TWW gang December 2022

[Iwouldlikeababyplease]

Hi all! Quite a newbie signing up but a lurker no doubt. TTC baby #1 cycle 5. I only realised after being a lurker that regular lube has possibly been the reason why cycle 1-4 hasn’t worked. Now using preseed when needing an extra bit of slip and slide!

Currently 3dpo, due on 14th December and been having high thigh and side of pubic region stabbing pains today. I know too soon to be having any symptoms but desperately want this to be my month! Anyone else in the TWW and having symptoms?

Hey! I am 5 or 6 DPO and my boobs are swollen and sore but I think it is too early still.

Other than that I am slightly hungrier but I do tend to get hungrier in the luteal phase anyways.

Hard not to symptom spot 😂

sending you baby dust 🧚🏽‍♀️

Ooh that is a good sign though! Since I’ve been taking my pre natal vitamins I don’t get sore boobs before AF so I’m hoping if I get them now it means good things! Do you normally get sore boobs?

I know so hard not to spot!!! Not much going on today though but have been out and about for work so maybe not noticing as much as I would on a lazy Sunday 😂

sending lots of baby dust 🧚🏻‍♀️

I’m 1DPO. I’m going to try not to symptom spot if I can. I drive myself crazy last cycle. I’ve come home poorly from work today vomiting, there’s been 6 of us all bad so no doubt just a bug. I wish I was at work to
keep myself busy rather than think about the TWW every minute of the day…

Hello! 6 DPO today, cycles are 26-28 days so can test in 8 days.

No real signs but tired but that's not a real sign until a little later on x

@Iwouldlikeababyplease that’s interesting about prenatal vitamins, I think I could be the opposite and since I have been taking them I get sore boobs or I could be reading into it too much 😂

I do get sore boobs sometimes, I had a Mc in September and my boobs have stayed slightly bigger than normal ever since. The last few cycles they have been slightly swollen but then af arrived so trying not to think about it too much.

Think I’ll test in about 7 days i think! When is everyone going to test?

@Ncl31 oh no sorry to hear about your sickness bug, how are you feeling this morning? Fingers crossed your body is feeding your little seed and that’s why you’re ill! I drive myself crazy with it all too! It’s so stressful when something doesn’t go to plan let alone for however many cycles! How many cycles have you been trying?

@gemloving I have everything crossed for you! How are you feeling today? Any new symptoms?

@Hopefulx haha the human body is so strange! I wish this experience was straightforward with the same symptoms! Really sorry to hear about your MC, sending big hugs! I’m going to do a cheapie on Sunday, I bought a wondfo pack on eBay a few cycles ago which had 20 pregnancy tests and 55 opks 😂 pretty sure I have about 10 pregnancy tests and 15 opks now! Sunday makes me 10dpo - is that too soon? Due next Wednesday which is 13dpo… maybe I should wait for our red lady date! What’s your thoughts?

I hope you all have a lovely day xxx

@Iwouldlikeababyplease I feel better this morning thank you, just tired. I’m staying off work today as I work in NHS and can’t go in until I’m clear of vomiting for 48 hours. Still feeling exhausted so I’m going to have a day in my pyjamas. I might wrap OH Christmas and birthday presents while he’s at work!
you’re right it is frustrating and so difficult to get wrapped up in it all.

How are you feeling?

@Ncl31 hope you feel better soon. Great idea wrapping presents today 🥰 stick on the film ‘the holiday’ in the background too!

@Iwouldlikeababyplease 😂😂I have the same pack as you! I’ve nearly done all my pregnancy tests. Yes I would try 10 DPO and if negative I would test again on 12/13 DPO. I’m going to test Saturday which will be 10 DPO as I’m out drinking and best to know if I am before I drink 2 bottles of wine 😂

have a lovely day all x x

Heyyyy! Just started my TWW, on 1DPO (I think. Though had an LH surge on Sunday but sharp pains yesterday so somewhere between 1 and 2 DPO). DH has LL so only managed the act once on Saturday unfortunately but we'll see though unlikely. Going to try not to stress about it this month and just be as supportive as I can. Love to you all 💕

@Iwouldlikeababyplease no symptoms but it's our first cycle trying so not too hopeful and trying not to put too much pressure on. How are you?

@Ncl31 That’s a lovely idea, I hope you managed to have a nice day with no more sickness! Are you back to work tomorrow?

@Hopefulx hahaha twinning! Yes deffo have a wine if negative! I do wonder when doing things on the no no list is actually from, because I really love me some Brie! 😂

@peepingmeercat welcome! I only DTD CD10, 13 and 14 (peak LH) and I assume I ovulated on day 15. They say it only takes one so fingers crossed for you! Apologies but I don’t know what LL is but I really hope you’re both doing ok and sending loads of love and hope! Totally normal to stress, that’s why we’re all here trying to vent all these thoughts and emotions we have to go through alone - here to listen and give a warm virtual hug! I’ve spoken to a few friends about it but feeling such disappointment when I don’t have any news which even annoys me because I’m doing it for me not for them!

@gemloving fingers crossed for you that this is a quick and smooth ride! We’re all here either way! Exciting times ahead for us all! Is this your first?

Sorry I completely forget to answer questions for me. Feeling good but slept terribly last night and still having stabby pains but about 99.9% confident it’s wind 😂😂😂 so currently no symptoms. I feel like I’m having a big boob day but no associated soreness! Can’t wait to just get to Sunday to test - it’s all that’s on my
mind I’m going crazy! Saw three magpies yesterday so just going to be hopeful for a baby girl 🤣

@Iwouldlikeababyplease I’m not back at work until Thursday, tomorrow is my day off so at least I have another day to recover.
my darling OH took me out tonight for a new pair of boots after he walked in on my in floods of tears. Had a very emotional afternoon and just not sure how much more I can take right now.
Ive recently lost my nana and my grandad is rapidly going downhill. Then each month the BFNs just get me.

Also 1DPO.... it's always a long TWW! Happy to have people to share it with though. 😊

Hiya, fellow lurker here too at the tail end of TWW. Been trying for a year and had 2 MCs, 1 early and 1 MMC - 12 DPO and have weird symptoms so hoping for a BFP and resisting not testing again until over 14 (i have no idea what my cycle is due to messed up hormones over last year and seem to be longer to test positive if going by previous) if not I have some sort of bug 🙈 3.30am nausea, boobs are huge and cramps in right side. Starting to worry I’m wanting this so much my body is fooling me tho…

@Peachy3118 I'm sorry for your losses. I'm hoping you'll get your BFP!

Hi all, how are you all doing @Hopefulx @Ncl31 @gemloving @peepingmeercat @Needtobuildabridge @Peachy3118 ?

Did a cheapie yesterday at 6DPO - no surprise it was BFN 😢.

Just feeling super impatient this month, just had the biggest cry and wobble to my DP and he is just so lovely but I don't think understands how much I'm thinking/stressing/obsessing over this process. We both discussed last night how great our fertile sex sessions were which makes me hopeful that it turns out positive next week as was definitely a lot of love involved!

Can anyone give me a virtual hug and tell me I'm not crazy please. Just feeling super lonely and sad and I really just want a little family so bad 😣.

Also how many dpo are you all? Any bfps in the last few days?

Sending love and baby dust x

@Iwouldlikeababyplease hey lovely! Sending you a massive hug, I am also feeling the same.
You aren’t crazy, it’s natural to get upset when it’s something you want so badly - I feel you!

AF turned up this morning on 9DPO - not sure what is going on with my cycles since my miscarriage but they are all over the place.

I’m now on CD1 sending you all the luck! x x x

@Iwouldlikeababyplease im good thank you. Have been extremely emotion and teary today. Also had 2 episodes of sharp pulling pains but only 4/5DPO so I’m not sure if I’m just super sensitive to everything my body is doing.
The last 2 days I’ve had a decent amount of CM too.
Lacking any sore boobs - everyone tells me I’ll know I’m pregnant because I’ve got sore boobs. Hoping I can keep going and not test until AF is due 17th.
Im sorry you’re feeling that way, it’s very difficult and we put so much pressure onto ourselves. You’re not crazy but sending lots of hugs and baby dust your way.

@Iwouldlikeababyplease my 3rd so been there done that part of thing. What about you?

I'm still symptomless at 10 DPO

@Iwouldlikeababyplease my first two babies didn't show positive before 14DPO aka when I was supposed to have my period

Hi all. Sending baby dust to all.
2 dpo today
Af due 21/12

@Happyhappy39soon40 That's me too! Crossed fingers for us 😊

How's everyone getting on

Hi everyone @Hopefulx @Ncl31 @gemloving @peepingmeercat @Needtobuildabridge @Peachy3118 @Happyhappy39soon40

Hope you're all doing ok and having a nice weekend! Annoyingly last night I fell flat on my face at an evening national trust lights event 🤣😢 only 9dpo today so hoping I haven't done any damage if I am preggo although feeling still quite pessimistic! Our next fertile window is over the Christmas break if AF arrives Wednesday which seems great to have the time off work to relax and get down to it 😂

@Hopefulx sorry about that stupid bitch AF! Fingers crossed a Christmas bump in the sheets will help!

@Ncl31 that's exciting for some symptoms! Anymore the last few days?

@gemloving good to know about 14dpo test - I'm sure il POAS before then if no AF on Wednesday but il think of you!

@Needtobuildabridge @Happyhappy39soon40 I have my fingers crossed for you both!!!

@Happyhappy39soon40 doing ok apart from the fall last night 🙈 silly me! How are you??
