Hi all,

Thought I'd start a thread in case anyone wants to join me in the TWW.
I'm 5dpo today, this is CD2 for me after a chemical last month. Ive previously had a miscarriage and a PUL also.
So far lower abdomen has been tender for a couple of days and just felt more tired that usual. I'm guessing that's just post ovulation though? How is everyone feeling? I'm going to try hold off with testing until AF is late.

Xx

@NW2021 thank you! Can't believe I got a BFP this early lol. The anxiety has already kicked in though 🤦🏻‍♀️. You have done so well to wait this long! That's some will power you have haha how are you feeling?
I woke up feeling horrendous yesterday, blazing headache and boobs were on fire. I just had a feeling. Also had a full feeling in my lower abdomen for days and I never usually get that x

@lockdownbabyx
Oh my goodness! Congratulations!! There is no squint needed for that line! Grin
I was planning to test 14dpo...but not promising! Hahaha. Really nervous to know and also really want to know. We had a mc last year and just super nervous but also REALLY want a BFP!!! Emotional roller coaster this ttc stuff! I have really late af last month and if the amount of tests I used are anything to go by then I might need to stock up now! Ha.
Eeeks super happy for you ! Be great to see the lines change as you progress for sure!

NW2021 · 17/02/2021 17:39

@lockdownbabyx can defo see that 2nd one! No hiding that line! Congratulations!! I’ve still not tested 🙈 holding out for Friday! No dip in my temp yet and tracking my RHR increasing so fingers crossed!

Did you have any symptoms leading up to bfp?

@Milliemoo222 I'm 10dpo today, I took another test this morning using FR and there is no mistaking this one ☺️. I'm the same as you, after a chemical last month I can't help but worry. So I will be taking tests every couple of days just to check there is progression. When are you planning on testing? X

Milliemoo222 · 17/02/2021 16:37

@lockdownbabyx
I can see lines!Flowers How many dpo are you? Eeeks, super exciting! Have you got any other tests? I find once I start testing I just cannot stop.
I am currently 10dpo and really trying to resist opening the tests.

Ok so I caved and did a test lol. Purely because I woke up feeling horrendous this morning. I'm only 9dpo so it's a real squinter but I can def see something!
I have some FR being delivered Friday so will do another one then.

Can anyone else see the line though? Just to confirm I'm not crazy 🤣. I don't always trust these CB ones though so I'm not getting excited yet.

Ps excuse the lockdown nails 🤦🏻‍♀️

@lockdownbabyx yes I think that’s one of the reason I don’t want to test early. Don’t want to see that positive then a chemical happen 😔 because I’ve read how common as well.

I’ve never heard of PUL, but very upsetting to go through! Positivity is key 🥰 keep positive! This is your month 🤍 defo keep us posted!

@NW2021 yeah it's not been easy, but they are so common like you said! Most people wouldn't detect them if they didn't test early. A PUL is a pregnancy of unknown location, I had never heard of it at the time either lol. My HCG was rising but they could never see the pregnancy anywhere. Was very strange!
Thank you, I'm trying to be positive this month and have everything crossed! Hope this is you're month too. I will keep this thread updated either way ☺️ xx

NW2021 · 13/02/2021 08:20

@lockdownbabyx it really is just the worst seeing that negative test! I’m really sorry I don’t know what a PUL is? It sounds like you’ve been through so much though! & a chemical last month, I’m so sorry! I didn’t realise till reading mums net how regular chemical pregnancy’s happen, I think that worries me more at the moment than anything else. I have everything crossed this is your month!

@Milliemoo222 good luck! Really hope it’s your month 🤍

@Allegra82 I’m 7dpo today as well. I’ve not really had many symptoms either that aren’t different to AF. Mostly how I’m feeling I normally do before AF. I’m hoping now being 7dpo I might see some changes in the next couple of days when hopefully implantation May happen!

Allegra82 · 13/02/2021 01:33

Hi everyone
I’m 7dpo today.
I’ve got cramps and my boobs are really sore. This is common for me though in the week before AF is due, so I’m not hopeful.
Might do a cheeky test tomorrow

Milliemoo222 · 13/02/2021 00:03

Hi, hope it is okay to join you all :)
I am currently 5dpo, first month using OPKs so still learning about them. We had a mc 5 months ago and have not really been tracking or teying to time anything, so this is the first month really since. Super nervous and of course super excited all in the same moment.
AF due on the 22nd, so going to try and wait to test until then... ha- right!!!! I have cheapies and left over OPKs though, so not promising !

@NW2021 oh I totally agree, the BFN are horrible! Still can't help ourselves though can we 😂.
Ooh hopefully this is your month then 🤞🏼. Yeah still trying for my first. Last year I had a PUL, which went on for weeks and weeks and it was so draining. I had to have methotrexate in the end which meant we weren't allowed to try and conceive again until after 3 months. So we had a break, worked out well actually as we moved house in that time and then I had to have my gall bladder removed 🤦🏻‍♀️. So last month was our first month ttc which sadly was a chemical. Hoping this month is our month too 🤞🏼.

Also typical that I'm now in bed and not tired! I just find myself reading loads of old threads on here 🤣

OP posts:
NW2021 · 12/02/2021 23:02

@lockdownbabyx exactly the same as me! I wanna wait to see it AF shows because the disappointment of a bfn is worse (I’ve found) & I don’t want to test to early and then worry about a chemical.
No losses before, Ttc our 1st, only our 4th month Ttc but this one was the 1st time we’ve been able to DTD more in the FW so I’m hoping we’ve done enough!
This your 1st? X

@NW2021 I'm now going up, I need my bed 😂. Oh il be the same, 100%. It's so annoying because on one hand I want to just relax and see if AF is late, so I won't be disappointed by all the BFN. But at the same time I hate not knowing 🤦🏻‍♀️. Plus even if I do get a BPF then il be even more anxious and on edge waiting for the spotting to start lol. It's just never ending Isn't it 😂. Have you had any losses before? You don't have you answer that of course ☺️ xx

NW2021 · 12/02/2021 20:47

@lockdownbabyx I’m already in bed!! 🙈 Came upstairs at 8pm 😂 the OH said it’s getting earlier and earlier you going to bed 🤣
I’ve got some FR from last month as well. I was adament I was waiting till next Friday (14dpo) but now I’m thinking maybe Weds I’ll test! I knew I’d do this 😂 i just wanna know! Weather it’s a positive or negative, I just want to know. The waiting is horrible!

lockdownbabyx · 12/02/2021 20:40

@NW2021 I'm the same! I've even ordered some FR on Amazon ready for next week 😂. I do already have a CB digital but I'm going to save that one. I've never paid attention to my CM after ovulation before so I don't really know what's normal to me. I'm soo tired, literally debating whether to go to bed or not 😂

OP posts:
NW2021 · 12/02/2021 19:22

@lockdownbabyx I was doing so well then today I’ve just been dying to just know! The waiting is so annoying 😂
Yeah I’m defo getting more tired, slept in later this morning and not been bothered to work out but it’s all symptoms I get before AF any way 🤦🏼‍♀️
Only difference I’ve noticed is more creamy CM than normal at this time. But again I dunno if I’m just looking for it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hate when I say all these symptoms I’m feeling cause I feel stupid when it’s a bfn!

@NW2021 I'm feeling inpatient aswell I can't lie 😂. I'm feeling tired still and have had a constant headache all day. Which I had last month before my chemical so I'm hoping that's a good sign 😁

mooloop · 12/02/2021 18:12

Hey everyone!

I'm still stupidly tired today. I've also had quite a lot of creamy cm today (sorry TMI!) which I've googled and seems it can be something or nothing. I just want to know now, I'm not very patient 😬🙈 only 6DPO though.

FirstTimeTryer93 · 12/02/2021 18:01

8dpo for me today ladies. The only 2 things I'm noticing are fatigue and painful hard nipples 😫

NW2021 · 12/02/2021 16:57

@lockdownbabyx impatient 😂😂 only 6/7dpo and starting to get the poas urges! Far to early I know. Let’s hope this week goes quick!
How are you?

@dany174 I’m the same! Constantly thinking is it early pregnancy or am I wishful thinking?

Found out today my best friend is pregnant so would love to go through the experience together with her 🤍

dany174 · 12/02/2021 16:29

I'm the same 6DPO and AF due on the 21st.

I don't know if I can wait that long. I was dead tired yesterday and have been nauseas for the last 3 days. I'm constantly going between thinking I might just have a bug and wishful thinking.
