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?

@Hazelnuttella that made me giggle, I always get evaps makes each tww soooooo annoying lol

@Bellabeemarie ah that does sound really annoying. These ones were easy@home strips. The white was very bright, not a faint line in sight. Ha

@Hazelnuttella i use the one step strip tests but I have a issue with reading them after the stated time also just to piss myself off even more 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣🤣

I had some horrendous evap lines with them last month! I never read past 5-10 mins now.

Just as I said I wasn't having the sick feeling I usually get before AF - boom, here it is. I feel hungry but sick 😂

Also - this might be a very specific thing to ask but...

For those of you who have children and had a c section, do you find after sex your scar area can feel tender/twing? I've never ever noticed it before (DS is 7) but me and my ex didn't have a lot of sex, whereas me and DP do. I wonder whether it's less pregnancy symptom and more just 'get yourselves a hobby instead of boffing' kinda thing.

I've got the most dull ache I remember when I was pregnant with DS but if it's due to sex (we DTD most nights, TMI sorry) I'd rather know 😂

Good to know, thanks!

@Hazelnuttella that has made me laugh, they always give a evap line too 😂

@PollyDarton1 I cant help on the C section Piece but when me and DP DTD a Lot then the bottom of my tummy sometimes aches 🙊so does my scar.

@PollyDarton1 I had a section with my last he was 7 last month and most of my belly by my scars still numb so I dont feel anything atall 🙈🤣

Ah that makes sense. I wouldn't say we're hanging from the chandeliers kind of sex but it's frequent and maybe my body isn't used to it

It just feels like pulling around my hips/c section scar area.

Hi everyone, hope you don’t mind me joining in.

I’m on CD19 of cycle #2 and (I think!) 6dpo. I haven’t tested for ovulation and just used the health app on iPhone to have an idea of fertile window - which apps do people suggest for tracking?

I’m symptom spotting and have noticed little twinges in lower tummy, but also could be nothing and I’m overthinking.

Good luck everyone :)
(I’m from the North East too!)

Hi @Lina9 welcome.

I use Premom for tracking. I used to use Clue but they’ve updated it and it’s been very glitchy - wouldn’t recommend.

@Lina9 Hi :) I use Period Tracker and Flo. I find Period Tracker a little more reliable though,

@Lina9 we are cycle buddies, I'm also 6DPO today (I think, got static on Clearblue Digital OPK last Wednesday) I'm also getting twinges but think I get this in other months too....

Hi @Lina9 - I use a combo of Clu and then ovulation tests to track mine, as my cycle is all over the place with PCOS and I can ovulate later than Clu suggests.

Fingers crossed for you!

I took a IC about half hour ago because I'm impatient, thought I saw a vvvv faint line after a few minutes and spaffed my remaining FRER which isn't showing anything.

I cannot have these tests in the house 😂 I've got some coming tomorrow when I'll be 11 DPO but I never learn 😂

Oh wow so many replies!

@confuzzzzzled oh nice! I’m newcastle? You? Also don’t feel like you have to tell me if it’s a stalky question haha.

@Hazelnuttella re evap lines - the madness begins 😅

@PollyDarton1 I’ve had a section but never pain there during sex. It does hurt when my massive toddler is kicking me there though but it would probably hurt anyway. Maybe you’re just getting a bit of a work out? Ha! So many benefits.

Argh at your vvvvvv…vvfl! This is so something I would do re running out of tests. I can see myself doing it. But do I stop myself? No.

Hi and welcome @Lina9 . I’m another own that uses the Premom app. I like their testing kits and I have their Bluetooth thermometer too because I’m a nerd. Honestly my best indicator is my cervical fluid though (Soz, can’t say that without it sounded a bit gross, and I know not everyone gets those signs).

I think there’s a few of us who are 6-7 dpo. (And big up the North East!)

@HavinKittens I think it's the workout 😂 I never usually notice the area unless I sneeze when it goes tight but it's proper pulling sensation at the moment.

I'm a nightmare with tests. Promise myself I won't and then it's almost as if I have to keep doing them before I can stop 😂

@HavinKittens I’m in Newcastle too! Hope you’re enjoying the sunshine here today 😃

This is the little shit IC which convinced me, although I can see a line we are well in the evap zone!

As I said, vvvvvv faint and probably not even decipherable on image!

@confuzzzzzled oh awesome. I dunno about you but I love Neecastle. I’m not a native but lived here a long time. Also loving the sun but had to do an emergency leg shave this morning 😅

@PollyDarton1 i can convince myself I can see it but you’re right it’s hard to judge what sort of line it is.. watch this space?

I Think i can see a vvvvfl to, but its obviously hard with a photo. can you take another of these tests to compare?

So I’ve been very sad and looked back at my Clue app from 3 years ago to when I got pregnant with my son. And I didn’t get a positive test till 16dpo! So I could be in for long wait 😬

I usually get my period at 12 dpo though so that might give me some clues… or false hope if it’s later than usual 🙈

So Ive just been to the toilet and had light pick spotting... do you think this could be early implantation or is it waaaay to early for that?

Anyone else 8dpo and had cramping?
I'm 8 dpo and had cramping - feels like AF cramps :(
