Hi all ,

I want some company .... currently in my 10 month of TTC after a miscarriage last March at 14 weeks

Due to ovulate around the 10th so my TWW will start around the 11th

Anyone else in the same boat ? Let's keep each other company

Ps I need support not to test early as drove myself mad last month !

Xxx

@MrsEmilyB it's defo there , can still see it now , but I'm thinking might be an Evap as BFN on FRER and they are more reliable will test again on Sunday but think it will be BFN

IVe got lots of left sided pain today and backache is quite bad so I'm not hopeful

Will keep your guys updated xx

Well I think that's me out! Got bright red blood when I went for my FMU this morning so looks like AF showed up on CD25 this month. @Adrianoska looks like I'll be joining you on the May bus!

MrsEmilyB · 17/04/2020 08:36

Good morning Ladies ❤️

@Donnat89 did you do a test? My fingers are crossed for you.

DH and I DTD this morning and I had some spotting afterwards. This can happen near AF and I'm due Monday so I'm guessing that's me out of luck this month 😭 I'll wait and see

@Ivoryjane I completely agree it's a waiting game really ! I haven't got much longer to wait so I'm hoping it goes quickly now . Sitting tight hoping for the best x

@Donnat89 ya it really is so hard- symptoms no symptoms- I think until you either get the BFP and/or miss your period there is always some doubt in my little head! Ha ha!
Thank you xx

@Ivoryjane i think so , my symptoms are pretty much the same every month so I generally know what I'm looking for but I've also seen people get all their AF symptoms and still get BFP so you really can't know until AF shows really .

I have my fingers crossed for you too ! X

OP posts:
Ivoryjane · 16/04/2020 18:14

@Donnat89 ya I think that is a good way to go about it. I'm going to try and wait as long as I can. And if I start to get AF symptoms I may just leave it! Although I am not sure if I even get the same symptoms every month!! Ha ha! Oh well we shall wait and see!
Very best of luck testing tomo really hoping you get your BFP but its still early at 10DPO so fingers crossed over the coming days. xx

@Ivoryjane exactly I'm
Going with gas at the moment , I can start testing tomorrow but I am
Expecting a BFN at 10 DPO I will then most likely test on Sunday at 12 DPO then wait and see if AF comes before I test again

This will all depends if I get More AF like symptoms though ... if I do I won't bother testing unless AF DOESNT SHOW .

We shall see xx

Ivoryjane · 16/04/2020 17:59

Thanks @MrsEmilyB maybe its just regular CM then! Ahh such a minefield all this TTC!!

I have pains on my left side but tbh I think they come and go throughout my cycle. I did have pains in my tummy earlier but as someone posted yday perhaps its just gas! I think I will still go with being 5DPO and see where that leads me!
I agree @Donnat89 I hate all this waiting too! But I know I cant test for ages yet so I'm going to try ignore it over the weekend and work will be crazy next week so will hopefully keep me busy albeit not too stressed if possible!

I've had weird shooting pains today on and off not sure if it's a good or bad thing or even just nothing ?

Backache hasn't got worse either and it usually does by now in fact I can barley feel it just odd twinges here and there

Argh I hate this waiting xx

Juno231 · 16/04/2020 16:29

Got a spot brewing on my chin which always pops up for AF. RHR remains low and my cervix is now low and firm so I think that means I'm out this month! Feel like I'm just waiting for AF to start so I can start afresh.

Donnat89 · 16/04/2020 15:56

@MrsEmilyB I'm not sure , I mean it depends on if you've even implanted yet ?

I'm gonna try one tomorrow morning and then will prob wait until next week before I do another xx

OP posts:
MrsEmilyB · 16/04/2020 15:35

@Donnat89 I'm determined to hold off until 11dpo Saturday! But I've almost caved so many times today!

How accurate are FRER's at 10/11 days?

MrsEmilyB · 16/04/2020 15:34

@Ivoryjane - it's so hard not to be all over the place! It's our first cycle, so I thought I'd be super chilled but I'm just not even 😂

In terms of CM, fertile is usually clear or slightly cloudy, slippy, stretchy and often in abundance! Thicker and sticky is usually non-fertile and there's a lot less.

I've been having O pains since 7dpo! I'm hoping it could be a sign of implantation rather than AF being mean. Maybe I'm just hyper aware? I never cramp pre-Flo. Maybe implantation pains for you too?! Is your cycle regular?

I'm wishing the next 2 days away so I can do a FRER

@Skyla01 last time I got pregnant I had broken my phone and it was off being repaired I didn't bother download the apps I use on the spare , so had no idea when I was Ovulating or when AF was due , when I did test I was a week late and got a BFP .

I do wish I could switch off from TTC as I think i would find it less stressful , but I can't

I have bought Some FRER to use tomorrow morning I will be 10DPO then I'm hoping for the best but fully expecting a BFN X

OP posts:
Ivoryjane · 16/04/2020 13:21

@MrsEmilyB oh its the same here! Some days I'm super positive and others then I'm convinced its not happening this month either! I'm a bit all over the place today, as I had mentioned previously I don't use anything only the app on my phone and tried to pay attention to CM this month. Thought I had some EWCM before what my app was saying was ovulation so thought I was on track. Now I'm not sure, I feel like I have O pains in my left pelvic area today and a bit of CM thats (TMI) white (ish and creamy) but I am CD18 today. I know its possible to O that late in a cycle but last time I got pregnant it wasn't that late! So now I don't know if I am actually 5DPO or not!!
Is nothing happens this month then next month I am definitely using OPKs or BBT methods to track it!
We have DDT lots in the last week and a half and will continue tonight and every other day to hope we are covered but who knows! Ha ha!
Sorry for the long post I am just confused. xx

Juno231 · 16/04/2020 13:20

@Skyla01 tbh it's very much in its infancy so I wouldn't recommend it as a replacement for bbt, I just track it for a bit of fun and there's always a thread on this forum with others that do the same. I use a fitbit and wear it overnight :)

Skyla01 · 16/04/2020 13:12

@Juno231 that's interesting. Is a fitbit the best monitor and do you wear it overnight? I like the sound of temping but I'm a bad sleeper so it wouldn't work.

Ladies I wish I knew the answer to a relaxed end to the TWW! Last week I went loopy. This cycle I've to try and not know exactly when AF is due, then I can't fixate too much. However it's not exactly hard to work out the date when my cycle is bang on 30/31 days so my plan is a bit flawed!

Donnat89 · 16/04/2020 12:04

@MrsEmilyB yes totally get what you mean I go from being negative to being really positive and like you I just want to know either way then I can be sad and move on !

Still got to hope I suppose but also prepare for the BFN ... AGAIN !

Xxx

OP posts:
MrsEmilyB · 16/04/2020 09:58

@Donnat89 - I know what you mean! I just feel super negative today (yesterday I was really positive!) and just want to know it's a no this month so I can be sad and then get geared up for next month.

@juno231 - it's still early days 🤞 if you've implanted late you'd expect a BFN for the minute as it's the implantation that causes the hcg rise!

Symptom guessing is such a bugger isn't it 😥

I'm feeling bloated and a little crampy. I don't usually cramp until the day before AF. She's not due til monday but maybe she'll turn up tomorrow just for shits and giggles. I've put a nice bottle of red into the tesco shop to commiserate with if needed!

Donnat89 · 16/04/2020 09:23

@Sammyclaire22 yes same here I've been so chilled this cycle and felt ok but now I just feel crappy and not confident about it at all I am gonna test tomorrow at 10DPO I have ICS so will use them I am expecting a BFN though , I wanted to try wait until AF is due but I'm too impatient and want to get the disappointment done with !

@MrsEmilyB yes 9DPO today here too , had some back ache last few days so pretty certain AF is on the way

@Juno231 bless you there is still hope so I've got my fingers crossed for you , but I know how you feel . I've had odd pains this morning but don't think it was anything at all like you said probably some wind .

Xx

OP posts:
Juno231 · 16/04/2020 09:17

Gah last night I had stabby sharp pains and it was sooo hard not to get excited about the thought of it potentially being implantation when I'm sure it'll end up just having been gas or something equally ridiculous. 11DPO now and still BFN so I think I need to start getting realistic about AF showing up on Sunday!
