Going crazy symptom spotting and peeing on sticks, trying to interpret what results I have. 😫. Anyone going through the TWW?

@Cienega Thank you, that's so interesting about ovulating a few days after EWCM! I'll definitely be getting some OPK's instead of relying on cm in that case.

Has anyone tried the one step OPK tests off Amazon before? They're only £4 for 30!

doodledeedum · 09/07/2021 14:24

@babyboybluex that's so exciting ! I can see a line 🤞🏼❤️

@MamaSJ15 9dpo today I think - trying again after a MC in May 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

Angie887 · 09/07/2021 14:46

Hey lovelies I'm 5dpo today and trying no to symptom spot but it's easier said than done 😂😂. I've been having some cramping since yesterday and temperature shot up this morning.

letsgotrilobite · 09/07/2021 17:21

@Rainbowbaby16 and @babyboybluex thanks. I'm feeling positive this month. It's nice to have this thread to join in with!

Sorry to read about everything you've all been through so far, so many strong people on here.

I've never tried tracking/charting ovulation properly, I just go by how I'm feeling and sort of what my cm is like to guess how many dpo I am. Maybe that will change if it takes a while to conceive this time so it's interesting reading all the info here!

@babyboybluex

Hey ya just saw your pic, looks very promising…. Fingers crossed 🤞 for you sweet that the line gets darker. Or maybe try a clear blue digi.

I have just broken out in terrible spots on my cheek and chin. Total bummer of a day this end. Fingers cross for better news tomoz. X

How is everyone this evening? Any new symptoms?

I’ve had terrible spots arrive today
Banging headache 🤕 last night and the odd twinge today. Mild back ache and boob ache too.

[quote babyboybluex]@MamaSJ15 Haha I wish I could be like you!! I did a test earlier on today and it came up with a faint line, although, it was a blue dye so I'm ignoring it for now. Will probably test when I'm 10DPO so Sunday!

My first turned one on the 17th of June. How old is your first? x[/quote]
@babyboybluex I have to, I'd go crazy otherwise 😂 that's a good sign though! Aw so you're after quite a small age gap in the kids then? My first turned 2 in May x

MamaSJ15 · 09/07/2021 20:08

@doodledeedum sorry to hear about the mc, but fingers crossed! How many dpo are you? X

doodledeedum · 09/07/2021 20:28

@MamaSJ15 thank you,,. I think I'm 9dpo ...

I have have a sore throat and am a bit nasally. But could be allergies 🤧... some pangs of pain in my boobs but nothing more... I don't feel hopeful. I'm trying not to pin too much on this month as I know if I do it's not helpful to recovery from MC ....

Just going to take a day at a time

Cluelost · 10/07/2021 06:40

It wasn't just the vaccine! Strong positive test yesterday evening, so pretty nervous and excited now. Good luck everyone!!!

I have had terrible skin for a few weeks now, not sure if its a sign but....

Cienega · 10/07/2021 08:07

@Cluelost congratulations!!! That's so exciting!! Xxx

Cienega · 10/07/2021 08:13

I'm 9dpo today, or maybe 8. Took a frer just now and there is the faintest line. It's definitely there but it's a squinter. It came up within the 3mins but I have had a faint line before on a frer and the next one was negative, so once bitten twice shy. I'm going to hold off on the excitement until I test again, I'll know for sure then 🤞🤞
How is everyone else doing? X

Cienega · 10/07/2021 08:14

Did you test again @babyboybluex? X

Rainbowbaby16 · 10/07/2021 08:25

@Cienega

Wow that so exciting! Congratulations 🥳. Fingers crossed 🤞 for you sweet.

Done a pregnancy test strip this morning another bfn and the opk seemed to get lighter.

So feeling very frustrated and bummed out atm. Disappointed isn’t the word. I’m roughly 8 dpo. I know it’s still early but was hoping for a small little sign of good news.

How’s everyone else doing this morning?

babyboybluex · 10/07/2021 09:03

@MamaSJ15 Yeah we would love a two year gap between both babies hence why we’re trying now incase it takes forever. You will have a beautiful gap for your two year old 🥰

@Cluelost Woooooo! Congratulations mama. That’s amazing news! How are you feeling?

@Cienega I’ve just done a FRER as well! 9DPO and there’s a faint line. Came up straight away! I kind of wish I had done this tomorrow just so it was darker and I’m not going out of my mind haha.

@Rainbowbaby16 Majority of women get a stark white negative this early on! If you can hold off, try at 10DPO ❤️ Don’t be upset lovely!!

I woke up sweating! Possibly due to my cold but I am hot in general. Boobs are still tender and the dizziness has gone thankfully. Is everyone up to anything nice today?

Rainbowbaby16 · 10/07/2021 09:11

@babyboybluex

Thank you sweet, I am still filled with a tiny bit of hope. The opk was also barely visible this morning also, so that kinda bummed me out even more. I still have symptoms…

Achy boobs, gassy, slightly crampy, and some awful spots which I only really get around 2 days before I’m due on my period or sometime ovulation. Never in the middle normally.

I have ordered some more frers for tomorrow. Just hoping and praying really as have been waiting for what feels like forever now.

I have a party to organise now for this afternoon. Dreading having to great all the guests tho, happy face 😁😊, when really all I wanna do is scream lol 😂. And half of em even tempted to slap lol 😂.

So deep breath and here it goes lol…

OP posts:
Rainbowbaby16 · 10/07/2021 09:17

Is anyone else’s other half doing their nut in?

It could just be hormones I guess but god everything he does annoys me now, even breathing 😮‍💨 lol 😂. He’s so attentive and wants cuddles all the time… I feel so awful because all I wanna do is tell him to do one lol 😂.

I know ungrateful bitch ain’t I 😂.

Just wondered if anyone else feels they just wanna isolate and not be touched? Or if I’m just getting serious pms and he’s drawn the short straw 😂. X

@Cluelost yay!!! That's fab 🎉🎉🎉

@Rainbowbaby16 good lord it's like you read my mind. I'm am sooooo irritable today. Woken up full of snot and sore throat, I'm sooooo tired and my partner keeps doing little things that I want to scream at. I've just sent him on his own to get my step son so I can clean ( and normally I love to clean- and right now I couldn't think of anything worse!!!) I need a holiday.
Ps. Fingers crossed for u x

Rainbowbaby16 · 11/07/2021 12:56

Good afternoon lovely ladies….

Well another day and another bfn this morning tho there was a slight line but too questionable to be positive. So here fingers crossed 🤞 for tomorrow.

Anyone else had any news?

OP posts:
doodledeedum · 11/07/2021 13:43

Tested too and still BFN.... decided I'm going to have a break from this all next month, it's too much 😞

Cienega · 11/07/2021 13:58

@Rainbowbaby16 right there with you. 9/10 dpo today and feeling really low, it's always around now that I start getting really agitated and just want to know either way!
After very very faint lines on two frers up to now I had the same again this morn, in fact even seemed lighter, i would have expected it to be darker this morn so I'm feeling a bit defeated now. Is it possible to imagine lines!?? I actually think I may just be seeing what I really want to see!! 😔 Really thought this month was it 😫 I know 9/10 dpo is early but thats when I got a faint positive on frer with my last pregnancy so I just expect it around then now. I'm really feeling it for all the ladies who have had to go through several tww's this is only my 3rd and I'm already dreading the next one 😔

Cienega · 11/07/2021 14:01

@doodledeedum it's so tough isn't it 😔 sending hugs xx

doodledeedum · 11/07/2021 14:15

@Cienega thank you.... I think this is part of the grief and I need to address it.... x

Rainbowbaby16 · 11/07/2021 17:13

@Cienega mine was also a frer. And as it dried, the line was defo more visible but I know that it’s also invalid after 10 mins. So I classed it as a negative.
The wait is awful and make me f were like I just wanna give up on everything. Fingers crossed 🤞 for tomorrow for all of us.

I still have all the symptoms and even another one now. Noticed my sense of smell seems to be super sensitive. And all the others I’ve had are still there. I’m so hoping tomorrow I can start the week with some positive news x

Charliecircle11 · 11/07/2021 18:10
