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!

@BB2818 I don't know I could get on board with that idea! You might have O'd a couple of day's later for it to show a lower reading? Do you just use OPK's or do you BBT aswell?

If they tried 21 day bloods on me they'd likely tell me I had an issue as I usually don't O until day 23 😝Sometimes I'm lucky and O at 19 (aren't I lucky!)
Makes the whole thing very long though, I'd much prefer a 'normal' cycle!

I like the smaller threads. It’s easy to get lost in the larger ones 🥰.

I am over thinking. If I have had two lots of 21 day bloods. First came back fine, second (this cycle) only a slight elevation maybe I ovulated later this cycle 🤷🏼‍♀️. Even though I do ovulate later than the ‘norm’ for my first lot to be fine and these only slightly. Maybe I am clutching a bit 🤪

@Babydustthisyear that does seem too early for implementation but like you say maybe you O'd early and the premom app didn't pick it up? I heard that the light can make a difference, although have no experience of it myself! I thought of doing OPKs as well as checking cervix as well as BBT seems like I'd get really stressed, but maybe that's where I'm going wrong! Although women managed before!

Hey @TTC12023 - Iv been spotting since 3 days after positive reading on clear blue but I'm wondering can I ovulate early with a low reading on premom? If so it could be implantation Iv no idea lol! Every month I'm like if only I had implantation it would be more clear to me before testing and turns out it's not 😂😂

Thanks for making the thread, Awww I like the threads with a few people sometimes when too many questions and worries can get lost, baby dust to you and everyone else on this thread 💕💕

@BB2818 @Ttcmumma fingers crossed for you both that you're late showers on the tests! Some people don't get + test until over 15DPO, i guess late implantation could cause that? 🤔Sickness would be a good sign @Ttcmumma , did you manage your cornflakes?!

@Babydustthisyear Does that mean you've had spotting since O dated by clear blue? Maybe it's bleeding from the egg being released? It must be really confusing, especially if you've never experienced it before.

I'm now 8DPO with a temp drop this morning, but not by much (0.6) any symptoms I thought I had have gone (aside from my tender nipples, but I get some level of that every month). DTD with DH usually triggers AF in the LP but thankfully it doesn't seem to have done this morning which I'm thankful for as an 8 day LP would be worrying! Starting to think I need to have a conversation with DH, although this is only cycle 3 so I'm probably worrying about nothing!

I'm so grateful to have you ladies to talk to! I've started treads before but no on has ever responded 😥 DH want's to keep things 'casual' but it's getting to me as I'm the only one planning the not planning 🙄

Secretly hoping my ovulation day was out. But I know AF is going to arrive at some point 🤦🏼‍♀️

Ttcmumma · 14/04/2023 09:09

@BB2818 honestly this TTC journey is stressful lol. With my son's pregnancy I had no idea but i was VERY hormonal I'm pretty sure my other half hated me at the time 😅. Then found out at hospital one day after af was due when they did the standard pee test before operation. My pregnancy last year I don't actually remember how I felt but I just knew and tested 4 days before AF and got bfp. Tho that ended in miscarriage so maybe I'm better to test positive later 🤷🏼‍♀️

I've seen a lot of people on here not have symptoms and get a bfp so the fact you're not spotting yet may be a good sign! I'm convinced I'm about to start any second 😅 but still very much within standard time frame if af comes anytime now or this weekend

BB2818 · 14/04/2023 09:01

@Ttcmumma I don’t really have any symptoms. When I have been pregnant in the past I have had extreme morning sickness - in fact that’s what has previously made me test.

I do spot for a few days before AF usually but haven’t yet. Which is unusual at cycle day 30 🤪

Ttcmumma · 14/04/2023 08:57

@BB2818 yep same! I think I can only be out by one day at most for my ovulation. My lh test peaked evening of cd15 and morning of cd16 my temp had risen and stayed risen. So my app says I ovulated cd15 but latest it could of been is cd16 I'd say. It's so annoying because I've had new symptoms this month, my nipples changed alot which has never happened. I'm also eating cereal right now and not throwing it up is a struggle yet my tests are stark white and I am convinced AF is coming 😅

BB2818 · 14/04/2023 08:55

@Ttcmumma I would like to think if I was pregnant it would show at 15dpo 🤷🏼‍♀️ unless I was out with ovulation 🤪

Ttcmumma · 14/04/2023 08:45

14dpo and still negative this morning too

BB2818 · 14/04/2023 08:30

Ok I caved in and bought a test last night. Tested first thing this morning and got a big fat negative. 15dpo and no sign of AF yet 😔

Babydustthisyear · 14/04/2023 05:22

@TTC12023 If I ovulated when the clear blue said I'm 5dpo but if I ovulated early I'm 9dpo. Light pink bleeding since Monday. I really hope it is. I'm just confused but I only use clear blue static smiley and I only used it to confirm with Premom. I don't even know when I could test, I'm going to leave it as long as possible. Here's hoping, but it dosent make the wait any easier 💕💕

Ttcmumma · 13/04/2023 21:59

@TTC12023 honestly think it's luck! When I got pregnant in October I only dtd twice the entire month 😅

@Babydustthisyear what DPO are you 'on' now? Could it be implantation bleeding maybe?

@BB2818 thank you. Yes definitely, I've been talking to someone on here who got negatives until she was one day late and felt like her period was coming. So we really aren't out unless AF shows. Excited to see a positive pregnancy test on this thread regardless of who it comes from! And if any of us get negatives this month then maybe a 2024 baby will be on the cards from next month 🤞🏻

Do either of you take pregnacare conception? I've never taken vitamins before pregnancy before, just once I know I'm pregnant. But due to losing the last pregnancy I was hoping to give a healthier start. Wondered if there are any better ones out there?

I don't take any supplements maybe that's where I'm going wrong! My SIL took them and it messed up her cycle so I'm a bit nervous about taking them, especially as it can be a bit heywire by itself!

@BB2818 it's interesting you've managed to extend you're LP I think I need to try and do that to me honest, or bring O forward somehow!!

@BB2818 thank you! I'm definitely out this month but I guess that's not completely true until AF shows up. I think I need to come up with a plan moving forward because clearly I'm not BD enough 🤭

@Ttcmumma like you say you're not out until AF shows up! Fingers crossed you're one of the late HPT testers 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Babydustthisyear · 13/04/2023 21:31

Hey @TTC12023 I think I'm the same as you I was due to ovulate cycle day 14 I used premom strips and clear blue and DtD every other day and on what I thought I was 3dpo I have had light bleeding, for past 3 days period not due until 23rd. Very confused I must have ovulated earlier even though I track it. I also noticed on my flo app my last cycle was 26 days when normally 27/28

Someone mentioned ovulation bleeding never had it in my life so don't think that's it. Im having period like cramps.

BB2818 · 13/04/2023 19:35

🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

I take folic acid and conceive plus ovulation. Since taking the conceive plus my cycles have been more regular and my luteal phase is more like 11/12 days rather than 7-12 days. Also AF is less painful.

BB2818 · 13/04/2023 19:07

@Ttcmumma sorry about your loss. Positive thoughts, hopefully at least one of us (if not all three of us in the group) get a positive pregnancy test this cycle 🤞🏼

Ttcmumma · 13/04/2023 18:38

@BB2818 well my app says I ovulated on cd15 but I didn't get a peak result in the morning, I got one around 9pm that night. Tho my temp did increase on cd16 and stay up so according to that I am 13dpo so I'm not really expecting to get a positive anymore. Just hoping for a miracle! I'm on cd28 at the moment. My 3 cycles since miscarriage have been 36 days (this was from miscarriage bleed so expected to be longer), 30 days and 28 days. I'm sure AF is going to come anyday now but not giving up until it does 😅

BB2818 · 13/04/2023 18:02

@TTC12023 Here to vent if you need to. It’s such an emotional rollercoaster.

This is unknown territory for me. I have previously had no issues conceiving, it’s been keeping a pregnancy that’s been the issue. I have almost been a year since my latest miscarriage.

I am convinced my cycle is just a bit off it because I had Covid at the beginning of this cycle. Trying not to get my hopes up incase AF arrives.

@Ttcmumma how many dpo are you?

Ttcmumma · 13/04/2023 14:12

@TTC12023 still negative, not going to 100% count myself out until af comes but I do have very sore boobs, cramping definitely feels like AF is coming and feel really sick today. The way my cramping feels I would usually start af the next day/two days later at most and natural cycles predicts af to come tomorrow so I think I might be out this month. Should know in the next day or two
