Longtime lurker, first time poster! (Sorry if I missed it but didn’t see in the rules how to add a flair?)

Even as a lurker just wanted to express gratitude for these threads. It helps me feel a lot less alone, especially since there isn’t really anyone in my life I feel comfortable confiding to about TTC for a second. (Other than my husband.)

I’m in the last few days of the TWW and the depressed mood is hitting hard today. I’m having such a hard time focusing on work and getting things done. Usually work is a good distraction from the symptom spotting but today some people I work with are being very unreasonable with their feedback, sigh. I’m instead getting distracted by my own internal debates on getting my partner and myself checked out/getting our fertility assessed, if I should just take an early test to end this symptom spotting, if it’s worth it to order another set of LH test strips. I keep trying to remind myself one day at a time is all
I can do.

Where is everyone today?! 🤣 miss reading what everyone is up to! I’m spotting on 16dpo and so glad my period is finally on the way bc I HATE these long luteal phases. Knowing I’m not pregnant and still having to wait 3 or 4 days for a new cycle is torture lol

I kinda felt the same way but I have a nasty head cold and couldn't think straight long enough to write something coherent and/or interesting 🤣

I'm 5DPO tomorrow, 2nd cycle post CP and ovulation was later than usual but 5 days earlier than last cycle so I hope we're getting back to normal range. Still missing my April 2027 baby 😢

We only have one cycle after this one before we most likely stop until next summer for a multitude of reasons. I'm super sick right now so not feeling too hopeful about chances but we gave it our best shot!

Lol stop I literally waited until the end of the day bc I wasn’t sure if I had anything interesting to say either 🤣 had to make sure I was actually spotting lmfao. Hope your head cold passes soon!!

Ugh chemicals are the worst I’m so sorry ❤️‍🩹 and the unpredictability with the cycles afterwards too is so frustrating! Like way to kick me when I’m down.
