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!

@TTC12023 I am very happy about the sickness. It can only be a good thing 🙈

Aren’t our bodies cruel. Why can’t the symptoms be completely different? That way it would be easier to spot 🤦🏼‍♀️

@BB2818 omg that's so exciting for you!! Sorry about the sickness, but at least it's a positive sign!
I have a pain on my right side and I'm super bloated tonight but that could be the heat, level of liquid I've drunk, tiredness, normal PMS 🙈 why is this so hard and WHY do we symptom spot 🤣

@TTC12023 Yes keep us posted. We need more baby news in this thread 🤰🏻👶🏼💛🍼🥰

Usual pregnancy symptoms. But forget morning sickness. More like all the frigging time sickness. I have had it at every time of the day. Including through the night. I have my first midwife appointment on Thursday 🙈

@BB2818 I'll just wait I think, AF due Sunday if I make a 12 day LP. Had a massive dip in BBT this morning but that could be because I took it slightly earlier as in the office; fingers crossed I guess for implantation!

@TTC12023 when are you going to test? I have everything crossed for you 🤞🏼

@Ttcmumma sorry to hear AF turned up, you definitely have had a lot going on this month! How long was LP?
I managed to bring my O forward to CD18 according to FF but according to NC it was CD19 😑so I have no idea whether I'm CD 5 or 6; might be 7 as I think I O'd on CD17 😂
Not holding out any hope even though we were EOD with preseed, but we'll see 😆

BB2818 · 11/06/2023 19:38

@Ttcmumma you have also had a lot going on this cycle. Fingers crossed for this cycle 🤞🏼

Ttcmumma · 11/06/2023 18:20

@BB2818 yeah, think I'm getting used to the disappointment each month now. I didn't track anything this month, no lh tests no bbt. I did on test yesterday that was negative. My cycles had gone to 30 days. Usually ovulate between cd14-17 so was surprised to start today. It started with just bloody cm in my PJs this morning and light pink when I wiped so was hoping for implantation but it's definitely progressed to bright red 🙄

BB2818 · 11/06/2023 18:13

@Ttcmumma so sorry. Are you ok? How long was your LP?

Ttcmumma · 11/06/2023 14:03

Dammit, down to 27 day cycle this month. AF surprised me this morning 🤦🏼‍♀️

BB2818 · 09/06/2023 18:58

How is everyone doing?

JourneyToNumber2 · 07/06/2023 21:25

@BB2818 totally understand that, fingers crossed that everything goes well for you.

BB2818 · 07/06/2023 19:45

@JourneyToNumber2 it is a difficult decision. There are more factors than previous losses to why we are being secretive. There are a few things going on in our wider family. If anything bad does happens (touch wood) I know I am not burdening them as well.

JourneyToNumber2 · 07/06/2023 18:07

@BB2818 That's my plan from now on. If I don't have any in the house I can't be tempted. It's so hard, especially working from home and they're constantly in reach!
Hope you're doing well after your BFP! Deciding whether to tell anyone is such a dilemma isn't it. We didn't on the last one but then still had to tell everyone that we had been expecting but weren't anymore. I think I've decided that if we do get pregnant again, we'll tell close friends cos having that support is so helpful. But it all comes down to what feels right.

BB2818 · 07/06/2023 17:14

@TTC12023 a long cycle is a good thing, although longer to wait either way. It might mean your LP is longer 🤞🏼

Had a rubbish 🤢 day. Not kept a thing down yet. I know this is a ‘good’ thing but I am soooo hungry 🤣

@JourneyToNumber2 the best/kindest thing I did for myself was not keeping any tests in the house. Each cycle I set myself a date of when I can test from 🙈. I wouldn’t buy any until then. It was usually around CD30 as I averaged 27-32 day cycles. Saved so many pennies 🙈

JourneyToNumber2 · 07/06/2023 08:30

@BB2818 thanks, I guess we're not out until AF arrives so I'll wait and see. Going to try and not test early this month but I always cave in!

@TTC12023 you could be right, although my temp rose this morning so hoping it stays high. Oh life is a constant stress, isn't it 😂We go on holiday in a couple of weeks so hoping that helps. I keep telling myself that if this month isn't the one, at least I can have cocktails round the pool. Got to find the positives somewhere!

@BB2818 I've never been pregnant so not sure what is do! My friend and family member who both had losses around the 10 week mark told everyone at 6 weeks because they found it harder to say they were and then weren't! I think it's such a delicate time that it would be nice to secret squirrel but understand why they did!
Small rise this morning but not the usual jump, I don't know what's going on 🤣 I might be in for a long cycle, they tend to happen every couple months! Or I'm having a slow rise which is unusual - best BD to make sure 🤣🤣😵‍💫🙈

BB2818 · 06/06/2023 22:02

@TTC12023 I am being a secretive squirrel. Latest loss was 10-11 weeks so going to wait until after the 12 week scan to be sure. Well trying. A very close friend guessed - we work together and knows the history. Had to tell my boss as had a couple of appointments - again knows the history. In some ways work is going to become very difficult so pleased I have some support. Other than them, you guys and DH 🤫.

I have had to tell a few cover stories for various reasons. I have been very 🤢 today so not sure how much longer I can 🤐🤣

@BB2818 🤣🤣 he definitely smells a rat, we've gone from a very average (for us!) 2-3 times a week, typically similar days to every other day from CD 8 🤣
I hope O is confirmed tomorrow morning otherwise I'll have to muster the energy in the morning 😵‍💫🤣😴 I'll be FUMING if it doesn't work this month with all the pre planning with preseed 🙈🙈
How are you feeling? Are you being secret squirrel until 12 weeks?

@JourneyToNumber2 sorry I can't be much help as I don't use OPKs but your chart seems to show that your body might have tried to O but failed, hence the unusual temps? My temps went a bit haywire when I had delayed O, are you under any stress this month? I've attached my chart from Jan for you 😊

@TTC12023 it only takes the once and you have managed four times before you were sussed out 🙌🏻🤣 the odds are in your favour 🤞🏼

@JourneyToNumber2 don’t give up hope. We were successful last cycle but can’t actually tell you for definite when I ovulated. My temperature was all over and don’t use ovulation tests. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼

JourneyToNumber2 · 06/06/2023 13:10

Hi everyone, I messaged on this thread a while ago but still no luck. This cycle is really annoying me as I'm on CD18 and still had no positive OPK. The premom app says that I had a high reading yesterday but no where near as high as normal. Do you reckon this could have been the peak as its dropped off today? My temp was all over the place in the middle of this cycle too. I've given up hope this month!
