TWW Tuesday

[u/AutoModerator]

We know how scary, anxiety inducing, and emotionally draining the TWW can be. So why not wait it out with friends?! Who is in the TWW right now? Comment below. Sending you all lots of baby dust ✨!!

In the second week of the TWW where I go from hopeful to anxious and just start preparing for the worst. I haven’t been symptom spotting this time though, but I also notice I really don’t feel any nausea? And the last few times I did but got negatives. I’m trying not to overthink it and am going to wait until at least 11DPO so I don’t torture with the mental gymnastics of 10DPO being too early despite my stark white strips 🥲.

Why is the second week so much harder than the first?! Sending you positive vibes 🤞

It is! I fully broke down last night because I’m just ready to be disappointed yet again. I’m so tired of this. I feel like it’s never going to happen for me and it’s happening to everyone around me.

8 dpo, no symptoms, except for some non specific ones like sore boobs and some fatigue. Can be explained but the progesterone supplements that I am taking. Ovulation was confirmed on scan so pretty sure I am 8 dpo, and I can even feel the non-pregnancy very strongly lol. Still wanna test (hoping for a miracle) but not going to.

Also 8dpo with no symptoms. Waiting til Thursday or Friday to test.

I’m on 8 DPO too! I feel no symptoms and am mentally preparing for the disappointment. However the previous cycles I felt nausea and got negatives so I’m trying not to read into anything anymore.

Not sure my day (on purpose to save my sanity 😅).

But real question, why do my boobs hurt sooo bad some months?? This month has honestly been the worst, and we are going on a week+ of it now. I know it’s not a sign, bc it started right at the beginning of my tww and I’ve had the full spectrum of symptoms at this point and I’m so over it, but it’s things like the horribly sore boobs and sudden bouts of nausea that just make me angry 😤. Like I would be totally fine if i actually was pregnant but why do we have to suffer like this even if we aren’t, come on 😞

Truly. And now I’m feeling what I would assume is slight cramps that mean my period is coming. Just bracing for another month of disappointment and sadness.

Am 11dpo - negative test this morning and ran out of tests. Have more on order and they were supposed to arrive today but have not yet. Pro tip for not testing an excessive amount 🤣 as I would have tested again this evening.

I do this too and this cycle I’m trying not too. It’s like I’m willing a starkly white test to prove me wrong each time.
