TWW feels like forever

[Bubs94]

WHY does the TWW feel like forever?! I thought I was 7dpo then I actually hit my peak late, and now I’m 3dpo and just want to test😂 fertile window being 28th-2nd with ovulation on 3rd and BD every other day so really hoping it’s done the trick. Had a chemical on Nov 10th. Did anyone fall pregnant the cycle after a chemical?

@CPHB2021 can you get a first response from Amazon or the shop? They are good for testing early and the pink dye is clearer. Maybe you could do one of those tomorrow with your first urine? Is your period always really regular? Sending positive vibes

Thank you. DH has just bought some pink dye strips on his way home and I did one, but my urine was obvs not concentrated at all, as I’d done the clear blue less than an hour before. There is a line but it’s so faint, barely viable but we both agree it’s there. I think it’s either a chemical or really early and I’ve tested with bad urine! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Periods are not really regular lol. This is my first cycle since having my 3 DC, he is almost 16 months. X

@CPHB2021 that sounds hopeful though even a faint line. Crossing fingers for you

6dpo today, it’s just dragging sooo much!

Two BFN tests. I think I’m having a chemical pregnancy. Serves me right for testing early. Just waiting to bleed now!

Oh bless you @CPHB2021
testing early is such a blessing and a curse. I was the same last cycle, tested positive on 11-12dpo and starting bleeding 13dpo. Sorry you’re possibly going through that

@Bubs94 sorry that you’ve been through this too. So rubbish isn’t it. I have no idea how many dpo I am of was when I got my BFP. I got my first BFP on Friday last week. Hopefully AF comes soon so I can move on to next cycle! Fingers crossed for you this time! Xx

@CPHB2021 Sorry to hear that, I also had a chemical last month. It's so unfair x

yes 6dpo today. I feel like I'm coming down with a cold today. Otherwise 0 symptoms!

What about you? @Bubs94 @SKLM @ttcfirsttime26

Ahhh tell me about it. I don't even know what dpo I am, it's as many as 4-5dpo. But confusingly I got another high LH result today and more stomach cramps on my right side which I also had on Saturday. So I don't know whether to trust the peak result I got on Saturday - maybe I didn't ovulate and now I have?! So dtd again this evening. My poor husband 😅

@CPHB2021 sending you a big hug x

@Plumchumm funnily enough I am coming down with something too, headache dizzy and queasy, I came home from work early and went to bed to sleep. Feeling a fair bit better now. It's annoying as those are also early pregnancy symptoms but I am far too early for those. So it I would say no symptoms as such yet!

@CPHB2021 Yeah. It’s thrown my cycle out this month by a week. I ovulated a week after predicted and I’m due my period next week which will be 5 weeks since my last.
I felt the same, I just wanted it to be done and go on to the next cycle. Weirdly I was pleased when I finished bleeding, despite being really bloody sad, and cried a lot, I felt positive to begin with this cycle. Now I just feel like I don’t have high hopes but we shall see.

@Plumchumm no symptoms really. Sharp pains right low down every so often and lightning crotch if I get up too quickly, moody. But who knows, could just be pms. I’m due next week so we shall see!

@Plumchumm hey ❤️ so I feel like every day since my potential ovulation day I’ve had symptoms and then today, on what I believe is either dpo 6 or 7, absolutely nothing at all. I’m not really sure what to think!

Hey, just jumping in here! I’m Ttc my second, my first is 5. Last time I stopped my minipill and was pregnant within two days when they dated it!! So we stopped the pill again last Saturday so I’m on day 11 since stopping, we have done the deed everyday since stopping it and I’ve got sore boobs and lots of cm (sorry) and veins on my boobs which I had last time but still BFN. I’m so impatient 🫠

@CPHB2021 hey there 😊were you tracking your ovulation? I guess with a chemical that must have been harder. Sorry that you are going through all this stress x

Something is definitely going on with me - either I am brewing a UTI or a pregnancy, or both. I am having the same pin prick stabbing pain in my groin that I had about a week before I tested positive with my son. However at the same time, I was also coming down with a horrid UTI and was on antibiotics as soon as I knew I was pregnant. So, I never worked out exactly what was causing the pain.

Not sure if this is at all helpful and it is making me feel even more confused with symptom spotting but at least it's something 😂

Thanks so much ladies. It’s so nice to have threads like this. Still no AF!! I feel really pregnant! I wasn’t tracking ovulation so I don’t know for sure when I ovulated this cycle but I used Flo, which has been good for me previously. We DTD every few days over the two fertile weeks they predicted on the app. I’ve got some more cheap strip tests coming in the post so will do one tonight, even though I know it’ll be BFN!

@CPHB2021 good luck ❤

I don’t know why I thought doing a test at 7dpo, I’d see anything😂🤦🏽‍♀️ had to scratch the itch!

@Bubs94 this made me chuckle, I was just in the toilet doing one too. No idea what I expected at a maximum of 6dpo 😅

I think I just love testing lol! Addicted.

It is so addictive isn’t it!! Last cycle I didn’t get symptoms until 12dpo but I’ve been feeling soooo off today but I have colitis so might be that…or pms. Who knows at this point😂

@Bubs94 yep I remember last time for me, looking at my flo data, I was getting symptoms around 12/13dpo and that was my first positive test. Obviously a good week off that! I feel really off too but my son has a bug, so I think I'm probably just coming down with that. Or I keep telling myself anyway. Probably won't stop me doing another one tomorrow haha!

Ok as predicted! BFN! Why won’t I just hurry up and bleed! 😩🙈 you go from not wanting AF, to wishing it would just get on with it! Xx
