Starting tww

[hopeful31]

Tww starting tomorrow. Ovulation today. Af due 24th. Someone join me and help me stay sane please.

Hi ladies, jumping on this thread as I’m 3DPO and it’s the 9th cycle of trying so starting to feel a bit desperate. Last month I had period like cramps from ovulation to AF and got cramps again this time. Constant cramps for the TWW and AF feels like Mother Nature just punishing me and making me miserable. It’s making hard not to think about TTC all the time because I’m always in pain and discomfort. :( losing the will to live atm.

Sorry to hear that you are having a tough time with it @Mrskkennedy
They say plan for a baby but its sooo hard to actually conceive one.

Is this your first?

@Louise392 I was convinced the one step test weren't working. I got a BFP with FRER (and it was very clear) so I used the same FMU with a one step. The line was faint but it was there.

@Mrskkennedy sorry to hear you are in pain. Definitely finding my hips uncomfortable today but did last month and that was nothing. Made it to double figures now (10DPO). Still nothing particularly screaming ‘pregnancy’ feels weird wanting to have sore boobs and sickness!!

@louise392 looks like you have some potentially good symptoms will keep fingers crossed for you! What day are you testing?

@becca3210 yeah this is my first! You spend your whole life trying not to get pregnant while you believe can happen if you miss one pill but then when you actually want one, it's not happening! Just want to give up but worried if we take a break for a while it will just delay everything.

I'm thinking maybe a new hobby or something to try and force myself to think about something else!?

I am trying to wait til the end of the week @becca3210, my other children are off school this week and i have the business accounts to do so should keep me busy enough to not want to POAS all week lol

@Louise392 definitely good to keep busy if you can! @Mrskkennedy a new hobby sounds a great idea to distract.

I need some serious distraction today. I am majorly symptom spotting. Twingy stomach, hip pain, headache. All completely explainable and way too early to be conception related (only 6-7DPO) so why am I reading into all of it so much, argh!!

I'm now 8dpo. I feel no different at all. A few cramps but they could easily be af. I have a feeling that it's not my month.

I’m confused with the ovia app. The more things you feel the fertility score goes up or down !! Today I’m feeling freezing cold, body aches, tired, headaches and acid reflux actually woke me up!! Ovia says I’m in my fertile window today is this normal? Xx

@hopeful31 I feel exactly the same. I am reading into everything so much. I know it's early but I figure if I was pregnant this month I would feel something significant by now.

@hopeful31 same. I’ve stopped counting dpo as I don’t really know where I am. I’m on cd 22

@SunnyL88 i know what you mean with Ovia, I use that too and its not really all that helpful apart from its really simple to use for adding symptoms and tracking, doesnt give that much info when you add a symptom though.

I am 9dpo today, got a backache, felt nauseous the past 2 days and have a period like stomach ache today also by boobs are still sore, they usually would have stopped by now and i feel bloated,
As i woke up with a full blown cold the other day i had a sniffle and sneezing alot yesterday and it seems to have gone today all together which is really strange.

Ovia says test in 3 days - 3 days before my af is due, cant understand why that early though?

I decided to start temping to see if it's elevated or going up rather than doing HPT sticks every day just to get negatives.
Fri 98.42
Sat 98.78
Sun 97.52
Mon 97.70
Says on the internet that usual is 97-97.5 so it's been above all those (only just on sunday) hoping it goes up more or stays above.

aww think we are all going through a bit of an emotional dip is stressful stuff. Just remember pregnancy symptoms follow implantation so totally normal to feel normal before then. That’s what I am telling myself anyway lol xxx

@Louise392 you are describing exactly how I've felt the last couple of days!

Really hope it leads to a BFP, but I'm reading various threads and then worrying that maybe I ovulated much later than I thought, and have missed out this cycle. Definitely overthinking!

I wasn't planning to test until Weds as the earliest possible date for a BFP, but I gave in this morning and tried an IC strip test. Obviously a BFN but should mean I can resist the urge to test tomorrow

Me too @greywolf !

When did you say you are due af? I want to test but i am trying to resist as i know it will be bfn and i dont want to see another, especially as it makes me feel stupid feeling all these cramps and aches and it just being down to af on the way :(

AF due next Monday/Tuesday

Thinking about the aches and pains that people on this thread and others are noticing because we're hyper-aware of our bodies at the mo - it made me realise how much low level suffering we go through on a regular basis!

I don't think any of us should feel stupid for it - the combination of hope and waiting can be very cruel

Oh you have a bit longer than me still to go @greywolf
I know, these men have it easy!!

Defo true, it feels like a year and its only 2 weeks, half way there now I am sure we can wait a little longer :)

Evening ladies. 7DPO here and feeling very little symptom wise. Had a few nightly cramps this morning but that could have been anything. Can’t believe I keep checking for implantation bleeding every time I go to the loo 🙈 anyone else?

So frustrating and the wait feels like a life time! I’m so tempted to test tomorrow but deep down know it’ll be a waste and said to hubby I’m not feeling optimistic. I feel guilty for feeling meh as it’s only 2nd cycle and we have a DD.

Is nearly everyone due on around the weekend? Let’s hope we have a few bfp’s on this thread 🤞

@bumpingalong84 I am the same lol, i have had every symptom but bleeding and i keep checking to find some spotting and nothing so far.

Due af on saturday 23rd and i am regular as clockwork same date each month so should defo know by then.

@Louise392 glad it’s not just me then 😂

If I recall right it was the only thing I had with my DD and even then I just thought AF was starting so didn’t even test till I was 3days late as hadn’t had red blood and thought it was weird!! We got lucky 2nd cycle 1st time round so was hoping for the same again! Ohh to be blissfully calm and unaware 🙈

Period due tomorrow, unmistakable full ache of cramp is starting. I could cry. Drugs may or may not keep it at bay. Fuck.

It does say on good old dr google that not all women get it so hoping that is me lol.
Just ordered a pack of 2 FRER's to collect from boots on weds so will test Thursday FMU probably then i will be 12dpo ish surely it should show either way by then?
Ovia says thursday to test aswell.

When are you going to test? @bumpingalong84
