Entering the TWW wait! Whose with me?

[HanRose23]

Hello, I received my peak OPK reading today (2.43 on premom!). Partner is away until Monday, so we could only baby dance on Wednesday and I'm hoping that will cover it. So I'll be entering my TWW tomorrow or Monday and I'm wondering if there's anyone else in the same boat and in their TWW who wants to join me and wait with me? It can be so stressful and lonely and I'd love to have others to chat with ❤️

That’s a good idea too! I always feel better doing something early. I used to enjoy going for a run before work, felt like I achieved something already and set me up for the day 😊

Me too! I'm an early bird so I prefer being productive in the mornings 😀 hopefully it isn't raining haha!

Totally true that it’s so individual! I feel like trying gentle but consistent and regular? (Rather than a blast here and there 😅) and see how that goes.

do you mind if I ask how old you ladies are? I’m now 40 so age not on my side. Had some bloods done and don’t think anything stood out but just waiting for this scan as well.

@GreenApple121 I’m 39, also had general bloods done and keeping an eye on TSH level as it was over 7. No symptoms and gp wanted to retest in couple of months, so just keeping an eye for now.

You’ve both motivated me to check out some swimming times this week - thank you! 😊

That’s good they are keeping an eye on it!

I'm 26! 😀 happy 5dpo today ladies! You're getting there! X

@HanRose23 @GreenApple121 I’m hoping this week will go quickly focusing on work! 😊

Me too! But now I'm done work for the day and spiralling again hahaha! How you both feeling?? Xx

I can relate! I’m feeling exhausted and bit nauseous today, but not reading into it as have felt that way before! Think it’s just the joys of luteral phase! Also think it’s way too early to have any ‘symptoms’
Hope you’re both feeling ok and positive this week! 😊

@HanRose23 @GreenApple121 I felt a bit nauseous last night falling asleep, which is unusual, but it may have been because of the 3 vitamins I took later that evening 😂. Will take them earlier tonight! I also had a really vivid dream that I’d tested early and got a positive - it’s obviously on my mind!! I have some work I need to finish tonight so that will keep me occupied 😊 hope you are both doing okay!

That’s really interesting about the dream - when I did fall pregnant last August I had a dream about doing a test and it being positive right before I got a faint positive!

Wow! As I’ve only been trying for a short time and still learning each cycle, I’m feeling hopeful this month that my timing is at least better 😊

@GreenApple121 @Springcloud26 feeling so hopeful for the both of you! ☺️🤞🏻 that dream could definitely mean something, eeeeek! I'm off work today so going to try and keep busy. How are you both feeling physically?
I am symptom spotting already but it's so early that I know it's just the progesterone hahah xxx

Hi ladies,
how are you both doing?
what are your symptoms you’re spotting @HanRose23 ?
feeling back to normal today after headache and nausea yesterday. Slightly disheartened though as I saw on my Flo app notes that I had the same symptoms around the same time in my cycle last month too…

@HanRose23 @GreenApple121 busy day in work which has helped massively, and it’s 7 DPO tomorrow!
Feeling generally okay today and I’m trying to stay calm and relaxed! 😊

@Springcloud26 @GreenApple121 happy 7dpo today ladies! 🥳 you're almost there xx
How are you both doing?
I feel like I'm getting a cold, which isn't very pleasant at all. I've made a list in my notes app tracking how I'm feeling.. the past few days have been rough thanks to progrestone 😅 xxx

It’s actually going quicker than I expected! Will try to hold out testing until next Wed…

I’ve woken up with bad bloating / gassy / pain which I think is typical progesterone!

What DPO are you on now @HanRose23 ?

@HanRose23 Sorry you’re getting a cold! Hope it doesn’t progress much for you.il I also find it helpful keeping some notes each cycle!

@Springcloud26 Also feel this week is flying by! Im not totally sure if I’m 6 or 7 DPO… what day was your ovulation date? According to my app mine was 28th May but had my ovulation pains very early in the morning on 27th so not too sure!

I'm only 4dpo! Still a while to go, but it is going quite quickly xx

@GreenApple121 I think my ovulation day was 27th May but that is just based on getting my peak on 26th - I had no symptoms so can’t be sure!

@HanRose23 I have started making notes this cycle, and will use this as my first one where I have tracked ovulation as well as I can. It will be the first indication I have of how long my luteal phase is!

@HanRose23 @GreenApple121 how are you both feeling today? 8 DPO and I’m still suffering with stomach pains (definitely digestive related). No other symptoms!

@Springcloud26 hello! Breasts are a bit sensitive today, that's about it. Was up at 4am this morning, just couldn't sleep so I'm exhausted now.
How are you feeling? 8dpo! Very exciting. Did you mention you were going to test on Wednesday?

@HanRose23 ahh, Ihope you are able to sleep better tonight!

I’m feeling quite calm, yes if I can, I will wait until next Wed (14DPO) or even a couple of days after that to see if period is late. Think I am due next Thurs if the tracking is correct!

Part of me will want the excitement of testing early but also the longer I wait, the longer the hope is there for this cycle… if that makes sense!! I’d also prefer a clear answer rather than worrying I’ve tested too early, given cycles are irregular.

I’m really not expecting to have any symptoms either for implantation, if it happens (as I don’t for ovulation), so trying not to read into lack of symptoms either way!

are you managing to keep busy to keep your mind off the TWW?

Hi ladies!
thats such a good plan re testing @Springcloud26 ! Totally get what you’re saying about wanting a clear answer.

I’m really struggling with a bad headache today, but am ok apart from that. Work has been v busy as well as my daughter keeping me busy, so can’t believe it’s nearly Friday! I think I’m going to test early as I have that scan booked for Wednesday and want to know where I am ahead of that.
