Too many threads and looking for friends to go through the TTC journey

I’ve recently noticed my hair, which I only used to have to wash twice a week, is getting greasy really fast. I washed it Saturday afternoon and it’s really greasy already. Could just be random though. Will try not to drive myself mad this week seeing if I feel different, I feel like many things could be symptoms of early pregnancy but also completely unrelated!

@Jenna30ttc - it doesn't raise my hopes exactly (I'm too much of a realist) but I think the early testing allows me to gradually get used to the idea of a BFN rather than waiting anxiously for longer and guessing symptoms. Like, I still know I am not fully out (especially as that second EWCM was only last weekend) but I also know that the chance is much smaller now, so I am able to look beyond this TWW into the next one. Does that make sense?

@peachypetite I could use a glass of wine! Stupid dry January! At least I know that I can have a couple of drinks on 1st with no guilt.

@peachypetite I could do with some wine 😛

What kind of symptoms would you expect? Sorry @eithneblue.
I’m drinking beautiful red wine tonight. May as well enjoy things that you can’t do when you’re pregnant!

@EithneBlue I'm so sorry! Its so shit! I don't know how us women do this every month. I don't want to get your hopes high but you still aren't out until af arrives. I hope you feel better soon

BFN exactly as I thought. Awaiting AF now so I can move on to the next cycle which should be any time between tomorrow and Thursday (so long as Ovia estimated correctly). Crappy PMS this month, though: my boobs were never this sore when I was on the pill. I guess my body still needs time to settle itself.
Blah. Off for a run.

@fingerscrossed95 yup. After cycle after cycle when you get that BFN or af arrives its so deflating and then you pick yourself up to try again but then comes the dreaded TWW and you just know within the first few days that 'yup I feel nothing' but yet have the slight hope that it could the the month. Its so draining. 🙄

@Jenna30ttc it's so hard isn't it, I'm trying my best not to imagine symptoms 🤣

@fingerscrossed95 not everyone experiences symptoms. So you aren't out yet. But I understand you feeling like that. I feel like that too. 😔

6 dpo today and still no symptoms what so ever :( feel like I am completely out

@EithneBlue its so shit isnt it! I don't even know what DPO I am because I don't knew when i ovulated. According to my flo app i ovulated on the 15th but I did an opk that day and it was negative. I don't think it's my month again. Rather be negative I suppose than have some hope and then get disappointed.

The TWW sucks. Ovia is telling me AF is due on Thursday, but also saying that I should take a pregnancy test tomorrow. I have one cheapie left, but I'll be pretty surprised if it's positive. I'll follow Ovia's orders, however, but then just wait and see whether AF shows before next weekend.

Technology is the source of all evil, methinks: I wonder if this was easier back when we all lived in caves?

Im due in 9 days! But haven't really thought about it too much as I've been pretty busy these last few days.

My period is due in 8 days. Luckily I have lots of fun planned next weekend so it will hopefully take my mind off it.

Why does the TWW take SO long????!!!!! I’m only 4dpo and I’m so impatient

@EithneBlue haha sorry for the confusion.No reason really for the name change just decided to change it. Im exactly the same as you!!! I have no idea if I have ovulated this month as I started testing from cd12 and I still haven't had a positive OPK So either I have missed it or I just haven't ovulated. In the meantime me and dh have been dtd every other day since cd11. No idea what DPO I am either. So i guess I'll wait till the 28th to see if af arrives. Im feeling much better than I did a few days ago thank you. I have no symptoms but then again I never do. I don't think it's my month either to be honest. I also ordered pre seed lubricant which arrived today so if it doesn't work this month I'l try the lubricant next month. I don't think I've noticed any ewcm either which is even more confusing! Let us know if af arrives. Sorry for the BFN but you could still be early DPO especially as you aren't sure when you ovulated. Fingers crossed.

Finally starting to try this month! Due period in a few days and then will be on it! It's been a long time waiting for husband to come round!

Every time I pop back in here there's more new people! Hello to all :)

@Jenna30ttc - I've been trying to avoid the internet and did totally get confused by the name change. I assume you're just trying to clarify your current TTC status?! ;) How are you doing this weekend - feeling better than before?

@MrsH0692 - sorry to hear AF showed - that does sound odd: the human body is very strange. Onward to the next cycle, I guess. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I'm still having a weird month. I never got a positive OPK, but had EWCM twice. I can't figure out if I ovulated later than the OPKs (I stopped around CD17), missed the surge, or not at all. We just DTD every 2-3 days throughout, until last weekend. Trying not to "follow a plan" or make sex seem clinical -- one huge advantage of coming off the pill for me is that it seems it was subduing my desire to DTD: for me, at least, that's made things easier.

I don't think this is the month for me, though I have sore boobs and some cramping, but I think I had that last month the only additional thing is a bit more CM than normal and some proper fatigue yesterday, but it was also Friday and a busy busy busy week at work -- I honestly feel like AF is going to pop up any moment (although I'm due on around Wednesday). Also I did POAS yesterday (at what I assumed was 11DPO but have no real idea - could be 11, could be 9, could be 5, could be that O didn't occur at all)- and it was BFN, which is also a giveaway that I don't think this month is the one ;) Next month I'm buying the cheap sticks because I obviously can't help myself. In the meantime I guess I'll wait out for AF.

Welcome @fingerscrossed95 as well! 😃

@MrsH0692 hope your ok today! That’s how I felt when mine arrived! We are back to it now, started straight off the AF hoping it makes a difference for us this month! Hope everyone has a nice weekend x

@MrsH0692 im sorry to hear that. I suppose now you know and can move on to the next cycle. Xx

@Jenna30ttc

AF arrived!! I’m on night shifts so wether that played a part in it being late I don’t know. But I’ve never been late before!

Gutted, but never mind! On to the next cycle!!

Xx

@fingerscrossed95 sorry to hear about your mc. But fingers crossed for you soon. Keep us updated.

Hi please can I join, TTC our first after a miscarriage in June, I'm 24 and partner is 25, 3dpo today, and tried SMEP this month for the first time, hope to see lots of BFPs :)

@Jenna30ttc my cycles have been irregular previously, only the last couple have calmed down so I def won’t be testing early. I feel okay at the moment, probably because I’m very early on my Ttc journey and know it’s likely to take a while. I would definitely be very shocked if I did get pregnant so fast.
