Come and join me for the TWW

[starryx]

Hello everyone!
I am approx 3dpo today and want to invite everyone regardless of how many dpo you are to join in this chat so we can all share our experiences and any advice etc..

:D

Hello @starryx I’ll join you ! I am 6DPO today and in this limbo land. My main symptoms is I feel wet all the time down below and tender boobs but the tender boobs are not unheard of with me after ovulation.
when are you looking to start testing?

Hi! I think I am 5dpo (straight following a MMC). So I am not actually sure if my cycles are back to normal. But did have some signs of ovulation 🤞

Hi! And that's great :) I might test at 10dpo earliest. I've currently ordered some pregnancy tests which hopefully if they come I can keep them at the ready :). And ooo hopefully this is the month for us

Awww hopefully you're body is back to normal <3 sorry on you mmc

I'm starting to get some odd symptoms that i don't usually get, I don't test so I could be further dpo along than 4. I'm not sure what to think. All I hope is that this month is mine.

What symptoms you getting @starryx ? I keep thinking I’ll wait for 10DPO would like to just hold out until when AF is due. My tender boobs are ever so tender today, I was walking quickly down the stairs like ow ow ow ow ! I had some nausea today but that could be totally random.
do you get ovulation symptoms so could guess when ovulated?

Hi everyone, I'm new to posting on Mumsnet so hope I'm in the right thread.

This is our fifth month trying and I promised myself I wouldn't symptom spot, but something is different, so here I am 🙈😂 Would love to know if anyone has had similar symptoms or any opinions / advice?

5-7 dpo - started noticing mild backache that got painful quite quickly, and spread down my legs and groin like a dull ache (and I'm not an exercise girlie, so this was strange). I also then had a totally random sharp stabbing pain on my lower left side that took. my breath away, but then subsided quickly after.

8dpo - sorry for the tmi here but potentially the worst combo is an increased sense of smell and bad gas. I had more twinges but not in a painful way, but some noticable pulling / pressure

9-10 dpo - confusingly (or not?!) nothing of note was going on. a couple of spots under my chin and one or two moments of twingy sensations but really nothing to write home about

11dpo (today) - i've felt very off, had a banging headache, have felt low and had really dry skin and chapped lips, despite not changing my skincare routine.

Throughout the whole tww I've not had any bleeding, and my boobs feel bigger and a bit tender, but not the soreness you read about as such?

Anyway, I'm confused as hell and trying to not get my hopes up but these symptoms are all new to me. AF is due Sat/Sun so I'm going to try and wait to test on Sunday but it's driving me round the bend.

Anyone else had similar symptoms and led to a BFP?

Thanks for reading x

Hi @sarahhh18 you are on a good thred as it is the 2ww which sounds like yours is nearly at the end!

it’s so hard to not symptom spot but I don’t see it as a bad thing as is good to know your body.

these do sound like early symptoms and are all new for you !

in regards to bleeding not everyone gets that or tender boobs some just get bit fuller

it is a confusing limbo land to be in as the answer is you never know until AF late and a BFP but at least your wait isn’t for much longer… wishing you a quick Friday and that AF doesn’t come and you get you AF.
do you travk ovulation with OPK’s

8DPO for me today and stomach pains / gurgling woke me up !

Well I had nausea and tiredness, crashed out for a nap yesterday which is unlike me! I feel fine otherwise which makes me think I'm not ill. Don't feel much nausea today. I have had vivid dreams that I remember for past couple of days. Last nights I was pregnant!
Plus much more gas.

The only ovulation symptom I could possibly see is discharge which could mean I ovulted 1/2 days earlier if I remember right

@starryx oooo the dream hopefully it will come true for you! Did the nap make you feel less tired?
What is with the gas 🤪 my stomach won’t stop gurgling away down there makes me think something else is going on!

The nap helped somewhat! But it's so unusual because I haven't had to nap in ages. My sleep has been consistent and enough so it's strange. And I know right. 🤔 maybe it's our bodies telling us this is the month haha :)

thank you, that's really lovely of you! I'm hoping for the quickest, no AF, Friday too 😂

Ooh 8dpo with stomach gurgling sounds encouraging too! Will you be testing around 10/11dpo or waiting? Sending you lots of luck! x

Come on no AF Friday ! I feel this is a no AF Friday !

I do hope so, I think I’ll test from 10DPO so Sunday , thank you.

please keep us posted on how you get on x

I had a moment of weakness and tested earlier and it was a bfn (11dpo) 😓i'm bloated now this evening and have some strange flutterings going on, that dont feel like normal AF pains but at this point, who knows.

Feeling really neggy this evening and just want AF to arrive if she's going to and put me out of my misery so I can pick myself up and move onto next month. This waiting is absolutely horrific. Just feel so deflated - feels like a step further away tonight.

Sending positive vibes your way - Really hope you all have BFPs soon! x

That’s still early @sarahhh18 you are not out until AF is here.

I know it’s hard but try and have a nice weekend. I go through this wait some days saying surly I am or I wouldn’t have these symptoms then a couple of hours later I’ll be like 100% not stop kidding yourself. Like being on a 2 week rollercoster.

test again today and tomorrow I saw a thread on here a lady said stark white 11DPO but 13DPO a faint positive !

Hi all,
7/8dpo today ish and I've like cm :O which is unusual for this time in the cycle. So I'm hoping this is a good sign.
