AF due!
I tested this morning when I told myself I should as I’m only 7dpo. Of course a BFN. Have to laugh at myself

@GemLou88 Here’s hoping one of us gets our BFP soon. Have you had any symptoms?

@nadsc some, but nothing that makes me think this is it. I’ve had the flu and still getting over it so the back ache and tiredness I can say is that. I’ve had some mild, pretty constant cramping. Some stronger twinges today. I’ve seen other posts where ladies have carried on taking OPK’s and it’s gotten stronger before getting their BFP. I’ve took one yesterday and again today. Todays is stronger than yesterday’s but I don’t think it means much for me. It’s still early still, but I’m not confident for this month. How are you feeling?

@GemLou88 I’ve been having hot flushes, waves of nausea, tiredness but that could be because of my little one and cramping. Plot twist though, just did a cheapie test and there’s a line. It’s not one where I have to go looking for it but I’m so annoyed cos I didn’t do a FRER and now I wish I did, I have to hold my wee now for a few hours. How’s it looking for you?

@nadsc amazing! How many dpo are you? Send a photo if you can.
Yesterday I had frequent urination and light cramping. I needed a wee about 4 this morning and was desperate and didn’t test. But during the night and this morning the cramps have become stronger, so has the back pain. I think AF will be here soon, which is fine, just want to know either way

@GemLou88 Those are all positive signs though. When will you test again?

I’m 10dpo today. I’ve taken pictures by it’s so hard to see, it’s quite dark where I am today so the lighting isn’t great. I did a first response around 9ish and there’s a line. Tomorrow, hopefully it’s darker and I’ll send a picture then. Im trying to not get too excited but it’s so hard. I’m off to buy an extra digital because I told my husband I’d test with him whenever that is but I want to make sure first. I have been telling him I’m not pregnant though

@nadsc im only 8dpo today so I know it’s still early. While I’ve been at work the cramps have eased up. I know it’s hard to get excited, but this seems so positive. Fingers crossed for a darker line for you tomorrow!

This evenings test. A lot darker than the one this morning 🤞🏻

are you going to test tomorrow @GemLou88
