2WW looking for company 😊

[Chikas]

4DPO, really tried to go it alone but think it may be nice to have some ladies to chat with and share experiences whilst we wait x

I'm only 4dpo and it's killing me! I'll join you ladies! Xx

This morning I felt like Af was here but thats gone. One thing I noticed and its probably not related but i had some very sharp stabbing pains only for like a second or two and I really noticed it as I was sat woth my little girl in bed this morning playing and I just had to stop for a second. Then followed the "AF" feeling and now nothing... 🤔🤔

@Biscuitbaby2218 sorry to hear of the bloating, I have felt a bit like this today, I even thought AF had come but that ache has now gone away and no sign!! 🤞

@Moosey898 your not far off my timing! I am.11dpo. I tested at 9dpo negative! It pit me down a bit so now trying to hold out. I spoke off AF as not sure when it will.come due to stopping the mini pill. So not 100% sure on my timing. So your testing Friday, two more days! Do you have any symptoms?

@Chikas any symptoms you have noticed yet? Agreed TIME HAS FROZEN!

I didn't know that either about the tea - that's interesting.

Did you pick a TV show to binge? I feel like it's really helped me this cycle but maybe a bit too much because I am not dreaming about Greys Anatomy lol

I keep googling my chances of being pregnant and Google AI keeps telling me it's a 'significant chance' if I DTD the day or two before ovulation - which is what we did. Is it really that 'significant'? From what I've read it can be more like 20-30% each cycle which doesn't feel really that 'significant'.

Welcome to the gang @HallidayJones6779 😊

@Orangeroses243 could that feeling you had be implantation? When are you due to test again? As for me, symptoms eeerrmmm other than the bloat, but similar to @Biscuitbaby2218 it’s probably just the hormones trying to trick me, haven’t got much else. My nipples have gone slightly bigger and darker, but I’m not falling for that as I have done in the past. I did have some stabby feeling in my left breast earlier which is unusual I guess. Oh the symptom spotting!!!!

@Moosey898 also welcome 🤗 testing on Friday, yey we love testing. I will live vicariously through those ahead of me.

@thismonthsfad im glad greys is helping, honestly! I’ve just started Victoria - I don’t know but really seem to be into historical dramas at the moment. I mentioned Downtown Abbey the other day and before that I fell in utter love with the Crown, so hoping this Victoria is as good and hooks me in so much that I forget I’m even in a TWW. Fingers crossed 🤞

Anyone else got any symptoms happening for them?

I think it means significant compared to that, or at least that's how I've always looked at it 😂 but you're right, generally speaking there's around a 20-25% chance each cycle (not taking age and other individual circumstances into account of course! Just the average).

@Orangeroses243 no symptoms for me but I've been pregnant 5 times now and each time I've never had symptoms before AF was due!

I think they always say a couple days leading up to is good as the swimmers will already be in waiting when the egg is released (ovulation), rather than aiming for the day of ovulation where it’s difficult to tell whether you’ve caught the egg or not, if you know what I mean.

Apparently two days leading up to ovulation, day of ovulation and day after ovulation are all significant 😊. It only takes one but the more you can hit either or all of those days the better.

Hello lovely ladies ! I’m 6dpo today. The wait is about to feel even worse 😂 also getting fluttery uterus spasms all morning which I know is probably nothing so I’m having to shut my own thoughts of hope down 🤣 I don’t want to convince myself again just to see a bfn! How are you all doing today ?

@Biscuitbaby2218 hope your doing ok, hang in there it feels like forever!
I am 11dpo. Yesterday morning I had stabbing sharp pain lasted like 1 seconds took my breath away read some really positive stories on bfp following this as a sign of implantation but like you feel like o domt want to get my hopes up so am not testing today 😅🙌
Have you has these flutters before? Or is this a new occurrence your experiencing 🤔 x

@Orangeroses243 ooo fingers crossed for you !! I’ve heard positive stories about that too ☺️

im still having the weird popping/ fluttering feeling ! I’ve never experienced it before not even in my 2 previous pregnancies so goodness knows what’s going on 😅 I’m trying not to look too much into it cause I really don’t wanna set myself up for disappointment! I must say though it’s hard to ignore especially since it’s been happening on and off since 7am it’s happening right now as I type 🫣 I suffer from trapped gas quite frequently so I know it definitely doesn’t feel like that usually does for me 🤷🏼‍♀️ only time will tell I suppose ☺️

Hi ladies,

Hope you’re doing well @Biscuitbaby2218 @Orangeroses243 nice to hear you’re experiencing new symptoms. It’s a bit sad isn’t it that TTC takes away the joy and excitement of TTC if you know what I mean. Like i totally relate to both of you re not wanting to get hopes up but the other part of me is like the hope of a bubba is so much to be excited about. Sigh…don’t get me wrong, I’m same, don’t want to get my hopes up too.

Im 7DPO today and im feeling more hormonal than physical symptoms. Im feeling jittery and anxious almost which is unlike me. There’s nothing to be stressed over but yet i feel I dont know, weird. 🤷‍♀️

I'm 6dpo, 7 at best and I am so anxious. Had backache since ovulation really but it's eased now (and that's been quite normal for me the last few cycles anyway). I have a bit of an uneasy tummy too.... but I think that's just anxiety! Boob was tingling but I think I'm just over analysing every little twinge as that's only really there when I think about it.. so I'm not sure that's even there at all. Plus all these things are quite normal for the luteal phase anyway, I think! I wish we could fast forward the next 5 days!

@Biscuitbaby2218 thats interesting 🤔 ive never experienced it but something going in with uterus there! 🤞🤞

@Chikas I know! I mean I still feel excited and after my pain early am yesterday I want to test but because of not wanting to see a negative I am holding out 😅😅
Funilly enough at around 5 to 6 dpo I felt very anxious! I also have felt more emotional than usual too! Its eased off a bit now to be fair but something I felt a few days ago!

Absolutely!! I really want to just allow myself to be excited at the thought of a possible baby growing but also I don’t feel like I can allow myself to cause that will make it much harder if it doesn’t pan out.

i really am hopeful for us all this cycle ! Cautiously optimistic 😅

I’ve heard increased anxiety can definitely be a thing so if it’s out of the norm for you it perhaps could be a good sign! I’m crossing all my fingers and toes for us all 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

It’s Friday ladies - yey!

For those testing, baby dust all over you ✨ and for the rest of us, I hope we have busy weekends to distract us 😬

8DPO! whoop

10dpo for me and BFN. I've always had a positive at this stage so going to assume I'm out. Disappointed but not surprised, only our first month trying again this time round.

@Chikas 8dpo !!! Exciting 😄😄😄 anything out of the ordinary?

@Moosey898 sorry to hear about your negative :(

hope everyone is doing well and manages to stay distracted this weekend for those waiting to test ☺️

Bfn negative for me. Assuming thats me out to be honest!

As for the rest of you ladies lets see some more positives ✨️😊x

Hiya

@Moosey898 Im sorry, hope you’re okay, wishing you a better next cycle.

@Orangeroses243 I’m sorry also. At least weekend is here, have a little treat 😊

Would either of you be doing another test in a couple of days or you’re going to wait til missed AF?

As for me, nothing out of the ordinary today, yesterday was pretty bad anxiety wise - I was just off, but today my mood is back to normal.

@breadqueen @HallidayJones6779 @thismonthsfad How are you guys doing today?

@Chikas im definitely not testing anymore. Will wait for AF.
When I was pregnant with my little.girl I had no symptoms nothing out of the ordinary. I would of never have known until 9 weeks symptom wise.
So just maybe this is you right now!
I will be staying on the this thread so keep us all posted! Sending you all the luck 💖

Sorry to you who are out of the game this month! Sending best wishes to you all.

I'm now 7dpo (maybe 8). I've still got nausea and a heaviness in my lower abdomen but the backache has eased even more today and my anxiety has lessened today too.

I'm trying not to read too much into the sensations because I've had some pretty severe pms symptoms the last few months so I know I've felt these same things then too, only we weren't trying and I didn't take much notice.

I wish I had at least written down when and how long these things lasted as I'd have a bit more of an idea about whether my body is trolling me or not now! Anyway, deep breaths and keeping busy.

@Orangeroses243 I think you may still be in with a chance esp as you haven’t really gotten symptoms in the past. I’ll be waiting with you for missed AF to check too, so fingers crossed for us x

@HallidayJones6779 funnily enough I was looking at my data from last pregnancies (ended in mc unfortunately) and the one out of the two of them I experienced a day of anxiety, but that was a week after positive test. If you use any of the apps, you can use those to log your symptoms x

Hey @Chikas

How are you doing today? I am all good, I am 9DPO today - my temps are still high which is a good sign, AF is due in 6 days. I will probably test on Sunday (11DPO). I haven't had any symptoms apart from sore boobs which is normal in the lead up to AF...

How's things your side?

Hiya ladies

@thismonthsfad glad to hear you’re good and fingers and toes crossed for Sunday for you.

Im 8DPO today, right behind you, I’m too scared to test any sooner than a missed AF though eeeekkk 😬

I haven’t had any symptoms today though, but then I’ve been rather occupied, so haven’t had a chance to focus on my body, but having said that, I don’t have any obvious symptoms.

Any weekend plans ladies? Anything to take our minds of the TWW? We are going to Halifax to visit family, hopefully that should do the trick 🙃
