Is anyone just starting the TWW? I'm 1dpo and already counting down the days until I can test. Would love someone to keep me sane Halo

Is it normal to have really light spotting 2 dpo?x

EThreepwood · 01/09/2019 16:13

I am TTC #3 but with my 3 other pregnancies I knew I was. Wasn't really waiting for AF so I don't know if I'll get symptoms on the day of this time

AmyLouise · 31/08/2019 11:46

@justanothergurl I have DS that's just turned 2 but I didn't know I was pregnant until 6 weeks, so now trying for another and in finding it so hard 😕

Bumpingalong84 · 31/08/2019 10:32

I’m trying for number 2. I have a nearly 4yr old

HiItsClemFandango

Welcome. I don’t know anything about the implant and time for AF to return but hopefully your TTC process is short!

HiItsClemFandango · 31/08/2019 09:48

Hi everyone, is it ok if I join?

I'm TTC #1, had implant removed 2 weeks ago and AF due 12th September.

So glad to finally be able to join in on these threads

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 31/08/2019 09:31

I have a 5yo DD. She wasn’t planned so wasn’t symptom spotting but I knew I was pregnant before I took a test.

justanothergurl · 31/08/2019 09:23

Are you all TTC #1? I already have a 3 year old and from what I remember I didnt have any symptoms until I was 7 weeks along with him Confused it's sort of taking the fun out of things a bit!

Bumpingalong84 · 31/08/2019 04:12

Ahh we can all symptom spot together. Also nervous and excited. I think I’ll be testing around the 8th 🙈

Mrsccc · 30/08/2019 22:13

@Bumpingalong84 omg me too!! I'll literally be noticing everything now 🙈

EThreepwood · 30/08/2019 21:59

I'm due AF on the 10th too. I'm excited... And impatient! 😅

Bumpingalong84 · 30/08/2019 21:51

Ahh @Mrsccc I got my positive opk yesterday too!! So 1dpo tomorrow. I’m sure I’ll be symptom spotting like mad 🙊 good luck

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 30/08/2019 21:03

TWW is the worst part of the whole cycle!!

AmyLouise · 30/08/2019 20:12

Hope everyones okay, af still hasn't turned up for me but I tested and i got bfn, just going to wait a week to see if she shows up and if not I'll test again, this 2ww is driving me crazy 🙈

justanothergurl · 30/08/2019 19:38

Hello, can I join in please? Am expecting AF tonight or tomorrow, have the cramps and everything. Still can't stop myself from thinking I might get a bfp though. Does anyone else do this? I'm a nightmare Blush

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 30/08/2019 16:06

I don’t know much about temperature tracking. Any thoughts?

OK, so, after some frenzied research, it appears that around 2DPO-5DPO you can get something called a “Corpus Luteum Dip”. The Corpus Luteum takes over and you can get a hormone surge because of this. Apparently it can happen again between 6-9DPO... and then you have the possibility of another BBT dip at implantation.

I’m a little less concerned, now, but hoping for a 3 day sustained temp spike to confirm Ov and sufficient Progesterone. X

Mrsccc · 30/08/2019 08:53

@BeingATwatItsABingThing Thank you! I hope so!!!

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 30/08/2019 08:49

Mrsccc

Welcome. I’m pleased to hear about your OPK+. Let’s hope you won’t have another AF for 9 months. Grin

Mrsccc · 30/08/2019 08:39

Hi All,

Hope you don't mind me joining?

I was 27 yesterday and TTC #1

I came off the pill on 25th May and haven't had AF since, only a withdrawal bleed on 30th May.

I went to the doctors last Thursday for a blood test and everything came back as normal and was told to wait it out for another 2 months.

So yesterday was my birthday and I had some pain in my right ovary area.. So I decided to do an OPK just on the off chance after work about 5pm and got quite a dark line near enough straight away but not as dark as the control line. Then i decided to do another at 10pm to see if there was any difference and it was a positive!!!! I have attached pictures of both.

Literally so happy! So now in the TWW, finally!!

xx

Help! What is going on with my chart? I got my OPK+ on CD18. I ovulated and had an ovulation dip on CD19. My BBT temps rose significantly for 2 days and today, 3DPO, I had another massive BBT dip.

I’m super worried that I have a Luteal Phase Defect and not producing enough Progesterone in the LP.

I’m already taking Vitex, Ubiquinol, Myo-Inositol, Magnesium, Zinc, Chromium, Vit C, Vit D3, B-50 Complex, pre-conception vit, Baby Aspirin and loads of Nettle Tea (I also drank Raspberry Leaf & Red Clover Teas up to Ov).

Is there anything else I can do to help raise my Progesterone in the Luteal Phase?

I’m 38 yrs old and I’ve had a big temperature drop 3DPO (significant ovulation BBT dip on CD19 followed by 2 high BBT readings on 1DPO & 2DPO). I’m really concerned about this massive temperature drop only 3DPO - it’s way too early for implantation, so the only explanation I can think of is that I have a LP Defect/not producing enough Progesterone.

This is only Cycle #2, so I can’t go to the GP for tests for another 3 cycles.

Are there any herbs or supplements I can add to my stack that MAY help my body produce more Progesterone in the LP? Xxx

That's frustrating but it is still early you're not out yet. I didn't get my bpf til I was 2 days late but it wasn't a first responser.

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 30/08/2019 07:12

So I tested this morning and nothing conclusive. I think I can maybe see something there but I’m not getting my hopes up. Will try again on Sunday is AF hasn’t arrived. According to my various apps, she’s due Sunday but I OVd later than normal...
