8dpo

Probably being delusional but I’m 8dpo today, for the past two days I’ve been super achey, aches seem to start in my womb and go down into my thighs. Don’t normally get this ahead of AF. Today I thought screw it no more symptom spotting and then got some needle like twinges in my uterus that lasted all of 10 seconds. I took a test yesterday and today both negative but I’m aware I’m way too early for testing, just needed to get it out my system. Now waiting till Friday to try a frer. Anyone in a similar boat?

Hey! I'm 9dpo today and I feel so different to the last few cycles. I've had a lot of mild cramping and hip ache. I tried a frer today and got the tiniest of faint lines... so faint I think it might be an indent. I've pinned all my hopes on this month because we would be due on my birthday.
Your symptoms sound promising as you're bang on for implantation 🤞🥰 Sending good luck to you!

Awww I really hope the line gets darker for you! I’ve been a nervous week for the past 8 days waiting to test, seems to just be dragging on. I really hope these little symptoms are a good sign. It’s the same for me, if I’m pregnant it would just be perfect timing. Fingers crossed for us both! 💜

I'm 9dpo today and really struggling with this tww 😭 it's my first cycle trying again ( found out I was pregnant at the beginning of august but sadly was ectopic, a very stressful and painful experience 😭 ) so I'm holding off until Sunday before taking a test, don't want to get the disappointment of a false negative.

On one hand im really hoping for a positive result but im also scared that if I get one im going to worry that I'll have the same experience as before.

AF due Sunday, if I get a positive result this time I can tell my fiancé on our 6 year anniversary which I think would just be adorable.

Good luck to you all!
I am on my 2nd month TTC. First month I was symptom spotting like crazy but this month I just told myself these things are probably just normal I'm just noticing them more!

I will say though on Saturday I had the worst cramp like pain in the top of my thigh, just came on out of nowhere. And I've been having really vivid dreams (not about being pregnant, just really strong dreams)
No idea if these mean anything and I really don't think I'm pregnant but if I do end up pregnant I'll probably wonder if either of these were signs.

Gosh the TWW is torture isn't it. I know I'm only month 2 and many people take soooo much longer but I am already finding it so hard. Knowing that if AF shows then we have to do it all again next month.

I know how you feel! When I first started trying ( 17 months ago now 😭 ) I was obsessed with tracking all my symptoms. I was putting every symptom I had into my flo app every day and convincing myself I was pregnant every month just to become more and more disappointed. Now I can spot when things are a little different to normal but still sometimes I convince myself when it isn't the month.

I will say that both times I did actually get pregnant in the last 17 months that were sadly non viable I was having the strangest most vivid dreams. 🤔

Massive virtual hugs to you. I feel bad for even moaning. I'm so sorry for your losses and for the TTC taking so long for you. I wish you all the luck and baby dust in the world.

I am trying to ground myself. I'm only 31 and he is a few years older. We've said we will try 6 months then pay to have his swimmers checked. As we know you have to wait a year before going to doc, we thought let's do 6 cycles and then just see.

@TTCnewbies Thank you 💕 don't feel bad at all! Every single month is a stressful time it's completely valid to be upset and stressed at the tww every time.

My friend told me that motherhood begins the day you decide to start trying because that baby despite them not being quite there yet is already your highest priority and I've always found so much comfort in that.

I'm 23 but I was diagnosed with PCOS and Endometriosis when I was 15 so I was aware that it might take a little while for me. Don't give up hope. There is baby dust surrounding you, you've got this! 💕
