TWW Anyone?

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

Funny day for me. My bbt dropped below cover line yesterday but today has gone back up and that’s the first time that’s happened in my 3 years of temping. Normally drops for 2 days then AF. Also I don’t feel any indication AF is actually coming. I actually feel really good. Caved and order some cheap tests and thinking if bbt is still going up tomorrow il test then Xx

Edited

@MrsOverthinker25thank you ♥️ did you test?

@Readytotryagainwhat dpo are you? BBT dropped for me yesterday and today it's the same hoping it rises tomorrow 🙈 I'm sitting on borderline cover line but hasn't gone under yet. I bought a boots early test that I'm trying not use as I know it's too early 🤣

Readytotryagain · 18/08/2025 18:21

I’m either 9 or 10. From what I’ve read I think the temp dips could possibly be implantation? I know tomorrow is still early days for me to test too but I feel like just one test will scratch the itch for me 🤣 unless I wake up and my bbt has dropped again il know I’m out. I’m working till 10pm and it’s going to take all my will to not test when I get home. Have you had any other symptoms? I’m trying to not pay attention to things. I’ve just pinched my boob and thought yep that deffo hurts and had to have a word with myself Xx

BlossomZara · 18/08/2025 18:33

I’ve just come to the end of my tww with a bfp!! We’ve been ttc for 1 year so I’ve defo become an expert of my cycles so thought I’d share what I noticed, though I know everyone is different.

cm more sparse than af cycles - usually get ewcm like cm around 4 days before af but this time it stayed thicker and drier. Stomach upset around 10dpo. stitch like pains today (around 14/15dpo) before testing.

I also tried the municex cough syrup theory for the first time during ovulation this time… could be massive coincidence but perhaps worth a try!!!! Hopefully some of you in your tww will be joining me soon x

BabyBorn · 18/08/2025 19:50

It’s crazy how many people use the BBT method! I can’t because my sleep is terrible. I co sleep with my little one and she wakes me a fair few times in the night fidgeting! How accurate is it? Xx

MrsOverthinker25 · 18/08/2025 19:56

I did test today, BFN! Although I swear I could see a shadow of something but I binned it and will retest either tomorrow or Wednesday.

@BlossomZara congratulations! I also took the cough syrup this month! I also took it during December into January as I had a throat infection and I ended up conceiving!

my BBT is weird this month, it’s still very up and down, few dips below coverline, then back up, then back down! It’s really annoying. The only time I have ever had up and down temps, is when I was pregnant! My boobs are still hurting and I had a few cramps again today but not for long!

I already feel like I’m out but I’m clinging onto the fact my boobs have been hurting/feel swollen and the fact I’ve had cramps on and off since 5dpo, which is unusual for me!

this is torture! Xx

MrsOverthinker25 · 18/08/2025 20:05

Thank you @BabyBorn !! Let me know how you get on too! I am keeping everything crossed for you!

i tested 10dpo on my last pregnancy. I thought it was an evap line and didn’t think anything else of it. We only had sex once during my fertile window, so I thought the chances were slim at even getting pregnant but I tested a week later and there was no denying the line! 😂

NatalieSF · 18/08/2025 20:26

@Readytotryagain no symptoms but Im quite crampy today so wondering if it's implanting 🤞🏼 Im hoping to use my cheap premom tests and then the early if I see anything but I'll probably go straight to the early I know what I'm like 🤣

@BlossomZaracongratulations 🎉

@MrsOverthinker25good luck for testing 🤞🏼

ThatNimbleOP · 18/08/2025 21:56

@BlossomZara so funny, was just reading about the mucinex stuff. Was going to try next cycle!

@BabyBorn we stopped about 1.5 ago so some point in July…can’t remember exact date. No signs of a positive test yet. My temp dropped today but no AF either just cramps. Fully expecting it tomorrow though…I bought the Oura ring for temping and it’s great! Still cosleeping too so it solves that problem.

ThatNimbleOP · 18/08/2025 21:59

@BlossomZara and congratulations! Must feel amazing after one year x

ThatNimbleOP · 18/08/2025 22:00

@BabyBorn sorry to hear about your miscarriage too. Hope you’re doing okay x

MrsOverthinker25 · 18/08/2025 23:12

@NatalieSF thank you!! Fingers crossed for us all!

@ThatNimbleOP the Oura ring is a game changer isn’t it! Bought mine last November and wouldn’t be without it now!

Morning Ladies, I got a BFP this morning! I am in shock!!

I actually tested yesterday too and thought I saw a very very very faint shadow but wasn’t sure. This morning, they came up without me having to squint!!

I have to try and stay positive now, it will be hard thought after 1 chemical and two miscarriages in 13 months.

Have you tested yet @MrsOverthinker25 xx

BellaQuin · 19/08/2025 10:14

I believe that I am today 13DPO but got a BFN. I am really struggling. I am so tired, my boobs hurt, I have mild cramps which seem constant, sense of smell has increased, headaches, nausea on and off, irritable and emotional too.

I have had 3 miscarriages now, the 3rd being end of Feb and ended up being a missed miscarriage and having to have surgery, the first two were chemical. My husband has a 10 year old from previous marriage but I really want my own baby.

I haven't had a period in 2 months so at the end of July I started doing Ovulation kits again and I got a whole 5 days of High before getting peak! That has never happened before! Now I am getting super anxious about not getting a positive.... I haven't had any implantation bleeding yet and I did all the other pregnancies! I am so convinced I am pregnant though!

Anyone else struggling mentally with this waiting for a positive??

Omg congratulations!! How exciting. Good luck I hope everything goes well 🤍

Yes another BFN! Again - slight shadow but I’m gonna get a few tests on my way home and test again!

i normally spot for 2 days prior to my period (which is maybe due tomorrow, my cycles still aren’t 100% after miscarriage but either way it should be this week) no spotting so far and temp went up this morning again.

My boobs feel quite hard! My OH was feeling them and couldn’t get over how full they feel (I’m not blessed on the chest haha I’m a B cup!)

so I’m at a loss to be honest :( I know 11dpo can be quite early still but argghhh :(

@BabyBorn wow, exciting! Fingers crossed for you ❤️

@BellaQuin yep the testing is so soul destroying…the hope dwindling as the DPO goes up lol.

CD1 for me ladies, period started bang on this morning. At least temping as shown I’ve got at least a 12-13 day luteal phase and I’m ovulating. This month I’m trying evening primrose, cough syrup and drinking grape/pomegranate juice!

NatalieSF · 19/08/2025 16:30

Congratulations @BabyBorn🎉

BFN today at 9dpo for me, I have been awfully crampy today including the random lightnings shock pain in my cervix (That's only what I can explain it🤣) also extremely tired and irritable but I have an under active thyroid so can never be sure what's symptoms of that 🙈
I'll test again tomorrow but I'm not hopeful.

Kirsty198511 · 19/08/2025 19:42

@babyCongratulations! 👏🏻 And I’m really sorry for those who didn’t have a positive time 💙. I’m holding off testing at the moment as I’m a bit too nervous 🫣. It’s not been very straightforward for me — July was only my 3rd period since my miscarriage in Feb. June’s bleed went on for 11 days, then July’s was only 3 days (from 23rd July) so things are still a bit all over the place. I ovulated around 8/9th August so my period could just be running late. I don’t want the disappointment of seeing a negative. I’m using the Clearblue Advanced Monitor and I think it prompts you when it’s time to test, so I might wait for that xx

Sorry to hear that!! Onto the next 🤍 what is the evening primrose supposed to do again? I do remember watching a video about that before but cannot remember what it’s about ! Xx

@MrsOverthinker25 EPO is to increase EWCM. I only get 1-2 days of it vs before I had my first (used to be 4ish) so wondering if it could help…clutching at straws though.

I want to start fertility investigations but don’t even know where to start with second baby. It’s all going to be private right aside from the hormone tests?

MrsOverthinker25 · 19/08/2025 21:11

Oh interesting! I will have to get some!

hmmm, I’m not entirely sure, maybe give it a quick google and see if any clinics come back near you? I’m sure they’ll give a breakdown on what they cover! Xx
