It’s really nerve wracking isn’t it :( I feel like I’ll be too nervous to test but also would rather just know either way because the longer you wait the more you convince yourself you could be…
When will you test @StephC85? I have everything crossed for you that AF doesn’t come tomorrow 🤞🏻!!
That sounds really promising for implantation symptoms @Nico89, have you felt like this before during the TWW?
I just met up with some friends I haven’t seen in a while & started crying about not being pregnant yet (after two months of trying). They all looked at me like I’m absolutely bonkers 🤣 I think it’s helped me to realise how much unnecessary pressure I’m putting on myself and I weirdly feel better for it lol.
Xxx

Congrats @arianasky @ThePodParent, such amazing news and fantastic way to end the year! Wishing you both happy and healthy 9 months ahead 🎉💕

Here's to more BFP's in the upcoming year 🥂 (alcohol free ofc 😉)

Thank you @ttcbabya 💕

arianasky · 31/12/2021 18:21

Happy new year everyone and here's to us all having our BFP/babies next year 🥂🎉🤞🏻🎉🥂

SkaterChick · 31/12/2021 19:15

Anyone else feeling like the tww is going extra slow?!
I'm about 5dpo and as ive been back to work I feel like Xmas was way longer ago 🤣
Can't stop symptom spotting either. I had some cramps Thursday. Then I thought my nipples felt sore when I was scrubbing myself in the shower and then today j thought my bipples felt sore/sensitive when I whipped my bra off 🤣

Nico89 · 31/12/2021 19:39

@Mariabombia I remember being exhausted before/around my bfp with DD but nothing else that I can recall except maybe some slight cramping. I remember checking constantly to see if AF had arrived as was late.

This time TTC most of my TWW symptoms can be attributed to PMS. This month I just feel different, but can't put my finger on it. I don't really have any of my normal PMS symptoms at the normal point I get them but I did take EPO up until ovulation so maybe that has eased some of the symptoms 🤔
I switch between convincing myself I am pregnant and then talking myself out of it so I don't have my hopes dashed.
I have stupidly agreed to work overtime this weekend (provided I don't test positive on LFT in that time) so it will at least keep me busy but I'm really not feeling up to it

Congrats @arianasky and @thepodparent!! And happy new year to you both.

Elspethelf · 01/01/2022 01:48

Happy New Year all! I am currently 5dpo and not symptom spotting because stupidly period symptoms are the same as pregnancy symptoms. How is everyone staying sane in the tww?

contagioushippie · 01/01/2022 02:09

Welp I'm pretty sure I ovulated today. Hubby and I have BD almost everyday since last Thursday since my calendar and OPkS aren't in sync and then BBT says I O'd today. We are so ready for a BD break....but I think we need to just one more time...not sure I have the energy but here's to hoping we can polish 2021 off with one last BD 😅

AlmostLondoner · 01/01/2022 07:51

Good morning and happy new year.

I took test tomorrow and the faintest line appeared. It was in a minute but was very faint, too faint to take a photo. Now it's darker of course. I don't know what to think. 10dpo today. Same test was negative yesterday. I am scared of another chemical 🙄

Not tomorrow 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ this morning 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Nico89 · 01/01/2022 08:43

@AlmostLondoner I feel like I can maybe see something but voice of reason says it may just be indent line. But my eyes are awful do please don't take my word for it! Maybe try and hold off another day or so and test again. If it is a faint line hopefully ot will be more obvious in 48hrs. Keeping everything crossed for you.

My covid PCR was negative, DH is positive so he is hidden away isolating and I'm going to face the rain we have and take DD for a day out to keep myself occupied today, then I'm working overtime all day tomorrow so I have things to keep my mind occupied. Earliest I want to test is Monday at 10dpo but 5days since unusual spotting which could have been IB. I'm going to try and find other things to occupy as AF due weds and reluctant to test before so as not to get my hopes up.
I now have really tender boobs and this morning very mild cramping so I think she is coming.

AlmostLondoner · 01/01/2022 08:53

@Nico89 well I hope it's not as it appeared right away and not after it dried up but who knows 😳 just getting crazy here. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

BiscuitLover3678 · 01/01/2022 09:05

I did a sneaky this this morning. Nothing! Not even a hint 🤦‍♀️ AF due on 5/6th so just in the window for an early response to work. I know I just need to wait but my hopes aren’t high at all for some reason. We have had all sorts of illness so I feel like my body won’t have bothered to implant or anything.

arianasky · 01/01/2022 09:25

@AlmostLondoner I can see a VVfaint line 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Timeaftertime21 · 01/01/2022 09:32

Hi Ladies. I usually try to avoid testing before AF is late but I caved last night as it was NYE and ended up upsetting myself seeing two BFNs on a CB and an IC. AF is due on Monday. I realise this was silly as it was not FMU but I panicked 😒 I definitely had some weird symptoms this month (early cramps and wet CM) but after hours spent Googling and analysing these symptoms I've realised that there is no definitive answer. I think the thought of going into the 6th cycle has filled me with a sense of 'What's wrong?'. I am torn between taking a more relaxed approach (NTNP) or pulling out all the stops and even considering getting some tests done privately.

Hope everyone has a healthy and happy 2022. Congratulations on all the BFPs and fingers crossed for those still waiting.

arianasky · 01/01/2022 09:32

Well everyone first of all a massive thank you for putting up with my line eye questions the last few days 😂 I got my digital today and will tell my DP tonight when he gets in, I'm going to put a baby grow we bought for our angel baby on the table with the booties tree decoration for our angel, light some candles around it and put my box with the digital test in on it... I'll take a pic later and show you all. This mornings tests a darker FRER and a darker clearblue and my digital 💕 sending baby dust to you all 💕
