Only 6DPO and I feel like I’m going crazy! Anyone else with me?

@IndaFlowers totally agree with you on preferring weekdays. I actually feel excited to be working tomorrow (I wfh with an office job Monday - Friday) as it’ll help me focus my mind on something other than pregnancy! All I want to do is test but I know it’s still to early. Last time I tested a few months ago, it was positive but ended up being a chemical so I don’t want to go through that again. I know it’s best to wait until nearer my period start date or better still until I’m late xxx

@Jordie24 I have heard both- don't have hot baths when ttc and then also nothing will really impact for the first 3 weeks.

I am trying to err on the side of caution for the most part but did have a warm (not hot) bath today as I had some cramping and generally felt like crap!

I am trying not to inhibit myself too much at this early stage of ttc as I know it could he a long journey and want to keep it as enjoyable and normal as possible for as long as I can 😃

Am I the only one who finds i am preferring work days to weekends during tww? I think its because it provides some distraction? Weekends in lockdown leave nothing to do but hope and wonder.... and symptom spot....

I have heard no hot baths when pregnant and I try to treat the TWW as if I am pregnant so I wouldn't. Then again I have long cycles so I get plenty of time before and after the TWW to have hot baths etc.

I've had both sex and warm/hot ish baths...didn't even think about them being an issue so I hope not 🙈

@Jordie24 absolutely go for it. We just did . and I am 6-7DPO. There's zero evidence it can have any negative effect, and I'm sure plenty of anecdotal evidence it makes the TWW go better

Great plan @willow2021!
I see ladies do lovely dated tests with line improvement and darkening! Which would be a lovely memory to have. So keep that in mind when they come in the post. One a day or every 2 days as they day after 48hrs your levels are stronger. But that is a lot of willpower 🤣

Might not help but certainly a plan to stop you using all in one day. Fingers crossed for your BFP x

P.s I was convinced I was pregnant 3DPO 🤣, now I’m also not so sure. I must be going mad!

@lottieb92 yeah thats what i was thinking, yesterday i had myself convinced i was pregnant or becoming pregnant i guess? like some weird instinct but then today reality kicked in.... and I am doubting all those instincts and putting them down as more.....wanting to be pregnant rather than actually feeling it. In a bid to not test too soon, i ordered some frer ones online that wont be delivered till thursday (hopefully i wont use them all in a day) haha

Hey @localbunny I’d love to test on my 9DPO which is the 4th and 6 days before my period!
But also thinking I could wait until valentines for a nice surprise to other half. I would be 4 days late by then.
Last valentines we were flying to New York and got engaged... so I’ve got to try and beat that. No pressure ovaries 🤣

Best of luck to you over the next few days! Not long to go x

@Aubyone amazing! First response early response is highly recommend on these threads I’ve noted for early testing 🤣 It’s all I keep seeing.
But start with the cheapies as they say, you are so close to a missed period! So not long to go, mine feels like a million years away. I’ll be thinking of you tomorrow, let us know how you get on! X

Hey @willow2021 could well be implantation 7dpo! I had this with my first very strong to one side! Fingers crossed for you xx

Hi all, I'm 9DPO and feeling exactly the same! Also tested yesterday in a moment of weakness and obvs BFN. Want to TRY and wait until next weekend to test again.

I feel like I go crazy with symptom spotting - had really stinging nipples Friday night and was all excited, but think it was just from my facemask in the bath haha.

We're TTC our first and it's month 3 of trying for us

Hello cycle buddies! Am 6DPO,due AF on 6th Feb - have now got a load of Internet cheapies and some Frers so I'm planning on testing from tomorrow morning just cos it's my first month and I'm overly excited - no expecting positive but feels like no harm testing this first month, would probably become exoensive after that but will give myself this month to get the novelty out my system 😂

Good luck all!
Xxx

Hey @IndaFlowers!
I’m not even sure what to think I’m now in a daze hahah! I am also due 10th! Was going to test 4th if these symptoms stay as strong as they are at the mo, emotional, sore and veiny boobs 😬
But if they disappear I will wait for a missed AF!

I usually get sore boobs on ovulation and lots of cramps, so it could be my dates were off and this is my first month. And we jumped in last min only managing to achieve DTD twice 🌚 so would be nothing short of a miracle now it seems.
It is nice to have to first wait with others on the same dates!
Sending baby dust as they say 😜

@Jordie24 I am exactly the same as you, had a peak on the 23rd and pretty sure i ovulated on the 24th (last sunday) as i remember a really sharp pain in my left ovary which i get during ovulation. Anyways this is only the second month trying for out first baby. I haven't told any of my friends or family that we have started trying so its really difficult having nobody to talk about this with. i used opks this month for the first time ever and had a peak on day 11 and think i ovulated on day 12. So it would make me 7dpo today and due AF 9th Feb. I had weird cramps yesterday, not as strong as AF cramps but they were on my lower left side, they kind of came and went all day and at times sort of radiated to my lower left back. Has anyone experienced this?

Hi ladies.

Feel like im jumping in everywhere. Its just so lovely to have people to wait with 🤣

I'm due af on 10th and experiencing some unusual things that wouldn't be exactly normal for me. So im keeping my fingers crossed.

Hopefully some of us will have good things to celebrate over the next few days

I'm an 7dpo internet cheapie POASer usually but i don't know if I will this time or just wait and see what happens I only bring out the big (expensive!) FRER guns if I get a squinter on the cheapies.

By which I mean, I'd drive myself mad thinking every tweak and twinge was a pregnancy thing, until I realised that actually, it happens all month and I didn't realise until I was actively looking/feeling for it after getting a positive OPK.

Im sure you all know what I mean, googling shit like "itching nipples and sore toe 8dpo am I pregnant" when really it's because you used too much of a new washing powder and stubbed your toe the day before.
