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 Think I should call the GP then? According to my O date I'm only 4+3 which is why I think I don't have any symptoms! Occasional waves of nausea but thing it's in my head 😂

@TTC12023 I think doing bloods to confirm a pregnancy is quite standard. They will probably do too lots a few days apart to make sure HCG is rising.

@mahii95 never out until AF arrives. Sperm can survive up to 5 days. How long have you been TTC?

I'm after a bit of advice.. I tested for ovulation yesterday and got a peak on fermometer digital OPK ( ++) . However got a low result on CB digital OPK (circle) so I assumed the CB test isnt sensitive enough..

We had guests round all day and managed to DTD just after midnight last night.

I tested again this morning and got a low result on Femometer now as well.. :-(

Today is showing as ovulation day according to the App and had a BBT dip this morning..

Can somebody advise if I have a chance in TTC this month or have I missed my window.

I've attached some images FYI.

Thank you

@BB2818 @Ttcmumma I don't think they're likely to run any tests as I have no history of anything, I guess I was just expecting to feel 'more' - if that makes any sense!

I have some vits, DH and I went and picked some up from the stores yesterday. I know I can either self refer or be referred in my area but holding off until next week. Such a strange feeling expecting AF to turn up and thinking those lines are false positives 🙈🙈🙈

@TTC12023 contact your GP ask them to run bloods to confirm. Depending on your area you self refer to midwife. Your GP should be able to give you a link to do that.

I don’t think I had any/many symptoms for about a week/week and half after my positive test this time. In the past I have been sick/nauseous before a positive test 🙈

Ttcmumma · 24/07/2023 21:01

Oh and if you wish to take pregnancy vitamins, go get em! X

Ttcmumma · 24/07/2023 21:01

@TTC12023 haha next step is usually just rolling with it for abit then contacting doctors to be referred to the midwives etc for booking in x

@BB2818 🫣
I did another about 40 mins later just to double check 🫣🫣 line still there. DH won't let me do any more until maybe next week 😩
I don't even 'feel' pregnant, so much so I'm worried that it's not real! I have 0 symptoms, not even sore boobs! I had a funny turn last night but think that was tiredness and too much booze 🙈 of the weekend!
I honestly am in a state of shock and not sure what to do 🥺

@Ttcmumma sorry 😔 hope you are ok?

@TTC12023 I’m ok thank you. Had my 12 week scan. Baby coming along nicely. Will start to tell people over the next week or so. Just got a few family events/parties so will wait until after then to not take the limelight away. It all feels very real now. Still very 🤢 but doing ok. How are you?

@Ttcmumma I'm sorry! Do you think you missed your peak? The docs sent me for another blood test as they think I have an 'aggravated disc' and are getting me to pop pills which I'm not comfortable with!

I've just gone in to TTW I think but BBT not yet confirmed it. Think I O'd Saturday as temp dropped nicely on Friday morning but didn't take BBT on Saturday as had been at a wake on Friday - many many drinks were consumed 😂

Temp high on Sunday morning but when adjusted for the late wake up time, it's up but now up/up, only at 36.62 which is a low rise for me, I normally jump to 36.8(ish), same this morning - trying not to get my hopes up as I know some have a slow rise when conception occurs.... god what are we like?!

@BB2818 how are you getting on?

Out again, cd27 AF suddenly appeared. What's even the point anymore 🙄

Ttcmumma · 05/07/2023 07:42

My bodies having a field day this month, cd25 and lh still hasn't settled or peaked lol

Ttcmumma · 04/07/2023 12:51

@TTC12023 fingers crossed we at the very least get answers soon then! I'm cd24 of a usually 30 day cycle but last month's was 27 days. Not entirely sure if I ovulated or not but hey ho! Will see if AF arrives, I'm sure it will in a week or slightly less lol

@Ttcmumma I also had bloods this morning but for this chronic back pain I've been experiencing! They said sciatica but I'm not convinced, I think it's those blasted pregnancare tablets!

OP posts:
Ttcmumma · 04/07/2023 12:30

It's tough isn't it! I'm on month 16 with a break for the baby I had a MMC at 14 weeks in-between. Just had my bloods for potentially high prolactin levels this morning so awaiting those results in a week or so to see if I can even concieve

Hi Ladies!

Sorry to hear you're feeling rough @BB2818 bt very happy for you that bub is cooking nicely!

I'm with @Ttcmumma trying not to focus too much, O is due this week at some point but not doing SMEP again, was too tiring and miss crucial days! Will try a bit more actively this week but I've put it in the too hard box now and what will be will be!

I honestly (perhaps naively) did not expect me to be on month 7!

OP posts:
BB2818 · 01/07/2023 06:43

I haven’t had a diagnosis of it but not sure how it can’t be. I did have it with my DC. I have been admitted twice so far. I think I remember it easing off around 16 weeks but started again later on.

I am so grateful so trying not to complain too much… unless it means DH does the food shopping, taxiing DC around and house work 🙌🏻🤣

It is getting quite difficult to keep it a secret. I think when we tell people they will be like “we thought…” 🤦🏼‍♀️. I have my 12 week scan in a couple of weeks so trying to hold out until then.

I can’t say anything specific worked for us. Other than it’s just typical as we were both having checks/tests and then it happened 🙈

Ttcmumma · 30/06/2023 21:30

@BB2818 ah so sorry to hear you're so rough! Is it hyperemesis then? Because that's surely not your standard morning sickness. My best friend had it and god it was tough for her. Really hope you get past this stage soon and really glad baby is cooking well atleast!! It'll all be worth it in the end, stay hydrated.

I'm ok, trying not to focus on TTC too tough, just doing it and aiming for ovulation but not forcing it 🤷🏼‍♀️ xx

BB2818 · 30/06/2023 19:05

Sorry ladies I haven’t been too well. I have lost 8lb so far with sickness. I don’t think I will last another few days without another drip. The sickness medication makes me dizzy - doesn’t help my blood pressure is quite low. Then as it wares off I am just sick.

I had an early scan last week. Baby cooking nicely thought so the sickness is a good sign, always a positive somewhere.

How are you all?
