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?

@Iwouldlikeababyplease same here although, 3 days ago. Sending hugs Flowers

Journey2022 · 15/12/2022 15:01

@gemloving @Iwouldlikeababyplease sorry your both out this month. Stay positive for next month and now just focus on being your healthiest happiest most relax self ready for your January cycle. Sending you both lots of positivity!!

I'm 6dpo I'm symptom spotting and really need to not symptom spot as it will make it harder to get a bdn.
Day 3 I had some light period like cramps (definitely too early I know)
Day 5 and today day 6 I've had twinges and aches mainly on lower right side quite deep in the pelvis but also a bit on the left. I definitely ovulated from the right side on thr 9th as I felt it. I've also had lightening crotch yesterday, then lightening pain similar but in the right side of my groin.

Basically all could be from a tough gym session, higher hormone levels due to taking letrozole or basically just gas 🙄😆🙈

I also know 6dpo having symptoms is highly unlikely and I'm being silly!

I had a cd21 progesterone test this morning (but late as I ovulate late so had it cd23) I should get them results tomorrow.

@gemloving @Iwouldlikeababyplease sorry ti hear you’re both out.

Iwouldlikeababyplease · 15/12/2022 16:37

Thanks @gemloving @Journey2022 @Ncl31 sending lots of love and baby dust to the thread! Wish I could change the title to 2023 now 🤣. Staying positive for a January BFP!!

@Journey2022 fingers crossed for you! I hate the TWW it's an official announcement! I had so many symptoms this month it was unreal 😅 damn body! I was so convinced!

Nearly Christmas is everyone ready!?

@Iwouldlikeababyplease haha thank you the tww is a killer. Another pen pal fertility friend I have been chatting to since march time finally got her BFP this week for Christmas and I'm beyond excited for her, it's lovely to share and have others support you. It would be lovely to share the pregnancy journey with some of those who have shared the fertility journey - but if not ill be excited and cheering anyone on with a BFP regardless!

Talking of christmas I'm sitting here doing the endless wrapping at the moment! I'm over Xmas songs though so have adele keeping me company - considering a small red wine aswell! 😆
To be honest atleast christmas is a nice distraction from wanting to do a pregnancy test.

What about everyone else?

Sparkle98 · 15/12/2022 20:17

Can I join please??? I’m 6dpo and would love some company x

Journey2022 · 15/12/2022 23:21

@Sparkle98 of course!! How is your tww going so far?! Are you pulling your hair out yet? How many cycles have you been ttc?

Needtobuildabridge · 16/12/2022 12:15

I'm on day 9. Boobs are a little tender, but not much. I don't usually have that as part of my PMAS though. I don't want to hope! The wait is horrid! 😅

Sparkle98 · 16/12/2022 14:52

When are you all testing? X

Needtobuildabridge · 16/12/2022 17:10

@Sparkle98 I've said I will at 12dpo.... but I'm not sure if I can last that long 🙈 Day 9 today!

Sparkle98 · 16/12/2022 17:31

Ellbell1234 · 16/12/2022 19:50

Hi everyone! I’m a newbie! (Hope I’m doing this right 🙈). In currently onto month 5 TTC. I’m 12 dpo (AF due Sunday, in 2 days time). I haven’t been making myself too crazy this tww as I haven’t had any symptoms to obsess over so just felt general sadness it hadnt worked. Until 2 nights ago (10dpo) I went to the toilet and wiped and had pink spotting!!!! I’ve never ever ever had spotting in my life, my periods are every 28 days like clockwork so never seen anything like this. Could this be implantation bleeding does anyone know? Since this I’ve had cramps too. I’ve took 2 first response test this morning and I’m still negative so I’m so confused. Could anyone help me? BABY DUST TO EVERYONE🙏🏻❤️✨

Thank you so much for getting back to me. No I’ve had nothing since but I have had pains around my ovaries. Seems sharper than my usual dull period ache. I will try and test again in a few days. Did yoies look like this? Thank you x

Sparkle98 · 16/12/2022 21:21

I didn’t have any bleeding but im only 7dpo , from what I’ve seen about implantation bleeding it looks like good news lots of baby dust to you x

Journey2022 · 17/12/2022 18:09

Hi all. Driving myself crazy on 8dpo. I had spotting yesterday and I've always said if I had spotting I would consider myself oit - I've checked and since January I've spotted on 7dpo or before on 5 of the cycle (so basically 50% of the time!). But this was very very light blood and with a creamy discharge. But not much at all. So I'm feeling hopeful this actually may be an IB. I'm still occasionally getting ovary twinges and aches both sides and lightening crotch. I have one FRER in my cupboard and considering to use it first thing in the morning. I really wanted to hold out until Tuesday atleast but not sure I can 😬🙈 would I be silly using a FRER on 9dpo?!

Butterflygirl23 · 17/12/2022 20:18

So my flo app says I ovulated last Thursday but I feel like it was the Saturday or Sunday that's when I noticed quite abit of discharge etc, I just know my body. So I'm roughly 7dpo (I think). When I got home from work last night as I wiped after using the loo I had blood so I assumed my period started 4 day early, so used a tampon and when I checked it while later there was little bit of blood on it pinky/dark brown and a blob of blood drop on it that's all but I put a tampon in for night time assuming I'd of bled and by the morning it was completely empty l, I never ever spot before a period. I'm due on next Tuesday or Wednesday. And I haven't had any blood at all since that one time last evening so could it be implantation bleeding? We DTD last Tuesday and on the Saturday, also I've had no symptoms of af at all what I usually get .. I'm so sorry for the long essay and too much details I'm just overthinking and really want it to be implantation

Journey2022 · 17/12/2022 22:42

@Butterflygirl23 I'm in the same boat but I guess we don't know. Unless we spot or bleed further. Its driving me mad a bit this month. I think I'm going to end up doing the frer just holding out as long as possible! Keep me updated!

Needtobuildabridge · 17/12/2022 22:45

I caved 🙈 10dpo and a bfn. Taking the test at 5pm probably didn't help either....

2021lady · 18/12/2022 10:16

Can I have people's opinion on this? I am 12dpo

Journey2022 · 18/12/2022 13:59

@2021lady I think there may be something faint. Can you take a photo in the light or with a flash as it has the shadow over it makes it hard to tell.
