Anyone else currently in TWW? I’m 4dpo and anxiously waiting until I can test.

I am currently trying to conceive my 3rd baby. I have 2 girls who are 6 and 8. And I’m desperately hoping they to see a positive test
My periods have been very irregular for the past year or so. But got a positive ovulation test on Sunday morning and have done BD with hubby last Wed, Saturday night and Monday night.
🤞🤞

Im also anxious because as ridiculous as it sounds I’ve had 2 online readings from 2 different psychics last month, one said I would conceive in November and give birth in August and one said September and December would be important months. Now I can’t get it out of my head that I won’t convince until the end of the year (if that even happens) 🙈🙈

I had no problems conceiving my first two girls 6 and 8 years ago, happen on first try both times so I am desperately hoping it will be the same this time. I am 30 now so still young.

sorry for the long read! X

I am! 2dpo today of cycle 6423 of TTC no 1 (at least that's how it feels 😂). I'm now so used to the 2ww it's like it's always been part of my life, but a part I don't really enjoy as it feels like I'm wishing my life away!

4dpo too! And honestly I am going absolutely crazy - I just don’t know how to think about anything else 🙈. My partner has just said to me “isn’t it flying” erm no, no it isn’t. The last four days have definitely lasted six weeks…

Exciting!! Is this your first month trying or have you been trying for a while?

Me too, I’m not seeing or feeling any symptoms at all but I know that’s normal because symptoms wouldn’t kick in until after implantation. But it’s hard to not to notice every twinge lol

Hello! I’m 3 or more likely 4dpo today. I’m trying for no.2, and our DD is 21 months.

We’ve been trying since last July, and have had 1 bfp in that time, which was sadly anembryonic. Thankfully we caught it early and I had surgery in December. I’m 41 with a history of recurrent miscarriage so I was expecting a rough ride, but last time I conceived on 4 of the 5 cycles we tried before DD stuck so this does feel different. The TWW is still too long though!

I’ve purposely not bought any yet because I would be wasting them already haha. My Amazon basket is ready to go though, so I’ve said I will order on Monday, waste one when they arrive on Tues then probably test properly on Thursday.

So what I mean is that I will be testing non-stop from them arriving on Tuesday! 😂 you?

Hi! Sorry to hear you’ve had a hard time of it!
I really hope this is your month for baby number 2!
the TWW really is painfully long 🙈 every hour feels like a week 😅

Haha!! Yip sounds about right! It’s hard to resist when they are infront of you! I have one early response test (clear and simple brand) that I bought along with my ovulation tests few weeks ago so I plan to test on Thursday when I will be about 10dpo. If I don’t give in before then!!

Thank you ❤️
Really would love it to be my month but nothing different so far, I could be a bit less moody than I would be at this stage in my cycle 😂 but that's about it. Cramping today which is a little early for me, due AF on Thursday/friday.

How about you?
I have started taking my temp last 2 cycles does anyone else chart? X

morning ladies! How’s everyone feeling today?

So I’m thinking 5dpo today. I had been using the digital smiley ovulation tests and 6 days of flashing smileys and got peak smiley on Sunday morning. Tested again on Monday morning and had strong dark line on ovulation strip, tested again later Monday and the line was getting fainter. So sounds like ovulation day was Sunday night/ Monday?

My symptoms today are nothing out of the ordinary. I read yesterday some people say they have very vivid dreams during TWW before getting their positive. And I woke up early hours to go to bathroom and realised I haven’t had any vivid dreams. Then went to sleep for another hour and the most crazy vivid dreams in that hour 🤣🤣

Good idea!! I planned to use early response test on Thursday morning when I’d be 10dpo but if it’s Neg I’d be upset and couldn’t focus at work! So I might wait until 12dpo on Saturday so il have weekend to recover if it’s negative!

That's a good idea, as it can effect the whole day if you get a bfn in the morning! I have really promised myself not to test until after AF is due, it's so hard but I just can't see any more negs! I managed last month and determined not to test this month either x
