So my first official tww begins today, anyone at the same stage.
First try for a second little one, currently have one who had their primary leavers assembly today so will be a fairly large age gap

7 dpo, first month dtd in fertile window, symptom spotting like crazy, feeling exhausted, had some very light stains in pants yesterday and a sharp pain day before. Nipples sore but get that normally. Not sure if more sore than normal. Sending luck to you all

Belle89 · 21/07/2023 22:38

Ah this is what I'm dreading, I'm sure my boobs hurt more than normal for just after mid month.
Fingers crossed for us all 🤞

Technically on 3rd cycle however first one I didn't pick up that my ovulation was later that I thought and we stopped dtd that month, second hubby was unwell so didn't drd in fertile window, this is the first one we dtd in fertile window. How about you?

pmd88 · 21/07/2023 23:42

4th one. January. Missed a month as was on antibiotocs. March and April tried, but had massive stress as mum was admitted to hospital and it was the most traumatic months of my life -messed my entire cycle up. Took May and June off to get over it all. Really hoping it happens asap. It is so draining isnt it?

MrsO5Jan · 21/07/2023 23:47

I'm 2 dpo this is my first month trying, told myself I wouldn't obsess this time and if it happens it happens ...yeah right 😂 obsessing already!

Sunnydays12340987 · 22/07/2023 00:03

@pmd88 sorry to hear you've had a lot on. Yea I'm finding it's all consuming and such a mixture of emotions! Was so stressed around ovulation day thinking what if he isn't in the mood. I know they say relax but easier said than done. You've done the right thing in giving yourself that time to recover.

@MrsO5Jan it's such a crazy process right?!

pmd88 · 22/07/2023 00:07

Same. I am tired of everyone saying to relax. I am so inpatient anyway and when I want something I want it yesterday 🤣 Ttc does not work that way. Foolishly believed it would happen month one 🤣 Trying to not obsess this month. I remind myself that people in war torn countries, third world countries etc get pregnant, it cannot be all down to relaxing.

Bizjustgotreal · 22/07/2023 06:40

Been trying since Feb. Conceived in June but miscarried early July (just a day before 7 weeks).

Assuming my cycle hasn't gone haywire, I'll be 2 dpo today.

Ncl31 · 22/07/2023 10:01

We’ve been trying since October 2021, with a few months off here and there when we’ve had some family bereavements. We also tried not to conceive for 3 months before our wedding.
We got married 8th July - fertile window was towards the end of honeymoon. Lots of DTD and DH has been wanting it ever since - I’m not complaining.
Had some light spotting and cramping around what I predict ovulation was but didn’t track with OPKs.
AF due 3rd August

Sunnydays12340987 · 23/07/2023 10:38

How's everyone doing? I'm 9 dpo, tired, nipples continue to be sore,I caved and did a easy@home test yesterday which was negative, bit early haha. Going to try and distraft myself today. AF due either tomorrow or Tuesday. Will try and hold off testing till Wednesday. Feel like it will go either way. The only change this cycle is the tiredness and very slight light brown stain a couple of times but know that could be unrelated

Ncl31 · 23/07/2023 19:44

@Sunnydays12340987 that sounds positive.
When did your nipples become sore? Everyone keeps telling me I know I’m pregnant when my nipples/boobs get sore. I’m yet to experience that. Around 6DPO today.

Fingers crossed for you.

satellitesunshine · 23/07/2023 20:05

7dpo here on 2nd cycle. tested today obviously bfn 😭😂

Thank you, the tiredness was ridiculous today like I'm coming down with something. Nipples sore two days after ovulation. Although I do usually get sore nipples before and after ovulation on cycles when I'm not pregnant, think it's down to hormonal fluctuations in the cycle. Just this time it's gone on for longer. Symptoms are so random I've read on here people getting no symptoms and finding out theyre pregnant and all symptoms and it was pms. Crazy bodies haha! Fingers crossed for you too x

It's so hard to not test though!

Belle89 · 23/07/2023 20:15

Only 3dpo and have the most ridiculous tiredness 😩 I'm sure it's my mind playing tricks surely. Anyone else had this? Sore boobs too but also not unheard of for me. Normally get these things in the days leading up to period but not this early in the month.
@Sunnydays12340987 that's sounding promising with nipple pain too!

I had tiredness from 4 dpo but today's been the worst at 9 dpo. Hope it's a good sign for you and you manage to get lots of rest

Belle89 · 23/07/2023 20:35

Fingers crossed 🤞 your 9 dpo now? Not much longer till you can test with confidence 💗

Thank you yea I've got a short luteal phase so AF due around tomorrow, I think.. unless I've got irregular cycles. Only tested for ovulation twice so not quite sure yet. Will keep you posted

Babyhopeful23 · 23/07/2023 22:03

Can I join in! Today was ovulation day after a trending positive OPK yesterday, didn’t catch the peak as I was unable to test but I’ve had 2 days of EWCM and ovulation pains in my right ovary.
We did the SMEP this month which involves far more sex than we are used to but hopefully it’s successful.
The hardest part by far is the TWW. Hoping we all get our BFPs this month.

Hi everyone! Im 3DPO and promised myself I’d relax and just wait and see but obviously the TWW already feels sooooo difficult. Cannot wait for testing window. Although going to try and wait until day before period as I usually test waaaayyy too early 🫣

Ncl31 · 24/07/2023 10:22

I’m 6/7DPO today, didn’t track OPKs this months as we were busy getting married and away on honeymoon but I had left sided cramping and slight blood stained cm so going from that.

Hoping this is our month.good luck to everyone
