6DPO - I’m going mad!

Hello everyone, basically as the title says. 😂

6th Cycle for Baby #1 - every month we’ve put so much stress on ourselves and i would POAS from 5dpo despite it being too early.

this month we had a more relaxed approach (I say relaxed outside I was relaxed but my brain done overtime) - we used preseed and fertilily cup for the first this month.

got my peak CD14 baby danced CD7, 13 & 14 and never manger anything else and I’m now kicking myself crazy incase it wasn’t enough 😭

anyways, I’ve had absolutely zero symptoms except the tiniest little tugging sensation which I get every month during the TWW & I had been to the doctor for tests due to cramps during my TWW being so severe.

but this month I’m absolute feeling nothing.

I’m trying to hold off until Saturday to test (10DPO) & my partner has hidden my tests so I don’t POAS early 😂 he’s on nightshifts all week and off on Saturday hence why he allows me to have them back on Saturday lol.

as you can tell from my rant I’m losing my mind and need people to joint the rest of my TWW with me 😂😂

Hey

I'm approx 8dp (I haven't used ovulation tests yet, only based on my bossy). Cycle 2 ttc number 2. I caved and tested today even though it was pointless 🙈 obv bfn but just feel very weird today and have been having cramps a lot.

It's so difficult isn't it as apart from your partner you can't discuss it (unless you chose to of course) xx

I'm 4dpo today and the days are dragging!
Ttc baby number two but this one is taking longer! Was really lucky with ds. Fingers crossed to all!
Going to test on Saturday too even though I'll only be 8dpo but I can't help myself 😆🙈

@LittleLemonPie aww so close! Make sure to keep updated with your tests. I’ll update when I rest too! Really hoping for those two pink lines to show up. 🙈 baby dust to you ✨

@Huriya it’s not having a big impact as such, i working 8:30 to 5 on weekdays so evenings is just when we worked at the house, now instead of working at the house in the evenings I do light housework around while my fiancé paints and renovated. My love relationship is 100% fine, we’re both desperate to become pregnant and chat every night in bed about what life would be like with a little baby. ☺️

@Internette hello lovely! Baby dust to you ✨

I know, I’m not overly stressing just the thoughts that run through my head.

I’m actually taking things easy, I’m treating these two weeks asif I am pregnant, not heavy lifting (and we’ve been renovating our new home but I’ve had to step back and not do much) & just resting and laying down as much as I possibly can.

im so close but also feel like I’m so far from getting my positive test. 🙁

I deeply understand you ! It's hard to stay calm in this situation, where we can't control everything. What has to happen will happen when the time is right.
The TCC journey seem to have a big impact on your daily life right now, how is your love relationship in these moments ?
I hope this cycle is the one for you :)

Hey 😊

im 8dpo and this cycle we also used pre seed and the fertililly cup.
I’ve tried not to symptom spot this time as I have drove myself mad with it with previous cycles, been getting cramps etc but I normally get very crampy in my whole TWW. Planning to test on sat too!

Fingers crossed for everyone 🤞🏼

4th cycle for baby n°1 here, 2DPO.
It is very soon, be patient, stress is not good I think.
Let your body do its job.
