Anyone starting the TWW #2

@Gems7 oh man, I'm really sorry to hear that 🤗 I really really hope it doesn't get worse 😩xxxxx yes I'm cd11 now so will start dtd soon... Maybe tonight then skip tomorrow then go at it I dunno we will see xx

@Missgoldilocks still pretty much the same, thanks for asking hun. Still spotting although still light and only when I wipe. Just taking one day at a time to get to 6/7 weeks and praying it's nothing serious. Each day feels like 5 though it's torture! How are you? Will you be entering FW now? I'm keeping my fingers crossed so tightly for you! 😘 xx

@Gems7 how are things now hun?? Hope you're okay ❤️❤️

@Laur89 Thank-You huni. Feeling pretty much the same really. Has another positive pregnancy test this morning but still spotting, it's still light and only when I wipe but I just feel really strange about it. Like I'm not pregnant and it's the spotting I always get before AF and that she will be here any day. That's how I feel, and there's nothing anyone can do to help me I just have to sit here and wait.
I've text my midwife who said to put a pad in, monitor it, wait a week and do another pregnancy test. I can't have a scan because I'm only 5+2 and you need to be 6 weeks.
I just have this niggling feeling that I have a progesterone issue and it's so frustrating because no one will listen to me and check it out 😔 My midwife suggested calling the early pregnancy unit tomorrow and asking if they will do a HCG blood test to check levels but I don't think they will because I'm not 6 weeks yet, and if they don't then she will do one when she is back in the hospital. she's off sick this week so it will be next week.
I'm sorry if I'm being a negative nelly girls I'm just so upset and can't stop worrying / thinking about it xx

How are you feeling @Gems7? Thinking of you!

@Gems7 oh babe 😩🤗🤗🤗🤗 I'm so sorry you feel like this it's just bloody awful. How are things now? I'm really rooting for you that all is well!!! Maybe the spotting was a bit of late implantation? ❤️ Pete know what is happening, has anything changed? I know I can't tell you to try and relax because how can you 😢 but please take it easy and I prayyyy everything is OK xxx

Thanks girls, I did take a test first thing this morning and it had a a strong line but I just feel like it's coming and that line is going to disappear very shortly. My boobs have been so sore but they are okay now. I haven't spotted since this morning but all I can do is wait and ride out the next few days and what will be will be.
I feel so churned up inside 😔 I'm just led on the sofa and haven't moved, I can't face food. I will test again tomorrow but my gut is telling me that it's the end. Thankyou for all your support 😘 xx

Oh @Gems7 no! As @Annny27 and @Missgoldilocks said, can you take a test and see what the lines like? Hopefully you might be able to get an early scan, spotting can happen in early pregnancy! Big hugs lovely 🤗

@Gems7 no!! ❤️ 😩🤗🤗 Take another pregnancy test and see if it's a strong line!! As @anny27 said, is there any way of getting a. Private scan? I'm so sorry but please try not to stress try to relax as much as much as you can to help things xxxx

Awwwh @Gems7 I am sorry lovely 💗 soo many women spot in early pregnancy and all is absolutely fine. Can you take another test to see if its still a strong line? And when we get to 6 weeks you can call the EPU to be scanned 💗💗

Girls I've started spotting like before a period. I think it's the start of a miscarriage. I'm 5+1 today 😞 heartbroken xx

@PrettyTulip I think you should try some herbal remedies for irregular cycles. Dong quai apparently really helps with it I'm using it to help my uterus in general but it's great for irregular cycles x
You might as well try during this time? Xx

No ideas what's going on with me.
CM seems to have mostly stopped leaking out of me (😂) but I've got some faint pink tinged CM this evening? Whaaaat? I think I need to be sent to the scrap yard and built again x

evening:)

@Gems7 that's good your manager knows so hopefully you are safer now!

@PrettyTulip I don't usually have that much but get dtd!:D

@Missgoldilocks yeah it gets too stress otherwise when I am worrying over the absolute best time to dtd

@Annny27 I've told my manager, earlier than I wanted to really but I had to because I work in hospital and couldn't be on the ward. Told our parents too but that's it, it's so early. I still feel like it's not real, it's so weird, I feel like it's not happening to me and it's happening to somebody else. I ordered pregnancy tests from amazon today just to keep checking it's true 🤷🏻‍♀️

Really routing for you girls this month, fingers crossed the relaxed approach does the trick! ❤️ xxx

@PrettyTulip sorry I haven't heard of it 🤔

@anny27 I'm gonna use opks and temp still but I think this month I'm not going to be like "we have to have sex" I'm gonna make sure we dtd around the correct time but I'm not gonna go mad with it xx

@Annny27 morning love.
We're doing the same, not actively trying at the moment but not exactly preventing it either.

My back ache is just starting to go away so that's a good sign (no idea what I done to myself there!) but I've still got so much CM? It's ridiculous I honestly feel like I've constantly (sorry TMI) wet myself as it goes down the inner thighs? Anyone ever heard of this before? 🥺?

Xx

Sore boobs is a common theme then haha @Gems7 @laur89. Have you guys told people yet?

We are not trying but not preventing this month! No opks or temping and just dtd when we want which will be a lot less than normal months but that's okay.

How are my ttc buddies getting on @PrettyTulip @Missgoldilocks

@Annny27 I'm feeling alright thank you, still sick most days and tired, sore boobs and fancy all the sweet treats that I can get my hands on 🤣 how's everyone else? ☺️

@Annny27 Not really.. boobs are ever so slightly tender at times but only feel in when I'm bounding up or down the stairs. 😄
Im getting twinges and mild cramps on and off too. Ovulation not far away for you now.. 🤞🏻 don't think I'll let OH near me for ages now 😆 xx

The worrying never stops does it @Gems7 💗

Feeling about symptoms yet?
Yes please both stick around @laur89 and @gems7 :D

Cd8 for me and not tracking this cycle so think about 9 days away from ovulation

@Laur89 Thankyou hun, honestly the worrying just never stops does it! You worry when you don't get a BFP then worry constantly when you do 🤦🏻‍♀️ xx

Hey @Gems7, yeah I was nervous! I was the same and kept checking the tissue, I had mild cramps for a bit after the BFP, then after that I started just being sick all the time and not being able to eat much! My boobs weren't really that sore this time around, I thought maybe it was cos I breasted my son for so long there was no feeling left in them 🤣🤣 but yeah, I was nervous and still am - I can't wait to get to the scan and make sure all is ok. You'll be fine, it's just your mind playing tricks on you! Try to relax as much as possible ☺️☺️

@Laur89 can I ask hun when you got your BFP were you nervous all the time? I am constantly checking the tissue every time I've been to the toilet for blood, I'm so anxious it's not going to stick, my boobs were so sore yesterday and this morning but now it's eased and they are fine. 😫
I'm getting odd twinges here and there but I'm terrified tomorrow I'm not going to be pregnant anymore. Thoughts are constantly running through my mind that my progesterone will have dropped now I'm not taking AC and that the pregnancy won't hold, I'm trying to relax and not stress but I'm so anxious right this second I can't sit still 😞

@Laur89 no he wasn't 😂 he wouldn't!! They are still sat in the kitchen cupboard haha

@Missgoldilocks I took Agnus Castus 300mg capsules three capsules twice a day, which sounds like a lot to me.. and my OH took ginseng capsules one twice a day (not sure what the strength is) they just say power ginseng 6x2500 100mg extract..
that's all he would take, nothing else, no vitamin c or zinc or anything, he jus wouldn't do it, and I'm skeptical about wether he took the ginseng every day as he was very reluctant.
I had a long chat with a herbalist who gave them to me with some mixed vitamins which I only took for a few days as they were making my wee neon yellow and it made me anxious..
I really don't know if the tablets are the reason for the BFP or just a coincidence that I had them this month.. I literally only got the Agnus castus because I had 4 days of spotting last cycle and a friend recommended I try them..
it's so difficult to know what to take and what not to isn't it 😖 xx
