First time TTC; going crazy!

View Full Post

Hello all, I have found this site while going crazy during this two week wait. I am inexperienced with symptoms and waiting and what to expect...I would appreciate anyone's advice...

My LMP was 2/11, I'm sure I ovulated between 2/25-2/27...I began with breast heaviness & soreness on 2/28 which is unusual for me to start with that early before AF. And it as continued - still sore boobs/swollen. I have noticed I've been a little more tired; requiring a nap the other day and going to bed earlier. And finally, on 9 or 10 DPO, (yesterday) I started with some dull lower abd cramping/pressure on & off all day... I have tested the last couple days because I am so impatient!!!! And obviously BFN... I know it is too early... Does it sound like I may have a chance?? Maybe I'm making up these symptoms?? AF is due 3/11... and I'm thankful for working 12 hour shifts the next couple days to distract myself! Please advise!!!

Hey everybody... so I'm new here, as many of you on my fist TTC cycle, just can´t take out of my head the symptoms spotter (I think I´d never been so focused on what and how I felt each day of the TWW), so I would love to join you, I have so many questions, but I also want buddies to share with... just off the pill last month, had an O test on CD10 did my chores (hehe) and now I'm on DPO 12 (3 days left to count), and I'm prety sure I'm making up al my symptoms but I shure don´t want my AF to show up on saturday!!!

Thanks AshleyLauren

Who can be my cycle buddy? Currently on my CD17 and in transition from non-fertile to fertile. I am using Ovatel now. It boost my confidence when I see fern-like patterns, which indicates that I am indeed ovulating. We're trying for a couple of months now and hopefully, we can get a this cycle.

to everyone!!!

Hey ladies! Just checking in with not much to report. Today I'm CD19, and I think I may ovulate later than usual. I still have a lot of EWCM. They say you can O late after a loss, so I'm wondering if I will O 5 days late, since my AF was 5 days late due to the CP. If that is the case, I could O on CD21. That sounds so crazy when my cycles are usually 29 days on average.

Waiting is waiting I guess, so as long as my LP is long enough, I guess it really doesn't matter if I'm officially in my TWW or not. I think my banner says I'm 3dpo. I do hope that is true, and I'm just experiencing some EWCM for no reason!

Anything exciting going on with anyone else?

To Ashley and all my other fellow-waiters - Im 11 dpo today, all of my symptoms gone, just having a mild cold and coughing.
Pretty sure Im out for this month, which only makes me even more happy that I arranged that "fertility check-up meeting" on 27th this month...
Anyone close to testing or already tested?

Hey kejtblue! Maybe you aren't out yet! I know many ppl who never got symptoms at first! But it's good you have an appt. maybe that will give you some answers. I am 4 dpo so just playing the waiting game. Have been having period like cramps so idk what that's about. Anyways, hope everyone is doing good!

Hi Ladies,

im totally confused. as this is my first month TTC im unsure how long my cycle is etc as i have just come off the pill and expecting it to take a bit of settling down.
my 1st CDwas on 9th August and was only for 4 days. ive looked at the diary but because im unsure of my cycle length i have taken a OPK the last few days which keeps coming back invalid. do you know what this means?

when is the best time to do an OPK? i know its not a guarantee that you are O but gives you a rough idea. maybe its something that i may save to use once my cycle has settled down.

hows everyone else getting on? anyone on the TWW?
got everything crossed for you and sending lots of baby dust!!

Mammycool... So you must be on CD 12 now, which is when you should be starting to take your opk...sometimes earlier. But it shouldn't be invalid. Maybe you got a bad batch of tests. I think it is good that you are doing them to get an idea of when you might ovulate if you don't already, so that you can plan to bd around that time. Good luck with that! I'm in my tww on 4 dpo. Just chillin. Haha. Well let me know how that goes!
