Hi,

Currently trying for DC 2, already have a 2 year old DS.

I should have ovulated today 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Anyone else entering the TWW? Due AF 7th Jan but will probably end up testing a couple days before 😄

5/6 dpo... Symptom spotting still.
My tea tasted like ass this morning and I felt a bit nauseous afterwards (although could just be DHs sub-par tea making abilities) and then I went to my circuit class and thought that I was going to faint! (This could be explained by the fact that I've missed quite a few classes recently and it's the first class after the indulgences of Christmas)

I hope everyone else is going a little bit crazy too and it's not just me! There's no way that I'd be experiencing any pregnancy symptoms so early, I'm just positive that I'm going to get my BFP in a week or so and letting my imagination get carried away! 😁🤞

10dpo here. Very period like cramping. Even though cramping and sore boobs were my earliest symptoms of my first pregnancy, I have a feeling I am not going to be lucky this time.

@Alysskea CONGRATULATIONS! Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy x

MrsL22 · 29/12/2022 22:38

Congratulations @Alysskea that's lovely news!!
I'm 6dpo today, no more spotting. Boobs are still sore. May do a IC in the morning even though it is way too early but it's driving me mad 🤣

Congrats @Alysskea :) lovely news!!

Alysskea · 29/12/2022 21:35

Yes this is my first time - don’t even know anyone who has been pregnant so it’s all new haha!

I am really keeping my fingers crossed for all of you who deserve your BFPs!

Downtherabbithole83 · 29/12/2022 21:33

@Alysskea congratulations and definitely not braggy at all!

A postive is always fantastic news and so kind of you to share and give hope to all of us in the tww, even if we’re not having the typical symptoms!

LAgeDeRaisin · 29/12/2022 21:15

That's amazing!!! So exciting - will it be your 1st?

Alysskea · 29/12/2022 21:06

LAgeDeRaisin · 29/12/2022 19:49

@Alysskea not braggy at all, congratulations!!! I thought you said you'd tested negative today?! What made you decide to do another urine test and a blood test?

Thank you! I had booked the blood test in advance as I’m under a fertility clinic. So I went along to it with a heavy heart 100% sure it would be negative but as it was booked I thought I may as well. Then they rang to say it came back positive so I took another urine one as well! Total shock haha

Pitstop1986 · 29/12/2022 19:50

@Alysskea congratulations! That's fantastic news! I'm so happy for you xxx

Alysskea · 29/12/2022 15:20

I hope this doesn’t come across as braggy in any way but just wanted to update to say I’m pregnant! Even with no symptoms, spotting today 14DPO and weird cramps in my uterus. I’ve had a blood test and done a pee stick. It’s early days and I’m still worried about something going wrong or something! But just wanted to give some hope to those that don’t have a typical TWW that it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re negative. And I’ve had failed cycles before, totally convinced myself I was infertile and I’m clearly not! Fingers crossed for you x

Livingonhope · 29/12/2022 14:40

Day 13 dpo time of month due tomorrow no sign of it but all tests showing as negative another heartbreaking month

MrsL22 · 29/12/2022 14:01

@pennysays (new username)
I was thinking Wednesday but don’t think I’ll be able to wait until then.
I never know what’s the best test to take so end up wasting loads :(

pennysays · 29/12/2022 13:58

@CLowers im going to test at 10dpo. On 8dpo. I don’t have any early response tests so it’s. Bit pointless.

LAgeDeRaisin · 29/12/2022 13:58

8dpo today and 2 bfns @Pitstop1986 . With my last I was positive 7/8dpo so feeling disheartened even though it's still early.

CLowers · 29/12/2022 13:54

I’m the same as you! 4/5dpo TTC#1. We dtd three days up to positive opk and day after.
When do you plan on testing. I’m going mad this TWW 🤞🏼

Pitstop1986 · 29/12/2022 13:44

Aww sorry to hear that @Alysskea sending lots of hugs and positivity for your next cycle.

Did you test again today @LAgeDeRaisin or are you giving it a couple of days before your next one?

LAgeDeRaisin · 29/12/2022 13:35

@Alysskea sorry- it's so crap isn't it. :(

Alysskea · 29/12/2022 13:31

Looks like I’m out for the second time. Don’t know how much more of this I can take. Wishing all of you the best x

Downtherabbithole83 · 29/12/2022 13:28

That was aimed at @Pitstop1986 btw - forgot to tag!

Downtherabbithole83 · 29/12/2022 13:26

I’m also 4dpo and driving myself mad… so glad to hear I’m not the only one peeing on sticks for ‘the fun of it’. (You’ve made me feel a lot less crazy - thanks) I’m not sure why it makes me feel better but it does and I enjoy taking the pics and adding them to the graph on my app.

No symptoms to ‘spot’ for me yet (I know it’s too early anyway) and I know it’s unlikely to happen for us as our first cycle trying again after our tfmr last month, especially as I’m so close to 40 now, but I can’t help hoping and I’m addicted to reading all the success stories on here!

MexicanDrinkingWorm · 29/12/2022 12:58

Sorry @cbear1989 , sending lots of luck for your next try
@Pitstop1986 im the same, symptom spotting like crazy which is the exact opposite of what I said id do. Absolutely shattered the last couple of days but not sure if that’s from not sleeping properly due as I can’t switch off or just the fact I’m running round after a 2 year old all day!

LAgeDeRaisin · 29/12/2022 12:42

Sorry to hear @cbear1989

Hope you're okay. It's so depressing when that happens :(
