TWW begins today, anyone else?

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

I think post ovulation can be quite watery?

Everything crossed for you @Sunnydays12340987 I'll be testing over the weekend too but starting early 🤞

@Belle89 fingers crossed! How many dpo are you again?

I didn’t track so I’m either 10 dpo or 12 dpo today ( 2 apps estimate differently)

I’ll be doing proper testing (not cheapies) over the weekend too since AF is due monday. At the minute not looking too promising with BFN every day with cheapie tests but I hope I’m not imagining these symptoms or my body is doing something weird suddenly! My boobs been sore for like a week now, earlier today felt almost normal again but in bed now and they are hurting again so I’m very confused.

pmd88 · 27/07/2023 20:51

Anyone have cramping?

CatiaR · 27/07/2023 20:58

Not so much cramping as the occasional twinge.

Ncl31 · 27/07/2023 21:01

I’ve just had slight twinges here and there. No significant cramping

Belle89 · 27/07/2023 21:04

@CatiaR only 8 so testing with cheapies as just can not wait 🙄 keep seeing people get early positives but also aware its wishful thinking.

@pmd88 yes! Some from 2dpo and 5 dpo weird twinges. Sore boobs throughout from ovulation really but hard as normally get sore there in lead up to period.

CatiaR · 27/07/2023 21:08

@Belle89 yeah I thought the same but been having stark BFNs so a bit discouraged now and if this month doesn’t end up positive I don’t want to do the same again its very draining. I couldn’t stop myself from testing but then just getting me in the dumps! Maybe I’m a tad emotional for no reason at all ( I’m an emotional person generally but to be honest I did a little cry on my way to work and I don’t even remember why!) but then getting BFNs so if my body is playing up its mean 🙈

you’re still early so fingers crossed you get a positive result 😊

Belle89 · 27/07/2023 21:08

@pmd88 oh and awful gas, never been so windy!

Belle89 · 27/07/2023 21:15

Aw the emotions may be a sign, not out till you're out

Yea like something going on, well hopefully who knows lol

pmd88 · 27/07/2023 22:57

When would tests be likely to show up?What dpo?

I think 14 dpo is most reliable or day of a missed period. Can show earlier or later.

No cramps here but lots of twinges. Had a horrible feeling of trapped gas last night, was so uncomfortable. Still spotting, no idea what that's about.

I'm 8DPO today and did a test an hour ago, was a 4 hour hold which was a struggle haha. I used a FRER and I swear there's the faintest of lines! I know they can be pretty bad for indents so trying not to be too hopeful, but it was in a 3 pack and the other 2 had absolutely nothing. I wasn't feeling at all hopeful this morning because I don't feel any symptoms today but now I'm just the tiniest bit hopeful!

It's so faint it's hard to see in photos but I'll attach one anyway.

TWW begins today, anyone else?
CatiaR · 28/07/2023 06:23

@Baby3please i think I can see a shadow of a line if I put my brightness up. Fingers crossed for you.

cheapies still giving me BFN at either (11dpo or 13 dpo) the two apps can’t decide. AF is due monday so I’ll use my boots early detection but over the weekend instead of cheapies and see if I get an different results.

still got sore boobs and slight cramping/tightness lower tummy and cervix feels very high but almost feel like my body is playing tricks on me now 🙈

Baby3please · 28/07/2023 07:21

@CatiaR it's soooo so faint. 😅 Thank you. Hopefully you have some better luck with that test, your symptoms sound quite promising. 🤞

CatiaR · 28/07/2023 08:17

@Baby3please thank you! hope so, if not I'd like to know what my body is doing! ahah

Baby3please · 28/07/2023 08:48

I couldn't help myself and tested again! There is for sure a line there! Faint but definitely there and definitely pink. 🥹❤️ Feeling many emotions right now. Will continue to test and hopefully see the line darken. 🤞

CatiaR · 28/07/2023 09:03

@Baby3please looks promising, fingers crossed for you! X

Baby3please · 28/07/2023 09:53

@CatiaR thank you! ❤️ Hopefully you find out what's going on soon.

This is day 8 of spotting for me, so I'm really not sure what that's about.

CatiaR · 28/07/2023 09:55

@Baby3please hopefully its just the IC tests being bad but not counting on it

Hopefully yours progresses into a sticky bean! still early days for you :)

Belle89 · 28/07/2023 10:17

Congratulations @Baby3please definitely see it on the 2nd picture.
I'm 8dpo tomorrow possibly 9. You've given me hope I tested this morning on an IC and negative as to be expected really.

Bizjustgotreal · 28/07/2023 13:12

9 days dpo (estimate) caved and POAS but negative - as expected. Very early and it wasn't morning. TWW sucks 🤣

CatiaR · 28/07/2023 13:38

@Bizjustgotreal indeed its early and it does suck! I have caved and been testing since 7dpo with IC but has been BFN every day, starting to think I have imagined all these symptoms.

Going to test with boots early detection on the weekend since AF is due monday. not too hopefully but maybe my IC were crap!

fingers crossed for you X
