Hello Smile

Thought I would start a new TWW thread for those of us just entering, or soon to be entering, the TWW

I’ve been TTC#2 for 12 months now (DS was 1st cycle no trying required) and really need some positivity that things will get there for us soon.

What has everyone been trying to get their sticky BFP?

This cycle we have given ConceivePlus fertility Lube a go along with Seven Seas Trying for a Baby pills.

I have also said “sod it” and gone back to eating whatever I fancy, having a beer when I fancy it but have cut down to only two coffees a day.

Good luck to us all Star

(also any of the original TTCers from the Nutters thread still on this board?)

@Starry1234 I swear we're cycle twins I've been exactly the same I had such a dull ache in my lower back one day, and same clear watery discharge the last few days! I was on dianette for the last 18 months but before that was microgynon, I'd be really shocked if I was as I didn't expect it to happen straight away, just trying to get to know my body again, will let you know how I get on in the morning! Got everything crossed for you! This is my first time trying and will be baby no1 so I've no idea about anything 😂 who knew it was so difficult! X

Starry1234 · 31/10/2018 23:00

@MrsP4 I've had the same. Cramping on and off for the past week or so. I had awful lower back pain one day too and then the Saturday just gone I had bad cramps. My discharge has been very watery these past two days too which is weird. Its all new to me too. I think if I don't get bfp this month I'm not even going to bother trying. Just let nature do its thing. With my first i just dtd every other night and it worked straight away but can't remember any symptoms before my missed af. I'm praying it's not. I was on lucette, what were you on?

MrsP4 · 31/10/2018 22:54

@Starry1234 yes had cramps on an off they come and go over the last week, I've been on the pill for 10 years so this is all new to me 😂 one of my friends in work is pregnant and I've messaged her she said she had a brown stain and a week later she got BFP I think aslong as I don't get anymore I think I could well be in with a chance, could just be the start of AF but will test again in the morning and see, what pill was you on?

Starry1234 · 31/10/2018 22:42

You had cramps a few days ago though didn't you? It could well be implanting. I hope it is. I've had no other signs so I'm not holding out. I would test again tomorrow if no sign of af. When I came off the pill Beginng of September I had terrible ovulation pain. But I'd been on BC for 7byears so I thibk it's pretty normal. I then started with what you had but no pms or cramping. Later that day af fully arrived and I was heavy which is unusual for me and it lasted 4 days. Usually 5 before BC and bad cramps at least a day before. I always knew when af was coming. This month I got opks to really track when and if I was ovulating as I was desperate to know. So I've clessed my last period as my actual one. And praying I caught the egg this month. Any way I got my peak bang on and had awful cramps and pains on one side for my whole fertile week. If you don't catch on this month it might be worth a try getting some opks as this would be your first proper cycle so to speak. Everyone is different though. My friend caught on a week after coming of the pill with her second but it took 5 months to conceive her first born. Just keep your hopes up. Keep positive. I'd test tomorrow but then not again until af is due if its a bfn

MrsP4 · 31/10/2018 22:31

@Starry1234 yes I had a withdrawal bleed I'm currently on CD26 now I'm not sure if my cycle will be 28 days as it's my first month off the pill but if I ovulated around CD 15-17 that would mean I'm more due AF Sunday or Monday I guess, and no it wasn't snotty at all just looked like normal but was brown 🙈

Starry1234 · 31/10/2018 22:16

@MrsP4 I'm not sure what to say on it but sounds strange. Like you said it could just be your body getting back to a normal cycle. Did you have a withdrawal bleed when coming off BC? If not implantation I'm guessing it could possibly be a surge of hormone that's causing your symptoms. Sorry to ask but was the brown stuff snotty?

MrsP4 · 31/10/2018 21:51

Help please girls! I done a test this morning and it was a BFN however AF not due until Saturday, not 100% sure when I ovulated could of been between the 21st and 23rd, just come off the pill so body's a bit all over the place don't know how long my cycle is etc but I got a positive OPK on the 21st anyway.... been getting a few PMS today like headache, cramping etc and I just went to have a bath and noticed that I've been spotting a tiny bit I think it was dark brown in colour I can't be 100% sure as I had dark grey knickers on but I never usually get any PMS until I'm actually on but not due till Saturday, could this be anything to do with implantation? I've wiped with a tissue and there's nothing there, I know for a fact if I had come on it would be heavy straight away, help I'm confused and nervous haha! I know could still be nothing but can anyone shed some light? Sorry if it's a bit TMI 🙈

Pickingflowers · 31/10/2018 21:19

Fx for you tomorrow morning @Crazydreamer 🙂
I can't wait for AF to be over and start again for cycle 3. Argh why do I wish time away so much?!

MrsP4 · 31/10/2018 13:18

@Crazydreamer yeah it's really hard to see that one line I know I'm now out yet as AF due Saturday and I'm currently I think 10-11DPO but cycle is up the wall due to first month off the pill so I'm just guessing really, I know implantation can still happen or be happening so still trying to remain positive and like you said the fat lady hasn't sung yet 😂 FX for all of us! Xx

TwittleBee · 31/10/2018 12:53

pinkstar01 no clue what to suggest, that test looks and sounds a bit confusing! Might be worth nipping out and getting a more sensitive test and test first thing tomorrow! FX

Crazydreamer Hoping AF keeps away!

Crazydreamer · 31/10/2018 12:40

@twittlebee I know I'm not out quite yet, and was just a cheap test I used, if af doesn't arrive today I'll get a decent one and test 2moro.xxx

Crazydreamer · 31/10/2018 12:37

@MrsP4 sorry to hear about ur bfn too, it's so hard to see that eh, my af was due yesterday, still not shown up yet and haven't really had any signs it's on its way, just hate getting my hopes up. Just want to know one way or the other now so I can just relax lol xxx will have my fx for u too xx

pinkstar01 · 31/10/2018 11:51

So AF is due either tomorrow or Friday for me and since I couldn't wait any more I just ended up doing a test on a spare SuperDrug test I had..I knew it was stupid because it wasn't FMU and the tests sensitivity is only 20mu but I couldn't help myself!
ANYWAYS I ended up getting a very clear evap line during the 3 mins and now I'm confused!! I did the same test about a week ago and there was no evap nothing at all.
I still have my last FRER left which I'm saving for possibly tomorrow morning!
Here it is attached, what do you think ladies? Anyone had this within the time period?

Another TWW - BFP at the end for us please!
OctoberGirl91 · 31/10/2018 10:22

I can't really remember checking it apart from when I knew baby had gone 🙁

It hasn't dropped at any point and haven't had a period since Late July so can't remember before! I need to be patient and wait it out, I got my late positive 12 DPO so I'm going try hang off till a week today to test I've got my FRER ready and waiting , will keep thread updated.

Congratulations @TwittleBee on your BFP xx

TwittleBee · 31/10/2018 10:09

I checked cervical position OctoberGirl91 (my cervix is pretty low since childbirth) and I thought I was well and truly out as when I checked morning of 11dpo I could feel it was low and slightly open, typical sign AF is on her way. Prior that my cervix was reasonably high and closed (again typical during the TWW) but then 12dpo, day of BFP, it was certainly high and closed!

OP posts:
OctoberGirl91 · 31/10/2018 10:05

Does anyone check cervical position I'm 5DPO and cervix is still high, I can barely feel, got a slight bit of creamy CM and had cramping since ovulation although pinching sensation last night, intermittently having sharp pain in my boobs and they are still veiny that could be because of the MC although I'm not sure.

I know would be too early for implantation think it's wishful thinking after my MC on 4th Oct.

Dreaded TWW 😒

Frillyfarmer · 31/10/2018 09:52

God I'm so confused with my bloody cycle.

TTC#2, #1 is 14 months and still BF on an evening. My periods were clockwork at 31day cycle, and then AF arrives last night, day 16, in the middle of my ovulation week.

I don't know how to call it now? It's going to be one of those months where DH is jumped upon each evening?

Starry1234 · 31/10/2018 09:44

@MrsP4 oh god really!? I'm not liking the sound of that. I'm going to be really good and not test untill Sunday if af not here. I have no sign of af orrr pregnancy 😩😩 driving my self mad this morning for some reason.

MrsP4 · 31/10/2018 09:34

@Starry1234 I think it's pretty normal anyway but does say on google that can be a sign of EP but then so can everything 🙈 hope you get your BFP I will probably test again Sunday if AF still hasn't arrived I just feel like she's on her way though wicked witch!

MrsP4 · 31/10/2018 09:21

@Starry1234 yes I've had that the last couple of days and yes I used a FRER, thanks @TwittleBee I've just bought some one step ovulation strips from amazon and conceive plus to try next month

Starry1234 · 31/10/2018 08:58

Sorry for tmi 🙈but is anyone experiencing clear watery discharge?

TwittleBee · 31/10/2018 08:52

Dont be disheartened ladies by BFNs! I didnt get one on a FRER till day before my AF was due (so 12dpo!) Keeping my FX for you all. Really wanna see some of you join me over on the July antenatal thread

Starry1234 · 31/10/2018 08:46

MrsP4 · 31/10/2018 08:38
