Preparing to TTC in 2022 Part 2

CD67 and I thought that AF was going to turn up today due to a tiny amount of spotting this morning, but as yet the witch is a no-show. Getting bored of waiting...

@Nypie fingers crossed!

@QueenBee22 it really is. Trying not to think about it but I keep checking my apps to see how many DPO I am.. as if it would have somehow gone up! Hope it goes quick for you and fingers crossed for a BFP at the weekend.

I'm hoping I actually have a chance to test this time, as AF arrived when I was only 9DPO last cycle. Hopefully just a one off as it was my first proper cycle since the pill, but yet another thing to worry about!

@Nyxxie the 2WW is just cruel. I am 6DPO today and dying to test but trying to hold out until the weekend. I can't take the constant disappointment. Hopefully the 2WW goes quickly for all of us!

@Nypie Do it 🙊

@Dreamingof3 @WingingIt09 sooo AF is not here I dont normally have spotting so have literaly marched down to two different co ops to get 2 pregnancy tests might take one before I go to bed. OH is watching comedies in the bath meanwhile I'm having a meltdown 😂😂

@hevann ooh fingers crossed for you, that's not toooo long to wait! It's mad isn't it, I even found myself symptom spotting before I'd actually ovulated 🙄😂

@Nyxxie I'm 4dpo and I am exactly the same! I can't deal with this waiting. I've got sore boobs so obviously I'm pregnant 🙄 the symptom spotting is horrendous! Lol! Hopefully be able to do a FRER at the weekend 🤞🏻 x

Help.. the TWW is already driving me crazy.. only 2DPO and I'm already symptom spotting, even though I KNOW it's too early! 😩

@Nypie let us know!

I got a positive opk yesterday so should put my cycle at about 37 days this time....if its the same the next cycle I'll be due on on the day we go on holiday 🥴 worst nightmare!

Aw no @WingingIt09 you're really having a shit time of it!

How is everyone doing??

I literally convinced myself I was pregnant. Day of period toda got some spotting then just put my cup in cause I can not face it right now 😂😂 but atleast by tonight I'll know. Got a positive on a Lh test which can mean pregnancy... or period. Why do we do this to ourselves.

@hevann sore boobs is a thing, mine hurt when I knocked them in my tww!
One of my implantation signs was diarrhoea(brilliant) and a stuffy nose for the days following that, but they were the only things out of the ordinary and in fact that’s only recognised with hindsight! Good luck.

@WingingIt09 hope you’re feeling ok!

I had really sore boobs after ovulation @hevann! You never know! Another early sign for me was discharge in the TWW on and off where normally I would have nothing at all

@WingingIt09 that's rubbish! As if you didn't have enough to contend with 😢 hope you're feeling ok with everything?

So I'm in my TWW now and I feel like I might be making up symptoms in my head 🤦🏻‍♀️ or at least trying to connect them to being pregnant. Has anyone else had really sore boobs after ovulation? They've both been sore for a couple of days. Am I just being stupid with hoping I'm pregnant first try?! Lol!

Because I am terrible at waiting I'm guessing I can do an early test 6 days before period is due. Is that right? I've got some first response ones.

If I can, that means I can test from Saturday. x

Hey @Brightonbelle87 I was doing okay until Saturday, all of a sudden the nausea has hit full force and I spend most of my days concentrating on not throwing up 🙈 I'm also exhausted, my poor kids. We have told immediate family (parents and siblings) and a friend each. Trying to keep it quiet but I know if I see people in person I'll blurt it out

Hello @Brightonbelle87! Have my fingers crossed for you your wait pays off, tww always feels so long!
I’m good thanks, feeling a bit sick and am so tired but aside from that I’m fine. Work is a bit of a struggle as I would like to fall asleep on most of my calls by about 3pm 😂
I’ve told my parents (my mum would have known from me eating everything and sleeping all the time!) and a few closest friends, mainly mum friends I see a lot who knew we were ttc and would spot as soon as I said no to wine! Won’t be telling most people till after twelve week scan.
Thank you for checking in! X

Just catching up over the last few days, lots going on! Hope the two BFPs are doing well and feeling ok? Just wondering if you've told people yet?? I blurted my pregnancy out to everyone last year at 5 weeks only to have a miscarriage at 6 weeks and having to tell everyone 😒 might keep it to myself for a bit longer next time!

Sorry for the AF arrivals and yes to wine etc.!

Been DTD over the last week so now it's the waiting game...

@Dasher789

We are on 2nd cycle of trying. First cycle was a fail and period arrived as normal. This cycle, ttc on the peak day on clear blue machine. I track my period in glow app and its regular as clock work. Yesterday was 10 days since ttc day and my period came. Its not due for 5 days. A bit gutted because you kind of assume it will happen right away but also confused why my period came early, its never early nor late trying to get a gp appt here is like trying to find a needle in a haystack

But also when I first started TTC, the first month was the first time I'd ever had spotting before a period, had been off the pill two years by that point so there was no reason for there to be a change, and yet my cycle stayed like that ever since. Like some sort of cruel joke to make you think you're pregnant as the cycle is going differently but! Nope. Sorry it's so rubbish isn't it
