TWW is a killer! Need some buddies!!

[StaryEyes1978]

So 7DPO on cycle 5 TTC No 2.

Completely stressed. Not working at the moment so nothing to distract me! Anyone else in the TWW want to keep me company 😊.

Obsessing over every possible symptom! Help!!

Welcome everyone and thanks for joining in! I caved this morning and POAS. BFN. ☹️ Still no real symptoms (although a few mild cramps type twinges a bit like ovulation pain on my left hand side) but not holding our much hope. Not going to test again til Thursday (that's when AF is due).
How is everyone else feeling today! Hoping you guys have more luck avoiding POAS than I did!! 😂😂xx

I’m away all this week with work and haven’t packed a S to PO, so hopefully that will see me through to Friday!

@Sunbird24 Ahhh that's one way to do it! 😂😂 Going to try and avoid now til AF arrives or the day she is due! xx

👋 Hi everyone! 👋

Hope you're all still keeping your shit together! I'm 10DPO and NEVER symptom spot, in nearly 2 years, not once have I let my brain be fooled. Mainly because I get the worst PMT... boobs/fluid retention/nausea+vomiting/sensitive to noise+smells/crying about everything/zits/greasy hair/carb craving the works, and this usually goes on for 5 days pre period!

But this month no PMT, had to double check my calendar to be sure. And today my boobs are like Pammy's! And SO sore, even my size bigger PMT bra is uncomfortable!

It's probably still nothing but it's sure pushing me one step closer to bat crap crazy! 🤣

11dpo and I caved. BFN. Don't know why I do it to myself! 🤦‍♀️

@Beth262 and @StaryEyes1978 Gutted for your rubbish BFNs this morning, trying to stay strong until Wednesday 🤞

@Sunbird24 Loving your plan! I try to stay strong by reminding myself that HPT companies are most likely owned by rich white men who don't need any more of my hard earned cash than absolutely neccessary!

Aaw sorry for BNFs, hopefully just too early. I had one bit of brown/pink spotting today. I’ve had it before and not been pregnant but still going between hope and counting myself out. I’m not due my period until Monday so going to hold out testing until nearer the weekend.
Good luck to everyone ⭐️⭐️

Well that's me out for this month. AF arrived this morning. ☹️😢

Best of luck ladies. Sprinkling lots more baby dust your way and keeping everything crossed for lots
Of positives!!! xx

Same @StaryEyes1978 AF reared her ugly head this morning and she is certainly making her presence known! I really thought this was the month with what I thought was IB/spotting last week.
Sending positivity to all, it's not easy but we keep going and hope next month will be our month! Xx

@StaryEyes1978 and @LUNELLE1111 so sorry to hear AF has arrived for you both this month. I'm still trying to hang on in there, though not hopeful!

Sending all the baby dust your way for a Xmas conception 💕

Thanks so much @Beth262.

I ain't gonna lie, my sister in law is currently in the labour ward at the moment, just waiting on the call with the good news but I am struggling to kep my sh*t together to be honest. So happy for her but so wishing it was me!!!

Sorry to hear about your BFN yesterday... it's not over until AF arrives. Positive vibes. FC you get your BFP! XX

Wow I am totally struggling to keep my shit together today! 🤯

I think the earliest I can realistically test is tomorrow on CD30 as I didn't ovulate until CD 18/19. But I am running out of stuff to do on my day off! I've already done the washing up and cleaned the kitchen, just heading out to get my refills so I can put some laundry on... Maybe if I take the long way round I could make that 1 1/2 hours, stop for coffee 2 hours?! Ugh that still only takes me up until lunch time!

What tricks am I missing?

Ah shit @LUNELLE1111 that must be so hard for you. If you don't have a real life person to rant to, rant away here!

Sorry it takes me so long to type, I started my post before you had posted yours and it was not meant in any way to minimize the shit you're going through today. ❤️

@Beth262 that sounds like a good productive morning! Maybe after lunch you could take a walk, listen to a podcast or watch a movie!

I have started journalling and it passes so much time, I really like it!

It's so hard not to be consumed by it all. I had Covid for the end of my TWW so I was stuck in my house going around the bend! I also think Covid is to blame for the mystery spotting last week, I have heard it can play havoc with the menstrual cycle - sure that's all I need right now

Hope the day goes quickly for you.. Keep busy!

sorry I am new here... that was meant for you @BellaBella1984 not you @Beth262

Clearly cannot focus at all today

@LUNELLE1111 what a difficult situation to be in with your sis in law 😕 Sometimes it feels like the whole world is conspiring against you, to me anyway. Sending you lots of hugs.

@BellaBella1984 I'm with Lunelle1111 on the walk. Headphones in and just get out and stomp! If it's raining even better! No-one stops to talk 😆 x

Whoop made it through the day, so I'll take that for the win! Anyone else taking the small victories where they can?

Is anyone else peeing on a stick in the morning? I know that realistically I'm more likely to get my period than a positive, but that's the way it is... another cycle another stick!

@BellaBella1984 I'm tempted to POAS tomorrow as I'm due on Saturday but trying to resist. My boobs are so sore and veiny but think I'm over thinking it.

I’m only 9dpo and 4dp5dt, so I’ve got a little while yet. Good luck to anyone who does POAS tomorrow!

Can anyone else see anything?!?!

Yes defo see a line. Congratulations!
How many dpo are you??

12DPO! I feel like I need to do a few more tests but don't haven't anymore FRER must go to the shops!

Yes @20viona!!! I can definitely see a second line. Congrats girl!!! Xx

@20viona I'm not one for getting people's hopes up seeing lines which aren't there, but I think there is the faintest of lines there and if that was me I'd definitely be testing again in a couple of days! 🤞

Me on the other hand... No period, but not the hint of a line either. Waste of a b**y test! 😩

It's so difficult to get a good photo it's defo more obvious in real life. Not sure what to think!
