Just wondering if anyone is in the TWW and wants company to keep us sane (aka symptom spot and stare at tests from 6dpo 😅).

Currently 3dpo after ovulating very late in my cycle and already going stir crazy!

Hello 👋🏻 I'm currently 7dpo convinced I had "implantation symptoms" yesterday 🤣🤣. Did a test this morning....negative...naturally 🙄.

Hey, yes please! I’m also 3dpo!

Marie1990x · 15/02/2024 18:28

@onethingonly ooooh you never know! Hopefully you don’t have too long to find out. Fingers and everything crossed! What were your symptoms?

@TTTC24 ahh cycle twins! Can keep each other going for the next couple of weeks 🤣. How are you feeling?

SAME. I’m 8 DPO and did a test like an idiot - ofc it was negative 😂

I’ve had pink bleeding and light cramps for about 3 days now. Definitely not AF so have also convinced myself it’s implantation 🙄 Will see if it stops. I’m a luteal spotter so it’s not even unusual for me.

CoolSummer89 · 15/02/2024 19:33

I am 9DPO. Is there a TWW INsanity group I can join? 😅

Grace185 · 15/02/2024 19:37

Hi guys I'm 7dpo and had a really heavy cramping feeling for 3 days and was trying so hard not to think about it but it got my hopes up and now its stopped :( due AF next Thursday and won't test until then or I'll spiral out of control haha

purplecolouroffunk · 15/02/2024 19:51

@Grace185 I’m in the same boat! AF is also due next Thursday, I’m 8 DPO. I’ve had cramping on and off for a few days but it’s mainly a sort of stabby/twingey feeling.

So hard not trying to think about it isn’t it. Constantly on your mind!

TTTC24 · 15/02/2024 20:14

@Marie1990x yes!! I’m not really feeling anything atm, the plan is to not symptom spot this month but we’ll see 🫣 how are you feeling?

Marie1990x · 15/02/2024 20:17

@CoolSummer89 I think that would have been a more apt title 😂. 9dpo though so you haven’t got much longer to wait!! 🙏🏻.

@Grace185 I wish I had your patience! I know full well I’ll be testing from 7dpo. How do you stay so strong to hold out until AF???

@purplecolouroffunk hopefully that’s a good sign! Yeah it’s SO hard not to constantly think about it. I keep reading threads then thought bugger it I’ll just create one so at least we have others to vent to. I try to put on a semi controlled front to DH so he doesn’t think I’ve gone crazy during the TWW 😂

Marie1990x · 15/02/2024 20:20

@TTTC24 I’m not tooooooo bad at the moment, but there is time 😂. During the first half of the cycle I think “what happens, happens” but as soon as the TWW hits it’s a different story.

I ovulated on CD 19 (OPK and BBT checked), so it’s a few days late so I’m not too hopeful as I’ve read it’s not a good start, but let’s see

OP posts:
Grace185 · 15/02/2024 20:20

@purplecolouroffunk I hope it doesn't arrived for us both on Thursday. I normally spot a day before so I'm hoping I'll be out of my misery before a weeks time!
@TTTC24 not symptoms spotting is quite hard isn't it?! I try to ignore it all and just get on with things!

What DC number us this for everyone and what cycle? I'm cycle 2 with 1 DS who is 2

Overthinkeroverthirty · 15/02/2024 20:27

Yes please I’ll happily join. I think I ovulated today (CD 18) but can’t be sure. This is cycle 2 of trying for no.2. DD has just turned 4.

Marie1990x · 15/02/2024 20:53

TTC #2, already have a DD who is 2. Been trying for around 6 months, but the last 3 have been “properly” trying using opk and temping etc

OP posts:
TTTC24 · 15/02/2024 21:22

@Grace185 yes it’s really hard, I’m going to try my best to keep really busy and hope that it flies by!

omg @Marie1990x we are SO similar. I’m trying for #2, have a DD who is 2 and this is cycle 5 for me! I’ve just been using OPKs not BBT though. How long did you TTC for your DD?

Marie1990x · 15/02/2024 22:09

@TTTC24 omg that’s so bizarre! Hopefully we sync with getting BFP’s too 😊.
With DD we just decided to come off contraception and see what happened, no testing or anything and probably took about 5 months.
How about you?

onethingonly · 15/02/2024 22:14

@Marie1990x

Symptoms were like a stitch pain on my right side on Tuesday and yesterday had pain like I'd done 100 sit ups (I definitely hadn't)! Feelings of heaviness on and off today and some boob tenderness, but I do tend to get sore boobs before AF.

@purplecolouroffunk and @Grace185 AF due around the same time! Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

Grace185 · 15/02/2024 22:46

@onethingonly with my DS I had the shooting pains and really bad thirst but not sure when they actually started but I know before my period.

This time it's been like cramps which kinda scares me as I didn't have it last time like that

Hope we all get our BFPs! When do plan to test everyone?

Marie1990x · 16/02/2024 09:34

@onethingonly that sounds positive, did you retest this morning?

I’ll probably start testing from 7dpo because I’m impatient and stare at stark white tests imagining lines 😂.

does anyone track BBT? I’m doing it but don’t completely understand it and don’t even know what to look out for or even know if I’m doing it correctly

@Marie1990x yes... still nothing 😅 just telling myself it's too early at 8dpo.

Wow your LH levels are high at their peak aren't they. Think mine get to 1.2 at the highest.

I haven't been tracking BBT just using opk strips. Think I might try next cycle if not successful this time. Although I don't sleep too well so not sure I'll be able to remain consistent with it. How are you tracking your BBT?

Marie1990x · 16/02/2024 10:26

@onethingonly yeahhh definitely still time for something to show up 🤞🏻.

haha I know, that’s why I’m not sure I’m doing it correctly 😂. I’m just using the bbt thermometer orally as soon as I wake up. I did have a few wines the night before that big spike and I’ve heard alcohol can affect it so who knows!

This is my bbt chart from when I conceived DD. Although it was the first time using it and was just trying it out to use properly the next cycle, so only started post ovulation, but low and behold I’d conceived

Ooo interesting to see what I’m assuming is an implantation dip at around 5dpo. I have been tracking my BBT for the first time this month and I find it fascinating. Unfortunately my temp has dipped at 10dpo so I think AF is due. But I won’t count myself out fully until she arrives. Should be Tuesday or Wednesday.

Marie1990x · 16/02/2024 16:09

@CoolSummer89 yes I do too! It’s crazy what goes on in your body without even realising!
looking at my bbt chart from when I was pregnant it looks like I had a dip at before my BFP so you never know!

I’ve just had THE strangest thing happen. I was on the sofa (making the most of my toddler having a rare nap), and felt like my lower abdomen was tingling/vibrating. Tried to ignore it and not think anything of it. Just been to the loo (probably about 2 hours after the tingling) and I had small but noticeable amount of blood when I wiped, probably the size of a 50p coin in circumference. I never get spotting in between AF but also know it’s far too early to mean anything significant. I keep going back to check for any more but nothing since. Confuuuuused

onethingonly · 16/02/2024 19:37

@Marie1990x I've heard people describe implantation/early pregnancy signs as tingling! So fingers crossed 🤞🏼

Wow that so good you managed to stay chilled! With my DD we got pregnant first time we tried! I wasn’t expecting that again because I know even if everything is perfect the chances still aren’t amazing so just plodding on each month 😊

UnicornPrincessSarah · 17/02/2024 12:43

Hi Ladies

Im either 2/3 DPO I haven't tracked using opks or BTT as this is my first month trying so didn't want to stress myself out straight away.

Been using Flo, Get Baby and pre mom apps to log my periods in for good few years i normally range 26 to 32 day cycles and ovulate between day 12 and day 18.

For this month we have been DTD every 3 days from the day my period ended would have liked to do every 1 to 2 days but hubby can only manage every 3 days this did land according to 1 app 2 days before ovulation and another app day of ovulation, we still carrying on with DTD every 4 days for the rest of this month though just in case ovulation was late.

We did have a fertility health check done last year sperm was fine and my bloods and scans came back fine aswell.

14th Feb i did have possible ovulation pains on my left side all day around where my ovaries are and also my hip join pains carried on until lunchtime on 15th Feb, my Discharge though sorry Tmi wasn't Egg white and was just supper wet so been using pre seed lube last few times we been DTD.

Today im having light belly cramps and constipation and also a tender sore throat and feeling like my ears are blocked but maybe a cold coming who knows?
