Anyone else on the TWW and hoping for a Christmas miracle

Hi everyone,

This is our first cycle TTC, and whilst I promised myself I would stay calm and collected, truthfully I am the total opposite. I can't switch off from thinking about it.

It's taken my OH a while to come to terms with trying to start a family. Whilst we have been together since we were 15 (now 27) he always wanted to earn more, to have a bigger house etc but he's come to finally realise that it's never the right time and we just have to go for it. I was so so pleased he was finally ready but promised we would keep it relaxed and calm. If it happens, it happens,

But working from home and not having anything else to do, I just can't switch off from my mind wondering 🙈 wondered if there was anyone else in the same boat who just wants to chat really?

I'm due AF on Christmas Day so it would be such a Christmas miracle if she doesn't come.

@ELBlack I'm going to test tomorrow and if there's no lines then I'm just going to wait it out to see if AF arrives if it doesn't then I will go get some bloods done or take another test. If it comes up with lines and says pregnant on the digital then I will book an appointment with my GP

Mariex1989 · 02/01/2021 17:00

@Alist12 can definitely see lines there 😊. When are you going to retest with the other brands? x

Alist12 · 02/01/2021 16:49

@ELBlack this was my positive opk on the 20th

@ELBlack I'm not really sure but what I do know is I got a start of a positive opk on the 20th so I would say I would of ovulated on the 21st/22nd ish but my cycles are so irregular so I'm just going with the flow. I'm sure if I get a true positive the midwife will be able to tell me how many weeks I am

ELBlack · 02/01/2021 16:28

@Alist12 I see a line 😊 how many dpo are you? Tentative congratulations x

Alist12 · 02/01/2021 15:07

Been having a few days with very faint positives all within the time frame of each test I don't know how long my cycles are because of them being irregular. I have brought a pick of clear blue normal and digital and also some other brand just in case. Can anyone else see a faint line?
I don't really like easy @ home pregnancy tests because I think they give so many faint positives and not dark lines.

Sorry it was Tuesday I had my appointment, not yesterday. Losing track of what day it is 🙈

Mariex1989 · 31/12/2020 12:00

@Foundmyfeet morning!
Omg it’s never ending isn’t it! I’m sure there will be plenty tonight and tomorrow too.

I had a phone appointment yesterday and not really any closer to knowing what’s going on. She said going off my last cycle I’d only be 3 days late and some people it won’t show positive until a week after so just to keep testing and if nothing in a couple weeks we’ll have another appointment.

I did my cheapie test yesterday but it was invalid, no lines at all not even control line (serves me right for using it really 😂).

So I’m now on CD47 and no AF and no BFP. Going to give it a few days and maybe test again. To be honest I’m not actually bothered about POAS surprisingly, lost hope in this month!

How’re you? Any NYE plans? Xx

Foundmyfeet · 31/12/2020 10:55

Morning ladies! Almost 2021!!

Another pregnancy announcement yesterday. That's 2 babies due in August..so far.

@Mariex1989 - how are you doing? Did you see the GP?

How is everyone else?

Mariex1989 · 28/12/2020 13:14

@Foundmyfeet I bought some just cheap supermarket own ones but I’m going to wait or save them for next month.
Finally I think I’m starting to get my pms boobs. Just want af to come so we can crack on again

ELBlack · 28/12/2020 12:28

@Foundmyfeet swings and roundabouts, hey!

This will be month 2 ttc, but baby no. 1!

Thank you so much! Good luck to you too!

Foundmyfeet · 28/12/2020 12:09

@Mariex1989 oh I'm glad that you read it the way that it was meant!
I know what you mean about spending money on BFN's. Shame they don't come under the January Sale umbrella too! Lol! Keep us posted on if you do decide to buy an el-cheapo one. 😎

Mariex1989 · 28/12/2020 10:19

Don’t be daft @Foundmyfeet it didn’t come across at all like that to me 😊

Mariex1989 · 28/12/2020 10:18

@Foundmyfeet haha I don’t blame you! Needs must at times like this.
Yeah I’m not bad thanks. Still no sign of AF 🙈 I’m tempted to pick up a cheapie test when I do the food shop today, then again I don’t want to spend anymore money on bloody BFN’s. Yeah will be tomorrow when I ring them.

@Alicia870 so sorry to see this ☹️ Hope you’re okay x

Foundmyfeet · 28/12/2020 09:57

@Mariex1989 I've just re-read my post to you from the other day and I feel like I've come across as quite unsympathetic and for that I apologise. Obviously, I really hope it's not a CP but a lovely, juicy BFP instead. Me saying hopefully AF will come soon was not meant to be a cold and dismissive statement. A CP is still an emotional experience and my thoughts regarding AF coming soon would mean you'd no longer be in limbo so to speak. Hoping you'll get some light shed at the doctors appointment. Xx CakeThanks

Foundmyfeet · 28/12/2020 09:45

@Alicia870 I'm so sorry to hear that. It's so heartbreaking. As this is your third loss, speak with your GP about being referred to the gynaecology team. They should investigate now to see if there is something that can help you sustain a pregnancy. Daffodil

Alicia870 · 28/12/2020 09:09

@Foundmyfeet thank you very much unfortunately started bleeding this morning. I knew it was coming. It's my second early loss and third overall. Really hope everyone else is ok - it's hard at this time of year especially but sending luck and love to u all ❤️

Foundmyfeet · 28/12/2020 07:19

How is everyone else doing? Any good news to share?

Foundmyfeet · 28/12/2020 07:16

@Mariex1989 actually yes it was a great day just stuffing my face while laying in bed! I was the ultimate slob! Lol! How are you doing today? Assuming you have to wait until tomorrow to book a doctors appointment?

@ELBlack yes at least she allowed me to have Christmas Day! Which also means it'll be the first time in as many years that I will start the new year without AF...whoop whoop!! Enjoy all the BD-ing! Fingers crossed and baby dust to you! Hoping you get your BFP next month. Is this your first TTC?

@Alicia870 just checking in on you love. How are things?

It was a year ago yesterday that I had my D&C after my MMC the month earlier. I can't believe how time has flown. I couldn't help but think that I should've been holding a 6 month old baby in my arms.
Also, had my MC in May not happened, I'd have been due to give birth any day now.

...but 3rd time lucky, eh?! 🍀

ELBlack · 27/12/2020 09:46

Sorry just catching up @alicia870 so sorry to hear about your loss. That's devastating, and I'm sorry you went through that x

ELBlack · 27/12/2020 09:44

Hi ladies, hope everyone is okay and had a good Christmas, despite tiers etc.

@Foundmyfeet sorry to see AF showed up, but at least she let you have the day before rearing her head 🤷‍♀️

@Mariex1989 so sorry to hear about potential CP. Definitely get a Dr's appointment I think.

I'm on CD7 now, and commencing the baby dancing plan until AF is due! 😂 Hopefully with a bit less pressure on tracking etc it could be our month 🤞

Mariex1989 · 27/12/2020 08:34

@Foundmyfeet that sounds like a fab day tbf 😂.
Same! I was going to start my healthy eating today but we’ve still got soooo much food and chocolates left I don’t think I’ll be able to.

Yep just want AF to come now. On cd 42 today and no sign 😭. I’m going to book an appointment at the docs soon to try find out what the heck’s going on

Foundmyfeet · 26/12/2020 18:44

@Mariex1989 - I've just spent most of the day in bed stuffing myself with chocolate holding a hot water bottle on my belly. Will start planning my healthy living again tomorrow ready to begin in the new year.

Yes it could possibly be a CP seeing as you had a BFN on Christmas Eve. Hopefully AF will arrive soon so you can start again on the next cycle. Xx

Mariex1989 · 26/12/2020 10:58

@Foundmyfeet very kind of her to wait until the end of Christmas Day. Hopefully it’s not too bad and can still enjoy Boxing Day.

Was due last Friday, but they’re kinda all over the place within a week so latest it would have been was Christmas Eve (going off the past). I took a test Christmas Eve just in case and was BFN.
I’m thinking maybe my faint lines could have been an early chemical? I was looking it up and said it could make your AF late if it was cp?

Foundmyfeet · 26/12/2020 10:38

@Mariex1989 when is AF due for you?

Yeah, the b*h got me. I could feel it yesterday evening; horrible stabbing pains in my tummy. Also I was boiling hot and kept opening the back door for some cool air. DH thought I was nuts as he was freezing.
Well, at least she had the courtesy to allow me to enjoy Christmas Day before she arrived.
