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 😀

@apples24 @MrsL22 you're not out until AF arrives. I know plenty of people who have got pregnant and didn't have any symptoms - just a missed period! I've got the odd twinge/cramp but not sure if my brain is playing games or if it's AF. Currently CD81 so not sure if it's even possible.

@Hopefulx yeah that sounds like a good idea - I don't want to miss out on opportunities and not get pregnant either! I did start tracking BBT but it was mid cycle and I caught a horrible flu so thought I would just wait for a fresh cycle (81 days later 🙄). Feel like it's too late to start now! How do you know what is classed as high/low? Or is it different for anyone else?

I've also been taking conceive plus vitamins and this is the first time I have ever had ovulation pain! Is anyone taking anything else?

@AROSE9 it’s hard to plan holidays etc in advance but I’d say go for it as you don’t want to be disappointed not booking a holiday and also takes longer to conceive. And at least your have a beautiful holiday to look forward to 🥰

everyone’s bbt is slightly different but generally it should be above 36.40 if you have ovulated and progesterone kicks in. I’ve read online it peaks at 7 DPO and starts to decline ready for AF, but if conceived it stays high. Mine has already started to come down, I’m currently 36.60 this morning, there is still hope but I’m starting to lose faith for this cycle 😩 I wish we could just know on DPO 1 so then we can get on with life rather than waiting 2 two weeks to then be let down. But let’s wait and see 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

I am also taking conceive plus - I think ovulation pain is a good sign, I had this in September and conceived but had a Mc at 6 weeks. Sending you positive vibes ❤️

@AROSE9 also have you got pcos, thought I’d check as I noticed your cycles are longer? x

@Hopefulx so sorry to hear about your MC. I hope you get your positive soon 💕 I don't have PCOS according to my bloods, but booked in for a scan just to be sure. I came off my pill in August so hoping it's just my body adjusting. I've seen some stories of people conceiving on longer cycles so hoping that's the case.

BBT is so confusing to me, but hopefully yours will pick up again. How are you feeling? Any symptoms?

@AROSE9 that’s true! 9dpo and BFN on IC this morning! Trying to think positive and think well I may not have even implanted yet 🤞🏼

Hi all! I’m in my first TWW too. I normally temp religiously but it was a chaotic few days - I got a positive OPK on the 30th - but as I didn’t temp 31st or 1st I’m not actually sure when (if?) I ovulated. We only DTD on the 30th and 31st so potentially only one time in my fertile window. Feel silly thinking there’s even a chance I’d get pregnant first cycle under those circumstances and yet I can’t stop thinking about it! I’d really like to wait to see my periods late before testing but it’s hard to imagine managing that… I really didn’t want to get obsessed and yet here we are!!

@MrsL22 maybe just wait a few days to test again. I will be 8DPO on Friday and want to test then but I know it will be negative!

@CRbear welcome! I have only been trying since September and have irregular cycles so I know the feeling 🙈 I ovulated on 29th and only DTD on 28th and 29th - it only takes one!!! I don't BBT but think if this time is unsuccessful then I will.

It's sensible to wait until AF late but I just know I can't wait that long! It's nice to know there are others in the same position. Fingers crossed!

@CRbear its not silly, you’re in with a shot by the sounds of it.

I’m similar in that we only decided to go for it on cd16 and I wasn’t tracking anything, so I don’t know if we totally missed it this month or am in with a shot. I think I was getting ewcm around then but some months I get loads and I definitely didn’t this month but had been sick with this rotten lurgy so I doubt my body was it’s usual self and I wouldn’t be surprised if I didn’t even ovulate this month due to the sickness and other stresses. I swing between excitement that we’re actually officially trying for #2 and dread at the idea of waiting months and months or even years (#1 was an oops baby so no trying involved).

@AROSE9 thank you lovely. Ah that makes sense about the longer cycles and coming off the pill. It can take our bodies so long to flush the pill out.

No symptoms at all for me, but I think that’s normal before implantation. There is that hope that implantation hasn’t happened yet and we will all start to feel something soon haha!

has anyone else had any symptoms?

do you all find yourself constantly googling - “7 DPO what symptoms should I have” 😂 I am constantly on google and on here, we do have to laugh!

Heyy.
Ive been having light cramps today, more like twinges on left and right hand side. The side of my right boob is also painful to touch, near my armpit.. strange... i just feel like im symptom spotting though! AF due in 5 days and i had a negative test today at 9dpo..

Baby dust to you all!

@Hopefulx 😂 this is me everyday! ‘What to expect 7/8/9dpo symptoms’. I’m reality I don’t have any. Some of my food has been tasting a bit funny and I’ve had a few twinges/cramps but other than that I don’t think I’m pregnant at all. Like @AROSE9 said, not everyone gets symptoms! And definitely not so early - not out until AF shows. 10dpo tomorrow so going to take an FRER and hope 🤞🏼

@Hopefulx yes that's me! Every day I look up what symptoms I should have and if it's still too early to test 🙈 I've never really had sore boobs (even during AF) so keep convincing myself if I feel that then I'll know - it's silly I know! I also know implantation can happen from 6DPO and that's tomorrow for me so I think I'll be convincing myself of this..

@30mummy it all sounds positive to me! 9DPO May just be too early to rest so keep an eye out over the next few days... fingers crossed for you!

Thank you @AROSE9 the wait is just awful.. im just going to try and chill out abit now! Hope you get your bfp soon x

@30mummy such a small percentage of women get bfp on 9DPO - it’s pretty rare. Your definitely are still in with a chance 🤞🏽☺️

@MrsL22 good luck with your test today. Let us know how you get on. I was reading a blog and the majority of women don’t get symptoms until after missed AF so there is still hope for us all.

@AROSE9 😂😂😂 I don’t really get sore boobs either. My boobs swell after ovulation and then they start to deflate a day or two before AF. Does anyone else get that? I have got that on non pregnant cycles. Implantation on CD 6 is only 0.5% of women, so if you don’t feel anything there is still hope ☺️

Implantation on 6DPO

@Hopefulx I took a FRER this morning - 10dpo and was negative, think I am going to try and wait until Sunday (AF due date)! I need will power haha!

@30mummy ah sorry to hear it was neg. That sounds like a good idea! Keep us posted, sending you lots of baby dust ✨

Here’s a useful link which tells you the % of a bfp depending how many days DPO you are..

@Hopefulx 🤣 I never get anything really - sometimes they feel slightly heavier but nothing noticeable really. No symptoms at all today and starting to feel like it's not happened. Only 6DPO though but just have this gut feeling..

@30mummy sorry to hear about your BFN. There's still hope though! I wish I could wait until AF, I want to test already but just know it will be negative!

@Hopefulx @AROSE9 I haven't really had any symptoms today, just my right boob that is sore to touch again. Must of pulled a muscle or something haha! I will update you! @AROSE9 you're only 6dpo so you have loads of time, just try and not get to stressed with the testing (Like i have done this cycle) So easy to say to other people 😂

Also 10dpo and BFN here 🤞🏼 Hopeful as it’s still early but will test again on Friday.

@30mummy i ordered some FRER that were due to come Friday and have come early...feel like they just want to torture me 😂

@MrsL22 sorry to hear about your BFN, although you're not out till AF arrives!

I have a headache but it is my first day back at work which makes more sense 🙈

@AROSE9 I get the same most months and then some months they really hurt. They always ease up on swelling or pain the day before my period arrives though so I see that as a sign. This month I wouldn’t say they’re hurting, my nips seem a bit tingly today but I don’t know if I’m imagining it.

I got a load of ewcm today which I sometimes get in the lead up to AF, usually a few days before so I reckon it’s going to turn up Friday tbh as I just don’t feel pregnant.

implantation on cd6 isn’t a definite. I did implant on cd6 before I’m sure as I had a really upset stomach and was up several times in the night then felt rough for a few days after. I wasn’t trying and so chalked it up to being unwell but in retrospect saw what it was. Makes me think I’m definitely out this month as I haven’t had that again.

@PrimarilyParented the TTW really is torture isn't it! Keep us updated on Friday how it goes, it would be nice to keep this thread going to see all the BFP's.

I took myself out earlier with friends to keep me distracted and my headache hasn't gone - I also feel a little sick now but not sure if that's just me being symptom crazy at this point!!

Unsure whether to test Friday (8DPO) or wait longer.. what's everyone's thoughts?

@AROSE9 8dpo is still pretty early to test I reckon, but if you have lots of cheapies then it doesn’t do any harm I suppose.

I’m trying to hold out until period is actually late. I didn’t test until cd39 before (as I wasn’t trying and was sure I wasn’t pregnant) so about 16dpo and I got a blazing positive then. I think if I test early even if it is positive, if it’s faint I’ll panic about CP.
