Anyone starting the TWW #2

@msunflower awww it's okay, the girls on this thread have helped me out so much over the last 12 months, it's nice to have a place to go and talk about all the crazy things you can't talk to anybody else about. We all understand what each other is feeling on here it's nice to have people to talk to 😊 x

@Gems7 thank you and good luck with the first trimester, I hope you continue to feel well and that everything goes smoothly! So chuffed for you, and thank you for all of your encouragement on this thread ☺️

@msunflower Thankyou hun 😚 we just DTD more than normal this time (twice a day CD 12-16) but I'm not really sure that was the reason for it to be honest because we didn't do that back in March when I got my last BFP, we must have just got the timing right and been extremely lucky.
Good luck for your exam and good luck for this next cycle
I feel okay girls, just the same, don't feel pregnant at all, but I have had the odd cramp and bloating episode! Will be a loooooooong first trimester, honestly the anxiety is taking over though it's horrible 😔

@Missgoldilocks I really want my OH to take me to Italy!! Italian food is the best! 😋
@Annny27 Has AF finished now? Keeping my fingers crossed for lucky cycle 9!! 🤞🏻🍀

Xxx

@anny27 I don't think so. I feel like af is gone come, yes on Sunday.
I had a cry this morning then picked myself up. Booked a holiday to Italy for me and my OH for the first weekend in October (fertile weekend lol) it's something for me to look forward to and to lose some more weight for. I need to start thinking like I may not get pregnant but in January we will seek help instead of this emotional roller-coaster every month. So if it happens before January amazing and if it doesn't we can get treatment to start things up. Let's just hope I carry on thinking like this lol
How are you feeling? Whens fertile week?

@Gems7 how are you? I xx

Omg @Gems7 congrats! This is amazing news! How are you feeling? Did you do anything different this month?

Sorry have been MIA, have an exam coming up next week. AF came for me, was a weird month after suspected CP but AF feels like she's back in normal cycle now so will be DTD again from Tuesday for month number 3.

The feeling hot and cramps does sound promissing! @Missgoldilocks whens AF due?

@Gems7 thats a relief to get that on the digital :D yep the joy of the first trimester definitley has been taken away for me now when we do finally get our bfp!

@Lynne425 awh sorry lovely :(

I think my light possible implantation bleeding has turned into an early period as it's got heavier now!!

Not to worry - just need to try all over again ☺️!!

To be honest it's not the worst news for me this month as now I can go ahead with my antibiotics for my skin this month and start again next month 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

@Annny27 yes keep testing, AF officially 2 days late now, got a positive on clearblue weeks yesterday (2-3) and also a cheap test,
but other than occasional mild cramps/twinges I still don't have any symptoms.. maybe I should just count myself lucky! Still panicking I will have a chemical or MC though but we shall see. Wish I could be excited and enjoy it rather than worrying. xx

@anny27 well at 8dpo had my usual cramps, yesterday was 10dpo and had bad cramps in the night, was super hot had to turn the fan on! But that can be pms too, and other than that no symptoms or anything so it could go either way. This journey is a very sad one honestly. How are you feeling? Xx

Morning girls :) cd3 so period starting to lighten up now!

@Gems7 have you tested again now AF date has gone?? And still no symptoms?

@Missgoldilocks any symptoms or indication that AF ir arrivinf? :(

@Missgoldilocks Thankyou so much 🥰😘

@Lynne425 could Defo be an implantation bleed.. I would test again in a couple of days when there's been enough time for the hcg hormone to show in your urine, good luck xx

@Lynne425 hi there, it definitely could be implantation bleeding and that wouldn't be late either :) give it till 3 days past the bleeding to do a test or wait till the day of your period is due but sounds super promising good luck let us know!! Xx

@Gems7 😍👌 that's amazing I'm so happy for you 😀💖 I'm so so glad that it rang true for you to be more fertile after your mc. Praying you have a sticky bean and a happy healthy 9 months you deserve it my lovely 😍❤️❤️🌹🎊 xxxx

@Missgoldilocks yeah I did one last night, still positive xx

Afternoon

Just wondering if anyone experienced a very light period starting 4 days earlier than your normal period?!

I'm approx 11 dpo at the moment and period due on Friday and I'm usually like clockwork on 28 days.

Today I went to toilet and have a very light period but no normal period symptoms of cramping and nauseous?! I usually always have this?

I done a test but it's BFN so assuming it's just an early period but could it be a late implantation bleed?!xx

@Gems7 have you done another test xx

@Annny27 no symptoms at all 😳 AF due today or tomorrow, my boobs haven't been sore since before the MC.. wonder why.. our bodies are so confusing! Xx

@anny27 same same same! I can't focus. I just had a convo with my sis as well and I was saying I want to try isoflavones etc and then she brought up the fact I spoke about going for ivf which obviously we will have to if nothing else works and she basically said to me I shouldn't see ivf as a solution and it's 1000 times more traumatic.
I was like, Um, ivf is a solution that's why it's there but I never said it would be a walk in the park. However I would like the fact I had something to look forward to instead of being in the dark month after month 😬 that's what drives me crazy the unknown.
Private ivf I guess if you go to a good place about 4 grand maybe 5. There are places for cheaper but for something like that I guess you'd want to splash the cash a little.
I'm 9dpo today and no symptoms though yesterday I had feeling similar to cramps but I am 100 percent sure I get that every single cycle. I had this part of. The 2ww because I just want to know and then if I need to. Start again just start again :(

Morning :)

@gems7 are you having any symptoms? Yes I am pumped for cycle 9!! We conceived in september last year and my little baby was due in june so I really want another little may/ june baby 🥰🥰🥰

@Missgoldilocks i feel like a shell of my old self. Just nothings that fun, I am jealous of all the people in my life who are pregnant and everything revolves around fertile days and tww 🙄🙄🙄 how much is private IVF?

@Annny27 oh gosh don't remind me 😫 from CD12 to CD16 we DTD twice each day. That's the first time we've ever done that though, we were doing SMEP then on CD12 we naturally had sex twice that day so I thought we should try and continue it until day after ovulation day.. (my OH is a little bit older than me and I always think "what if his sperm don't hang around for a long time") I thought 2-3 days in my head but then I got two bloody surges didn't i and had to carry on 😂

I'm really sorry AF arrived 😔 there's nothing I can say to make it any better, it's just not fair. One positive you can take from this cycle is the decent LP without spotting though isn't it.. the progesterone pessaries seem to be working well. Cycle 9 was lucky for me, I am keeping my fingers, toes and everything else crossed that it is lucky for you too.

@Missgoldilocks that myo-inositol powder looks interesting.. 👀
Covid has a lot to answer for doesn't it, I'm so sick of it, everything's weird and different, shopping and going out doesn't feel the same anymore, hope everything gets back to normal soon-ish and things get better for you. Xxx

@anny27 yep you know what I thought prior was of it hasn't worked next month I want to do it twice one after the other since they say the next lot of sperm is better because I've done once morning and once evening it hasn't worked. This month we dtd every day from cd12 to cd15 but we've done that a few times and nothing.
Yeah I think I will push for us to start earlier but it's the money as well covid has fucked our business quite a bit so the money side of things is holding us back a bit too

I don't even have any words to tell you because I'm in the same boat I don't know how to not be upset or let it consume me because we'll it's really wanted isn't it? Just a shame really

@Missgoldilocks yeah i am really hopeful that we will fall in the next few months 🤞🤞🤞🤞 i have ordered those syringes and going to use it if we really cba to dtd. Feels less pressure!

Its very all encompassing I barely think of anything else. The other day I legit thought it was April because I was so all consumed in conceivinf and April baby this month that I actually forgot what the actual month we are in is 😭

Its good you have a target for January or atleast maybe start seeing the clinic in november/ December as it can take a few months even from first appointments to actually getting ivf

Because @gems7 dtd twice a day for a few days so maybe thats the trick! Dtd in the morning and syringe in the evening 😂

@anny27 ahh I'm so sorry 😔😭 it's the absolute worst!! Do the doctors class it as unexplained infertility even though you've had a miscarriage though? I know it's horrible but is there not hope because you did fall?? I don't k ow how they class it with that that's why I ask. I'm really hoping you get your bfp within the 12 month time frame after your miscarriage so that's within these 3 months 🤞🤞🤞🤞 have you thought about getting the hycosy done just to have a little flush out and see if it helps?
I'm thinking I have unexplained infertility too and it's really getting me down. I was speaking to my OH yesterday and I said I just think we need to go for ivf there's no point in iui when ivf has such higher conception rates. He's adamant to wait till. January but I honestly don't know of I can wait that long my mental health is seriously taking a beating and I just can't focus on anything else for long I'm actually quite down for about 3 weeks out of the month the only week I feel excitement is fertile week because I think maybe we can do it this time. I can't go on near on 2 years feeling like this which it will be nearly 2 years if we waited till january xx

Morning :) AF arrived this morning so into month 15 overall, month 9 since miscarriage 🙄🙄😭😭

@gems7 yes if you wait a few days then it will be darker so less stress :D

@prettytulip I am soooo confident as soon as you have ovulation help that you will fall!

I think me and @missgoldilocks have unexplained infertility which is the worst 😭😭

@PrettyTulip That's really brilliant that his sperm is okay, most of the issues that women face have a solution, it's most likely something minor and there's things they can give you. At least you are getting closer to finding out what it is.

I haven't tested again no, I'm scared to. I know that sounds pathetic but I'm scared the second line won't be there anymore and it will be a chemical, 😔 I'm really trying to be positive though but the worry is always there. I have no symptoms, just the odd headache here and there. I think I will wait until AF is due tomorrow/ weds and if she doesn't show then I might actually believe its real and test again xxx

@PrettyTulip ahh ok, wasn't sure if you had seen it! Hopefully you won't need it but just thought I'd mention it :)
