5dpo 2WW with me?

[TTCjourney2021]

Anybody 5dpo or around that and fancy a buddy for the 2WW?

I am so glad I joined this thread because I'm relating to every single one of you and I'm glad I can because I genuinely thought I was losing my mind!

Just got changed into my pjs there and my goodness the pain in my boobs 🥴 they feel like they are filled with concrete. AF due in 7 days and it's dragging in 🥺

How was everyone else's Monday xx

@Peauela I'm going to try and wait til Friday now if I can. I'm due Sunday too (best I can guess with my irregular cycle). With you on Never having PMS like this!
Fingers crossed we both get a BFP this month. Hopefully I won't lose the plot in the meantime. I now have a splitting headache! Everything is a symptom 😩😩😩😂😂

@GingerbreadTM Concrete boobs! Know that feeling. I'm with you! PJ's on and in bed. Suspect this week is going to drag so the more sleep the quicker it goes!! 😂😂

@Baileysmum220118 a night for tv in bed! It's lashing down here with rain so it's relaxing lying here listening to it.

A wee bit of self care always helps 🧡

👋 hello!
I think I'm around 4/5 dpo also!

Got cramping, strong twinges and am very emotional, keep crying over random silly things, that normally wouldn't bother me! It's ridiculous of me does anyone know if that can be a symptom?

This is cycle 2 of #2, although cycle one was right after my coil came out so we weren't particularly trying that cycle.

@Baileysmum220118 sorry but you won't last until Friday 😂 let's state the obvious!!! I will try to but admit if you test earlier 😂🤞🏻

Hi everyone can I join? Trying for #2 I'm 8dpo, tested this morning and of course was negative. When are you all testing? I have no symptoms apart from head rush a few times (had this when pregnant first time) but that could be from anything

bluey9, I try and put off testing for as long as possible and it's so crushing to get a negative result, but I usually cave around 12dpo anyway.

I have tested from as early as 8dpo before but do try and restrain myself!

@giftswap2020 feeling emotional was my first symptom with my DD. I was also very short tempered! I thought it was bad pmt but turned out to be pregnancy related so fingers crossed for you 🤞

@GingerbreadTM with you on the boobs! Although annoyingly since having DS and stopping breastfeeding I seem to get this every cycle.

I’m absolutely shattered today, thought that must be a symptom, then realised I’d clocked over 12,000 steps running after my DS. Everything just becomes a symptom during the TWW doesn’t it.

I’ll be testing on Thursday/ Friday. I am planning on a few drinks on Saturday with friends so want a negative before that and I think that’s the earliest I could realistically expect a positive.

@SpaceLordMother

I've not noticed the short tempered, but I've been crying on and off for a couple of days over silly things, don't know what's going on! Thank you, really would love this to be it!

Love hearing about all your symptoms! Still none here. I can't decide when to count my dpo from, as I got a peak OPK one evening, and stayed strong/peak the next day. Would you count ovulation as the day after the evening one, or the day after the next day one?!

@Charl881 I'm exhausted myself today, I was working & had a very busy morning but a smooth afternoon.
This boob pain is something else this month but like I said in a previous post it's probably me just hoping for the BFP.

My partner is probably sick listening to me 🙈 I'm constantly asking if my nipples look any different 🤣🤣 being an F cup he's like well your boobs are big but they are more than handful so I don't know 🙈🤣 poor man doesn't know what to say in fear of me snapping (another symptom that's raging from last Sunday 😬)

Here's hoping we all get the BFP so we have an excuse for the tiredness & crankiness 🥴🤣xx

Hi all

4dpo here too! I'm going to try and hold off as long as I can, but the temptation is already there!! I have been exhausted today and yesterday, and just want to snack constantly. Consumed so many biscuits today!! I think it might actually just be because I'm thinking about it so much, My body is tired of me already hahah.

Best of luck to you all, fingers crossed it's our month xx

@GingerbreadTM haha you're hilarious 😂 my poor hubby doesn't even know what awaits him 😂

I was tempted to test today but I resisted. I think I'm slowly losing hope for this month as I feel like AF was coming - with mild cramping and boob pain. I'm having such vivid dreams though about being pregnant it hurts me to think I'm not 😪 but the dreams are probably triggered by the fact that I really want to be. Eh.

Happy Tuesday to everyone ❤️

@firsttimeTTC2021 hello, welcome and good luck!

Ahh I'm so glad we are all in this together!! Every month I've convinced myself I have symptoms and that I'm pregnant!! This month I don't have any at all! So I don't know if that's a good thing or not!! Keeping everything crossed for us all!! AF Is due on Tuesday for me according to Flo!! So we will see! X

@Peauela I had the most vivid dream about being pregnant the month I conceived my DS! Always think that was a sign looking back.

@Charl881 well I really hope that is the case for me!! I've been having those for the past 3 nights!

@TTCjourney2021 I agree! it's really nice to be able to talk to someone about it without being judged lol

I have no symptoms either. Last month I convinced myself I was pregnant, this month I keep checking what DPO I am because I'm not obsessing. I don't know if that's a good thing or not!

When do people reckon symptoms usually begin? I always thought it was much later like 3 weeks onwards, but could it actually be from implantation if that's when your hormones are changing?

@firsttimeTTC2021 with both my DS and my chemical I had symptoms before AF was due.

With my DS it was feeling sick after a bottle of beer 😂 With my chemical I had sore boobs and dizziness/ nausea.

I thought I had some symptoms yesterday but they’ve all vanished today so might have been imaging it!

I've heard that from a lot of people, that alcohol made them feel sick or they had the worst hangovers and that's how they knew!

I've been feeling a few twinges here and there, and part of me is like ohh is this implantation, but it's probably just me imagining it. My period would be quite unreliable, and long, so I'm not sure when AF is actually due but according to the clear blue fertility monitor I had my high days and my peak days and now I'm down to low. So I'm assuming/hoping it's correct and so I'm 5DPO today. Let's see if I can stay sane until at least 12 DPO!

Can I ask everyone, are you cutting out caffeine etc? I take vitamins etc as advised, but I still would have coffee in the morning then a few cups of tea throughout the day. Should I cut down?

I stupidly just caved!!! Tested and a BFN!

@TTCjourney2021 what DPO are you at?

@Peauela 7 I think!! But only going off the flo app, I had a break from the opk's, still early I know x
