Anyone else entering the start of the TWW?

How's everyone doing? Sorry to see so many BFNs so far. I hope you're all doing OK. I also had another negative test this morning. I'm driving myself mad though as have been experiencing fatigue and this morning sensitivity when breastfeeding my 2 year old and a sudden unbearable hot flush! And now I've convinced myself that if I'm not pregnant I'm menopausal! 🤦🏻‍♀️

@Blueblies haha it's crazy how you just convince yourself everything else is wrong! I sort of asked myself during this TWW that if i wasnt ttc, would I have even noticed a certain feeling or twinge? helped me not overthink!

what dpo are you? im 11dpo today, didn't test but can feel cramps coming! period due end of the week so if it doesn't arrive by Friday, will test. Just want it to arrive now so I can move on to the next cycle!

We had sex everyday this month and have already said to my hubby that is not happening again 😂

How is everyone doing? Hope you’re all well and looking after yourselves. Sorry to hear about the BFNs, although it sounds like it is still fairly early days. Fingers crossed for a turnaround, or that next month is luckier.

As for me - well, I’m an idiot.

I bought 2 Clear Blue tests on Amazon to test yesterday (10dpo) and today (11dpo).

Tested yesterday evening - BFN
Tested this morning - BFN

Re-read the box this morning (perhaps in the hope that the result would change before my eyes) and realised - I did not buy the ultra early tests as I had thought. I had actually purchased rapid results regular tests instead. So basically, I am none the wiser.

I have, of course, convinced myself I have all of the early symptoms already.

I was really hoping to go into the weekend knowing the result, and being able to draw a line under this month and look ahead, but now I still have this 10% of hope I could be pregnant?

I’m not sure if I will test again on Sunday using an ultra early test or just wait until Wednesday when I’m due on.

But, what a waste of £10 and a lot of hope!

@Springcloud26 I purposefully don’t have other tests at home, as I can’t control myself with testing! I didn’t get a chance to buy any over the weekend due to it being a busy one. AF is due on Wednesday, so I may just wait now.

I’m already mentally preparing for next cycle tbh. Have I jumped ahead to calculate when the due date might be for next cycle? 100% 😂

The lack of control is extremely frustrating, isn’t it? Even if you have the timing spot on, there seems to be such an element of random luck.

How are you feeling this week?

I hope you have some nice things planned to help distract until you Ov.

I can’t remember if you mentioned using ovulation tests? If so, do you recommend? I’ve only been using the Flo app, which I realise isn't reliable.

@Springcloud26 I totally get needing the time to sit with it over the weekend. Glad that you’re feeling better now. That does sound quite exciting regarding the ovulation testing and quite a process!

Unfortunately, I’m officially out for now as AF arrived a day early yesterday, so will try the clear blue ovulation test this cycle to see if we can get the timing a bit better.

I’ll probably refocus over the next couple of weeks but may see you all back here in a few weeks!

Sending positive thoughts to everyone.
