TTC TWW November 2021

[winkles23]

Hi 👋🏻 anyone else in the TWW?

@Tinkerbell098 - I seem to have stopped with it for today at least now, hopefully it's a good sign! :)

@Amikins92 - That's when I'm planning on testing too as it's when AF is due for me! Good luck and fingers crossed for you! :)

@GivenchyDahhling @mightbeyesmightbeno @Tinkerbell098 thank you girls!

@Justkeepswimming20 thank you! I know, I was not expecting first of all any positive, but secondly that strong on my 8 or 9 dpo? I could not believe it. Still don't. The urge to do the test was just because my boobs were so sore, but this time from its sides rather than nipples - which this is what I normally get for pre AF. they aren't as sore today but they feel heavy xx

Fingers crossed for everyone this month. Every month we get another negative just takes away the excitement of it all. Planning and plotting charts of best times to dtd to ensure we’re hitting the best chances, taking as many vitamins as we can, losing weight, not drinking/eating sugar/whatever they say we need to do…all to help us get baby-ready. Then others can dtd once, or just look at their OH and they’re pregnant!! Feeling just a little down about it feeling so hard.

I know it’s completely worth it, but some days it just feels so unfair.

Yes! Final BD lastnight (cd18, 1dpo). Just to ensure.

@mrsS21 I feel you 😌 we did that too, and it didn't work for those 5-6months. We were back again to normal as we thought what's the point if nothing was happening? and I also started feeling a bit resentful to quit all these little things that I enjoy doing or eating and at the same time not getting what I want. We both went back to normal for the last 2 months and miraculously got my first positive 🤷🏽‍♀️
Sending you lots of positive thoughts!

From my tracker AF is due on Monday; I haven’t been tracking ovulation but if I was a “perfect” cycle my app says it would have been last Monday which makes me 8dpo I think (this is all still really new to me).

Anyway. I decided to test today but I think I cocked up, I bought the Clear Blue digital ultra early and got a not pregnant but I’ve since done some research and they don’t seem to be considered that good. The box reckons 78% accuracy when 6 days until missed period. I know I probably should just wait until a missed period but wondering if anyone had any advice on early testing generally? This thread has got me carried away I think

Thanks @Thedesirerainbow, that really does give me hope. I know our journey isn’t even that long compared to others, but I just find it so frustrating.

Fingers crossed we can get our bfp this month too x

@GivenchyDahhling it's really tempting to test early, especially as those tests say you can test early. I think for me anything before 12dpo would be a bit too early. Most reliable would be the day before AF. I've seen a lot of folk on here seeing lines even at 9/10 dpo, so it is possible.

@Tinkerbell098 Have you had any spotting since you noticed that little bit?

@GivenchyDahhling I have been testing early as well 🤦🏼‍♀️ every morning and I am only 5dpo so I know that it's not going to come up as positive. Just a bit obsessed, I wish I could just forget about it for a couple of weeks!

@kizzy97 nopes, nothing. Anything for you?

I think I'm going crazy with symptom spotting! I've got a bit of phlegm in my throat today and was wondering if that was an early symptom. I think I'm going mad!!!

Has anyone ever heard of anyone having swollen glands leading to BFP? I have woke up this morning with the biggest swollen painful gland on one side of my neck but I don't feel poorly? xx

Definitely AF for me :(...i was so convinced it wasn't going to be though..gd luck all! At least my next cycle will start earlier x

@beckybabyx I haven't really heard anything like that, sorry!

@Justkeepswimming20 aww sorry to hear that. Good luck for next cycle.

@Tinkerbell098 stopped mid afternoon yesterday and then had a little streak again this morning, getting more and more nervous as due date for af gets closer haha

I'm so sorry @Justkeepswimming20 good luck for the next cycle

My spotting has also stopped @Tinkerbell098 and @kizzy97 - hopefully it is IB for all of us!!!

@beckybabyx yes I really hope so as this is driving me crazy and very close to being depressed. I'm definitely taking a break from it all next month as it is getting to me now. Have you or @kizzy97 noticed anything strange with CM this week?

@beckybabyx @Tinkerbell098 Fingers crossed! And not noticed much strange with CM other than it's a bit thicker but nothing majorly obvious

Nauseas kicked up with a vengence though

@kizzy97 I think you're showing more promising signs. Fingers crossed!

@Tinkerbell098 - I hope so, I might cave a take a test tomorrow, but idk...I think it's sounding promising for you too! I've got my fingers crossed for you xx

thanks @kizzy97 I maybe testing tomorrow too. Let's see how it goes. Good luck xx
