Anyone else at the start of their tww? I have 4 tests tucked away in a drawer but I've purposely only got 20mui so that there will be no point taking them before AF is due. Despite this I know I'll end up using then anyway from 8dpo onwards because I have no will power 😪😪😪 what is wrong with me!!!

@Maybebaby12345 I'm about 4dpo too. I have to fight testing, it's like you know it won't show anything yet but it's so hard to resist! 🫣

Maybebaby12345 · 05/07/2023 14:34

I have 4 girls and I've never had more than the tiniest hint of a line before 14dpo so I know there's no point, but I still cant help myself!!!!
This is month 2 of ttc #5 and this will definitely be my last baby. Wbu?

I really really hope this is our month! So sick of the crushing disappointment each month! 😕 xxx

Maybebaby12345 · 05/07/2023 23:35

@Floralsandsmiles it really is crushing isn't it. The symptom spotting is the bit I kill myself over every month. But if I can give you hope, we've never found conceiving to happen quickly for us and we have 4 children so hang in there ❤

5dpo this morning and I'm just holding my breath!!!
Does anyone else find that because they become so enthusiastic about sex when they're trying to conceive, it can actually throw their husbands off. Mine definitely prefers it when he's chasing me so to speak rather than me throwing myself at him. I don't know if that's weird or not

Aww this is nice of you to say, thank you @Maybebaby12345 . How long has it taken to conceive with your 4? Xxx

I'm TTC my first baby and this is the 7th month of trying. My Premom app says I'm 7dpo today, however, I gave myself a break from tracking this month and I'm really quite sure that I ovulated a fair bit earlier than what my app said (which is never accurate anyway!), so I'm not sure how many dpo I am. I have a good feeling this month and have had a few symptoms, but not getting my hopes up too much. I think I might try and test tomorrow morning and take it from there. Have been feeling rather down in the dumps about how long it's taking us, so I'm crossing my fingers!

Maybebaby12345 · 06/07/2023 12:53

@Floralsandsmiles about a year or so each time. Although there would be some months here and there where we had ttc fatigue and kind of only half tried.

@Ladameauxyeuxbruns welcome and really hope it's good news for you this month!!!!! I know a few friends who got pregnant the month they didn't try and track everything! Let us know how you get on testing 😊😊😊

Aww wow @Maybebaby12345 that's a really long time! Well done you for sticking with it and being so up beat. I'm really not feeling very positive 😕 xxx

Maybebaby12345 · 06/07/2023 13:09

@Floralsandsmiles I totally get why you feel like that, and I've definitely been there many times, but don't give up hope ❤

Thank you :) Took a test this morning and feel like I can see a vvvvvvvvv faint shadow of a line, but could just be my brain, camera didn't pick it up. Looks like maybe I didn't ovulate early as I thought, so will test again in a couple of days. My symptoms haven't subsided, so very quietly hoping!

Maybebaby12345 · 07/07/2023 13:38

Oh I really hope it is!!!! Hopefully some progression tomorrow!!!!

Hi guys mind if I jump in on this post?

I'm currently in the TWW attempting for our first. Been trying now for around 4/5 months and every time I reach this stage my mind plays so many tricks on me!
I've started changing my diet, too scared to swim in the TWW or do normal things in case I 'change' what could happen! I've even invested in a conception cup!

Currently 5 days since ovulation was positive and now sending myself insane. It's crazy what information is out on the internet, my minds is going to explode. Last month we were really conceived I was pregnant, experiencing new symptoms which I've never had before, even went to the GP and they just said it was down to my menstrual cycle. My body continues to play tricks on me!
I'm trying not to symptom spot this time but it's so hard.

Each month I've used early response tests but when they come back negative I don't believe it until I've actually started my period (which is always on my expected date) so I find it a loosing battle 😂so hoping to wait this time until my period due date.

Any support to get through this TWW would be amazing!
