Anyone else currently in the TWW? I'm 2dpo today and really hoping this is the month. After a miscarriage last Christmas and an ectopic in august I think I really need this 😭 told myself this is the last month I'm going to try for a while 19th months of doing OPK's and tracking BBT is getting too much now.

Do you think testing on Xmas day at 8dpo is too early? 🤣

@Vic231 I'm so sorry for your loss that must've been awful for you, I couldn't imagine going through something like that I thought my ectopic was bad enough 😭

Yes we are trying for our first, I'm 23 so I keep hearing people tell me "you're so young you've got so much time" but it's so tedious to hear when I've been trying since last June 😭. Doctors are useless too they won't refer me for more tests yet even though I've been pushing for it. Since I have already been diagnosed with PCOS and Endometriosis ( I was diagnosed at 16 with both after a pretty traumatic hospital experience ) they want me to just keep trying and they're only going to follow up if I have another miscarriage or ectopic. Just so stressful. I'm going to Japan in early February so me and my partner decided this month will be the last we track it until after we come back.

Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻 feel like you need this

@paigeeemicj I'm also so sorry for your losses ♥️

Vic231 · 19/12/2023 20:58

@paigeeemicj it's obviously meant to be 😅😂

Unfortunately my journey so far has been long and very sad. I first fell pregnant last summer but we lost our daughter at 25 weeks this time last year, she was absolutely beautiful but sadly she was very poorly 🤍 After a few months of physical and mental recovery we decided to try again and since June and September I've sadly had two early miscarriages. I've since had blood tests that have come back normal so as of last month we decided to try again whilst we wait for our consultant appointment. It all feels a lot sometimes.

Sorry I appreciate you probably weren't expecting all of that! Is it your first you're trying for?

Hi ladies, I'd love to join us as like @paigeeemicj says I don't think i've ever been at the start of a thread where everyone is so close ovulation wise! I'm roughly 2-3DPO, like you @coffeeandcake91 I didn't track so just going by 2 apps and my cycle. 🤞🏼

@paigeeemicj thank you! We're hosting for new year and I have a lot of lovely gins to work through if it's a bfn 😅 I hope your nervous feeling ends up being a good type of nervous that ends 2023 with good news!

@coffeeandcake91 hope it's your month! Have you been TTC long? It's a funny time of year for it, trying to enjoy all the festivities but knowing that I'll either be really happy or sad for new years x

coffeeandcake91 · 19/12/2023 20:27

Seems like we're all pretty close in dates. I'm 1-2 DPO. I didn't track it so only going by date of last period and estimated date of ovulation. I think I'm going to test on the 26th because I'm VERY impatient. AF due on 31st. Sending prayers to us all!

@moosey89 I'm sorry that happened for you 😭 I'm due AF New Year's Day too! Though I'm designated driver on Xmas day (fiancé's birthday) and New Year's Eve ( he drove last year 🤣 ) so no drinks for me anyway! I have a really nervous feeling this month I usually wait til the day AF is due to test but I don't think I'm gonna be able to do that this time 🤣

@paigeeemicj I'm 1dpo so with you 🤣 had an MMC in July, this is cycle 5 since (that one took 6 months to conceive), but first time I TTC with my ex was 8 years ago so I've been thinking about being a mum for a while with more than one loss! Let's keep everything crossed this is our month. I'm due af on new year's Day so will test new year's eve if my period doesn't arrive a bit early as I want to let loose haha
