TWW.. 7dpo, anyone else?

[Lemonsugar90]

I'm currently 7dpo (assuming I ovulated on 23/09)

Trying my hardest not to symptom spot but it’s so hard! I’ve been run down and poorly with a viral infection so can’t really pinpoint any symptoms I just feel like pure cack!

Anyone else at a similar stage in their cycle?

Hey I'm 4DPO today so no symptoms to spot 😂. How are you feeling tonight? Xx

😂 that made me laugh. I’m feeling a lot better than I have the last few days but still have a bad headache. How long have you been TTC?

Hey! I think I'm 5 DPO so similar to you.
I have been symptom spotting like crazy, despite telling myself I would never...here I am!
I've felt really bloated and uncomfortable for the last two days and had a headache most of today. What symptoms have you felt so far?

@Lemonsugar90 😂😂 this is the second month, first month where I did OPK testing. How long have you been TTC? Xx

@Es92 well I’ve had a few twinges/pinching sensations on my lower left side over the last 2-3 days, and I’m pretty sure I ovulated from the left side this cycle too as I get quite bad ovulation pains. Not sure if that means anything though who knows! Then most my other “symptoms” I’m putting down to the viral infection like headache, tiredness, whole body aches. I always say I won’t symptom spot but isn’t it just impossible 😂 I also say I won’t test early 😂.

@slothbat this is my 6th cycle trying, I also tried to start OPK testing this cycle but didn’t buy enough and ran out before my peak🤦🏼‍♀️ will be buying a lot more if AF comes next week xx

I know we said we weren’t symptom spotting but here we are.. I know you’re both a few days behind me but how have you been feeling?

@Lemonsugar90 I'm feeling the same to be honest but still early days! I know over the next few days I'll start symptom spotting! 😂😂 just feels like the longest wait!!! Xx

Here we are discussing all our symptoms hahaha. I had this weird pulling stretching feeling on my right side yesterday too actually, I forgot about that until now - another symptom to add to my list whilst I'm not supposed to be symptom spotting haha.
The wait feels soooo long doesn't it! When are you planning to test, or will you wait to see if AF is late first?

@Es92 😂😂😂 yes it's much easier said than done not symptom spotting 😂😂😂 I'm planning to wait till AF is due but I don't know how strong I will be?! Last month tested early and felt like it took ages to then get my period and wait for ovulation etc!! What are your plans? Will you test early?

I'm roughly 7dpo and had very slight cramp/ache yesterday but today it's been very noticeable in my lower abdomen, keep feeling like AF is here but no blood. Due AF next week.

TWW sucks 😂

I definitely won’t be waiting til AF comes I never have the willpower😂 but I have some internet cheapies coming today but kinda know there’s not much point in testing til 10dpo minimum. I had a faint line around that time with my daughter who’s now 4.

AF sometimes comes a couple of days late which is torture when you keep getting bfns!

Woke up this morning feeling wet down there but cm is just lotion like. I’m pretty sure I’ve been like that other cycles though.

When’s everyone else planning to test? @Duckwars hi cycle twin😂 I’m due AF Monday according to my app. How about you?

@slothbat that’s the main reason I wish I could hold off from testing early.. your period then takes what feels like forever to come and you just want to restart your cycle and go again!! Hopefully we get some BFPs this month 🤞🏼 xx

@slothbat well this is cycle 1 for me, so I had all these great ideas of always waiting for AF, but I didn't realise how hard the wait would be so I did order some tests yesterday so not sure if the temptation to test will be too real when they arrive 😂 AF isn't due until 10 October for me and that just feels sooo far away (very aware that is only next week 😂)

@Duckwars are you going to test early or hold out until AF is due next week?

@Lemonsugar90 yeah I've noticed some changes in my CM this month too, had a couple of days where it was bit thicker which I don't remember noticing before but I am on hyper alert for every tiny thing right now😂

I think I'm going to try hold out until at least 10dpo which would be the weekend, then if it's a bfn I only have a few days to wait for AF.

@Es92 I'm due on the 11th! So we are so close!! Yeah I say I intend to wait but I know I wont be able to!!

@Es92 I'm going to hold off until Friday I think. Due AF Monday so it's not much of a wait if it's bfn. Are you testing early?

@Lemonsugar90 🖐hello! I don't test but I do get ovulation pain and I'm pretty sure I ovulated same day as you but as I can't be 100% I'm saying roughly 8dpo today. Also due AF Monday. Going to hold off until Fri I think to test.

Woke up this morning being sick so think I've ate something dodgy. How are you feeling today?

@Duckwars sorry to hear you’ve been sick.. hope you’re feeling better soon! Nothing worse than being ill from dodgy food is there 😞

I’m feeling quite “normal” to be honest.. haven’t noticed any pains or twinges this morning but I have been out the house since 8am.. I think I notice more when I’m relaxing or laying in bed of a nighttime.

Really want to say I’ll try and hold out til 10dpo which should be Thursday but my tests will be delivered later so I’ll have to see how that goes. It’s my partners birthday next week too so he’s either going to have the best present ever or the worst (af) 😂 but seriously it’s all that seems to consume my mind and I feel like this is the best place to talk with others who just get it.

Let’s keep each other posted as the days go by xx

@Lemonsugar90 ah I felt great not long after thankfully.

Definitely when you're chilling and nothing else to really focus on, you become more in tune with what's going on especially if you're thinking about it.

Haha if you get your bfp (fingers crossed) you definitely need to put a bow on it and give him it 😂it's my husbands birthday the week after!

Looking forward to seeing lots of bfps here!

Morning ladies, so I woke up early this morning and had an internal debate on whether I was going to test with FMU, I decided against it as it's still really early. But when I went to the toilet and wiped, there was pink blood - it's definitely not AF. should I be worried? 😟

@Es92 Morning!! Could it be implantation bleeding? Are you still spotting? Xxx

Morning! Yes sounds like implantation bleeding.. fingers crossed for you it is..

I had some weird sensations in my lower tummy last night.. like pinching and tingling sensations that were uncomfortable but not painful as such. Woke up with really bad nausea too but I’m sure that’s normal for me I remember googling last month and af still arrived.

I’ve got the tests here but still haven’t caved. Going to do one tomorrow morning when I should be 10dpo.

how’s everyone else feeling?

@slothbat I've been googling like mad this morning and I think it sounds like it could be, I've checked again and there's now a very small amount of pinkish blood but not as much as there was earlier. I feel really bloated and uncomfortable now. How are you feeling today?

@Lemonsugar90 ahhh tomorrow! So close now! Keeping everything crossed for you tomorrow for bfp

Ohh sounds promising!!! I feel like I'm going to come on!! I feel exactly like I did last month and tested early last month and nothing! I genuinely don't think I DTD enough this month as my partner was away so ovulated on day 13 DTD on day 13 and day 10 and 15 so not hopeful at all this month!!! Xx

@slothbat I'm trying to not get my hopes up too much, easier said than done though! I might test a bit earlier than I was planning now? Maybe the weekend.
Those dates still sound like it could happen! It only takes one, you're still in the running this month until AF arrives x

@Es92 yeah this is true!! Do you think you will test early? Xxx
