TWW

[h0lly88]

Anyone else currently in the two week wait? I'm currently 4dpo (third month of trying) feeling a little better and less impatient this month but also still counting down the days to test! Would love to chat with people at this stage!

Hi! 5dpo and trying not to take notice of every little twinge 🙈 Not doing so well! Ttc #1. Feeling hopeful but what will be will be! How are you doing?

Hey! I’m good so far I feel a little calmer and more patient this month but still also impatient haha. It’s so difficult not to symptom spot everything isn’t it!

I hope your calmness rubs off on me lol. I was so close to testing this morning but knew it would probably be bfn so not point doing that to myself. I'm am trying not get hung up on symptom spotting but yeah it's so hard. Keep telling myself it's probably just trapped wind 😂 Is this baby no1 for you?

I'm almost identical stage to you - 5 DPO today. Trying for second baby. Second month of trying.
First baby I got pregnant really quickly but had 2 miscarriages.

My wee smelt of asparagus yesterday and I'm sure I saw someone say that was a pregnancy symptom for them? But nothing comes up when I google it.

Good luck everyone!

@Butterfly2000 it’s so difficult isn’t it! I feel like this month is going mega fast which I’m grateful for haha, my first two months trying I was symptom spotting every tiny thing and buying so many tests! 😂 yes baby number 1!
how you feeling today? When is AF due?

@NinaGeiger so sorry to hear about your miscarriages. :( hopefully you get some positive news asap!

iv not heard of the asparagus one haha but I hope it is a symptom of a BFP coming your way!
I keep waking up very hungry, but I think that’s just me 😂

@h0lly88 thank you!
I managed to find a few posts on here where other women said about asparagus but nothing outside of Mumsnet!
I also was ravenous yesterday! Fingers crossed.
With my first baby I remember there was one day in the TWW when I felt really sick and unwell and then I got the BFP 5 days later, so I went on to think the unwell day was implantation?
I think I felt a bit like that yesterday so maybe yesterday was implantation? Having said that, last month I was convinced I was pregnant but wasn't.
Sending positive vibes your way!

@NinaGeiger I'm the same with the hunger! Woke up in the early hours hungry and hungry again now.
Everything is so similar to AF its frustrating.
@h0lly88 AF due in 7 days. I'm 8dpo today. Still some niggles in my tummy. I tested yesterday evening 🙈 bfn of course. Had a real feeling of fullness yesterday evening and early this morning. Was so bloated I couldn't even sleep on my stomach lastnight! I don't temp but got so hot in the night I woke up a bit sweaty thos morning. I've been using the proov tests as I've had low progesterone previously and the levels are still up thankfully so I definitely ovulated.
I'm quite tired too. Basically I'd just like to go back to bed and eat lol! 😂

Are either of you tracking anything or using any apps?
Really hope we all get a bfp x

@Butterfly2000 yeah I'm knackered as well.

The only app I'm using is Clue, which I've been recording my periods on for like 10 years! This was the first month I took ovulation tests. Second month of trying. I think I'm 6 DPO today

@NinaGeiger @Butterfly2000
Ooo that's interesting! Fingers crossed it is implantation!
I'm 7dpo today, period due in 5 days (my cycles are pretty regular so hopefully means not too long to wait now to find out either way!)

I track my periods with Flo and track ovulation with sticks, find them hard to read sometimes though so I could be off a day or so on my ovulation!

So much hunger! Just want to eat all the time haha but I think that is also my usual symptom the week before period!

@Butterfly2000 hahaha I was testing early last month, just felt like I had to and until I did I couldn't get on with my day as it was all I could think about 😅

I use Clue and half use premom as I can upload my opk pics and it gives me a result. I'm gonna try not to test until 10/12dpo now. Felt a sick eating brekkie today and had to nap on my lunch break
10years @NinaGeiger that's a good lot of data! I only started tracking a few yrs ago for my period and pms symptoms. Glad it's almost the weekend!

hope you felt better after your nap! @Butterfly2000

I think I’m going to test Sunday which maybe still early as I’ll be 10DPO then! But I won’t be able to hold out past that!

fingers crossed for you both!!

@Butterfly2000 do you want to make a pact not to test before 10-12 days?

Ideally I want to hold out until like 14 days because I think it takes me a while to get a positive and I don't want to waste tests and also the emotional rollercoaster! But I might cave by like day 12

@h0lly88 I did but could have slept for longer. Having a chulled evening tonight anyway.
@NinaGeiger I think a pact would probably good idea! 😂 Just need to keep busy. I've made plans for tomorrow evening and got a meeting up trial for my friends wedding on Saturday. I'll try and hold out till Sat/Sun at least so I'll be 10/11dpo. We can do this!
Any plans for the weekend ladies?

@Butterfly2000 My parents are visiting Saturday / Sunday so that will hopefully keep me pre occupied!

A wedding trial sounds like a very nice way to be distracted!

I’m in the 2 week wait club! It’s such a drag isn’t it! And all I seem to do is symptom spot. 🤦‍♀️🤣. X

Can I join?
Currently 3 or 4dpo ?! OPK didn't totally match with BBT which stressed me out a little 🤣 already looking for any sign or symptom. Ttc number 2 and it happened fast with Dd1 but I have endometriosis so don't feel like I'll be lucky twice!

@h0lly88 and @Butterfly2000 your plans sound lovely!
It's our daughter's 2nd birthday so we're taking her to Diggerland as she's obsessed with construction vehicles!
I've had a couple of waves of nausea and I've got a terrible headache. Lots of twinges in my stomach.

I'm 7DPO today so halfway there.
Welcome @HettieMama and @Tarn85

Hi @NinaGeiger

I was a little confused I’m currently 9dpo not 7dpo ! I’m still learning how to work stuff out 🤣🤦‍♀️ I have done the cervix test that I was reading up about this morning and my cervix is hard and low so I’m feeling massively disappointed 😓 I think I’m ruled out for conception this month. Hope you all have a lovely day x

I'd love to join in! For some reason I feel quite calm in the TWW as I know it is completely out of my hands! Im more crazy in the fertile week as feel quite pressured to DTD 😂 I only use the flo app to track and so I'm around 8DPO today, not long to go! I tend to hold out to test until the day of my missed period

Hi @Vic231

it sends us crazy doesn’t it! I have literally got obsessed and I vowed I wouldn’t do it to myself this time! 🤦‍♀️ I have also had lots of cramps and twinges but due to my cervix drop I really don’t think I can be pregnant this month. So now I have just got in my head that I’m not pregnant and try again next cycle. It sounds like you are having the right symptoms 👌. Good luck hun xx

Morning all! 9dpo today, got stuff going on so feeling a bit anxious but trying to stay relaxed - not easy.
@NinaGeiger Diggerland sounds like something my nephew would love, will have to mention it to my sis.
@h0lly88 Keeping occupied is key lol.
Hi @Tarn85 and @Vic231 I've had a couple of crazy days lol. I know what you mean about dtd, I'm fairly calm until then!
@HettieMama I was the same around 3/4dpo even though I knew I would feel any different 😂
Hope everyone has a lovey sunny day

Hey all, I’m cd23 4dpo according to the cb digital opk. Word of warning @Vic231 I was only using Flo app to track for the first 8 months and occasionally using those cheapo opk strips which never worked for me and turned out when I finally shelled out for clearblue digital that Flo had got my fertile week wildly wrong! I had literally NEVER had sex around my actual ovulation in 8 months of ttc… gutted! Tbf my ovulation is quite late and time & energy limited with a sleepless toddler about so maybe we just should have had more sex but I scheduled it on Flo’s prediction and I really regret it now!

Do you have a link to how to do the cervix check @Tarn85 ? I don’t know why I need to stress myself out by adding another way to track but I’m curious now!

Hi @PuddleSplosher I don’t have link I just noticed lots of comments about woman checking there cervix, you basically just have to feel in side your vagina and you can feel it, some times it can be awkward if it is high up but if it’s low down you can feel it easily. The joys of been a women! 🤣men just don’t realise how easy they have it!

How's everyone doing? Anyone close to test date? I'm 5dpo and other than a few twinge/pulling feelings nothing yet
