Anyone want to join me on the TWW? Currently 6dpo and it’s feeling like forever!

I have had the occasional shooting pain in my boobs, they feel bigger and had cramps/twinges on and off for the last 2 days.

My temp took a huge dive below the cover line yesterday but it’s back up to just above cover line today!

Come and join in x

@SantiagoSister any progress this morning or do you have more self-control then me 😵

This did make me laugh 😂

I’ve actually found some self control from somewhere (no idea how?!) and I’m going to test tonight. Just didn’t want the worry if it hadn’t darkened this morning. Hoping it’ll be noticeably darker this evening 🤞🏼 will keep you posted!

@SantiagoSister wow, how exciting!! 🙌🙌

Send as many updates as your heart needs.

I tested again last night with useless sample again (peeing all evening, 30 min hold 🤣) and my test looked darker I think. I really don’t know though, I just have no faith as it’s so early…

8-11DPO but at varying times!

Thank you so much, same for you too ❤️

Wow, that’s great progression on your tests, especially with not holding for a long time before! Hope that’s giving you some reassurance. Really hoping it works out for you this time 🙏🏻

I feel in disbelief this morning, and feel a bit sick, thinking that’s caused by anxiety though. Just terrified of going through a late loss again, or any loss to be fair, I don’t think my heart could take it. Hoping it will all work out but it’s all so unknown at this point isn’t it.

@TheUniqueMember thank you! Also did cheapies this morning and my line is really dark vs 2 days ago. Quietly feeling more confident...only quietly. A LONG way to go....!!

@ThatNimbleOPExactly the same as you, I’ve just got a faint positive this evening at 8 DPO! I’m in shock. I feel nervous, anxious, and can’t quite believe it. Will see how progression goes over the next few days 🤞🏼

Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐 xxx

@SantiagoSister for sure!!! Hopefully this is now a lucky thread.

Yes have told the clinic and been advised to keep taking progesterone and do early scan at 7 weeks. I haven’t tested again today as working…I think I’ll test again tonight. I was feeling calm but as the days progress I’m getting more anxious. Also it doesn’t help that the progesterone prevents my period so no period isn’t reliable! Equally it’s reassuring too not to see spotting

Ah I so hope so! 🤞🏼

Glad you’ve been given some advice from the clinic now and you’re doing all you can by continuing to take the progesterone. I imagine it’s hard knowing that the progesterone will stop any potential period, but as you say, it’s also a very good sign to not have any spotting. A few more weeks to go for your early scan and hopefully that will give you some extra reassurance too 🙏🏻

@SantiagoSister yes was stark negative till 13:00. Got first very faint line 21:00!

So you’re all good! Feel free to keep posting all your updates to me if it helps.

Im okay, just fearing the worst. Going to tell my clinic today and get their advice. I just want to do everything right to prevent losing this baby! Also still don’t believe I’m pregnant lol such a strange feeling!

Edited

@ThatNimbleOP thank you so much, that would be great. Will keep my fingers crossed that I will follow your path and see something tonight when I test 🤞🏼

That’s a good idea to contact the clinic today, at least you will know you’ve done everything in your power to make sure you’ve given this pregnancy the best chance. It’s such a bizarre feeling isn’t it, I’ve always felt really shocked/scared every time I’ve seen a positive test, even though I was trying and very much wanted to be pregnant!

@SantiagoSister fingers crossed for you! I was testing negative up until evening of 8DPO.

Hope you get what you want. I guess we’re only 4 days difference so very happy to handhold 😃

Thank you @ThatNimbleOP, much appreciated!

BFN this morning, half expected it as it’s still very early. Reassuring to hear you first test positive on the evening of 8 DPO, I know what I’ll be doing tonight now 😆 nipples are more sore this morning, but of course that could just be progesterone leading up to AF. Will report back tonight! How are you doing?

@SantiagoSister thank you! Test has darkened even more with drying. Feeling a lot more confident then this morning. I thought that was the end..silly temping after a BFP.

How are you doing? You must be 6/7DPO now xx

So glad you’re feeling more reassured as the day has gone on, it’s so hard not to worry about things though, I totally get it.

Ah well remembered! Thank you ☺️ I am 7 DPO today, planning to start testing in the morning as I previously got a faint line in my other pregnancies at 8 DPO. Felt some twinges today, but that could be endometriosis related, so it’s difficult to tell if it could be implantation related. I have also started to get slightly achy boobs this evening too. Hoping these are all positive signs! Will keep you posted 🤞🏼

Hey guys!

Please can I get your opinion? Is this good progression. 9DPO AM to 20:00 10DPO (with me peeing all afternoon so this was a one hour hold).

Also excuse the state of my house, we’re in the middle of renovating!!

My temp dropped 0.25 degrees this morning so I’ve been spiralling but I think this progression is good. I’ve taken the ring off now!

Looks like great progression to me 🥰

Oh so sorry to hear that, I can’t honestly begin to imagine how that felt. We’ll never know why our babies are taken from us but it stays with us forever.

We lost ours at 9 weeks in January which can’t compare to your loss but it definitely changed things. My first was conceived first month with no issues m, this second one has been wanted since October 2024…it’s been a very complex and new journey. Life is full of surprises but it makes me so grateful for what we have now.

@SantiagoSister i wish you an easy journey from now on for your second. Keep us updated! Xx

I did another cheapie this afternoon and looks about the same. Just going to wait for more FRERs to arrive and try to ease off the testing. The internet cheapies are not good for anxiety!

Thank you for your kind words @ThatNimbleOP ❤️ I feel a loss at any stage is devastating, as soon as you see those first lines you already imagine the whole journey ahead, and to lose that is awful. I’m sorry you had to go through that after an already tough journey. It sounds like you’ve had a really difficult ride of it second time round, I’m so pleased it’s finally happened for you. Hopefully you can find some reassurance when your FRERs arrive, I know it helped me testing with them and seeing the lines darken. Wishing you lots of luck ✨

That’s so great to hear! Congratulations! 🥳 I fully understand your worries, I had a third trimester loss with my first pregnancy and it completely takes away any naivety, my rainbow pregnancy was 9 months of sheer anxiety 😔 hoping you are able to find some coping mechanisms to keep you calm throughout. Pregnancy after loss is a whole new ball game. Best of luck to you going forwards ❤️

@MrsOverthinker25 my FRER and Internet cheapies are darker this morning so it’s 100% not indents or mistakenly so.

Now the next worry/challenge is if they’re darkening…which they appear to be. Whole level of worry up haha.

I feel weirdly calm but since my miscarriage all the naive happiness is gone, such a shame!

@TheUniqueMember @SantiagoSister sorry for not tagging! Very used to just the two of us normally 🤣

Thanks. I’m feeling tentatively positive but feels so early. Although was testing negative at 13:00 so there’s a chance I could be more 9DPO…

Will keep you updated!
