Anyone else started the TWW?

[amichel]

The tww feels like forever! I'm hoping to find cycle buddies! Looking forward to symptom spotting, testing and everything else!😅

@ale3ex i think I can see a shadow. Keep testing and let us know.

This is probably just a coincidence and won’t mean anything, but I’ve made a coffee and it just tasted vile. Asked DH to try it and he said it was fine. Honestly I almost threw up at the taste of it, but it wasn’t the “typical symptom” of metallic, more just like off (fresh milk so definitely isn’t off)

@Marie1990x
That's a good sign! Do you have a metallic taste in your mouth as that's a symptom isn't it?
Keep us updated with anything else

I've still got minor lower back ache and creamy lotion like CM, but that's all now. My nipples aren't as sensitive now which is getting me down😅

It’s not really metallic, more bitter. I doubt it means anything but was just so weird. Haven’t tried another coffee yet as it’s completely put me off.

Haha it’s funny how we wish for painful breasts and cramps 😂😂.
My cm is similar to you, but that’s normal for me at this time in my cycle (I think)

@Marie1990x
It's hard not to think every thing is a sign😅 It could very well be and we'll soon know.
I've read a lot on CM during implantation and early pregnancy, creamy CM seems to be common. It's just not reliable enough to know for definite. On my previous cycle I logged that I had no CM and it was very dry, I'm hoping this cycle is different

Silly me did a test this afternoon and there is a very faint line. I had to leave the test on the side for 10 minutes as someone was at my front door. It's most likely an evap shadow/line but can't help getting my hopes up😭
Just know I'll be testing every day now for the next two weeks. I've got 40 easy@home sticks😅

Ooooo that’s exciting!!! Do you have a pic? I’ve never got an evap on one of those tests so sounds promising!

@Marie1990x
I couldn't even pick up a line on camera. I'm actually thinking now it was a delusional episode and a bad case of line eyes😂 I'll keep testing though and let's see what the next week brings x

Awww I hope not! Keep testing and fingers crossed it was just a very very early start of a BFP!

My chill state has abruptly changed and I’ve ordered a bunch of cheapie tests, so let the irrational testing commence!

I’m so tempted to test but I’m only 4dpo. I’m having very strange twinges, dull cramping, achy hips/thighs/knees and my lower back is aching. My CM seems creamy but when I was pregnant last time I was dry from 1dpo.
also when I came out the shower I had a tiny bit of colostrum and watery fluid from my boobs 🤷🏻‍♀️ I stopped breastfeeding in January so don’t really know what’s going on there.

@amichel fingers crossed it was a line. How many days PO are you?

@Marie1990x i can see a faint line, fingers crossed for you x

@Marie1990x
I know I'm starting to think my eyes were playing tricks on me. I must want it so much I'm wishful thinking at the moment.
Exciting! After reading some people have a faint line from 6dpo I'm willing to test every day😅

@Samthenanny
That's how I'm feeling! The back ache is coming and going though so I'm not sure if thats just due to the job I do😅
I can't remember what my CM was like previously. I too have creamy CM so I'm hoping that's a sign for both of us. My first peak was 8 days ago, so anywhere between 8-6dpo I think x

Did you test again this morning?

I was driving to work and my usual pre-AF symptoms came. Nausea and sore boobs. Always happens almost exactly a week before I’m due on. I got overly emotional while sat in rush hour traffic 😂

@Marie1990x
Unfortunately I did, it was a BFN! I'm trying to not think too deep into it as I've heard 10-12dpo is more likely to give accurate results.

It's so frustrating that pre AF symptoms and early pregnancy are so similar! How long does the nausea usually last for?

My bloating has reduced, nipples feel normal, no nausea, back doesn't ache today, just a bit of fatigue and achy joints which is probably just due to the rise in progesterone. Feeling a bit flat today although it's still early days x

You’re absolutely not out yet! I didn’t get even a shadow of a like until 10dpo on a cheaper, so don’t give up yet!

it will usually last on and off now until AF arrives. It’s funny because I get the textbook “pregnancy” symptoms for AF and not bfp, when I was pregnant I had absolutely nothing 😂. So when these starts I know I’m most probably out.

Bless you, try not feel deflated and just keep positive there’s still time for your BFP to appear 😊

10DPO today and AF has arrived early ☹️ can’t believe it! Onwards we go, fingers crossed for July 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Marie1990x
You're right! I suppose that's the downside of being a serial tester😅 Oh that's great to know thank you!

It's funny how the mind and body works! Did you have any morning sickness during your pregnancy?

There's still time and I just need a good distraction😅x

Haha yeah definitely! I’d love to be patient at testing and not squinting at blank tests from 7dpo 😂.

I did have it but not until around 7/8 weeks. I remember it being bad around my booking in appt which I’m sure was at 8 weeks, but nothing before that.

if you think of a good distraction let me know as I’m in need of one too 😂

@Marie1990x Story of my life at the moment! I'm even shining my torch on the sticks😂

Did it last long? I didn't have any nausea or sickness during pregnancy, and I'm really hope I don't next time.

Work has been the only distraction🥴

I never knew I'd get so excited to feel cramps, back pain and all sorts. I've had a few little twinges this afternoon, but I probably get them all the time. I'm just over analysing x

@MaryMax
I'm sorry to hear that! Wishing you all the best for July 🤞🏼✨

😂😂😂 there’s no helping us is there!

My stash have just arrived and me being the test psycho I am couldn’t wait. Obviously bfn but I’ve managed to convince myself there’s a shadow (there isn’t).

No i was quite lucky and it only lasted a couple of weeks max.

Hahaha yep bring on the sore boobs and cramps (that hopefully don’t indicate af).

Jumping on and also due on the 12th!! ✨

@Marie1990x

There's no stopping me now😂

Oh that's exactly what I did the other day! I'll upload my LH test and HCG test now. HCG is stark white.

Oh that's good! 10 days left before AF is due!🥴x

@26dX
Hey! Let's hope it's our month!
Have long have you been TTC for?x

Roll on tomorrow morning for another test😅

Hi ladies, just jumping on your thread as I am also due AF on the 12th.
Trying to tell myself I won't test until im at least a few days late ... but I know I'll probably cave 🤦🏻‍♀️
