Half way through the 2WW and just feel deflated

[xxlannixx]

Hiya Ladies
Im 6DPO and just feel fed up. Sick of symptom spotting, sick of the voice in my head telling me this is the month only to have AF show up.
Last month took it out of me when I was 8 days late and convinced i was pregnant only for AF to show. Now this month i just feel like (as childish as it sounds) im never going to get those 2 lines. I have barely any symptoms this month other than sore boobs which i get every month.
Have any of you got tips on how to stay positive?
Also anyone else the same dpo as me and want to buddy up?

@Ltay2 shame AF is making an appearance for you, when is AF due? Ohh whats COQ10 supplements?
Im 9 or 10dpo. Only got the sore boobs and tiredness. Not aching or crampy like i normally get before AF but just dont feel like this month will be my month so just waiting.

@xxlannixx AF is due on Thursday and definitely making an appearance 🙈 COQ10 is said to improve egg quality amongst other things so thought it was worth a try. Just been reading up about vitamins and found out the high dosage of vitamin c I have been taking has potentially not helped as can make the uterus more acidic/unwelcoming so definitely stopping those now. The COq10 I have ordered includes a small dose of vitamin c that's safe so will use that instead.

@xxlannixx I'm at cd 24 / 13 dpo and I've had nausea, cramps, and light brown discharge since Sunday. I've had two chemical pregnancies previously, so I'm not expecting a bfp this time.

@xxlannixx I'm feeling pretty much the same... I think AF is due on Friday so I'm just waiting for it to make its appearance. This morning I got impatient and took a pregnancy test and got a BFN so I think that's pretty much settled it for this month.
I'm really sorry to hear about your chemical pregnancies and despite the signs I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it happens for you soon.

@xxlannixx AF arrived yesterday for me so I'm out! Onto June for me...good luck to all xx

Hey ladies can I join. 8 dpo for me. Af due this sun or mon. Fighting the urge not to start testing. This is the first month I stopped temping once ovulation was confirmed become obsessed with how my temps will be each morning to the point it effects my sleep. Ttc about 1.5 years bow with mc year ago and last two cycles I think I had chemicals. Trying to be more relaxed but its next to impossible

@xxlannixx i'm on cd28 and due on today. My cycles are always between 25-28 days long, i've never went a day over 28, but no sign of AF just yet.

I did test yesterday, however it was a definite negative, but that would have only been 10/11dpo as I have a short luteal phase so maybe too early?

I did have AF cramps in full swing yesterday lunch time for a good few hours, the way they normally are when AF is literally just about to start, but no hint of spotting or anything yet so trying to stay hopeful!

How about you?

Massive good luck to everyone still waiting and onto the next attempt for the rest of us! Xx

10 DPO today - my boobs feel a bit fuller, however they also seem to have eased off on the soreness (which normally means AF coming for me). I did have some unusual thick slightly yellow CM when I woke this morning, and I had a bit of stabbing pain last night on my right hand-side. However I don't want to get my hopes up that that was implantation because I've had twinges in other months with BFNs..

Good luck to everyone - whether this month or upcoming months.

Hi everyone!
Hope you are all good.
I am 10dpo today. I have caved and tested the last 2 days and think I have a couple of evaps rather that lines 🙄
Feeling a little nauseous, crampy and boobs hurt but that could be AF!
Good luck everyone xxx

@xxlannixx af arrived on Saturday morning, period pain really uncomfortable. Just about to hit the 2 year mark :-( the news last week about the fertility clinic opening again is great news though and I cried when they announced it!

Hope there were lots of bfp this month baby dust

Hi everyone, do you mind if I join in? I'm 9 DPO I think like @xxlannixx and similar to others here! Seems like a positive experience to go through this with others. Struggling to keep easy minded and not totally obsessed with it all! As for this month, my usual PMS signs are here, low mood, slight cramping etc but holding out hope and off testing until Sunday!

Good luck everyone ✨

Hi @tetebeche. I think we're in the same boat. Seems like a good place for some support and where we can talk about this with people who understand. I'm having PMS signs too and also planning to put off testing until Sunday if AF doesnt show up. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

@tetebeche welcome!! Dont mind at all that you are joining. Hoping AF doesnt show for you. The last few days are so hard.
My AF made an appearance last night. Back to my normal cycles of only 24 days.

Morning ladies,
Joining you on this tww drag. I’m on 10dpo today, had a CP last month where it was vv faint to faint positive only to turned neg after. We weren’t trying but weren’t preventing either so it was a shock to us and obviously devastating after. Tried to dust myself off and convincing myself that it would happen again but still. This is our first cycle ttc but I just feel so deflated. Very moody if you can’t tell already and I’m trying not to symptoms spotting.

If AF doesn't show up by Sunday I think I'll test then (should be due by Friday).
The only issue is willpower! I only have expensive tests left and don't want to waste them testing too early..

Sorry to hear @Meomeomeo... I hope things work out better for you this month. I'm hoping sharing on these forums keeps me somewhat sane..

Well ladies, i'm out! AF turned up this morning a day late after lots of symptoms that had me thinking possibly otherwise so it's been a pretty disappointing morning, but i'm starting to wrap my head around it now. Going to enjoy some wine and sun since there's not much else to do and wait for our next chance of trying to come round!

Good luck to this still in TWW, and to all those getting ready to start the next cycle! This will all be worth it in the end!

BFN for me at 11dpo :(

Hi all I'll join I feel like shit about the whole process too! I don't know what dpo I am but AF due Friday.

Had a bfn yesterday

@iswhois - same situation exactly.. tested yesterday and AF due on Friday... at this point just counting down the days and waiting for it to appear and I'm having tons of PMS symptoms so i'm pretty sure it will turn up any time now. Pretty new to this process and didn't expect it to be so frustrating and discouraging...

Think everyone here is feeling down at the moment, it's hard isn't it. But our time will come, we have to believe it!!! Baby dust to all of us x

I woke up very down this morning, defeated especially yesterday I couldn’t resist to poas. It was negative as expected. I couldn’t resist and tested again this morning and to my surprise vv faint line. Tried again @11 & 3, all same results - vv faint on IC but I’m finding it hard to get excited - somehow it hasn’t sunk in. It probably won’t until a positive on Frer or CBD. (Did try one frer and it was neg). CD10 so still got a bit to go

@Meomeomeo Do you mean 10DPO? Test again in 48 hours and hopefully the lines will get darker 🤞🏼💕

Oh yes 10dpo is what I meant 😅fingers crossed
