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?

Morning, how is everyone doing today?

I have woken up feeling very un-pregnant 😂not a single sign of anything hormonal, pms or otherwise. No cramps, twinges, boobs look and feel normal. Not sure what I am expecting at 7/8dpo!

@SKLM that’s probably a good thing!! I reckon that the month I get pregnant, I’ll have no symptoms - surely got to be the opposite of what I’ve been dealing with?? 😂

AF still hasn’t made an appearance. I wonder if ovulation happened later than I thought? Boobs are still achy and heavy, still got lower stomach cramping, still thirsty and the rage .. OMG I have been like a crazed maniac over the last couple of days. I’m so angry at everything which is unlike me. Just horrendously angry. I really wish my period would start now because I’m fed up of feeling like this :(

@SKLM i agree that it could be a good sign!! I’m hoping so as my symptoms are definitely dwindling too but im only 4dpo. Although the last couple of days have been so insane I couldn’t tell you much about anything but nothing overly noticable other than a bit of nausea after breakfast this morning which passed. Who knows!! I will keep hoping but I had no idea 🤷🏽‍♀️

Sending loads of positive vibes to everyone testing soon! I'm only on CD12 so waiting to get a positive opk so then I can enter my tww... ttc is so much bloody waiting 😂

I only had an 11 day luteal phase last month, which was nice in a sense that I didn't have to wait days for AF after my 11dpo BFN but it's also now made me panic it's not long enough and that's why I'm not getting pregnant. But will see how this month (cycle 6) goes....

Having the absolute worst heartburn again tonight. Whyyyy! I need to know something good is coming from this 🤣

@Bassbeh17 I can feel your desperation! Hang in there! This stupid two week wait. I feel so negative this evening, I just wish it didn't inevitably take up so much head space. My period is due next weekend that feels like a long long long way away to me...

Crampy and bloated here this evening. Thanks progesterone.

@MamaOooh nice to see you! 😀

Still no period here. I had quite a lot of mild lower pain yesterday, so thought it might show.. but nope. I haven’t had that heavy feeling yet either which I always get prior to starting and during the first day. Negative pregnancy test again this morning. God knows what’s happening :/ starting to think I’m broken 🙈🙈

@PandaLife bless you, you are deffo not broken. Perhaps you ovulated a few days later? I think cycles can vary up to 5-7 days, or so my Flo app says. It's so kind boggling when things like this happen especially when you just want your period to start so you can get on with the next cycle x

@SKLM its very frustrating. It’s actually been really emotional for me this month, I got quite upset this morning. I just don’t understand how my body can scream every symptom it possibly can at me, then my period not arrive when it’s due and not be pregnant. It’s exhausting. My boobs are SO painful at the minute too which I keep noticing, so they’re acting like a constant reminder of what’s happening. I just want my period to arrive so I can enjoy a couple of weeks of no symptoms, no planning and no thinking about it. My head needs a holiday!

@PandaLife do you have a rough idea of when you ovulated, and when was the last time you had sex? If you take into account ovulating a few days later and sperm lasting a few days is there a chance you could be pregnant? So sorry it has been such a rough month for you. I found last month pretty hard, sometimes it really gets to you xx

I thought I ovulated between the 28th-30th. Last noted sex (after fertile window I don’t doc it) was the 29th. But if ovulation happened later and within the 5 day lifespan of the sperm, I could go as far as the 3rd Feb which would still put me in the tww zone. Only just though. I think if that was the case, a pregnancy would still show on a test by now. I can’t remember when we had sex following the 29th.. I don’t think it’d have been close. My luteal symptoms started shortly after the estimated ovulation too.. I guess I just need to sit tight and wait :/

4dpo today. Not holding much hope for this cycle as only did it on peak day so we shall see. Where is everyone else in their cycle? X

I think I’m around 9dpo but not feeling at all hopeful this cycle as I never got a clear peak or any other ovulation symptoms.
The bright side is I spent half my TWW testing LH to see if I’d get another peak, and that really took my mind off of the wait 😅
I’ll probably start testing tomorrow but wonder if I’d be better just waiting until early next week and testing if my period hasn’t arrived.

7 or 8dpo here and driving myself mad overthinking everything!

Still no period here. Still no BFP although I haven’t tested this morning. I think tomorrow will be the last day I will test, if negative - which I highly suspect it will be, I will put the tests away and just wait and see what happens. I think if another week passes with nothing, I might speak to my gp. I know watch temperatures can’t be used accurately but I like to use it to give me a rough idea, but my temp is still sat high and hasn’t decreased yet. I still have the same symptoms. I wonder if stress has caused it? 🤷🏻‍♀️

@CauliflowerCheese00 if you’re anything like the rest of us, you’ll test tomorrow 😂

@SKLM when will you begin testing?

@CauliflowerCheese00 hey there, I am terrible for testing early.. I am 9dpo today and am trying hard not to start!

@PandaLife see above, the struggle begins 😂

11dpo SMU…what do we think, indent? Start of something? Nothing at all?!

@WonderfulSummer good morning 🌞 it could be an indent but it could also be the start of something! I really hope it is, crossing everything for you. How many dpo are you?

Well, I woke up crampy today, heartburn yday was insane! Had 3 sachets of gaviscon during the day 😅 been super tired, went to bed at 8:30 and woke at 7;30 today!! This morning I had a bit more cm after 24 hours of being uncomfortable and dry down there, when I wiped I had two little brown spots. Now, I’m going to try not to get excited but I’m hoping this is all a good thing! 7dpo today so a while to go before testing!

@WonderfulSummer i can see the line you are talking about but I wouldn’t know if it was a positive line or a an indent at this stage x keeping 🤞🏼

Thank you! I’m 11dpo. I’m leaning towards indent but will retest tomorrow and see.

@Bassbeh17 ooohh! I hope it is some sort of implantation sporting! How exciting! I know you don't want to get your hopes up, but that is a little bit exciting x

@Bassbeh17 I meant implantation spotting, not sporting. You don't need anyone playing sports down there!

I tested this morning (why do I do it). And it is negative.

I am talking myself out of every symptom I have. Nothing feels like it couldn't be attributed to PMS or the nasty cold I have.

I am getting cramping pains since yesterday, and the odd sharp twinge. My period is due in 8 days. But then again, I noticed last month in the tww I got a lot of cramps and also breast tenderness.

Sigh! 😂

@PandaLife any sign of your period yet? I hope you are okay x

@SKLM I mean 100% hoping it is but like you say it’s hard to have the crash after symptoms like this!
i tested yday and negative too so don’t worry you’re not the only one doing it 😅 my app says period due on Thursday as I had a shorter cycle last month so I will try and not test for a few more days especially now I know this is possibly implantation happening 🫣🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@WonderfulSummerI can definitely see something. Let us know how it looks tomorrow 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Bassbeh17 thats exciting. I’m sure you will test every day 😂 I tell myself I won’t test, then always give in.

@SKLM I first tested before it was even possible to detect pregnancy .. but I have zero self control sometimes 🙈

No signs of af coming. I am constantly crampy and have been for a while. I keep getting this weird bubble popping like feeling alongside the cramps too which is weird. Boobs still really ache. But absolutely nothing else. Just keeping myself busy. Oh and I’m absolutely starving all the time! My body is certainly putting me through my paces.
