Hi ladies

After 3 years of ttc you'd think the tww would get easier but it definitely doesn't! Had some mild cramping this morning which I don't usually get until AF due, but I know its far too early for anything to start happening. Told myself I'm going to try my hardest not to symptom spot and test too early this cycle. Any other ladies also starting their tww? 😬

Morning @WaterBaby94!

I'm also in the TWW and like you experienced period-like cramps at 4DPO with a tiny amount of spotting and then the same happened yesterday (I'm either 7 or 8 DPO today). I've also had sore boobs since yesterday but I do get those as PMS symptoms so not reading too much into that. Very, very stupidly took a test yesterday even though I know it's far too early to show anything but just couldn't help myself! Convinced that my period will start next week on time now.

So sorry that you've been TTC for 3 years with no luck, have you tried to look further into it? When are you planning to test this month? Got everything crossed for you that this is your month! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

It's so hard not to symptom spot though isn't it?! And it's so hard when so many early pregnancy symptoms are the same as PMS. I've also been feeling nauseous since I got out of bed but I think it would be far too early for that the happen?!

After being told by the doctor to try for a year and then being told the same for another 6 months after that I gave up trying to get a referral to a fertility clinic. But I am now on the waiting list to see them, been waiting around 8 months now. I was on the depo injection for 5 years and it took 1 year for my periods to come back so I don't count that in my ttc journey. No one tells you just how much of an impact the injection has on your body. But finally 4 years after coming off birth control I'm waiting to be seen for further tests 🤞

I have everything crossed this is my month but I'm not getting my hopes up. Although I say that every month

Fingers crossed this is your month 🤞sending you some baby dust.

I'm 4 dpo as well, af is due on the 14th. I always feel like it's the longest 2 weeks. Symptom wise I managed to get bacterial tonsilitis on 1dpo and I'm on penicillin. So I've been having nausea, pain/cramping and exhaustion. Boobs are sore and I feel have got bigger. And possibly more Moody than normal

But I can't decide what's from the tonsilitis and what isn't lol

I’m 2 or 3 dpo. I ovulated early this month- day 12 or 13. I felt very tearful yesterday, so my hormones are doing some extreme things this month.

1dpo here!! Cycle 1 for baby#2.

I told myself not to symptom spot, but who am I kidding.... 😅

I was also on depo shot.... It messed up my hormones pretty badly. I absolutely regret being on it.

Sorry to hear your journey has been tough. I hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel full of sticky baby dust 🤞🏻✨✨✨

I'm 4DPO today 😁

2DPO I felt the worst nausea I've ever had, I had to run to the the bathroom and stand over the toilet as I felt that i was going to bring something up. The only thing that stopped the nausea was being laid down but then whenever I laid down I would get god awful cramps.
3DPO I woke up with the worst cold ever. Sore throat, headache, cough, tiredness etc etc. Oh also had the tiniest bit of brown spotting. And noticed boobs seem fuller. Nipples quite tender.
4DPO (today) I have woken up feeling like pure death, slept like a log last night because I'm just that exhausted but this cold is taking it out of me. Everything aches and throbs.

I work in a Nursery and have done for 9 years so without wanting to brag my immune system is pretty top notch 😂 it's rare I get poorly so all these things are very out of the norm for me.

I'm so glad I'm not on my own here. I feel completely different to this month than I have any other month.
Friday I was 4dpo woke up feeling so
Saturday 5dpo emotions were all over the place and I'm never normally an emotional person even

Pressed post before finishing 🤦🏼‍♀️
I'm never normally an emotional person even with PMS and I also had a horrendous headache last night and I never normally suffer with them. Said I wasn't going to symptom spot but I just feel different!

Just read this thread and interested to know if any of your symptoms formed into a BFP??
