Hey, thought I'd start this thread to wait out the painful TWW with anyone in a similar boat.

I'm quite an anxious person so only positivity and happy stories welcome please.

I had a terrible time trying to conceive a few years back with an ex due to infertility on his side, and so now I have met my life partner and we have started trying this cycle I am struggling not to feel down like I did before even though it's someone different.

I must add that we did have one off unprotected sex last cycle and I had a chemical. So I am hoping we will be lucky soon.

I have a lower egg reserve and I am 35 so anyone in a similar boat to me I'd love to hear from you.

Baby dust to you ❤️

Thanks for updating! Always useful when people get negatives to know they're not out yet!

MegVonFluff · 16/10/2024 11:59

I just want to give an update and hope to the ladies who are testing and keep getting BFNs. I tested negative on 8, 9 , and 10 DPO. And I saw my first very faint positive on 11 DPO. Since then I have missed my period and took a digital test.

I can see a faint line! There is a line! Congratulations 😍

I'm 6dpo today and waiting.

PSYJAM · 08/10/2024 11:35

Apparently I'm ovulating today ... We DTD 3 days ago and today so let's see what happens. I'm determined to be more relaxed this month as last month I was feeling so bad about myself. It's our second month of TTC for another child. My DD is 5 years old.

Hi ladies how are we all? I've ovulated today, bloody day 10 so a day earlier than normal. I worry there's no hope because it's too early. I feel so hopeless and feel like I should move on from the cycle.

We DTD Saturday and yesterday and will tonight so will be three times in my fertile window.

Just upset that I've ovulated this evening and not tomorrow as normal. He heard stories that day 10 ovulation won't amount to a BFP.

I'm on CD1 today, hopefully there'll be a lot more luck on this thread soon 🤞🏼

MegVonFluff · 14/09/2024 19:36

11 dpo for me and BFN. It's hard.

MKD1 · 12/09/2024 13:56

10dpo, no symptoms, and a BFN. No symptoms for AF either, but I think September is my month. Hope everyone is OK.

SunshineMine · 12/09/2024 10:30

14dpo today. Last test I did was yesterday and BFN so just waiting for AF to show up. Absolutely zero signs that she's on her way but im hoping it'll be sooner rather than later so I can enjoy my holiday and start again next cycle! Hope everyone's okay today 😊

PSYJAM · 11/09/2024 10:55

I've felt so sad last week and then I got my period 5 days early so I wasn't successful this time. Wishing everyone good luck ❤️keep your hopes up xxxx

sellingupslow · 11/09/2024 07:46

Remind me to chuck my tests away after the time so I don't get false hope 😂

sellingupslow · 11/09/2024 06:25

11DPO today and BFN so I'm assuming I'm out!

My cramping from yesterday has stopped but other than that nothing obvious to report 😌

Fingers crossed for you ladies!

SunshineMine · 10/09/2024 23:04

I tested today too 12dpo and BFN... it was a regular test though not an early but I still feel like this far after ovulation I would hope to see something?! Absolutely no symptoms whatsoever on my end 😂🙈

MegVonFluff · 10/09/2024 21:21

I'm 7dpo, this cycle is messed up, I have had cramps on and off today and extremely sore breasts. I'm putting it down to Pregnacare. It's my first month TTC. It's not normal for me to feel this way. I'm confused. Last time I was pregnant I had no cramps . In fact, I was convinced that I wasn't pregnant. I feel all over the place.

AppleCarter · 10/09/2024 21:10

9dpo - BFN (why did I test…) but the most unbelievably sore breasts. Yesterday felt sort of tingly and now quite painful.

Not usual for me - I can’t remember if this was a sign last time.

MKD1 · 10/09/2024 21:08

I'm 8dpo today! No signs or symptoms, will wait for the weekend for a test.

sellingupslow · 10/09/2024 21:03

How is everyone feeling today?

BFN for me this morning and big temp dip. I've been having a painful heavy feeling all day in my belly and slight back ache. Don't usually get this before af (I'm due on Friday) but I might also have just been oblivious in the past 😅

@YourRealLion so good that you are upbeat well done! I am really struggling to stay upbeat because of my previous experience with an ex, I've had so much disappointment before I'm just waiting for it again.

My OH annoyed me last night too so that's probably why I feel a bit negative about this month. Oh and that I had a lot of wine last night with a friend so I am convinced it's AF coming and but a BFP. X

We've got this next month if not , don't stress yourself girl, think of that baby making vacation!!
I have Absolutely 0 syntoms as well apart from crying at everything lol xxxx

@sellingupslow I would say you are right and CD11 was the day before you ovulated or the day of. Is that natural cycles? I did find that it was wrong a lot of the time for me when I used it before!

I have absolutely no symptoms right now. No cramps, no sore boobs, no spotting, no unusual CM, literally nothing so I am sure it's not my month this month.

I am 9dpo today and I am all groggy and snotty lol, so I think I may be coming down with a cold before my holiday! Rubbish 🫣

I don't feel unwell thankfully just groggy. Annoying though.

So yeah I am setting myself up for the disappointment this month I can feel it just isn't my month.

I don't know if I'll bother testing on Wednesday now as I pretty much know I'm not in with a chance. My cervix is sitting high to mid way and isn't hard but not squishy so I don't think it's telling me much right now.

Just want to go away and forget about it all for a week next week and enjoy some sun ☀️

My cervix was high last month until my period.
Felt I had constant twinges but didn't amount to much. Thought I had more cm this month ... but really it's nothing extraordinary. I've kept a log of most of the days from last month and seems I was the same. So curious to see if anything changes between now and next weekend

Personally I find the first week the hardest I've realised. Get really meh after ovulation and then I bounce back again - could be hormonal shifts. So now I'm just going to see what happens! It'd be a nice surprise 😁

@HopefulSS @YourRealLion

Do either of you have any symptoms? Do you track BBT? Cervix position?

I seem to have a high cervix but to be honest I have nothing to really compare it to so it might not be 🙈

I've been having mild on and off tummy cramps and sore boobs but again, when I wasn't ttc I wasn't really paying attention so this could be completely normal for me at this stage in my cycle!

Attached my bbt graph although I'm 95% sure it's wrong and I'm 8DPO. I had positive OPK on CD11 and egg white cm etc!

4dpo, impatiently waiting! Anyone else? Positive vibes only please
