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!

@UnicornPrincessSarah yeah from what I understand, if there’s no other symptoms such as irregular periods etc that it is just PCO and shouldn’t affect anything? It’s all very confusing, but since everything else is in range I won’t over think it.
I don’t think it ever has caused issues. It took a while to get pregnant with my daughter, but we weren’t tracking or actively “trying”, just off contraception and figured if it happened it happened. Only been pregnant the once.

My fertility window starts today, but I’m not tracking anything this month or putting pressure on it or “actively” trying. I’ve just stayed a new job and if I caught on would be very similar birthdays to my daughter, so having a break this month and back on it next ☺️

@Marie1990x Ah that's good to know, Yeah Dec is a bit of a tricky month for births lol, I'm carrying on still but not tracking trying to remain calm still and not get too stressed.

Hope all is going well in your new job as well

8DPO today lets see what the day brings

@UnicornPrincessSarah March has been very laid back. I haven’t tracked this month and just looked at my app and says predicted O was 12th, so if that’s correct I’d be around 8DPO too. Surprisingly haven’t even thought about it as we were having the month off “trying”.

The brown tinge sounds promising 🤞🏻. How are you feeling?

When are you planning on testing?

@Marie1990x Ah yeah i remember you saying this month off to avoid birthday classes, be funny though if the month you weren't tracking a trying was the month for you to get the BFP lol

Yeah was only one bit not anymore since then mainly been milky/ yellow and just when checking cervix

Im not to bad thanks, this morning had some cramps for 1 hour in belly when woke up and then went away but just started again 10 mins ago now stopped again, and have some pressure feeling in my boobs very strange that lasted 10 mins, and my energy just feels wiped now I'm home aswell, was fine all morning and until about 10 mins ago

I wont test until I'm late due 28th - 1st April

@UnicornPrincessSarah you’re so strong to hold off testing until you’re late 🤣.

Although we’ve not tried this month I’ll probably still test before AF is due.

Hahah imagine. Tbf I’ve noticed that we have DTD a few times in the fertile period so it could happen 🤣.

Have you had any more cramping or anything?

@Marie1990x Haha deff could be the way they say when you are not trying it happens lol, we covered 3 possible fertile dates are self and day before ovulation and 2 days after

So I had the cramping this morning then went out for 4 hours as did a first aid course then when I come home cramps started again in belly and some random ones in my boobs lasted about 10 mins and then I went super low energy and tired and since this afternoon had cramps on and off in belly

also still having milky/yellow discharge when checking cervix

still don't have the painful sore boobs I had last 2 cycles

@UnicornPrincessSarah imagine 😂. I doubt it though, I don’t even know if I ovulated as I didn’t notice any cramping, unless it’s just because I wasn’t looking for it. I’ll be back on the TTC train after AF though.

How are you feeling today?

@Marie1990x my ovulation pain was a bit different this month to last 2 so not sure if I ovulated aswell but was super wet down there sorry TMI

9 DPO Thur 21st March - woke up with some very mild body cramps have had these ones stay all day making me so extremely fatigued and low on energy how you sort of feel if you have a cold body feels drained (caved and tested BFN) was just so worried about this fatigue feel like i want to sleep and only 2pm uk time, still no painful boobs and still have milky discharge when checking cervix

Compared to

23rd Feb 9 DPO - Felt great in the morning and afternoon, but come evening the left hip and bum pain returned. Feeling very cold and having body shivers, Middle lower back lumber back pain, Nipples hurt to pinch feel very sensitive and bruised.

@UnicornPrincessSarah are you still tracking using OPK’s?
I was just tidying out my bedside drawers and found my OPK’s so had the urge to do one and it’s peak! So I mustn’t have ovulated 9 days ago as suggested, but it’s very very very delayed on CD26, really strange.

Did you use sensitive tests? Still early isn’t it so fingers crossed for you!

@Marie1990x I have never used opks myself but that is interesting I have heard some people get a high LH before the period or also a high as a sign of pregnancy.

Just saw this post she got a opk done 9dpo and 11dpo was high then got her bfp 14 dpo

Positive OPK 9dpo, is this normal? | Mumsnet

Deff don't feel like ovulating now as I'm not even horny last week wanted my man 24.7 lol

@UnicornPrincessSarah why are bodies so damn confusing 😂.
I might DTD tonight if it’s a true peak, with it being late it will avoid the birthday clash. Although probably won’t happen anyway but let’s see.

I have heard it being a pregnancy sign before, but I don’t think it is for me this time. In my last pregnancy I did check the theory and did an opk when I had a BFP and it was peak. I’ll check the opk again tomorrow and see what’s what. I don’t want to waste any pregnancy tests lol

@Marie1990x yeah maybe try tonight if you can when is your child's birthday? think if I o on the 12th March my due date is around 5th Dec

if you have a few opks maybe test over the next few days have you noticed any symptoms pms or non pms

@LI94 just wondering how you are? Last month we were synced up so you must be around 7-9 dpo as well now? Keeping everything crossed for you!

@UnicornPrincessSarah to be honest I feel like the opk is accurate as I have cramping and lower back pain like I sometimes get during ovulation.

my daughters birthday is the 2nd December so tbf this ovulation would probably be closer thinking about it 🤣. If I was to have another baby I’d have to have a C section due to a lot of complications during labour last time, so would probably say a week before due date would be the actuality

@Marie1990x ah that's interesting did you not have cramps last week?

Oh yeah they get you in early for that I have been told due to some health issues with me i would need a c section to, my sister had one after 48 hours of trying natural labour the chunky boy was 10lbs lol he now 5 months old

Just had a quick look if the conception date was today puts you around 12th Dec

if I go of period start date Id be due 5th Dec if i go off possible ovulation date due 17th Dec

@UnicornPrincessSarah not that I noticed. Felt it today but I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been thinking about it now. God knows. Time will tell.

Aww your poor sister. It’s hell but all worth it. I was back and forth to the hospital with intense contractions for 4 days but getting sent home. Ended up that baby was back to back so I was contracting but not dilating. Finally got them to take me seriously and after another 2 days on a ward, they finally figured out, once baby was very distressed, that it was due to her being back to back. So episiotomy, surgical intervention and a week for baby in infant intensive care later it was over 🤦🏼‍♀️. So after all that my midwife said if I was to ever have another it’d be advisable for planned section

@Marie1990x How are you doing today? Did you do another opk or DTD?

10 DPO - Just a quick update got a VVFL on a Wondfo test this afternoon 3pm UK didn't hold my wee and had been drinking, what made me test is I'm having horrible PMS-like cramps like I should be bleeding and my orange squash I have daily tasted rank

This pic was taken 6pm UK time but have others from 3pm when first did it pinker in real eye site

BFN on yesterday and Tuesday though with the same brand

Have heard and read mixed reviews on these though so i will be carrying on testing and will keep you all posted AF due 28th March

@UnicornPrincessSarah i did another OPK and it was lighter than the other so think it was definitely O. We didn’t DTD, intended to but I fell asleep before my husband came to bed 😂. Will start fresh next month once AF arrives.

Arghhhh I would be tentatively excited about that line!!!! Mine was VERY similar to that in my last pregnancy and the next morning I had a positive digital and frer! Did you test this morning?? Exciting!

Sorry that was meant to say very similar with the same brand, Wondfo @UnicornPrincessSarah

@Marie1990x Oh no maybe this month wasn't meant to be lol

I did today's test with FMU 11 dpo today

Been reading some mixed reviews of people getting fake positives with these

@UnicornPrincessSarah I’d say that’s 99.9% a BFP!!! I’ve used them a lot and it’s always stark white when negative! Congratulations is definitely in order!!!! So happy for you! Are you going to retest?

Yeah I’m not actually too bothered this month as I said I wasn’t going to try anyway so hasn’t been like the past ones where it was disappointing

@Marie1990x Thank you we trying not to get hopes up too much as still early woke hubby yesterday to show him he wasn't happy to be woken lol I just got a little excited as Tue and Thursday they were blank for me as well lo

So I'm either 9 Dpo or 11 dpo and have done 3 tests so far with all faint possible positives and AF due Wed or Thursday for me

this is my 3rd test taken 2.45pm UK today on 3 hour wee hold and just 1 drink line actually came up before 2 mins and this says to allow up to 5 mins

Fingers crossed April is your month

@UnicornPrincessSarah surely all those can’t be evaps. I’d definitely be tentatively excited!
Do you have any other tests you can try? I bet if you did a digital tomorrow morning it would be positive
