Oh :( well, I hope chatGpt is wrong 🤣🤌🏻 good luck!

I'm about 7/8 dpo today. Trying to hold off testing and waiting for 12dpo when I should get AF if it's been unsuccessful.. according to tracking apps.

But who knows!

According to chat GPT if I’ve tested negative so far pregnancy is less likely due to when we dtd. X

I also got a BFN yesterday but AF yet to arrive …. Sometimes I feel like my body is trolling and teasing me by giving me a late period and negative tests 😢

Mine is definitely trolling me!

Me, supposed to be due period Tuesday, but not yet feeling any usual cramping and exhaustion and moodiness which normally I do by now so part of me is a little hopeful we may see two lines this week 😊 but also trying to be realistic and not get my hopes up. It’s month 4 for us so not too long yet, but I’m 37 and we have a few issues so we’re advised it might take longer. Taking a break next month as we have a family wedding last weekend of May that we have to travel for and are involved in, and don’t want to be at risk of giving birth at the ceremony, but will get back on the horse the cycle after, and due to our ages, once we reach 6 months we will go to GP to get things rolling for help. This is our first, so it’s all new, but I find the TWW very very difficult. Sending hope to you all

Ooh when are you planning on testing?!

Ah ok, yes that is painful- sent me crazy. We just kept going, we referred to it as the 30 day shred (a play on the workout trend at the time).

6 pregnancies for 2 DC and I was on the edge of crazy.

Good luck to everyone. It’s not easy

What is the TWW?

I was told by my consultant, not more than once a day, get going from day 1, raise my legs for 30 mins. My DH had a low count, pregnant very quickly.

The TWW is 'Two week wait' which is the time after ovulation until your period is due, when you can test to see if you're pregnant.

I've tried all of the 'tricks' it doesn't make a difference with someone experiencing fertility issues, unfortunately, I've had three other children, one I fell pregnant with on our first attempt. That's not the same for all pregnancies or all couples, and there's not really any 'magic tricks' that can guarantee conception unfortunately.

Are you trying to conceive again now? x

Oh wow so calculating ovulation must be harder for you!

Show quote history

Yes, this time I had to wait a month after my last period before I ovulated so it was a long wait and now, the two weeks to wait to test and it's anxiety inducing! Especially knowing if it's negative then I don't know when my window for conception will be again.. :(

It’s the time between ovulation and your expected period and/or pregnancy test

Yeah mine can range from 18 - 40+ :( but I've been tracking ovulation for a while obviously so, I'm hoping!
