October 2018 Testing Thread

[Crumble]

I am 7DPO today but I am feeling a bit down in my mood and hope....I don't know why but I am struggling today to be positive and I am feeling as it will never gonna happen. I wish I am wrong and it is just my hormones, I wish the testing date will be here soon and put this waiting to an end lol.....is my 5th cycle but today I feel like is mine 2000nd.....I am ridiculous I know

I was the same last week Crumble, it’s a crappy part of the cycle I think. All the and hope is over and it’s the limbo between trying and testing. I couldn’t handle it his month you’ll get there though.

I got up, OH got up for work and I was still awake so figure I’ll nap when he leaves. Having some weird prickly pains, not sure what’s going on, feeling very anxious about this positive and if it will even stick.

Peed at 4am but forgot to save any. Just tried an ic there now and I’m sitting on the edge of the bed, too afraid to look. Surely it should show something by now?

Just checked, it’s a squinter but at least it’s a bit of progression, yesterday I couldn’t even say that!

Morning ladies.
It seems to be the 5th cycle for a few of us ladies.
I have a very good feeling that 5 is going to be our lucky number.
Vespa it must be so horrible having those feelings, you would think once we got our bfp there would be any worry but just seems to be so much and it’s so understandable because we just want to get to that 12 week scan. I have every faith that you are going to be just fine darling.
Crumble hope your ok hun, I always get like that around the same time after ov. xx

 

[Mystery26]

All updated to here ladies, I think I’ve caught again this month lol the boobs are a bit sore I’m hormonal and angry lmao and getting the same pulling tugging cramps as the last three times so i guess I’ll see in a week or so when I test

 

[Kitana]

Vespa, congrats!!! Don't worry too much! Your boobs get sore and less sore during pregnancy. I just checked my symptoms from last pregnancy and wrote down at 13dpo that my boobs were less sore, even during pregnancy I never had very sore boobs.
Have you got an appointment for a blood test soon?x

 

[baby.3]

Ugh, can’t sleep. Second night in a row I’ve woken at 4am

Keep worrying that my period is going to come, that the ic didn’t show a line, that my boobs don’t feel as sore as last time.

Will just try to get through the weekend. I’m off work until Monday so at least I can sleep in, if I ever get back to sleep!

Did you get your new phone Crumble?

I totally understand this vespa, I'm not sure at what point we really stop worrying? I keep saying once i get past 12wks, but we are all too aware that anything could happen at anytime. I suppose we just have to grin and bare the stress and worry, because it'll all be worth it in the end.

I am 7DPO today but I am feeling a bit down in my mood and hope....I don't know why but I am struggling today to be positive and I am feeling as it will never gonna happen.

Crumble, sorry to hear your feeling down This ttc malarky isn't fun in the slightest. As easy as it is to say, i really believe everyone has a chance to be a parent, whether they fall naturally, need help, or help a child in need of a loving home. It's just the waiting that is the killer! So much waiting!

Good luck to all those testing soon, and hoping ov comes round quick for those waiting to catch the egg

Morning ladies! It seems we can never switch off from the worry but can completely understand.
Crumble I was the same too - I think post ovulation is a bit of a mood dip for me I really notice it.
It’s my 5th cycle too.

I’m going to feel stupid saying this is in a few days I bet but I feel off. I had the massively dull achey radiating lower back pain - sides and hips. It radiated to pretty much my whole body by 10pm last night. I wouldn’t say I was in agony but I felt restless irritable and uncomfortable. I couldn’t switch off for the dull throbbing everywhere to get to sleep & I just felt emotional/ physically drained. This morning I’ve woke up with the dull ache gone but cramping - literally thought I’d got AF in the car on way to work. I’m due Monday. I am like this maybe the day before AF but not 5days. I’m also insanely touchy & moody. I do suffer PMS but I actually thought it was worse when I was on the pill. Funnily I felt exactly like this the month I was late - I had these aches and I was PMS crazy. I’ve also had some weird flushed cheeks. So much for trying to ignore my body!!!! Arghhh! Lol Any thoughts?!

Mandy if anything is out of the ordinary i would say its a good sign
I hope its your month x

 

[IVW]

Dull lower back ache is what i got the month i caught. I dont usually get it, but again like most symptoms can be a sign of the witches impending visit but i knew for me it wasnt something i usually get, so fx for you

 

[EmmaN27]

I’m getting ewcm today, so EPO and grapefruit juice must be working. OPK still negative this morning, will test again later. Hopefully ov isn’t too far away, CD11 today. Randomly had a couple of tiny specks of blood when I wiped, not sure what that’s about?! X

Wooo this is interesting Em.
Hoping ov is just around the corner for you
Them going to have a party when they see your ewcm

 

[Mandy123]

Interesting IVW I’m so mad at myself for letting it get to me but it’s pretty noticeable. Probably means it’s nothing if I notice it.

Good news Em!

You just never know - its all just a waiting and guessing game unfortunately

 

[Mandy123]

I know feel like I’m starting to loose the plot now so close yet so far to knowing lol

Don't agree with this Mandy, its definitely good when you notice symptoms that you don't normally get. Like IVW said it is just a waiting game but it isn't long before you will be testing so the wait is nearly over x

I wish my back ache could be attributed to something other than shear hell of back pain. Today's success is standing unassisted but still need help to get to the bathroom. This is making the tww even longer I swear to god

Oh Radley
Hope you start feeling better soon x

 

[EmmaN27]

All the waiting is the worst part of ttc, half of each cycle waiting for ov then other half waiting for AF or BFP! X

Yep. And now I have a chart which I was enjoying looking at until the temp started to go down a little. My temp taking times are a little erratic so maybe that's part of it too. Dunno.
Sorry, I'm a bit grumpy today. Also turns out my friend isn't doing as well as I thought so I'm worried about that too.
Blanket and movie day for me I think, well, quilt unless I can get downstairs

Looking forwards to news of BFPs

Sorry about your friend. I don’t think temping works properly unless you’re doing it around the same time each day x
