TWW sanity group

[Marie1990x]

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!

@SophT27 aw I'm sorry to hear it was negative. 9-10dpo is still very early though so you never know!

I too have been having shooting boob pains and particularly nauseous today. Have been for a past couple of days but today way more. That's really unusual for me and is one of the main reasons I'm holding on to hope.

The other big thing for me is that these cramps just haven't stopped since just after ovulation. I feel pulls on my ovaries and a low gripe almost constantly, but never very sore or like AF cramps.

I'm trying not to hope this means pg and that it's just something to do with the B6 I started taking a few weeks ago and maybe it's raised my progesterone 😂

Going to test on Thursday (day AF due and 15dpo).

@purplecolouroffunk you are describing how I have been feeling since around ovulation. My pelvis feels really odd today, not quite cramps but a weird feeling all day. Almost like a buzzy/fizzy feeling with a bit of a dull ache - but I have been sat on my arse all day in a zoom training event. I can’t even recall feeling that before.

I will maybe wait until Thursday to test now. Or even maybe Friday as I’m not working then. But the devil on my shoulder will probably win. I’m not generally a serial tester and most months I don’t bother at all, but this month something has felt different. But I’m probably completely wrong.

@SophT27 UGH I feel you. We're experiencing really similar things!

My womb/pelvis feels really odd too, and almost like it's making me need to pee more, which I have been doing. But again, could be the progesterone. My aches have all been round my ovaries and almost feel a bit like ovulation pain. Totally new for me at this time of month.

I'm with ya on that devil. It's so hard not to test. Weirdly I've lost all urge to test this month, so think I'm going to bide my time til at least Thursday.

I can see this line too! Are you going to test again tomorrow/soon?

@SophT27 there's also something weird going on with my stomach. I'll eat something and then a few minutes later I'll have this sort of hollow feeling like I haven't eaten anything at all. It's making me feel like I'm insatiably hungry 😂 And is generally making me feel a queasy/unsettled stomach feeling.

Have you been feeling anything like that?

This month i have noticed the symptoms i had last month are different to this month so its very worthwhile if you can write them down so you compare if this month was a fluke or maybe something you will have going forward but can compare.

last month for me i was in a lot of pain from ovulation ending until the period came and got very angry like the hulk and then crying outbursts to.

This month I have had so far a scratchy throat 2/3dpo this has now gone, but what has stayed is a side stitch pain around my left him area and waist level in my front and back, and my boobs feel like they are being stretched sideways lol, and tmi my bowels have stopped working, i suffer from ibs and normally going multiple times a day

@SophT27 No Signs of AF for me but im still 9 days out as due 28th Feb, so im around 5/6dpo

Didn't have a good sleep and struggled to stay asleep then when i woke up at 8am felt like i had been hit by a truck my whole body ached and felt so tired

Been having left-side hip pain like a bruised/stitched feeling and some pinching sensation around waist height on my left side to, had some shooting pains go down my left thigh as well very strange as this one is new for me. hurts more to sit down. Cant go toilet bowels stopped working lol

My boobs bit painful at the top of my chest around my ribs and at the sides of my boobs.

So the symptoms im having are a lot different to last month's as last month i was having horrible pains under the belly button utures felt tender to touch and heavy and my lower back like AF cramps and also very bloated 24.7 and painful boobs that hurt to touch, a lot of headaches and some nausea, angry outbursts, crying outbursts, loose bowels, rumbling belly could hear it out loud,

I think that deff could be a faulty test im afraid

my sister kept telling me to test last month with my symptoms but kept getting negatives and another reason im going to wait this month to test untill im late as it did effect me as i was like why did my body give me the pains if im not pregnant

@SSophT27 strangely my symptoms have almost gone today, a bit of cramping and slightly sore boobs - usually would have really sore boobs by now! Starting to think I didn't ovulate maybe 🤔

@MaMarie1990x ahh yes I see something too! Fingers crossed this is your month 🤞

@UnicornPrincessSarah yes good idea, have been making a few notes on my app but think I'll add more detailed notes from now on so I can compare!

Interesting, have heard your immune system can be lower in early pregnancy (my friend had a cold/cough for months when she found out she was pregnant). A lot of my symptoms have gone now, only very mild cramping occasionally and boobs aren't really very sore. They did hurt and feel quite sore when my hyper 1 year old dog decided to jump on me but think that would have hurt either way haha 🤣

@purplecolouroffunk I've also had pain around my ovaries most days like ovulation pains, and have been cramping on and off since I think I ovulated. Might test this weekend maybe! Although my app says to wait until 4th March to test?! Don't think I can wait that long! 😭

Hopefully we'll see the extra pink line soon 💗

@purplecolouroffunk if you can hold off, I would. I have been googling about negative tests and DPO and it said that only 10% of pregnancies test positive at 10DPO or less. And it’s best to wait till 12DPO. I’m roughly 9DPO so I think I’m going to try and wait till at least 12 will be Friday.

I have maybe needed to go to the toilet more, I can’t usually hold it all day but I went at least 4-5 times while at work today.

it’s weird how we are having similar symptoms isn’t it. I’m so glad I’m keeping a log so that when AF inevitably arrive and I feel all this again next month I can look back and right myself.

@LI94 dont count yourself out yet. It isn’t that over until the fat lady sings, or AF arrives.

@UnicornPrincessSarah I think it is a faulty test. Which is gutting, but it is what it is. I’ve had cramps since ovulation, but today it’s a lot less and feels more like a bubbling or fizzing feeling. I’ve stopped spotting too. AF is due in 5 days.

@purplecolouroffunk @SophT27 you have more patience than me! I’d love to say I won’t test for a few days but I know I’ll be doing it first thing in the morning.

@LI94 I’m glad others can see it too. It was in the timeframe but not sure if there’s any colour to it. See what happens in the next few days

My temp dropped this morning. No AF yet but I imagine it will start overnight or tomorrow morning. Literally can’t wait for this next cycle to start - bored of waiting for AF now

Sharing my chart in case it’s of interest to TWW-ers

@SophT27 how are you doing today? Friday sounds like a good plan to test for you. Tbh I was tempted to wait until then too. It’ll be 16dpo for me but I can’t be bothered with potentially a false negative.

It is funny we’re both experiencing the same symptoms. I’ve been keeping the most detailed log this month cause I’ve felt so different, so will be really useful to look back on.

I feel ill this morning 😩 I’ve had a sore throat every morning for like a week but this morning also have a banging headache and feel sick. I’m giving a big presentation at work later today so that’s great 😂

@Marie1990x let us know how you get on if you do test today!

@CoolSummer89 interesting to see your chart! I love seeing other people’s.

I’ve only been doing mine since 9dpo so don’t have much of a reference point. It dropped yesterday so was like ah AF is coming but then it’s popped back up again today, so who knows.

Premom says AF due today but Flo says tomorrow and has way more past data, so I’ll go by that.

@CoolSummer89 i hope it doesn’t arrive! When did you last test? I’ve looked back at my chart when I was pregnant and mine dropped the day I got my BFP so you never know until she’s here!

@purplecolouroffunk was just going to post this! I did retest but it’s basically exactly the same as yesterday so I think it’s definitely just an evap/indent

@Marie1990x hmm I definitely see a faint line! Is it likely you’d get two evaps? Are the tests from the same box?

How many DPO are you now?

Also encouraging to hear about your temp dip!

@purplecolouroffunk i think I’ve just got a bad batch tbh. Yeah it was a pack of 2 and both from the same box. I ordered some frer’s on Amazon that should arrive today so I’ll test tomorrow or Friday with them, and if they’re bfn then I’ll give up. Lost hope again now but it is what it is.

I’m 9dpo so I know still early to be testing, but just have a feeling it’s not my month.

when did you last test?

@Marie1990x damn that’s so rubbish and unfair that they were faulty ones.

Yeah defo early for you so don’t give up hope just yet! I know the feeling though when you convince yourself it’s not happening. I feel a bit like that just now tbh.

I tested on Sunday which was 11dpo and then got really fed up of getting BFNs, so decided to stop until Thursday (15dpo). But tbh I might just wait to see if AF arrives tomorrow and maybe test Friday if not. I’ve weirdly lost all urge to test, I think cause don’t want to see the BFN and would rather just see AF.

I have so many unusual symptoms this month but have totally convinced myself it’s the B6 I started taking 2 weeks ago.

@purplecolouroffunk it’s just an absolute mind f**k isn’t it! That’s good that you’re patient enough to wait until then. Agree it’s easier to see AF than more bfn’s.

What tests are you using?

I googled and found a thread on here with pics of boots tests that look like mine. They all ended up BFP’s with everyone saying they’ve never had evaps on them and looked like the line gets stronger after 11dpo 🤔 I’m still not convinced.

Annoyingly I actually have to go to boots today so I’m going to have to try stay strong and not buy more 😂

@Marie1990x oh well that’s interesting!! Could you try with another test maybe when you’re ready? FRER?

I just used the cheapie easy@home ones from 9-11dpo. All stark white. I read some people saying they got stark whites on easy@home and pos on FRER, so initially had to fight the urge to run out and get a FRER 😂

My pink spotting has dried up now which is very typical before AF, so fully expecting her tomorrow.

Ahhh stay strong in Boots! You can do it! Just think of the disappointment of a BFN.

@purplecolouroffunk I tested again this morning and it was negative. I’ve got a dull ache in my pelvis again this morning so I really do think I’m out this month.

I will be so grateful for the log I’ve kept next month so as not to get my hopes up.

I feel a bit blue this morning, which is probably a sign that AF is o the way.

how are you doing?

Yep sounds similar to me!

Ooft March 4th is a whiley away?! Is that the Flo app by any chance? It always says to test so far in the future!
