TWW - Short(ish) LP

Sorry I think I tagged the wrong user.. @Ttcmumma @TTC12023

Hi, @TTC12023 did you test again? Sending baby dust ✨

@Ttcmumma all our losses have been before 11 weeks. I just kept setting little goals… I need to get to the early scan, need to get to 11 weeks, 12 week scan, telling family, etc. Actually telling people made me feel a bit better as their happiness and excitement for us kept me going.

I know it doesn’t guarantee it will plain sailing and I still often feel anxious. Especially when I am being scanned. I have had more bad news from them than good so I suppose that’s understandable.

If you are having bloods done anyway call up and ask them to test your HCG levels at the same time. It will only be an extra tube of blood.

For a week or two I think I'm going to just try and forget in a sense 😅 just to keep myself as relaxed as possible. I have blood work booked for Tuesday as my prolactin is high and they need to check that... Maybe I can mention to them then so they can check my HCG and incase my high prolactin causes miscarriage they may want to treat sooner. Omg I'm going to have to call them asap aren't I 😅. Yeah epu told me last time if I fall pregnant again then contact for an early scan, problem is I don't trust the scans. Last year I had a private scan at 10 weeks and 2 days tho found out baby measured 10 weeks 5 days, strong heart beat etc. When I went for my NHS scan at 13 weeks 2 days, they said the baby died at 10 weeks 6 days by size. So the baby died the day after I reassured myself with the private scan!! So honestly I don't think they'll ever relax me anymore 😅 the baby looked absolutely fine and super active so I was so convinced all was well. The likelihood of that happening again tho is slim surely 🤦🏼‍♀️

Try and stay positive and keep yourself busy. Be kind to yourself.

Contact GP as if you have a history of losses you will be able to get an early scan. I had been referred for one and then had a bleed a couple of days later. 2 scans later baby is growing nicely. I’m still incredibly anxious. But think of every symptom as a blessing 🤢🤣

@BB2818 thank you! They've dried alot darker, I know it's past the time limit now but considering there was a pink line to begin with I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant. Just don't know how to feel as I know it doesn't guarantee a baby!! I just put in my natural cycles app that I got a positive and it's saying I'm only 3 weeks and 3 days pregnant so it's ridiculously early!

I am feeling very hopeful for you and keeping everything crossed.

I did my first test on the 17th May but going by due date I wasn’t 4 weeks until 20th May. but with the shorter luteal phase on the 17th I was already late for AF. I didn’t get a strong/dark line until almost 5 weeks.

I've ordered clear blue to come before 1pm, it often comes early like 8am so I'll try store my pee haha. Or wait till the next day. I'm so shocked!!! My period isn't even due for atleast another 4 days so I'm not going to get excited just incase 😳

Oh my goodness! So excited for you. Test again in the morning - they say it’s better to test first thing 😃

Sorry forgot to tag @BB2818

The first pic I sent was basically instant, attached now is the pic now. 5-10 mins later and I done a second one which is currently like the first pic I sent but slowly darkening as I type

@mahii95 I didn’t know that was a thing. Tempted to try with left over ovulation strips 🙈

@Ttcmumma I can definitely see a line! Did it show up within the timeframe? So exciting 😃

Can you see this or have I lost my mind...

@Ttcmumma fingers crossed.. 🤞 sending baby dust ✨ let us know how you get on.. I'm 5dpo and the TWW is dragging 🙄

@mahii95 yes I've heard this before which makes me suspicious! I'm around 10dpo now if I did ovulate the first time. Everything has felt as tho I did the first time and I've had some sharp pains/twinges in my womb area. I'm also a little cranky (I was a top notch bitch when first pregnant with my son😅). But I won't get my hopes up incase i did just fail to ovulate the first time! Might try quickly order some hcg and lh tests so I can see what's going on x

@Ttcmumma it could be that you're pregnant if you're around 9/10dpo as I got a peak on OPK and positive on HPT with my DS. However can I add that I tested when I was late..

@Ttcmumma Get dtd! Fingers crossed and sending some baby dust your way. Hopefully this is your cycle 🥰

@BB2818 nah, I bbted for months which kind of confirmed I tend to ovulate first time. Never had a second positive before. Maybe the high prolactin causing issues. Will have to jump on my other half tonight and see what happens lol

@Ttcmumma I was experiencing this last Summer. Nurse told me that you get an LH surge as your body prepares to ovulate not when you actually ovulate. Obviously I am no expert but it could be your body didn’t ovulate the first time. Have you had bloods done to check ovulation?

Sorry should app I'm now on cd23! So it's been more than 10 days since my last positive

Hey guys, this is my second peak this month. I annoyingly haven't been doing bbt as my sleep patterns are a bit trash. But I already got positive strips on cd11 and cd12 which align to my currently 27 day cycle quite well. My app confirmed this is another positive. How likely do we think it is that I didn't ovulate the first time? (Never happened before) or do I need to order a pregnancy test? 😳

@TTC12023 how are you?

No hun.. no contraception whatsoever.. my cycles messed up so much after covid vaccines.. went from regular 30-32 days to 80+ days.. they are
Somewhat regular since January- like 42-49ish days.. so between 6-7weeks which are so much better xx

@TTC12023 Yes call. Your HCG levels will probably be low with you being so early so they will repeat. Mine were something like 25. I got all worried and bought a load of pregnancy tests but it had more than tripled when they repeated 2 days later.

@mahii95 have you been on contraception? It can take some time to adjust after being on.
