Come wait with me - May TWW

I can see lots of TWW threads for end of April but I thought I’d start one for any of us who are 1dpo in early May.

I’m 1dpo today. Fourth cycle of trying for second baby. Ovulation day came a week early for us this week, but we DTD 3 times in the fertile window so I’m hopeful.

I don’t remember getting any early symptoms with my last pregnancy.

I usually test waaaay too much. So get ready to see loads of iffy faint lines -ha!

What about you?

It could be called: Come Wait with me - May TWW Thread 2

CinderRosie · 16/05/2023 14:47

ooh I didn't mean italics, I wanted asterisks lol

Harriet669 · 16/05/2023 15:46

@fleur89 sorry to hear about the MMC 🤍

Hoping this is your cycle 🤞🏼
6DPO here too and feeling very tearful for the past few days, unsure if it's hormones as AF is come early or not

Would love for the thread to continue! Can we amend the title to May + June or is I the case that once it's out there that's it? Probably the latter given we can't edit our own typos 😆

I'm 6dpo today so still have a few days to go, but I feel totally normal since 4dpo (had loads of symptoms 1-3dpo) and already thinking ahead! Tested at 1dpo, 5dpo and 6dpo - see attached. I'm 9 weeks post MMC and had retained products that only passed 4 weeks ago so thinking I've some leftover hcg in my system. Only time will tell and I'm so impatient!

So despite these weird test lines I just experienced light pinkish spotting similar to the implantation bleeding I experienced with my previous two pregnancies... kinda the wrong time of day to test and I'm wary of my faint lines before it's possible to test positive so I'll wait until morning.

I'm currently 6dpo and CD 28. Last cycle involved a miscarriage and the cycle length was 36 days. This cycle is my first "normal" cycle although I ovulated late compared to pre-MC and pre DD1 (I hadn't had a period in 2 years due to pregnancy - breastfeeding - pregnancy ending in MMC). Before my cycle length was 29-31 days generally. I guess this spotting is either a new pregnancy, period coming early (although 6dpo is weird), something to do with progesterone levels or something random to do with MMC recovery.

We can probably just keep this one going?

I’m back to CD2 now aswel so it’ll be end of the month before ovulation and into the TWW again 🤞🏽 If we max this thread we could always just name the next one the same but without the month to keep it going?

HavinKittens · 16/05/2023 20:04

Yes @DmcinT let’s do that. Carry on this one til it’s full and then rename the next one without the month.

Sorry to all those who have had BFN. Pretty sure I'm out. Spotting and a BFN on 10 dpo. Now 12 dpo so period should arrive tomorrow.

FindMyRainbow · 16/05/2023 20:25

Hi Everyone. Late to this thread I know, but sorry to read those messages when it wasn't your month.

I'm 12dpo but havent tested, dont think im as knowledgeable as i should be with TTC but just wondering if anyone else gets increased CM pre period and if anyone has pre previous pregnancy?

I've tried tracking last few months and it seems to increase so I think it's a good sign and then AF has arrived.

I've had lots again this month but no other symptoms so just waiting for AF TBH. Thanks

HavinKittens · 16/05/2023 20:47

Hi @FindMyRainbow !

Sorry I can’t say I’ve noticed a particular pattern of cm before AF. I do notice changes around ovulation but haven’t been able to predict pregnancy by CM before now (I’ve been pregnant twice before).

When do you think you’ll test?

OP posts:
FindMyRainbow · 16/05/2023 20:53

No worries, thanks for the reply. Will test Friday if no AF.

Just so confusing! Last month I ended up taking 3 tests because AF was 8 days late so trying to not be as gutted this time but hard to not search for symptoms/other's experiences!

Harriet669 · 16/05/2023 21:24

@FindMyRainbow I always get an increase in CM after ovulation and often get more ewcm - I think you get a surge or hormones pre AF which is why it can happen 🥰 I used to think it was a good sign but I get it most months!

Harriet669 · 16/05/2023 21:25

@fleur89 sorry it's such a confusing tone for you! My fingers and toes are crossed for you 🤞🏼

Sarahloudobby · 16/05/2023 21:42

@Hazelnuttella congratulations no AF for me yet, had some spotting that has stopped now. I’m due ok today/tomorrow but don’t have any tests at home and I’ve been working so much this week I haven’t bought any. I amazed I waited til now x

Butterfly2000 · 16/05/2023 22:06

Hi! Can I jump on his thread? Currently 7dpo and convinced I have symptoms 🙈 Would be great to talk to people going through it too. I'm driving myseld mad. So tempted to test tonight.
Bug hugs to anyone with bfn and AF
Congrats to those with a bfp x

HavinKittens · 16/05/2023 22:39

Hi @Butterfly2000 and welcome! I would hope out a little longer if you can :) hope you see a line soon x

Two very clear BFNs for me this morning. 13 dpo and period due Friday.
I said yesterday I knew I was out, so no clue why I've upset myself by testing again this morning.
I'm feeling unbelievably sad.

Come wait with me - May TWW
FindMyRainbow · 17/05/2023 06:46

Thanks that's really helpful to know. Even though I'm seeing more of an increase than I had last month I think its probably just the same and should stop reading into it.

@Harriet669 totally messed up the replies above and now can't delete them 🙈 thanks though!

Sarahloudobby · 17/05/2023 07:08

I’ve come on this morning so I’m out. Good luck to everyone else. This is why I wait til AF due date to test saves me money even though it’s hard

I'm sorry.
But yes, you're sensible to wait. I've spent a fortune on testing this month.

confuzzzzzled · 17/05/2023 07:58

AF has started early, why does this always happen when I get my hopes up? 😅I’ll be abroad on holiday for next months TWW so I’m sure I’ll be a lot more relaxed, I’ve been a bit of an anxious maniac this month which I’m sure isn’t helping. Good luck to everyone who got their BFPs so far, and can’t wait to continue the threads with everyone else😀

HavinKittens · 17/05/2023 08:11

Morning all
My period arrived a day early this morning. Which I guess means either ovulation was earlier than I thought or my luteal has reduced to 13 days again.

Sorry you’re feeling sad @SoItGoesAgain , me too, it’s tough. I’m trying to focus on taking care of myself and relaxing but that’s easier said than done.

Thank you 😊 I have in. No line lastnight. No more testing till AF is late next week

How about a nice treatment or something to help you relax? I love going for a pedicure and just taking some time for myself occasionally
