Come wait with me - May TWW

[HavinKittens]

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?

Oh @fleur89 it's such a rollercoaster isn't if. I'm crossing everything that the BFP comes properly for you

AF is now over and business can resume. Am tracking BBT (although I keep forgetting which isn't helpful) to add to OPK.

AF arrived this morning just as the Premom app predicted 😞 Glad I have certainty now and can stop POAS for a while. Going to relax with a glass of wine over the long weekend and join you ladies next month 🙏

No idea what the faint positives were about, perhaps I conceived but didn't implant properly or perhaps it was a chemical (maybe these are the same thing 🙈)

@fleur89 so sorry AF has come and the roller coaster you have bath! but I hope you enjoy your wine this weekend! Treat yourself to a decent bottle and sit in the sun with it 💜

@fleur89 sorry to hear this update after such a am I/aren't I few days. Good idea with the wine, I had a ton of chocolate when my AF came lol.

CD6 here, AF well and truly gone. Have been lax with BBT during AF but started again this morning, and took an Easy@Home OPK just to monitor. Will start with the CB Advanced from tomorrow.

oh Fleur, at least it’s closure on this cycle I guess, glad you’re going to treat yourself, you deserve it after a confusing few days

I am CD 8 and wondering when I will ovulate this month. Had been cd 21/22 for a few months and then last month it came early at cd16. Started temping and will start OPKs soon too.

I might just be over thinking and paranoid but my DH doesn’t seem as interested in being intimate at the moment and I dunno if he’s feeling the pressure of TTC or what. We had a bit of a tiff this morning and part of me feels like I don’t want to even try this month, but of course I do.

Ee nothing is simple.

Oh @fleur89 bless you. Not good news but closure on where you stand. Good you can relax this w.e. and treat yourself.

@HavinKittens that's always the worst! My DH got super drink in March when we should have DTD and I really didn't want to lol. Hope you can make up and not feel the pressure.

I'm still waiting for AF after my BFN on Saturday but cycle was 32 days in April too and that's not come yet. Have been so messed up since my loss in Sep.

Hope some of you can start making some babies ❤️

I'm only 3dpo today and I've already been doing cheapie tests since 1dpo haha. I know they can't be positive this early but I just can't help but hope and try anyway... the next week feels like it's going to pass so slowly.

Does anyone get nervous to exercise when hopefully in the implantation stage? There's mixed stuff about it online and I don't want to harm my chances by doing it but also don't want to miss out on my regular classes that I like.

@fleur89 sorry to hear about AF showing, esp when you’d such mixed messages. Hope ur doing ok xxx ❤️

@HavinKittens its so hard because we’re really at the mercy of them performing too and they must feel that pressure. I know my OH has said he feels extra pressure when I tell him it’s out FW or ovulation day. Maybe we’re best not even saying? It’s hard to know

I try not to say too much but then it can make the whole TTC experience feel a bit lonely too.

@HavinKittens my OH prefers me not to tell him when it's time 😂 he said just do something to 'turn me on' (cringe) and then it's less pressure on him 😂

Thank you my lovelies. The light bleeding stopped after a few hours, it was light in colour and not like a normal period. Tested again and still faint positive. My sister is a doctor so spoke to her, could be I hyperovulated and/or conceived later than expected and this is implantation bleeding, could be it's a chemical and AF is still on the way, or could be implantation happened in the wrong place. She advised to check what happens to lines / bleeding over the weekend and if there is still confusion then go to EPU.

i'm CD8 too and similarly ovulate late around dsy 19/20. i hate having slightly longer cycles!

took a break from reading all things ttc last couple week as it so draining after a negative.

hoping this is the month for us all! started testing ovulation again and back to dtd every other day

@fleur89 you really are going through the mill. Glad to hear you’ve got your sister on hand to advise. I hope you get some resolution over the weekend, we’re all thinking of you on this thread x

@fleur89 i hope you get a proper answer soon as to what’s going on.
AF over for me and back into my it’s a “good time “ window. The app I use gives you windows of good times and great times to try. Makes it a bit less pressure. I have got clear blue ovulation tests upstairs but we feel like we want to try but make it not all about trying if that makes sense and also I want to enjoy sex and not just see a non surge day and then enjoy it, does that make any sense? I’ve attached a picture of my app cycle below x

17months later and can't actually believe what I'm seeing 😬 nervous and excited! Can't believe it's happened!

@Harriet669 yey! Congratulations

@Sarahloudobby thank you 🥰 can't quite believe it

@Harriet669 aww great news 🎉🥳 huge congrats x

Oh @Harriet669 that is bloody amazing! You must feel in disbelief after all this time. Wonderful news to wake up to x

@Harriet669 yay! Congratulations!

Ladies - what OPK strips would everyone recommend please?

Thanks ladies! Feels a bit surreal! Keep having cramps which is making me nervous, but Dr google seems to say it's okay 😂

Congratulations! @Harriet669 🤗
