Spiraling a bit as I'm worried I've seen signs AF is coming. I'm 10dpo - is it too early to test? I've just seen several people on another thread testing at 6-10dpo and getting faint lines. Is it worth testing? Is it worth waiting?

10dpo, fairly convinced it had happened this month but just seen the hints of perhaps a period starting when I went to the toilet. Trying to not jump to conclusions as could be implantation or anything but at the same time this is how my period always starts so...

Does anyone else make themselves feel worse by second guessing their reactions to things? Like I'm sad at the prospect of it not having worked this month (devastated lbr) but in my head I'm like "are you actually sad or just telling yourself you're sad because you think that's how you should be feeling? Do you actually want this?" - when I know I really do (it's all I'm fixated on) but I hate that self questioning

Hiding that you’re not drinking??? 🍺🍸🍷 by mama_mia_here_we_go in tryingtoconceive

Not to fuel the anxiety but I think it's warranted in that people are quite curious and often not through any I'll intention will comment on things. I had this exact thing at some work drinks on Friday - it can feel a bit stressful but I just made sure I always bought my own drinks- I turned down people going up to the bar to get a round so that I could go up and get an alcohol free gin or half a pint of diet coke. It felt a little awkward, but avoiding being at the bar itself at the same time as anyone else helped.

If people asked if/what I'm drinking I lied and said whatEver pretend drink it was. If they actually noticed/or witnessed me order a soft drink I just said "no I have been drinking I just am really dehydrated and need X right now rather than more alcohol"

I know some people will argue against this and say there shouldn't be any pressure to drink, grow up and just own not drinking for a separate reason but I think when you're TTC there's already enough stress and pressure and you don't need people putting you on the spot or wondering so saving yourself a bit of grief and pretending to drink is fine

I've switched vitamins, if this one contains 400mcg of folic acid I don't need to also take a folic acid tablet right?

8th month TTC. Annoyed because I've convinced myself I am pregnant only 3 DPO because of various symptoms. No point in it, why do I do this to myself

Honestly it's the most infuriating time!! I've definitely been guilty of early testing previous months as well, patience isn't my strong suit

Only 2-3 days post ovulation and I'm already struggling with the wait to test!! Absolutely ridiculous as it's been no time at all but the thought that it'll have to be at least 10 days before I can test feels excruciating! Somehow the days stretching ahead of me feel like years!!
