Back at the start of another TWW… anyone else at the same point and fancy being TWW buddies?
We have tried the SMEP method and conceive plus lubricant this month, time will tell if they have made a difference!🤞🏼

Wow congrats @Ldougal92 that’s amazing!! Did you have any other signs at all? That’s amazing to shown up at 9dpo

@Bb542 we’ve all had tough journeys so this tread has been so supportive. Really hope we all get there

Ldougal92 · 21/09/2024 08:41

After not thinking I’d ovulated. I felt a little sick drinking wine last night and had a vivid dream. 9dpo. Seems a very strong line!!!

thanks for all the support ❤️❤️

I'm telling myself that I'll wait until tomorrow morning to retest again. Realistically, I will probably be reaching for a test at lunchtime 😂 but hoping to hold off at least until the evening

Science needs you to test at lunch time 😂😂😂

Bb542 · 21/09/2024 08:39

I'm going to test again later... for science 😂 I feel pregnant. Getting lots of twinges in my stomach and my fmu was quite watered down this morning so I'll give it one more go. If there's nothing then I'm going to assume I'm out and wait for AF.

Thank you so much everyone, you really have made this tww so much better with the support, giggles and stories!

When are you all planning on re testing? For science 🤣

Sounds like we've all been on tough journeys. Sending everyone lots of love. ❤️

PennyPencils · 21/09/2024 08:25

Well my temps have stayed above the cover line but barely raised and I've never had that before. Usually it's a steady zig zag upwards or it's all over the place. They've never been so low after ovulation.

@Emiily887 I'm trying for my 3rd too. My Dd1 is nearly 18 and dd2 took two years so to catch it quicker this time would be much appreciated. The heartache for two years, miscarriage and chemicals was tiring and I don't have it in me now.

I'll test again tonight. I'm still hopeful lines will start to show themselves.

LuxyLocket · 21/09/2024 08:23

@Emiily887 of course it doesn’t make it any less valid just because you’re wanting a third. It’s no less painful. Big hugs. The chemicals are so sad but that’s a really positive way of looking at it that you can conceive. I kind of think that way about my mc. It was our first and we lost it but I know as a couple we can get pregnant now. Bless you must feel like a ticking clock. I’m wishing you all the baby dust possible and know in your heart you will get there 🩷🩷

Emiily887 · 21/09/2024 08:16

Thank you @LuxyLocket, I really appreciate that. I do have a daughter too, I was quite young when I had her and she was absolutely unplanned as I was on contraception (but an amazing surprise that I’d never change) - it’s crazy how different it can be!
I feel awful sometimes getting so upset about wanting a third when so many of you are trying for number one, but I think because I know which way my endo is heading and I’ll be looking into a hysterectomy in the coming years, I’ll live with so much heartache if I don’t get one more chance. I always hoped for 3 and the idea of having the chance pulled away is truly heartbreaking.
We’ve had two chemicals this time round but they kind of reassure me as we had a few with my son and eventually got there so at least I know I’m able to conceive still 🤞🏼
I really hope everyone gets their babies, whether it’s their 1st or a sibling for their little miracles🩷
Thank you for all being so kind xxx

@LuxyLocket these faint lines should not be allowed to play with us!! See, this is what mine were like last night but this morning, nothing. Zero! So I’ve gone with indent 😫
Really hope something comes of it for you 🩷This is cycle 7 but it feels like a lifetime. My son took 14 months so I’m expecting the same again now I think, maybe longer. I do have quite severe endometriosis too, which definitely doesn’t help things but I had surgery to help treat it back at the start of the year, although it’s already coming back😔
It almost feels like it puts a ‘time limit’ on me in a way.
Ah well, enough of that sad talk🤣 hopefully we will be seeing lots of happy results soon, and if not this month, hopefully can continue this lovely thread next cycle 🩷

Oh lovely it's ok to feel sad and have sad talk. TTC is not easy at all. Sounds like you've been through a lot. It's ok to feel frustrated. I really hope your time comes soon ❤️

LuxyLocket · 21/09/2024 08:09

@owlcat24 Thank you for confirming that’s so interesting looking at the charts it’s like a science project!

you’ve got to hold onto that you didn’t have any symptoms last time either. 🤍🤍🤞🤞

owlcat24 · 21/09/2024 08:08

@LuxyLocket before I started testing I was convinced I was pregnant, like just knew that I was. Now not so sure after all the bfn's 😂 No physical symptoms though, but I didn't have any last time either.

LuxyLocket · 21/09/2024 08:07

Oh @Emiily887 thank you for sharing your story and totally ok to have some sad talk! Two of my friends have endo so through them I can sort of understand the hurdles. They both have a baby. Your son is a blessing and you will be blessed with another I know it and the long old journey will make them even more treasured.

the faint lines are definitely playing with us!! My eyes hurt 😂but I’m telling myself I guess it’s good we’ve seen something? Even though it’s driving us mad 🤪

LuxyLocket · 21/09/2024 07:57

@PennyPencils I’ve been tracking BBT this month too but I’ve never done it before so can’t compare to anything 😂was basically doing it for something else to do in the tww.
mine has stayed high after ovulation which can indicate both conception and it being raised as AF approached so hard to tell. I think that’s right? Maybe you can explain the bbt to me as I’ve not ever done it.

The bbt will always rise after ovulation and stay high until just before AF; then if you're not pregnant it will drop and AF will come or if you're pregnant it will stay up.

I've attached my old charts; October I didn't get pregnant and you can see a dip; and November I did get pregnant and bbt stayed up

1dpo, anyone else?

@Bb542 you totally deserve that positive as @Emiily887 says so let’s hope the vvvvv faint lines are something trying to come through!

anyone else feeling like they could be pregnant? I think some have. I think we have to trust our bodies and stay positive but also prepare ourselves just incase our silly bodies are trying to trick us.

my boobs aren’t as sore as they were in the tww last time but they are looking so veiny and swollen nipples (sorry tmi) but maybe they are sometimes like that before AF and I just don’t normally notice

Are first response tests normally accurate? we can't buy them here in Ireland but next time I'm up north I might buy some. The boots ones seem to give indents all the time 😫

PennyPencils · 21/09/2024 07:49

8dpo BFN this morning.
I was actually convinced I'd see a line today as the cramps, backache and insomnia as well as the ovary area twinges make me feel so pregnant.
Maybe things feek different because of last month's chemical and it's just AF.

Does anyone else track BBT? My chart is odd this month too. Doesn't look like any month I've ever had but perhaps that's the insomnia.

Hoping so see a few more bfps on here today.

I tracked it when TTC with my son but not this time. In what way is it odd? x

Emiily887 · 21/09/2024 07:59

@Bb542 oh bb I’m so sorry 😔 I think because you had that hope last night, it’s even more difficult. Sending lots of hugs to you, you really do deserve that positive 🩷

I’m gonna say basically bfn this morning for me as well. But I can see a vvvvvv (basically as faint as you can imagine) line and it’s right in the place it should be, but only when I tilt it and look v closely. However I think it’s prob just an indent line as took a while for me to see it.

I bet we all end up testing tonight as well just to see if anything’s changed 😂hugs to all my tww buddies. We’re not out til we’re out!

This is what mine are like too 👀 hopefully it's something 🤞🏼❤️

Bb542 · 21/09/2024 07:58

@PennyPencils you're definitely not out yet. 8dpo still very early! 🙏🏼
@Emiily887 thanks lovely. Hope you're okay. It really is so heartbreaking isn't it? Have you been trying long?

Sending love to everyone today ❤️

I feel pregnant too. I was surprised when it was negative this morning. So strange. I'm getting so many twinges in my stomach. I actually feel so sad 💔
