Hello, I’m new year and in my very first TWW (4DPO I think). Hope it’s OK to join xx

CinderRosie · 06/07/2023 12:58

@HavinKittens love that colour!
Welcome @Scarletthoping good luck for your first TWW! Would this be your first baby?

Scarletthoping · 06/07/2023 13:35

@CinderRosie Yep first baby 🤞🏻
feel like I’m learning a new language with all the abbreviations 🤣
have you been trying for long? X

JLN88 · 06/07/2023 13:55

Hi ladies!
hope it’s ok to join. I’m currently 9/10pp trying for number 2. Had milk milk cramps aches yesterday and a bit today. Think I’m going to test tomorrow and see if anything comes up. Don’t normally get aches and pain until AF comes but it may also be my brain messing with me.

HavinKittens · 06/07/2023 13:58

Hello and welcome @Scarletthoping you’re right it is like another language
you’lol speaking it in no time 😂

And welcome @JLN88 I find I notice aches and twinges more and never know if it’s me or a sign! What does “milk milk cramps” mean? I feel like that might be a typo haha

Welcome!
Exactly the same as me, 4po today! All the best with your journey xx

JLN88 · 06/07/2023 14:02

Helllloooo! Sorry typo - must remember to read before pressing send 🤣 mild cramps I meant. I hate the tww. Always say I won’t let it take over my life and every time it’s all I think about. It’s only our first month trying for #2 and it took 11months to get my little boy.

rosecbrm · 06/07/2023 14:04

I've notice that our 'relaxed' approach to our first month TTC #1 is actually making me anxious, as the more I think about it the more I want it!

Am I right in thinking 4dpo would be too early to spot any symptoms? It's constantly on my mind and then I think ahh surely that's nothing related as implantation hasn't even happened yet.. The joys!

I should've said implantation wouldn't have happened yet - not hasn't!

JLN88 · 06/07/2023 14:06

Implantation I believe is between 6-12 dpo. So I would think 4 dpo is too early but again depends if you know exact ovulation date. Are you doing OPKs or charting?

CinderRosie · 06/07/2023 14:13

@Scarletthoping this was my first month of trying properly with timed DTD around the fertile window but technically we tried the previous 2 months too but only managed to DTD on the day of ovulation itself.

rosecbrm · 06/07/2023 14:17

@JLN88 I haven't this cycle but have used OPKs in the past to get a rough idea of when my ovulation was in preparation for TTC and usually get a peak around cd15! I did get some cramps that evening too so assuming it happened!

I think I am just overthinking it all tbh!

How is everyone else feeling today?

HavinKittens · 06/07/2023 14:24

Agree with @JLN88
6dpo is meant to be the earliest if you’ve got your dates right

rosecbrm · 06/07/2023 14:30

Thanks all! I thought so after reading other threads etc! Turns out I'm just overthinking it all!

Also loving the nail colour @HavinKittens!

Scarletthoping · 06/07/2023 14:58

@HavinKittens - haha thank you! Looking forward to becoming fluent!

@rosecbrm - oh brilliant! Sending lots of luck and baby magic! I also got some cramps on the eve I think I ovulated. When are you planning to test? I'm going to try and hold out until when my period is due. Eek.

@CinderRosie - oh fab! Hopefully that will mean you have more luck this time round.

rosecbrm · 06/07/2023 15:00

Thank you @Scarletthoping, back at you!
Not planning on testing until after AF is due either, although the fact it's constantly on my mind I feel like this is going to be a struggle! I am not expecting anything this month but you never know I guess! X

Abs014 · 06/07/2023 16:52

Hiya! How are we all? @CurlyWurly1991 any update? @HavinKittens love the dress and that colour of varnish is lush!

Noticed some new names so welcome! It’s great that we can come here and post!

I am 10DPO today and took another test (Boots 5 days early). AF is due Monday so I’m 4 days away. Still unsure what’s going on! Trying not to get my hopes up as I spotted again this morning around 7am. Bright red again which worries me but only a small amount and nothing since so who bloody knows! I think there’s a line on todays test and the photo was taken within the 5 mins timeframe too! 2 photos but 1 test 😊. Might test tomorrow, if not defo Saturday!

Come wait with me - July onwards

So I think I may be out of the game. Went to Dr's today to do with something else. Told her about the faint lines so she offered to take bloods and test. Came back negative :( although she said its still early so the show ain't over yet I think I may need to face facts.

I did however leave with a UTI and fungal infection 👌

Abs014 · 06/07/2023 17:10

@LA7887 ahh so sorry to hear this! Take it easy and be kind to yourself x

HavinKittens · 06/07/2023 17:13

@Abs014 I can see a second line!! That is very exciting!

I’m sorry @LA7887 how come you got your result so quickly?

Goldie1234 · 06/07/2023 17:15

@Abs014 I see a line !!

Oh gosh @LA7887 not ideal on the infections 🙈 hope the tests were just too early !!

LA7887 · 06/07/2023 17:20

@Abs014 still got a small chance if it shows in bloods I guess but I'm not holding out hope x

LA7887 · 06/07/2023 17:23

@HavinKittens sorry I meant the pee test was negative. Bloods not til next week. She gave me 2 pregnancy tests to take if AF is late.

@Goldie1234 thank you lol. Bloody typical x
