Hi ladies,

I'm on the dreaed TWW. I am currently 8dpo and having some odd symptoms. I've had cramping since 2dpo, nausea today for the first time and also a slight niggling pain in my right breast. I also feel really constipated tonight! Is anyone else in the same boat?

I'm 9dpo today and it feels like the longest wait ever, doesn't it? I've not had any symptoms so far but fingers crossed for us and anyone who might be in the same boat!

Lovely to hear someone else in in the same boat. How long have you been trying for? Wishing you lots of luck!!

It is! :) Started earlier this year and had a miscarriage in May, so really hoping for another positive and that this time it sticks 🤞 what about you? And lots of luck to you too!

So sorry to hear about your miscarriage. That must of been awful. This is our first month trying however we have do have a 2 year old already 🙂 I've been getting cramps for the past week. I have bought some pregnancy tests but I know its top early to do one yet!

It's not a club any of us ever want to be a member of but I will say that my GP and all the NHS staff I dealt with were just wonderful, they couldn't have been kinder and that really helped.
Oh that's lovely :)
I think the cramps seem to be something a lot of women get from the stretching and implantation etc. When do you reckon you'll do a test? I've got one left at home and have been soo tempted but like you say, too early and I'd rather wait a little longer.

I'm glad you recieved the support you needed. We are so lucky to have the NHS.

I reckon I will start testing from tomorrow and then over the weekend. How about you?

You're right @Rhian1991 we really are!
Haha oh I can't blame you though, I've been so close so many times😂I was thinking I'll start Saturday, see whether that makes a difference. If I don't cave that is!
Definitely keep me updated please, keeping fingers crossed for you!! 😊

Skippy90 · 13/10/2022 12:28

Was also going to ask how your symptoms are today, other than the cramps you mentioned?

Thank you! I'm keeping everything crossed for the both of us. I've still got cramping and my boobs have also been slightly tender on and off today. How are your symptoms? When are you due on? I'm due on Thursday.

So that's the only thing for me really, slightly tender boobs, which could just mean nothing at all. Let's see. I'm due on Monday, slightly shorter cycle but I did track ovulation fairly meticulously this month.

I think I can see a really faint line when zooming in. What do you think? Will you test again in a couple of days?
I did one today but negative. I hope it was just too early to test.

@Skippy90 It is a lot more obvious and pink in real life. It's so hard to capture it. I'm going to take another one today and the leave it a few days and take a digital one. Wishing you the best of luck!

I did a FRER with FMU just and it's positive too. Very very cautiously excited. Everything crossed this time it sticks

Congratulations to you too @Skippy90 🤍🤍 Maybe take a clear blue digital test?

Aw what a good news thread, congratulations @Rhian1991 @Skippy90
Keep a link to this thread saved and you’ll be able to look back on when you found out ☺️ I posted in an old forum so far back in it than I never found what I posted in my utter shock at it being positive. So are you 10dpo today?

Rhian1991 · 15/10/2022 16:14

@Sparklythings1 I'm 11dpo today and found out last night on a first response and today on a digital clear blue. Good idea about saving a link 🙂

Skippy90 · 15/10/2022 18:49

Brilliant idea, thank you @Sparklythings1! 😊 I'm the same as @Rhian1991, 11dpo today. It feels so surreal. I will probably do a digital one in a few days' time.
How are you feeling today Rhian?
