5DPO - anybody want to keep each other company..?

Hey everyone!

So I'm currently 5DPO - this is my 8th cycle TTC and I've had two chemical pregnancies.

Since these, I've promised myself I won't test early to try and avoid disappointment.. 🥴

Anybody fancy keeping me company?

This is our 8th cycle, so it's been a fairly long process but not compared to many..
I think the fact that in these 8 months I've had two chemical pregnancies has hit me hard.. especially the last one being on Christmas Day and having to break the news to my DP..

I don't think I've really dealt with the pain of that yet.

But anyway!!!! Positive vibes for all of our BFP's 🙈🥰

@Daisyrobin123 It’s my first proper cycle! Which makes me feel even crazier for being so obsessed 😫 but honestly reading these threads has made me realise how hard it actually is to conceive and is nothing like we are told when we’re younger, that you’ll dtd once and end up pregnant!

This is my first TWW and I’m already symptom spotting (which I know is impossible as I wouldn’t of even implanted yet) and wanting to test. Hoping you ladies can keep me sane 🤞🏽🤣

@extrababydust123 Hi! 🖐 yes definitely, let's hope so! What cycle are you on? 🙂

@Daisyrobin123 Ahh exciting! I'm guessing you've been tracking ovulation if you've been trying to time it really well this month. We managed to DTD lots this time as my fertile window timed perfectly with the Easter holidays 😅

How do you both cope with the two week wait? I'm usually pretty chilled the first week but it makes me loopy the second week. I'm sure I never learned about a 2ww in school - I was so naive before we started ttc! 🙈

@extrababydust123 it's lovely isn't it! I hope you get a lovely BFP this month!
I am at the stage now, where seeing a clear and blazing BFP just seems so far fetched to me.. I just can't for the life of me imagine it!

🥴🙈🤷‍♀️

@jessicarolfe I agree! It’s lovely actually to see so many people going through the same as you and being able to relate, as we haven’t told anyone else either.

We dtd every other day before ovulation, and on the day of so hopefully that was enough.. sending lots of lucky baby dust to you lovely 💖

@extrababydust123 welcome! Will be lovely to hopefully get some BFP's 🥰❤️ it's nice to be able to talk openly on here, too as i haven't told anybody I know that we are TTC.

I really hope this is our month. I really tried to time DTD around ovulation perfectly. I've got my fingers crossed!

Hey! @Daisyrobin123 🤍
We are TTC our first, too! My cycles are a little bit irregular.. not by a lot but a few days here and there! X

Hi ladies I’m going to hop on, I’m only 3dpo but it’ll be nice to TWW wait together and hopefully get some lovely BFP’s 🤞🏽

Sorry to hear about your chemicals, fingers crossed this is your lucky cycle and end up with a very sticky bean ❤️

Hi @jessicarolfe 🖐 I'm 5 DPO today too. Sorry to hear about your chemicals 😞. I'm on my third cycle (first baby).
Month 1 I had loads of symptoms that I don't usually get with PMS and month 2 I AF was 4 days late and I had some mean evap lines! So now I'm not paying attention to symptoms or AF being late!!
How long are your cycles usually?
