TWW - Short(ish) LP

TTC12023 · 09/04/2023 07:20

Hi ladies! I was just wondering anyone wanted to join me in the TWW? According to my apps I was due to O tomorrow (10th, CD23) but have ended up O'ing on Thursday (06th, CD19 Hmm) so currently 3DPO. Thankfully had been BD but it's not going to be enough we don't think as only caught -3, -2, +1. This is our third month trying so not too long but I would love some company to stop me going mad, I only have a 10-12 day LP which is stressing me out as it doesn't feel long enough but apparently it is!! Grin. Baby dust to you all!

Got my bfp today at 9dpo albeit very faint!

Fingers crossed it sticks!

Congratulations! Sorry for delay! Have taken some time off the board to try and reset, it's all getting a bit much

How are you feeling?

@Ttcmumma I've stopped taking them now, I cannot explain how painful my back is, I can barely move! Will see if it happens again next month, if it does I'll go to the Drs. as it isn't normal for me at all! Maybe I'll be lucky this month after stopping them! Considering taking the month off of all tracking as it's become so stressful! We've booked a holiday now in September so part of me doesn't want to get pregnant before then now!

Hope you get some answers soon 😊

@TTC12023 nah not yet but symptoms align to that. Previous doctor just dismissed me but as I'm having discharge from the areolas I was concerned of cancer and pushed for more answers. It sounds highly likely my levels are high even if they aren't high enough to affect fertility. Pregnancy also increases the levels, I'm thinking after my miscarriage that's the hormone that failed to go back to normal. It's also dopamine that stops the levels getting too high and I've had quite the depressing year so it really all does add up lol. He's checking my thyroid again too.

Nah I don't personally think pregnacare done anything to me but I've only ever concieved when I haven't been taking it and when I do it seems to take ages 🤣 so I stopped, partially so there's one less thing to buy too. Would start taking vitamins again if I fell pregnant tho x

@Ttcmumma sorry to hear that! Did they run some tests already?
Did any of you get CRONIC backache on these pregnacare tablets when AF is due/here? I've had it's twice now and they're the only thing I've introduced the past couple of months and my AF length has gotten shorter (if that's even possible! I've basically had 1 (2 if you count half days) of bleeding (sorry TMI!) which is very short. I've stopped them but I just wondered!

Sorry to hear that @TTC12023.
Turns out I may well be incapable of concieving atm 😅. Doctor suspects that my pituitary gland is over producing prolactin which in turn... Stops you getting pregnant 🤦🏼‍♀️ffs all that hardwork and I may aswell have been on contraception lol. Going for bloods but not until July 🙃 to check my levels

Test negative yesterday morning, I'm not sure why I even thought I might be to be honest! The backache started and AF has shown up. I'm starting to think there's something wrong 😞. On to cycle 6 - not sure what to to do differently this month, any ideas ladies?

@BB2818 not today as I was out overnight and didn't take a test with me! Probably a good thing though, I'm expecting AF but as I said yesterday none of the usual tell tale signs. I am tired today but it was a late night and I didn't sleep well so trying not to read in to that! I have family staying this evening so probably won't test until Tuesday now, that'll put me at 13/14/15 DPO as I'm still not 100% sure when I ovulated, although pretty confident it was during the day on CD18 as all watery CM had gone by then, so probably 14 DPO. If I make it that far might push it to Wednesday as I've NEVER had a 15 day LP in my life 🤭🤣 - DH back Tuesday evening so testing Wednesday will be hard 😵‍💫🤣

@TTC12023 have you tested again today?

TTC12023 · 17/06/2023 13:09

Thanks @BB2818 and @Ttcmumma ! I haven't test this morning and my two has dropped but not by much. AF doesn't seem to be on her way from the usual tells I get, I do have dull ache in my right side which has been there for a day or so but who knows! If I am out this month I'm just glad I've had a couple of months of +10 day LP!

BB2818 · 16/06/2023 17:05

@TTC12023 @Ttcmumma thinking of you both. Try to stay positive. Your time will come. And you are definitely not out until AF arrives 🤞🏼🙏🏻🍀

Ttcmumma · 16/06/2023 12:04

@TTC12023 I would expect it to but everyone and every pregnancy is different! Definitely not out until af shows but can understand you're starting to be a little disheartened. Fingers crossed for you that AF doesn't show x

@Ttcmumma I'm sorry to hear that! You've had a lot going on it sounds like recently though!
Dull ache stopped but no other symptoms - will pick up a couple more FRERs just in case I make it to Monday without AF showing her face but I do think it would be showing now if my dip was implantation? That would be 3 days? I don't know maybe the stress is stopping this from happening!!

Ttcmumma · 16/06/2023 08:45

@TTC12023 ah sorry to hear it! Completely understand, I contacted the doctors actually regarding my hormones as I've gained 3 stone this year (and usually can't even keep weight on let alone gain) and have had some strange breast changes x

Another negative this morning and the dull ache has started so I'm out 😭 I'm starting to think there's some thing wrong, I know it can take up to a year but I just don't see why this isn't 'working' when we're doing everything 'right'.

@TTC12023 Napping sounds very positive. I don’t sleep well at night but could fall asleep at anytime during the day 🙈

@BB2818 sending positive thoughts to you! I can't believe you're 8 weeks already!
So I had a nap this afternoon 🙈 missed a meeting (whoops!)
Fingers crossed these are good signs or I'm just lazy 🤣

BB2818 · 15/06/2023 17:36

@TTC12023 @Ttcmumma I am ok thank you. I haven’t bled since 🤞🏼and had no pain. I feel fine, I think I am more exhausted because I didn’t finish fluid drip until after 11pm last night. I felt ok yesterday I wasn’t expecting to be put on a drip.

They forgot to put me on the list for the scan. So got to wait until tomorrow to hear from them.

I am about 8 weeks. It shook me up a little bit yesterday but I am ok now. Positive thoughts

@Ttcmumma I know, I know - I shouldn't have tested! I just feel super queasy and the pain in my boobs is different but I'm totally overthinking. DH is away this week and I think I've gone in to overdrive!

Ttcmumma · 15/06/2023 10:13

Oh you're still super early then! Definitely don't lose hope yet. Test again in the morning see if there's any more of a line x

I think 9 but I could be 8 or 10! I mean if I invert it and fiddle I think I can see the faintest line but that's probably just line eyes!

@BB2818 I hope you're OK?!

@Ttcmumma I hope so, its a very strong dip! I'll post my chart see what you ladies think!

OP posts:
Ttcmumma · 15/06/2023 09:20

@TTC12023 fingers crossed if your dip was implantation there's just not enough detectable hcg yet!

@BB2818 oh no! Hopefully nothing major. My mum bled with me for a long time and I'm fine! How many weeks are you now? Hope you're feeling better today x

BB2818 · 15/06/2023 08:50

@TTC12023 how many dpo? Might still be too early.

I ended up in hospital for an emergency scan yesterday due to bleeding. Never got the scan as ended up on a drip for 6 hours 🙃. Still waiting on an appointment for the scan 🤦🏼‍♀️
