TWW - anyone??

[AROSE9]

Hi - I have just had my positive OPK & CB digital ovulation and expecting ovulation in the next few days. Weirdly I had stopped tracking for a while due to irregular cycles and just had an urge to test today!

DTD today and plan to for the next few days (sorry tmi!) but wondered if anyone else is on the TWW - it would be nice to have talk and share our experiences 😀

Positive OPK for me yesterday and some ovulation cramps today.

Hopefully DTD today, we did manage yesterday.

TTC #2, first one is almost 4.

@apples24 fingers crossed for you!

We are TTC #1 so all of this is new to me. I think I may be having ovulation cramps but I have never had them before - they feel similar to period ones but sharper like trapped wind (sorry TMI 😂) not sure if that is right?

@AROSE9 yep, I think that's about right. :) My cramps can actually be quite bad and end up even upsetting my stomach - so we didn't even manage to DTD yesterday as I was just not feeling it.😞But there will be other cycles, trying not to stress too much just now.

Good luck for your wait!

I had positive opk 23rd/24th so predidicting ovulation 24th/25th. 4/5dpo TTC#1.

TWW is already killing me 🤣

TWW really is the worst.

I had thought I wouldn't get too bothered or anxious when TTC #2 but am basically just as obsessed as I was with #1... Which took 7 months.

@apples24 we can do this 💪🏼
We have been TTC for 4 months and had a chemical pregnancy in that time. Just trying to stay hopeful.
When do you think you will test?

@MrsL22 I have cheapie sticks so will probably test on the 9th of Jan or so. I'm trying to resist the urge to buy FRERs, last time I think they gave me a BFP on 9 or 10 dpo.

@apples24 i have one frer plus other early detection tests from other brand. May start testing on Monday 8dpo

@apples24 yes there is definitely more cycles - I have irregular cycles (currently CD76) so not getting my hopes up. Another positive OPK but not as strong as yesterday but DTD - fingers crossed! I've just ordered some cheap easy @home pregnancy tests so not sure when to start testing.

@CLowers fingers crossed for you! Keep us updated!! I think I ovulated yesterday/today but can never be 100% sure which is annoying.

@MrsL22 which tests do you use? Fingers crossed for you and keep us updated!

@AROSE9 I have one frer but then also have some clear blue early detection. Spend a fortune on tests 🙈
I’m really going to try and hold out until Wednesday but I know by Monday ill be itching to test

Hey ladies can I join?

I am currently 3/4 DPO depending which app I look at. Enjoyed BD over the Christmas period :D

This is the first month I’ve ovulated after a Mc in September. Confirmed via ultrasound and progesterone test (although my progesterone level confirms ovulation it’s still at the lower end) which doesn’t give me much hope but let’s stay positive!

When will you ladies take a test? I think I’ll start at 10DPO, next Friday as our drinking that night so would be good to know before!

Sending you all lots of baby dust 🧚🏽‍♀️✨

@Hopefulx good luck! I'm just trying to figure out how to avoid drinking on NYE, though would be before implantation anyway (on the really low chance we were successful this cycle...)

@AROSE9 sorry to hear how irregular your cycles are. You must have patience of a saint X

@Hopefulx welcome! The more the merrier!

My plan is to rest around 10 DPO but I am unsure when to count DPO - do you go from the first positive OPK or a few days later? I got my "peak" on the 28th so not sure if I am currently 2DPO if that makes sense?

@apples24 it's so frustrating but I am just hoping it is my hormones catching up from years on the pill and nothing else!

Hello,

I hope you dont mind me joining, i think i am around 8dpo, i didnt track my ovulation but i had EWCM for 2 days and then it stopped that was around CD12.

I had a very sharp stabbing pain yesterday (7DPO) lasted about 20 seconds, then just a few tingles. Last night and today it feels like my right hip has a heartbeat of its own, on and off.

I checked my cervix and still feels high.. sorry TMI but ive attached pictures.. i am trying for my first so im not to sure if this is anything..

Dont really want to test as still early, AF is due in 6 days!

@AROSE9 hey lovely, most people ovulate 12-36hours after your first positive opk so count it from the day after. When is 10 DPO for you? Good luck!

@30mummy hey hun! You have some good signs! How do you check your cervix? I might try that too - what would be high? I have clear cm like the fertile period (currently 6 DPO) but I read online that can happen as estrogen rises mid luteal phase - all this guess work 😂 good luck!

@Hopefulx i was reading online regarding feeling your cervix but it has very mixed reviews. Basically if you can feel it with half of your finger its low and a full finger is high (strange but i thought i would give it a try). Not sure how true it is!

Im now getting a burning feeling in my lower abdomen but twinges on the right side too.. im due in 6 days!

@Hopefulx ooo thank you for that! According to my app 10DPO is on Sunday - feels like I'm going to be waiting forever! When is it for you?

@30mummy welcome! That all sounds positive and fingers crossed for you! When will you test? Keep us updated 😄

I keep feeling like I have little cramps but think I may just be convincing myself they're there. Only 4DPO.

@AROSE9 im not to sure when to test, im just nervous! The burning has gone now! It wasnt really burning but it was a warm sensation.. i just feel like AF is coming.. this tww is awful haha. When will you be testing? I will definitely keep in touch x

@AROSE9 it drags so much doesn’t it. I will be 10 DPO on Saturday, will probably hold out until 12 DPO if I can. At least it’s a short week at work so it should go quicker!

@30mummy thank you for that I’ll look into it. Having twinges is positive! Sounds like something is going on.

I want a twinge 😂 but I haven’t had any signs at all so just trying not to think about it too much. Good luck everyone ❤️

@Hopefulx yes I hope so! Wish I could stick it out that long - I want to test now 🤣

We haven't told anyone we are TTC and our friends want us to book a holiday in July this weekend. I don't want to go on holiday if I will be in the last trimester but then don't want to miss out on a holiday if I don't get pregnant by then anyway! So, not sure what will happen this weekend...

@Hopefulx no signs yet doesn't mean you're out! I know lots of people who had no symptoms and just a missed AF!

I'm 5 DPO now. Had BFP with my first at 10 DPO. Hoping to hold off till 9th or 10th till I test. I think though I'm out for this cycle as our timing wasn't great.

8dpo with little to no symptoms and really starting to feel like I might be out this month 😢

@AROSE9 ah it’s so hard knowing what to do. Could you book a room on booking.com where it’s reserve now and pay on arrival? That way you could still book it but cancel it if you do get pregnant.

A few months ago, I didn’t make any plans or book any holidays as I was always hoping I would be pregnant but it never happened and it got me really down. So I think it’s good to keep busy and do what you love and hopefully your pregnancy will slot into your everyday life!

I’m also 7/8 DPO and think I’m out. My bbt has started to decline so I think I’m out this month.. does anyone else track bbt? And if so, how is it looking?
