Hi all,
just want to say a big thank you to those who offered support in my TTC journey. I took a step back this month and actually ended up getting pregnant for the first time. (test last night and this morning)
When I was symptom spotting I came across old forums where people had listed their symptoms day by day up until positive pregnancy test. I know all bodies are different and a lot of people have completely different symptoms. But for any curious TTC buddies, I thought I would share my December TWW (where I really was convinced I must be pregnant) with my January TWW which led to a positive test. Please feel free to do the same with yours. Please also remember just because your symptoms might be different, doesn’t mean you’re not pregnant.

12 DPO big blob of creamy stretchy cm but it was also milk like. In the evening period like cramping began
13 DPO period like cramping, zero spotting, was convinced AF was going to come but instead just snot like cm, used a cheap blue dye test both came back positive right away.
14 DPO on and off cramping, really tired. Took a digital test and it is positive. Currently in bed shattered and wonder how I’ll cope for the next 9 months haha!
If this can be helpful to anyone in anyway I am glad.
and when I got pregnant a few months down the line he was delighted. Good luck to you whatever happens
Better luck next time!
i had a miscarriage in december. Everything seems ok we have had all checks, but i cant stop thinking about pregnancy. I somehow managed to distract myself a couple of months last year, stopped taking temp, folic acid etc and fell pregnant! So i definetely know stress is powerful! I just want to hide away from the world until i am pregnant again! Hate it. Feel a failure. Wish you could just switch your brain off certain topics!
I’ve been non stop thinking about this, AF is due next Tuesday and I’m telling myself I won’t be pregnant so I’m not disappointed but also doing things like working out what the due date would be if I was
