So 7DPO on cycle 5 TTC No 2.

Completely stressed. Not working at the moment so nothing to distract me! Anyone else in the TWW want to keep me company 😊.

Obsessing over every possible symptom! Help!!

Ah shit @LUNELLE1111 that must be so hard for you. If you don't have a real life person to rant to, rant away here!

Sorry it takes me so long to type, I started my post before you had posted yours and it was not meant in any way to minimize the shit you're going through today. ❤️

BellaBella1984 · 30/11/2021 10:38

Wow I am totally struggling to keep my shit together today! 🤯

I think the earliest I can realistically test is tomorrow on CD30 as I didn't ovulate until CD 18/19. But I am running out of stuff to do on my day off! I've already done the washing up and cleaned the kitchen, just heading out to get my refills so I can put some laundry on... Maybe if I take the long way round I could make that 1 1/2 hours, stop for coffee 2 hours?! Ugh that still only takes me up until lunch time!

What tricks am I missing?

Same @StaryEyes1978 AF reared her ugly head this morning and she is certainly making her presence known! I really thought this was the month with what I thought was IB/spotting last week.
Sending positivity to all, it's not easy but we keep going and hope next month will be our month! Xx

StaryEyes1978 · 30/11/2021 06:37

Well that's me out for this month. AF arrived this morning. ☹️😢

Best of luck ladies. Sprinkling lots more baby dust your way and keeping everything crossed for lots
Of positives!!! xx

Aaw sorry for BNFs, hopefully just too early. I had one bit of brown/pink spotting today. I’ve had it before and not been pregnant but still going between hope and counting myself out. I’m not due my period until Monday so going to hold out testing until nearer the weekend.
Good luck to everyone ⭐️⭐️

BellaBella1984 · 29/11/2021 12:59

@Beth262 and @StaryEyes1978 Gutted for your rubbish BFNs this morning, trying to stay strong until Wednesday 🤞

@Sunbird24 Loving your plan! I try to stay strong by reminding myself that HPT companies are most likely owned by rich white men who don't need any more of my hard earned cash than absolutely neccessary!

Beth262 · 29/11/2021 11:39

11dpo and I caved. BFN. Don't know why I do it to myself! 🤦‍♀️

BellaBella1984 · 29/11/2021 09:06

👋 Hi everyone! 👋

Hope you're all still keeping your shit together! I'm 10DPO and NEVER symptom spot, in nearly 2 years, not once have I let my brain be fooled. Mainly because I get the worst PMT... boobs/fluid retention/nausea+vomiting/sensitive to noise+smells/crying about everything/zits/greasy hair/carb craving the works, and this usually goes on for 5 days pre period!

But this month no PMT, had to double check my calendar to be sure. And today my boobs are like Pammy's! And SO sore, even my size bigger PMT bra is uncomfortable!

It's probably still nothing but it's sure pushing me one step closer to bat crap crazy! 🤣

StaryEyes1978 · 28/11/2021 16:51

@Sunbird24 Ahhh that's one way to do it! 😂😂 Going to try and avoid now til AF arrives or the day she is due! xx

OP posts:
Sunbird24 · 28/11/2021 16:04

I’m away all this week with work and haven’t packed a S to PO, so hopefully that will see me through to Friday!

StaryEyes1978 · 28/11/2021 15:30

Welcome everyone and thanks for joining in! I caved this morning and POAS. BFN. ☹️ Still no real symptoms (although a few mild cramps type twinges a bit like ovulation pain on my left hand side) but not holding our much hope. Not going to test again til Thursday (that's when AF is due).
How is everyone else feeling today! Hoping you guys have more luck avoiding POAS than I did!! 😂😂xx

I'm 8DPO today and my
Boobs are absolutely killing me. Iv been throwing up all day but that will be down to the work Christmas party and one too many drinks last night 🤦🏼‍♀️

WhatTheEll · 28/11/2021 11:39

👋 can I join??
I'm 6/7DPO and need to resist the urge to POAS with you 🤦🏻‍♀️
TTC #2 for 12 months now. Was never this hard with #1.
Wishing you all luck ♥️

Beth262 · 28/11/2021 10:20

Oh gosh @Sunbird24 what a journey you've had. So sorry to hear about your losses. Everything crossed for you this time around xx

Sunbird24 · 28/11/2021 08:57

Morning all!
I had a 5 day embryo transfer on Friday, so I guess I’m technically 7dpo today?
This was my 4th transfer, but my 6th embryo (1 fresh, 2 frozen, 2 frozen) and have had 3 miscarriages in the last 12 months - today is actually the anniversary of the first of those. I’m rapidly approaching 44, and doing this solo as relationships just haven’t worked out for me so far. My official test date from the clinic is still 12 days away, but AF is due in 8/9 days, so I’m definitely not going to last that long!

Beth262 · 28/11/2021 08:46

@StaryEyes1978 I'm 10dpo today and going to try and hang out til Thursday 😬 Whether I'll succeed is another story! 😆

I've had lots of spotting and cramps the last few days which usually happens for me in the run up to af. But then again it's also happened when I've fallen pg and mc so who knows!! Other than that, like you not a flippin symptom. Despite poking my boobs 20 times a day 😆 x

StaryEyes1978 · 27/11/2021 21:27

So 9DPO today and have resisted the urge to poas!!! It's been hard but feeling proud of myself! Now that's not to say I won't cave tomorrow but for today that's a win!!! How's everyone feeling? I have literally no symptoms! Not a one!! xx

Sorry for not coming back sooner- work was crazy this week.

Some really heartfelt stories on here, sending positive thoughts to everyone for this month 🤞🏼

We are trying to conceive number 2. I have a son from a previous relationship who I had when I was young. So I am excited to actually plan to have a baby with my partner, will be his first! This is 3rd cycle (currently 4dpo) I am pretty sure I missed fertile window first two months though due to us living apart atm as renovating our house!

Has anyone got anything exciting planned for the weekend? xox

Beth262 · 26/11/2021 21:54

@Lunelle3110 I don't think ttc and chill can even go in the same sentence 😂

Lunelle3110 · 26/11/2021 17:00

I am on my 3rd cycle TTC and although I'm trying to chill it's so difficult not to stress.
I am charting my BBT and going googley eyed trying to make head nor tail of it!
Also symptom spotting has consumed my week 🤪
Yesterday was CD25 and I had some unusual early bleeding in the morning which tapered off as the day went on. Was expecting to wake up with a full on period this morning but nothing.
I am soooo impatient, I hate waiting!!
Wishing you the best of luck with your wait x

Clem90 · 26/11/2021 16:46

@Beth262 ah yeah the faces make it very easy and it’s helped me pinpoint 5 most fertile days. Although once you get the static it’s still up to 48 hours i think for ovulating so still not exact. but takes a lot of guessing out.
I have had sore boobs on and off today, keep prodding them, not sure that counts 😂
I’m out tomorrow for day drinks, i’m going to have a few cocktails.
Does anyone else have a drink in the TWW? I don’t drink much but it’s harder during this Christmas period, lots going on.
Any other symptom spots going on from anyone?

Beth262 · 26/11/2021 08:19

So here's my story...

Never really interested in having children. Partner had 2 children from previous relationship and I was fine with that. Then fell pregnant unexpectedly but sadly mc around 11wks. Realised it was what I wanted, split with partner & met someone new. A mmc then at 8wks, followed by success but giving birth to DS at 30 weeks, thankfully no problems albeit tiny at 3lb.

Now trying for #2, first cycle failed followed by cp last month, now holding out hope in this tww!
