Tww 🥳🌸 come join me 🙌

[Amy95]

Hello ladies I'm officially on my two week wait 🙌 it's my first time tracking this month so I'm all new to this ..... Me and my partner have been trying now for about 2 years on and off , but this month we've decided to track and jist go for it ... I'm more positive this time around so if you would like to keep me company your welcome x

Thank you @chlx3 . I don't think I've had any symptoms yet, but I did notice mainly lower back pain (which I'm now thinking could be anything ) and I'm exhausted (which I'm now thinking could be from looking after our two year old). And I'm really hungry all the time now . Baby dust to us xx

@Favofit I have really similar symptoms! And I've been cramping since 4dpo. And I am starving like 24/7! And I'm so so tired. Fingers crossed for us! xx

Now trying not to test until Monday xx

@Favofit I'm also 6DPO with a 2 year old 😊 My first month tracking! So sorry about your ectopic - that must've been awful 💔 but I know someone in my extended family who had 3 babies on one tube 😊

@GeoSmed Hahaha you crack me up, I love it - we should all test on the same day like a cult 😂 although I want to test right near my AF haha. What is the scan for on Monday? I do enjoy the variety of agency life, but I want an in house role next time! Do you enjoy in house life? Love hiding on DND - my favourite move hahaha. I'll definitely join you on your TWW, even if I'm dealing with AF blues 🤣 any podcasts you'd recommend? I love them! Really enjoyed the Huberman Lab one on fertility... But it's 4 hours long 😅

I caved and took a test🤣 pretty sure it's negative but I get line eyes and then convince myself I can see something🥲🤍🤞🏼xx

@LeopardLover thank you, the ectopic was devastating, so grateful for the support I got. Our dates are so similar , fingers crossed for a BFP soon xx

@chlx3 I am trying to think of ways to keep busy and stop myself testing 😂

@Favofit I've tried the past few days to distract myself but I got really sunburnt yesterday and it hurts to walk🤣 so I haven't done much today although I really need to do housework!! 8dpo is still early and it looks negative to me but fingers crossed! 🤞🏼🤍xx

@chlx3 I don't think I can see anything but try again tomorrow using your first-morning urine! 🙏🏻

@LeopardLover I felt like I could see the slightest shadow but will definitely be testing again in 2 days. Period is due in 6 days xx

Most of my younger sisters friends who got bfp they were all in bloody parties every weekend , not a care in the world then me and my partner been trying for 2 years TTC and nothing 😂 xx

Hello joining here. I’m 8 dpo and my current symptoms are sore boobs and pinching on the left side which has been going on for a couple of days now and I get random detailed dreams every night. Also here and there I get really grossed out by some foods but that could be af sign. I’ll start testing tomorrow 🤞🏻

Sounds like me! Keep us updated? xx

@chlx3 The pinching is like a sudden stabbing pain and it’s pretty painful. I’m not sure if I had that in other cycles and I don’t want to get my hopes up only to be disappointed in the end.

@emmatcc1 I've been getting that since 4dpo and don't usually get it in usual cycles. I usually get pains a few hours before my period arrives. Fingers crossed for both of us!!🤞🏼🤍xx

The temptation is so strong , I'm with you on that xx

I have a question m. Do any of you take allergy medicine? Some say it’s fine others say not to. I try to minimize the intake but this season I’m really struggling.

@dabs9 so sorry! I swear someone said they were from Australia but are English? I'm so confused. Please someone tell me I'm not mental!? Where in scotland are you? Is it carnage at the moment with the Radio 1 big weekend being up there? I'm excited we'll be on our TWW together though that's amazing!! Hopefully no one else will be as Ya'll be all pregnant! 😊And that you're in the Gramma club 🙏all you 20s @chlx3 and @Amy95 don't know what you're missing being over the other side. 👀

@LeopardLover You defo should all test together. Then your babies can be part of your tribe and you can do weird dances and stuff round fires and chant.
I would test close to the AF. I tested early last week and was heartbroken when it was negative, i tried to kid myself it was a false negative cuz it was too early 😂 then I came on so I just wasted £15 and was well angry at my body!

Monday is fertility scan so yeah exactly what @dabs9 said - it's to check how many follicles I have growing. Each month you have one dominant one, and like 4/5 little ones, and the dominant big one is the one that gets released and the others all die off. But cuz I have PCOS I have like 60 folicles, so they have to scan me to make sure that the injections aren't over stimulating me which would cause all to grow big, and then when you trigger, it would fire them all out and you could essentially be pregnant with loads! That's why we had to abandon our cycle a few months ago as their were 19 ready to release lol! So yeah it's just a check to see if they're growing, and they measure them, and check the injection dose isn't over stimming them etc. You have one on day 7 of the injections, then day 10 and 12 then trigger, so you have more in the second week as you're close to triggering and they're all getting big. soz that was so boring. If you don't get to read this bit now, i'm not mad. I'm pretty proud of you for giving up and realising you had better things to do than read this really borrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring message.

@chlx3 that's class you're an IVF baby. That's really lovely. Does your mum talk about it much? and hey @Favofit welcome to the weird tribal cult 😉

Yeah I bet it's varied. Are they all similar industries or totally varied? I do like in house yeah, I did agency for a bit, but I find in house I can truly know the brand and tone of voice etc is so easy cuz it's all everything you live and breathe, rather than dipping in and out of different company TOV and style etc. Would you move to a specific type of company or just anything in house? And yeah my dnd is literally on all the time! I just looked at my teams notification and their were 7 and I just was like la la la la can't see anything la la la.

Awww you're super kind! you won't be on AF as you're part of the TWW cult so y'all all fine! And yes I love a podcast. Have you listened to Big Fat Negative? IT's so class and super relatable. 2 women from london area and they're awesome. https://open.spotify.com/show/0tikAyqenCJsaTBwxzlaxg

Recommend going back a few tho so that get to know them more and stuff. The infertile midwife is a good one! xx

@GeoSmed that wasn't boring at all! I find it so interesting! At my hycosy end of last year I had 30 follicles but 1 dominant.. I was worried I had undiagnosed pcos but I guess I'd need to have a heck of a lot more for that! 😅
Hoping for you this is a successful month!

Someone defos lives in Australia, I read that too so you're not going crazy lol.
I'm in Aberdeen, so a little further up than the big weekend but I've just popped out to do the food shop and can tell the traffic is heavy even from up here!

@LeopardLover I absolutely love a good podcast! Haven't listened to any fertility ones but I love true crime ones. Serial is amazing, as is S-town if you haven't listened to those. Just started counter clock which is ok so far.

@emmatcc1 until you're confirmed pregnant I would keep taking it as normal.
I work in maternity and we generally use antihistamines for pregnant women if would be a significant benefit. Haven't missed hayfever season!! Xx

Awww you're kind but yeah it's facinating to be honest, but then it will be to me cuz it's my body, but yeah I totally appreciate some people don't get it, my mum bless her, struggles some times. But it's nice when someone does or is genuinely interested. My bestie is so invested bless her, where as one of my other mates doesn't really understand so I just spare her the detail. It's not her fault - it's confusing for everyone! That's mad you had 30 but good only 1 released. I thik it's a big problem if all 30 were the same size, that's when they'd all release, where as so long as their is one clear winner that's bigger, the others won't come out. Though I bet they do sometimes haha! We had to sign a form the other month to say we won't have sex lol!! Wtf?!

oh blimey! I can't believe how big it is, I didn't think it was but apaz it's 15,000 so not surprised it's busy. I can't think of anything worse than standing in a field for 2 days, but i'm also old and grumpy and would rather watch from home in my reclusive bubble 😂If you like podcasts too, that BFN one I shared is ace. Might not be up your street as a lot is based on fertility treatment but it's really good. Is the weather for you meant to be nice over the weekend for you up there? Aberdeen is hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh xx

Hiya Emma , I'm 7dpo and been having weird cramps since ovulation, so I've been told can be ovulation cramps which is new to me , other than that I feel absolutely fine 😂 so I'm not holding much hope 🙄xx

6dpo

Thank you @GeoSmed , it's nice to be heard & understood xx

@GeoSmed
It's meant to be 25 this weekend and all next week where I am😩 I'm already extremely sunburnt from being outside for like an hour and a half a few days ago, I've never burnt so badly so quickly! x

It's only going to get hotter, sun cream will be your best friend for a while. I've been cramping on my lower left tummy on/off all day, not sure it's a symptom
