3dpo here 🙋🏼 Anyone wanna join me for the TWW?

@Beautifulblue thanks for the reassurance, I was so sure I wanted to test early (and am glad I did) but I wasn't expecting the huge level of anxiety that comes with it! I have 2 tests left that I don't want to waste (expensive!) so I'll take them on Monday when AF was supposed to be due, and then step away from the tests for good! And you're right it sure feels like my levels are high, I have symptoms galore now already! X

@Mseddy I was so sure AF was going to come I nearly didn't test! I felt like she was on her way, remember pregnancy symptoms and AF ones are so similar it's difficult to tell apart a lot of the time. Here's hoping you get your BFP tomorrow x

ps. I also wee a lot at night and what I would do is use my wee from my longest hold, e.g. if I went to bed at 11pm and woke up at 2am, I would probably wee as normal and use my wee from when I wake up for the day at 7.30am to test. Or if I woke up really early morning for the first time all night, say at 4/5am I'd collect my wee in a clean cup and then test with that when I wake up for the day. So many logistics 😂

@pemb congratulations!! I can 100% see it this time :) no mistaking that!

I'm feeling crappy about the whole thing today. I think I've let my hopes get too high this month even though I know the odds are stacked against us. I'm working all weekend and due AF on Monday at 11 DPO and every time I go the loo I'm dreading seeing the arrival of AF because I feel pre AF like! I know it's silly, but if rather find out this month isn't my month at home where I can mope, rather than at work :( I've asked my husband to buy a FRER today for me to do in the morning so I can see a negative before I go to work and then let my hope go before AF comes!

Is FMU better if you do it if you wake up early hours of the night for the loo? (I can pee 2/3 times a night) or when I get up?

Thanks in advance x

I took a CBD this morning at 12dpo and got this - was surprised as I thought they weren't as sensitive before AF is due? I didn't take a weeks indicator one on purpose so that I don't get obsessed about the numbers and trying to correlate them!

@pemb congratulations!!!! X

So there was a line!

@Beautifulblue thanks hun. Still early days but I'm hopeful. Really hoping AF doesn't come for you (and I really felt like she was coming before I tested so much so I nearly didn't - you're not out yet!) x

Thank you @Mseddy @Mamabear12 I'm still in shock! X

@rollerskaterdata congrats! Such an emotional roller coaster! I am out this month, period finally came after several days of confusion. SO ANNOYING! Its just so frustrating to have so many days of super light spotting making me wonder what the heck is going on. I am booking myself in for acupuncture and reducing drinking to once a week. I was having too many nights of two glasses of wine. I did notice the one month I was visiting family in another country and not drinking that much my period magically was 28 days cycle again so alcohol definitely has an effect even though others would say it doesn't.

@pmb I can't see anything sorry x

@rollerskaterdata congrats!!!! The first BFP of the thread! Yay! Hopefully more to follow! It's a lovely strong line too! X

Hey can anybody see a line?

@Stormwhale thanks hun! I should've known it was coming but was too scared to hope, I've been so emotionally all over the place the past few days and I never get like this ever! It's still early days hun so you're deffo not out, and let us know how you get on today at the doctors, really hoping it all goes well for you x

Oh my god roller!!!!!!! Congratulations!!! See, I told you you weren't out!!!!! Fantastic news!!!!

Another bfn this morning here at 8dpo. I'm seeing the Dr later this afternoon.

OMG I can't believe it!!!! 11dpo and got this this morning!

Roller, if I were you I think I would put a pause on that train of thought. If you can, wait until af is due and test then so you have the certainty either way. Sometimes it can be the limbo land that is hardest to bear. Once you know for sure you may feel calmer and more positive. Then I would revisit these thoughts and see how you feel about next month if you don't get your bfp.

I honestly do know exactly how you feel though as I'm pretty early on in the journey but am finding it super tough too. You aren't on your own, hopefully we can all see each other through.

@Stormwhale thanks, that made me feel a bit better. I feel so selfish saying this as I'm only on cycle 2 of TTC but this journey is already wearing on me and the disappointment is almost too much to bear. I want to stop but can't stop because I want a baby! I'm worried to stop trying and just see how it goes in case it takes that much longer because I won't be tracking and may mistime BD? I've not even got the dreaded witch yet and I'm all over the place!

@rollerskaterdata oh sweet, sorry you feel so blue. It's so hard to keep positive, but you aren't out yet. The highs and lows of ttc are brutal, can you do something to take your mind off it today? Bug unmumsnetty hugs for you.

I'm sure it's just too early @Stormwhale, hopefully you get that big shiny BFP in a few days!

I'm feeling pretty shitty to be honest. I don't want to speak negatively but I'm losing optimism this month. I have the leg cramps and heavy feeling in my lady parts (sorry TMI!) that I normally get when I'm on AF (even though it's still 5 days away). Had it last month too from 7dpo and sure enough AF came right on time. Thought I might have gotten away with it this month seeing as it didn't start at 7dpo like last month, but 10dpo today and it's started. Feeling really bummed out ☹️

Bfn here this morning. I really didn't want to test early, but as the Dr has asked me to I tested this morning at 7dpo and will test tomorrow too.

How are you all?

Sorry to hear that @Stormwhale. I hope your appointment goes well on Friday and you get a good outcome x

My boobs feel huge but they often do post ovulation so im not reading into that. Tbh I don't feel at all pregnant so who knows. Holding off to test if I can!

I have had an odd sort of day. I started feeling a bit like I had a uti last night, then went v faint on the school run this morning. I popped a wee sample into the doctors as I really haven't felt too well at all and temp has been up.

They have called me back and told me it's not an infection, but the glucose is high and the Dr wants to see me on friday to talk it over. They want me to do a pregnancy test as I said on the form that I could be pregnant, but I have explained that it may well be too soon to tell. They said that it could be caused by pregnancy, or diabetes.

My head is spinning a bit to be honest. I was expecting a course of antibiotics so the call blindsided me a little. I already have other health problems, I don't need any more.
