Anyone else 3DPO? Let’s do the TWW together!

@Lowkeyloopy ahh congratulations!! I have all my fingers crossed for you that it’s a little healthy sticky baby 🤞🏼

BFP…!

BUT it is so so faint. It’s clearer in real life than in the photo - there’s definitely colour and no mistaking the line, but it’s very faint. Think I’m 11DPO and AF due on Tuesday. Still early but I would expect it to be darker on an early test. So we’re not getting our hopes up too much!

For now we’re just happy that we’ve managed to conceive again first cycle trying after MMC. I’m now wide awake at 5.30 so… things I did this cycle in case it helps anyone scrolling for outcomes in the future (like I do!):

• SMEP!
• Acupuncture for a few weeks focused on regulating cycle and ovulation (heard some people recommend post MC).
• Lay down for 15 minutes with pelvis tilted after DTD (you never know!)
• Didn’t use PreSeed - we normally do, but think it feels too weird to DH.
• No alcohol, no caffeine for months now.
• Expert Midwife prenatals
• DH has been taking Wellman for nearly a year now (but the pregnacare equivalent delays my cycle!).
• 200mg CoQ10 for egg quality (but only for a month or two and realised it’s not the ubiquinol version so may not have been enough to make a difference yet).

Symptoms during 2WW.. not many really, and I’m a major symptom spotter!

• Very emotional after ovulation but thinks that’s pure normal hormones and anxiety TTC post MMC!
• Felt like period coming because of light cramping from around 8DPO. Occasional slight twinges either side. But I swear I got that last month when we didn’t try, too.
• Waking up at 5am needing to pee (had this last time so this was a good sign for me).
• Ever so slightly more tired in the last day or so. Wouldn’t have noticed if not looking for it.
• Ever so slightly more CM - creamy. But think this is a really unreliable indicator, at least for me. Again wouldn’t have noticed if not looking.

So for now we’re just happy that I’m ovulating post MMC and that we got the timing right with the SMEP. If my body works out that this little bundle isn’t healthy and I get AF in a few days, that will be very sad, but such a better outcome than my body holding on and us finding out at the 12 week scan again. I wouldn’t wish that experience on anyone! We shall see..!

I’m 12dpo with 2 positive tests from clear blue but negative for all others so think they’re just unreliable tests. Think I’m also out, I think it would show by now x

13dpo and period due on Sunday (two days - 15dpo). Negative test today AGAIN!

is it possible to be totally stark negative at this stage and then get a postive? I just feel like hCG would surely be present by now? But I don’t know if it takes longer for longer cycles?! I have no idea.

It is good to know that I am not alone! I hope your pregnancy will go smoothly and I will probably wait until 7 weeks for the scan. (making sure I pass both would-be-MC dates)

Bless you it's such a whirlwind isn't it!
I'm awful with persuading myself for shadows but you just never know!! 🤞🏼

I totally get what you mean about the working order though!

Only an hour or two before but a lot darker and more period-y if that makes sense 🤣 I'm also not due on for another 5 days!

I will pretend I won't test for 48 hours but I know it'll be first thing tomorrow morning 🤭

@Anonymous130197 Ooh yes it could! Assuming you don’t usually get spotting pre period? Fingers crossed for you - when are you thinking of testing?

Aw congratulations this is such a positive little thread, keeping me going 🤭

I'm 9 DPO today after the longest wait ever haha!
Tested and BFN.

However, bit TMI but had very light brown discharge the past two times I've been for a wee. Could this be implantation??

Congrats to those with new BFPs!

After promising myself I’d wait until after missed period, I’ve only gone and tested with a cheapie at 10DPO 😂 I think it’s negative but I’m also convincing myself I can see a shadow of a line. Didn’t use FMU because the urge just took me.. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Going to try holding for a few hours then testing again with an early test instead. Don’t have first response but boots own brand witll have to do! At least they’re not the most expensive brand to waste..

This is all DH’s fault - we decided last night that even if it’s a chemical, maybe it would still be good to know that everything is “in working order” after the MMC and we can comfort ourselves that my body did the right thing with a baby that wasn’t chromosonally correct (as opposed to last time, when it held on for 12 weeks).

Oh what a head f**k all this TTC is, excuse my language!

Congrats to everyone 🥰 @LucyCL I’m so with you right now. 4 weeks and feeling so nervous. Desperate for 6 week early scan to come around and also terrified of that being the end. Sending hugs x

I see it. I truly wish you have a viable pregnancy!

@LucyCL congrats! No advice but you’re not alone - I had a MC in April so feeling the same feelings as you right now ❤️ let’s hope for sticky little beans 🤞🏼

There looks like there is a faint positive/ line there! Exciting!!! ☺️

Congrats 🥳 🥰

Congratulations! 🥰

Here's todays test for me, approx 9DPO I think 🤞🏻

No advice really but massive congrats 🙌🏻

So I had 2 early MCs this March and May. I am really scared. Any good practical advice ?

I used Clearblue triple check & date pack and easy at home hcg strip and they all had lines when I got my first and second BFPs. If the others are not showing, it is likely to be an evaporation line.

All other brand tests negative, currently 11dpo - is this an evaporation line or no? Came up quickly and I think it it looks blue but am so desperate I don’t trust that I’m not wishing for things that aren’t there

Just got this on a clear blue, but the digital and easy@home is negative. It has colour, what do you think?

Congratulations 🥳

10DPO today, so quite shocked to see it so early
