8 DOP - the waiting!

[ERachD]

Hey. I'm not sure of the point of this thread really but I suppose I just need to talk. I'm bang in the middle of the two week wait and I'm driving myself crazy! I don't know if I'm seeing symptoms that are all in my head, honestly this waiting is making me obsessed. Tell me I'm not alone! I can't really talk to anyone as no one knows we're trying, and my partner is the most laid back and patient person I know (total opposite of me!)
How are you guys in limbo doing?

I’m 6dpo and going stir crazy, this is mine and DH 2nd time at TTC, our daughter is 11 so a huge age gap! I also have a 16 year old from a previous relationship. No one knows we are TTC and DH tells me to relax about it so is a bit like yours and very laid back. I am feeling very impatient and driving myself crazy symptom spotting, I’m even dreaming about being pregnant!

I'm 7/8DPO abs I'm exactly the same. I had a MC last month and haven't had a period since. Not a clue what's going on with my
Body but I know I ovulated because Iv done OPKs and had the symptoms. Got terrible back ache today symptom spotting is in full force!

This is our second TTC too! Our son is now 5 so felt this was the right time!

God same!! It's literally all I can think about. I've noticed little white spots around my nipples today and they're a lot darker and honestly it's sending my hopes through the roof! It's killing me not knowing for at least another week!

It's hard isn't it not being able to talk to anyone! If you need a brain dump by all means dump here! Xx

@ERachD you send yourself mad don't you 😂
My daughter is 2.5.
I tested and got positive at 11/12DPO last time but I feel like it was all so scary and then to lose it 2 weeks later, I feel like I just don't want to get my hopes up.

I'm so sorry to hear that it must have been such an emotional time. I suppose that's the worst part of this early stage, you just don't know what will happen but it's so hard not to get excited about it all!

I honestly think loss in these very early stages needs to be spoken about more because until reading through threads on here I had no idea how often it can happen xx

@ERachD yes definitely it seems to happen more than we realise. How are you today? I had a terrible migraine last night and Iv got awful back ache again today.

Currently 12 DPO (ish), AF 3 days late but BFN this morning.
Getting very fustrated!

I'm doing okay thank you! Got myself a little upset earlier but hoping it's just hormones screaming haha. I've found little white spots around my nipples today which is a good indicator so I'm staying really hopeful! My boobs are in so much pain today too, they feel like they weigh a tonne!
How are you getting on? Migraine and backache could all be symptoms! 🤞🤞

Aww bless you, that must be so frustrating! How are you feeling? You're still not out just yet there's still hope! Xx

Gets to the point where you just want an answer either way! 😂

Apart from feeling exhausted and some very Mild ‘cramping’ ( I use the word cramping very lightly, just can’t think of another suitable word!) I’ve had none of my usual AF symptoms.
Usually my boobs are sore, I don’t have any cramping leading up to AF, just have a few hours once began and that’s it.

Everything just feels odd! But yet still BFN. Not letting my hopes go just yet, but trying not to convince myself either! Xx

Can I join! I am 5dpo and feels like an eternity until I can test. It’s only my first cycle. I was determined to be very chill about ttc but I’m definitely not! This would be DH 4th so he’s very chill!

Of course!! Oh god same. I'm usually way more laid back but I've been like a woman possessed! I opened up to my partner today a little more though he had no idea I've been testing yet but honestly I've done one a day 😩 xx

@ERachD yeah I looked back
On my last pregnancy and I logged similar symptoms to this then so fingers crossed. Either way I would like to know what my bodies doing because it's been so long since Iv had a regular cycle I never ever know what to expect.

When are you ladies going to test? I'm doing another one in the morning, I bought the cheap strips off Amazon so I'm doing one every day until I'm due on I'll keep updating on here xx

@ERachD Sunday at the earliest! Darent!

@ERachD I can’t test until 20th so a week at least! I was planning on using this month as a trial run as I’m just off the implant and have no ideas whether my cycle is regular but fingers crossed

@YEN1 I am the same, my DD is 10 and my step kids are 21,19 &12 . Kinda feel like ‘what are we doing’ but if we don’t try I’ll regret it!

A negative for me this morning. I'm still 5 days early so not disheartened. I'm only 10 DPO and the symptoms are still very prominent! AF isn't due until Monday so I really should wait but I just can't help myself!

Line eyes?!

Me and DP could see the faintest line this morning - the picture doesn’t really capture it, but what do you think can you see anything?!

It's so hard to tell isn't it! I have everything crossed 🤞 for you. Do you have another test for the morning to see if it comes up darker? Xx

I’m going to grab some today, the pictures don’t show it well.

My DP is as blind as a bat and he said he could see it straight away. I pulled yesterdays one out the bin which was a BFN and there is certainly a difference! Xx

Ahh that's so exciting!! How many DPO are you? Xx

I’m not quite sure!

I was expecting to ovulate between 24th - 26th December, but caught covid just before which I think delayed my ovulation.

The only time we DTD (because I was too Poorly any other time) was 30th Dec, so I am guess that’s my ovulation date. Which would make me 13DPO - although I could be wrong.
I would of thought I’d have had a stronger line by now, but I know some people take a little longer than others! Xx

I was climbing my partner like a tree this month and literally nothing since my fertility window ended he must feel so used 😂

Loads of ladies still test faint at 13 DPO, I suppose technically it's still early. One of the apps I have says test mid way through expected period and some day they day it's due it's so confusing to know when the best time is xx

Sorry to jump on this thread, entering the TWW on day 1, going to be what feels like a looooong wait! Last time I couldn't wait and tested 11DPO

Somehow WFH makes the days longer
