Hey guys,

So I'm in my 6th TWW and roughly 6/7dpos. (Ive stopped monitoring.. for now). I was doing sooo well and now I'm on the obsessive googling stage.

I get a little crampy around this time every month.. I think. 🤣 so I've just been trying to work out what implantation cramps could feel like 🤯

Does anyone else feel like when you aren't TTC the time between periods go super quick but when your in your TWW if feels like the whole of 2020 within that two weeks 🙈

Why can't I just CHILL!!!

SO hard! And then the symptoms don't seem to mean anything anyway! 😂 Hope you get your BFP this month x

kaffy197 · 09/01/2021 17:48

@bluemagicalsky I said that last month but it's hard not to isn't it!
Also I can't never remember what my "normal" symptoms feel like!
It's easier when I'm busy at work to not think about it. There is almost too much technology at our disposal to look for signs in temp, heart rate etcetc!

bluemagicalsky · 09/01/2021 15:39

I caved and tested with a CB how many weeks test (only one in the house) and got a BFN. Fairly sure that's me out as I'm at est 15DPO. Really going to try and not symptom spot going forward!!! 🤪

beckyBP · 09/01/2021 13:34

@bluemagicalsky defo with you on the TWW scared to DTD situation. 😂🙈

@summer249 that's doll. I was super down about it at the time but fine now. Yea totally, there's a pressure to DTD which I reckon makes you want to do it less!

@peach1234 sorry doll. AF will be here any minute for me too. I had a tiny bit of spotting yesterday.. just when I wiped (sorry!) and I can literally feel it coming 😞

@kaffy197 totally with you on the running out of energy.. and desire 😅

Good luck @MsCrapola let us know! You too tomorrow @bluemagicalsky

Thanks @MsCrapola I really thought I might have been the only one! The stress we all put ourselves through 🙈 Best of luck for your test! Let us know how it goes! I'm testing tomorrow morning if AF doesn't arrive tonight 🤞🏼

MsCrapola · 09/01/2021 11:59

Hi everyone! Hope everyone is okay. I am 14dpo today and going to do a test. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼 xxx

Also @bluemagicalsky YES to the irrational thought of straining for a #2 BlushGrin

bluemagicalsky · 08/01/2021 23:52

@kaffy197 Hahaha I know the feeling, it's a nice break! 🤣

Sorry @summer249 I've never used opks so have absolutely no idea. When in doubt, DTD? 🤷🏼‍♀️

kaffy197 · 08/01/2021 18:52

@bluemagicalsky we don't usually dtd in the tww but mainly because I have run out of energy by then 😆

summer249 · 08/01/2021 11:26

I had a positive OPK yesterday morning and again this morning - what does that mean?! Confused

bluemagicalsky · 08/01/2021 11:19

@peach1234 Glad I'm not the only one!! I think I'd be the same! So frustrating that AF arrived for you just after you bought a test 😢 Hope you're okay.

@summer249 Same! It's all so confusing isn't it. Every symptom can mean 100 different things! Not helpful! 😂

summer249 · 08/01/2021 10:09

@beckyBP ahhh no way! I'm so sorry bloody COVID got in the way of your wedding  I hint at a ring but starting a family is so much more of a priority for me rn!
Had a positive opk yesterday and dtd yesterday and the day before but feeling like it would be a bit of a chore to do it again tonight, anyone else get this feeling? Usually if we aren't really in the mood once we get started it's great but feels a bit unnatural to go against how you're feeling!
@bluemagicalsky hi! The irrational thoughts are non stop for be I've become so obsessed with everything going on in my body  hope AF doesn't show for you this week - keep us updated!
@peach1234 sorry to hear AF arrived with a bang for you today - rest up and look after yourself ahead of your new cycle BrewDaffodil

peach1234 · 08/01/2021 09:58

@bluemagicalsky yep we didn't dtd the whole time I was preg the first time because we were both too scared 🙈 lol

Went to get a clear blue test this morning and came back to AF full force 😞

bluemagicalsky · 08/01/2021 08:36

Anyone else have the following irrational thoughts? I know they probably have no relevance whatsoever but can't help but think them! Or am I the only crazy here? 😂

  • Worried about DTD in the 2WW in case it somehow dislodges an implanted embryo
  • Worried about straining for a #2 in case it somehow dislodges an implanted embryo
bluemagicalsky · 07/01/2021 22:44

27 over here too and TTC #1 I'm on cycle 3. Right now, I'm either 2 days late for AF, or AF is due in 2 days time 😂... doing well 🤪

beckyBP · 07/01/2021 22:33

@summer249 it's SO helpful to talk, and to talk to people in the same boat which is why I love these threads. I wish I had some words of wisdom!! All I can say is talk talk talk. You'll always feel better 🤍

We've been together 12 years now and living together for 9 years. 10 and a half when I got the ring (FUMING it took so long tbh) 😂😂 we were due to get married in June 2020 but yeah.. 🦠😑

OP posts:
summer249 · 07/01/2021 22:10

Ah that must be hard, especially while you're not allowed to go out or socialise atm! Although I wouldn't mind the bed to myself every now and again, lol. We've been together 5 years, living together for 2... no sign of a ring yet mindHmm

mooloop · 07/01/2021 22:06

@peach1234 that would be amazing!!

@summer249 we've been together coming up 10 years and married for 3 Smile DH works shifts so he's sometimes not home when I get in from work, last night he had a 5-5 night shift and I didn't get home til 5.30pm, so we were like passing ships! What about you and your partner, have you been together a while?

peach1234 · 07/01/2021 22:03

@kaffy197 I know it's so so hard to not read into every little thing isn't it. My head knows it's definitely the pregnacare that's made my period late but I've still got this tiny hope that it's not...

summer249 · 07/01/2021 21:58

@mooloop
Ah that's great to have someone with such a similar time frame  As people are always saying it only takes one time... So rubbish when things like work get in the way as it can't be helped but still frustrating! Will keep my fingers crossed your schedules work out better next month. How long have you been with your partner? Do you live together?

@beckyBP
Lush to know I'm not the only person feeling the envy! Thanks for starting the thread too. DaffodilHave you found it helpful chatting with others on here? Have you learnt any wise one words you could pass on? Blush

kaffy197 · 07/01/2021 21:56

@peach1234 wow that's amazing. God I would love to just get pregnant so I don't obsess over these little things!!

beckyBP · 07/01/2021 21:56

@peach1234 it looked like someone had tipped a bloody glow stick down the loo 😂😂 dammit pregnacare 😒

OP posts:
peach1234 · 07/01/2021 21:54

@beckyBP it actually shocked me and I started googling pregnancy signs and saw the pregnacare thing and was like dammit lol

peach1234 · 07/01/2021 21:53

And @mooloop I fell pregnant with my first the one month we decided to just chill and I didn't use opks and only dtd once!

beckyBP · 07/01/2021 21:53

@kaffy197 @peach1234 I don't think I've ever noticed it before 😂😂 took me by surprise. I pride myself on how clear my pee is 😂😂🤦🏼‍♀️

OP posts:
mooloop · 07/01/2021 21:51

@summer249 yep OPKs are ovulation tests Smile I had my positive OPK yesterday so we must be on a similar timeframe! Good that you've managed to get plenty DTD in, I'm hoping we have better luck with our work schedules next month if this month doesn't work out so we can try and stick to every other day 🙈
