I’m 6dpo

And I’m totally symptom spotting....

Nose bleeds
Nightmares
Achey back/pelvis
Headaches
Tiredness

Ughhh and I know it’s all too early as implantation is unlikely. But I’m struggling. How do I distract myself ...
I was fine until this morning. Then the tww agony kicked in! Help!!!

@Kliz92 yes PMA for the win! AF after this one will be due on Christmas Eve - maybe we are destined to have Christmas miracles, who knows!

Kliz92 · 26/11/2019 10:07

@Girlinglasses I'm sure af is coming today or tomorrow. I had cramps last week but there weren't like the ones I had last week. But there is always next month!!! Where I can do all this again 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 just trying to stay optimistic! Xx

Girlinglasses · 26/11/2019 10:01

@Kliz92 3dpo is defo too early there's still hope! The time I miscarries, I used a FRER 3 days before AF was due and got a BFN but then 4 days later got a BFP with a normal Clear Blue test so I think you can never be sure until after AF due day has passed!

Kliz92 · 26/11/2019 09:52

It's just so difficult! Trying my hardest not to get carried away. I've had my bfn but it was only 3dpo so I've convinced myself it was just too early and I'll get my bfp! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Xx

Girlinglasses · 26/11/2019 09:41

Arghhhh I feel all of your pain. I've had some very dull cramps yesterday and today on and off, whereas normally when AF arrived she arrives with a bang (and excruciating tearing out ovary pain, none of this dull ache nonsense) but again I feel like so much of this is wishful thinking 😭 my temp was up around 36.9 the last few days which is higher than normal but yesterday dropped to 36.75 and today 36.65, which although that's still well above my cover line (and in line with my usual luteal phase temp) I feel like can't be a good sign. Tomorrow is 13dpo and AF is due, so I think of my temp hasn't had a sharp drop I'm going to text in the morning. That's reasonable right???? 😭🤯 My hopeful heart says omg what if this is the month and my cynical gut says roll on cycle 12 ☹️

MummaMonk · 26/11/2019 08:37

@HalfPenny28 I don't know how anyone has the discipline I did with my son but only bc we were on holiday! And I had no access. But at 12dpo I made hubby trek into the next town to get one 🤣

I just don't know how much more I can take I convince myself every month ☹️

Kliz92 · 26/11/2019 08:37

It's a form of torture I swear! The temptation to test this morning is at an all time high!! I've woken up feeling sooo sick and cramps too. But the cramp feel too similar to period pains so I don't think it's a sign of anything good! Xx

HalfPenny28 · 26/11/2019 08:35

@MummaMonk sorry to hear that :( I'm 8dpo and testing and still get a bit disappointed even though I know it'll be negative!

I don't know how people wait the whole two weeks!

MummaMonk · 26/11/2019 07:38

Well I'm thoroughly depressed.

I think the tests I bought are dodgy. I swore I saw a vvvvvvvvvvvfl on my strip tests - yesterday it was super clear but still vvvvvfl, and today... but 2 other brands stark white.

Why do I do this to myself.

I've even had a bit of nausea over the last 12hours. Wishful thinking I think ☹️

I feel like I'm out already and 9dpo today 😭😭😭😭

I don't know how much longer I can take the disappointment!

SunnyFlover · 25/11/2019 23:10

@Girlinglasses no, nothing at this point, don't have the same brand test with me here on holiday, so can't compare the progression. Will try to get same brand in Pharmacy tomorrow. No baby symptoms, but I can safely say I feel pregnant... with cheese! Just had a large fondue feast, oh god... 🤣
@Kliz92, so totally agree... It's like a self-help community, that provides the support when sometimes you can feel so alone ( trying to conceive often happens in "secret" from your nearest as dearest and therefore there is not that many people you can talk to). I love the chats here, it calmed me down, made me laugh, gave me hope and encouragement. All in one.

Kliz92 · 25/11/2019 22:49

The temptation of testing is just too much. I will admit I did a test in the week and it was a bfn but then I just convinced myself it was too early anyway so it'll be okay 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ but what will be will be! Xx

HalfPenny28 · 25/11/2019 22:29

@Banoffeepie91 I've had a cold too this month. Just after ovulation but you're totally right and it is more than likely just the time of year! I'll be 8dpo tomorrow and I'm so tempted to test! Af is due dec 3rd so I've got just over a week.

Banoffeepie91 · 25/11/2019 22:12

I’m 8 dpo AF due on Friday. No symptoms at all this month apart from a cold which can apparently be a symptom but actually I know really it’s just because it’s that time of year when people get colds haha!
Feels like the next few days are going to drag. I might cave and test on Thursday (read as Wednesday because I probably won’t make it to Thursday haha!)

HalfPenny28 · 25/11/2019 22:04

It's so weird! I was literally fine waiting until this morning (7dpo) and now I can't stand waiting! I just want to know if we've been lucky this month! So frustrating!

LEBW · 25/11/2019 21:43

5 DPO over here. 3rd month of TTC. Have had weird little twinges which I haven't had before.
This was my first month of using ovulation tests and just being generally less stressed. Debating doing a test which is insanity but the wait is making me feel like I'm loosing the plot.
Funny how we spend most of our sexually active years trying to not get pregnant, then all of a sudden it's all we can think about!!!!

Lf89 · 25/11/2019 21:31

I'm 5 DPO, I've felt so nauseous today. I've also got sore boobs, itchy nipples Confused, really bloated and I can't stop peeing! This wait is awful 😭

MummaMonk · 25/11/2019 20:11

@Girlinglasses yes totally this Confused

Yeah it's a relief to know I'm not the only one who is going mad - so nice to hear from other people in the same situation. I am fully determined not to test early this month but it's killing me!!! I also am pretending to hubby to be a sane and rational human being Grin Whilst at the same time checking out maternity clothes on ASOS because I am definitely pregnant but also crying in the toilets because I am definitely not pregnant..... 🙄🙄🙄

MummaMonk · 25/11/2019 18:21

I'm glad I'm not the only one.... although I'm driving myself mad with poas!

8dpo and tested yesterday and today with cheapies. And swear I saw a vvvvfl used another and bfn.

I swear I will loose my mind if I don't get a bfp this month!

Symptom spotting and convincing myself I am like every month.

Thanks for the solidarity everyone it's nice to know I'm not the only nutter who does this to myself!
I don't tell hubby bc he'd have me sectioned I reckon 🤣

HalfPenny28 · 25/11/2019 17:38

I'm finding the second week of waiting almost impossible! I was fine the first week but wishing the time away now! Promised myself I wouldn't test and have caved (knowing it'll be bfn because I'm only 7 dpo).

How are you all feeling? When do you think you'll test?

@Kliz92 that's exactly right, it's so nice having people to talk to going through the same things you are!

Kliz92 · 25/11/2019 13:08

At least we are all in the same boat! It's nice to have people to share you story with who know exactly what your going through!!!! Xx

Girlinglasses · 25/11/2019 11:13

@SunnyFlover any update? Keeping fingers crossed for you.

I am losing my mind- slept awfully last night- felt quite short of breath but think it could be just anxiety Hmm My temp dropped a bit this morning- 36.92 to 36.74 - so feeling downhearted, even thought it's still well above my cover line. I really wish I could figure out a way not to obsess so much!

Nalapuppy · 24/11/2019 16:28

Hey everyone! I'm only 4dpo and I feel horrendous today, nauseous on and off, prickly nipples, it's too early for symptoms, I think my body is playing tricks on me -.-

Girlinglasses · 24/11/2019 16:16

@MummaMonk so far to distract myself I've tried cross stitch (didn't work) and a bath (didn't work) so next step is going to be eating a pile of pasta Grin

Girlinglasses · 24/11/2019 16:12

10 days DPO and symptom spotting like crazy also Confused Sore boobs (although not uncommon for me) peeing a lot (or am I just drinking more!?) and my BTT is much higher than normal the last three of four days 😭🙈 two week wait = two week torture
