Page 6 | 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

Hi everyone,

AF arrived for yesterday. I'm trying to look at it as a positive and we're one cycle closer.

I know there were quite a few testing this weekend. How did you all get on? X

Bizjustgotreal · 01/08/2023 18:39

@Belle89 snake egg?

AF due tomorrow, assuming my cycle hasn't gone doolally.

Thank you, and congratulations to you also!

Scrolling back through the thread, I see our descriptions of symptoms are very similar! I feel a pang of discomfort in my uterus whenever I laugh or cough, almost like having a full bladder. Do you also have this?

Also, what's your expected due date?

Not so much now, but I did have something similar. Lots of weird sensations. My app says 11th of April, so somewhere around there. How about you? Are you still testing?

Bizjustgotreal · 02/08/2023 05:39

I've had all the symptoms of AF's arrival but this FMU I used my last early results test; the Clear Blue digital.

Pregnant 1-2 weeks apparently. I'm not telling any except for DH as it's so early (and you, my fellow TTCers). I'll take another test if AF doesn't come, but even if she does, I'm reassured immensely. It's exactly 28 days since I started having my MC, and that was on cycle 5 so have been quite worried.

@Bizjustgotreal congrats! Hope for a sticky bean for you ❤️

@Bizjustgotreal congrats, how many dpo when testing on a digital?

Bizjustgotreal · 02/08/2023 11:56

Thanks @CatiaR and @mahii95 !

@mahii95 your guess is as good mine 🤣 I don't track ovulation so it'd be from 20th July approx at the latest ovulation.

I tested a couple of days ago and got BFNs. Today my period is due, and the test was BFP with FMU.

I'm due 11 April too! I haven't tested since 11 DPO, as I was getting upset my lines hadn't progressed in 2 days. My period would be due today so I'm going to do a final test tomorrow at 14DPO. After that, no more testing. I'm still very much experiencing symptoms, fullness in pelvic areas, nausea, sore boobs and cramping. How've you been feeling these last few days?

Baby3please · 03/08/2023 09:00

@Bizjustgotreal congratulations! ❤️

@HelgaPatakisDiary oh how cool! I probably should've calmed down with my testing too because it had me so stressed out wondering if it was darker or not. I'm 14dpo today and have 2 FRER left, so I'll use those up at some point but no more daily testing. I got a 2-3 on a digital today when I was only expecting 1-2 so I cried happy tears. Ooh those are all good signs! I've had quite a bit of nausea and lack of appetite, or even when I'm hungry everything seems unappealing. Also sore boobs every now and then. I've been getting quite bloated too.

I've got a midwife appointment tomorrow afternoon to organise a scan and bloods etc. I'm gonna see if I can get a dating scan as I will be a nervous wreck if I have to wait until 12 weeks! 😣

I've attached my tests from today. The FRER confused me a bit but I think it just didn't have much dye in it.

How exciting you've already got an appointment! I need to choose my hospital of choice and book one in. Like you, I think I'm going to go for an early 6-week scan but may need to go private for that.

Those lines are looking good. I completely understand the relief when the tests show progress. I've also attached mine... I was crying at 11DPO due to the lack of progression, and then cried again today when I saw the dark line at 14DPO.

Also feeling funny with food, but my sweet tooth has disappeared. My boyfriend is shocked that the pack of cupcakes he bought 2 days ago are still untouched.

Yeah she got me in super quick! Not many midwives left here so you really have to be onto it. 😬 They won't do a dating scan unless I have a reason for needing it, but my midwife said she can just say I have irregular periods and that's enough to get one. However she's booked me in for bloods, first lot tomorrow then weekly for a couple of weeks to check my hormones then we'll see about doing a scan. I wasn't referred for bloods this early in my other pregnancies so this is new for me, will be good to find out how my hcg is going.

Oh wow that last test looks way better! I bet you felt so relieved to see that!

Same here, I'm not into sweet things at the moment. Took a bite of chocolate last night and thought no thank you haha.

I said I wouldn't test but I ended up grabbing some more tests today while doing groceries as they had FRER with new packaging showing dark pink caps so I thought hey I'll see what these new ones are like! Anyway turns out they look exactly the same, still have the see through caps. 🤦🏼‍♀️ On the bright side I got my dye stealer at 15dpo so I'm happy. ❤️

Thank you, Belle. I hope to see you updating with good news next month - sending my good wishes to you.

Hi all! I’m Lucy, been ttc for 4 months now. AF due Monday. This TWW has felt like an eternity!

mahii95 · 05/08/2023 17:51

Hi @luc243 when are you testing? Sending baby dust ✨

luc243 · 05/08/2023 17:54

@mahii95 probably Tuesday or Wednesday. I haven’t taken any pregnancy tests since TTC as have been super regular each month with a 31 day cycle. Holding out as long as pos!

mahii95 · 05/08/2023 18:02

You have some serious will power.. I'm trying not to test until 15dpo day AF is due or later.. stupidly caved at 9dpo and got a stark white BFN which was so disheartening even though it was bound to be negative at 9dpo 😫

luc243 · 05/08/2023 23:03

I think I find it easier to wait as I can have a bit more hope until I know for sure I’m out when AF comes or not. Also only have one pregnancy test in the house so I’ve got to make it count! Here’s hoping we’re lucky this month ✨

luc243 · 06/08/2023 11:32

I think AF is going to arrive a day early for me. Got all the signs today. I guess that’ll be me out for this cycle 😮‍💨 genuinely thought this month was our month.

mahii95 · 06/08/2023 13:48

Aww I'm sorry 😞 I hope she doesn't actually arrive and the signs turn into pregnancy symptoms x @luc243

luc243 · 06/08/2023 16:24

Hasn’t started yet and I was feeling like it was imminent earlier so who knows what is going on! 😅🤞🏻
