TWW and full of cold - feeling miserable.

[Penguinmumma]

Just need to have a bit of a moan really. Cycle 3 and I’ve ended up full of cold. Day 9 of being ill. Started while I was in fw which is so unhelpful 🤦🏻‍♀️
Hoping it doesn’t affect my chances this month. I’m 8dpo and not feeling hopeful at all this time.
Had a chemical cycle 1 then loads of symptoms cycle 2 but no bfp. This time, nothing. Not a single symptom 😞

Hey @Penguinmumma I didn't want to read and run, I'm also cycle3 8DPO (but possibly 7) and I'm so sorry you feel this way... it's such an anxious time as it is. I had a really bad down-day on Thursday for no real reason, felt so low I went to bed at 8pm and just cried for no real reason at all - I had a big temp dip the day before on my chart so I'm not sure it's that's related and I had a shift in hormones. I'm sorry to hear about your chemical, especially on your first cycle that must have been really difficult.
I was really ill on my first cycle right before Xmas, looking back I think it could have been one of the covid strains that were relatively new at the time - thankfully I was off for 2 weeks and didn't leave the house anyway.

@glow92 it’s not covid as we don’t have it where we are really. Only a handful of cases that are contained and around 200miles away. Change of season cold I think as we’re heading into autumn. Don’t feel so ill today thankfully.
I’ve had a few losses and chemicals so I’m used to them in a way, but it doesn’t get any easier.
When are you planning on testing? I’m trying my best to hold off so I’m not disappointed too much by bfn’s.

I maybe got my wording wrong, wasn't trying to suggest that's what you had... you must be somewhere very different to me as we're just coming out of winter! Pleased you're feeling a bit better though 🙂🙂.

Thought I was going to early-test but I'm getting really anxious about the disappointment after feeling so low last week, might try and hang on a couple more days. The thing is I only got to 9DPO last month before AF showed up, thinking I have a luteal issue so I might not have to wait very long for my answer. Had some cramps last night so I'm really hoping they're not AF related.

When do you think you'll test? I'm sorry to hear about your losses 💜.
