Anyone just starting the TWW..?

[HappyThoughts7]

Hi all,

Just started the 2WW (I think) as I’m pretty sure I ovulated yesterday/today based on Flo & the bloatedness I’ve had...just wondered if anyone was at the same stage as me and how they were feeling about it all? This is TTC #1 for me xx

You have a definite positive there LG88 I bet you are so pleased! I'm very chuffed for you!

Do you have any symptoms yet? I hope you will stay on this thread to give us some support until we have our BFPS!

@Hopefulbunny I was actually going to ask if you guys would mind if I stayed on the thread. It's very early days for me anyway so want to be here if things don't work out and I really feel like I have made friends in you guys so would be really sad not to keep up with progress.
I am absolutely over the moon, still don't think it has fully sunk in yet. I am feeling pretty sick and very tired. Also last week I wanted to eat everything in sight but this week I feel starving but can't stand the sight of any food. 🤢
Hope you don't mind me asking but are you both using preseed? Xx

@buntingandstarcharts
@Hopefulbunny
Just wanted to let you both know that I think I am beginning to have a miscarriage. I hope you are both doing well this month. Xx

Hi ladies, sorry been trying to be calm and serene and not check on here after the 6 month breakdown of death I had  @LG88 are you ok? It's so hard all this emotional turmoil. Are you sure it's not just normal pregnancy bleeding? I think that's quite common? I really hope you're ok xxxx

@Hopefulbunny how are you?

@buntingandstarcharts no I'm sure this is not a normal pregnancy bleed unfortunately. I'm absolutely devastated. Sounds like we have both had very similar break downs then as that's where I am right now. How are you feeling now? You must be coming up to ovulation and another dreaded 2ww. I just feel like I don't know if I can do it all again. I thought it would be easy once you got pregnant but I actually just spent the whole time in a panic that I was going to miscarry which turned out to be justified I guess. I'm exhausted with it all to be honest. I hope you are feeling much more positive. Xx

@LG88 this breaks my heart. I'm so so so sorry you're going through this and feeling so low. I know I've not yet been pregnant but I fully sympathise. And I know what you mean about not being able to take it much longer 💔 it's utterly devastating getting AF each month let alone losing out when you've just got your BFP test. If it makes you feel any better.... the day my AF arrived, I cried loudly on the way to work and had to wear sunglasses on the train, then at a doctors appointment with a hot male doctor, then again at work (I'm a teacher so big puffy eyes are noticed by ALL the kids)! So what happened? I'm so sad after being so excited about the positive tests. My heart hurts for you x I am ovulating tomorrow but literally I think there's something wrong (everyone else gets pregnant so easily it seems) so it won't happen but inevitably I will get my hopes up and be all happy .... until it doesn't work again. I wonder how you kind of knew that it didn't feel right, do you think you will be like that until 12 week scan when it happens? How's your hubbie? Always here xxxxx

Ps. I started acupuncture. Let's see if it helps x

Thank you @buntingandstarcharts
I don't know how I knew but I absolutely did, I had a tiny amount of brown spotting from Friday and everyone kept telling me that is was totally normal in early pregnancy. I just knew it wasn't the case for me. I even knew last night that it was time to use something because it would be the time that the bleeding started, before any actual signs or anything. 🤷 Weird.
Oh bless you, I know exactly how you feel, I have cried over af many times and cried so much today that I don't think I have anything left. Hubby actually hurt me even more by going to work as normal today and so I have been home on my own all day. It hasn't been pleasant to be honest.
When I saw the doctor he said that of the healthiest most fertile couples, 1 in 10 won't be pregnant within 12 months. So it really means nothing about you that it hasn't happened yet. Please please stay positive, this will happen for you, it's just such a shit when you are the one stuck in it all. And if I have another person tell me that unfortunately it's very common in early pregnancy I will rip their bloody head off!! It makes me feel like I shouldnt be sad as its so frigging common!! Oh well in that case what am I bothering about!!! sorry for the rant, I feel like I may explode! Fingers crossed for the acupuncture, are you also using preseed? Xx

Boo, it's so sad reading this. Nothing like a miserable rainy day to reflect the mood (not sure where you are based but it's grey in London!) I cant imagine getting a BFP ever at all! Especially after 6 months so I can't imagine how excited and then sad you must feel. I don't think men really 'get it', however lovely and sensitive they are. It's just not the same. The pressure, emotions and obsession just isn't part of their make-up (I'm not being sexist). They try to understand but it's not as big a deal from my experience. So you went to the doc and what did they say? That's fascinating about what the doc said in regards to the 1 in 10 who won't be pregnant in 12 months. What happens to that 1 couple? 😫😫 God I can imagine the annoyance of people who say 'it's common to miscarry early' just as much as those who say 'relax and it will happen' they can all fuck off! No one can tell you how to feel and you should allow yourself time to have these emotions as it's much healthier than bottling it up. Pre seed - on and off do you think that helped you? X

Hi ladies,

LG88, I'm so sorry to hear about your miscarriage I hope you are okay. Have you done anymore tests? When I had mine the tests got lighter
and then negative quite quickly. They do say they you are more fertile after a miscarriage. Thinking of you.
Buntingandstarcharts , I hope you are feeling better. I'm in
fw I think I ovulated earlier than usual not feeling very positive this cycle. I use fertility gel seems to be quite good sure its the same as pre seed.

We will get through this ladies and will have our BFPS :)

@Hopefulbunny @buntingandstarcharts
I have no idea what is going on with me, I have not had anywhere near enough bleeding I don't think as I haven't even had the same amount as I would for a normal period. I could keep the same pad on all day (NOT that I would of course!!!) and not anywhere near fill it. And I have had no pain or cramps whatsoever, which I normally suffer with quite badly during my period. I am waiting to hear back from 111 who I spoke with last night because I have absolutely petrified myself that it could be eptopic, I can't think why else this would all be happening. I am so so scared about what is going on. xx

@LG88 how confusing! I don't even know what it could be or how to help you are the pregnancy tests negative or positive? Could it still be all ok...? Have you been passing thin blood or thicker stringy (tmi question sorry). I hope you're ok, you poor thing. So confusing and horrible xxxxx

Hi ladies,

LG88, how are you, have you done anymore tests, I hope you are okay.

Buntingandstarcharts, how are things with you?

It would be nice to keep this thread going so we are able to support each other.

@Hopefulbunny I totally agree! I don't want to lose my ttc friends. How are you and where are you in your cycle? I hope @LG88 is ok. X

@buntingandstarcharts
@Hopefulbunny so sorry, the last few days have been so so hard for us. I had my scan yesterday and it looks like everything with the miscarriage has happened as it should. I have had a huge fall out with my parents who have been no support whatsoever and said some really really awful things to me. It has been one of the toughest weeks I have had and pretty lonely at times. I hope you are both doing well, I would like to see your BFP this month to make me feel better. Xx

@LG88 I was wondering how you were. I'm so sorry your parents said some awful things! How could they at a time like this? I feel so awful for you. Has your husband been supportive? You've just moved too so you must feel so overwhelmed xxxx

Girls how are you?

@buntingandstarcharts I'm good, how are you feeling this month? Positive I hope. One of my best friends has announced this morning that she is pregnant which has made for mixed emotions for me. Obviously I am absolutely delighted for her though. How far are you into the dreaded 2ww? Xx

@LG88 oh that's so hard. It's part excitement, part enviousness, part fear of people pitying you how are you? My period is due on Wednesday, I have PMS so badly, like every month the week before AF. Boohoo. I wonder what will be different when I do eventually get pregnant? I had a blood test which showed I'm ovulating and my husband is going to have his sperm looked at. When will your cycle return to normal. Hope you're ok x

@LG88 @Hopefulbunny you've disappeared 😪😪 my AF is coming. I'm sad 😢

@buntingandstarcharts no I am here, just my phone won't always let me log on to this silly app!! Are you absolutely sure it's the start of your period? My pregnancy symptoms were pretty much identical to the start of my period apart from they were too early..? It's good news that you are ovulating normally. At least having everything checked will give you peace of mind. I have every sympathy with you. I am finding everything a struggle at the moment and not coping well. One day I think I am fine and feel normal again then the next I am angry or in floods of tears again. I haven't felt so low for a long time. When are your husbands tests organised for? Sending you big hugs and lots of love. Xx

Buntingandstarcharts I'm here, do you definitely know AF is on the way?
Its good your blood tests were fine so you know you are ovulating so that reassuring. LG88 sorry to hear you are struggling hope things get better for you very soon and your okay.

Well I was had a positive feeling for this cycle well up until a few days okay when I have now started getting AF cramps, so think maybe Im out now.

@Hopefulbunny cramps are not necessarily a bad thing. Loads of women get them as an early pregnancy sign weirdly. Don't give up yet. When is af due for you? I'm sick of the emotional roller-coaster to be honest. I bounce from feeling normal and reasonably happy to feeling so low and depressed. Also I don't think I have ovulated yet this month so wondering if I am even going to after the miscarriage. TTC is just rubbish!!! Xx

@Hopefulbunny when will you test? I'm sad because my period came. I'm not as crazy as I was last month, month 6 seemed like a milestone of negativity for me. Month 7 is less of a big deal and I know the stats are against me now.

@LG88 you poor poor thing, it sounds like things are horrible for you at the moment. I can't imagine the disappointment of getting a bfp and then your happiness being dashed so quickly. I totally get he swinging between happy and frustrated - it's an emotional rollercoaster that just goes on and on and on. I can't believe it's been so long, we've been so patient etc. My husband is going to have his sperm checked, I think he's worrying too now.

Lots of love girls. Keep positive and @LG88 keep us updated. I've lost all my positive mojo vibes 😪😪😢😢
