That dreaded period of waiting to test 😓 9 days before I can test, it's not fun. I've never been a very patient person 😅

Just checking myself in here to see how you get on 😊 the waiting is a killer. Good luck to you

It's so awful. It feels like the days just drag 😭

I'll join, although I have zero expectation of a BFP! I do like seeing other people's journeys though and getting their BFPs. Fingers crossed for everyone 🤞

Thank you both 😊 I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed too. It's my first cycle monitoring, so it's all very overwhelming 😅

I have literally lost track of what cycle I'm on 😫 I've stopped using OPK and just do temping, seems to give a good indication of ovulation.

I haven't done temping this cycle. I remembered too late but if I'm not successful this month, then I'll be temping next month ☺️

Can I join please?! Second month TTC, 7dpo and still having BFNs. Not sure if im out but cross nothing out until AF arrives.

I have my fingers and toes crossed for us all! ✨

ThelastRolo20 · 01/12/2023 19:26

Hello can I join? 1dpo, first proper cycle after a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks in October. Far too early for symptoms but for some reason this cycle my boobs hurt! Never had that even when pregnant with my daughter 😂 so who knows what's going on

Potatogirlpie · 01/12/2023 19:33

@gem71 I think it's still too early, so you're definitely not out this month, try again in a couple more days. I'll be keeping everything crossed for you x
@ThelastRolo20 definitely too early but hey, who knows, I'll be sending all the good vibes your way ,☺️

Super strange feeling and I'm not sure if it's all in my head or I'm being paranoid but I'm 4dpo (still super early for any symptoms) and I keep feeling this pulling feeling in my lower abdo when I move (never felt before). It's like a pulley/crampy kind of feeling. Am I going crazy? 😅 Scared I'm gonna dislodge any potential progress 😂

Daisyrobin123 · 02/12/2023 20:15

Hi I would love to join!
I'm 1DPO on cycle one. I already have an almost 2 year old.

I told myself I wouldn't obsess/read here/test early but I don't think that's going very well 😂

It took 3 cycles to conceive my first, but I think I missed ovulation the first 2 months! Flo app said I'd ovulate day 14 and I think I actually ovulated day 16-17!

ThelastRolo20 · 02/12/2023 21:19

@Daisyrobin123 we're similar! I have an almost 2 year old and I'm 2 DPO. Unfortunately I had a missed miscarriage at 12 weeks in October but hoping for good news this month x

Daisyrobin123 · 03/12/2023 07:55

@ThelastRolo20 Sorry to hear that 💐I can't even imagine.
Will you test early this month or wait until AF is due? So far I'm feeling quite chill about it all but let's see if that continues!!

ThelastRolo20 · 03/12/2023 08:12

@Daisyrobin123 thank you ❤️ given the miscarriage I'm going to wait until AF is due. Focusing more on Christmas as a distraction although I'm secretly looking forward to 7 DPO so I can obsessively symptom spot 😂 what about you? X

Daisyrobin123 · 03/12/2023 11:16

@ThelastRolo20 Completely understandable. Did it take you long to conceive your first child? I'm finding it really strange going back to the beginning and starting all over again!
It took 3 cycles for us last time, though the first month I was only going off the Flo app and was definitely timing it all wrong. I didn't want to stress this time but I have started with the OPKs already as I didn't have a clue when I'd be ovulating!

ThelastRolo20 · 03/12/2023 18:00

@Daisyrobin123 it took 3 cycles with my first and it took 3 cycles with my second although COVID threw the first of those two cycles off so really it was first time lucky! Hoping it won't take long this time around 😊

miamiamia869 · 04/12/2023 15:12

Hi joining in, I believe I am 4dpo after a miscarriage at 12 weeks on 6th November.

@ThelastRolo20 Hi - I am with you in another group post
I think we are bang on the same DPO following our miscarriages so praying for us.

Good luck everyone

ThelastRolo20 · 04/12/2023 15:25

@miamiamia869 yes we are - hi 😊

We're bang on the same! This TWW is really dragging for me, how are you feeling?

miamiamia869 · 04/12/2023 15:48

okay, I am feeling miles better from when it first happened and just trying to focus on TTC again. I think seeing scan photos for people due the time I was is really hard though. How are you feeling

I just feel like I'm being too positive and if AF arrives its going to hit me like a tonne of bricks. No symptoms or anything yet and just knowing its going to be a long wait! like you say really dragging and I am obsessing already lol. When will you test if AF doesn't arrive I am going to go for 14th or 15th I think. How are you feeling?

ThelastRolo20 · 04/12/2023 15:58

@miamiamia869 I know what you mean. My 12 week MMC was mid October so I've had more time to process but my friend had her 12 week scan last week and I said let me know but please don't send me the scan picture.

I'm trying not to convince myself I'll be pregnant this time, but I want to be so badly I'm also dreading AF arriving! Have to keep reminding myself that each month it's a low chance, and at least I can enjoy all the Christmas food and a drink if it doesn't happen.

miamiamia869 · 04/12/2023 16:36

@ThelastRolo20 oh I feel exactly the same like I have almost convinced myself its going to happen, and I need to keep telling myself its a low chance as I know that will be soul destroying when and if AF arrives. Its so hard though as its what's keeping me going after miscarriage and I presume you are feeling the same. Like you say if the worst does happen at least we can have a drink and eat all the good foods over Christmas, and the festivities will keep us busy and minds off everything.

Oh you have a friend expecting with close dates that is hard. My friend is due Christmas eve. I arranged her baby shower and we had that last week. I haven't told anyone so she is unaware and is always sending updates and her final scan photo last week. It was an amazing photo actually but for some reason its the scan photos that are triggering. Maybe because that's when I found out at a scan. I was really looking forward to telling her that we were expecting the same time too.

ThelastRolo20 · 04/12/2023 17:37

@miamiamia869 you're a stronger person than me to have done that baby shower! I hope you're okay. I do think the scan pictures are difficult because of when I lost the baby for sure.

I'm planning on getting as close to period due date, if not after before testing. So maybe a week Thursday? I think that's 14 DPO

miamiamia869 · 04/12/2023 17:50

Ahh thanks. Yeah that's when I'm thinking also. Counting down the days and hoping and praying x
