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

@Myna13 squinting at tests is part of the fun surely?! Looking forward to the Wednesday update, it'll definitely make it harder for me to hold on until hopefully Friday with a cheapie!

Ah I'm out. AF has arrived a whole week early again for the second month in a row! No idea why this is happening..good luck to everyone else though :)

@Nurselou that sounds positive to me! I know your temp is meant to stay high when you have conceived but I've never checked mine because I'm up at different times every day.

@ThelastRolo20 nooooooo!! Is it definitely AF? If so do you think you might be ovulating earlier than you thought? Big hugs, it's not the outcome you wanted but it means the start of a new cycle and putting this cycles mind to rest xx

@thejollytrolleydolly yeah normal period cramping now so seems like the real deal unfortunately!
I must be but the two/ three cycles before I was back to my very usual 29 days so these last two months of 21/22 days is throwing me off massively. I'm not used to being irregular! But oh well, I will assume ovulation is early next month and try a bit earlier! :) Like you say, if it's a negative month at least we're moving onto the next try quickly

@ThelastRolo20 exactly! How do you track your ovulation btw? Do you go by cm or use the strips? Xx

@thejollytrolleydolly I normally just do cm so I was more convinced I was having a normal monthly cycle but the signs were definitely stronger before my first pregnancy. It's all been a bit haywire since (stopped breastfeeding 6 months ago though so you'd think I'd be back to normal by now!)

If next month is weird too I'll start using strips so I actually know rather than staring into my crystal ball haha

Sod it. Bought cheap ovulation strips for this month!

@thejollytrolleydolly your symptoms are exciting! Fingers crossed they lead to a BFP for you! And love that your DH noticed 😂 always makes it seem more real if someone else notices. My DH won't entertain my symptom spotting 😭
Love the stash! I need to stock up 😂

@Myna13love the plan 😂 fingers crossed your test on Wednesday is a bfp 🤞

@Nurselouwelcome! Fingers crossed for you! Sounds like you got great coverage over the fertile window so fingers crossed!!!!

I have so much CM today, it's like EWCM though so now I'm just panicking that I'm ovulating late or something as the same thing happened last month. Maybe if this month doesn't work I might have to look at OPKs next month...

@thejollytrolleydolly thanks for sharing a picture of your test. I won't get my hopes up and do a few more tests over the next few days and see what happens.

@ThelastRolo20 noo! I'm sorry this isn't the outcome we were all hoping for. But you will start a new cycle now! Wishing you luck and baby dust, and may this new cycle be the one where you get your BFP. Sending love and hugs 🤗❤

@Hotmalibu94 My DH won't entertain my symptom spotting either 😭
Is your CM slightly different from when you ovulate? Like is it lotioney rather than eggy? That's meant to be a really good sign actually. I've read a lot of ladies swim in CM before their BFPs. Hoping that's a good sign for you and you get your BFP soon! ❤

@Hotmalibu94

Hey! Thanks I’m praying for a positive!

I used ovulation kit and had flashing smiley for two days then static smiley on CD 12.

I had ewcm around that time and it’s since turned to a more gluey slightly yellow cm at 5DPO. It’s still stretchy but not at all like the ewcm.

Has yours changed at all?

@Hotmalibu94 can you get some BD in tonight just incase? That is meant to be a good sign though!

I dont think I get loads consistently when I'm pregnant but I did write in my notes last time that I sneezed and a puddle came out 😂😂

@Nurselou I had some like that at 1/2dpo it was like glue but just for one day then it went away. Mines currently creamy and it's there but not in buckets x

@Myna13 @Nurselou honestly I'm not sure what it was like around expected o date as it's kinda hard to tell isn't it when you're having unprotected sex too 🙈 so not actually sure what it would have been like around then! It seems really slippery and stretchy though so properly like EWCM 🤦‍♀️

@thejollytrolleydolly I might have to give it a go 😂 I think if this month isn't my month Ill need to track more next month! I gave my DH two months of more relaxed trying so hopefully he won't mind too much if I start checking 😂 maybe I do it sneakily and don't tell him 😂😂😂

@Hotmalibu94 yeah just spring it on him I'm sure he won't be upset 😂 xx

@Myna13 @thejollytrolleydolly blooming hell so my period bleeding has stopped (even none on wiping) and cramps going. Soo strange, if nothing else in 24 hours I'm holding out some faint hope!

Bit more discharge, some stretchy and some more creamy. Who knows what's going on 😂
Only 7dpo! Dunno if you even get more cm this early?

Also feel a bit crampy but not sure if I'm just imagining things, it's very mild

Think actually I feel crampy because I'm just backachey 😂

@ThelastRolo20 keeping my fingers crossed for you!
I swear the second we start TTC our bodies just start doing crazy stuff 😂 last month I had loads of heartburn... I NEVER get heartburn

@Hotmalibu94 I’m exactly the same as you today! I woke with cramps and backache which has settled this afternoon.

Had creamy CM start today, yesterday was more gluey. 5/6 DPO.

Hi, everyone! I just found this forum and could really use your opinion! I’m young, 21, I don’t have any kids yet. My husband and I just started ttc and I think we might’ve gotten lucky, but I’m not sure. I am 10dpo right now, and have a faint positive. Do y’all think it’s safe to say I’m pregnant? Currently freaking out! Lol

@ThelastRolo20 our bodies are soo strange! Definitely keep a check on it and maybe if you don't bleed again in a few days, do a test maybe on Thursday?
@Hotmalibu94 I had the creamy CM 5-7dpo. I'm 8dpo today and not much discharge, which I feel is really strange. I feel wet, but nothing when I wipe like the last few days.
@hannahgayle welcome to the group! Those both look like really faint, but definitely positives to me! Maybe test again on Wednesday and see if the line gets thicker, or get in touch with your GP and let them know you've got these tests so you can get a blood test to confirm pregnancy.
Congratulations 😁

Oooh @ThelastRolo20 that sounds promising! I did think it was strange that your period would come a week early twice in a row!

@Hotmalibu94 I feel the same as you, loads of period type backache that is radiating through my pelvis and some light cramping at the front. Yes you can absolutely get more cm this soon 😊

@hannahgayle I would definitely say they are positive and about the right darkness for how many days dpo you are CONGRATULATIONS! 🥳 I would go and grab a digital so you can see it in black and white and can celebrate 😊

Thanks @Hotmalibu94 and @Myna13 :) it's a minefield isn't it with these symptoms! If it stops and doesn't come back will test on Wednesday onwards - not sure I'll be able to wait any longer!

@hannahgayle that looks like a strong positive to me!! Congratulations 🎉 :)
