Anyone in the TWW???

[RoRosmama]

Hi everyone,

So as the title says is there anyone in the TWW?
DH and I said we would try for number 2 after summer but whoops we've had a couple of slips. I looked at my ovulation app (which has never failed me before to get pregnant) and both times it was in my fertile days.

So here's the confusion.. I apparently was in my fertile days from 8th-13th June.
13th June being the day of ovulation. We DTD 8th June and 11th June. The last couple of days I have had very bad cramps low down. This can't be implantation yet so was it ovulation pains? My CM was snot like some of it thick but also some of it was slippery too sorry TMI!! am so confused, feeling I've missed the boat.
This TWW is stressful. I've never temped or taken OPK's as it's always been quite easy for me to fall pregnant (I've had a lot of miscarriages )
We are lucky enough to have a DD though.
DH is actually quite excited that we could be pregnant but I just don't know and feeling quite impatient!

Love to hear from you guys and your stories too!

@Kiza if you're over 35 NHS website says you can be checked out within 6months of trying. So you can get in there and do those tests. My mother was 38 and 39 when she had her next two. It took her 5 years of trying to have the first the cliche 'she stopped trying' then my youngest sister appeared. So there's loads of success happening.

@Treaclepie19 you're right, do what's best for you. Best of luck with the running :) and enjoy your holiday.
It's my wedding anniversary this weekend so we are going away. :)

@MrsHufflepuffMS oh lovely! I hope you have a great time :)

Thank you, I'm still hoping we will change our minds to be honest.

@Kiza no not been trying but after 4 weeks there should be no hormone left, I inverted it and you could see it slightly better, it's so hard to get a picture sometimes

@MrsHufflepuffMS that's what I thought but I went to a different gp a few months ago (lived in a different area) and she said we had to wait a year? 🤷🏼‍♀️
Wow can't believe it took your mum 5 years?

@Treaclepie19 hope you have a fab holiday and the weather holds out! A nice relaxing break for you either way
@Mumof4andahalf maybe test again in a couple of days and see if anything stronger comes through?

Hi girls this might be TMI but what does implantation bleeding look like? Cramps are quite bad it feels like things should be a lot heavier then they are. My first day things are normally really dark red where as this is light red... bit different... it's not mega heavy but it's not mega light either.
Thanks
@RoRosmama @Treaclepie19 @Kiza @kiza
Sorry if it's too personal or people might not know. :)

@MrsHufflepuffMS theres a whole range of implantation bleeding! From a few spots to what I had last pregnancy which felt like a miscarriage. I had horrendous back pains and blood like a light to medium period.
That was about 4w and a couple of days after I'd got my bfp.

@treaclepie19 thanks, I don't know if I'm in denial or not. Theres mucus red stuff when I wipe, and nothing in the bad. The cramps feel like I should be really heavy. If this is my period its technically two days early ?

Nothing in the pad*

@MrsHufflepuffMS sorry I've never had implantation bleeding all the 3 times I was pregnant. I've had some weird blood a few days before period though, this last month I had fresh red blood when wiping in the morning, then nothing all day. Happened 3 days in a row then period came in full force a week early, really odd.

Also went to the GP yesterday and they said they do semen analysis before female investigations but the GP couldn't explain why? Not that I'm fussed but just curious.... maybe because semen analysis is simpler and cheaper? 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Kiza maybe like you say they test the boys first cos it's just easier. Theres just one component to check?
I'm still having a weird one, when I wipe it's kinda like a clear red? Then further inside is a bit more red. I took a test and it was a BFN.
Thing is, cos I'm on holiday, I wanna have a drink! But just cos of that small small small chance, I won't.
I thought I sounded ridiculous when I said it out loud. I'm experiencing a period...and I'm still holding on to hope. 😭

@MrsHufflepuffMS it's understandable you're holding on to hope- we all do it!
I'm sure if you have 1 drink it won't make any difference, my sister didn't know she was pregnant for a while, continued to smoke and drink and my little nephew is fit and healthy as anything!

@Kiza Hey just to update. I'm still lightly bleeding and still cramping a little. This is very strange cos as off tomorrow that'll be a week. Normally, I'm three days very max and heavy one. I'm becoming a bit worried :/
I've taken a test and it was negative.

@MrsHufflepuffMS when is AF due again?

Hey all!
@MrsHufflepuffMS how are you doing? Are you cramping badly with the bleeding? Urgh I'm so frustrated for you, can't imagine how you feel!!
@Kiza how's things with you hun?
@Treaclepie19 I hope you're on holiday and relaxing and having the most fabulous time 😊

I'm doing ok. I've been really quite unwell and it's depressed me big time. I suffer with depression and anxiety so perinatal have been in touch with me which is good and I'll be seeing a lady on 21st August. Other than that I am just getting on with things, still nauseas as hell!
DD is keeping me very busy and helping takin my mind off things 😊 anyway I should stop complaining really.

@RoRosmama How are you? No not bad as in not unbearable. I had pretty bad pains on day two. Enough to take paracetamol but really nothing abnormal.
Now I've has cramps, like a bit like bloated cramps, today and yesterday. Tomorrow is day 7.

@Kiza Af was due on the 4th or 5th. This pain and light bleeding started friday 2nd.

Hi everyone I'm new to netmums I was just looking for some help so I have been having 31 day cycles in the past five months because of the copper coil I had it removes on the 19th July 19 ... And I am on cycle day 17 I got a flashing smiley face yesterday on my clear blue ovulation test and today a static smiley face which I am so excited about.. my question is this am I still able to conceive this month with such a long cyle ? Any help would be most appreciated thanks

@MrsHufflepuffMS have you been to see the doc about it at all? They could maybe shed some light? Has the bleeding stopped now?
I'm doing ok. Very tired and very nauseas but that's to be expected. I also look about 7 mo the pregnant, it's embarrassing. I'm only 10 weeks!
@BarbaraD welcome!! My cycles average 32 days and have been for years. I'm pretty sure you will be able to conceive.

@MrsHufflepuffMS sorry about the delayed response, was up in Scotland over the weekend. How's things now?
@RoRosmama I'm not doing great tbh, been really struggling this last month or so and feeling low, tearful and angry about a number of things related to TTC. Even added stress of going to the GP for tests and turns out they've messed us around and I've been on the phone for 2 hours this morning trying to sort it and ended up crying down the phone to about 4 different people (out of the 10 I called).
Think I'm going to ask the GP for some fertility counselling.

@Kiza I'm not too bad. What ever it was it took 7 days to stop. All I can do is see how this month goes. Third times the charm? Right?! I'm sorry you're feeling so low, it's good you're really focusing on yourself. We're here for you to rant at. Xx
@RoRosmama I'm so happy for you, even if pregancy isn't always comfortable there's gotta still be excitement. I did consider going to the doctors cos it was that weird. I wonder what will happen this month...
I'm very much focusing on losing weight as of this month. I hope it helps.

@MrsHufflepuffMS so strange that it sounds like a super light period, when did you last take a pregnancy test? Just wondering if it's worth taking another one if the last one was Thursday?
@BarbaraD Hi and welcome ☺️ if you ovulated then sure you can conceive, although I'm aware your message was from Thursday last week but if you DTD just before you ovulated and during (and even after) then you're still in with a chance

@Kiza I took a cheap one yesterday. Still BFN. :( :(

@MrsHufflepuffMS I'm sorry, maybe it was just a really annoying light period that has understandably frustrated you.
