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 have you tested again? I am ok thank you 🙂

Ttcmumma · 06/08/2023 19:08

@BB2818 anxious as can be 😅 how are you?

BB2818 · 06/08/2023 18:45

How is everyone?

ReginaPhalange12 · 04/08/2023 17:21

@TTC12023 you're right, I just need to be patient.

@BB2818 this is cycle 1 TTC, I have DC4 & getting very conscious of the gap & my age. I also had an ectopic in 2018, thankfully treated without losing my tube but it weighs on my mind. If we're not lucky enough to get a BFP this month then I'm hopefully more relaxed than I have been so far as I know there could be a long road ahead 🤦🏽‍♀️

BB2818 · 04/08/2023 16:01

@mahii95 this is my second DC too. Will be an 8 year gap🙈. I had an ectopic pregnancy before my DC, another after. And two early miscarriages. We haven’t been TTC for the last few years. Actively TTC for just over a year. We found out I was pregnant this time a year to the week of our last miscarriage. It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster but it will happen for you 🙂

@ReginaPhalange12 @mahii95 i don’t think it’s uncommon with a usual 14 day cycle to only get a faint positive on the day AF is due. It’s even more complicated when you have short luteal phase or irregular cycles. Don’t count yourself out until AF arrives 🤞🏼

How long have you both been TTC?

@BB2818 thank you that's given me some hope..

This is only my second month of TTC 2nd child.. I understand it can take a while and I'm 28 this month so I get that I have a chance and time yet but just wish my BFP would hurry up 🥺 x

I also got a BFN last night with my last urine of the at 9DPO after a 2-3hr hold..

10dpo today and daren't test again as it was so disheartening 🥺

I genuinely thought I'd have shown something cause I thought I had implanted at 6dpo due to a BBT dip and some spotting late 6dpo..

Going to hold off testing till AF is due at 14dpo now unless AF shows up

@ReginaPhalange12 You might just be too early, I only implanted at 8DPO (I had a one day dip in my BBT) and I wouldn't have shown up on a test at 10DPO; if you have a short LP then see how you get on in a couple of days ❤

ReginaPhalange12 · 04/08/2023 11:18

Today I am 10DPO, AF due to start today but nothing yet although it usually happens later in the day. BFN on IC and Sainsburys test so not feeling too confident.

Hope everyone is getting on OK

mahii95 · 03/08/2023 20:29

@Ttcmumma Yeah they are I got a static smiley when I tested with my first born but I did test when I was 10 days late 😬

I don't know I've not really paid attention to my CM before but been searching and reading into it more now that I'm actively TTC

Ttcmumma · 03/08/2023 20:19

I have no pregnancy tests in the house and was curious if the lh tests really are good at detecting hcg and they really are 😅

@mahii95 looks similar to be honest, is it different for you than usual? X

mahii95 · 03/08/2023 14:10

Sorry if it's TMI 🥴 but it looks like this and very small amounts each time I check x

@Ttcmumma mine is quiet dry? Reckon i still have a chance for BFP? I'm 9dpo today x

Ttcmumma · 03/08/2023 13:47

@mahii95 surprisingly more dry than usual but what I did have was thicker than usual x

mahii95 · 03/08/2023 13:43

Hi ladies.. I'm wondering about cervical mucus? What was your CM like before you got your BFP? Mine seems to be quite dry which makes me think AF is on her way 🥺

Ttcmumma · 02/08/2023 17:02

Thanks ladies! I'm abit achey in my lower belly and lower back (back mostly just when I've done alot and to be fair I have scoliosis) boobs are quite sore, sickness isn't too bad today. Haven't bothered testing again today, might get another digital for next week if AF definitely stays away but hopefully all is fine x

TTC12023 · 02/08/2023 14:26

@Ttcmumma I had a bit of 'pulling' and a very dull ache on the day I tested and maybe once since for 30 mins but nothing I could massively put my finger on IYSWIM. I am more 'aware' of that area but I've had no cramping personally.

Did my digital this morning and got a 3+ which made me happy 🙂

I'm sure all is OK ❤

BB2818 · 02/08/2023 07:57

@Ttcmumma I did in the first few weeks and lower back ache. Apparently it’s quite common as you’re beginning to stretch and change. Early pregnancy and AF symptoms are quite similar, which doesn’t help when you are feeling anxious 😔

ReginaPhalange12 · 01/08/2023 22:11

@Ttcmumma I was just about to come on & write this exact thing. It definitely feels like AF cramps, not cramping I've had with ovulation or even cramping I felt a couple of days ago. I know it's not over until AF arrives but I'm feeling so deflated tonight

Ttcmumma · 01/08/2023 21:56

@BB2818 did you have any cramping at all? My belly feels abit like AF is coming and it's worrying me as I'd be due sometime in the next few days x

BB2818 · 01/08/2023 21:06

@TTC12023 if it helps my clear but faint line did not become any darker when I had a miscarriage last year. Never got a dye stealer. So that’s a positive that you are getting much darker lines 🥰

@Ttcmumma I had my DC at 22 and still had awful morning sickness (or all the frigging time sickness). Would love to be one of those women that just pop out a baby on the toilet and didn’t even know they were pregnant 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣

@Ttcmumma nope, I'm 33 🤣
I'm sure everything is fine, I'm just worrying! Got a dye stealer this evening but I also know that it doesn't mean everything is 'OK'
It's so frustrating that my GP literally couldn't care less and just told me to self refer 🙈🙈

@ReginaPhalange12 haha DW we all do it! Thank you 😊 fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻
