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!

Quick update: still no AF… but I still feel those twinges in the uterus as if my period was about to start. Been feeling this since DPO5

im wearing a pad as it feels like AF can come at anytime now.
last night the cramping was bad, I took a paracetamol and was so sure AF would start overnight…. But still nothing, and the cramping is very mild now.

this cycle is so unusual for me. Usually when I start cramping is because the bleeding is imminent

@UnicornPrincessSarah Thank you, it's turned into a lot of brown discharge now so I now that AF will arrive later today. I've had a good cry about it too yesterday night, just because I don't understand and I was honestly convinced I would be pregnant (delisional? who knows..) Is your partner supportive? I noticed that mine (although comforting me) didn't really understand my emotions because it's only our first month trying, but I think it was just a release of so many built up emotions over the last 2 weeks

@LI94 How are you today?

I'll be ovulating again around the 13th :)

@Ginny2018 Oh no sorry to hear this is this what normally happens for you before AF comes? last month i had watery pink spotting the evening before and that morning then an hour later AF started in full. If it does turn into full AF for you which i hope it dont you will maybe see how your body can play tricks on you and hopefully next month your be able to spot some signs, Yeah my partner is supportive he dont like seeing me in pain even last month with all the new symptoms he even thought i was pregnant aswell so we was both shocked when i started to bleed was only a 3 day bleed for me though normally im a 5 day but did a test again after bleed and was still BFN as i was having pains after my bleed last month. He just doesn't like to keep spending money on tests so he wants me to hold out now till im late and he also says will avoid our disappointment as well. I don't think he fully understands what us ladies go through with our emotions though and how bad we want things or how we may feel like a failure or our bodies failing us.

Not had any more spotting myself just the one glob sat evening and one glob last night this morning its back to wet watery yellow/ white discharge but only in cervix nothing falling out, im due in 1/ 2 days i dont really have any cramps, just have fatigue, i don't even have my acene like i normally would so very strange, not been angry this month either lucky hubby lol.

Hi Kitty Fingers crossed AF stays away, have you been writing your symptoms down so you can track for next month if needed thats what im doing myself as these tww symptoms can be a right kick in the ass, last month i had stuff i never had before and AF come, this month im completely different its very interesting what our bodies and symptoms do to us aswell as stressful and annoying

@Ginny2018 I'm so sorry to hear that, so rubbish 😭 I'm finding it so hard not to get my hopes up, especially when the signs are so similar to a period 😣

AF hasn't arrived yet, but getting cramps and wearing a pad as feel like it could start any minute. Plus another negative test this morning so don't think it's my month either unfortunately!

Marie1990x · 26/02/2024 13:27

@UnicornPrincessSarah thank you ☺️ I’m feeling ok tbf. I’m a great believer in everything happens for a reason, so it just wasn’t meant to be this time.
I hope so! I bought it on a whim and completely forgot about it so will be interesting what it comes back with

@TTTC24 I can definitely see something there, but I’ve been stung with indents on frer’s in the past. Hoping it is the start of a BFP! Did you retest?

Hey yeah must have been indent - AF came on Monday right on time! How are you?

TTTC24 · 27/02/2024 19:00

Onto cycle 6 for me. Is anyone doing anything specific whilst TTC? Like not drinking alcohol/caffeine etc? Next cycle I’ve got me and partner conception vitamins and also going to try the fertilily cup - anyone tried this before? Good luck everyone ✨

UnicornPrincessSarah · 27/02/2024 19:14

@LI94 Hope the cramps are maybe a baby settling as have heard stories of having PMS cramps in early pregnancy not to get your hopes up but also hope its not the witch either.

@TTTC24 Not tested yet as my period is not late but this month i dtd every 3 months from the date period ended and stoped 3 days before im due this is 28th Feb, Used pre seed lube, ate pineapple and the core, pomegranate seeds and a lot of fruit, took a lot of vitamins and started to workout again. sorry to hear you got your Af though and fingers crossed next month is a better month for you,

I dont drink alcohol or tea and coffee anyway so not missing this one myself but i do have herbal teas, i also dont do takeaways and last year i cut out all foods that had seed oils like rapeseed and sunflower in them as these can be quiet bad for the body the oils, since then i havent even got a cold lol

Marie1990x · 27/02/2024 19:28

@TTTC24 sorry to hear af came 😔. It’s always disappointing but at least you’re one cycle closer to your BFP!

Yeah I’m good thank you. We’re not going to “try” this month. No OPK’s or temping; but if it happens it happens. Only because it’s DD’s bday early Dec so if I did catch on it would be pretty much the same date 😂.

I didn’t/haven’t cut anything out. I’ve started eating a lot healthier, but that’s just for myself and nothing to do with ttc

Which conception vitamins did you get? I tried conceive plus before and it completely messed up my cycles. I ended up having like 60 day cycles so will never use them again

@UnicornPrincessSarah will have to keep us updated! When will test day be? Sorry if you’ve said before, I can’t keep up 😂

UnicornPrincessSarah · 27/02/2024 19:39

@Marie1990x Thank you, I'm due anytime from 28th Feb up to 4th march if 28 to 32 day cycle, but have been 2 weeks late before, so I was thinking maybe Friday 8th march to test just to cover som extra dates but then hubby said well what about the time you was 2 weeks late so then that puts testing to 14th March lol, so will have to see who wins the battle on this one lol i only have 2 tests left a clear blue early decation and asda one that's 25 mui

Hi @UnicornPrincessSarah , sadly AF just started :(

Ahh sorry to hear that @Kitty337 😞

My AF still hasn't arrived but tested negative again this morning, so thinking I didn't ovulate this month maybe! Feel like the test would be positive by now, used an easy at home test that is meant to detect pregnancy 5 days early. Typical the first month we ttc I didn't ovulate!!

UnicornPrincessSarah · 28/02/2024 21:53

@LI94 Don't rule yourself out just yet did you track ovulation or go off the apps?

UnicornPrincessSarah · 28/02/2024 22:08

@Ginny2018 how are you doing any updates?

LI94 · 29/02/2024 13:08

UnicornPrincessSarah · 28/02/2024 21:53

@LI94 Don't rule yourself out just yet did you track ovulation or go off the apps?

I've just gone off the app so far. Still no AF and my cramps have mostly gone now, but another negative test this morning! Think I'll try and wait until the weekend before testing again, unless AF does decide to show up!

LI94 · 29/02/2024 13:10

@UnicornPrincessSarah how are you doing? When are you planning to test again?

UnicornPrincessSarah · 29/02/2024 13:11

@LI94 same as me off the apps but also carrying on DTD past the possible fertile dates, when are you due? hope the witch stays away

I am out now though AF come this morning, this is now my second month my body has played horrible tricks on me, my fingers are crossed that cycle number 3 will be our one, my fertile dates for March are 8th to 14th March

Ahh sorry to hear that 😩 sending lots of baby dust for next month!!

According to my app I was due on Tuesday so a couple days late - but my AF usually is a few days early/late each month so quite likely I'll start tomorrow or at the weekend. The negative test has me thinking it's not my month sadly, unless I've miscalculated my ovulation date!

LI94 · 29/02/2024 22:02

UnicornPrincessSarah · 29/02/2024 20:30

@LI94 Thank you, and keeping my fingers crossed for you that you get your BFP

Sadly AF started too 😩 on to next month! Will join your next ttc post!

Kitty337 · 04/03/2024 08:40

Hi ladies,

unfortunately I need to leave the TTC March club, I just lost a very close family member overnight and fly to my family first thing tomorrow morning. My fertile window starts this week but needless to say, I am not in the mood for it

UnicornPrincessSarah · 05/03/2024 16:08

@Kitty337 so sorry to hear this sending you a virtual hug

@Marie1990x @CoolSummer89 @LI94 @Overthinkeroverthirty @SophT27 @TTTC24 @purplecolouroffunk How are you ladies going?

Marie1990x · 05/03/2024 17:53

@Kitty337 sorry to hear this. Hope you’re ok as you can be at this difficult time, sending hugs.

@UnicornPrincessSarah I’m good thank you. I’ve just got my hertility results back and everything is normal except my AMH levels are slightly high. Says it’s consistent with PCO (which I already knew I have), but nothing to indicate that it is PCOS (going off my other results etc) and shouldn’t affect fertility. So I’m happy with that!

How are you getting on?

@Marie1990x ah that's excellent news, I still need to do the amh but I think mine maybe same as your as my other bloods apparently don't show the pcos stuff but my scan shows PCO

Has POC ever caused fertility issues for you?

I have just finished Af so now into baby making time lol

CoolSummer89 · 05/03/2024 22:23

@UnicornPrincessSarah I’m OK thank you. This cycle has been slightly weird as DH and I have been travelling (separately) and therefore less opportunities to DTD. I was expecting to ovulate yesterday but my LH surge hasn’t happened yet. Hoping it will happen tomorrow otherwise I am away for weekend and therefore will be out this cycle! Still feeling positive though as I have my improved my fitness this month.

I haven’t joined your group as I am slightly outside the fertile window but I am in the general March TTC group 😊come join us, best of luck when your fertile window comes!
