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?

Please can I join, I’m 10 days post ovulation and have had every symptom there is every hour 😂 today I have had a headache which is unusual for me and burping. The last couple of days I’ve had really sore boobs which is normal for me but they have gone away now. I’m so worried about it all. Everyone is announcing they are pregnant and I’m just finding it super hard to deal with which is why I think I’m symptom spotting to much. Good luck everyone

Hi @Jaded1066 sorry to hear you’re feeling worried. Is this your first time trying to conceive? 10dpo should mean you don’t have much longer to wait til you know.

fingers crossed for us all this month, I end up symptom spotting every month, even as early as I am now when I know in reality its just a coincidence.

The last couple of days Ive been sooo tired to the point I can hardly keep my eyes open, :( Also I just cant stop eating!

when are you all going to test? Will you wait until AF is missed? or are you a keen bean like me and cant resist a early test haha

I've told close friends we're ttc, but I'm not hopeful. This is our first month trying for our second baby (I have a 3.5 year old). But I'm 42 now and worried we've left it too late.
I'm 7dpo this morning and tested last night. Obviously it was negative as 6dpo is way too early to test, but I couldn't help myself.
Not sure we had sex often enough this month either - only 3 times around fertile window.
Baby dust to all.

I tested this morning 9 dpo and got a negative, which is to be expected. I just thought I'd test on the off chance. Period due in 6 days.

Hi, hope it's OK to join! I'm 10 dpo (confirmed with ovulation test) and DTD pretty much the entirety of the fertile window

Did a FRER which is negative but not overly surprised as I only got a faint positive with my 7 year old DS at 12dpo.

I have PCOS and I am 38, this is the first cycle. I fell pregnant really easily (and surprisingly) with DS but was 31

I am having similar symptoms to AF arriving (sore boobs, a bit headachy) but I saw what looked like two small implantation spots of blood two days ago. I've had a lot of pulling/pinching and lower back pain around the ovaries. I feel weirdly out of breath, tired and my teeth hurt! Oh and I'm also hungry a lot during the day, which is super rare for me!

Crossing fingers for everyone x

Hopefully the timing was just too early for you both and you will get you BFP in a few days :)

With our first we fell after 3 months but this time is seeming a bit more of a challenge, I have a little hope for this month, I just feel a little different you know ha! but I guess time will tell.

Hey I'm a little late to the party 😩🤣, I'm only 2dpo I have pcos so I track ovulation with opks and bbt, tomorrows temp should confirm ov but I'm pretty certain I'm 2dpo

I'm annoyed we didnt get to DTD the day I ovulated we managed the night before and the morning after so this month we DTD
CD 7,8,9,11,12,13,15 I ovulated cd14 😫

BUT! this is the best chance weve ever gave ourselves so I'm a little excited to see if we get our BFP finally cycle 22 for us this cycle ❤

@Bellabeemarie Welcome :) fingers crossed you get your BFP this month. <3

Hi @PollyDarton1 i love your username. Good on ya for being so dedicated to DTD, it can only help right??

I had a bit of pinching in my left side this morning but it’s probs just my old worn out hips!

@optimisticchanger my mum had me at 42 and that was back when there weren’t any handy opks or apps!

I want to test at 9dpo but I’m going to try and force myself to hold out til 10. Which will be near impossible for me.

@HavinKittens how many DPO are you now? It could be a sign, its so hard not to read into everything though isnt it.

Im going to test on the 17th at 10DPO so ill be sending many dodgy tests over that week im sure...

I’m 7dpo today so about the right time for implantation.

Ha yes I will be sending many tests I’m sure, brace yourselves.

I swore off first response because of the indents last cycle but I’m already tempted to get some in.

@Soph2512 thank you I hope all you lovely ladies get your bfp this cycle too 🤞❤

Its my eldest sons birthday on the 16th I'll be 7dpo that's when I usually start POAS but I dont want to get myself down and put a downer on his birthday, weve planned a mum, son day shopping and a meal so I need to sit on my hands until atleast 17th xxx

@HavinKittens only a few more days to wait then :)

I have bought some cheap ones from Amazon, They were really good at picking up my chemical in January :) I think I managed to pick it up at 8/9DPO
21 x Babyplan Early Pregnancy Test Strips, (Highly Sensitive- HCG 10mIU), Together with Silicone Urine Cup, Tests up to 5 Days Earlier, Easy to Use : Amazon.co.uk: Health & Personal Care

Where Is everyone from, I am from Hampshire :)

@Bellabeemarie aw the birthday plans sound lovely, and hopefully you’ll be pretty distracted so it will be easier to resist POAS.

@Soph2512 I already have an whole cupboard of tests that I should really use first haha 😳

I’m in the north east. It’s a gorgeous day here already.

@Bellabeemarie Your Sons birthday plans sounds great :) I hope you have the best day together!

@HavinKittens I have so many too its so bad isnt it! hah

it is a lovely day here too the only down side is work..

I tried not having any tests in so I wouldn’t be tempted until I missed my period but I just ended up panic buying from on Amazon prime. So, now at least I’m prepared ha.

@HavinKittens this happens to me every month! I dont know how any one has the control to wait until AF is missed...

@HavinKittens

I hope so! Just so happened to be an active month 😂

I bloody hate the convincing yourself there is a line there. I did this last month (which was an accidental possible pregnancy) and convinced myself - it's ridiculous

Thank you girls I'm looking forward to it as we never get equality time together with the other kids it's always us all together,

I'm the same with tests I've got 30 ic and 2 frer, I wont touch the frer tho unless I get a hint of a line that make some think vvvvvf bfp, I always seem to get evaps tho every single month I drive myself absolutely insane 🙈

I do this too every month as well I fully convince myself there is a line when its very obvious there isnt,

Im going to do the same I wont use my finally FRER test until I get a proper line

@HavinKittens I’m in the north east too!

I have no pregnancy tests in the house so I can be tempted to do any, I'll have to make a conscious effort to buy one before taking it. Going to try my best to wait until next Saturday morning when I'll be 15DPO. I usually spot before AF (but not when pregnant) so if this isn't starting this time next week I'll probably be tempted to test haha

I've got a big batch of IC but they often dry to an evap line, so I don't like using them, but also can't afford to take FRER every time! I have one more FRER till tomorrow when I've got some more coming.

Definitely overthink it here, but I did a test this morning, knowing it would be negative (7dpo) just because I wanted to see if I’d get an evap line so I could compare it with any future lines.

Didn’t even get an evap line though, I feel cheated 😂
