Join me on the TWW :)

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

@GHJ It's definitely comforting to hear we're not alone. Don't worry about the few drinks you had at the wedding. People don't know their pregnant and drink tons! And, back in the day people drank all through their pregnancies. I'm sure it won't upset anything. I'm glad your doctors are looking into this further. Hopefully you have your BFP or an answer soon enough. Keep me updated either way as well :)
Take care, and sending hugs

Thank you ladies, I've calmed down a bit since last night and my lines are progressing which is helping. Luckily my baby has no fever - just a mild cough and some sneezing - so I'm hoping whatever she has is a mild case and I'm not hit hard by it.

Here are my lines at 14dpo, I am saving a digital for Thursday to see if I can get 2-3 weeks and have an early scan booked for 6+1 (as I fly on holiday 6+1 - 8+1). Really hope I see something positive on the scan, ideally I'd have waited until 7 weeks for more certainty but unfortunately that doesn't align with the planned holiday.

@fleur89 loving your progression lines.
I'm glad to hear your little one isn't too bad, and hoping you don't catch it as well. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy ❤

@fleur89 looks like a lovely progression there, wish you all the best!

@GHJ and @Myna13 hopefully your BFP come soon for you both!!

I genuinely feel so unsure on what to expect one of my apps says I’m 3DPO and another says 4DPO, as it’s only my second cycle TTC and prior to this I had the implant in my arm I feel like I don’t know my body super well to notice symptoms vs my new normal.

I had my peak LH on the 19th, all the hearts are DTD but my natural cycles app place’s ovulation on the 21st not the 20th. Tracking my BBT too which has risen so that is a positive from what the app is telling me!

Honestly the unknown is already driving me crazy- nice to know I’m not the only one who feels like this during TTW!

ps @fleur89 those progression lines look amazing!

@Biscuitbeann That is a good point. I had been on the pill for almost 15 years so I decided to come off it in January whilst I knew we wouldn’t start TTC before July so I could see what my body did since it was totally different back then!

but still not tracking anything as it was just our first cycle of lets try to not prevent it. Two apps give me totally different estimated times of ovulation so I’m unsure which one is right 😂

if we don’t get lucky this time I might try to track ovulation a bit. I never have any symptoms before AF is due and therefore I’m thinking everything must be lol. But honestly my boobs have been so damn sore it was even painful to lay on my stomach last night as they would get squished 😂

and I don’t drink a lot of fluids as I should and still am peeing like 20 times a day which is so weird for me.

definitely caved and tested this morning even tho I knew it was too early if the second app is write which looking at it seems more likely then I’m actually only 7dpo so need to wait a bit more patiently only one more week left!

fingers crossed you’ll update us with a bfp!

Hi, just jumping on to this group ❤️

I'm 36, ttc my first. Came off pill in December after 19 years 😱 got pregnant in March but ended in MC in May. Finally got my first period following miscarriage this month so hoping to get our rainbow soon.

I've been trying to track ovulation but its very up and down, prenom had me ovulating the day after my period ended so puts my at 5 /6 dpo and flo has me ovulating next week 🙈 no obvious ovulation symptoms tbh so just winging it.

Symptom spotting is already kicking in and I've had a dull ache since yesterday in my uterus, I've also been trying to track my cervix and its been very high the last 2 days almost unreachable. Today though I noticed something I've never had before..everything feels thicker and fuller inside like significantly lol sorry tmi so now ofcourse I'm convinced I'm pregnant already 🤣🙈 (it could just be mental hormones)

I have nothing really to go on symptom wise with my last pregnancy other than extreme tiredness a few days before AF was due and burning stiff nipples as I wasn't aware I was pregnant until AF didn't show. X

Sorry for my story 🤣

@CatiaR

Ive found tracking really helpful I must admit! Even though I’m only on my second cycle it’s helped me notice things like I tend to cramp the day of my LH surge which, I bought the 100 pack of easy@home OPK strips so have been doing loads of them and they’re much cheaper than the digital ones!! It’s good watching my temp go up after my LG surge too cos it makes me feel I’ve gotten the date fairly accurate! Give or take 24hrs!

sending lots of baby dust your way and hoping to see your BFP soon! I will keep you posted - going to try hold off testing until Sunday so 9 or 10 dpo!

@Biscuitbeann definitely, if we don’t get first time lucky I’ll definitely be tracking it more accurately. I’ve already learnt so much by just chatting to everyone 😊

made this last week more bearable! Fingers crossed for you too! Only 6 more days till AF day, who’s counting? 🙈😂

AF has arrived. More just a relief at this point. My plan is wine tonight. Then forget this TTC lark for a week at least.
Good luck to those waiting patiently to test. Baby dust to you all! Xx

@Bubblesandtroubles I hope you enjoyed your wine! At least now you can focus on the next cycle when it comes.

best of luck!

9/10DPO and BFN - not even a squinter! I feel like I'm out. AF due Sunday.

@ABLOSSOM this was the same as me. AF not due until Monday though so going to keep some hope... but feel like symptom spotting seems to have cleared up too. Got a digital that I'm going to do on Thurs at 13dpo that will at least stop me going crazy seeing lines that aren't there haha

@july89 it's so disheartening isn't it. I wanted to hold off testing until AF didn't show up but just got my hopes up.

I have 1 test left and I'm going to hold off ordering more and either wait for AF to show up or test if not.

I don't feel like I have any symptoms now and think I'm just sending myself crazy.

Morning all! My predicted day of AF has arrived and I have some light cramping so I reckon I'm out this month. I reckon the stress of my interview has played a part in me not conceiving this month. I always find in the past I have gotten a BFP when I've been super chilled. I'll have to be more zen next month and see if it helps! If AF doesn't show (I'll be very surprised) I will update you all but I'm not holding onto any hope. I don't feel pregnant at all xx

Hey @thejollytrolleydolly I think me and you were on a similar cycle this month, I'm on predicted day of AF today too.
Still not holding out hope of being pregnant, but you never know. I've been a bit headachy the last few days but not yet had my full blown headache that I normally get. Got really bad cramps last night on the drive home from work but since then it's settled down.
Just waiting for it to arrive now and then Ill be fully into BBT next month!

@july89 AF is due on Monday for me as well, I'm guessing I am about 8dpo today and testing negative but still early anyway. I still have the same symptoms as before with very sore boobs and peeing so much that is not usual for me at all, my cervix feels very high too so hoping those are good signs but you never know!

I wanted to hold off testing but just can't wait so using cheapies, been doing with FMU but will give an evening a go and if that's any better.

@ABLOSSOM @thejollytrolleydolly We'll never know until AF arrives so fingers crossed for you, otherwise best of luck for next cycle whichever happens

@CatiaR fingers crossed for you with those symptoms! 🤞 Still very early days

@Hotmalibu94 thank you! Keeps us updated how you get on :)

@thejollytrolleydolly it isn't over until AF arrives. Keep us updated either way.

@CatiaR @Myna13 I know you are both right. And I thought my period was due when I got pregnant with my daughter so it's a possibility but I thought a test would have shown by now. I know people can test positive late so I'm hoping that's me!! I don't really feel like AF is coming anytime soon either. Just have some backache and the lightest of cramps. I had some shooting pains behind my nipple yesterday which I had with my last pregnancy so who knows! Guess it's just a waiting game now! If AF hasn't arrived in 2 days I'll do another test xxx

@thejollytrolleydolly must be frustrating having to wait so long, but yes we have seen others say that they only tested positive way after AF was due, so its never out until she shows! keep us updated :)

@CatiaR I know it's a pain! It's ok though 😊 I've got quite a bit on this week to keep me distracted so hopefully I will have my answer in the next few days. Even if this month isn't the one, my bestie is having ivf next month so we might even fall pregnant at the same time which would be wonderful!! Xx

@thejollytrolleydolly that would be lovely, the wait is torture! I shouldn't complain since its only my first cycle of our first baby but man its going to be the longest two weeks of my life! ahah

@CatiaR it always is!! I only ended up conceiving when I stopped caring as I thought after 3 years it wasn't going to happen! It was a complete surprise when I found out I was actually pregnant 😂 x
