TWW Cycle buddies AF due around 20/01

[TTC0123]

Anyone fancy keeping me company (sane 😅) during this dreaded TWW on our 5th cycle of TTC baby #2 after falling quick with our first I thought this would be easier! Feel free to give all symptoms and feelings etc! I’ve just purchased a BBT thermometer so starting that in the morning! By checking my cervix (feels slightly lower and firmer) and CM drying up slightly thinking the worst for this month already 😢

Omg!? How many dpo are you today??
it’s there alright!!!!! Especially for it to not be with fmu!
One in the morning will definitely be a decider right?? I’ll upload mine for you which was 9dpo with my daughter
reallt hope this is it for you 🥹🫶🏽

@TTC0123 11dpo today! I’ll either test again in the morning or give it a couple days & see what happens then.

Thank you so much. Now I need to decide whether to tell DH when he gets in from work because I said I’d not test until he was home one morning!

Hahaha sounds like what would happen in our household I’m SO impatient!
I’m sure he will forgive you 😜

keep us all updated and good luck!!!

@Banditrules 🥳🥳🥳🥳 defo a BFP! Everything crossed for you!

@TTC0123 Yeah I’ll tell him when he gets in, as if I could keep quiet about it!

@ttcat37 thank you so much!

I’ve just done a internet cheapie test coz I couldn’t help myself & that’s coming up with a faint line too, I probably couldn’t get a picture of it but they’re not as sensitive as FRER & it’s definitely there so that’s promising, here’s hoping it sticks!

Good luck to you both this month, hopefully this one is a lucky thread!

Wow that’s exciting @Banditrules , congratulations, hope all sticky for you!!

Any idea what’s causing these wacky BBTs?? I thought they were meant to be a line not a bleddy zig zag 😂

Could it be implantation dip 👀🤞🏽 As your temp now is very high!!! Do you take them at the same time in the morning as I know it’s inaccurate if you don’t! Also a bad nights sleep causes high temps too! Have you done any tests yet? Or fighting the urge? Xx

@TTC0123 I thought it was a bit early for an implantation dip? I have an achey feeling in my tum like I usually do a few days before AF (due on tuesday) so presumed it was on its way.
Did a test and it was a stark white!
My waking times are irregular as I work shifts but last 3 days I’ve taken it between 6 and 6.15 every day and they range massively.

Sorry silly me I didn’t look at the days past ovulation (been a long day 😅) hmmm I’m out of ideas then!! Mine fluctuates too if that helps you feel more normal up and down every day but I’ve only been doing it since Monday so I don’t have much to compare 😂! Time shall tell!

Hi, never posted before but can I join the chat? I'm on first try for #2.
I'm about 7dpo with no particular symptoms apart from being so tired and extremely sore boobs - much more than normal. AF only due around 21st/ 22nd.
Can't see it happening this month yet for me but hopefully some of you will get BFP's

Of Course! The more the merrier, I’m 8dpo today and the same as you no symptoms at all, CM pretty much dry which is normally what happens before AF so onto the next cycle I think. Still positive for you with the tiredness and sore boobs that’s good signs! Keep us up to date with anything else that props up we’re all ears 🥰

I did a strip test this morning, I think this is an indent as I can only see it at this angle! I’ve logged it as a negative as it’s grey and can’t see anything if I put the test flat. Still got those pre AF tummy aches, still got a really high bbt…

@ttcat37 how many dpo are you now? The symptoms you’ve said sound promising!

I’m 14dpo now, AF due tomorrow. I went a bit nuts & did 4 IC tests & one CB but not the early one, all have faint positives but not much progression really so I’m holding out til Monday if AF doesn’t arrive before I test again. I have found though that I get a stronger line when I use SMU or even early afternoon as opposed to FMU.

How’s everyone feeling? TWW dragging?

Also did anyone think this was easier first time round? I’m sure I didn’t spend ages googling ‘7dpo symptoms’ and I don’t think I was aware that early tests were a thing so I just tested the morning I was due AF. If this month isn’t the month for us, if it’s a CP or false positive or whatever, I’m getting rid of all tests & not buying any until AF is due again to take away the temptation 😅

@Banditrules I’m 9dpo today. The tummy ache is one I usually get pre AF, the temps I don’t know as this is my first month charting. I’ve attached my chart with today’s temp on, I’m interested to see where it goes tomorrow as if it goes up it might look a bit triphasic.

Everything crossed for you that you get some line progression to put your mind at rest a bit!

@ttcat37 so so hard to say isn’t it! What miu are those strip tests? All depends on when implantation was! Could have been today! What’s your BBT today? I can see yesterdays at 36.9ish!! That’s higher than I’ve ever had, mine today was 36.67 which is my record high but no counting my chickens at 8dpo!

@Banditrules
fingers crossed for your progressive line on Monday, we’re all rooting for you! Interesting about the SMU over FMU!
Feeling utter shit today if I’m honest 😅 raining again and DH at work doesn’t help but yeah this 2WW is not a good one for me mentally I guess it’s understandably going to get worse each cycle that goes by but always new things to try I’ve ordered conceive plus lube for next cycle 🤞🏽

you sound like me googling 5dpo 6dpo 7dpo symptoms every single day 😂 definitely didn’t do this last time! I’m not testing at all this month as last month broke me so I shall be waiting for AF.. or not 🤞🏽

@TTC0123 today it was 36.84 so not much lower than yesterday. Here’s my chart.
36.67 is high! Have you had any dips yet?

I’m also doing stupid googling which I’ve never done in my first 2 pregnancies, I definitely never appreciated how lucky I was for it to just happen easily. My bbt chart is looking good at 8/9dpo today with a dip a couple of days ago and still rising. But last night was a terrible sleep and I’m not feeling too well so I’m not holding too much by it. Some frers arrived this morning but I’m going to hold off another couple of days. Fingers crossed for those of you with possibles, and everyone else, be kind to yourselves it’s ok to be a bit crazy about something you care a lot about…

thats really high yeah!! Intrigued for tomorrows! Yes a slight dip yesterday went down from 36.65 Thursday to 36.59 yesterday then 36.67 today, still getting to grips with it all 😅

I don’t think anyone does until they are then TTC do they! I took it for granted so much thought this would be a piece of piss 😅
Fingers crossed for your BBT to be even higher tomorrow ☺️🤞🏽And update us with your FRER results! Thanks for the positivity much appreciated over here!!

@TTC0123 hope your day turned out ok! I was out with my DM this afternoon so that took my mind off things a bit. Both yours & @ttcat37 temps look good! I can see why they say to get a proper thermometer, mine only measures to one decimal place so if I went from 36.69 to 36.61 or something I’d never know.

@Beginningless glad your temps are looking good so far too! Sorry you’re not feeling too well. I’ve just seen off a cold & now I’ve got another one back, it’s constant!

I ordered some more FRER which arrived today & couldn’t help myself when I got home, I think it’s pretty definitive!

Oooh huge congratulations @Banditrules ! What a nice strong line. How many dpo are you? Remind us is this your second?

@Beginningless thank you! I’m 14dpo, had faint lines consistently since 11dpo so thankfully some progression!

Yes it is, I’ve got a 2 year old already😊
