TWW Buddies..

3 weeks I think...so not far, but this was a very definite immediate positive so I'm hoping it's more sticky than last month's chemical. DH has seemingly got over his shock and has asked for a 'celebratory takeaway' - any excuse 😂

@DancingNancies congratulations! Looks like we’re in this together 🤞🏼
How far along will you be?

Woke up this morning after a late night out and felt like I'd been hit by a bus. Have been exhausted this last week or so, but put it down to work. Figured I'd poas this afternoon just to rule it out, and OH! Explains a few things though!

DH is just looking at me in shock/horror - I'm not sure when he took the "let's see what happens" approach, he actually thought it would happen! Not quite the response I was hoping for but fingers crossed he'll come round soon! 🙈

@Downtherabbithole83 im really sorry about that, I hope your AF passes quickly and you can get prepared for next month
@MrsL22 i can imagine how you feel and know I’ll be the same when pregnant again. All I can think is that being worried and not enjoying when I’m pregnant again isn’t going to change anything, in fact it may well have a worse effect on my health so should try to enjoy it… I know, easier said than done!

And there’s your symptom then @MrsL22 . That’s great 😃

I’m just waiting for AF now - hoping it doesn’t take long so we can try again!

@Downtherabbithole83 yeah I’m trying to just relax and say there’s literally no reason why this wouldn’t be successful.
tbf… my nipples are bigger than I’ve ever known. 😂🫣

I think that’s understandable @MrsL22 . If it helps, I looked up my last pregnancy (through messages to my mum!) and found that my first symptoms didn’t turn up until 6-7 weeks. And even then it was just exhaustion and changes in my boobs (became more full-looking). Nausea came after that and vomiting started around 8 weeks.

But all pregnancies are different anyway. With my first I vomited once every day from 6-37 weeks. With my second it was once most days up to around 17 weeks and with my tfmr, it was nausea all day every day, less actual vomiting but felt so much worse! And those were all my pregnancies!!!! Vary even more person to person so don’t let lack of symptoms worry you xx

@SMG1992 @Downtherabbithole83 I’m now 15dpo and 3 days after AF due. Still no sign of anything other than BFP. Although for some reason, despite the reassurance from bloods yesterday, I still can’t accept it 🫣 any twinge and I’m in panic mode.

@SMG1992 not exactly sure - tested positive on 10dpo and they were really strong by the day AF was due. I’m about a week now after AF was due but I was getting cramps so thought I’d test again yesterday morning and the line was fainter than I’d expect and this afternoon and there was no line at all 😢

@MrsL22 congrats, that’s great news!

@Downtherabbithole83 im sorry this month was not your month, how many days post ovulation are you?

im not testing again until next Thursday so hopefully will have an idea then 🤞🏼

I’m out…

Period pains have started pretty convincingly here… Mother Nature can be so cruel!

That’s really exciting @MrsL22 - I’m really happy for you. xx

@MrsL22 that's fantastic news! Congratulations!

@Mrsrobinsonx I'm so sorry to hear this

TTC really is an emotional rollercoaster

Still no AF for me and still testing negative. I'm going to order a female hormone test from Forth and do it once I finally get my period to see where I stand with everything. Also hoping yo clean up my diet a little to see if that helps any.

I’m so sorry to hear some of you are having a rubbish time :(

I hate to be that person… but I just thought I would let you all know about my repeat blood test.
On Wednesday my beta HCG was 68 and today it is 208 🥰

Obviously still not out of the woods obviously anything can happen at any point but so far all is looking well 🤞🏼

I'm in a bit of a weird spot in the TWW. I'm going to take another test next Thursday 14dpo as am getting positive results but might still be hormones hanging around post MC so I'd like to compare after a week which should be enough time to know either way.
I'm trying to remain as optimistic as possible, but I don't want to kid myself.

@Mrsrobinsonx wishing you all the best, defintiley worth contacting the doctor and asking for advice.

Oh @Mrsrobinsonx I’m really sorry to hear that. This whole journey is just so hard xx

@Downtherabbithole83 Hi, I didn’t do a test as I started bleeding.
I say that, it was actually only after we dtd and I’ve not started like full flow bleeding but definitely the start of it.
So my gut was right and it’s another chemical for me, I’m not dealing with it great this time tbh. But giving it the weekend and will maybe ask the doctor for advice next week.

Hope everyone else is ok. X

Morning all - had one IC left so figured one last POAS with fmu to make me feel better after a lighter one the other night… and while the test still has a decent line, it’s significantly lighter than it has been in the past.

Trying to tell myself it doesn’t matter, a line is a line and I’ve never POAS this late before so if I hadn’t I wouldn’t know and I don’t know what it should look like at this point, but I can’t help but worry.

So angry with myself for even doing it! Should have just put the extra tests in the bin.

@Pitstop1986 sorry to hear it was another bfn and no AF either. I ovulated a lot later than I thought this month and my cycle was 4 days longer than it’s usual… it does seem to happen apparently but it’s annoying!!! Hope you’re doing okay.

@SimplyChic hopefully you can get some support and help at your GP appt.

@Mrsrobinsonx did you manage to hold off testing today?

@Downtherabbithole83 hello, nothing new to report here, partly why I haven't posted. Although I feel pretty convinced that I have PCOS now sadly.

I had another negative this morning, but still no AF.

Now I'm worried that the ewcm that I got around cd 28/29 was actually a super late ovulation and I've missed my chance this month. We haven't dtd since cd 21. DH needed a rest after all our efforts for what should have been my fertile period and then I was working long hours st the hospital, so have been exhausted in the evenings, so have had no energy for any amorous activities...

I have no idea what's going on with my body! I'm currently cd 33, I usually only have a 31 day cycle

@Downtherabbithole83 thank you, that’s good to know. Think I may wait until tomorrow or not at all, don’t want to see the lines fade if they are going to!

@MrsL22 I wish I was that confident 😆 you’re so right though, why would you believe otherwise unless anything happened!

@DancingNancies definitely, I think I’ll probably worry the whole time tbh if this pregnancy is successful 🙈 x

@Mrsrobinsonx you definitely don't sound ridiculous, the limbo is the worst bit and waiting for a result is torturous - hoping you get an answer soon!

@Pitstop1986 hoping this morning's poas brings some good news your way!

@Downtherabbithole83 my ds5 is an absolute angel in comparison to my ds2, but even he has me wanting to tear my hair out at times - remind me why I want to add another to the madhouse again?! 😂
