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!

@Marie1990x @LI94 Haha thank you for the second opinions! That was exactly how I felt when I got it but then I convinced myself that it's nothing 😅🤣 I'll probably test again tomorrow morning which would be 48 hours after the picture above so will let you know!

I bought a 20-pack of cheapies on Amazon and I have around 15 or so left with 1 week to go till AF. I think I'm just going to test whenever I feel like it this cycle and be more strict next cycle. It's my first cycle so I'm just in the process of understanding everything still 🙃

Ahh yes I might test tomorrow morning too, depending on how I feel! It's my first cycle too so know how you feel - sounds like we're in the exact same situation haha 😄😆

Morning all,

I thought I was 8DPO but I kept tracking and it turns out I’m actually the day of ovulation today at CD25! Here’s to restarting the TWW.

Fingers crossed there will be some BFPs on here soon! Wishing everyone lots of luck x

@Overthinkeroverthirty oh gosh bet that was a surprise! What were you checking ovulation with before?

I did my frer this morning and BFN, so I’m not doing any more now and waiting for AF

@Marie1990x it really was. I had a positive CB digital on CD 17 which is about right for my cycles but never got a positive on the dip OPK. I started getting EWCM and pains again a few days later so started testing with the dip tests again and have now had a positive on those and on a CB digital at CD 25. Madness, I think my body is trying very hard to ovulate bless it! Annoyingly I can’t DTD again as hubby is poorly so I have to hope 3 days before ovulation will do it.

Fingers crossed for you, the wait is awful and it’s just downright mean that the symptoms for pregnancy and pre-AF are the same!

@Overthinkeroverthirty ahh interesting! At least you know you're now ovulating - hope this month is your month!

@Marie1990x ahh I also tested this morning and negative. Getting stronger AF like cramps now so think I might be out! Probably will do one more test at the weekend then if negative just wait for AF to come

Hi Ladies hope your all ok

@Overthinkeroverthirty Having you been doing BBT as well as opks? as i have heard some people do opks and get a positive but it could actually show up positive because you are pregnant not 100% sure about this though just what I have read in forums

Im 7/8 Dpo still not testing but still keeping a diary of my symptoms

Before going to bed and this morning i woke up with a swollen lump feeling in my throat didn't hurt to swallow or not scratchy just tender, went away about 1 hour after waking up. Have some tightness in my left hip area and bum cheek when sitting down, the lumber part of my back in the middle feels a slight stretch sensation, few twinges in the upper part of my uterus, Feeling a bit tired/ warn out feeling or like i have done a biog long workout and body needs to recover lol

@UnicornPrincessSarah I have actually just started BBT as I know it’s the best way of knowing if it’s actually happened. DD is a rubbish sleeper so I’ve struggled to do it properly before. I did get a dip and then a rise this morning so hoping that was it. I did do a pregnancy test as I’d heard the same, but sadly not.

Fingers crossed for you and a BFP soon. Are you going to wait for AF or do you have a DPO in mind?

@Overthinkeroverthirty Oh no, im a bit of a bad sleeper myself, as this is my first month propley trying i didnt do opks or temp, just been dtd every 3 days from period ended and carrying on past possible ovulation to cover us

I'm going to wait till AF is late i can range from a 28 to 32-day cycle so maybe give it to 34 days then test if no sign

Have my blood test tomorrow to see if i did ovulate this month though by my progestin score

@UnicornPrincessSarah that’s a good way to do it, at least you know one of them was definitely at the right time.

Oh good luck, hope it’s positive. Out of interest did you book it privately or did you sort it through your doctor? I’d love to know if I’m definitely ovulating but the tests seem expensive.

@Overthinkeroverthirty Yeah thats what we thought surely would cover us lol, was meant to DTD today to but don't think we will as im in pain and tired dont it 5 times so far this month though lol if not BFP DH needs to up his game lol

I booked via the gp i just asked them if i can have it done as like you say private is quite a bit of money and its good to track for 3 months really to see if any issues and that can add up

@UnicornPrincessSarah haha I keep saying that! It’s hard to stop it becoming a chore.

Ooh that’s interesting thanks. I might contact mine then and see if they will do one for me. You have to do it 7 days after you ovulate don’t you. Hope yours is positive tomorrow.

@Overthinkeroverthirty Yes ideally 7 days but it also depends on your cycle they say 7 days before the period is due mine can come 28th to 4th lol

tomorrow ill be 8/9dpo but my clinics to have the test done been going fast for appointments so if period comes 28th be 5 days before the period comes and thank you

How is everyone doing? @Ginny2018 did you test again? I did again and negative, so 90% sure I'm out this month, oh well! Just waiting for AF now as want to be able to just relax! Due on Tuesday and cramping now so we'll see

I did test this morning and negative again. I did feel something weird yesterday in my lower abdomen which makes me hope that was implantation still, so I'm keeping out some hope. AF due Wednesday so it's still early. At this point I gave myself permission to keep testing until AF, I have about 14 cheapies left and they're like 7 euros on Amazon for 20 so I already reordered them for next cycle 🤣 Next time I'll be better!

@LI94 how many dpo are you again?

For those of you who are on IG, is your feed also completely filled with pregnancy announcements and newborns? Must be because of my obsessive Google behavior of the last 2 weeks 🤭

@LI94 Oh no sorry to hear still a negative test but also remember its still early to i have even heard some ladies done show till maybe 5/6 weeks pregnant so unless AF show dont count yourself out, and also sometimes pms symptoms can mimic pregnancy as well so its never easy to tell.

@Ginny2018 If I'm a 28-day cycle I'm Due the same day as you as well, my symptoms have pretty much disappeared today. i have also noticed my cervix is still down low aswell but its closed.

as my cycles can vary I'm holding off testing myself until im 1/2 weeks late as have had cycles where i was 2 weeks late before

@UnicornPrincessSarah I'm also quite irregular since taking out my IUD, my AF date is also for a 28 day cycle. But wow what SELF control to not test until 2 weeks late!! Wish I had that haha. Is this your first cycle trying?

@Ginny2018 Yes our first proper cycle trying, last month we DTD in my fertile window not realising but didn't work out for us or wasn't to be.

When i was 18 i found out at 5 weeks i was pregnant and then lost the baby at 7 weeks, im 34 now and think im just scared of seeing negatives and then knowing what my cycles can be like i wanted to try to avoid disappointment as can affect us emotionally i think as well as mentally

is this your first cycle as well?

@UnicornPrincessSarah I'm so sorry to hear that.. Honestly it scares me so much to think about the fact that even if I do get a bfp soon, until the 8-week scan you really don't know anything.

Yes it's my first cycle as well, I'm 27 and before meeting my boyfriend i never thought i wanted kids, 22 year old me would be very surprised to see me peeling on sticks daily now. 😅

@Ginny2018 hahaha my sister said she never wanted children and then had her son in October 2023 she 33 one and done for her she says lol.

yes my partner said we may do the early scan for peace of mind but won't tell people till 12 week scan has been done

Would like to know from ladies who have been pregnant as at 18 i didn't really use the internet or know too much, does it matter if the cervix is still med/low but closed?

Yes true it's still early! 🤞 Hoping my cramps are just implantation but they definitely feel more like AF cramps. I also have a box of amazon cheapies so will probably keep testing each morning until AF!

So sorry to hear that @UnicornPrincessSarah 😔 really hope this month is the one for you.

I'm 29 and this is our first cycle, also think we would pay to do the early scan for peace of mind.

How early is the early scan for you? I live in Italy and honestly haven't done much research of when and how to do what 😅 I hope to do an 8 week scan which i thought was the earliest for a heartbeat?

Thank you, and keeping my fingers corrsed you get your BFP soon

Well hip pain has returned tonight but still just in the left hip like its tight
and just noticed my nipples hurt to touch tmi but normally like them rubbed and little pinch but omg tried a min ago and felt like i had a peg on them or they where bruised lol.

some mins i think I'm out others i think I'm in so only time will tell i suppose, hubby was saying today he doesn't like seeing me get emotional that i may not be pregnant and just to try take things as they are and then he says wait till period 2 weeks late going to be hard but i have had some cyles where im 2 weeks i suppose he just dont want me disappointment and more emotional.

@LI94 I'm in London uk so nhs first scan is 12 weeks we can go private for early scan think this is 6 to 8 week nots 100% sure

Hi All, could you help me please and tell me if you can see the vvvvv faint line on this? Is it just an indent?😬 I started spotting brown blood this morning (12dpo) which is not like me so just tested but this was not my FMU so will have to test again tomorrow morning 🤞
