TWW! Lets talk our way through it

[mumtoone2019]

Hi everyone!

So i'm in the tww! Not even sure i caught ovulation on time this month and after 8 failed months ttc i'm not very positive.

Feeling very disheartened as i have just found out 2 friends are pregnant on their 1st month of trying.

Trying not to symptom spot as like i said above, i have a feeling it wont be this month.

How are you all getting on?

@Sadie95 hahah I am the same keep saying I will not test now I'm 5 dpo and the struggle is getting real it's all I think about! 🙊
@mumtoone2019 I'm good thankyou no symptoms. Just can't wait to test 😂🤞

I've just had some blood stained mucus as well! Not sure what this means. Lets hope this is a lucky thread🤞🏻

Trying not to symptom spot but i literally feel like im about to come on my period but only on cd24😕 anyone else feel like this?x

@mumtoone2019 maybe your having a shorter cycle? As your periods are irregular atm like mine? Or spotting due to implantation? Do you usually get spotting before af? What makes u think it's af? X

Hey! Would you all mind if I joined? Currently 3/4 DPO on our 5th cycle trying after 2 MC last year.

I stupidly put over 1stone on after my 1st pregnancy during lockdown which elongated my cycles to 37 days. Have been going through some tests to look at my previous MC and one of the key messages was to loose weight. Not massively overweight but they were concerned with the length of my cycles. 1stone down and my cycles are back to 29-31 days which is good - I am finding the outcome of my blood tests on Monday to rule out issues with blood clotting and thyroid.

Using OPKs and temping - after 1 year of TTC I have managed to track my cycles pretty well. We had sex this month 36 hours before ovulation - not sure what the outcome will be but AF due 19th/20th April.

The awkwardness of TTC has settled in for us big time, we only seem to dtd around ovulation once but I know timings have been spot on. We conceived from dtd only once on both my previous pregnancies.

Have the day off on 16th to spend the day in the pub for my husbands birthday so will probably test then to see whether I can have a drink or not.

How is everyone else feeling?

@Skl2021 the cramps tbh! Feels just like im about to start af. But i never have a short cycle, they're never shorter than 31 days but can be anything up to 50+ days x

@mumtoone2019 not to sure then. Guess it's just a waiting game now 🤞 x

Hey everyone hoping I can join. I’m 3DPO had a CP last cycle and MMC in November at 10 weeks. Looking forward to seeing you BFP’s
Good luck ladies x

@Mrsbg1990 sorry to hear that! Lets hope this is our lucky month🤞🏻xx

Not gonna lie i feel so down today about it all. Trying to stay positive but just wanna cry as this journey is soo difficult. I know others have it worse and we've only been trying 8 months but its mentally exhausting! 1 week left till i'm due on so 1 more week of waiting😫😫

Sorry for the moan. How are you all feeling? Any symptoms?

@mumtoone2019 it's a hard journey. Especially when it doesn't happen first time. Like an emotional rollercoaster. If you need a cry then cry let it all out u will feel better! Some times I did and felt better. Some months are harder than others especially when u feel your pregnant to be let down. It will happen keep the faith 🤞 good things come to those who wait!
I'm doing ok 6 dpo. So not alot to say. Had sore boobs last night but I can get that before af so nothing unusual xx

Hello everyone! Can I hop in? I think I'm about 3dpo, but have had a bit of a mad cycle so don't really know.

We've been TTC since December 2019. One late loss of our ds2 at 21+4 in November 2020 and a CP in January just gone. I temp and OPK, take a shit load of fertility vitamins and use preseed

@mumtoone2019 it’s very normal to feel deflated and going through this TTC journey over an 8 month period, is a long and emotional road. Allow yourself to feel the emotions and cry it out if you need to. Regardless of whether you are pregnant or not, as a woman, we have so many hormonal changes so just to reiterate, it is very normal to have a down day. Sending you a virtual hug x

It is deflating and feels endless, I get it. Last month I very much lost all hope and sense of purpose with ttc (probably didn't help that AF arrived on my Ds2s due date).

It's exhausting , mentally and physically. And letting go (emotionally) is incredibly tough.

Thank you all so much! Helps to just talk about it tbh🥰

@mumtoone2019 Has af stayed away? How are you feeling now xx

@Skl2021 yes had period like pains on Friday but then nothing. So wierd😕

@mumtoone2019 that's good news then 🤞 x

Yes😊 how are you feeling ? @Skl2021 x

@mumtoone2019 I'm 7 dpo today I'm feeling ok thankyou. I have had really sore boobs but I do get that before af sometimes. So nothing unusual xx

@Skl2021 When are you due AF? Flo says for me it will be 17th. Glad you're feeling good though. X

@mumtoone2019 mines saying 19th. One.more week to go starting to drag 🤣🤞

@Skl2021 deffo dragging haha! I'm baking to keep busy lol x

7dpo and it's starting to drag a bit now, considering I'm taking the 'relaxed' approach, I'm now starting to become a little impatient.
Also just to rattle my cage today I've seen so many pregnancy announcements that's it's actually starting to make me really sad and unhappy.
I'm happy for them but it's turning into jealousy which I know is so wrong, but somehow I just can't help it.
Is anyone else feel really down about it at the moment or just me?!
Hope you've all had a lovely weekend! x

@tulips87 i feel the same its not just you dont worry. Its hard seeing others announce they're pregnant when you want it so badly. Sending you a hug
