TTC buddies Baby #1 - anyone ?

[Lila34830]

Hey ladies 👋🏽
Just thought I'd post this to find some buddies in the TTC journey as a clueless gal trying for baby #1 ! 🫶🏽
Ovulated today, so I guess the 2WW starts ! ⏰
Anyone else starting their 2WW ? ☺️

@KT199 @slothbat the only reason why I haven't caved in yet is because I'm behind you guys in terms of dpo otherwise I'd have followed 😂
I'm telling myself one day more is a win each day ! But it's hard !

This morning for me so far :

• bad taste in my mouth but I think it's cause I've been poorly a bit
• nothing else 😂😂😂😂😂 fab.

Morning everyone! Happy Friday!! So glad it's the weekend and one day closer to being out of the TWW 🥴
@slothbat Sorry to hear about your BFN x

So far for me this morning I’ve had

• Bloating (which is always happening this time in my cycle) 😂
• A slight headache because I sprayed too much perfume 😂

basically NOTHING.

Sometimes I think though it’s better to have no signs and think it’s not happening than have loads of signs, think I’m getting my BFP and then it be negative..

Hi all I feel really sick today with back ache, the test I took wasn't a FRER test and it wasn't the first wee either 😂😂 I don't know what possessed me really 😂😂

None of us are out until AF shows so don't read too much into it for today !! I really hope it turns into a 🪨

Morning ladies, hope you are all ok! TGIF! I will test either tomorrow or Sunday, thinking Sunday as by 12dpo a viable pregnancy would show by then. I actually got woken up by a period cramp last night, which is very very odd for me. I've had the odd twinge and pinch since 6/7dpo, but pretty much no symptoms. Yesterday and 8dpo I've had intermittent cramps or strange cervix feelings that I get before AF. So either progesterone is playing a game with me, or I could come on AF a day or so early or maybe it's something? I have read and been told early cramping like AF cramps is sometimes a sign of implantation and early pregnancy so of course I now have my hopes up and too scared to see a negative test. I feel normal otherwise. Just need to pluck up the courage Sunday I think and get it over with and hope for the best. I keep trying to think back through my cycles before and last cycle I had none of this at all, cycle before when I had a chemical I had AF cramps from 11dpo for a day or two, and some spotting for two days and then it went. I've had the cramps earlier this month which is so so odd but no spotting. Urgh this is hard!!

@HopefulSS this sounds promising though ! But I understand not wanting to get the hopes up!
I keep on looking back at my ovulation day and wondering whether we DTD enough ! Meanwhile my husband probs forgot we are ttc 😂😂😂

Aw it sounds good for you though 😊
Maybe I’m crazy, but I make notes every cycles of what I experience on what days and then I can compare when symptoms appear!

@slothbat sounding good for you too!!

Fingers crossed we get some fossils this month!!

I did and I know I shouldn't have because only 7PO!!!

Ughhhhh this is terrible lol, going to try and just go to the toilet in the morning ASAP and ignore the feeling to test. Maybe Sunday/Monday? Or maybe still too early for anything... What about you?

I just feel a bit sad because if this is all AF related it's so early, I never get anything really until the morning of. And maybe a heavy feeling in my cervix a day or two before AF but not from 8dpo. I just hope it's not an early period il be so upset. I feel frustrated 😣

Awww dont despair girl. We're all in this together 🦕🦖🦕🦕

But keeping in line witht crazy thoughts today ... Does anyone know how to check their cervix ? And how it should be before period / conception ?

@Lila34830 maybe il test in the morning just to put my mind at rest that I'm not pregnant and I am either dreaming of how I feel or progesterone is being cruel.

You kinda just can feel it if you go up there. But I wouldn't rely on that, sometimes your cervix will take much longer to go high and soft than others. Sometimes it takes weeks after pregnancy occurs so it's not a good test sadly. X

Hello dino ladies,

@slothbat it’s oky you caved, at least now you can go on with your day.

@HopefulSS oh that’s a load of symptoms really, i hope it’s leading to a BFP ♥️ If only PMs and pregnancy symptoms were differents haha. But i would feel positive since you have them so early on, i also felt some twinge back with my MC it was so odd and different pain, i think this how i knew i was pregnant before any testing so early on. Hope you turn out as a beautiful fossil.

@Lila34830 glad you brought the subject of checking the cervix! No i dont know how to and i feel like i should haha!

reporting no symptoms but i woke up with a neck pain today, so took the day off.. obviously stressing over the subject.

@HopefulSS do whatever will alleviate your stress I would say, and if testing helps 100% do it !

Ahhh yes I see!

@HeartyPanda morning gal !
I hope your neck will feel better by this evening just in time for the weekend !!

Well apparently the cervix isn't a good indication so I think I'm not going to look at it as it will add to my random ttc obsessions 😂

I feel nauseous, but I've had acid reflux all week, so deffo not pregnancy related, especially at 6/7 dpo.

@HeartyPanda @Lila34830 I'm desperately trying to focus on work and not whether I am cramping or not!! It's going terribly. I just want to know! But I really don't want a negative that's not a negative, if I wait and get a negative Sunday then I can accept it and go about my week knowing AF will arrive. Hope you gals are doing ok! This is a stressful journey I totally agree!! X

I’ve always wondered about the position of cervix and checking but I also don’t think I need anything else to add to my testing/checking list 🤣🤣🤣

At a work networking event today so very busy but also can’t get my mind away.. absolutely 0 symptoms still over here. Defo think I’m gonna end up cracking and testing tomorrow when I’m gonna be 9/10 DPO 😂

@KT199 i wouldn't take any notice of the cervix honestly I've seen so much conflicting info!

Oh hope the day goes well for you! I am working from home, my other half has gone to work with the dogs so I have peace and quiet for the day to work and type on here 😂

I hope I don't cave tomo as have a funny feeling it will be a bfn and it will ruin my weekend

I just tried to eat lunch and had to stop as the food was making me feel sick, please send me to an asylum as I think I’m actually loosing it. Like this is not a symptom but I am fully convincing myself it is 🤣. Also trying to convince myself I’ve had a few cramps, but the reality is if I’m trying to convince chances are it absolutely hasn’t happened!

I will no doubt upset myself tomorrow morning BUT I do have a busy weekend so I might be able to also distract myself!

I'm legit so hopeful for all of us that I'd be so happy that at least one of us turns into a 🪨 even if it's not me 🥲🦕

@KT199 oh I am losing it too! Literally I have already lost it!! Just hope it's a BFP round the corner not AF, and not early AF. God I am annoying lol.

Thing is, I think so many symptoms could be a sign or not, just like no symptoms can be something or not.

It's the wait that's hard. I'm going to try to force myself to move on from the month I think. Although I'm hoping so hard I won't have to.

Me too! One of us at least should get a BFP on this thread this cycle surely!!

When do you think would be the best time to use up my one and only CB Digital?

I'm thinking am I best waiting until 14dpo for that, and just using cheap ones inbetween?

I hope lots of us get our fossil in the next 7-10 days!!!

Which CB digi is it? If it's the weeks indicator I'd wait until 14dpo, if it's a sensible frer or one step you could do before. The weeks indicator are like 25 mui and the frer are like 10 mui
