Same, I just dont feel pregnant :( but trying to not loose hope for this cycle just yet <3

So sorry, it's such a cruel journey 😩

No worries @Miffy1994 in my fertile period at the mo, ov tests are getting darker, we're DTD pretty much every day because we want to, even though ideally it's EOD, but never mind, we'll either catch it or we won't!
You never know It only takes once!
Stressful waiting isn't it?! I'm not even at that point yet!

@carolinep3 sorry to hear that 😭 was really hopeful for you after the acupuncture and good progesterone rise . Could be a chance its implantation spotting? X

Thanks @Floralcat
I doubt it, very confused though as my bbt was higher this morning, I thought it was suppose to drop a few days before af?
I work in a school and it is SO hard to be here today, I'm trying so hard not to cry, but can't focus!
I think implantation would be wishful thinking.

I would defo not rely too heavily on flo or any of the apps. According to the apps I couldn’t have conceived my so the month we did - yet here he is 3 years on! They’re a good indicator but I would cover all bases as they assume a “typical” cycle

I’m onto another cycle. AF arrived yesterday.

totally relate to the discussion re pregnancy being all around you when you’re ttc! Seeing a pregnant friend this weekend and know I’m going to find it difficult. She had her DS 6 months after I had mine and there’s a sense of being “behind” that I really struggle with.

Sending you so much love and strength to get through the day ♥️♥️
I'm feeling the same today at work, I'm just aiming to get through the day and then probably straight to bed for a cry haha
It's just awful isn't it, you've got this xx

Thank you so much for saying this, it's given me some hope even if the app thinks there was no chance!!
Trying to keep the faith xx

@Digby86 thank you. Next month I'm definitely not taking it as gospel and going to listen to my body. I don't want to start doing OPKs unless I'm still not pregnant by the middle of the year or so. I've had shooting pains in my left side today as well so I honestly have no idea what's going on! Just going to try and keep DTD and hope for the best!

@carolinep3 I'm so sorry 😔 could it be implantation spotting? Take care of yourself and allow yourself to feel how you're feeling. If you need to leave work early and take time out for yourself, then do it xx

I'm so sorry sending you lots of strength it's such a tough process 💖

AF is due tomorrow and I'm honestly soooo tempted to early test I'm going out of my mind waiting 🫠 I would usually spot by now and everytime I go to the toilet I'm anxious waiting for blood. would any tests be accurate a day early? Or should I just suck it up and wait? With my first child I fell pregnant without really trying (just stopped pill after several years) and so didn't have the stress of cycle tracking and TWW's! My obsessive brain can't cope.

@carolinep3 urgh so shit especially when at work when you want to process everything alone and cry! Sending you a hug x

@Tia22 I've not done temping myself but sounds like a cold could impact this?! So frustrating! x

@Digby86 so sorry AF arrived😞 sending a hug x

@Mumzydarling12 Whispered congratulations!❤️

@Miffy1994 think we are similar cycle days. I (think) I am 6dpo today. Feeling nauseous on/off but don't know if this is just mind playing tricks as husband is unwell at the moment so could be that. Plus I think it must be too early for symptoms? Really want to order tests and start testing but another part just wants to wait and live in hope😂

Well done for holding out for so long!! Best of luck xx

I'm 2dpo, I think. But I have had some sharp shabby pains in my left side last night and today, which I think is my body's way of taunting me to make me paranoid!

Sorry to hear @carolinep3 , it's so rough 😔

Fingers crossed for you!! I’m one of those as 8dpo today and when I had my DS I had a vvvfl at 6dpo then a clear line at 9dpo yet I haven’t had a single squinter so far. I really felt pregnant then these last few days nothing so just feel I’m out this month.

@BerrieSweet im the same! It’s still super early but I just can’t tell myself that for some reason! 😩

@carolinep3 sorry to hear this, was really rooting for you as everything seemed to be pointing in the right direction.

TTC is holding onto hope so tightly :(

Also what test is everyone using, not sure I trust the easy @ home pregnancy ones for early detection

Hi ladies, I’m tentatively joining the ttc club again! Not actively tracking anything at the moment as we do actually have a young child already but due to health issues & doctors advice have decided now is the time to start trying for #2. Based on my previous cycles this is my fertile week so we will see!

It’s so frustrating isn’t it 😅. I’m trying not to overanalyse my body (famous last words as I do EVERY tww without fail). Nice to have someone else with a similar tww timeframe 😊

Just wanted to say I’m thinking of you and it’s so beyond heartbreaking @carolinep3 - be kind to yourself and I hope you can get through the day as best you can.

Thanks all.
To top off the total crap fest this day is I'm now pretty sure I have either a UTI or thrush, which I haven't had for about 6 years!! 😭😡

Oh so sorry to hear @carolinep3, hope you can rest up & be kind to yourself. The UTI to top it off is just not fair! Take care but let us know if anything changes x

@carolinep3 Big hugs ❤️

I wish you could just pick your egg out, put your DHs sperm in it and put it back up. Why does it have to be so difficult getting preggo 😮‍💨😭😂
