Fecking TWW limbo torture

[Secretsquirrelisfedup]

We are currently TTC #3. DC are 7 and 4 going into Juniors and Reception this year. DP has always been on the fence about whether to have anymore until early this year and now he’s as enthusiastic as me that it’s the right thing for us.

Both DC took 12-18 months to conceive and we got our hopes up so many times each time only to feel rubbish when it wasn’t to be. We haven’t been trying half as long this time and yet I’m convinced this month is the month, not for no reason. I had what I think was possibly implantation spotting yesterday evening and I’m crampy but milder than with AF and I feel a bit sick and knackered today.

I know it will take a couple of days for HCG to build up enough for a BFP if this is the case (didn’t stop me POAS this morning and getting a BFN). The sensible part of me is trying to stop myself from getting my hopes up as I know it could just as easily be my body messing with me and the start of AF a few days early but I can’t stop convincing myself I’m pregnant. Arrrrggg

Thank you!
I'm going to do my damndest not to test before next Friday. But I have ic in the house. So you'd all be right calling me delusional 🤣 but I really feel this may be the month. It breaks my heart when af shows and I have to tell dh that it's "not the month"
Hope you're all ok today ladies. 💕 xx

@Bigfatwiggle I can’t eat dairy or too much high sugar stuff but every now and again I accidentally inhale a pizza and/or a massive bag of sweets and regret it almost instantly and yet I never learn. I’m being extra well behaved at the moment though, unless AF arrives then my willpower will collapse 😂

@Alice8688 I’m not calling you delusional it would be calling myself delusional too 😁. I’m exactly the same, I’ve peed on that much money in the last few months only to be gutted and half blind trying to spot a hint of something in different lights.

I can add stabby boobs to the list this morning. I may have caved when that started and tested. Despite the spotting on Monday afternoon which totally disappeared by Tuesday afternoon, feeling sick, crampy, knackered ever since and now having stabby boobs I still got a snow white BFN... FFS.

How are you all feeling today? X

Glad I'm not alone. I've got the muchies which is classic one week before period symptoms for me.....so I don't think I will be this month. I have a gut feeling that me and my bf just won't get pregnant without help and I don't think I could go through ivf.
Someone has brought their baby into the office today and I'm finding it really tough so I've come to the work cafe to eat my feelings. No one at work knows I'm trying and how long it's been going on for. It's crap. The thing that keeps .e going is
How's everyone else today?

Hi girls, I am new here. TTC 1, currently 10dpo.

My symptoms:
Day of ovulation - weird feeling in belly, like emptiness
1dpo - cramps
3dpo - sometimes cramps after bm and boobs sore (never sore so early)
7dpo - brief feeling of warmness in belly, like burning but not painful, BFN
8dpo - BFN
9dpo - boobs even worse, faint line, nausea
10 dpo - boobs still sore, nausea and faint line

Not sure if the photo shows it good, it's a test from Poundland.

Should I hope?

Hey, can I join because I’m driving myself mad.
Tww is almost over and I appear to be spotting today. Ovary pain yesterday on the right side.
Feel like af is on its way and tmi but I’m quite wet down below. What do you reckon? Agh!

@Bigfatwiggle I really hope you’ve just had a case of not quite right timing so far with your DP working away and that you get some good luck soon but you’re not out this month yet. It’s bloody lonely TTC for so long without anyone knowing and trying to stick a brave face on while you’re around pregnant people and babies isn’t it.

@AlmostLondoner I see those lines just about and all your symptoms sound positive too. Lines should get darker within a couple of days. Congratulations

@crazybunnylady123 Sounds like it could be implantation as it’s exactly how I felt with my first but could also be AF coming. Fingers crossed for you that it’s the first one x

@secretsquirrelisfedup i am scared to pee on another one in case it disappeares! 😳

@Almostlondoner I know how that feels 😖. You could wait it out till AF is due and hopefully a no show if impatience doesn’t win out over the fear. I couldn’t though my impatience always wins 😂

@secretsquirrelisfedup I am on my way to buy different brands of tests! So much to my patience 😁

@Almostlondoner I’ll cross my fingers and my toes for you to get a nice visible line. If you get one can you spread some of that luck around please 😁

Fingers crossed with the test!

@Secretsquirrelisfedup boots!

@Almostlondoner woohoo congratulations now can you sprinkle some good luck on the thread 😊

Congratulations!!! That's a fab line! A very happy and healthy 9months to you ☺️

Just out of curiosity I've never seen these boots ones before! What sensitivity are they?? Xx

@secretsquirrelisfedup I sprinkle all the good luck on you and to it I am also gonna add what we did that we succeeded so soon! ❤️

• I prepared my body and my mind few months before getting pregnant, good healthy food (I used to have all the gyno problems but after going vegan everything went away, even cervical changes!), husband also vegan, he lost 12kg and got rid of inflammation
• found this free channel on youtube - YogaYin - fertility yoga and I tried to exercise from it to manage stress
• temping from February to know my cycle
• eating pregnacare me and husband for conception
• properly times bd around ovulation
• having legs in the air (with butt bot just legs so the whole pelvis is in the air) for few minutes after bd
• staying in bed for at least 20 minutes after bd
• every day I put my legs against the wall to circulate more blood to my organs (old yoga position)
• just listen to your body and get in sync

@Alice8688 I used the early ones, they have sensitivity of 10!

@Alice8688 also thanknyou but still 10dpo so staying realistic! ❤️

Was day dreaming at my desk this afternoon.....the human body is mean really giving the same symptoms out for pms as early pregnancy! It's so annoying that the two are so similar.
Every twinge I get I think oooooh may be? Then I realise I need to fart!

Congrats @almostlondoner!

Ttc 1, cycle 4 here. 13 dpo. Usually 32 day cycle (so would have been due yesterday) but last month was weirdly 35 so Flo saying due Friday based on 14 day LP I think.

Any company welcome - I’m trying so hard not to test before Saturday, been too disappointed by early testing before!

Oh wow @AlmostLondoner that's so exciting! Thanks for the tips! I will deffo start implimenting some

@bigfatwiggle thank you ❤️ I would swear on it! Especially legs against the wall!!! It brought me ovulation in February when my cycle was too long!

Thanks for the tips @Almostlondoner, I haven’t completely given up hope on this cycle yet but if AF makes an appearance I will definitely be adding yoga to my efforts.

@bigfatwiggle I was thinking the same thing today that it’s stupid how similar the symptoms of pregnancy and pms are. Not to mention that sometimes your body will act totally convincingly different to usual sometimes only for AF to show up.

Hiya @Dollywilde I admire your determination. I really need to learn not to do early tests but my common sense and logic aren’t the winning voice in my head at the moment. Hope Saturday brings you a BFP.

Just for fun, what are the strangest sounding ways of improving your chances that you guys have heard/tried?

I’m not sure it’s determination! Just so desperate not to see a BFN
