TWW Anyone?

349 replies

MrsOverthinker25 · 14/08/2025 15:40

Anyone want to join me on the TWW? Currently 6dpo and it’s feeling like forever!

I have had the occasional shooting pain in my boobs, they feel bigger and had cramps/twinges on and off for the last 2 days.

My temp took a huge dive below the cover line yesterday but it’s back up to just above cover line today!

Come and join in x

@MrsOverthinker25 oh love! Sorry to hear that....how long is your luteal, that sounds quite short if you start spotting 10DPO?

It's so shit isn't it...i'm already on verge of tears, just feel like this cycles a fail before it's even finished. Think it's PTSD from all the failed 2WWs!

Hugs to you xx

MrsOverthinker25 · 10/06/2026 14:44

@ThatNimbleOP thank you! 🥰 I will spot for like 2-3 days, only when I wipe and then come 14dpo, it’ll be in full swing, never used to happen pre-pill! Just like I didn’t have PCOS pre pill! So frustrating! 🙄🙄

Awww please don’t get upset, you’re still a few days off confirming yours ❤️ all will be okay. It is disheartening though, it just gets you down doesn’t it. But what will be, will be. I pray this is your month xx

@MrsOverthinker25 oh fair enough! When did you come off the pill? Perhaps hormones are restabilising. Have you had bloods etc. Have you had an ultrasound, are you ovaries definitely polysystic?

I know! Thanks...it's also the hormones and taking progesterone suppositories so i know that can make things amplified. I hate 7-11DPO, such a stressful few days haha.

TheUniqueMember · 11/06/2026 15:29

Roll on the end of the month. That's when I'm going to remove my patch and hope for the best. They say that it can take a while to have a period but fertility can come back straight anyway so I'll be testing with opks and temperature and see how we go 🥰

MrsOverthinker25 · 11/06/2026 21:12

@ThatNimbleOP hmm I’d say over 2 years ago now! It’s hit and miss really, sometimes I’ll spot 13dpo, sometimes it’s 10dpo, 11dpo. It’s really really reallyyy light. Even now it’s only when I wipe and it’s the tiniest amount, every cloud and all that lol!
I haven’t had a single scan, my doctor didn’t feel the need to when I was first diagnosed, he only took bloods and confirmed it that way along with my symptoms. I do feel as though private is the way forward as looking back, I think I was fobbed off massively!

Well you’re one more day closer to finding out!! Super excited for you. I have a really good feeling for you on this cycle 🥰🥰

@TheUniqueMember welcome :)

Hi all, do you mind if I join please? I’m 4 DPO in my first cycle of trying for No.2. Wishing you all lots of luck!

Hi @SantiagoSister and @TheUniqueMember welcome!! Feel free to be crazy with us.

@MrsOverthinker25 and I are old buddies at this point 🤣

@MrsOverthinker25 you should 100% go private if you can, NHS are useless for anything fertility. Seen as a privilege not an illness unfortunately…

Aw thank you. 7DPO testing negative as expected…8-10DPO, the biggies coming up from tomorrow! How about you today?

ThatNimbleOP · 12/06/2026 21:16

@MrsOverthinker25 i have got the faintest of lines this evening on my one step cheapies and a FRER!! They are both faint and obviously it’s evening of 8DPO so very early but there’s something there….

was testing negative earlier today. Oh god please be it!!

ThatNimbleOP · 12/06/2026 22:36

@TheUniqueMember @SantiagoSister sorry for not tagging! Very used to just the two of us normally 🤣

Thanks. I’m feeling tentatively positive but feels so early. Although was testing negative at 13:00 so there’s a chance I could be more 9DPO…

Will keep you updated!

MrsOverthinker25 · 12/06/2026 23:42

@ThatNimbleOP omg amazing news!! Keep us posted, I told you I had a good feeling about this month for you!! I knew it would happen 😍

@MrsOverthinker25 my FRER and Internet cheapies are darker this morning so it’s 100% not indents or mistakenly so.

Now the next worry/challenge is if they’re darkening…which they appear to be. Whole level of worry up haha.

I feel weirdly calm but since my miscarriage all the naive happiness is gone, such a shame!

That’s so great to hear! Congratulations! 🥳 I fully understand your worries, I had a third trimester loss with my first pregnancy and it completely takes away any naivety, my rainbow pregnancy was 9 months of sheer anxiety 😔 hoping you are able to find some coping mechanisms to keep you calm throughout. Pregnancy after loss is a whole new ball game. Best of luck to you going forwards ❤️

Oh so sorry to hear that, I can’t honestly begin to imagine how that felt. We’ll never know why our babies are taken from us but it stays with us forever.

We lost ours at 9 weeks in January which can’t compare to your loss but it definitely changed things. My first was conceived first month with no issues m, this second one has been wanted since October 2024…it’s been a very complex and new journey. Life is full of surprises but it makes me so grateful for what we have now.

@SantiagoSister i wish you an easy journey from now on for your second. Keep us updated! Xx

I did another cheapie this afternoon and looks about the same. Just going to wait for more FRERs to arrive and try to ease off the testing. The internet cheapies are not good for anxiety!

Thank you for your kind words @ThatNimbleOP ❤️ I feel a loss at any stage is devastating, as soon as you see those first lines you already imagine the whole journey ahead, and to lose that is awful. I’m sorry you had to go through that after an already tough journey. It sounds like you’ve had a really difficult ride of it second time round, I’m so pleased it’s finally happened for you. Hopefully you can find some reassurance when your FRERs arrive, I know it helped me testing with them and seeing the lines darken. Wishing you lots of luck ✨

ThatNimbleOP · 14/06/2026 20:38

Hey guys!

Please can I get your opinion? Is this good progression. 9DPO AM to 20:00 10DPO (with me peeing all afternoon so this was a one hour hold).

Also excuse the state of my house, we’re in the middle of renovating!!

My temp dropped 0.25 degrees this morning so I’ve been spiralling but I think this progression is good. I’ve taken the ring off now!

TWW Anyone?

@SantiagoSister thank you! Test has darkened even more with drying. Feeling a lot more confident then this morning. I thought that was the end..silly temping after a BFP.

How are you doing? You must be 6/7DPO now xx

So glad you’re feeling more reassured as the day has gone on, it’s so hard not to worry about things though, I totally get it.

Ah well remembered! Thank you ☺️ I am 7 DPO today, planning to start testing in the morning as I previously got a faint line in my other pregnancies at 8 DPO. Felt some twinges today, but that could be endometriosis related, so it’s difficult to tell if it could be implantation related. I have also started to get slightly achy boobs this evening too. Hoping these are all positive signs! Will keep you posted 🤞🏼

ThatNimbleOP · 15/06/2026 06:51

@SantiagoSister fingers crossed for you! I was testing negative up until evening of 8DPO.

Hope you get what you want. I guess we’re only 4 days difference so very happy to handhold 😃

Thank you @ThatNimbleOP, much appreciated!

BFN this morning, half expected it as it’s still very early. Reassuring to hear you first test positive on the evening of 8 DPO, I know what I’ll be doing tonight now 😆 nipples are more sore this morning, but of course that could just be progesterone leading up to AF. Will report back tonight! How are you doing?
