TWW - anyone??

@Sb86 aww I know, so super draining! Glad you had a nice bath and are hopefully feeling a little more relaxed. Early night and start tomorrow fresh xxx

@PrimarilyParented got my fingers firmly crossed for you 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Sb86 and @Floralsandsmiles sorry to hear your AFs arrived. It’s good if the B6 is helping though @Sb86.

no sign of my AF yet, though my boobs aren’t hurting today which is usually the sign it will turn up tomorrow. Obviously I’m hoping that instead what I had on Wednesday was implantation but I’m trying not to get my hopes up and be realistic that all the signs are that AF will arrive tomorrow or Sunday.

@Floralsandsmiles it's so draining isn't it, I shouldn't dwell on it but I don't want to get to my babies due date in May and not be pregnant. I know I'm putting pressure on myself but I'm stupid haha what can I say!

Sorry that AF has paid you a visit too. I'm in the bath right now, been in ages...had to drain some water out and fill up with hot water again!

sending love x

@Sb86 Awe I'm sorry! But - new cycle and new opportunities! Be kind to yourself today, take a long bath, eat the sweet treats for a day if you want and watch something to make you feel all the emotions. If you have a cry, so be it. Then tomorrow, onwards and upwards.
My AF came too and I'm doing just this. Lol xxx

Yesterday my emotions were all over the place, but af arrived in full flow so at least we can get that out of the way and start again. I'm glad I didn't have a week of spotting before my period so maybe the vitamin b6 is helping with that. Just the day before really which I can deal with.

How's everyone else getting on?

@PrimarilyParented any sign of anything yet?

Aww I'm sorry @Sb86 ! But it's not over until AF arrives.. xxx

@Hopefulx I haven’t done any digital as I’m happy with the lines for now 🙈 but no they didn’t give me any idea as to ranges. I’ve seen this though and this seems to be in line with most other averages I’ve seen. Also checked out some posts from people on ivf who purposely have 12 dpo levels checked and successful pregnancies have ranged anywhere from 25-100 so I think I’m good.
It’s not necessarily the number that’s important, it’s how much it rises in 48 hours. Should rise by about 70% I think

@MrsL22 Great line progression! That’s reassuring. I have just booked myself for a blood test to see what mine is too. Do they give you ranges of what you should be at 13dpo? I was 13dpo yesterday (bottom) test. Our lines look similar so that’s reassuring.

I did a cb weeks digital today and it come back 1-2 weeks at 14dpo. It worried me a little as not sure when that should change to 2-3 weeks but will do another at 4weeks + 5 maybe. Have you done any cb weeks digital?

@Hopefulx this is my line progression.
And after ending up on EPU having a chemical in November they offered to see me any time I fell pregnant for a reassurance check. I’ve had some shoulder pain so I called for advice and they invited me in.
My level yesterday was 68. But I ovulate late into my cycle and I am only 13 dpo today.
My understanding is that by tomorrow they should be around 100 🤞🏼

@Sb86 so sorry to hear this ❤️ was really rooting for you! If AF is coming I hope she turns up quickly so you can get onto the next cycle.

@MrsL22 have you got a picture of your line progression? How do you get your bloods tested? Do you know your hcg levels from yesterday? I’d like to know mine 😂 but then saying that if they aren’t rising properly there’s nothing I can do anyways.

@Sb86 I’m so sorry 😢 at least you can just wait for AF now and with a new cycle comes another chance.

My lines are still progressing nicely in frer so think I may stop testing soon. Had a blood draw at EPU yesterday and another one tomorrow just to check the levels are rising at a good rate so 🤞🏼

Well ladies I did another frer and there's not even a hint of the 2nd line 😔 this is why I shouldn't have tested earlier because now I'm more downhearted than ever! Onto the next cycle...

Got a blood test today for general stuff not hormones but the doc did say if I'm low on iron that can have an impact on things, so we shall see.

Hope everyone is well this morning

@PrimarilyParented we don't half put ourselves through some turmoil! I'm sure everything will be OK, but I know it's hard to switch off sometimes and not overthink and worry.

@Mrsrobinsonx it's natural to worry but this is a different pregnancy, we are all rooting for you ❤️

@Sb86 its definitely easy to take fertility for granted. I always had a back of my mind kind of fear that I wouldn’t be able to have children so when I accidentally got pregnant with my son I felt so lucky, but now I just have a fear that I won’t be able to have any more plays on my mind instead.

@Mrsrobinsonx its so hard not to compare but every pregnancy is different and I really really hope that this one is a sticky one x

@PrimarilyParented @Sb86
Thank you both! I think it’s just because last time it happened I was exactly the dpo on the day of the week I am now, and it was the weekend before my daughters party and it’s my other daughters party next weekend so I honestly feel like it’s deja vu. Down to the faint lines and not many symptoms, think I’m guarding myself so if it does go downhill I’ll be ready for it x

@Mrsrobinsonx keeping everything crossed, maybe don't test tomorrow but on Friday so that there is more of a difference.

@PrimarilyParented oh god I know it's so bloody hard isn't it! We definitely take it for granted especially if it's been easy to fall pregnant in the past or you're not trying so much. When you're trying everything is amplified isn't it! I'm keeping everything crossed for you too 🤞🏼

@Mrsrobinsonx keeping my fingers crossed for you, the tests aren’t always really dark for a while and it’s still before your period is due so a faint positive doesn’t sound bad to me.

ewcm is fairly common for me as part of the start of my period. My boobs are still killing me and usually the pain goes the day before my period (so I know it’s coming), but I feel so much like i’m about to start my period that I’m convince it I’d. I’m faintly holding on to the hope that this is implantation bleeding, but I genuinely don’t think it is. Trying not to be too gutted about that as it’s only cycle 2 of ttc, but after falling pregnant accidentally the first time I had hoped I would get pregnant instantly (don’t we all) but I know that’s unlikely and I just have to be patient.

Hope everyone is getting on ok!
update from me - still getting faint positive tests but they aren’t getting much darker still. So I’m pretty sure I know where we are heading but just in that limbo now!
AF is actually due tomorrow or Friday, I thought it was today but we will see in the next couple of days! X

Thankyou @Floralsandsmiles xx

@Sb86 I would say so as if it was AF it wouldn't be that colour surely? Fingers crossed for you still and sending you positive thoughts xxxx

@PrimarilyParented I'm thinking I'm out this month and it must have been an evap 🙄 I've had some more spotting today but not turned into anything more...I had this for a few days before my bfp with the pregnancy in September so I'm hoping it could be but only thing I have I tender nipples. Last time I had full aching boobs? I plan to test tomorrow morning so shall update you all then.

Ewcm is a good sign surely?

@Sb86 how are you getting on?

I also just had some spotting. Very light and just one bit of ewcm really with a clear brown tinge, but I am pretty sure it means AF is on its way tomorrow.

Aww OK, gotcha! Well thank you! Xxx

@MrsL22 congratulations, those tests look very positive to me!
