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 😄

That could be a good thing @Mrsrobinsonx I've heard a lot of women who don't have any symptoms just before AF was due to arrive that got a bfp.

Fingers crossed for you!

@Pitstop1986 thank you! Let’s hope 🤍
your symptoms seem to be positive too! 🤞🏻

Not positive for my waistline!😂

@Downtherabbithole83 they are so lovely to see!!! Can’t wait to finally get mine.

@Mrsrobinsonx I think I’ve made up symptoms in the past so this month I don’t know what’s actually real and what’s not 😂🙈 the sore nipples are 1000% real but god knows 🤷🏻‍♀️ maybe no news is good news for you and maybe I’ll be sorely disappointed after getting my hopes up and it just being PMS

@MrsL22 I’m the opposite, my nipples aren’t sore but my breast tissue is tender but has been since ovulation.
praying for you! When is test day?
Tmi but we have actually just dtd and after there was really light pink on the tissue so bit confused if AF is coming early, x

@Mrsrobinsonx I’m due on Wednesday I think. So hoping to hold out until weekend 🤞🏼

could the pink tinge be implantation?

@MrsL22 I’m due on Wednesday too but not sure I can make it past then 😆
It could be, right timing I guess. However I’m not hopeful as I had it last month! The doctor said I had a friable cervix but thinks it’s because I had a colposcopy in the 2ww last time so that irritated it. But we have dtd lots of times this month with nothing like that until now. 🤨 ttc is so confusing x

@Mrsrobinsonx It’s sooooo confusing!! I actually find it really painful and damaging - it sends me mental.

I’ve not slept properly for two nights having had the most vivid dreams and peeing all night. I’ve got a super stuffy head cold and I’ve woken up today feeling really out of sorts. Like a level of anxiety I have never experienced before. I just need a BFP or AF now 😥x

@MrsL22 , @Pitstop1986 and @Mrsrobinsonx I’m sorry you’re all having such a tricky tww - all of these symptoms sound really promising though. How many dpo are you all? I’m so impressed with your determination not to test - I failed miserably with that every month!!! I am so hoping you all get your BFPs this month.

@SimplyChic are you testing again after your possible line yesterday or waiting?

I’ve had a positive on a regular clearblue this morning (rather than an early detection one) so will now stop obsessively testing - though it was a double pack so will probably pee on the other one at some point - but my anxiety is now building big time. I am scared to run and dtd with my other half in case it affects anything at this early stage . I also don’t dare refer myself on anything in case it jinxes it which is so silly because I didn’t have any problems with it being sticky last time, it was only when we got to 12 weeks that we found out there was an issue… it’s so hard to enjoy this stage this time as we’re so worried about having the same outcome as we did in November.

@Downtherabbithole83 I’m now 9dpo so really struggling to not test. But how I’m feeling today I think I probably should just poas to get it over with.

@Downtherabbithole83 I haven't again yet as my app expects AF to be here today, so I'm giving her a chance to show up first. I really hope that I won't be left in limbo again this month 🥺 I'll probably test again no earlier than tomorrow or possibly later to give it more time as the spotting was only a few days ago late in the afternoon.

My boobs are still painful and I had a horrendous backache late last night. I had to use a hot water bottle!

@Downtherabbithole83 I am 11dpo today so starting to struggle with not testing, especially with my husband egging me
on 😂

@MrsL22 there is no harm in testing as long as you don’t get too knocked by a negative. At 9dpo I had nothing at all in the morning and only a shadow of a line outside the time frame in the evening. And I actually think that it was really 10dpo because of the timing of my peak… If a negative is going to really knock you then maybe wait? I just loved POAS so I did LH levels and kept an eye out for a rise.

@SimplyChic that sounds like a sensible approach to it all though you already sound like you have more symptoms than me. Mine was all the cramping but my boobs still feel normal and in my previous pregnancies they were my first clue.

@Mrsrobinsonx how long will you hold out?

I caved and tested this morning. Stark white bfn! Oh well, it is pretty early for me to be testing. I'm also noticing a lot more cm than normal, but this may be normal and I'm just reading too much into things...

@Downtherabbithole83 don't worry about missing a week or two of running, if it alleviates your anxiety, then it won't do any harm to slow down on the exercise front. Have a nice, gentle walk instead. It is looking really promising for you, if your hormones can be picked up on a regular test!

I'm also still eating like a horse. DH has just suggested getting my thyroid levels tested as I swing between over and underactive with my thyroid and my main symptom is hunger levels- I'm really hungry when overactive and forget to eat all day when I'm underactive. Last bloods a month ago came back as normal, but things could have changed

@Downtherabbithole83 well before I even saw your message I had caved… FRER and a very thin second line. Within the first minute I was like no there’s nothing. Then I shone a torch (madness because let’s face it that’s what we all do) and I was like hmmmmm. DH looked and said I can definitely see something. Now I can see it without the torch. It was my third or fourth wee of the day so far (can’t stop peeing for some reason) and it was so diluted despite me not having had a drink yet today.
Ao will test again tomorrow and see 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not sure if you can see it on a photo and it also looks more grey in that but it’s definitely pink.

I can see it (just) @MrsL22 - how exciting! You’ll be stronger than me if you now don’t POAS constantly for the next few days! Thank goodness for internet cheapies… 🤞

@MrsL22 i can see something!!
I actually caved too and think it’s negative. Maybe a shadow but will go with bfn for now x

Like I said it was so diluted so no idea. The IC was a clear BFN (I couldn’t accept that hence the frer). Will try again in a day or so. Or when I have stronger urine.

Definitely won’t be getting my hopes up. My last faint line turned into CP

@MrsL22 I see a line! Tentative congratulations!

I love how we all said we'd wait to test, then all caved, so today's been a mass poas event! Haha

@Pitstop1986 basically yeah 😂

if it weren’t for the fact that I’ve woken up feeling really woozy then I wouldn’t have tested. But I said to DH ‘something just feels off’

@Downtherabbithole83 When I had the spotting was the same day as my breast pain which usually indicated AF and especially now I still have it I'm surprised nothing further has occurred. I expected AF to appear full force from it.

I am surprised you have less symptoms. How far along are you do you think?

@SimplyChic I’m also surprised that I don’t have any symptoms. I do have a bit more cm than normal and I had 2 days of uncomfortable back pain around 9 & 10 dpo. But that’s it really! Possibly a couple of waves of nausea but that could be due to the extreme snot levels from my cold (sorry - tmi)

I’m either 13dpo or 14 dpo - officially four weeks today according to my last AF start date. I’m amazed at how much my line has progressed from the almost not there line on the early detection test on Thursday to the very clear line on a less sensitive test today.
