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 🙃🤣

Oh hun, I know exactly what you mean @printedlace! I’ve been having a Google (bad idea I know Blush) but apparently lots of women had no cm and got their BFP? Basically I don’t know and I’m going mad 😂😂 I mean I’m officially trying to work out if a lack of symptoms can count as symptoms (like no breast pain or changes etc). Isn’t that silly?
When are you due AF? Xxx

Ooh sounds exciting @printedlace if you’re having good amounts of discharge. I’m unfortunately very dry now which I guess isn’t great Confused Ah well! Xx

Rice1992 · 19/12/2020 11:05

@Hayes178 ah ok gotcha, thank you! I have had some discharge the last couple of days and thought that might be a bad thing, so I’m guessing now it might not be. My cycles have either been 30 or 32 days for the last few months though, so technically could still be a week to go so I’ll just see what happens over the next few days.

It’s so hard not to lose hope in the TWW isn’t it 🙁 Keep us updated x

@printedlace that's such a good sign!! Grin fingers and toes crossed that all these bfn was just because you were testing too early!! Xxx

Oh exciting! I've got plenty of wet watery discharge. I'm sure I'm usually
Completely dry leading up to AF 🤔

Hayes178 · 19/12/2020 10:40

@Rice1992 discharge is the cm that travels out. You usually dry up and have no cm or discharge in the week/few days leading up to your period. You cm will become dry and sticky like glue and no discharge if you haven't conceived. If you have conceived you should be getting plenty of discharge and cm. I heard it's not 100% reliable (no symptom spotting ever is!) but it's been reliable for me so far.

Rice1992 · 19/12/2020 10:34

@Hayes178 @printedlace I still have my fingers crossed for you both 🤞🏻

I guess @hayes178 you’re still only 7DPO so there’s still time? Although I know hardly anything about CM - is that just what’s inside or what comes out too? Someone explain to me please 😅 Although not sure I want to know as it’ll be another thing to monitor 🙈

I’m trying to hold off testing until Tuesday when I’ll be around 12DPO, but the wait is torture 😩

All I can see is an indent line 😓 but as you say, it's not over until AF comes! My fingers are still crossed 🤞 ❤️

My cervical mucus has never been this dry in it's life! It's as if my body is trying to scream at me that I'm not pregnant 😩, my cervix was still nice and high this morning but slightly harder and slightly lower and a lot drier than yesterday. I'm 7dpo and I'm pretty sure I'm out now 😓

@Noo3833 I've had very sensitive boobs Burt mostly nipples. I've heard that pain on the sides of your boobs are a good sign!!

I've pretty much accepted I'm out this month now 😢

Noo3833 · 19/12/2020 08:29

Has anyone had any breast pain? Since last night I’ve been getting like small twinges either in the side of my breasts or more towards under my arm/back? I don’t get sensitive or painful breasts with period pains. X

@Hayes178 ohh interesting that we have the same kind oh symptoms! The AF type cramps in experiencing are remaining very light at the money so I'm really hoping they aren't a sign of AF coming. I remember last month I had similar but from 11DPO, and the cramps weren't as light as what I've got now!

OP posts:
Rice1992 · 18/12/2020 22:01

@printedlace I have them too and have been for the last few days. Had shooting pains a couple of days ago in the lower right side which would’ve been about 6 DPO if we’re going by my app, but feel like that might’ve been too early for implantation? Need to stop reading into things but I can’t help it 🙈 The wait to test goes sooo slowly 😩

@Hayes178
Thank you ❤️ it was a horrible point in my life. Seeing the BFP's and getting so excited and then it all just came crashing down. My cycles haven't been the same since. It takes my body longer to surge to ovulate and I don't seem to get any EWCM anymore so its really taken a toll on my body 😢💔

Just got everything crossed so tightly for us both! 😬♥️

OP posts:
Hayes178 · 18/12/2020 21:36

I'm really hoping you get your bfp ❤️

Same here, I usually just go straight to the toilet and shower afterwards. My daughter was conceived and I was lying down after sex as well! So I'm hoping that's the solution to all this ❤️

I'm so sorry to hear about your chemical pregnancy 😓❤️ xxx

@Hayes178 aww that's such a lovely BFP story! Bless her ❤️🥰
Sounds like you've done as much as you possible can, so fingers crossed for you!

I've recently tried to lie down after sex, too! Usually I'd go to have a wee and have a shower immediately after, so this does seem a little weird 😬🤣.

Ahh I just want this soooo bad! Our first baby after the awful chemical we had. It would be so special! ❤️

Keep being optimistic **

Hayes178 · 18/12/2020 21:25

@printedlace I tested at 10dpo and it was negative, I then tested at 13dpo and it was a bfp! she's now three years old! Definitely keep up hope! It is very hard to keep up optimistic. I really don't feel it this month, I tried fertility lube and lying down after sex which I've never done before so thought hopefully this month might of been the month! Xx

@Hayes178 thank you! Trying to remain optimistic but it's soo hard when you don't feel it! 🙈

I last tested this morning. 10DPO. I know in my heart it could be too early. I just thought perhaps after the awful nausea I had, it could be it! Xx
