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

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?

ifyou, that's a line! Congratulations! So so pleased for you. So we're Christmas buddies, all going well :)

sleeping, take some time for yourself. I really hope it works out for you soon. It might also be worth chatting to your GP? Just for some support.

diamond, absolutely fx for next month - but let us know if AF does make an appearance. Remember is not over until then x

And fx ickle!

sleeping - please don't give up. I know how gutting it is when it doesn't happen and then when you are feeling down an announcement is the last thing you need. Stay on this bus, we can help you through and think positively for next month
Thanks ickle- oh sounds promising - do a test!! And let us know!!
Thanks haquoi- yes will do, I'm sure af just around the corner though. Feeling very down about that. This will be month 11 this time and I can't believe it

I'm sorry diamond. It's absolutely soul destroying isn't it. I really have my fingers crossed for you x

Thanks haquoi, it certainly is. I really appreciate your kind words xx

Diamond it's crushing when it's been so long. I just felt like my body had failed me every month. I'd go to GP & ask for D21 progesterone bloods and DH to get sperm check. We had ours plus I saw endocrinologist last week & everything was fine but it def put my mind at ease. We've been trying for 15 cycles - acupuncture def helped us because my OV was messed up after MC. I will keep everything crossed for you.

Haquoi i can't wait for a Christmas baby. I'm so excited & trying to keep it together at work. When do I phone GP? I'm thinking next week?

Sleepingbunnies it's the most awful roller coaster isn't it? You have been so supportive of everyone. Theres a girl at work in my team who's 8 wks pregnant just now and she's constantly moaning about everything & I just wanted to scream at her for being so ungrateful. I'm getting nausea today & grinning like an idiot every time it happens.

If you-Congratulations :)

I stupidly poas earlier, it was a test that can be used 4 days before AF, I'm 11 days past ov today, it was of course negative , so now I'm just willing Af to hurry up so we can try again

Brooke - I'm in similar situation - 11dpo and bfn so that's it - especially as I've got my pre af spotting now

Hi Brooke. Me too. No AF yet but suspect tomorrow. BFN no matter how many tests I waste take.
Sleeping - you need to put yourself first for a while and recover emotionally from all the stress and strain. Treat yourself and do whatever you do to relax, whether ttc or not.

Hewy/Diamond- it's horrible isn't it?I've been in an awful mood allday, just want AF to hurry up so we can get trying again

I spoke too soon. She just turned up! That's ok. Wine and paracetamol tonight and on to next cycle. Chin up girls - we'll get there eventually. Much love to you all. x

Hewy- Sorry hun, here's to the next cycle x

Thank you for all being so kind. I don't know why I seem to have taken it so hard this month. But my negativity isn't good for anyone! Really very pleased for you all on your BFP I will raise a glass to you all instead

Wow so many bfps! Congrats.

7dpo

Time has stopped it feels like. Feel a little crampy today but that can be normal for me. Nothing else to report. Just praying my pre af spotting stays away until at least 11dpo this month after she rudely appeared at 8dpo last month #crazycycle!

Hi Brooke - me too - I've either been in a foul temper or teary today - poor dh has got the brunt of it - he says I'm not very nice to be around today and it is true!
Hi hewy - sorry to hear that - wine and paracetamol definitely. I hope so, feeling like it will never happen at the moment, I think it's the prospect of coming up to a year ttc soon and that's a scary milestone. Much love to you too x

hi Ella - fingers crossed she stays away! I've had a few months of that pre af spotting and it always shatters my hopes. Hopefully not for you though this month!

Posted on the wrong thread - oops!

Hello newbies!! (Waves)

I didn't test this afternoon as is drunk so much water and was weeing every 30 mins I don't think it would have been any good!!

Tomorrow morning is D day, will be 3 days late and 16dpo!! Haven't tested in about 4 days - new record for me!!

Good luck everyone

Hi ickle - wishing you lots of luck tomorrow morning
Let us know how you get on x

Fx ickle. Let us know.
I've had wine and plum cocktails tonight. (yes odd!. We got a juicer to increase our vitamin intake. Add gin and juice tastes pretty good!!). School tomorrow. Oh well. Weirdly, I'm looking to a week or more of not thinking about poas and pressure free dtd. Ttc makes me act strangely so a week of being normal is needed. Looking forward to hearing good news from you ickle.

I've just found out my mans grandma passed away today and I'm actually sat blubbing like an absolute idiot, I'm just all over the place at the minute :(

Glad you are enjoying a drink hewy, I'll have to give it a go if this month isn't the one for me!!

Not my mans my friends FFS

It's definitely time for bed

Hi hewy -plum cocktails sound lovely!
I know what you mean, need some normality for a while - af is more or less here now - which has meant a very short cycle - I too act very strangely when ttc!!
Ickle - good luck in the morning!

BFN what is going on?!
