Join me on the TWW :)

[thejollytrolleydolly]

Anyone else starting their TWW? I'm 1dpo and need help staying sane whilst I google all of the symptoms under the sun 😂😂 currently googling "how does your cervix feel if you've conceived" lol

@MrsB262 Definitely see a line there too so fingers crossed for you!

I'm still too early to test need to continue to resist the urge, estimating to be 7dpo now but not too sure since I didn't test.

I hardly have any symptoms before AF so much I forgot it was due last month until it arrived so I don't feel too much different. Occasionally I feel lightest cramping in lower tummy that would tell me that AF would be near but feeling that these days when AF in not due for more than week so hoping its something positive, but again only our first cycle for baby #1 so we have to be patient XD

Had said I wouldn't buy any tests until AF was missed and now got cheapies, boots early detection and a CB digital if AF doesn't come ahah!

Still resisting the urge to test only to get BFN and waste tests tho!

But lovely to speak to everyone here :)

@CatiaR it's so hard to resist though isn't it because of all of the what ifs!

@satellitesunshine yes to the optimism! It's the best way to be!

@Hotmalibu94 you're not out until the red lady sings! You can still implant up to 12dpo (I think I'm a late implanter) so there's still a chance

Well I've definitely got the fear today... everything seems overwhelming and wrong. I'm obsessing over thoughts in my head and I've just been to walk to the dog and as soon as I walked back into my house I broke down in tears! I had a big cry! I'm pretty sure it's hormonal but it still feels crap. I really don't want to go to work today but I need the money really 😩 I just want to hide in bed ☹️ xx

@thejollytrolleydolly oh no, virtual hugs to you!

Can't wait for the weekend, feel like I need a nap and its only 11AM! We got pizza day at work today so can't wait for the food :D

@CatiaR thank you! I feel like I need a hug! Jealous of your pizza day! I'm at work all day so just the crappy airline food for me 😅 x

@thejollytrolleydolly My workplace is pretty great not gonna lie! Got my puppy and free food today :)

Airline food can be a bit hit or miss, what do you do if you don't mind me asking?

@satellitesunshine twinges were literally my only symptom until I got my BFP and nausea hit. Definitely a reason to be optimistic 💗

@thejollytrolleydolly yes! My son knew about his little sister and he knew she was a girl!! He was completely right! We only found out the gender with her because he was so adamant.

Is shaking and cramping normal guys? I'm so nervous

@CatiaR I'm cabin crew 😊 we get given food at work but I think I'm going to get some M&S food today to cheer me up! Your work place does sound pretty amazing! I don't think I've ever worked anywhere that I can bring my dog!

@MrsB262 fingers crossed she is right then! We will have to nickname the baby Roxy until he or she is born if she's right! Xx

@thejollytrolleydolly I see! I thought that might be the case but didn't want to assume! Never worked somewhere like my place either but I feel like its pretty great, and very good given its maternity and baby related! with a decent discount we can use :) otherwise I'd normally never buy their brand as it is a bit pricey XD

Okay why do I even say I'm not going to test? There was no one at home when I got back from work so I was just like hey another cheap test won't go a miss especially cos I've been worried today... it's darker!!! Please everyone keep your fingers crossed we had 2 miscarriages back to back before my daughter.
So this is my 10 DPO afternoon pee.
Has anyone else tested today?

@MrsB262 definitely looks darker, keeping my fingers crossed for you!

its still too early for me to test I’m guessing to be about 7dpo today (but again no idea as I didn’t actually test). Will try to hold on till monday/Tuesday.

I had told my husband before I’d only test when AF didn’t arrive but now I got all sorts of tests prepared. Just hope my willpower is strong enough to hold on and not waste any!

definitely hard to wait and hope I’m not imagining things as I only got very slight sore boobs and lower tummy but I generally don’t get any symptoms before AF and she’s not due till next week!

baby dust to everyone waiting!

@CatiaR I think I've turned into a testing monster 😅😅 I've got no will power and this is why I can't diet either 😂
These days are so long, I've got everything crossed for you and hope your weekend goes fast! I'm glad work has finished, I only work a Thursday & Friday so it's my first 5 days off of the summer holidays! 😊

@MrsB262 I think I only keep away since my almost 9 month old puppy keeps my busy enough! Most of other colleagues are busy but I can’t support with much until later on their processes leaving me with not much to do a lot of looking around and playing with the pup at the office or in the garden when I’m wfh 😂

Hey.. Wondered if I could jump in for a bit advice..
I miscarried naturally the last week in June.. about a week after we started DTD.. as I didn't have a clue when I was ovulating, etc! I then for 'scientific' purposes (🤣🤦‍♀️) took a clearblue digital ovulation test on the 18th July, & got a solid smiley! We've DTD ever since.. so should I take it as now being 3 DPO or should I just not bother as I've not had a period as of yet?
Not sure what to do here, but I think this could be the start of my TWW? 🤔x

@MrsB262 I tested today too and lines are looking darker. I'm 11dpo 😊 Attached are my tests - FRER, easy@home HPT and OPK. I decided to do an OPK (blue) as heard they go dark if pregnant- seems that's true 😆

@fleur89 congrats definitely darker so seems to be progressing! Fingers crossed for you!

The TWW is torture!! It's my first one so I'm trying to be chill but it's so hard. So nice to read that it's not just me that can't stop thinking about symptoms and testing though 😂

I ordered some tests today to be delivered tomorrow, so going to wait until 12DPO which will be Sunday.

Nearly grabbed some at every supermarket visit this week but talked myself out of it every time by thinking "omg so embarrassing buying PREGNANCY TESTS!!" Like I would've when I was younger 😅

@fleur89 congratulations!! Hopefully sticky ones for us!!

@lilpopcorn ahah it’s like seeing myself in a mirror! Me and the husband said lets just stop trying to prevent it, and I had a very chilled idea at first but once I got to the TWW all went out the window! I got tests now but still managed to fight the urge of testing. We’re very close in time I think I’m a couple of days behind you.

fingers crossed we get some good news next week!

@fleur89 they are really good positives congratulations! Deffo going to use the opk trick as I have loads of them 😂 save me using my last couple of preg tests!

@CatiaR ooh now I'm trying to guess where you work! Yeah we get good perks at work too. Really makes it worthwhile doesn't it 😊

@MrsB262 they are looking good!! Fingers crossed for a super sticky one for you xx

@thejollytrolleydolly ahah you could probably guess it easily 😂

@CatiaR I reckon it's mamas and papas or something like that 😊

My cervix feels really low today which I think is a sign of AF so I'm holding off testing again until it's late. I don't have any symptoms today either so god knows what's going on! I'll probably get my answer and my interview result on the same day so it's either going be a very good or bad day 😂 xx

@thejollytrolleydolly close! But not mamas and papas, its JoJo Maman Bebé and although our offices are dog friendly some people don’t know that our shops are dog friendly too!

fingers crossed for you that will be a good day! 😊

@CatiaR that was going to be my second guess! Aw I do love that shop ❤️

Haha I know imagine if I find out I have a promotion and a pregnancy on the same day! That would be magical! X

@CatiaR how are you feeling? X
