TWW Buddies..

[cdn298]

Hi,

Currently trying for DC 2, already have a 2 year old DS.

I should have ovulated today 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Anyone else entering the TWW? Due AF 7th Jan but will probably end up testing a couple days before 😄

@MrsL22 That’s why I really needed this month to work… next chances are half-term and the Easter hols 😂🤦‍♀️

@MrsL22 @Downtherabbithole83 teacher here too, secondary science in Bedfordshire.

The stress levels on this chat must be sky high, even after a short first week back 😂

@Downtherabbithole83 😂😂😂😂 now I get it!

@DancingNancies ahhhh no way! Maybe that’s why this thread works so well 😂 we are in tune

@Downtherabbithole83 also maternity leave would work out beautifully with a september baby...back to work in July (I have 2 August babies so am well versed in well-timed mat leave!)

I was in a group on here when I was pregnant with DS. We then went on to a fb group, there was about 50 of us. Then 20 of us went on to a WhatsApp group and we still speak everyday! I absolutely love it x

@MrsL22 and @DancingNancies what are the chances?!??

Just to add to the coincidences… Maths is my main subject! That’s why I love the Premom app so much… graphs!!!

@cdn298 wow that’s a big group! I love that. Women supporting women it’s what I love to see!

@DancingNancies exactly my thinking!! Would have been perfect but definitely think I’m out this month. I guess an October baby wouldn’t be too bad… back in time for Summer 😂

@Downtherabbithole83 thats so funny! Maybe it’s our downfall because maths means monitoring and measuring and graphing and maybe that’s what we need to stop doing 😂🙈

But I LOVE my LH graph possibly more than I love POAS… I don’t think I can give it up anytime soon! 🤦‍♀️

October would work because they won’t give you much to do in September just to rearrange it a few weeks later… in a primary school you wouldn’t get a class: winner! 😂

@Downtherabbithole83 exactly!
so you temp? I’ve just been checking LH but hear so many people mention temping as a good indicator?

@Downtherabbithole83 meant to say ‘do you temp?’
or monitor bbt

@MrsL22 I haven’t gone down that road yet… saving it for later 😂 It would improve my graph though 🤔

Seriously though, I believe that if you are up and down during the night then it affects it and between my children and my need to pee every night I’m not sure my data would be very reliable!

I work in operating theatres. Not quite a teacher, but I do feel very in synch with everyone!

The two positives were early on Alysskea and LAgedRaisin... They seem to have dropped off the chat.

I was looking at my Flo app from when I got pregnant with DD. I tested around my due date (although cycles varied from 28-33 days) I tested at CD 30 and nothing. Got a BFP on CD 35. I wasn't tracking ovulation that month, but let's say CD 30 was 12 dpo, I got my BFP at around 17dpo!!! So there's still hope for everyone, as long as AF hasn't yet arrived!

Unfortunately that month was the only one that I didn't track ovulation or symptoms. I had just had my COVID vaccine and there was a lot of talk about early miscarriage following the vaccine, so I gave myself a month off trying... Really wasn't expecting to fall pregnant at all! 😂 I wish I had tracked symptoms and tested more, so that this time around I know what I'm looking for!

@Downtherabbithole83 I’ve not looked into it much but it’s also next on my to do list 😂🙈

That’s exciting @Pitstop1986 - I wonder if you’ll be the same this time? 🤞

@MrsL22 I temped for a couple of months TTC DD but with me having to get up early for shifts at the hospital, I think it threw everything out a little bit so I couldn't plot a decent graph and it all got a bit too stressful!

In the end we monitored CM and DTD as much as I could in the fertile window that the Flo app suggested, plus just before and after, to cover our bases.

Just told DH about today's negative test. He's now all on board for POAS sessions until AF shows up! Got to love the support!

@Pitstop1986 im also an early riser for work so perhaps it’s not worth the extra stress for me.
It’s definitely reassuring to hear you had a late BFP with DD but it’s typical as all I ever get told is ‘well we got pregnant as soon as we stopped trying’. Not helpful 😂🙈

YESSSSSS DH. Love this 🙌🏼

@MrsL22 @DancingNancies @Downtherabbithole83 I also work in education, as a uni lecturer for initial teacher training! It makes sense we’re all planning our September babies!
I’m on cd1 this morning, can we carry this chat on for more luck in the next cycle?

HELLO AF 🔴😭
Back to CD1

@T4Opal This chat will continue don’t worry!!!

I think I may try and take some pressure off this month and delete the apps and the tracking and stop the OPKs and instead just go with the flow?

AF here for me too! We are obviously synced @MrsL22

@Downtherabbithole83 what are the chances! Just light spotting for now but I know that will just turn into a full period 👎🏼

on to cycle #5 🤞🏼

@Downtherabbithole83 @MrsL22 sorry to hear AF has arrived, better luck for next month!

Still nothing here, no tests left either but honestly the last couple back been a disappointment so I'm not exactly enthused to buy any more to see a BFN! Just wishing AF would stop faffing around and come now so I can crack on with next month and enjoy a glass of wine with my dinner tonight!

Good morning @Downtherabbithole83 and @MrsL22 can I join CD1 club with you?

AF arrived this morning (after all the worrying and symptom spotting I've been doing the last few days!)

DH is disappointed we didn't get to do a Pg test this morning. He was looking forward to it! I wonder if partners can get just as addicted to the tests as us?!

Baby dust for everyone in their new cycle! 💕
