TWW starts now, join me!

Anybody starting their tww?
Mine starts today, my app says test on the 25th so I'm challenging myself not to test early this time!

Come join me for 14 days of symptom spotting and a healthy dose of moaning about mean AF.

@Scottish it's only around a 20% chance of pregnancy each month due to egg quality, implantation and it would seem a billion other factors!

There is so much doing the rounds at the moment but fingers crossed it's a symptom! Feel better soon x

tedsy · 13/02/2019 21:11

@Scottish1 ha ha I've done that too... there seem to be ALOT of pregnant women at the moment 🙂

Scottish1 · 13/02/2019 21:39

Thank you @HeartvsHead Soooo depressing about the 20% chance 😭

Leleophants · 13/02/2019 21:50

Also have a cold - have read this might be implantation! Or just ovulating (haven't used sticks yet as first cycle). Dtd 4 days ago so unlikely.

Not reading into things at all Grin

Hi everyone hope you're ok! Just had my second lot of blood results projesterone came back at 13.5 which she said is positive as first lot were 5.6 she said to go for another lot this time on day 16 of cycle and if similar results next would be a referral to fertility clinic for more blood tests and scans, just frustrating another month to wait to go.

HeartvsHead · 14/02/2019 20:04

@Lauraliverpool does that mean it's improving?
The waiting is the worst bit about trying to conceive for sure. Waiting to ov, waiting to poss, waiting waiting waiting!

Lauraliverpool · 14/02/2019 20:24

@HeartvsHead it's about 3 times higher than the first time and the doctor said it's positive just my cycles have varied since last June by 23/24/25 days so may have been going wrong day. Some many things to wait for.

Scottish1 · 14/02/2019 21:44

@LauraLiverpool glad you are making progress with it all xx

Lauraliverpool · 15/02/2019 00:17

@Scottish1 thank you so am I. Hope you are ok. Xx

All sounding very positive in this thread!

5dpo, anyone else around that? Can trapped wind pain be anything? Blush

Do you count first peak day on cbm as ovulation day or day after @ShortandSweet ?

Scottish1 · 15/02/2019 06:33

If I am counting from day after peak then I am 5dpo today too @ShortandSeet x

ShortandSweet96 · 15/02/2019 07:29

@scottish1 yes I also count from the day after peak. How are you feeling?

OP posts:
Scottish1 · 15/02/2019 10:28

More relaxed than last month and telling myself I’m not pregnant as realising how low the chances are-so lowered my expectations!
Have done so much this month though: got peak on CBFM, smep done except for last day, have been taking Ubiquinol and seven seas, eating Brazil nuts and pineapple core 😂 Maybe I’m trying too hard! We’ll see what happens and if no luck, just keep going!

How are you feeling @ShortandSweet ? Are you going to test early? I’m not this month xx

Scottish1 · 15/02/2019 10:29

Oh, and used preseed! Not much left to try next month 😂

Doris19 · 15/02/2019 11:15

@Scottish1 what is the relevance of pineapple and Brazil nuts??

Think I ov'd yesterday so here comes the fun of the TWW! Not too far behind you guys @ShortandSweet96 @Scottish1

Only managed to dtd twice this cycle as DH was away so we'll see...

What's going on with others? @tedsy I think you are same timing as me?

@Lauraliverpool sounds like you are getting some answers albeit slower than you would like which must be frustrating. But sounds like there's some positive news in the results though! Thinking of you

@HeartvsHead Are you doing OPK this month??

ShortandSweet96 · 15/02/2019 11:20

Sounds promising! @scottish1. I really need to get onto some preseed! They say it always happens when you least expect it so if you think it won't be your month.. maybe it will.

I'm hanging on by a thread not testing early! I keep having random "oh only X amount of days until I can test" but then I think about it and realise I don't want to this month. I get my hopes up far too easily!

Scottish1 · 15/02/2019 12:13

@Doris19 Brazil nuts contain Selenium and pineapple core contains bromelain and both could help with implantation-apparently... there’s loads on the internet about them but they won’t be the magic bullets I’m sure! I’m just trying everything and I like Brazil nuts and pineapple anyway! I blend the pineapple core with pineapple and make a smoothie x

Scottish1 · 15/02/2019 12:14

@ShortandSweet I know! I’m off next week too so have to keep myself busy! 😂

tedsy · 15/02/2019 12:50

@Doris19 looks like we are same timings. I ovulated yesterday so I'm heading into tww. Not sure how I feel about this month, i tried much more than normal this month, so think I'll be disappointed if it's not my month, but then so used to seeing negatives now it wouldn't be a surprise

How's your month going?

Lauraliverpool · 15/02/2019 12:51

@Doris19 I am getting a bit frustrated now would rather just start the ball rolling now in terms of being referred but the doctor said go for blood test one more time and then if similar results referral to fertility clinic. Does 13.5 mean ovulation happened?, I don't know what the level should be. Hope you are ok! X

Mooey89 · 15/02/2019 13:44

I was supposed to OV according to app yesterday but opk was still a little feint, just taken this one, would you take that as positive?
And stupid question, does that mean ov today or tomorrow?

TWW starts now, join me!
Mooey89 · 15/02/2019 13:45

(And yes I am in the bath and yes it does need a clean 😂)

Doris19 · 15/02/2019 13:47

@Lauraliverpool I thought the base line was around 10 so 13.6 sounds good especially by comparison to your earlier result but must say I have not personally got any experience with the progesterone testing.

@tedsy I feel that I am really behind in the maximising chances/opportunities stakes 🙀 other than OPK have not really been doing much. It seems there's so much that you can research, do, try etc. Am trying to stay chilled as last month I'm sure my obsessive TWW contributed to late AF!

Going to try to wait until 10 dpo before I start testing! I wasted so much £££ last month on early pregnancy tests 🙈

tedsy · 15/02/2019 13:48

@Mooey89 looks positive to me but I'm no expert, I've been using clear blue with the smiley faces - much clearer to interpret
