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 waiting 10DPO is the sensible thing to do... will I do that? Doubtful 😂🤦🏽‍♀️ I work from home so the tests are right there!!
Congratulations on your BFP

@TTC12023 super unlikely, youre probably just one of the lucky ones 😅. Are you young? I was pregnant at 21 with my first and found it much easier and less symptomatic haha, not that im old now, just feel like it's actually kinder to your body the younger you are

TTC12023 · 01/08/2023 18:40

@Ttcmumma it's honestly the strangest thing that I have no symptoms, I don't even feel bloated anymore 😵‍💫
Just have to wait and see I guess! Trust that my body is doing what it's supposed to do; or I've have 4 dodgy tests (unlikely!) 🤣

Hey @ReginaPhalange12 i start anytime from 6dpo haha, my positive this time was 10dpo onwards but I hadn't tested in a couple days prior to it, I doubt I would have got a positive on 8dpo with the lightness I got at 10dpo x

ReginaPhalange12 · 01/08/2023 17:55

Hi everyone, hope it's ok to join. I am 8DPO, AF due in a few days. I have a shorter luteal phase (around 10/11 days). Took a test today & stark white BFN, I was hoping as AF was due soon I'd have a faint line. When do you all test if you have a shorter LP?
Sending baby dust to all ✨

Ttcmumma · 01/08/2023 12:28

@BB2818 oh god that's so rubbish, I guess if it had stopped for more than a few days you'd worry then, but also you're in the second trimester now so hopefully it eases off for you! This is supposed to be the easy trimester haha. I doubt it'll work as you seem quite bad with it but I find chewing gum before I even get out my bed and anytime I get nauseas to be white helpful. I learnt that in my last pregnancy because I just couldn't get my son to school I felt so sick. A glass of coke and a chewing gum worked a treat! Tho I'm scared to do the glass of coke this time incase my caffeine is too high so I'll be sticking to just gum unless I can't cope lol. ATM im very sicky in the morning but then just nauseas/no appetite all day x

BB2818 · 01/08/2023 12:07

@mahii95 anything can effect your BBT different sleep patterns, drinking alcohol, illness. I can’t say there is a best way. We had barely DTD the month we conceived. I had just had months of blood tests trying to figure out when I ovulate and DH was booked in for checks the week after I got our positive pregnancy test 🙈.

@Ttcmumma The frustrating thing is there is no pattern to it. I can go a few days just feeling nauseous and not been or barely being sick. Other days it’s constant. Sometimes it’s stuck to the morning other times it’s through the night. I tend to have more control if I have slept better and not rushed getting up for work etc.

When I went in for my last drip they asked how many times I had been sick so far that day. I‘m like I have had 6 episodes but the first one I threw up at least 10 times in a row 🤷🏼‍♀️. The cyclizine injection is good stuff but very painful when they administer 😬

Ttcmumma · 01/08/2023 10:53

@mahii95 it very much so could be the cause!

mahii95 · 01/08/2023 10:50

Well, this morning I got up 1hr 15 earlier than usual and woke up 2 hours beforehand for a few minutes due to husband's snoring 😵‍💫🥴 so I'm hoping that's why it was lower than I hoped.. reckon that'll have any to do with it ? @Ttcmumma

Ttcmumma · 01/08/2023 10:41

@mahii95 I see what you mean, it doesn't seem to have risen alot. Did your app confirm ovulation? Also are you very strict with doing the bbt, so same time every morning with atleast 4 hours of sleep and doing your temp before absolutely anything else, even before talking getting out of bed etc? I found it difficult with my son waking me etc in the night and not always waking the same time it was sometimes hard to see the change. The bleeding and timing seems hopeful tho! I'd say give it another couple days to see if hcg rises and then test x

mahii95 · 01/08/2023 10:36

@Ttcmumma that's reassuring.. I've started BBTing since last month.. I've attached my chart.. let me know your thoughts

TWW - Short(ish) LP
Ttcmumma · 01/08/2023 10:30

@BB2818 oh bless, that's hard. With my son I remember vomitting on myself whilst driving 🤣 it was once in a while I was sick and think it stopped by 16 weeks. My last pregnancy it stopped around 11 weeks but then went on to find out that's roughly when the baby died so I guess hold onto hope for the fact you're still sick!!

@mahii95 I don't think there's a too low temp as long as it's a rise for you, I've had over 37 degrees before and not been pregnant so it's hard to say, everyone's different. I didn't bbt this time. Has it increased since before ovulation?

mahii95 · 01/08/2023 10:23

However *

mahii95 · 01/08/2023 10:23

Thank you ladies..

@BB2818 my luteal phase lasts about 13-14 days I believe.

How I'm concerned about my BBT as it's incredibly low for a luteal phase.. was 36.31 (6dpo) yesterday and 36.43 (7dpo) today..

Isn't that too low for LP?

BB2818 · 01/08/2023 10:18

@mahii95 I have bled in every pregnancy. I don’t have experience of a light implantation bleed. I assume that’s what it should look like. Do you have short luteal phases?

@Ttcmumma I am struggling with brushing teeth full stop. 99% of the time it makes me vomit. Then all I want to do is brush my teeth again. In a never ending vicious cycle. Everyone tries telling me that sickness should ease off around 12 weeks. 14 weeks and 🤢 still going strong 🤦🏼‍♀️

Ttcmumma · 01/08/2023 10:00

Omg and I didn't upload the picture, there's no way I already have baby brain 🤣

Not even 4 weeks sorry lol

Ttcmumma · 01/08/2023 09:53

@TTC12023 I love how different we all are. I'm over here paranoid because I'm not even 3 weeks yet and I feel sick 🤢, I cannot brush my tongue when I brush my teeth overwise it's game over lol. But I'm paranoid because I don't remember having symptoms super early with my living son, but with my MMC I had symptoms before my missed period too. I haven't even missed my period yet 🤦🏼‍♀️ but hoping it's irrelevant and was just bad luck last time! I'll attach a pic of my test today, it's got pretty dark already lol

@mahii95 ohhh I've never had implantation bleeding, but I would definitely think that's what that is! Especially considering the timing. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

mahii95 · 01/08/2023 08:45

Hi all 7dpo today.. had a bit of spotting late last night.. at 6dpo around 11.25pm.. what do you all think? Implantation or not enough? Nothing since Pictures attached.. sorry if TMI 😬🥴

TTC12023 · 01/08/2023 08:43

@Ttcmumma so exciting! I'm away for a week or so with work so will be picking up my own digital at some point as DH can't stop me from taking it  fingers crossed mine say 3+ - although really scared to do it in case it doesn't! I have no reason to be anxious but I am 🙈 last test I did was lunchtime(ish) on Saturday and it was a dye stealer, I'm sure everything is fine it's just so disconcerting with no symptoms!!

@BB2818 yes we're planning on going for an early scan, I know I'm a week behind my LMP dating so holding out until W/C 14th as I'll be in my 7th week - I don't want to go to early and then stress because something isn't showing quite right 🙈🙈

I'm so happy to be on the journey with you ladies 😊!

@mahii95 yeah I think so! I got a positive LH on the 18th (as dark as the control line) and a super strong positive on the 19th (darker than the control line) so my app predicts I ovulated on the 20th Which would be about 11dpo right? I keep counting it wrong 🤣. Dtd on the 19th only x

mahii95 · 31/07/2023 18:09

Ttcmumma · 31/07/2023 16:59

Yep, digital agrees! Booked in for bloods tomorrow but annoyingly can't speak to a doctor until Friday 🤦🏼‍♀️ but atleast the balls rolling to keep an eye on this one 🤞

Wooo congratulations @Ttcmumma how many dpo are you when testing on a digital? 11dpo? X

BB2818 · 31/07/2023 17:43

@Ttcmumma yay! Congratulations super please for you. Look after yourself 🥰

@TTC12023 @Ttcmumma and look at us all now. So exciting.

@TTC12023 will you have an early private scan? Its self referral in my area was seen by midwife at 7 weeks. I was referred for early scan but ended up with one anyway when I had a bleed. So far they have been so good. Much better than when I had DC.

@Ttcmumma did you test again?
