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!

Sorry @Ncl31 Onwards and upwards!! 2023 is your year!!
I am starting to believe I am actually pregnant. Had 4 positive tests and now have like really tender boobs.
Have practically been an M15 agent at xmas pretending to drink watered down apple juice instead of wine, and passing other drinks to my husband. It’s was quite fun being sneaky 😂😂 but quite stressful too!

Ncl31 · 27/12/2022 09:25

@santastolemycat thats brilliant. I
hope it continues well for you.
It’s typical that AF arrived over bank holiday for me which meant I was unable to ring and book my HSG. I’ll have to wait for next cycle for that I guess. This is the first time I’ve had 2 cycles which abbé been relatively consistent so I’m hoping everything is starting to settle down for me and I can get my BFP soon. We’re meant to be going to Orlando with my parents in September- they even got us US dollars for Christmas. But it would be amazing to tell them we have to delay the trip.

@Ncl31 on to the next cycle! Glad finally you can get your doctor's appointment.
I'm also out, just got back from holiday. Onwards and upwards

santastolemycat · 27/12/2022 10:49

Hopefully youll need to postpone it!
But just know I went to orlando at 17 weeks pregnant and had and still had a great time.
I knew what rides were sedate enough as we had been before so I just did those. Didn’t want to totally miss out on all the fun

Ncl31 · 27/12/2022 18:13

@PeacefulD sorry to hear you’re out too… next cycle it is for us both. Fingers crossed.

@santastolemycat there’s a family history of DVT and I wouldn’t be comfortable being on a long haul flight with an increased risk. Also, I’m such an adrenaline junky it would really upset me not being able to go on everything. OH has never been before so want to experience it all with him.
it’s okay though. It will all be there for years, mum doesn’t do rides and last time we went when my niece was 18 months she was more than happy pushing her around and taking her in the splash zones so more than sure she’d happily do the same again.

How’s everyone doing? Has anyone had a BFP this month? How many dpo is everyone/where are you in your cycle? X

Ncl31 · 10/01/2023 20:34

CD16 4DPO according to clear blue digital ovulation tests.
OH has been super stressed with work and his semen analysis so we only managed to DTD once on peak day and once the day after ovulation, so I’m not holding out for this month and just relaxing then hopefully back on it next month.
how are you @CZ9294 ?

OP posts:
CZ9294 · 10/01/2023 21:03

@Ncl31 dtd-ing on ovulation and the day after still stands you in with a good chance! Hopefully!

We managed five days before, two days before and the day of ovulation I think.

I’m 8dpo today but not sure when to expect af as my cycles are varying from 25-32 days at the moment!

I had some cramping last night and this morning so kind of bracing myself for af…

hope your oh manages to unwind from work and best of luck for the analysis results xx

Ncl31 · 10/01/2023 21:14

@CZ9294 im pretty much the same as you with cycles lengths at the moment, however mine have sometimes been as long as 39 days.
im hoping it’s enough but if not then onwards to next cycle.

OP posts:
PeacefulD · 11/01/2023 20:07

@CZ9294 does cramping mean higher chance of af? I thought it could be implantation

I'm dpo6 so still early days

CZ9294 · 11/01/2023 20:57

@PeacefulD implantation can cause cramping! I’m just a pessimist 🤣

PeacefulD · 11/01/2023 21:59

@CZ9294 when you least expect it, it will happen! I'm an eternal optimist 😉

Yolo23 · 11/01/2023 23:13

Heeey ladies! Can I join on the convo…
I am 3/4 DPO - we’ve DTD the day of and day before (perhaps - as may be a day out). This worked for us in Nov but it ended in chemical 😩 praying this time we have some joy. 3 years in total TTC with no hope until now.

wishing you both the best of luck ✨

PeacefulD · 14/01/2023 21:50

Negative this cycle, a bit disappointed. Tested early at dpo10 but with my first dpo11 it was v strong BFP. On to the next cycle, at least can have a nice glass of wine tonight

Ncl31 · 14/01/2023 21:58

@PeacefulD dont count yourself out until AF is here.
you just don’t know, 8dpo for me this cycle, AF due next Sunday 22/1. Holding out to test until then if I can, but I’ve just ordered some Frer ready, just got to not open them….

CZ9294 · 15/01/2023 07:48

Update ladies, af arrived for me yesterday 14/01/23.

i hope everyone is okay.

@Yolo23 sorry to hear about your CP. I’ve been there and it’s so upsetting when you’ve been TTC for so long. I TTC’d for 16 months for my first and I’m now on 7 months of TTC for my second xx

@CZ9294 thank you! Fingers crossed your 2nd hurries on up 😊 alongside my first! We’re busy trying to wedding plan for next year but this journey is crazy hard to navigate and work out what situation we’ll be in - nothing is ever easy is it 😂😩

PeacefulD · 04/02/2023 22:03

@Ncl31 @CZ9294 how's everything going?
It's dpo4 for me cycle 3 🤞

Ncl31 · 05/02/2023 08:19

I’m CD 6 today.
Im in a quandary of what to do right now.
we have had our preliminary tests done with fertility and have our follow up appointment on 15th.
We get married on 8th July this year and I have just bought my wedding dress - which will not allow a baby bump.
We also go to Florida in September - which I’m not fussed about as that can easily be moved.
Although I really want a BFP now I have my dress I hope I don’t get it until after the wedding.

PeacefulD · 05/02/2023 20:23

@Ncl31 hi! I didn't start showing until month 5, but yes I did gain weight from the snacking to reduce nausea, but only maybe 2-3 kg. But it is probably a good opportunity to slow down and not put too much pressure and if it does happen, you might change the dress or get another?

Hope it goes ok on 15th, fingers crossed all shows up normal and it's nothing serious!

Ncl31 · 06/02/2023 07:15

That’s what we thought. I’m going to stop tracking everything and trying to time everything etc…. I’m away with work in my next fertile window anyway - or when it should be so I’m not worried.
It will be typical that if I take my foot off the pedal and stop worrying about it all it will happen.
We had a proper chat about it yesterday and my OH said he hates seeing me stressed and upset every month and wants me to enjoy the build up to the wedding etc…. So we’ve decided to stop actively trying - just not actively avoiding either haha.
