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 ❤️

@Springcloud26 not silly at all! I think that's actually a really good idea. Glad you've been busy today and I hope you enjoyed your lunch and shopping! ☺️
Finally home from work and about to have a hot bath!

Hi all, hope you don’t mind me joining. I think I ovulated late last night/early today according to my fertility monitor so entering the TWW, first cycle trying for No.2. I had a very faint positive at 8DPO last time so I will start testing then again this time 🤞🏼 wishing you all lots of luck for this cycle! ✨

Morning ladies!
took a test this morning and was negative. I kind of was expecting it, but you just can’t help feeling so disappointed.
How is everyone else doing?
welcome @SantiagoSister - wishing you a quick TWW!!

@GreenApple121 I’m sorry you got a negative, I understand it must be really disappointing. Could you still be too early? Will you test again?

I’m feeling okay, no sign of period yet. My app says to take a test today but will still hold off until Wed.

@SantiagoSister welcome! Fingers crossed for you this cycle!

@ELTWithACupOfTea how are you feeling, any symptoms?

Hope everyone else is okay? @HanRose23 @KatieBee25

Only 4dpo but joining if that’s ok 🥰 Hope everyone keeping busy!

Thank you! It’s very disappointing I must say… I’m nearly 41 so don’t know how long to keep going for really.
I might test again jist in case on Wed morning before my scan, but not holding much hope - I’m 11DPO today and always had a positive by this time when been pregnant in the past. I also had sensitive test. Not even a shadow on it…

hope you’re doing ok and it’s promising that no sign of period yet!!

DandelionPockets · 08/06/2026 08:49

@laesosalt 4dpo too. What day will you test?

KatieBee25 · 08/06/2026 08:59

5dpo here! Will test 10dpo 😂🙈 I always say I'll wait but never do. What about you? @DandelionPockets @laesosalt

laesosalt · 08/06/2026 10:01

I’m going to try and hold out until 10dpo 👀 Fingers crossed for us all xx

DandelionPockets · 08/06/2026 10:04

I'm telling myself not to test before 12dpo...

Springcloud26 · 08/06/2026 10:20

12 DPO today and I’m going to wait until 14/15 DPO. My partner said why don’t you wait until you are a week late! 😂

laesosalt · 08/06/2026 10:44

@DandelionPockets You can do it! Says the one who is hopeless at waiting 😂

@Springcloud26 You’ve done amazing waiting until now! Eeeeeeek ☺️ Haha could you imagine our other halves waiting to find out 🤥

HanRose23 · 08/06/2026 10:49

@GreenApple121 I'm sorry that it was negative lovely. It's a horrible feeling. Hope you're doing OK. Xx

I'm 9dpo today, should be getting my period in around 5 days but too scared to test and be heartbroken!

Thanks for being so welcoming ladies, wishing you all lots of luck for this TWW. I am the most impatient person so I cannot wait to start testing, even though I’ve still got at least a week to go before I can start 😅

I’m 1/2DPO today and I’ve been having strange cramps since I ovulated, which isn’t usual for me. Feels like AF is about to start type cramps. I’ve done some MN research and it seems that a few people have had this and then got their BFPs, so I’m hoping that’s true for me too 🤞🏼 only time will tell!

ELTWithACupOfTea · 08/06/2026 13:53

@GreenApple121 I’m sorry 💐 it’s such a hard place, I hope you’re feeling okay.

@Springcloud26 symptoms started today and I feel like I’ve been run over, but I can’t bring myself to complain because I’ve waited years to feel like this.

I’ll quietly leave the thread now, I don’t want to be that poster who goes on while others struggle. Hopefully I’ll see some of you on the Due in Feb thread soon 🩷💙

Springcloud26 · 08/06/2026 15:54

@ELTWithACupOfTea Wishing you all the best! 😊

GreenApple121 · 09/06/2026 10:58

Hi ladies! How’s everything doing? Any early testing?…

KatieBee25 · 09/06/2026 12:06

@GreenApple121 6po today and symptom spotting like crazy 😂 ... even though the times I've been pregnant in the past I don't even remember having any symptoms in the tww! But I've got some cramps, increased discharge (sorry tmi) and vivid dreams but sure I'm just imagining that they are early pregnancy signs 😂
really want to wait to 12dpo to test but I know I'll cave and be testing 9/10dpo 🙈 how are you? X

Springcloud26 · 09/06/2026 13:54

Hi all! I’m 13 DPO today, no change! One more day and I’ll order tests if no sign of period tomorrow!
Hope everyone is doing okay.

HanRose23 · 09/06/2026 14:13

Hi ladies 😀
Hope you're all feeling OK!
I'm either 9 or 10 dpo today, no symptoms just still got sore/sensitive nipples!
I took two tests and both have squinters on them, not going to read too much into it as they could just be evaps/indents and I don't want to get stung. Xx

I remember having increased discharge and vivid dreams in my TWW with my last pregnancy too! Here’s hoping for you 🤞🏼

Hi ladies! How’s everything doing? Any early testing?…

Think I’m 2/3DPO today, cramps I had yesterday have calmed a little but are still there. Not expecting any symptoms until next week possibly. How are you doing?

SantiagoSister · 09/06/2026 14:28

I absolutely admire your patience in waiting for your period to be late before testing, I wish I could do that! Here’s hoping it doesn’t arrive tomorrow for you 🤞🏼

I got my first squinters at 8 & 9 DPO in my last pregnancy, I hope this is the same for you and you see some progression over the next few days. Which tests did you use?

HanRose23 · 09/06/2026 14:36

@SantiagoSister Thank you so much! 😬 I'm scared. I used the One Step brand...but just read online that they're awful! Honestly just think they're evaps, or I need glasses haha xx
