TWW feels like forever #2

[SKLM]

For anyone posting in the previous thread, or who would like to join!

@pandalife @bubs94 @DmcinT

And others!

@SKLM @Bubs94 nice to have each other at the same stage. Could be nothing to it but I have heard cold/flu like symptoms can be an implantation sign (just because body is focusing on something else so immune system is down)

@PandaLife we might be around the same stage? I’m due to ovulate end of next week (Fri/Sat) I really want to forget about the opks/ tracking everything too and just dtd every second day from say Wednesday until Sunday or so but then part of me is like this is the last cycle so give it a good shot and know exactly when surge is 🫣 I’m not sure, I kinda dread fertile week now.. isn’t that awful!

I’m not early testing this cycle (if I can), that gave me too much hope and excitement last week. Made the disappointment worse when af appeared.

@ThisHangryTiger I was the same with weight for the first 6/7 months, didn’t really care as priority was ttc but that’s kinda flipped now as I’ve actually over a stone on and just feel so uncomfortable. Nothing fits etc so I’m making it a priority and after this cycle I am ramping it up with gym, putting a focus on shifting this weight.

@ThisHangryTiger totally feel for you on the weight front btw. TTC has made me comfort eat for Britain. I am very active, go to gym jog and walk a fair bit in my job but my eating has gone to pot. Definitely have some weight to lose x

@DmcinT @SKLM I guess we can only do our best and sometimes we need to concentrate on some things more than others. TTC definitely takes up more head space than I initially envisaged, and I think even when we're not actively thinking about it, there's always a something in the back of our mind. We all need to be kind to ourselves, it's a tough process.

Hey ladies, I learnt something new today which I was quite shocked at. Taking NSAIDs (ibuprofen and other anti-inflammatory) can prevent ovulation as it stops the follicle from rupturing. I never knew that. Thankfully I rarely take ibuprofen but I occasionally get migraines and do take it for then if I need it, so at least now I know to avoid it. Apparently the only safe time to take them is during our periods.

Hey everyone.

What dpo is everyone? How is everyone feeling?

I'm 8/9dpo today, allegedly 😂. Usually by now I have pretty noticeable stomach cramps leading up to my period. I don't have these at all. So I am worried maybe I didn't ovulate. I'm mentally exhausted from the LH testing this month - not going to do any more, just going to wait and see what happens.

I hope everyone has a nice weekend 😀

I find the stomach cramping for those last 7 days or so the weirdest part of my cycle! Like what are you doing in there, it’s too early for a period, are you just having a little reorganisation?! 😅

I think I’m 12dpo - realised the only tests I’ve got in aren’t the 10Miu ones, but 25miu so managed to hold off testing today - going to try and wait until Monday. Obviously reading into every tiny thing - had a couple of small waves of nausea today - I think because I’ve been rushing around and too hot - but obviously I’m using that to get my hopes up. Maybe I’ll test tomorrow just to give myself the reality check.

Feeling a bit down about it - we’re waiting on some other - unrelated - medical tests which could make us eligible for a few rounds of IVF. I don’t think we’d use them unless we also continued to not conceive - but my BMI is too high to be eligible and I’m really beating myself up about it - whilst continuing to comfort eat 🙄

@TurtleGroove bless you... I hope you are okay.

So.. can anyone see anything? Pretty sure I am going mad, as usual.

On the first pic I think I see something, but can’t see it on the second so don’t know if I have line eyes @SKLM

@Lookingtogrowthefamily yep I have total line eyes now, I am seeing lines everywhere 😫

Every month I say it. Don't test early! Then I crack open the easy at homes like a cheap Chardonnay on a Friday night

It looks like there could be one in that pic too, but because I know where the line would be I’m staring straight at it. Don’t want to get any hopes up either! I am keeping everything crossed for you xx

@SKLM similar I think I see something where the line should be in the first one but can’t see it in the second 🤷🏼‍♀️ I know I deff have line eyes, I’m nearly convinced I see them on every test I do 😅🫣 I’m really gona try not test early this cycle (my track record isn’t good thou😂)

I’m 9dpo today @SKLM and negative for me but feel like I’m going to come on any minute but due on on Tuesday apparently🤷🏻‍♀️

@Bubs94 I don't have any cramps but I have this sort of fullness in my abdomen in the last hour so I wouldn't be surprised if my period showed up, having had no symptoms up to this point. Like you not due on yet. Another tww sent to try us x

@SKLM unfortunately they both look negative to me @Bubs94 I’m also due on Tuesday my tests have been negative so definitely out this month

@SKLM yeah, I’ve not had my usual super sore pms nipples, but just had some twinges/dull pulling and heaviness in my lower tummy which feels like my period is coming but we shall see. I’ve told myself I’m not going to test now until Monday but we shall see x

@SKLM I can’t say whether there is a line or not :/ as the others have said, I see something if I look hard enough .. but then doubt myself 🙈 I’ll patiently wait for tomorrows sticks :D

I am due to enter my fertile window on Monday. We’ll see what this month brings 🤞🏼

Morning all, 9 dpo today and always knew I would test as it's the weekend and just seems easier. Obviously a BFN, but last night I was having such vivid dreams of a positive that it seems an even bigger blow to not get the result. AF is due tomorrow so we will soon see I guess. Still got fingers and toes crossed.

Morning ladies. 10dpo today. Did a test but wasn’t sure if I saw something or just had line eyes. I’m still so Crampy and have an achy lower back this morning, same as last night. I ended up going to bed with a pad on thinking I was going to come on. Temp is still rising though so not really sure what’s going on. I’ve only ever got positives at 12dpo so we shall see

Crossing my fingers for all of us @Bubs94 @ThisHangryTiger and anyone else in the testing zone.

This is me this morning - what do you guys think? 😥what would I do without this thread!

@SKLM i do see the faintest line in the second pic, is this the same test at different times after testing? I’ve everything crossed for u 🤞🏽 how many dpo are u now?
im only CD 6, the days are going slow tbh, I ovulated around day 12 last cycle thou so be interesting to see whats in store this cycle, only a few days i suppose

I’ve just done a test as I suddenly feel really nauseous but unsure if it’s my headache making me feel this way but I swear I see a really faint line…what do you guys think?

@Bubs94 I feel like I am starting to see something on your test compared to yesterday? I only tested yesterday as I felt nauseous on and off too from the afternoon. Like that deep queasy feeling. I had it today when I woke up as well. Got none of my usual pre-period symptoms at all?

@DmcinT this test is from this morning so it's a different one. There is something faint there I think? Going to test again in the morning X

..or probably this afternoon knowing me!

Just done my last pregnancy test of the wonfo and this was my result…I also did a pink dye clear blue and couldn’t see anything?
