Thanks ladies 🥰🥰

Fingers crossed @caty86 that you lp is a bit longer this cycle!! I'm trying not to symptom spot as I know it's too early but it's so mind consuming isn't it.

That's a good idea @PlanBea let nature take its course per se. We took the relaxed approach for most of last year and tbh when we first went into lock down I did say to DH that we should stop and then a day or so passed and I thought who am I kidding.

So so sorry for your loss @emiliet123. Fx crossed for you!! Love that your DH is on it I know mine would give the tests up in a second if I said hide them. But everything related to TTC is so expensive!!

I agree @caty86 it's so much harder atm as there's little distraction and the days just tick over.

How many DPO are you @Lily2020?

hi all!
I'm 3dpo, AF due 6 May. Every day is going soooo slowly and am just feeling very anxious about it all

@emiliet123 I'm so so sorry for your loss. And yes, not getting hopes up isn't ever as easy as it sounds....hoping for the very best for you though💕

caty86 · 27/04/2020 10:37

Hi emeliet123 lovely to meet you. So sorry for your loss. 😢. I know its very hard not to get your hopes up. Ttc is such a hard time emotionally. I think I am finding it harder in quarantine as I am focusing on it so much.

Hi planbea lovely to meet you. Relaxing about it is the right thing to do but so hard. We only dtd when we felt like it this month but now I'm paranoid it wasn't enough. We dtd all the time the month before and it made no difference 😂

Hey all, lovely to meet you! 🥰 sorry to hear about your MMC @MrsLBear, sending lots of warm thoughts your way!

@planbea that’s totally understandable. But it’s soooo hard to “be relaxed about it” during the TWW, isn’t it? It’s not like DH has random twinges/headaches/stuffy nose causing him to symptom spot! 😂 I’ve got my DH hiding the tests from me and he shares my Clue calendar, so at least he’s in the loop as well.

@caty86 the cost of tests soon adds up, doesn’t it?! I think I spent about £20 last month I tested that frequently, but I’m determined not to buy more this month! I have two FRERs lying around so trying to hold out until day AF is due.

I’m 8dpo, AF is due Sunday 3rd. We’re TTC after losing our girl at 24 weeks at the start of the year - this is officially cycle 2, but it took us 4 cycles to get pregnant the first time - so I’m trying really hard not to get my hopes up... but we all know how that goes! 🙈

PlanBea · 27/04/2020 09:36

Hi all, I'm 3 dpo but started TTC January 2019. DH and I had a big discussion about continuing TTC with everything going on, but after 16 months we decided to just be a bit more relaxed about trying rather than stop.

Sorry to hear about your MMC, @MrsLBear

caty86 · 27/04/2020 09:19

Hi MrsLbear,

Sorry to hear about your MMC. Fingers crossed we all get our BFPs this month.

I know I am normally ok the first week and then the second week I symptom spot everything. Started to take some vitamins last month so I am hoping they might help. I have a short luteal phase. I ovulated earlier this month so I am hoping this has extended the luteal phase.

MrsLBear · 27/04/2020 09:16

Hiya! Hope I can join.
I'm 6dpo and af due 5th May also!
Trying for my first. Cycle 12 since mmc.
I've not bought any tests either and I don't plan to either until af due date if I still haven't come on.
I feel like this is the slowest tww ever!

caty86 · 27/04/2020 08:59

Hi Lily2020,

I am also in the 2WW about 5 dpo and due AF on 5th May. Is this your first?

I have purposely not bought any tests and I am going to try and wait for AF. I am on cycle 4 TTC no. 2 and have spent so much on tests already lol. Had no trouble conceiving no.1 so getting a bit worried and fed up.
