Girl I’m so sorrry!
i think you said you didn’t track ovulation this month so you could be super early Post ovulation?
im 7dpo. I’ve had the worst back cramps all day yesterday and I was woken up by a pain / burning sensation in my uterus that lasted about 2 minutes tops. Did an early test too and obvs negative 🤣
so now I have to buy more tests since I only had one in the house 🤣 I don’t have sore boobs or anything like this so maybe it’s just progesterone ramping up for AF and nothing else on my side

Well I just did an early test and it was the most negative thing I’ve ever seen. I must be completely imagining tummy things!

Ironically I was due to go to the consultant the day I had my procedure to remove the MMC so I’ll go to the doctors for a referral this week. I’m 37.5 and it’s nearly June — got to stay on track for goal of being pregnant this year 😂

Clara202 · 23/05/2025 21:36

thanks @KT199, could do with some luck!

KT199 · 23/05/2025 21:34

Fingers crossed for both of you @Lila34830 @Toppstileslover!! but it’s so hard when you get your hopes up and then get disappointed 😩

Sorry @Clara202 No I haven’t, hope it goes well. A lady on another thread I post on has just had one. They’re meant to be improve your fertility too for a few months after! Hopefully it sends some luck your way!

Clara202 · 23/05/2025 19:38

Has anyone here had a Hycosy? I’m booked in to get one on Monday

Toppstileslover · 23/05/2025 14:20

I’m fine! I’m too busy to be worrying today, I don’t have any early tests left but will try and find some later and test again tomorrow. AF is due Tuesday/Weds so I’ll know soon enough

I did gently knock my tummy with a shopping bag last night and had quite a sharp pain which makes me optimistic!

Lila34830 · 23/05/2025 13:34

me again , good old Dino who said she isn’t reading into symptoms, guess what ? I am a litttle bit because I have really bad menstrual lower back cramps and I’m 6/7 dpo 😅 we shall see where it leads to, but it’s pretty noticeable for a mid luteal phase as I still have 6 days to go until AF… I can’t remember whether I do have this on a negative cycle now ! I need to go through my flo app and check

@KT199i was actually
going back in our feed and it made me so nostalgic to see the massive roller coaster we have all ridden together 🎢🥹 you were on your holiday weren’t you ! So I guess it was a huge distraction too !
tomorrow we are super busy, so it will be very easy to just not think about it ! I went to look back at my CP tests and they were rather dark though ! They weren’t squinters! I think it I was positive I would book at 6 week private scan tbh just for reassurance halfway through the 12 week wait!
would be “hilarious” to have a positive after DTD only once and on ovulation day lol. You guys will probs be the first to know!

@Lila34830 keeping my fingers crossed for you. I think not testing helps with the mood anyway, months I tested from 8DPO seeing negative after negative I just got upset/angry/frustrated. After that I started waiting until 11/12 DPO and it was one test and accepting AF was on its way so to go stock up my tampons 🤣. I also think having to deal with squinters is really stressful as you get your hopes up and it could be for nothing !

Not sure of the DPO I tested this time for my positive but I was straight to 2-3 weeks instead of 1-2 and that felt nice! The first 12 weeks moves so bloody slowly so the extra few days of not knowing was a blessing 🤣

Lila34830 · 23/05/2025 09:05

@HE93Cthank you girl !
this is probably why I never symptom spot anymore because I even when I had my chemical, the only different thing was on implantation day I felt dizzy. The rest is so similar, the lower back pain was more pronounced though bad it is pronounced today… but idk. I’m so impressed that I haven’t even been tempted to test at all at that stage 🤣 I’ve turned a corner I can tell !
I will keep the frer for Monday FMU. I will be 10/11 dpo. Anything
”viable” should show by then if any.

You’re honestly a better woman than me, I was so obsessed that I was doing some form of test every day of the month either ovulation or pregnancy! It just became a part of my routine 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️

@Lila34830 I’ve got everything crossed for you! So hard isn’t it because all the period symptoms are also the pregnancy symptoms so it’s even more confusing!!

Lila34830 · 23/05/2025 08:58

Hey dinos, just me Doing my daily waffling to feel less lonely as I can’t be bothered introducing myself / joining other groups 🤣
6/7 dpo today. I plan on resting on Monday. AF due Thursday or Wednesday.
I have sore boobs and back cramps. This is rather typical for me at this stage of my cycle. Also feeling insane - also typical for me, pms sadly drives me mad 🤣
I hope the baby mamas are all good, @Toppstileslover how are you feeling girl ? X

Lila34830 · 22/05/2025 08:00

@HE93C@KT199thank you guys !
@Toppstilesloverso good to hear from you ! And I am so so sorry for your mmc 🩷
looks like we’re in the same boat. I didn’t track but last Friday I had loads of EWCM and I thought may as well do one of the last ovulation strips I have as this ground seems pretty ideal 🤣 it was a blazing positive opk. Didn’t think anything of it as I was mainly inputting data to keep track of my cycle. Then on the sat we DTD. Might have totally missed the coach who knows! I am 5 or 6 dpo I think. Nothing today but yesterday I had cramps all day that I will put down to progesterone rising.

Toppstileslover · 22/05/2025 07:43

Girlies! 💖 so good to see you all!

i just came on because this is the first month we’ve TTC since our MMC in Jan / Feb. Sooooo happy to see you all here!!!

i Didn’t track ovulation just DTD every other day (worked last time). I might be super early, had a very faint FRER. Have quite pronounced cramps (never have period cramps) and tingly boobs!

AF due Tuesday so will try and be patient xxxx have no tests left which helps lol

HE93C · 22/05/2025 06:48

@Gemmaemilyx oh my gosh the shortness of breath is something else. I’ve always been so active and go to the gym etc, was still doing Hyrox classes until 20 weeks until I was told I’ve a low placenta and not to exercise anymore and now… I am out of breath from walking up the stairs!! It’s crazy!!

@Lila34830 ive everything crossed for you, I think obviously easier said than done but being chilled is deffo the way to be! You sound like you’re in a good place around it all etc! Xxx

Lila34830 · 21/05/2025 23:20

Hey guys! 5 or 6 dpo tomorrow , we only DTD once on ovulation day so I will not be holding my breath but I’ve had cramps all day today and this evening. Definitely not implantation at that stage so I’m blaming progesterone as I also feel under the weather ! ( or an upcoming illness just in time for bank holiday 🤣).
im pretty chilled about it tbh as it wasn’t planned that much and we had been on a ttc break ! we don’t plan on resuming ttc until next year either so we shall see!
i will of course test but I think I have like one premom strip and one FRER left somewhere. I won’t buy anymore so I have to save them until I’d say 9/10 dpo if I can 🤣

OP posts:
Gemmaemilyx · 21/05/2025 20:43

@KT199 im just so short of breath and like a beached whale so i cant move- not much fun 🤣 I know I shouldn’t complain but im not the girl I was 6 months ago 🤣

@Lila34830 keeping count of your DPOs, will you test? 🤣🩷 xx

KT199 · 20/05/2025 21:45

Aw I’m so glad to hear things are going good for the both of you @Gemmaemilyx @HE93C !! Not too long to go now, try enjoy the end of your pregnancies as much as possible.

laughing at the comment about DTD @Gemmaemilyx 🤣😩 I think my husband feels the same and we’re not even deep in yet. I just have no wants in that department right now!

@Lila34830 It only takes once!! Who knows, it may happen! They often say it’s when you least expect it and it definitely was with me I didn’t think there was anyway I was arriving home from getting married pregnant! 🤣🤣

Lila34830 · 20/05/2025 21:33

@HE93Cawww I bet you can’t wait to meet your baby ! 🩷

HE93C · 20/05/2025 21:09

Sending you lots of love in the TWW @Lila34830

@KT199 youll have to let us know how you get on!

it feels like only 2 mins ago since I was at the TWW and I’m 28 weeks now and into my 3rd trimester! Still feel anxious quite often but trying to remain positive (feel like the worry will probs stay until its in my arms to be honest - and probably for 20 years after that)

xx

Gemmaemilyx · 20/05/2025 20:39

@Lila34830 always a chance!! I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you and await good news next week 🤞🏼🥰 I think my husband is missing ‘tracking me’ as DTD is no where near as frequent 🤣🤣

I’m good thankyou! I’m 27 weeks today - everything seems to be going okay as far as I can tell 🫶🏼 xxx

Lila34830 · 20/05/2025 20:12

So good to hear from you @Gemmaemilyxi hope you’re well !
and let us know how the 12 weeks one goes @KT199but I’m sure it will be fine !!!

We only DTD like 12/24 hours after my peak so allegedly on ovulation day so I’m not holding my breath but I still could not ride the 2WW alone 🤣 🦕
my luteal phase is 11 days and in my CM I tested positive on 10 dpo… 7 days to go!

OP posts:
Gemmaemilyx · 20/05/2025 20:03

@Lila34830 eeeek so happy to see you back! Looking forward to your updates in the next week 🥰

@KT199 so so happy for you! When’s your due date?

sending lots of love to everyone! Xx

KT199 · 20/05/2025 19:40

Omggg the queen dino is back @Lila34830 how excitingggg!! Rooting for you no matter what your getting upto! The TWW sadly never changes I don’t think 🤣🤣. Have you got anything to keep you occupied?

I’m doing good.. had another scan at 9w3d which was at the weekend and all looks exactly as it should. Holding out now until 12w scan which is in 2 weeks. Praying this time it’s meant to be. 🤞🥲
