Halfway through my TWW and looking for company. Anyone in the same boat?

[ero30]

I've still got about a week to go before I can POAS. DH and I have been trying for about 5 months, but I have very irregular cycles so it's all really hard to judge. I usually go about 2 weeks between periods so following that, AF should be due to arrive before the end of this week. But I'm thinking that would be too early to test and am very impatient! I've also been taking agnus castus this month on the advice of a medical friend so I'm feeling tentatively hopeful. Anyone around who wants to wait it out with me and not read too much into every symptom and definitely not take a test every day this week?

Hi haquoi- so sorry to hear of your late miscarriage.
I know, the tww goes so slowly, especially if your cycles are irregular. Are you feeling sick with your sickness flashbacks? When is your af due about?

Thanks diamond. It's been awful but we're getting through.

I reckon I ovd on Monday, so next Saturday ish? I caved and did a test this morning - nothing obviously! I've got a weird taste in my mouth, slightly nauseous and definitely didn't want any eggs this morning. I've been having short flashbacks for the last 2 weeks but nothing sustained. I'm trying to convince myself I'm not pg so it's not such a blow when AF arrives. Each month it's such a knock back (I'm lame though, DS was conceived first try)

Haquoi, I know the feeling. Every tiny thing you convince yourself is a symptom and then immediately try to convince yourself that you're not pg so you aren't as sad when AF arrives. If just TTC is such a rollercoaster, I can't imagine what a nightmare I'm going to be when it actually happens!

So when are we all testing? I'm hoping for loads and loads of BFPs for us! I should really wait until Friday next week, but realistically might hold out until Wednesday or Thursday.

ps... So glad I'm not the only one who doesn't keep DH totally up to date!

Hi haquoi- same as me - next Saturday! We can be poas buddies!! I also tested this morning but bfn even though desperately tried to convince myself there was something there!! Sounds promising with your nausea - really hope this is it for you x
Hi ero - poas buddie too! I will prob test every morning now as I have no willpower whatsoever!! No I don't keep dh up to date either - he would think I was a crazy lady! Although bless him I think he's excited but I just play it totally cool and say it's too early!! X

I poas today and BFN ??

I don't even feel pregnant anymore :( all my symptoms have gone apart from smelly wee. Thinking I might be out this month.

You're not out yet icklepickle! That's still really early don't forget. And the no symptoms thing might be a good thing. Do you usually get pre af symptoms?

Hi ladies ladies, I'm not sure if I'm in the tww or not yet, I'm cd18, but my cycles aren't regular , between 28-34 days. I Think I had a positive opk around day 12, although my fertility app thinks I'm going to ov this Sunday so we're still doing dtd regularly just in case. I'm already getting impatient and want to test, lol not to mention the fact I'm.imagining every symptom going too , I shall keep you updated, hope you all get your bfp's soon :)

Hi Brooke! how confusing for you! I think I'd go with your positive opk rather than the app but yes a good plan to dtd regularly anyway!! If you did ovulate around cd12 then hopefully not too long for you to test then! Hope you get your bfp too - yes keep us updated

haquoi so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how hard such a late mc must have been.
Ladies, we must hold off on poas. If you all do it, I'll do it too and I'm way too early. Only 9dpo today. Frer tests arrived in the post today but I have to wait til at least Sunday/Monday. Tomorrow will be a loooong day!
I've been revealing a little too much crazy to my dh. I need to get my poker face back!

Well as of yet I haven't tested and I AF hasn't showed up...

Hi hewy - I know you're right but I just can't help myself! Very impressed with your willpower - frers in the house and you've resisted - wish I had some of your willpower!
Exciting sleepingbunnies! Are you planning on testing soon?!

Sleeping bunnies, welcome back! (Cautiously) pleased for you! When's your testing day? I'm still AF free, which is outside of what my cycle has been lately. But still too early to test. At least it means I can have a glass of wine or two!

Distraction strategy #436: gel nails with new colour that just arrived in the post. Turns out it's First Response Pink ... Oops! Poas is never far from my mind!

Hmm, I've got light brown discharge, a week early for my period, but my period was early last time, so who knows? Into day 3 of feeling sick (is it wrong /asking for it to put 'hopefully it'll continue' on the end?!)...

Thanks hewy, it's the worst thing that's ever happened to me. I was also out of the country on my own - DS was born while DH was stuck in Copenhagen on a layover while trying to get to me. Another baby won't replace DS, but there's an excess of love in our family...

Can I join please? I'm in TWW although CBFM is still reading high this morning 3 days before AF is due. I had a weird long cycle last month so not really sure what to think. Been trying for over a year & all tests fine. I had a long cycle two months before a BFP last year which ended in MC but I'm hoping the strange cycle could be a good omen. Boobs are really sore which I don't normally get & I'm an emotional wreck but that could just be stress?

Yesterday I had some brown spotting in my knickers (tmi-sorry) so I tested again this morning and BFN again, I'm out I know I am

Diamond sparkles - I'm normally really pms about a week before and them back ache the day/night before, as of yet I have neither but 3 days to go!

It's soul destroying isn't it? I wish there was a way to forget all about it. Hi ifyou! I've got my fingers crossed, ickle

Thanks haquoi - I've just seen you had some brown spotting google seems to think this is good news

Sorry for my rant, I just needed to let it out but af isn't here yet so I'm not giving up.

Handfuls of baby dust to you xx

So, craziness abound in my house, DH included. I relented and poas, just to get it out of the dammed house! Usually the white square stays snow white, no shadow or anything, but this time there was a shadow... So I bring it downstairs and show it to DH who's like, 'er... No', but I want a closer look so start trying to get the test open. I almost have it when DH comes over with a hammer and smashes through the poor thing, sending shattered plastic (and pee) everywhere and... destroying the test just where my shadow was...

Lesson learned, I think we both win crazy of the year...

haquoi that's hilarious!! Definitely the crazy house award! Love it!!
Hi ickle - yes the brown might be good news, fingers crossed for you!
Hi ifyou - sounds promising - fingers crossed for you too!

Also loving the pink first response nails hewy

Hi everyone, can I join? 3 days in to my tww. This is our 6th cycle ttc no2- feels like such a long time, I'm desperate to get that bfp.

Already symptom spoting (although I know it's too early really)- headaches, a bit nauseous in the mornings and very tired (probably due to cutting down on my coffee to be honest), plus bra has been chaffing on kind of sore boobs today.

Thanks Haquoi - I love that you OH took a hammer to the Pg test.

I'd happily take a hammer to my CBFM at this point. Symptom spotting - I feel nauseous tonight but it's probably the two puddings I ate at dinner with friends

Issie fingers crossed for you.

Thanks diamond, at least our follies led to a good story :)

Hi issie! I hate symptom spotting, I wish my mind would just leave my body alone! But I didn't know nausea was a symptom until a few days ago - with DS I just had cramping non stop. Fingers crossed for you!

ifyou, I love the pudding nausea! Fingers crossed there's another reason behind it

Gah, another week to go! I'm getting so antsy

It wasn't to be ,AF arrived this morning (I think)

Fx for everyone else xxx
