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!

@Ttcmumma I am so glad that I seem to have an aversion to alcohol 😂its been really easy when going out to not feel a pang of sadness I can't have any but when I see family they will absolutely know due to my love of wine! They'll have their suspicions but hopefully keep it to themselves! I'm going to see my mum soon but shes a smoker and I'm worried about being in the house as she just smokes around me, only goes elsewhere when DH is around; I think I'm going to have to tell w lie to not go over which makes me sad!

@TTC12023 he has suspicions, last weekend he asked if im up the duff because I didn't want chocolate 😅 but my son was in the room and I kinda just freaked out so he left it at that, sometimes he randomly asks if I'm ok so I think he has an idea but he never knows when I'm due on 🤣 and my periods have only been about 3 days a month this year so it's quite easy for him to miss. Me being a nosey cow I would notice there not being pad wrappers in the bin etc but he's a typical man 🤣. My period should have come sometime between last week Thursday and this week Monday (cycle lengths varied a little this year). He's also been knackered and falling asleep before I finish putting little man to bed the last couple nights so we haven't had a massive amount time to speak anyway

TTC12023 · 10/08/2023 15:24

@Ttcmumma I really hope so! I can't believe you've not told him yet but I totally understand why you haven't. How 'late' are you, or is he not that in tune with your cycles?
I was planning on doing some cute reveal and all that actually happened was a shat myself a little that I was looking at two lines and thought I can't keep a secret long enough 😂

@TTC12023 hopefully in a few months time you'll either be regretting worrying about the lack of symptoms because you feel rubbish or laugh because you're on of the lucky ones who just has a smooth pregnancy haha.
Yeah id probably punch him too 🤣. I haven't even told my partner yet, not sure why... I guess if I don't say it outloud it wouldn't be so real if I did miscarry? Scary what losing a baby does to you because I was always just so chill and positive when finding out I'm pregnant in the past!

TTC12023 · 10/08/2023 15:03

@Ttcmumma Thanks for that - I know everyone is different I guess I just have nothing to compare it too and I have had three really close people to me have MMCs. I'm quite lonely I guess as DH doesn't want to tell anyone but every time I mention a concern he tells me to 'not stress' and 'relax' - might punch him is he says it again 😂

@TTC12023 can I just add hun that with my MMC I still had all my symptoms, my body still thought I was pregnant and didn't realise the baby's heart stopped beating so my belly continued to grow, I actually felt more rough than before the baby had died. Try not to worry, my friend had no clue she was pregnant for 4-5 months as she was on the pill, only had one tube etc she never really got symptoms. She just felt fed up when she was heavily pregnant in last year's heatwave but no symptoms the whole way through otherwise x

TTC12023 · 10/08/2023 14:55

@BB2818 I'm 6+4 based on O. I keep reading no symptoms is really normal but every board I'm on, everyone has symptoms, and strong ones! We're going to book an US for when I'm 8 weeks but I'm dreading it in case its a MMC. I know I should be positive and have have absolutely no reason to think that there is anything wrong, I just know its really common 😫

Just got my first epu scan booked for Monday 21st when I should be 6 weeks and 2 days by LMP or 6 weeks and 4 days going by my app and ovulation. Not sure if I'm relieved or shitting myself 😅.

I still have a fair bit of cramping on and off, bit of discharge, nausea and sore breasts. They absolutely killed yesterday. All 3 of my pregnancies have been different tho and even now the symptoms come and go alot

BB2818 · 10/08/2023 13:21

@TTC12023 with my DC pregnancy vitamins made my sickness worse. The GP prescribed me a pure folic acid tablet which helped.

How many weeks now? I had nausea from about week 4-5 but didn’t start being sick until a week or two later. Didn’t really have many symptoms until a few weeks later.

TTC12023 · 10/08/2023 10:09

@BB2818 @Ttcmumma how are you both getting on? I still have 0 symptoms! I'm starting to worry a little to be honest and I'm 99% sure the only time I do feel sick is because I've taken my pregnancy vits!

OP posts:
BB2818 · 09/08/2023 17:26

@Ttcmumma I think it’s a good idea to stop testing. You will end up with a dodgy test and then end up worrying even more. Be kind to yourself and try to relax 🙂

Ttcmumma · 08/08/2023 20:50

@BB2818 haha nah it's understandable, I double checked the box and everything because ive never seen the control line so light before lol. Yeah I may stop now tbh, I'm worried because of my previous MMC but I was 14 weeks then so what I think obsessively testing is going to help I don't know! Lol I've definitely had a fair few different brand tests confirm strong positives, dye stealer lh tests, 1-2 and then 2-3 weeks on clear blue. Think it's time to take back my sanity!

BB2818 · 08/08/2023 20:30

@Ttcmumma 🤣🤣 but now you think I am stupid 🙈. I only ever did the one digital that said 1-2 weeks. I did a couple more normal clear blue tests I had lying around then that was it.

mahii95 · 08/08/2023 18:55

Awww man maybe i need to do that on next cycle 🙈 just want AF to show up so I can start again 🙄 unless I get a positive with FMU tomorrow @BB2818

Ttcmumma · 08/08/2023 18:52

@BB2818 🤣 you thought I was stupid for a second didn't you. Yeah the control line was super faint and the test line was dark before it even finished. Stupidly I should have diluted my urine for the second test to check the difference but my morning brain wasn't working! Nah I haven't but I got digital 2-3 weeks yesterday so I'm assuming it's fine

BB2818 · 08/08/2023 18:48

@Ttcmumma I looked at the tests thinking what’s she on about being a dye stealer. Then I realised the control line is fainter 🤦🏼‍♀️. Have you tried another brand?

@TTC12023 I did BBT for about 5 weeks after then gradually stopped. Probably forgetting because of tiredness and sickness 🤢😴🤣.

@mahii95 have you any symptoms for AF? Nurse told me BBT is only accurate if you do it at the exact same time each day 🤪. I was setting my alarm for 6am even on a weekend 🙈

mahii95 · 08/08/2023 17:06

@Ttcmumma the second one looks dodgy I'd say but the first one is BFP..

Hi all.. what's your thoughts on my BBT chart? Had different start times at work this weeks last 3-4 mornings hence the different time measurements as shown.. however only by like 30-45mins.. Currently 14dpo.. AF is due tomorrow.. had some mild twinges but nothing much.. last tested at 9dpo and got a BFN? Reckon an early CB digital would be accurate day of AF is due? Planning to test tomorrow with FMU.

Ttcmumma · 08/08/2023 07:57

Ladies, are these dye stealers or dodgy tests?

Ttcmumma · 07/08/2023 14:59

@mahii95 hmm I'm not sure about the ewcm, did you bbt to confirm you ovulated the first time? Tho the dip in temperature and low lh, I would personally assume AF is on the way however you're not out until af shows 🤷🏼‍♀️

Just got a 2-3 weeks on clear blue test, so about right for one week ago giving me a 1-2 week, hoping that's a good sign for now. Got some twinges in my womb area today

mahii95 · 07/08/2023 14:24

I'm so confused.. I'm 13dpo and I've got egg white cervical mucus.. did ovulation test and came up as low.. so confused as usually it dries up before AF.. BBT plummeted down this morning.. the Femometer app assistant classed it as egg white CM when I uploaded a picture of it..

Bbt dropped this morning but no sign of AF yet..

Pictures attached.. sorry if TMI

@Ttcmumma @TTC12023 thank you both. Wishing you lots of luck in your pregnancies & beyond ☺️

Ttcmumma · 07/08/2023 08:12

Ordered another clear blue digital to come today as I feel like my symptoms have almost vanished for 2 days🤦🏼‍♀️ saying that I could cry for no reason at all so maybe just getting a break from the nausea and really sore boobs!
Anyway, as I'm getting due stealers on LH tests, do you think I still have to use morning urine for the clear blue? Don't want to wait till tomorrow but also don't want to waste it 😅

TTC12023 · 07/08/2023 07:20

@Ttcmumma @BB2818 I'm all good as well thank you! I was going to check in with you all today! Currently 28DPO 😝 with high BBT (I can't help but check!)
Still no real symptoms but I think they're getting stronger (unless it's in my head!)
Holding off booking an early scan as don't want to tempt fate but will book for 8 weeks if we do!
Currently 6+1 and I'm sure time has stopped 😵‍💫
@ReginaPhalange12 I'm sorry to hear AF arrived 🥺 you'll get there, we all thought it was impossible! I do know that when I really stopped overthinking it it happened, I still had an eye on things but not as much ❤️

OP posts:
Ttcmumma · 06/08/2023 20:33

@BB2818 just been doing ovulation sticks as it's all I have, they are dye stealers so I'm guessing a good thing! Trying to wait until I'm 5 weeks for another clear blue so I can hopefully get 3+. I have no reason to worry other than my previous loss. My doctor didn't seem overly worried about my high prolactin and said it was coming down but now they can't check as it'll increase in pregnancy anyway.

Glad you're doing well!

@ReginaPhalange12 sorry to hear you're out this month, but glad you're seeing the positives still!

ReginaPhalange12 · 06/08/2023 19:56

AF arrived this morning ☹️ 12DPO though so my LP seems to be increasing which I'm pleased about.
Good luck to everyone testing soon
