TWW thread around 27/02/23

[TTCing]

Hi ladies,

who wants to join for the tww? I had peak fertility on 25/02/23. So I think I may have ovulated 26/02/23.

now in the tww.

who wants to join?

I’m TTC#2, month 8 of TTC this time. 16 months TTC #1.

I can’t say I’m feeling particularly hopeful. I’m used to the disappointment (again), sadly.

@Freya8

@Floralsandsmiles we are totally same even right down to the smiley! Id say 6dpo on symptoms should crank up surely? See i swore i just knew with my dc 1! This time i am swaying from mmmmm did we cover enough durin the fertile week to the other extreme of yes i am an positive thinking almost! N like i jus feel like as i get older the risk of basically everythin increases so this tww is literally only a small part of my worries lolll

I am hoping so yes! Or hoping to see some changes that make me certain I'm pregnant!! I'm also overthinking everything!! 🙃 xxx

[Floralsandsmiles]

@Floralsandsmiles

@Freya8 you're like my cycle twin in every way! Lol
So I have cramps on and off and cm is creamier too. Bloating is a joke and I did the washing machine thing too, I feel like I can't bend down lol
I'm not getting any boob twitches though 😕 it's 5DPO and this wait us annoying! Lol xxx

@Freya8 totally forgot to mention another vivid dream last night! It was nuts! Lol and also heart burn and acid reflux, it's annoying me so much! Lol xxx

@Janeykat and @Peaceandloves I think you're roughly on the same DPO as me. How are you doing today?

Starting to get tender boobs which is always a PMS for me but I have been getting stabbing pains in my lower abdomen for the past 24 hours. I have actually pulled my groin on the same side (😅) so it could just be that pain traveling and me reading too much into every symptom - as per!

When are people thinking of testing? I'm thankfully going to visit family tomorrow for several days so that will keep my mind busy

[Peaceandloves]

Hi @TTC53 and @Janeykat I'm 9dpo today and absolutely zero symptoms. I'm so impatient I will probs test for a few days starting tomorrow as my cycle is short and I'm expecting AF thurs or Fri. I'm not holding out much hope as when I fell pregnant with my son I had implantation bleeding and felt so much different. How far are you into your cycles? Any signs? X

[Janeykat]

@TTC53 and @Peaceandloves I am 9dpo today, I dont really have many symptoms...I have a sore back and tender boobs but I think those might just be PMS symptoms that I dont usually notice :( Last month when I had the chemical and also when I was pregnant with my son I felt so different that I just knew I was pregnant before I even took a test...although I checked my app and only really got sore boobs 10dpo and nausea from 12 dpo last cycle so it could still appear🤞

I will try hold out until Thursday to take a test, period due on Saturday.

[TTC53]

Also 9dpo @Janeykat and @Peaceandloves although based on my temp shift I'd say I'm more 8 dpo but who knows. My symptoms are the same as every month at the moment, fatigue and sore boobs. So not feeling overly hopeful but still plenty of time for us all yet.

@Peaceandloves keeping my fingers crossed for the start of your testing tomorrow. Keep us updated

[LittleMiss2023]

Hi everyone.

Im 9DPO today and I know I shouldn’t have, but I took a test yesterday and very negative!

Funny how when you’re looking out for it, you notice every single difference in your body. Did I just feel sick? No you’re probably hungry. Did I just feel a cramp? No you probably need to go to the loo. 😂

I’ll try and hold out until at least 11DPO i think - however, although my brother will be staying from out of town so not sure how I’ll handle myself with either outcome 😂

[Piglet34]

@Freya8 that's a good idea to jot symptoms down so you know for future. I'm pretty sure all the things I'm feeling now I have felt before 😅 main thing is random twinges/pulling in my tummy on one side - maybe this happens every month and I'm only just noticing it now haha

@LittleMiss2023 sorry to hear your test was negative although like you say 9dpo super early to test and not many would get BFP then. Fingers crossed for you in a few days time ☺️

5dpo now and going to try hold out until 10/11dpo to test. I get so scared to test as if it's BFN then my hope just goes.

[Freya8]

5 dpo ladies and im dosed but like no runny nose jus dosed an throats raw! If thats a legit symptom what a shitty symptom that is!!! Feel like poop

@Piglet34 yes jot everything down and sure if we get our bfps we can be like seeeeee told ya we had symptoms. N if negative we can be like right ok this is normal lol

[Janeykat]

10 dpo today and I did what I said I wouldnt do and tested...BFN :( I feel like Im out for this month

[Freya8]

@Janeykat awh 10 dpo is still early! Your not out yet fingers crossed for you xxxx

[Bailem]

I've had strong cramping and backache, this being my second day, and when I went to the toilet this morning there was blood when I wiped but it was bright red, not pink/lighter than AF.
I feel really off, paracetamol not taking it off, I'm not due my AF until Monday and I'm normally like clockwork, could it be implantation? This feels like bad period pains and I don't remember anything like this with my DD.

This TWW really plays with your mind! Hope everyone else is ok X

Good morning @Freya8 ! I'm 6DPO and this morning I'm feeling waves of nausea to add to other symptoms (which I may or may not be overthinking and wishing leads to pregnancy).. no tender boobs though and I see that's the most common side effect, so maybe I'm making all the other symptoms up and I'm not pregnant! Xxx

[Peaceandloves]

Very stark negative test today for me at 10dpo. Still no symptoms and think I'm most definitely out this round :( fingers crossed for next month

[Freya8]

@Floralsandsmiles dont worry still early days and ive read a load scrolling these threads with various symptoms being listed. Im actually nervous laughing as what if im gearing myself up for let down here by listing mine. My heads ready to explode with this cold tho and im scared to take a lemsip!!!! Lolll

@Freya8 I think it's good we are doing a sort of brain dump each day on symptoms, means we are feeling crazy. I just hope all this symptoms spotting is for a reason.
Do all women get sore boots when pregnant? I don't remember with the first 13 years ago.. plus then I won't worry if that's a symptom I don't have... lol

You are OK to take lemsip! Paracetamol is OK and OK it has caffeine, but in small doses it's OK? Xxx

[Piglet34]

@Peaceandloves @Janeykat 10dpo is still very early so you're both not out yet! ☺️

@Floralsandsmiles I think symptoms can't technically start until after implantation anyway which is around 9dpo on average so definitely don't worry if you're not feeling loads at this stage!

@Freya8 yeah so true! If I do turn out to be pregnant I will telling DH, see I told you I felt weird 😅

Thanks @Piglet34. I didn't know this! I am feeling a fair few already, but not the sore boobs, I'm just not sure if everyone feels this symptom.. as I don't think I did with my 1st DC.. xxx

[Freya8]

@Freya8 yes I've been waking hot hot hot, but I always run on the high side of temperature, all year round. Lol
No boob issues or lightening crotch. Lol
I am the same though, my DH would kill me if he knew how in my head I was on all this lol so glad I can brain dump it all here lol xxx

[ddaisynner]

I really hope you all get your bfp soon 🙏
8dpo now had that faint pos on 6dpo but since negative. Sore boobs, nausea. Cooking cheese toasties last night honestly the smell put me right off 🤢 I honestly wish there was a quicker way to find out like a little flashy light straight away rather than the tedious wait of what ifs.

[Chip131]

Hi all, 7 days po, a few? Twinges and also feel like I can smell everything?! 😂😂 Probably all in my head....
Xxx

[Lilothblos]

@ddaisynner it’s still not too late, keep testing and fingers crossed!
@Floralsandsmiles sounds like good signs so far! After having weird cramping for days 1-5 DPO I now have no ‘symptoms’ (if you can even call them that this early) whatsoever. Really plays with your brain doesn’t it! My husband would be equally dismayed with me haha, I’ve been basically banned from speaking about it as it’s not helping either of us😂

[Lilothblos]

Should have added, I’m now 6dpo.

@Lilothblos awww, I feel you! I really do! Talk to us! We want to hear all about it!😊😊 I'm trying myself nuts with symptom spotting! Lol xxxx
