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

12DPO - negative on a clear blue rapid. I’m counting myself out. Still feel the same and still “feel pregnant” but I’m just driving myself mad testing now! Gonna sit and wait for AF 😒

@MrsOverthinker25im sorry 😔 definitely have a treat day, sending lots of baby dust 🎉

10dpo and another bfp I'm pretty sure I'm out but I'll retest tomorrow. Chat gpt thinks I implanted either Monday or yesterday so it might be too early but I'm not hopeful. AI seems to keep me sane as I just throw all my charts symptoms and questions at it 🤣

Kirsty198511 · 20/08/2025 11:50

@MrsOverthinker25 definitely have a treat!
Chat GPT said I’m due my period around 27th August, I thought it was sooner but after putting in my ovulation dates which the clear blue advanced monitor and digital stick said I ovulated it said 27th. My patience is wearing thin now 🫣 xx

ThatNimbleOP · 20/08/2025 13:08

@MrsOverthinker25 sorry to hear you're out! Looks like we're super close in CDs though so happy to hand hold you through next month :)

CD2 for me....let's go!!

ThatNimbleOP · 20/08/2025 13:08

MrsOverthinker25 · 21/08/2025 11:28

@ThatNimbleOP awww that’s sweet thank you! I’d love that! 😍xx

Still BFN for me 🙃 I feel like I'm most likely out this month. Out of tests and debating if to restock or just wait and see what happens.

ThatNimbleOP · 21/08/2025 13:52

Does anyone have any good recommendations for hormone panel testers? i.e better then the ones the NHS give you after 1 year of trying?

I know there's Hertility but wondering if there's an even broader one around?

ThatNimbleOP · 21/08/2025 14:04

@BabyBorn BFP still going strong? :)

Kirsty198511 · 21/08/2025 14:14

AF is coming for me! I can feel it. Gutted xx

BabyBorn · 21/08/2025 14:18

Hiya! Thanks all! 🥰

I hope so @ThatNimbleOPive come away to wales for a few days so won’t be able to test again until Saturday morning 😮‍💨 Im only 12DPO so still such early days!! X

ThatNimbleOP · 21/08/2025 21:29

@Kirsty198511 sorry to hear that! How many months have you been trying for? Sorry not been following the whole thread

Kirsty198511 · 21/08/2025 21:53

@ThatNimbleOPthank you. I fell pregnant quickly in December but had a miscarriage in Feb. Bled for 9 weeks and July was my 3rd period. I have a follow up appointment at a women’s wellness clinic tomorrow. My first appointment went well and they said everything is looking good. It makes me more frustrated that I’ve not been successful this month knowing everything is ok inside! I am 40 though. I had my daughter at 30 and my son at 27. Fell pregnant quickly with them. Hopefully it’ll happen soon. What about you? x

MrsOverthinker25 · 21/08/2025 23:58

Awww @NatalieSF & @Kirsty198511 I’m sorry, I hope she doesn’t show her ugly head. It’s so annoying. All this trying and it really baffles me how so many people fall pregnant from one night stands!!

@ThatNimbleOP I hope you have found something? Maybe try starting a thread on here, there has to be a few people that will recommend places!

@BabyBorn I love Wales!! What part are you staying at?

Well I didn’t have any wine like I said I would and today I treated myself to a new pair of converses and a killer 2.5 hour gym session! I am sore. But it’s all good for mental health.. and the converses.. well.. just because I guess 👀 😅

OP posts:
BabyBorn · 22/08/2025 03:27

@MrsOverthinker25 Right by Snowdonia. North Wales. This place is just stunning! Have you been to North Wales?

A gym workout over wine sounds a very sensible decision! Well done to you! X

NatalieSF · 22/08/2025 09:58

Another BFN for me keep thinking I see a shadow but 99% sure I'm out and just waiting for AF on Sunday

TWW Anyone?
Kirsty198511 · 22/08/2025 10:40

Morning ladies, little update from me 💕
I had my women’s wellness scan and all looked good — ovaries and womb are fine, and she confirmed I’d ovulated from my left ovary 🙌 She said there’s no reason I shouldn’t fall pregnant, which was such a relief to hear after the miscarriage.

Then she asked about my partner… I told her he’s super fit and loves cycling — like a 30+ mile ride is just a “light cycle” to him 🚴‍♂️😂 She said that much cycling isn’t great when TTC, and also mentioned that saunas (which he was in and out of when we went to a spa during my ovulation window 🫣) don’t help either. Basically, his swimmers need less heat exposure!

She suggested we could look into a sperm test, but for now just cutting back on the cycling and saunas might be enough. Honestly, I feel like a bit of a weight’s been lifted because I’ve been worrying it was all down to me — but maybe it’s just a case of him needing to keep things a little cooler 🤣 Fingers crossed! ✨

Oh @NatalieSFI’m sorry. Sending hugs and positive vibes for next month.

Kirsty198511 · 22/08/2025 10:51

Also she said for ‘mature mums’ 🙄🤣🫣 start taking half an aspirin a day, has anyone heard of that? X

MrsOverthinker25 · 22/08/2025 13:55

@BabyBorn ooh lush! It looks stunning up there. I’ve never been to north wales but my family have a few times and they loved it. I’ve explored a lot of the south and west wales!

@NatalieSF I see the shadow too! I will keep my fingers crossed for you!!

@Kirsty198511 that’s good to hear. That’s mad about your partner haha, I didn’t know that would affect it either?!

yes I’ve heard of it, it’s called baby aspirin as it’s only a 75mg dose. It’s supposed to help prevent miscarriages too so I’ve heard. You can buy it from Amazon xx

BabyBorn · 22/08/2025 15:02

Hi ladies,

@MrsOverthinker25 i think I’ve only ever been to South Wales once. I’m always in North Wales! It’s only around 1 hour 40 minutes from us on a good run.

@Kirsty198511 im older too 😬 I had a miscarriage last month and I’m pregnant again this month! To think they say there’s a 5% a month chance! I’m just amazed it’s happened again so quickly!! Hopefully it will be your month soon. I was going to start aspirin for the next cycle if it didn’t happen this month but I’m not going to bother starting it now. I’m 13DPO.

BabyBorn · 22/08/2025 15:02

Sorry! It keeps posting my message twice every now and again for some reason! 😖

BabyBorn · 22/08/2025 15:06

I started seeing shadows at 9DPO @NatalieSF and mine looked like this..

ThatNimbleOP · 22/08/2025 20:35

@Kirsty198511 ive heard this too! Luckily my partner doesn’t indulge in sports anymore 😂 still vapes though which makes me angry!

Also oooh baby aspirin? What’s that for, blood flow!

Kirsty198511 · 25/08/2025 07:52

Morning ladies,

I hope you’re all doing well 💕 For those of you who don’t get a BFP this month, are you planning on trying anything new next cycle?

I’ve just started taking baby aspirin — mainly to help with blood flow and support implantation — and I’m also thinking of trying the cough medicine (guaifenesin). I’ll need to look into the best time to take it
Xx
