Think I'm now in my TWW at 1DPO!
Anyone care to join me? 😁
I'm on 1st cycle TTC DC1 💕 Not done anything to track except apps this time but fairly convinced my Flo app was pretty accurate so 🤞

@DarkCrystal85 I can't believe it! I'm so happy but now anxious about everything 😂 need to call my doctors! Currently no real symptoms, sore boobs but that happens every month from ov to AF, and last night I felt a bit crampy. Today I'm just stressing 😂 absolutely thrilled but work in a profession where there's so many risks so I've asked for a risk assessment tomorrow.

Oh UFOs sound interesting though, I'd love to know what you were up to 😅
Oh yeah i refused to test until my missed period so I was due on Saturday and tested today! Which is 13dpo. Don't upset yourself testing at 6dpo, not worth it! Hope you can hang on til 12dpo 💕

Omg congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
Looks like the supplements did work 💕

I'm sorry it's been crazy mad here with birthdays and parties and colds and bugs and then I was randomly on the local news cos of my UFO investigator side... Craaaaazy.

How are you feeling?

I'm 6dpo today but darent pee on a stick yet, I've had 4 chemicals since my loss in Feb and I'm so scared now I will try and wait till day 12... I know I will probably be there at day 8 again but trying hard not to haha xx

Oh bless you @DarkCrystal85 , I'm sorry about the chemical 😔
Hopefully you'll catch donor at the right times again this month! Sounds like you've got pretty good coverage there.
Hope you have a lovely weekend with your daughter!

I'm good, I didn't have any bleeding between AF and ov this month so that's a good start. Ov was a bit delayed at CD18, didn't quite catch the day but have 2, 4 and 5 days before and day after, so hopefully caught it enough at least. Temps haven't risen as much as they usually do so hoping that my progesterone is more stable and slow burning instead of surfing and running out early 😂 dunno if that's how it works. But currently 4dpo so still have a while to wait.

Hi @Hotmalibu94 thankyou for checking in, I'm doing ok, it was a chemical as the bleeding lasted so much longer than normal and the pains were very familiar. I'm day 13 of cycle now and my ovulation hasn't hit peak yet or even started to rise which it usually would by now but we saw donor last night, will see again tomorrow (day 14) and then on Monday (day 17) as it's a busy weekend with a party for my daughters 4th birthday and a lot going on haha. Hoping the sticks do something over next couple of days. I'm ok, I keep telling myself a chemical loss is my bodies way of not letting me go through another 3 month or later loss as it's already decided early on that something isn't right. I'm on vitamin D now as well as higher dose of folic acid so fingers crossed for this next cycle. Might be so much going on with birthdays I totally forget to worry about what's going on and distract my body enough haha.

How are you getting on?

Hey @DarkCrystal85 , how are you getting on my love. So sorry about your last cycle 😔

OP posts:
DarkCrystal85 · 24/09/2023 12:53

Aww I hope that goes well and keeping my fingers crossed.
I got a few more faint lines but then my dd gave me her horrendous cold from school and my boobs and twinges just stopped hurting on Friday and then yesterday I got AF 3-4 days early, I hoped it was maybe IB but I've woke up today and it's FAR too heavy so I'm wondering if the cold brought it on early. Shame as I actually felt pregnant this cycle and had some positives so I'm wondering if it's so painful due to another CB. Hoping this cycle doesn't push ovulation back too far. Feeling a bit fed up today and still full of cold and aches and pains. Meh

@DarkCrystal85 sorry I didn't reply I've been away! Did this progress at all? 🥺 keeping my fingers crossed for you!

I'm entering fertile week of cycle 5 and have been taking vit b to try and elongate my luteal phase. So far I've had no bleeding since my period which is good, last two months I had spotting so hopefully it's helping 🤞

It's a bit like a star... if you look directly at it it's not there but when you look away it is. It appeared in the time

My first TWW 🙈
DarkCrystal85 · 19/09/2023 13:09

Aww no bless you. It will happen when you least expect it to. I always feel a bit of relief once af shows more so means I can stop constantly diagnosing every niggle.

I've been getting some strong twinges and my boobs are so so so sore, lower back pain and generally feel like I have AF but without AF, I did a silly early test and swear there's actually a hint of a line, it was last night so I ordered more tests and I'm gonna just let the crazy poas addiction take over without bashing myself for it lol I'm 8dpo now and due in about 6 days and my tests are early detection 👀

AF arrived as expected last night. Only a 9 day luteal phase this month 😭

OP posts:
DarkCrystal85 · 16/09/2023 10:57

Aw that could be cos it's generally got chillier in the weather... which I'm sooo happy about cos the heat was driving me mad. Not out till AF sings xx

DarkCrystal85 · 12/09/2023 13:45

Yup. 1dpo woo ... so 1 week till I start telling myself no peeing on a stick yet to then probably pee on a stick haha

Well yes I believe I shall be ovulating tomorrow 😁

My first TWW 🙈
DarkCrystal85 · 10/09/2023 20:12

Yes I've been trying to change my diet somewhat... just had vegetable and rice stuffed marrow and to be honest it tasted like water 😂 before my pregnancy last year I'd lost a few stone and was really healthy but about a month after the loss I think I turned to food as my comfort and it's been really hard to shift the weight this time round. I started trying last September so would be nice to happen this cycle in a way.
I hope you enjoy your holiday, sounds daft but should be nicer and a tad bit cooler now it's not going to be up to 30 degrees. Gonna go do a test in a min, just waiting for the 3 year old to fall asleep as as soon as I turn on the bathroom light they seem to think of it as an invitation to stand in the doorway 🙈 x

I'm also trying to eat healthier, I've started eating oats in the morning and trying to get more fruit and veg in. Want to cut down on sugar but spend three days in the pub garden this weekend so I ended up drinking a lot of coke. Hopefully it doesn't affect things too much though!

He seemed on board at the time 😅 who knows! Will be interesting to see how this cycle goes. I have a few more days at work and then I'm off for a bit so we will be testing whilst we're away, just a UK mini break. Hopefully we will have some good news this time!
Yes deffo let us know 😁
Crazy we've been talking since my first cycle and now I'm on the TWW of cycle 4!

DarkCrystal85 · 10/09/2023 17:44

I will do. Haha poor DH. I'm wondering if the weather can sometimes have something to do with things 🤷 I'm feeling so fed up with the heat atm. Will post about tonight's when I do it. Everything sounds very positive 😁
