Ttc, two week wait...

[Carol34]

Hi all,

I'm new here so sorry if I don't know all the abbreviations.
I'm 33 and in month six of Ttc, just got negative test (yet again!). I'm just wondering how everyone copes with the two week window after ovulation. I'm usually a very relaxed person but since Ttc I'm so on edge with every twinge I feel.
We use ovulation sticks and my cycle is always pretty regular.
Any tips?
Thanks x

So the bleeding stopped as quickly as it started.
Appears to have stopped- it's not over till the fat lady (me) sings!

@mrsmw132 it's hard not to get excited isn't it. So many months I've been convinced.
I've a good feeling for you, seems perfect for implantation and with the backache.

Since last night at work (i work in a restaurant) I've had quite strong backache. That was the main symptom before I knew with my daughter 16 years ago. And in November looking at my Flo app I'd noted backache where as other months I have cramps as the main symptom in the run up.
I've run out of tests! More coming tomorrow.
My BBT chart looks different from every other month since I started charting after the miscarriage in Nov.

😂 cross post. Well I knew it! My goodness I'm trying to keep calm and although this isn't the heaving thread of activity I thought it would be, I'm very glad to be doing this with you.
Could be our month! How long have you been TTC?

Haha! Yes, crossed posts! We started In September. We get six rounds of iui on the nhs. I for pregnant after 3, and then miscarriage in Dec. This is our second round since the. Miscarriage. I think im also feeling the pressure as we only have one left after this 😱 It's going to be ok!

@mrsmw132Oh no, that does add pressure. Just when you want to be as calm and cool as possible to make a nice environment inside, it's the most consuming, stressful and upsetting thing. Not knowing every month. Thinking I am, telling myself I'm not, trying to not think about it and always being surprised when AF arrives. again.

@PennyPencils your chart looks good.
No more bleeding this end. We will test tomorrow (and all the days until AF)

Some sore 🍈 today- I've been travelling up and down Scotland this weekend so blaming the exhaustion on that.

Good luck tomorrow- what dpo are you now?

@mrsmw132

I was just thinking I wonder if my temp was really that high today or if it was because I had so many PJs and covers on due to the cold here
..
No more bleeding and sore boobs!!

Maybe you'll have a line to post tomorrow.

I'm 10dpo now, we are the same aren't we?
I've had strong backache today, started with some mild cramps though and not much happening with the boobs the couldn't just be AF. Im hopeful but, trying to remain realistic as it stands.
More tests arrive tomorrow...

Very negative today. Starting to wonder if we are out. Day 11 today.

@mrsmw132 oh no. But when I was pregnant in November that was happening to me. A faint line, nothing then a glimmer of hope, then nothing. I eventually ran out of cheapies before I could say it was anywhere near a positive and not an evap, then eventually got a line on a clear blue. Don't know the dpo as I didn't use opks then or track bbt.

My chart today

I don't know much about bbt? Is your chart looking good.
Yes- just have to be patient. We can always test again tomorrow!

@mrsmw132 it is looking good. Usually it's up and down all over the place after ovulation and this month it's rising steadily..
I keep looking out the window for the postman. I'm missed the FMU but I'm holding and desperate to go but want to wait for the tests 🤣 ridiculous!

@mrsmw132 here's the last two months for comparison. I recommend charting for anyone TTC. I often have disturbed or light sleep and it's supposed to be taken after four hours of solid sleep at least, same time every day. That's not possible for me so I take it if I wake after a good chunk of sleep. Sometimes a couple times.

@mrsmw132

Cannot believe it. Hoping so much all continues well

Amazing! I'm so excited for you!
Congratulations 🎉 stick baby stick!

@mrsmw132 thank you.
Keep me posted. Will you test again later or wait until tomorrow?

I'm out this month. After feeling so hopeful and positive, and my body giving me all the right signs, AF arrived this morning and I cried.
@PennyPencils I hope your journey continues and you have a happy and healthy 9 months ahead of you.
@dogmum93 I hope that you get started on your journey and it is not too stressful.

@mrsmw132 I'm so surprised after all the good signs. Seems like perhaps a chemical after the faint lines.
The body is working well and knows if it's not an ideal start. That's something I took confirm in when I had my chemical and miscarriage.
All the best for next month to you and thank you for your company through these few days. It's been really helpful to me 💐
