4dpo, impatiently waiting! Anyone else? Positive vibes only please

[HopefulSS]

Hey, thought I'd start this thread to wait out the painful TWW with anyone in a similar boat.

I'm quite an anxious person so only positivity and happy stories welcome please.

I had a terrible time trying to conceive a few years back with an ex due to infertility on his side, and so now I have met my life partner and we have started trying this cycle I am struggling not to feel down like I did before even though it's someone different.

I must add that we did have one off unprotected sex last cycle and I had a chemical. So I am hoping we will be lucky soon.

I have a lower egg reserve and I am 35 so anyone in a similar boat to me I'd love to hear from you.

Baby dust to you ❤️

Neither for me! 7dpo tomo so hoping for some cramps or spotting to give the game away 😂 my boobs have been sore today so it makes me feel good that progesterone is rising. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

@YourRealLion haha my guy has no idea all I talk about is what dpo I am and if I have any spotting when I wipe or random cramps 😂😂 he's blissfully unaware of how a woman's brain works when TTC 🤣

I've had a terrible night's sleep. It took me forever to get to sleep and then got woken up super early, so I'm feeling groggy now.

Anyone testing tomorrow? I'm going to buy a pack of cheapies today. I really have no expectations this month but might as well see !

Meaning to add I'll be 8dpo

@YourRealLion, not me, I'm slightly behind you by a few days. Good luck 🤞

I’ll join!

Also 7dpo today @HopefulSS.

Is 8dpo not a bit early to test @YourRealLion ?

@YourRealLion il 8DPO and I think I might test.. I've got a box of cheapies so why not 😅

Sorry, I might test tomorrow @8dpo and if negative I'll test at 10dpo (Tuesday)

Not sure about symptoms but I've been unable to hold my pee in all day today and yesterday. Been needing to pee so much. So odd

Let's do it ! Early or not it's on my mind anyway. I'll test until I can feel those pms symptoms kick in and then give up as I'm expecting nothing this month 😄

@YourRealLion BFN for me today but not feeling disheartened by it, will test again tomorrow morning!

Fingers crossed for you this morning!

Total bfn for me but I'm the same, I'm kind of just letting myself poas because it's on my mind anyway. Did have some bizarre dreams though and more cramps but I'm trying not to read too deeply into it.

Morning ladies! I am 8dpo today, I won't let myself test until Wednesday I think at 11dpo. I am hopeful for this month but also no there's a higher chance of disappointment 🫣

Morning! I'll probably still be poas on 11dpo so let's see eh!
I think this is the most easy going TTC thread I have read yet 😁

@YourRealLion I think that's good! Sometimes the calm is what you need, I am trying so hard to forget about being 8dpo but equally it's hard and I can't lol. I am seeing friends later for a roast, I've decided I will have a wine or two as I've not had a drink for a week!

@HopefulSS @YourRealLion

Do either of you have any symptoms? Do you track BBT? Cervix position?

I seem to have a high cervix but to be honest I have nothing to really compare it to so it might not be 🙈

I've been having mild on and off tummy cramps and sore boobs but again, when I wasn't ttc I wasn't really paying attention so this could be completely normal for me at this stage in my cycle!

Attached my bbt graph although I'm 95% sure it's wrong and I'm 8DPO. I had positive OPK on CD11 and egg white cm etc!

My cervix was high last month until my period.
Felt I had constant twinges but didn't amount to much. Thought I had more cm this month ... but really it's nothing extraordinary. I've kept a log of most of the days from last month and seems I was the same. So curious to see if anything changes between now and next weekend

Personally I find the first week the hardest I've realised. Get really meh after ovulation and then I bounce back again - could be hormonal shifts. So now I'm just going to see what happens! It'd be a nice surprise 😁

@sellingupslow I would say you are right and CD11 was the day before you ovulated or the day of. Is that natural cycles? I did find that it was wrong a lot of the time for me when I used it before!

I have absolutely no symptoms right now. No cramps, no sore boobs, no spotting, no unusual CM, literally nothing so I am sure it's not my month this month.

I am 9dpo today and I am all groggy and snotty lol, so I think I may be coming down with a cold before my holiday! Rubbish 🫣

I don't feel unwell thankfully just groggy. Annoying though.

So yeah I am setting myself up for the disappointment this month I can feel it just isn't my month.

I don't know if I'll bother testing on Wednesday now as I pretty much know I'm not in with a chance. My cervix is sitting high to mid way and isn't hard but not squishy so I don't think it's telling me much right now.

Just want to go away and forget about it all for a week next week and enjoy some sun ☀️

@YourRealLion so good that you are upbeat well done! I am really struggling to stay upbeat because of my previous experience with an ex, I've had so much disappointment before I'm just waiting for it again.

My OH annoyed me last night too so that's probably why I feel a bit negative about this month. Oh and that I had a lot of wine last night with a friend so I am convinced it's AF coming and but a BFP. X

We've got this next month if not , don't stress yourself girl, think of that baby making vacation!!
I have Absolutely 0 syntoms as well apart from crying at everything lol xxxx

@PSYJAM I know right I've cried all day! Annoyingly my fertile window starts as I land BUT atleast that shit week of period leading to ovulation il be in the sun chilling xx

How is everyone feeling today?

BFN for me this morning and big temp dip. I've been having a painful heavy feeling all day in my belly and slight back ache. Don't usually get this before af (I'm due on Friday) but I might also have just been oblivious in the past 😅

I'm 8dpo today! No signs or symptoms, will wait for the weekend for a test.
