TWW - Testing Around 1st March

Creating a thread for anyone close to ovulation or already in the TWW! I find this journey easier speaking to people going through the same and on the same timeline. We are trying for baby #1 after a MC end of June/July, we was going with the flow but after nothing happening we decided to start tracking ovulation last month and this month i started tracking BBT as well. This month is also our first month using Preseed after I saw so many people say it helped!

I am currently 3DPO - Ovulation was on cycle day 15 confirmed by BBT.

I would ring them up, they might be able to offer reassurance. It's good that you've got a good line on the test, it's still early days so try not to worry too much. Every pregnancy is different and symptoms can come and go xx

@Sb86 They are really good lines for 12DPO! I've tested with cheapy strip test this morning and still seems like a good line. Still not feeling great thought. I've had no belly/back ache like i did last time and what everyone seems to experience this early and the only symptoms i did have (boobs and frequent loo visits) are still not there any more. Don't know if i should contact EPU, i don't even know what to say and scared of rejection from them. Waiting to be contacted from my referral to tell them how i feel but that could be another week/two. Feel really unsure and lost :(

Thankyou @TTCRainbow and @UnwieldyRhombus I couldn't help myself and took 3 tests when I got back. I'm 12dpo and obviously it's night time so I was happy with the lines. Saving my first response til morning though to see the line progression. I'm then going to phone epau tomorrow to try get an early scan and ask about bloods and any advice for upping progesterone naturally as I know they won't prescribe me it. I really do not feel pregnant at all, I obviously am but it's just a bit scary.

I had a lovely wknd thankyou, watched a guy called Rob Madge friday and Phantom of the Opera on Saturday which was absolutely amazing!!

Fingers crossed we both start feeling things soon, I've read symptoms can come and go because of the fluctuations of hormones so hopefully everything will be just fine xx

UnwieldyRhombus · 05/03/2023 20:44

@Sb86 and @TTCRainbow, fingers crossed for you both xxx

@Sb86 😒 it’s so shit. I honestly don’t know how I’m going to function at work tomorrow/this week when it’s all I can think about. I feel like I can’t even go get blood test done or speak to anyone as they just won’t care 😩 praying for us both 🫶🏼 I hope you had a lovely time away xx

@TTCRainbow it's awful isn't it, I've been in London all wknd for my Christmas present and I started spotting brown yesterday and still today. Only when I wipe and not a lot but again it's very triggering. I didn't take any tests with me but will be testing in the morning, I also feel very symptomless so am expecting the worst. It's just shit! I'm on way back now and googling how to up progesterone levels 😔

Praying for you and me both 🙏🏼 ❤️

Also.. up until last night/today I needed the wee all the time and today just feel back to normal, no needed the loo anymore than I would. Just feel like all these things would be increasing not decreasing, especially boobs and wee 😩

So update from me, I did CBD test yesterday and said ‘pregnant 1-2’ which was expected but I still feel very symptom-less and although my boobs had felt bigger and slightly sore to touch but not very much but today they feel like they’ve changed and look smaller, softer and semi normal which as you can imagine today has been a really emotional anxious day 😒 This was my first sign of my miscarriage last time and I don’t want to think negatively but I am just so scared. My OH has been so amazing and I know that everything is completely out of my control right now but it’s really hard to not think the worse. Hoping for a miracle and everything will be ok 🥺🌈🙏🏼👶🏼

I hope everyone else is doing ok xxx

@DiamondApricot thank you so much. Need all the luck I can get! There's still time, everything crossed for you 💛

@TTCRainbow so you got BFP on 10DPO. It's it very difficult 🤣. Went out for some drinks with friends yesterday but had to discreet not to drink drink. Luckily I'm not a beer girl and makes it abit easier. Good distraction and I am looking after my partners mums dog. She's super cute and a really nice distraction. Crazy how they make you feel calmer. She lay on my stomach when I was preggo in Feb and i wondered if she knew.
Oooo, the dated tests. Exciting!

At the moment: I've had slight nausea the last couple of days (not sure if this was from dodgy food), I think cramping, dodgy stomach, good appetite (probs normal for when period coming), tired (although last weekend was on a course and work either side). Hard not to overanalyse! Glad of this thread so can voice some stuff. Did any of you early BFP have symptoms? X

@Sb86 I might request this and see if they will.. i doubt it but worth a try! It's such a nervous strange period knowing you are but not hearing or speaking to anyone about it or even having blood test yet.. feels strange! I had to google that.. oh no sounds horrible :(

@SC0205 You're doing well! I caved at either 8 or 9 DPO - BFN but go faint positive next day!

@1sttimemummy2022 congratulations!! I'm going to do a clear blue digital with dating tomorrow which is when my AF is due/late.. i'll update you all tomorrow :)

DiamondApricot · 03/03/2023 14:00

@SC0205 best of luck for Sunday! I caved on Wednesday and got a BFN but still holding on to a bit of hope. I'm not 100% sure, 12 or 13 DPO I think. AF is due from tomorrow so it'll be my last chance to test this cycle.

1sttimemummy2022 · 03/03/2023 13:58

After 2 positives and a couple of negatives and much confusion I decided to test this afternoon.

TWW - Testing Around 1st March
SC0205 · 03/03/2023 12:33

@DiamondApricot I'm still get to test 😅. I was planning on Sunday 9DPO....may try to wait longer. Who knows if I'll cave though! What DPO will you be tomorrow?

DiamondApricot · 03/03/2023 12:01

@Peaceandloves oh no, a bit more waiting then, hopefully you've got lots to keep you busy?

Peaceandloves · 03/03/2023 08:28

@DiamondApricot I'm only 6dpo :(

DiamondApricot · 03/03/2023 07:23

Is anybody else still to test? I'm trying desperately to hold off until tomorrow but it's all I can think about.

Sb86 · 02/03/2023 14:33

@TTCRainbow I got told when I miscarried in October that if we got pregnant again they would give me an early scan for reassurance. I'm also conscious of having another subchorionic hematoma as started spotting with that at just before 5 weeks and that could have been to blame. Honest everytime I go to the toilet I'm thinking the worst, I hope as time goes on I'll calm down a bit but at the moment I'm very anxious x

@NWnature Sorry to hear your still getting BFN :( When is AF due? xx

@Sb86 That's what i was thinking.. i see people say they've been to doctors and blood tests confirmed so was confused :( Can you do that? Request an early scan? I was actually going to ask everyone whats their thoughts on getting a early scan but i thought we might have to pay to have it privately xx
