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?

@DmcinT good luck 🤞🏻

@SKLM thanks

this morning… 🤷🏼‍♀️

@DmcinT what can you see in person? On the uploaded photo there is a grey spot where a line would form, are you getting something faint?

How many dpo are you? Sorry I'm losing track of everyone's dates 😀

@SKLM hope you’re doing ok? This period is kicking my butt!! In a way I’m glad because my last one lasted 3 days and was quite light so I’m hoping that means my cycle has returned properly 🤞🏼

@Bassbeh17 hey hey. Not so bad, bit confused, this period seems to have almost dried up after less than 48 hours, usually I bleed for heavily for 4-5 days at least. Maybe those supplements are making my periods better?! I wouldn't be complaining. Bodies are so confusing.

How are you doing?

@SKLM hmmm that’s interesting! What supplements are you on? If I don’t conceive this month I’d happily try something to lighten this!

I don’t remember ever having particularly heavy periods but this one is definitely on the heavier side for me, like I said, I’m taking it as a good sign. 🤞🏼

@SKLM @Bassbeh17 my period this cycle was only 4 days but the last little light bit on day 4 so only 3 full days really which is so odd because I’ve always had a 5 day cycle. The only thing I can think of that’s done it is the conceiving supplements I’ve been taking. I read on here th other day that it’s really made women’s cycles all out of whack and making them soooo long, so I’ve stopped taking them and going back to just taking folic acid daily

@Bubs94 what supplements were you taking? @Bassbeh17 I'm taking myo-inositol, folic acid.

My cycles were over 40 days long after having my son. They are back down to 31 ish days now which I'm putting down to the supplement as it's meant to help regulate ovarian function but tbh I know it can take a while for your cycle to settle after a baby so maybe it has just settled on its own.

@SKLM the Pregnacare conception ones. Heard they can disrupt your cycles. My cycles have been a week longer since my chemical beginning of November anyway but since I’ve taken them, yeah, my period was a day shorter and usually I have about 2 weeks before ovulation but I’ve already started getting ovulation pains and twinges only 4 days after my period ended which is really not normal for me and those are the only thing different. So odd

I can't see but my eyes suck! Did you do another one this morning @DmcinT ? Fingers crossed for you.

I'm 6dpo today and time is going so slowly. Like, the worst tww so far. I honestly think if I get a BFP this month it would be so perfect, my DHs birthday is this weekend so I could give him the test as a present. Due date would be in my favourite month (I'm a halloween/autumn gal). I feel like because I want it so much it defo won't happen this month 😂😖 Sorry to moan, hope everyone else is holding it together better than I am 😂

@MamaOooh fingers crossed for you. I’m the same and have been the same in some cycles. Last couple of cycles I really wanted it but it just didn’t happen. I feel more chilled this cycle and just going to go with the flow and just have sec every other day and yeah, see what happens really. I will be texting LH but that’s about it to be honest x

@MamaOooh I am the same as you, October is one of my favourite times of the year and I love Halloween! I’ve said for a long time that I wish I had a Halloween baby because I’d have an excuse to throw spooky parties every year lol 😂
Fingers crossed you get a positive this month 🤞🏼🤞🏼

I’ve seen a couple of things regarding pregnancy supplements delaying ovulation and extending cycles. I personally think anything that causes that much change shouldn’t be consumed. Surely it isn’t good? I’d like to do a bit more research in to what causes it.
I take methylated folate which is different to my usual supplements and it’s one I’ll continue taking when I get pregnant. Then fish oil, vitamin d and magnesium which I take at bedtime. I do like creatin but go through phases of having that.

Next week I’ll be entering in to my tww and should be able to test from around the 14th 😬

Just jumping in here, I got SO sick taking prenatal vitamins with my dd that when I spoke to gp about trying again he said don’t take them and did bloods to check my iron etc and they’re fine so he said don’t do it if they make you sick again.
I do have some pregnacare in the house so even if I take them every other day for the first few weeks just to put my mind at ease,

my period ended overnight yday so I’m officially back to the trying stage!! Told my husband to prepare that I’ll be annoying him 😂

Please can someone talk me out of testing tomorrow, I'll be 8dpo and I feel like if I don't POAS I will combust 😂

How is everybody feeling? Anyone testing soon?

@MamaOooh I mean test away if you are happy to brush off the result 😬🤷🏽‍♀️ I’m the same though I will test early 😂

@MamaOooh @Bassbeh17 I alllllways test early despite saying I won’t. Also what does poas mean?

@Bubs94 peeing on a stick 😂 well I hope it does or I’m using it wrong 🫣

I am counting down the days until I’m peeing on a stick. I have a better feeling about this month compared to last. I’m not sure why.. I haven’t even ovulated yet. We’ll see how I feel in a couple of weeks.

@PandaLife I’m day 5 and my period stopped last night and I am already thinking about poas 😂😂 I can’t continue on this mental spiral every month so I am praying this month is the one 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Early tester right here so no judgement from me if you want to test at 8dpo X

I am cycle day 5 here so some way off ovulation.. I really want to crack on!

@SKLM here we go again for our matching cycles!! See you in about a week for symptom spotting and maybe 2 weeks for poas 😂

@Bassbeh17 haha yep.. I will be here you can count on it! Think I'm ovulating a bit later than I realise though so think you might end up a few days ahead of me 😊

I have bought some pre mom pregnancy test strips and I am not allowing myself to buy anything more expensive!

@SKLM according to my strips I ovulated on day 13 last month but I’ve downloaded premom
app this month so I can save the strip photos and keep a closer eye! I’ve actually got 2 apps with the same data in them and one says ovulation is 4th and the other says 5th so gonna be interesting to see what my body says!! I don’t want to set myself up for a massive crash but I feel weirdly hopeful this time, like my body is ready in a way I can’t explain!

@Bassbeh17 hey that sounds so positive! I think deep down we know our bodies in some way, so I really hope this is your month!

I'm debating ditching the OPKs this month and going by CM and how my body feels....

@SKLM i did both last month but I think deep down I knew I’d not had a proper cycle and if you remember that extreme pain I had around ovulation I knew that wasn’t a good sign. Praying I don’t get that again!!!
