6DPO - I’m going mad!

[Nmmck93]

Hello everyone, basically as the title says. 😂

6th Cycle for Baby #1 - every month we’ve put so much stress on ourselves and i would POAS from 5dpo despite it being too early.

this month we had a more relaxed approach (I say relaxed outside I was relaxed but my brain done overtime) - we used preseed and fertilily cup for the first this month.

got my peak CD14 baby danced CD7, 13 & 14 and never manger anything else and I’m now kicking myself crazy incase it wasn’t enough 😭

anyways, I’ve had absolutely zero symptoms except the tiniest little tugging sensation which I get every month during the TWW & I had been to the doctor for tests due to cramps during my TWW being so severe.

but this month I’m absolute feeling nothing.

I’m trying to hold off until Saturday to test (10DPO) & my partner has hidden my tests so I don’t POAS early 😂 he’s on nightshifts all week and off on Saturday hence why he allows me to have them back on Saturday lol.

as you can tell from my rant I’m losing my mind and need people to joint the rest of my TWW with me 😂😂

4th cycle for baby n°1 here, 2DPO.
It is very soon, be patient, stress is not good I think.
Let your body do its job.

@Internette hello lovely! Baby dust to you ✨

I know, I’m not overly stressing just the thoughts that run through my head.

I’m actually taking things easy, I’m treating these two weeks asif I am pregnant, not heavy lifting (and we’ve been renovating our new home but I’ve had to step back and not do much) & just resting and laying down as much as I possibly can.

im so close but also feel like I’m so far from getting my positive test. 🙁

Hiya im 5dpo. Not experiencing much symptoms atm though. Im trying to hold off from testing till Sunday when I will be 10 DPO

@Huriya aaaah you're 1 day behind me, i plane to test Saturday 10dpo 🙈

Baby dust ✨

Hey 😊

im 8dpo and this cycle we also used pre seed and the fertililly cup.
I’ve tried not to symptom spot this time as I have drove myself mad with it with previous cycles, been getting cramps etc but I normally get very crampy in my whole TWW. Planning to test on sat too!

Fingers crossed for everyone 🤞🏼

I deeply understand you ! It's hard to stay calm in this situation, where we can't control everything. What has to happen will happen when the time is right.
The TCC journey seem to have a big impact on your daily life right now, how is your love relationship in these moments ?
I hope this cycle is the one for you :)

@LittleLemonPie aww so close! Make sure to keep updated with your tests. I’ll update when I rest too! Really hoping for those two pink lines to show up. 🙈 baby dust to you ✨

@Huriya it’s not having a big impact as such, i working 8:30 to 5 on weekdays so evenings is just when we worked at the house, now instead of working at the house in the evenings I do light housework around while my fiancé paints and renovated. My love relationship is 100% fine, we’re both desperate to become pregnant and chat every night in bed about what life would be like with a little baby. ☺️

I'm 4dpo today and the days are dragging!
Ttc baby number two but this one is taking longer! Was really lucky with ds. Fingers crossed to all!
Going to test on Saturday too even though I'll only be 8dpo but I can't help myself 😆🙈

Hey

I'm approx 8dp (I haven't used ovulation tests yet, only based on my bossy). Cycle 2 ttc number 2. I caved and tested today even though it was pointless 🙈 obv bfn but just feel very weird today and have been having cramps a lot.

It's so difficult isn't it as apart from your partner you can't discuss it (unless you chose to of course) xx

Oops so many typos!

16 dpo here. I'm quite tired today, but I've just had some travel vaccinations, so that could be why. I also didn't sleep well last night. Cycle is between 27 days and 32. Today is day 31, so if af hasn't shown by the end of the week I'll take a test.
Good luck to you all.
@Nmmck93 you sound a bit stressed. Try not to worry. What will be will be x

I'm 7dpo and caved and tested today. I am really really bad at not testing 😭 i am the worlds most impatient person ever, I can't even wait for dinner to be done before I start picking at stuff I've already prepared. TTC and pregnancy is my own personal patience test

@TTCNoTWO I am sitting thinking about going to boots on Thursday at 8dpo & buying tests but I will try my best not to 🙈

@Fairy0708 do you usually get cramps during your TWW? I am normally so crappy from ovulation right until period ends, but this month I haven’t had barely anything, small twinge here and there. Yeah only me & my partner know about our TTC’ing so I can’t speak to anyone outside of my partner and Mumsnet lol.

@UnderstatedElegance awww have you long Lutheal phase? I usually am bang on 14 days between ovulation and AF. Fingers crossed AF doesn’t show for you and you get a BFP. Yeah I’m a little stressed but not massively, I just haven’t been able to let anything out except to my partner so I needed to vent 🙈

@HopefullMumto4 thats usually me, testing from 5DPO 😂 I don’t want to test before 10dpo because I don’t want to see a negative test just yet lol.

please keep me updated when you all test. Fingers crossed for lots of positives 💜

I had a moment of weakness and tested 🙈 8 dpo and not FMU and of course was negative. Don’t know why I do it to myself 🤦🏼‍♀️

I usually get cramping but not this much... I've also had quite a bit of CM (gross) since around 4dpo which is unusual.

In all honestly though with my first, looking back, the only real 'symptom' I had with my first was the day my period was due I felt awful... sick, sore throat... but then again we all have off days!

@LittleLemonPie oh I get you, I’ve done it multiple times before on previous cycles, just set myself up for disappointment 🙈

@Fairy0708 aw, actually last night I had some CM but didn’t pay no notice to it as haven’t had anymore. I’m just trying not to symptom spot, but I know now going forward that I will be checking toilet paper every time I wipe to see if these a spec of implantation bleeding 🙈

@LittleLemonPie has this test satisfied the urge? Now I've broken and tested Ill end up carrying on until AF 🤣

@Nmmck93 Yup do it every cycle even though I tell myself I’m going to wait I can’t.

@HopefullMumto4 😂 I’m going to try wait now until Saturday, that’s when me and my husband agreed to do one but he knows what I’m like🙈 it’s hard not to eh!? Lol

Hey 👋

6dpo here too. I feel sick as a dog but trying not to take that as a sign, I think I could just be under the weather as I have a headache too. Luckily we're going on holiday for a week from this evening so I can put it out of my mind and not test til AF is due. Still nice to have some waiting buddies though. Would be baby no2 for us. Fingers crossed and lots of love for you all xx

Early detection tests arrived today, so tempted even though I'm 4dpo 😆🙈 what's wrong with me?! The tww is so hard!

I can tell you from experience, stress and pressure will not help you. The month DP and I weren't tracking as we were moving house I fell pregnant 6 months after a miscarriage. I ovulated early in my cycle that month & POAS at around 12dpo, it was negative. So I had given up that month until af didn't show! I'm now 20 weeks pregnant. 6 cycles is not a lot to not fall.

@LittleLemonPie it's so hard holding out but I just can't bring myself to testing because I know I don't want to disappoint myself so early now lol.

@ChewChewsBiscuitTin aw hope you get well soon! Just rest as much as you can 💜

@TTCNoTWO DONT DO IT TO YOURSELF! 🙈

@Matildahoney I just want to state I'm not stressing or putting pressure on myself - I mean I'm going crazy trying to withold myself from testing early. The thoughts I've had about not baby dancing are just thoughts, I'm not stressing myself out about it lol.

I'm a little dramatic and I feel people are seeing me as running round absolutely crazy putting myself under stress, when in reality I'm going to work, coming home, doing a little bit of cleaning and making dinner and then laying on the sofa until bedtime 😂 I just have thoughts throughout my day like 'did I do everything right' 'wonder should I test soon' then talking myself out of testing 😂

I know 6 months isn't long, but it feels long when TTC'ing and wanting it more than ever & people around me are having accidental pregnancies. I've had 3 people announce in the last two months they pregnant with in their exact words 'accidents' - and that hits hard,

I'm well aware it can take up to a year, but it still doesn't mean I can't be disappointed every month I get a negative.

@Nmmck93 it's so hard when people around you fall pregnant after a short time isn't it!

My sister in law is expecting and fell pregnant after a month. With my little boy we had an early mc after 2 months trying and then he was conceived straight after. Whereas this time were on month 3 so far and nothing yet!

Hopefully this is your month lovely!

Even tracking ovulation etc is all subconscious pressure & stress, debating when to test etc etc, you may not feel it, but your body will be.
I'm not saying you can't be disappointed every month, believe me I know after taking 6 months to fall the first time, miscarrying, everyone saying you'll fall quickly next time because you're more fertile, everyone else around you falling pregnant, and then taking another 6 months to fall, so I definitely know how it feels.

Hey @Nmmck93 how are you?

Hows everyone’s tww going? X
