TWW Buddies?

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!

@Ncl31
I am 9 or 10 DPO but still having light bleeding again today so i’m not getting too excited. I’ve got a bad feeling it’s not gonna stick around.

CZ9294 · 14/12/2022 11:20

@santastolemycat this looks like a clear positive to me! How many DPO are you? X

CZ9294 · 14/12/2022 11:21

@santastolemycat jusg seen your above response! I hope it sticks! A tentative congrats. Bleeding can be common during implantation stages and in the first trimester x

santastolemycat · 14/12/2022 12:09

@CZ9294
Im trying to be positive!
It was much easier with my first period was a no show and the stick lit up like a xmas tree 🤣🤣

PeacefulD · 14/12/2022 14:07

@santastolemycat
Yeah with my first, it was clear BFP 2 days before AF, and I have regular cycles. Hopefully it all goes well for you 🙏

PeacefulD · 14/12/2022 14:09

I didn't get bleeding or spotting but I did get it on week 7 which completely freaked me out, all turned out ok. I think spotting is common during implantation, read somewhere it up to 25% of women have it, so I don't think spotting is a bad sign.

CZ9294 · 14/12/2022 22:07

Ladies, I had my peak on 5th December. I feel absolutely awful today. I feel really sick, achey and have lower back pain in my left side. I’ve somehow convinced myself I must be pregnant. But then I’m rationalising that I’m probably wishfully imagining the symptoms! I remember with my first, I noticed veiny boobs and they felt bigger. That doesn’t apply this time as I’m still breastfeeding, so it’s hard to tell for any changes there. I think I’m 9dpo today (well 9 days from my peak anyway). I have tests in but trying to resist the urge.

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 😊🍀

Hi@Rebeccaaa I was also breastfeeding until October, got my period in March though and it's been somewhat stable. I did hear that with breastfeeding, it is trickier to figure out ovulation. Did you use any ovulation kits? Best of luck this cycle

Ncl31 · 14/12/2022 07:26

@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.

Good luck. How are you feeling today? Is it DPO10 already?

Yeah it's really confusing with breastfeeding. It's still a bit earlier, but maybe try testing in a day or two?

Rebeccaaa · 14/12/2022 22:43

Yes I tracked ovulation this month, first time in my life, which is surprising because it satisfies that need to pee on something 😳😂 I got my peak on the 5th. Didn't even make it 6 months breastfeeding this time when my period decided to show her face again 😩
I am testing, with cheapie, still bfn. I don't know how you all have so much willpower

@PeacefulD i had no more cramp than the niggle yesterday morning. Spent the day in the hairdressers yesterday which kept me occupied I guess.
Im off to the picket line this morning (I’m a nurse) but lying here in bed debating whether to give FRER a shot. I’m out tonight at a retirement do and it’s bottomless cocktails… I can opt for mocktails if I want and could use the excuse of being at work tomorrow. I really wanted to wait until Saturday but im not sure I can hold on much longer.
My nipples are still sore but that’s the only thing really, felt a little sickly last night but I’d craved chocolate and eaten a few celebrations so it could have been that.
I’m 11DPO today.

11 dpo.. you are so close to knowing. I always got bfps around 9dpo but trying to hold out this time… not due until 21st. Hoping for a bfp for you, you seem to have good symptoms x

Butterflygirl23 · 15/12/2022 06:42

Hey can I join?
I'm due 21st too, I've come down with the awful flu it's knocked me out so it's really hard to symptom spot because I'm Ill, I've tried not to think about it really
How is everyone?

BFN this morning. Although AF isn’t officially due until 17th I’ve a feeling I’m out this month.
