TWW Anyone?

Is anyone else in the TWW?! I'm 2dp5dt and determined not to test until my OTD.

As much as the last couple of days have been dragging, I must admit I do find it v exciting!

Only thing I've noticed is serious bloating to the point where I've had to just go and change to a loose pair of shorts. I know it's too early to be anything pregnancy related but your mind does wander 🤣.

Yes! I am eight days past ovulation. Having to be very patient...

What does 2dp5dt mean?

It's so hard to be patient! When are you planning to test @WildWhirlwind?

I had an IVF transfer so I'm 3 days past my transfer with a 5 day embryo which means I'm roughly about 8dpo x

@Lcm11 I'm also 3dp5dt, with an FET. There's a July FET board with lots of people who've transferred recently if you'd like to join us!

I'm also quite bloated but def put that down to the meds.

Ahh thanks @kirstysmbc I didn't see that thread, will take a look! X

@Lcm11 thank you for explaining, so much to learn in this fertility world! I should learn a bit more about IVF.

I don't think I'm going to test. I had a MMC earlier this year and think I find it easier when my body just tells me what the deal is. I guess it leaves more days of hope, rather than testing earlier and killing all the hope?

Lcm11 · 26/07/2024 07:24

Oh I'm so sorry about your MMC. Yes you're so right, it's better to just wait and still have the excitement. Keep having to remind myself that. Fingers crossed for us x

I caved and did a test this morning! 10dpo and negative, but weirdly not feeling so bad about it... It is only 10dpo.

How are you feeling?

Lcm11 · 26/07/2024 13:54

Oh no but you still have time! Did you use a FRER?

I'm ok thanks, got a really busy weekend planned which will keep me distracted. Think I may test early on Weds or Thurs but will see how I go next week. My official test day the clinic gave me is Friday. Terrified of it being negative so maybe I will just wait until Friday and put the disappointment off so I have the weekend to get over it. Just thinking out loud 🤣

Oh, good for you! One day feels like three so we need all the distractions!

Sounds like you've got a plan for next week. Even if you do wait until Friday, there may just be other signs before... 👀

I swear I've never wished other women on the internet who I've never met be pregnant so much! It's like one big manifesting hub.

Lcm11 · 26/07/2024 17:45

I know it's crazy isn't it! I really hope this month is the one for us both. 🤞🏼

When will you test again do you think?

OP posts:

Same for you!!

So, despite saying I would wait, I actually will test again in the morning. My fiancé is going away for three nights so I want to do one before he goes, probably just for the heck of it (hate to sound like I'm flippant - I'm really not). I fully expect it to be negative but I then won't test until Tuesday morning, which is going to draggg. I don't want to do it on my own so would rather wait for him to get back.

I have the Easy @ Home ones to see any line progression, as opposed to before where I used the digital ones which just say pregnant/not pregnant.
