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!🤞🏼

It's official... I think I'm pregnant. 3 different brands. I'm in absolute shock. Really thought it was a chemical. Not out of the woods yet and also a lot of worries as I've had two miscarriages 😭, but the lines are getting darker. Hopefully everything works out ❤️

Oh wow, so so so happy for you 🥰🥰 Congratulations!!

LuxyLocket · 23/09/2024 17:35

So so happy for you @Bb542 after all that uncertainty!!!! 🩷you are so deserving of this. Totally get that, this is the next worries and pregnancy after loss is so hard as you’ll worry so much but I have every faith this will go positive for you

@boymumtoone It’s not the best photo to show up. By my eyes they are there. Still squinters but more visible than over the past few days so 🤷‍♀️🤞

12/13dpo. AF due Thurs. I’m staying realistic but not giving up hope.
if it is detecting hcg it must still be vvv low atm 🤞🤞im drinking beetroot juice everyday. Please implant!!!

My AF is also due Thursday. Been sat at a desk all day at work and seem to only have the AF cramps/back ache when sitting down but feel find when I'm stood.

@Bb542 let us know how you get on and keeping everything crossed for you!
I didn’t quite hold my wee as long as I would have wanted this afternoon but got a vvvvvv faint line again on 2 different branded hcg strips. It’s definitely picking something up it’s just hardly visible. Will do tonight and tomorrow again and see what happens.
im too scared to do digital clear blue yet as if I see negative in words I will know its probably over for this month
my cramps have stopped now 🤷‍♀️

Edited

Have you got a photo of the tests you took? 🥰

Just finished work and on my way to boots to buy more tests. Think I'll get clear blue and boots brand. I've been holding my wee all day so it's an accurate reading 🤣

Got my fingers crossed for you! 🤞🏼 Keep us updated!

I still have some very light spotting, never had it so early before AF! Although different apps tell me differently, AF could be due anytime between today and Thursday. Caved in and tested again earlier, BFN (although wasn't FMU). I'm pretty sure I'm out now at 12DPO but a part of me keeps wondering if it is implantation bleeding.. Just wish I either got a line of AF already! So I can take my mind off it one way or another

Emiily887 · 23/09/2024 13:00

Sorry girls I’m really busy with work today but trying to catch up now! Sorry you’re all feeling so down today, I think it’s taking it’s toll on us all☹️
Really hoping for some positive stories over the next few days🥲
My af cramps seem to have eased off a little bit but we will see what tonight’s test says xx

@Littlebean25 Cycle day 27 and 13 dpo similar to you, so I guess it’s possible yeah but easier just to think it’s AF.
I think cos last time I fell pregnant I didn’t have any of this in the tww and didn’t have any cramps/signs of implantation. It’s a minefield.

Littlebean25 · 23/09/2024 11:49

@LuxyLocket same 🙈 I've even put a pad on just in case 🥴
There's a small part of me too that hopes it's implantation I'm 12dpo but also cd29 and due on my period today according to my app (cycles are a bit all over the place). What are you? It is easier to assume it's af, sending hugs x

LuxyLocket · 23/09/2024 11:35

I feel exactly the same and keep going to the toilet to check! So crampy and feel heavy in the womb. I know implantation can be up to 14 days after ovulation so it could be this I guess but i never had this last time so wouldn’t know what to go on. It’s easier just to think it’s AF so I don’t get hopeful.
isnt it cruel that all the ‘signs’ are literally the same as pms!! Wish there was some definite sign we could have after dtd to know if it has worked 🙈😂
sending everyone hugs to get through our mopey Monday together 🩷

Littlebean25 · 23/09/2024 11:26

LuxyLocket · 23/09/2024 10:59

Glad it’s not just me feeling in the grumps today!
as a small bit of hope. Has anyone heard of feeling like AF is about to come and then actually turns out it’s pregnancy?

I am so miserable today 😭 I've definitely heard of it but never experienced it myself.
Feel exactly the same today, every time I go to the toilet I'm expecting AF to show. Hoping it's not but at this stage would be a miracle. So crampy 🫠

LuxyLocket · 23/09/2024 11:18

@MsCactus I had veiny boobs last time in the tww and I was pregnant so it was definitely a sign for me!
but agreed the sore boobs can be confusing as they are a sign of both.

Ooh ok, fingers crossed.

Hoping that the AF symptoms are actually implantation for you 🤞

Feeling crampy too... ugh just want to be put out of my misery 😅 if AF doesn't show today I'll be officially "late" 🤣

Definitely feeling the pre AF cramps and feel like there isn’t much hope for me now. Unless by some weird thing some women feel like they are about to come on then actually are pregnant! But this feel very different to the run up to AF last time, when I was pregnant I didn’t feel any of this build up at all.
not in a very good mood this morning at work and I work with other pregnant women who have been complaining about feeling sick this morning. It’s hard isn’t it.

I'm feeling the same as you today. Also at work in a bad mood defo feeling AF is on way! ☹️ it's so hard wanting something so bad

Good luck for everyone 🤞🤞🤞 fingers crossed for you all

I'm now 7dpo and just realised it's my DH birthday on 11dpo. I'm going to try and hold out testing until then if I can.

Going a bit mad with symptoms spotting tho - I've got lots of discharge, which I remember as a pregnancy sign with my first, and my boobs are bigger and looking veiny. Has anyone else had these symptoms and got a bfp?

The sore boobs thing has caught me out before though because my boobs increase a cup size before AF every month :/

Good luck for all of us - I love this thread, so supportive ❤️
