Is it just me or does the tww turn you into a completely neurotic manic?
I am in the first week of this, unsure of when I ovulated as I had strong positives from Tuesday to Friday last week.
I know that nothing is going to happen in the first week but I am symptom spotting like crazy!
Definitely feeling a bit crampy atm.

It's just so hard not to convince yourself that this is your month!
The wait continues lol!

I’m either 3 or 4dpo and I’m driving myself crazy. I smelt coffee yesterday at work and convinced myself I must be pregnant as I could smell some coffee someone else was drinking 😂 I know it’s far too early for symptoms yet!

I’m so impatient but I’ve decided I’m going to wait until at least next Weds to test when I will be about 10/11 dpo

I’m 5dpo today I think, I got a peak on my clear blue monitor two days in a row. Last Thursday and Friday then went to high on Saturday so I’m not sure when I ovulated maybe Friday? I’m driving myself absolutely crazy!! I’m really hoping this is my month. Everyone around seems to be having Babies and I can’t help but feel so down.x

I am so glad it's not just me!! I found myself giving my boobs a squeeze earlier just to feel if they felt sore so not!!
I'm going to try and hold out until Friday next week Confused before testing.
I only have one pregnancy test at home, I really want to keep that until a time where I will be far enough into the wait to get an accurate result. I don't want to spend a fortune on tests again this month Grin

I have a few at home as I order from amazon. But I have real will power not to test because I hate seeing a negative test I rather see AF! Our bodies can be so cruel, l have a regular 28/29 day cycle and last month I really thought I was pregnant. My AF is never late I tested day after AF was due thought I could see a really faint line then got AF 5 days late!Sad

Yes agreed!

Only second time TTC. Am 3 or 4 dpo. Told myself no symptom spotting. Can't be possible etc. And here I am 🤷‍♀️

I had 4 days of consecutive opks too!! So not sure when i ovulated!! And i think its totally ok to spot your symptoms but make sure u note them down for reference.


I was pregnant last month but ended up in Chemical Pregnancy. I can tell you i have symptoms as early as 1dpo. Backache and cramps especially.

This month i have the exact symptoms plus tender boobies. I'm hoping this is our month!!! A proper BFP!


Anyway sending you ladies baby dust! ❤️

I had a miscarriage in October and chemical last month. I have been trying to convince myself to stop thinking about it but I can't! Although I'm symptom spotting and counting down the days to test I have a nagging doubt that it's not happened this month Sad

@vvmummy im so sorry to hear that and i can totally feel how disheartening this could be!! But stay strong!
I think u should jus take it easy and don stress yourself out! I know this can be hard because i'm feeling exactly the same! They say you could be more fertile after a loss so do not give up hope! U might just get your BFP this round!!! If not, try again!!! Jus stay positive hun! Xx

@stery I think I had a chemical last month as well because I had a really faint line on a test and my AF is never late but this time it was 5 days! So hoping for BFP this month too. I’ve been actively trying since October 2018.

@vvmummy it’s all I think about too. Try so hard to not to but it’s impossible.
Baby dust to us all ✨

I order some tests Confused a cb digital, 2x frer and some strip tests! Lol! Woke up to cramping today. Definitely had some pain/tingling in my boobs and loads of creamy cm, loads of it. My head has been sore all day and I just feel rotten.
As you can see I'm utterly failing and not symptom spotting Grin

Hi ladies. I think I’m 7dpo today if I got peak on clear blue monitor last Thursday and Friday I think I may have ovulated Friday maybe!? Which would mean today I’m 7dpo I’m cramping so much like AF is on her way but not due for another 5 days at least if this is a 28 day cycle. So keeping my fingers crossed for all of us x

@Mrs71 been trying since September 2017 Sad I have pcos, but this would be our third and feel pregnant very quickly before. I've had 4 miscarriages since we started trying again in September 2017.
I tested. It was negative. Despite not feeling hopeful for this month it's still upsetting. I don't even know how many days past o I am so not out yet lol!
Hope you're doing well x

@vvmummy I’ve been trying since sept 2018. I really didn’t think it would take this long. I know it it isn’t long, but I thought I’d get pregnant in a couple months. I’m CD 26 today I think I’m about 9dpo but holding off testing. I know how disheartening it is seeing that blank test! That’s why I rather not test. x
