Hi all,

So I'm actually strangely calm about the TWW at the moment, which is unusual for me!

We had a chemical pregnancy 2 months ago and since then I really try not to symptom spot as I try and protect myself from disappointment.. but I thought it might be nice to follow each others journeys during the TWW and keep each other motivated and positive!

So here's my story:

-TTC for 7 months, first baby!👼

  • had a chemical pregnancy 2 months ago💔

Currently 6 DPO:

  • cramping in lower stomach; AF type pains
  • constipated like MAD 😬😳
  • boobs are very tender (especially areola's and nipples)
  • very veiny boobs!
  • I actually woke myself up from a deep sleep last night as I was dizzy?! How does that even happen 🙃🤣

I’m also 7 months in to trying after coming off the depo. This month was my 3rd normal period I’ve got very sensitive nipples I’m wondering if this is a sign I could be ovulating this month as it’s around the time of my ‘fertile week’ ? 💕

Noo3833 · 05/01/2021 11:08

I am sorry :( it is sad. For me it’s more disappointment than pain at the moment as I truly believe it will happen when the time is right ❤️ I wish you all the best xxx

printedlace · 05/01/2021 11:05

@Noo3833 same as me. I'm so sorry. It's very
Painful to be on here I completely understand. I've actually decided to hide this thread now.
All the best for you going forward ❤️❤️

So I wanted to just post on here one last time so that people who come across this post can see but also for those on here to say Cheerio & good luck with everything either your new baby or for your next cycle! We got 3 bfp followed by a chemical on Saturday just gone so we have been up down and all over the place, mainly filled with disappointment. We are looking forward to being able to try again and hopefully being a little more lucky next time round ❤️ Love and luck to you all during this strange time xxx

Hayes178 · 29/12/2020 14:52

@Noo3833 thank you! Good luck to you Grin baby dust right back at you xx

Noo3833 · 29/12/2020 14:14

That’s a shame but it’s a exciting new beginning! Baby dust to you xx

Hayes178 · 29/12/2020 13:54

AF came yesterday morning unfortunately, going to try next month though Smile

Noo3833 · 29/12/2020 12:40

Heya! So I don’t know tbh! My app says I would be around 14dpo? I had what I assume was ovulation bleeding for the first time ever 14 days ago which lasted for three days? So around then!

Rice1992 · 29/12/2020 12:27

Fingers crossed for you @Noo3833 and @Hayes178 - keep us posted! It’s so hard not to test early isn’t it! How many DPO are you?

My nipples were constantly erect and sensitive @Hayes178 which was one of the symptoms for me. It’s just so cruel that some people get that before their AF too though, so really hard to tell!

Sending my love and wishes to you all though 💛

Noo3833 · 29/12/2020 09:10

Ok... so I normally wake up to AF! That’s not happened 🙈 hopefully she’s not playing a cruel trick on me! I’ve done a clear blue early and I swear I can see the faintest of lines? But I don’t know if I’m making it up because I want it so badly 😭 it’s so faint I can only see it at certain angles and won’t show on camera so I’m going to have to retest in a few days if AF doesn’t show.... why all the waiting 😂🙈

Hayes178 · 27/12/2020 14:03

Oh! And I've been so tired. Falling asleep early, waking up late and having to have naps in the day time 😂

Hayes178 · 27/12/2020 13:58

My periods aren't exactly regular, according to the app I'm due today. Nipples suddenly getting excruciatingly sore out of the blue yesterday, still sore today. Slight cramping just now. Slight increase in cm but got that last month. All pointing towards a period. I'm praying it doesn't come but I've never felt so period-y in my life. I took a test at what I think is 10dpo and it was negative. Keep going to the toilet to check if I've come in because I'm so crampy and my nipples feel like glass but no sign yet.

Hayes178 · 27/12/2020 13:54

@printedlace you are definitely not a failure ❤️ it's a tough, heartbreaking ride, but we will all get there in the end xxx

Noo3833 · 27/12/2020 10:17

It’s incredibly hard :( I had a chemical last year and it got to me so badly that we stopped trying till now. What helped me was what my doctor said. Somewhere between 1 in 4 to 1/2 of pregnancies end in chemicals. It’s to do with the egg it sperm and nothing to do with the house it’s in. It has to be a perfect mix to make a baby and most people don’t realise it’s even happened it’s those who are looking that notice. Please don’t beat yourself up over something that is not your fault xxx

MsCrapola · 27/12/2020 00:25

Hello, sorry I've been so quiet! It's been a busy week or so. Have finally come onto my next cycle and am now ovulating so fingers crossed :)

@printedlace so sorry for youbut please don't feel a failure! You are definitely not one. As pp said, stay strong, even though it's tough✨

@Rice1992 congratulations!! So lovely to see and wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!!xx

printedlace · 26/12/2020 23:14

@Noo3833 best of luck, not long for you to wait now! Got my fingers crossed for you ❤️❤️

If I'm honest I've really not been good. To be pregnant for such a short amount of time, planning your future and buying and wrapping the gift you plan to give to your DP to reveal the best gift of all on Christmas Day and then having it ripped away from you is so tough 😔 I'm still having pregnancy symptoms and still bleeding extremely heavily. It's just hard and especially so during Christmas.. I had to remove the gift from under the tree on Christmas Day because our miracle was no longer there.

It makes me feel like a bit of a failure. Like my body can't house our child or that I've done something wrong. I've had a chemical before, but this one has really hit me differently 😔 xx

Hello ladies, just wondering how you are all doing? I’m due AF on Tuesday 😬 nervous and excited. My symptoms feel less but still present. The biggest one is my breasts and chest is so veiny it’s so different! Also I’m a tea o’holic! I normally have 12+ every day (I know it’s so bad!) I’ve literally had 1 in a week which is unheard of! Very excited but scared of the potential disappointment x

Hayes178 · 22/12/2020 20:09

@printedlace so sorry to hear about your news ❤️❤️

Rice1992 · 22/12/2020 15:13

Thank you @WicketBasket @Noo3833 @printedlace @Lemongrass9 - means a lot.

@printedlace I’m so sorry to hear your news 🙁 This journey is so so cruel sometimes isn’t it. Stay strong - you’ve got this. Sending love 💛

@lemongrass9 that’s totally understandable to feel the way you do! Every step of this journey is going to throw its own challenges. I am now going to be going through the same motions as you, so you’re not alone. Fingers crossed we have sticky beans 🤞🏻

@dano99 don’t give up hope - 10DPO is still quite early. My 12DPO test today was quite faint, so it might just be that you need to give it more time. Wait a few more days and then try again and see how you get on xx

dano99 · 22/12/2020 13:50

I'm going to catch up on the thread his evening but just needed to tell someone (not telling other half yet) that I tested today I think 10dpo and was the whitest BFN not even a glimmer of hope 😔 I know it's early but it felt like a kick in the teeth I've had so many symptoms this month and had such high hopes from using the clear blue advanced for the first month...

Fingers crossed still I suppose... lots of love to you all ❤️ so glad this community is here for support ❤️

printedlace · 22/12/2020 13:25

Wishing you all the very best of luck. I'm going to take a bit of a break from here for a while. ❤️

Just to update you all.
I've taken a test again this morning and just now. Both stark negative. And I've began spotting.

Another chemical pregnancy.

Noo3833 · 22/12/2020 12:06

So exciting!!! A massive congratulations 🥳

printedlace · 22/12/2020 11:05

@Lemongrass9 bless you. I feel your pain! I'm also doing the same. Did a FRER this morning and got a negative but I think the test was a dud.. it looks so weird!! And the control line was zigzagging 🤷‍♀️😬 fingers crossed it's sticky for us all.
Xx

Hi ladies...sorry I’ve been so quiet on here lately. To be honest I’ve been feeling a bit anxious about everything and hoping my bfp stays. Didn’t want to be on here saying I was anxious when I’ve had my bfp, felt really insensitive. But I have been thinking of you all and read through the thread this morning as I remembered some of you will be testing around now.

I’m sorry this month isn’t been better for you @WicketBasket 💜.

Huge congratulations to @Rice1992 and @printedlace, definitely a faint line on that test!

Everytime I go to the toilet I’m checking for bleeding but nothing so far and tests are getting stronger. Not really too many other symptoms, bit of back pain and a few twinges in tummy. Feeling positive though.

Really hope those with bfps have sticky beans and everyone else enjoys lots of Brie and baileys over the next few days, I really hope next month will be your month - will be thinking of you all xx
