TWW feels like forever

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?

@SKLM the thing that’s throwing me off is the nausea I’m getting in the mornings, I had awful nausea with my daughter for 20 weeks nearly but surely if I’m nauseated I should be able to get a positive ??

SKLM · 25/12/2025 07:31

Hi everyone, guess I'll be seeing you in a few weeks. I missed my period and the tests got stronger but I started bleeding yesterday, think it's an early loss x

Bassbeh17 · 25/12/2025 18:35

@SKLM oh no I’m sorry to hear that, hopefully you’ll get an appointment and some clarity soon. X

JustAboutMuddlingThrough · 25/12/2025 19:09

I came on two days early ffs!

Bassbeh17 · 25/12/2025 20:06

I still haven’t come on! Stopped my pill on 29th Nov so 27 days ago so I’m expecting something soon! Some sort of signal would be appreciated 😂

SKLM · 26/12/2025 11:15

@JustAboutMuddlingThrough ah man, that's annoying!

It all feels worse at Christmas time doesn't it.

@Bassbeh17 do you have any signs a period might be on the way like cramping or pms?

I'm still bleeding here. It's not like my period so it's messing with my head. It's bleeding but lighter in flow, no clots, not dark red. One of my friends said maybe it's an implantation bleed but tbh I am too scared to test again.

Bassbeh17 · 26/12/2025 13:04

@SKLM Christmas here has been an entire family drama so it would’ve been nice to have some happy news 😅

I have literally no signs like nothing! No cramping or bleeding or anything. Still getting the nausea sometimes and last night I had a weird funny turn I went all pale and thought I was gonna pass out. Only lasted a few minutes but not normal
for me at all! I’ve tested way too many times and it’s negative every time but no period either so I’m just gonna keep dtd regularly and hopefully it’ll catch 🤞🏼

Bassbeh17 · 27/12/2025 19:06

@SKLM have you checked what’s happening?

Bubs94 · 27/12/2025 19:13

I’m getting really inpatient waiting for ovulation! My app predicts 26th-30th with ovulation on 31st but my readings are still soooooo low! Just want to be in the two week wait already. ALSO my husband isn’t very well which ladies, you know how much of an inconvenience that is because I need to baby dance as much as possible right now😂😂

OP posts:
Bassbeh17 · 27/12/2025 19:47

@Bubs94 hope he’s better soon! My husband is in a foul mood due to family drama on his side over Christmas so I’m also not gonna be dtd as much as required!!

I am having twinging cramps today and my
abdomen feels inflamed (I do have ibs so it’s hard to differentiate sometimes) I had a teeny tiny bit of blood when I wiped earlier, like if you blinked you’d have missed it! So now don’t know if that’s implantation or I’m gonna get a period!

im so confused!

SKLM · 27/12/2025 19:49

@Bubs94 oh no I hope he feels better soon, he has an important job to do 😆give him all the medicines!

@Bassbeh17 no I haven't been to see anyone what with it being Christmas and all. I feel like I must be having a chemical pregnancy - I've been having light bleeding for 3 days now but it has got more heavy. Not as bad as my period. Still getting faint tests, they're not any darker than the one I shared. I'm going to do another test in a few days and if the bleeding doesn't settle I'll go to the GP x

Plumchumm · 27/12/2025 19:54

My fertile window is also meant to be over new year but who knows. I’ve been fighting off thrush, had it last month and it keeps threatening to come back. The joys! We will be at my dads house over NY though so I don’t know how baby dancing is going to happen

Bassbeh17 · 27/12/2025 20:47

Sounds like baby dancing is difficult for everyone! I just went to the loo again and there was a tiny speck of blood again.
could this be implantation 🫣🤞🏼 I’m scared to get my hopes up as I’ve not had a period but it’s exactly 4 weeks off my pill today!!
Ive got tests in the house but I don’t want to keep taking them as I keep getting disappointed 😞

Bassbeh17 · 27/12/2025 20:47

@SKLM Im sorry to hear your bleeding got heavier. Hopefully you’ll get some clarity soon x

Bassbeh17 · 28/12/2025 03:06

Do I have line eyes? Looking at the top one! After the two tiny bits of blood I just couldn’t sleep, finally got a few hours and woke at 2:30 needing a wee which is odd for me so tested and got a partial faint line on the first one (top) then nothing on the other two! Super cheap tests but thought I’d try 😅 I’m scared to be excited 😬

TWW feels like forever
SKLM · 28/12/2025 08:55

@Bassbeh17 I'm not sure I can see anything on the top two - could you do some more of the strip tests this morning? Crossing fingers for you :)

Bassbeh17 · 28/12/2025 08:57

@SKLM it was only the very top one I could see the slightest thing on but might be a faulty test. I’m gonna wait til tomorrow and try again. I’m just so impatient and I think the family drama going on around me is making me focus on this more 😅

Bassbeh17 · 28/12/2025 16:01

I’m like 99% sure my periods coming so I’ll be joining you all in driving ourselves mad in January x

SKLM · 28/12/2025 19:34

@Bassbeh17 hey that's good news if you think your period is coming, at least that gives you a starting point for tracking and baby dancing. A bit less uncertainty! 😀

Plumchumm · 28/12/2025 20:26

Had a scan today and looks like I am on track for ovulating on 1st of January. Great!... I'm going to be at my dad's 😂here's hoping we can find some private time.

Bassbeh17 · 28/12/2025 20:44

@Plumchumm keeping fingers crossed 🤞🏼 you can sneak off for a bit!!

I was absolutely convinced as when I wiped I had a small bit of pale pink blood, now nothing!! Went to the panto tonight all prepped for it and not a drop! Now I’m even more confused than I was before 😂😂

SKLM · 28/12/2025 21:12

@Plumchumm make some excuses and get some time to yourself 😁

@Bassbeh17 oh how annoying! Hopefully it will arrive soon. You definitely need some peace of mind after all this waiting x

Bassbeh17 · 29/12/2025 18:16

@SKLM its starting properly now, well less than I’m used to but definitely happening. I’m relieved tbh as now I’ll be able to time anything, hopefully next month I’ll catch 🤞🏼

Bubs94 · 29/12/2025 20:13

I’m CD15 apparently going to ovulate Wednesday but LH isn’t rising yet and not close to peak. So frustrating

CPHB2021 · 29/12/2025 20:15

I still haven’t had AF! God only knows what’s going on with my cycle. Would you go to the dr? My first cycle since my DS was 6/11/25 and we started TTC straightaway, I had four BFP and they turned to BFN and now nothing. No AF, no BFP?! Xx
