TWW is sooooo hard!

By Emilia80 Mar 5, 2015

So, today is 8dpo for me and I'm trying with every force of my body not to symptom spot but boy oh boy it's friggen hard! Never thought I'd be one of those obsessed, ha!
I caved yesterday and poas bc frankly I just couldn't Resist anymore. So that put me only 7dpo, I know I know stupid me and serves me right bc it was massive stark white BFN. it's only my 2nd cycle ttc but never anticipated how stressful the TWW or ttc process can be. I lift my hats off to all those women who have been trying endlessly, u have some strong willpower!

I know they say anything before 10dpo is super early. I hope I'm not out yet this month, still holding on to hope.

Sending BFP to all of us waiting.

@wrkbrk: thank u. Right back at u. Hope we both get our BFP this month.
Well my symptoms are starting to fade, except today am getting bad bloatness and my bbs are double in size ( but this happened once before so could just be AF).
Yesterday was feeling gassy, but could be the herbalife shakes I just started lol
Few days ago had heartburn for 2 days and I know that doesn't usually happen until later in pregnancy but have read it can happen in early too.
Ughhhhh all these symptoms. I must stop I must stop.

Reading others getting their bfp they said that they had a lot of CM which I don't. After O I completely dry up so that makes me think I'm not preggo.

I am in the same boat. Second cycle off bcp, no O the first cycle and it was sooo long, 41 days. Then I O'd this cycle on cd 10ish (positive opk) and am now only 3 dpo. Two weeks seems like an eternity.
Good luck!

@peaches1038: congratulations that's exciting news, so happy for you. Baby dust coming your way.

@stiletto_mom: same! Tested 7 &9dpo and both bfn, feeling so gutted. I know AF is on her way. I felt cra pt and bloated bad yesterday. Just not looking forward to her arrival

@MrsHansen82: thanks, I hope I'm still in this month. I will wait now for AF before I test again, but am pretty sure this month I'm out. But at least I know CM is not really an indicator of bfp.

@Swoggette: goodluck, hope u get your bfp. Keep us updated

@emilia80 will do thank you. I am symptom spotting now even though I told myself I wouldnt. I suppose it's our nature to be more in tune with ourselves when ttc. For sure I am sooo exhausted, I hit a patch last cycle like this too. Where I can barely function by the end of the day. I assume its hormones regulating after many years of bcp. Will see

@Swoggette: when will u test?? AF still hasn't arrived and I'm so gassy it's really bad. I feel no AF symptoms.
Can't wait for u to test. Keeping everything crossed for u.

@emilia80 I hope AF stays far far away. From all that I have read there are some ladies who implant late and don't get their bfp until later. I am really hoping this is the case for you. Its hard to not stress about it once you decide to actively try.

I think I will test at the earliest Sunday. I will be 10 dpo at that point. Likely a bit early but its worth a shot.
I didn't ovulate my first cycle off bcp I am pretty positive and had a 41 day cycle. Then this cycle was a whole different ball game. Before bcp I did nfp and knew what was up with my body through the month and this cycle feels like that. Somewhat renormalizing. But I will definitely keep you posted! And the same with you! Will you test again? Or wait a couple days to see if AF rears her ugly head?

@Swoggette: thanks Hun. I wish that would happen in. Y case but I'm starting to feel some slight AF symptoms. I'm sure now it will come any time today.

Yeah hold out until 10dpo if u can. Nothing worse than seeing a bfn, so the less u test the more hope u have to hold onto. I'm praying for u. I really hope this cycle is yours.

No I won't test anyou're. If AF doesn't arrive by the weekend then I will. But am pretty sure I'm out this month.

Hiiii! Can I join? I'm in the TWW as well. If I ovulated when my OPK said I would, then I should be about 5-6dpo. Not noticing any symptoms except some very slight cramping. Idk if I would even call it cramping as it doesn't hurt or anything just kind of a pulling feeling..

Oh I'm also new here just signed up

@emilia80 it is Ovia Fertility. I love that it is user friendly and pretty. I like pretty apps. Lol. I was able to load all my periods that I had already tracked on just a period tracker app and it averages them. So since ttc I have added in bding days, opk results, cm, etc. I am really happy with it.

@shannonrenee0201 Of course you can join!! Welcome to the convo. You are around the same dpo as I am . I am 7 dpo today.
