Extreme tiredness in TWW

Hi all, I know everyone's symptoms are different but for the past 3 days I've had to nap in the afternoon for a few hours. I am absolutely EXHAUSTED!! Anyone else the same? I'm anywhere between 4-7dpo x

Meeeee 😴

Yep. My first uti too. Feel crap. Might be the Cyclogest though. Hate ttc with a passion.

Honestly, I'm normally quite a tired person anyway but this is just next level!! When are you both testing?

I've tested a few times, really faint positives yesterday and today, hope they will get stronger and not turn out to be a chemical :( you?

Ckhw · 17/09/2021 10:39

Should mention that I'm about 10dpo I think

Berkeys · 17/09/2021 16:58

I am already testing because I am so dispirited by ttc I couldn’t even be bothered fo confirm my ovulation date this month. Latest I could be is about 5dpo.

I am 39, been trying for 16 months, with 5 chemicals and two mcs. On steroids to nuke my raging immune system (natural killer cells) and cyclogest. Grumpy, cramping, sore, bloated, and increasingly tempted to give up and accept childlessness tbh! Think of the lie ins I could have…Hmm

Sorry 6 chemicals. Had one last month and forgot to update my mental list.

Berkeys · 17/09/2021 17:00

Sorry if you are still at the ‘yay’ stage of all this ttc business.

That's exciting @Ckhw!! Have you had a chemical before? I got my first faint line at 9dpo with my son, so fingers crossed for you!

Sorry to hear that @Berkeys. I'm not surprised you feel the way you do. No need to apologise, I can't imagine how tough this journey has been for you. Sending you lots of positive vibes this cycle!

I've been so tired from I got up on Tuesday morning, I'm now 8DPO
Yesterday about 6pm it hit and today about the same, yawning my head off. Eyes burning 🔥

@Berkeys

Sorry if you are still at the ‘yay’ stage of all this ttc business.
I'm sorry you are going through that, have the doctors found a cause for the chemical pregnancies or miscarriage?
Ckhw · 17/09/2021 23:36

Sending you a hug @Berkeys!
Yes, last month was a chemical @Cruz86 and I'm pretty sure this month now too, line getting fainter each time.

Berkeys · 18/09/2021 08:13

Thanks all. Hugs much appreciated.

@Nikkic2123 it’s most likely to be my overactive immune system hence the steroids. I have autoimmune stuff going on generally. Age probably plays a part re egg/sperm quality etc.

Still tired and nauseous but I think it’s the progesterone pessaries. It’s not fair how wonen get to deal with all the hormonal stuff - I told DP he can have a turn to be the one trying to getting pregnant. We can offer him up to medical science. He was unconvinced.

Berkeys · 22/09/2021 10:38

How is everyone getting on? I was pg but another chemical at the weekend sadly. Anyone else got some good news? Daffodil

Ckhw · 22/09/2021 11:58

Sorry to hear that @Berkeys :( I think mine is too lines still almost too faint to see but no period so getting a blood test tomorrow to check.

Berkeys · 23/09/2021 15:10

Sending you good luck @ckhw!
