Entering the TWW wait! Whose with me?

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 ❤️

Thank you @HanRose23 @GreenApple121, I think this might be the most difficult part of TWW when every twinge / symptom could be period coming or implantation!

I will keep myself busy with a deep house clean this weekend!

HanRose23 · 06/06/2026 12:50

@Springcloud26 that's a good idea, I think I'll also do a deep clean of the house. Just ordered some pregnancy test strips off amazon, they come tomorrow!

Exciting! When do you plan on testing? I find it sooo hard to not test if I have them in the house! I did a test yesterday with not FMU almost to just get the urge out of the way - of course negative 😂 But managed not to test today!

saw a joke somewhere online
‘Is breathing a pregnancy sign? I’m only 2DPO’

@GreenApple121 @Springcloud26 the weirdest thing has just happened. Starting cramping and went to the loo and (TMI!) but I've got some spotting but it's almost orangey/rust coloured and never had this before.

That’s really promising for implantation bleeding/spotting?! Exciting!

HanRose23 · 06/06/2026 14:14

@GreenApple121 I'm trying to keep calm and I'm totally gaslighting myself to think it's nothing!

@HanRose23 oh yes implantation signs was my first thought too - everything crossed for you!

KatieBee25 · 06/06/2026 17:39

Just caught up on this thread. Good luck ladies still waiting to test. I think I'm 3dpo and going crazy already 😂

Springcloud26 · 06/06/2026 19:00

Welcome @KatieBee25! It’s hard to take your mind off it, isn’t it! How are you feeling?

Yes very hard! Just want the days to go quickly so I can start testing 😂🤦‍♀️ x

out of curiosity - do you feel you’ve done anything extra or differently this cycle?

Morning everyone! 😊

@HanRose23 How are your symptoms today? What DPO are you again?

@GreenApple121 How are you feeling, any changes? When will you test again?

@ELTWithACupOfTea Thank you! How are you feeling?

Going to be really annoying, it’s the month we barely gave it any thought, life was busy and I ovulated early so our timing was the worst it had been.

Also started getting migraines this cycle so was focused on that, took so many ibuprofen, naproxen and paracetamol I was convinced it would ruin our chances as I knew they weren’t okay during pregnancy. I guess it really was luck, which is the last thing i wanted to hear. We tried preseed lube, every day during the window, every other day but the month that worked was none of that 🤷🏻‍♀️ while we officially counted 5 cycles we did have 7, but the first two were after I had my nexaplon taken out so didn’t feel “genuine”.

I feel normal, no symptoms and without the test I wouldn’t even know which is crazy. Hope you’re all okay 🤞

Springcloud26 · 07/06/2026 09:41

@ELTWithACupOfTea Sometimes I guess it seems to happen when least expected! How are your migraines now?

HanRose23 · 07/06/2026 09:56

@Springcloud26 morning! 🥰 I'm 8dpo today, no symptoms or signs, nothing! Was up at 4am again this morning. I'm at work at the moment so that's keeping me busy. Xx
How are you? How many DPO are you today?

Springcloud26 · 07/06/2026 10:16

@HanRose23 hope work provides a good distraction for you! I had such a quiet day yesterday, I need to do something today!

I feel okay - I’m 11 DPO, the mild discomfort from yesterday has gone. I’m just waiting to see if AF arrives in next couple of days or I will test Weds/Thurs. I’m on CD 34, but expected a longer one with tracking ovulation this time. Longest has been 39 days and I’m usually around 32.

Thanks for your reply, it’s helpful to hear! At the end of the day it’s so down to chance isn’t it! So pleased for you 😊
did you have migraines in the TWW? I’ve had a couple of bad headaches and that’s been the only thing that’s been different but stopping myself from reading into it too much as can be to do with so many other things!

GreenApple121 · 07/06/2026 12:22

@Springcloud26 I’m good too thank you - how are you feeling? I might test tomorrow or Tuesday. Kind of dreading the sight of a stark white test again ….

Springcloud26 · 07/06/2026 12:52

@GreenApple121 I know how you feel, I’m sure AF is coming now for me. Do you have any symptoms?

GreenApple121 · 07/06/2026 12:58

No, no symptoms! The only thing that’s been different was my headache this TWW but that could be to do with anything!
hope you manage to stay distracted today! Did your tests arrive?

I did, they started the day I ovulated but the first migraine was a week after. I’ve never had them before, never suffered from headaches so no idea if they’re connected or not. Only had two more, both after going to the gym and for a run so maybe it’s my body’s way of saying chill out 😂

HanRose23 · 07/06/2026 13:37

@GreenApple121 fingers are crossed for you if do test tomorrow! Hope you're feeling OK and I completely understand what you mean. I'm scared too.
@Springcloud26 yes work keeping me real busy, finally on a break and catching up on the thread. I have a gut feeling that AF is coming for me soon too with vengeance.

I didn’t end up ordering them! 😂 decided to wait until Tuesday and if no sign of period, I’ll get them on next day delivery. Silly really, but didn’t want to tempt fate? Partner and I have come out for lunch and some shopping as a distraction!
