TWW - Short(ish) LP

513 replies

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!

Well ladies I think I'm out 😞 I'm not sure if I feel sad or not; I think I do. I know we're not out until AF shows but temp dropped this morning and stark white on a dip test with FMU, my only chance is that the test wasn't sensitive enough I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️ I used boots own which are 25mIU/mL (I think). So confusing though as I'm 3 days 'late' but logically know that sometimes it doesn't happen until 14DPO 😩
Just looking for a hand hold I think.....

@TTC12023 I know even though I have a faint line I'm still like is it real am I really pregnant lol I think it won't feel real until I get positive on digital then il relax a little lol

@BB2818 thank you I have watched all of the threads past few months and my journey has not been long at all this as cycle 4 for us but it felt longer, I'm sending all the positive vibes. Xx

BB2818 · 18/04/2023 18:58

@Babydustthisyear omg I'm getting headaches! So unusual for me as well because I drink so much water - frequent peeing but so totally normal for me!

I felt really odd yesterday but feel fine today although hungry - again an AF symptom 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️. The other odd symptom I have is tingling nipples, it's to oddest sensation but comes and goes.

I wish AF would hurry up or someone could look in to the future for me 🤣

Welcoming all the symptoms I won't be complaining at all!

Babydustthisyear · 18/04/2023 15:09

@TTC12023 aghhhhh the suspense lol I know drives me crazy I got AF symptoms last week when I knew it was too early, they have stopped now, my symptoms have been frequent needing to wee, constipation (sorry) and today it's headaches with feeling a little off (lightheaded) 🙈

@Babydustthisyear my gut told me to test yesterday I just couldn't bring myself to! My body tells me AF is on her way today but temp says different. WHY are the symptoms the same 🫠
I'll wait it out until FMU tomorrow on a FRER but knowing me I'll still chicken out 🫣

@Ttcmumma I'm shaking so hard not to get super excited Iv never had a hint of a line before 🙈🙈

Ttcmumma · 18/04/2023 11:17

@Babydustthisyear ohh yayy!! Cheapie tests tend to be less sensitive so that's amazing you're getting a line. Digitals are really not all that sensitive and usually take a while to pick up so not surprised

Babydustthisyear · 18/04/2023 11:16

Hey everyone I have got a very faint line on a cheapie Hcg test 🙈🙈 I did a clear blue it said not pregnant but I'm assuming that's because hcg is still low 🙈🙈

@Ttcmumma @BB2818 still holding out and still no AF but some cramps today 😑
Have spoken to DH (finally) about it and he's trying to get me test Friday 🫣😱🤯

Ttcmumma · 17/04/2023 20:14

@BB2818 yes let's definitely keep this thread going. I believe we will all get our positives before too long and I'd love to see the journey. The closer together we all get them the better as then we could come back sometimes to update on baby bumps! Definitely hoping for positive from the other two very very soon. I can't wait for Wednesday I don't know how @TTC12023 is waiting 🤣

BB2818 · 17/04/2023 20:11

@TTC12023 It’s hard to know when to test with short LP. Keep us posted 🤞🏼

Still spotting today. I know that means AF will start today or tomorrow. I had a little last night. But onto the next cycle.

Are we keeping the thread going? Hoping to see some positives shortly @TTC12023 and @Babydustthisyear 🙌🏻

Hopefully our turn next cycle @Ttcmumma 🤞🏼

Babydustthisyear · 17/04/2023 13:00

@TTC12023 aghhhh Good Luck 💕💕 I will keep yous posted 💕💕

Good luck @Babydustthisyear !

I'm 'technically' late today but chickened out of testing! 😂

Ohh goodluck @Babydustthisyear !

Babydustthisyear · 17/04/2023 12:24

@TTC12023 thanks for checking in I'm hanging in here lol I have been feeling so frustrated but I know nothing I can do until AF is late. I have been spotting from Tuesday and it stopped yesterday. AF is due Sunday no other symptoms yet. Last week I had a lot of dull cramps and a little mood swings yesterday lol, it's been the spotting that has bothered me as it's not my normal, I spot like 2 days before AF so I am questioning everything lol.

@Ttcmumma part of me want's to leave you behind and part of me want's to stay and support!

@Babydustthisyear how are you getting on?

OP posts:
Ttcmumma · 17/04/2023 10:38

Worst case we will all be in it again together next month! Hoping you leave us behind tho haha

@Ttcmumma I think because I was burnt the past two months thinking I was pregnant and tests were white as anything! Usually AF turns up the day my temp drops (very helpful actually!) but not always!

I'm optimistic but trying to keep a lid on it as I don't want to be overly disappointed

OP posts:
Ttcmumma · 17/04/2023 10:05

@TTC12023 ohh I dont know how you are managing to wait I was testing everyday like a mad woman 🤣🤣. A lot of people on other threads who got their bfps actually had no symptoms so maybe it's a good sign! I had loads of symptoms plus new ones I've never ever had before and clearly it meant nothing lol. Temp dropping sucks but who knows it may even increase again tomorrow! My temp doesn't drop until af has already arrived so really likes to mess with me 😅 got everything crossed that we will get a pic of your bfp on Wednesday x

@Ttcmumma I'm sorry you're feeling sad today, it must be heartbreaking and I can only imagine how you're feeling 💐

I was going to test this morning but chickened out 😂I didn't want to see a negative and waste a test tbh! 11DPO today which, as I mentioned up thread, has happened only once in 10 months of tracking but I have also had a 12 day LP. My official stats in NC show me a 11+-1, so could be later today/tomorrow. I was planning on testing tomorrow but in the office so will leave until Wednesday if AF doesn't show - feels like a lifetime away! I have NO symptoms though (aside from that niggly ache yesterday all day), I'm pretty sure I'm out. My temp dropped today but only to 36.82, history shows AF shows up in the 36.70s 🙄

I'm trying to be calm but anxious at the same time!

Ttcmumma · 17/04/2023 08:59

Sadness is setting in today 😔 little ones back at school, AF reminds me that I should have been about 3 months from meeting my baby by now & another failed/wasted month 😔.

How you getting on @TTC12023 hoping you are the one to get a positive!!
