Ttc buddies to keep my sane?

[starryx]

Hi all

Making this thread for those who are also losing their mind a bit on this journey, we can chat to each other and try to keep each other up and positive and afloat!

@starryx that all sounds positive! Every single month I honestly have 1000 moments where I think i’m pregnant. I wish there was a symptoms completely unrelated to AF that was a sure sign of being pregnant during the TWW lol Keep us updated xx

Fingers crossed it is !! And yeah true why do the 2 have to have such similar symptoms 🤣🤣 xxxx

You know it's exciting when you see this lol.. still to test but imma leave it a few more days.. not getting hopes up yet. Mad though last night really noticed my breast had grown/nipples too and had darkened. Really achy they was too. Which sometimes I get slight sensitivity but never to this level! Fingers crossed ladies. :) how are you all doing?

This is exciting!! Do you have any usual pms symptoms or cramping or anything? I’m only on cycle day 17 so I’ve a long way to go!! Xx

I had cramping a few days ago tbh exactly like af... but still got slight twinges and cramps even now. Usually before af is due I get at least a spot on my face. I don't have any spots currently. Keep getting waves of nausea.

And ooh well hopefully all good for you, have you ovulated yet? Xx

Yes I ovulated on day 13 and had sex on CD 7,10 and 12! Feel like we needed another but other half was done 🙈.
I only have a relatively short cycle though of 26/27 days so not too long I guess!!
how long will you wait to test? All sounding nice and promising :) xxx

Ooo nice and that sounds good 👍 that sounds enough sex to quantify getting pregnant. Not too much and not too little 😊.

And yeah I said I wasn't going to get my hopes up, but I honestly feel in my heart that this is different to anything.

Probably by Wednesday if I haven't had anything I'm going to test ❤️

@starryx I have everything crossed for you!! I’m doing ok, CD9 today and trying the SMEP method this month xx

Thank you!!! I'm testing tonight and ooh what's that method??

morning ladies just playing catch up! I’m Cd23 and still not ovulated, I stopped using my clear blue OPK as it gave me an empty circle for 10 days no flashing smile so think I’m probably not going to ovulate this month, the first time in 11 months TTC. Has anyone else experienced this before?

@starryx are you going to test today? All sounds promising and if they are pregnancy symptoms they would 100% show up on a test now

@OliveTurtle i think you will have covered ovulation with BD’ing those days, fingers crossed for you

Aw I'm sorry to hear... :*(

I'm planning to test tonight, after work so about 7pm ish... I'm so scared and excited. Maybe I'm symptom watching like made. I'm so hopeful that this will be it but I'm worried that it isn't and I'm about to get my heart crushed lol.

If anyone wants to know my current symptoms - on and off tender breast/much bigger breasts still/hot flushes/abdominal twinges and pulling feeling/on and off appetite/cravings/waves of nausea/gas

Oh and big! Thirst so bad I'm drinking lots of water and frequent urination

Hi all, jumping on a bit late, hope that’s ok. TTC number one, on month 12 so finding it hard to stay hopeful now… even though I know it could just take a while. Just started the ball rolling for some private & NHS tests…
I’m a couple of days behind you @starryx , AF due on Weds. I’ve got everything crossed for your test this evening!!

Fingers crossed for you! It's such a long wait. The TWW always drags on. I'm currently 3dpo and today I've had such nagging and uncomfortable cramping in my tummy. My cervix is also high today.ive no idea what to think. I just keep telling myself " definitely not this month" why would it be. Sending baby dust to all u lovely ladies on this achey long journey.

Starryx I'm 3dpo and have the urge to pee alot more. Also today I'm cramping loads. Very sore and uncomfortable belly.high cervix. No idea what to think 🤔 I'm keeping everything crossed for u x

@starryx Sperm meets egg plan! You DTD every other day from CD8, up until peak day on OPK’s then DTD 3 consecutive days, off 1 day then 1 more DTD…

I’ll be anxiously waiting your update later, hope it’s good news!!!

@Roseberry22 i’ve had this before, I had empty circle for 9 days (maybe even 10 can’t remember!) it was driving me MAD! Then got flashing smiley for 3 days, I did ovulate that month but CD19 which was late for me as usually ovulate CD13. I know the empty circles are so annoying but i’d continue testing to be honest as you could ovulate late! xx

Thank you all in about 30 mins I shall be testing so I will inform you all of the outcome! And all the new joiners a warm welcome:)

Good luck!!!

Here's the result!

Ahh amazing!! Congratulations! I’ve been feeling nervous for you!!! What great news!! Now you need to help us all achieve the same!!!
Did you BD on back to back days? Xx

@starryx OMG! Congratulations!! I’m so happy for you, gives me so much hope! xx

Tysm!!! Its unreal

No I'd say every other day more like xx

Thank youu so much and yay hopefully you get bfp that you deserve xxx

Ahhh what amazing news! Came back to check before bed, huge congratulations @starryx !!!

Gives me hope to carry me through til Weds when AFs due...
