TWW Buddies?

[Ncl31]

I’m currently 1DPO CD19.
Starting the gruelling TWW today. According to Clearblue app AF is due anytime between 17th (OH birthday) and 23rd December.
Im going to try not to symptom spot or test early but I know I’ll most likely do both!

@Hopefulx sorry to hear af turned up early, that sucks :( on the plus side your on to the next cycle and fingers crossed for you x

Has anyone had any experience with O pain dragging on? I’m only 2dpo but have had a really tender tummy since ovulation on Tuesday. Never had that before! I know it doesn’t mean anything for me as I didn’t have it with my 2 kids just curious if it’s normal really!

@Hopefulx I’m sorry AF has arrived. Hopefully next month you’ll have a more regular cycle and lots of baby dust!
@Char899 I had 2 days of O pain, the worst I’ve ever had before. Today I’ve had 2 episodes of sharp pain on my left side but only lasted a minute or so each time.
Here I go mega symptom spotting. I really need to get it out my head about testing until next weekend. Only 4/5DPO.

@Ncl31 oh not just me then! I didn’t really know that was a thing. Don’t think I’ve ever even noticed when I’ve ovulated in the past let alone had pain and a sore tummy for 2/3 days!
how’s everyone feeling? I’m trying to hold out until 10dpo. That’s my target lol

@Char899 im exactly the same. Never had ovulation pain before, that I know of. I’ve never noticed any CM after ovulation either that I remember.

Ive never heard of it dragging on. I dont even think i get ovulation pain, Would be a handy little heads up. Maybe you ovulated earlier and its implantation?

I wondered that but I had 2 peak opks on the 5th and o pain on the 6th so feel quite confident on the date I ovulated. Just really odd. All settled down now. Felt a little nauseous yesterday for no apparent reason but otherwise trying not to symptom spot! Only 5dpo 🙄 is anyone close to testing yet? Fingers crossed for some bfps next week 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Char899 I’m in the same boat as you. 7DPO, trying not to symptom spot either but I went for a walk yesterday along the fish quay and was retching at the smell which doesn’t normally bother me.

Ohhh that definitely sounds positive! I think smells can be a big tell! I’ll try not to encourage you to read in to it though 😂 when are you planning on testing? Really feel like it’s dragging so slowly this month!

I’m going to try and hold out until 17th. Really don’t want to experience the disappointment every day with a BFN leading up to Christmas. I’m not sure I can last that long though, i already feel like I’ve waiting 6 million years this month already and I’m only 7DPO 😂
when are you trying to hold out until?

I feel exactly the same, just feels really long this time around. I was thinking the 16th for testing. I’ll be 10dpo, I’ve always had a positive by 10dpo so I’ll know if it’s stark white at that point I’m probably out! Besides, I don’t think I’m capable of waiting longer than that 😂

I dunno if i’m out or not!
I had some light spotting earlier on today but Af isn’t due until Wednesday. But its now stopped again!
Part of me doesn’t want to think it could be implantion bleeding. Cos I’ll be gutted all over again if I wake up tomorrow and it’s officially my period 🥲🥲

Hello ladies, hope it's ok to join this group.
We are starting to try this month, ovulated on 9th Dec so very early in the process. Will be going on holiday next week so will try to test after we are back after Xmas.

@santastolemycat its so difficult not to get hopes built up isn’t it. Fingers crossed for you that it isn’t AF, keep us updated.

@PeacefulD when is AF due?

I’ve slept rubbish last night, literally dreamt all night that I was getting BFPs. My nipples have been super sensitive but I get that with AF too so trying not to get my hopes built up. 9DPO today.

@Ncl31 hello! AF is due 23rd. I am not keeping my hopes up as we started this month and it took us a while to conceive first time around. But we never know! It's nice to be on a thread with everyone in the same boat, waiting lol

@Ncl31 got my fingers crossed for you! Hope we get to see some bfps this week! 6dpo over here so now I’m sat here thinking oh I wonder if implantation will be happening yet 🤦🏼‍♀️

@PeacefulD very true. Who knows, it only takes 1 little swimmer though. Fingers crossed for you.

@Ncl31 are you testing soon?

Has anyone got any early symptoms?

Joining in with you 😊 I used opks for the first time this month and got my peak on the 5/12 CD 17. Am I right in thinking ovulation then occurs up to 48 hours after this? So today is cd 25 I am around 7dpo today. Been testing the last couple of days because I can't help myself 😂 obviously all bfn. I am due my period around the 19th, according to ovulation and app, which would make a 30 day cycle, though mine can be 28-37 (pcos).
I am feeling no symptoms at all yet this month, where as I usually get them all 😂.
My nipples don't feel the best 😂 but I also have a teething one year old I'm still breastfeeding, so could be that.
Good luck everyone 😊🍀

@PeacefulD i want to test every minute of the day but I’ve manage to hold out up to now. Trying to wait until Saturday when AF is due if I can.

Im still no further forward! Still bleeding but it’s very very light and off and on which is unusual as AF is normally very heavy for me and once it starts it’s all go!!
Havent had time to do a test as on early starts at work.
Will see how today pans out and will maybe do one tomorrow assuming things carry on like this 🤯

9DPO and I’ve just had (TMI) a large amount of EWCM… it actually felt like I’d wet myself, went to the toilet and it was a load of CM, clear, jelly like.

anyone experienced this before?

@Ncl31 I'm trying to remember how it was first time around, I think I did have lots of discharge few days before AF. We were trying for a while and my experience is there was not a lot of difference between BFP and BFN, but yeah lots of discharge and sensitive nipples are a good sign. I did get BFP 2-3 days before AF though, so I am sure you can test a day or two earlier. I know it's not always the case for everyone...

@PeacefulD I’ve woken up this morning with cramp that feels like AF could be on the way. Nipples are still sore but no more CM, I’m so going to hold out and see.
At least when AF arrives I’m able to ring to book my HSG. Although if it arrives today or tomorrow I’ll be having it Christmas Eve time and I’m not sure I have time for that so I may have to wait until next cycle.

This wee line came up in the time frame! can anyone else see it?!
Not sure it should be darker by now so i’m still confused
