Who's joining me on the TWW?

[MrsLBear]

Hey ladies
I know there's lots of threads out there for this but who's joining me?
I think I'm either 1 or 2 DPO - got a static smiley on a clear blue digital OPK on Wednesday and annoyingly didn't have any IC to test when I did actually O nor am I temping so guessing I O'd either Thursday or Friday.
I am determined NOT to symptom spot but realistically I will 😂

@Elles1980 Thank you! I have days where I think it's worked this month and others where I feel completely normal and disheartened. It's so hard to completely switch off from it. Every month I say I'm going to chill out but inevitably I do the complete opposite! TMI I have had alot of creamy cm this month but not sure if that's normal for me, only time will tell I guess! How long have you been trying?

Can I jump in?!

32
TTC #1 for 2 years :(
1 round of IVF, first transfer caught but MC at 5 weeks
1 embryo left in ice but having a break

Currently at 6 or 7dpo. Got a smiley on 3rd July but also a strong IC ov test on 4th July. Lots of DTD! AF due 20th July.

Wondering if the IVF catching means its women up my body and we could of caught?! 🤞🏻 Trying desperately not to POAS!

Good luck too all

@Elles1980 yes I go to SlimmingWorld too. I lost 19lbs then was off for a wee break and had an operation 3 weeks ago, went back on Saturday and had gained 11.5lbs 😱 partly due to the op and partly being greedy.

Your daughter is Eva? That's my girls name too, she'll be 4 in October 😍

@michellebops I'm a massive looser (in more than one way haha) but I gain massively also! Yes my daughter is Eva, you obviously have great taste lol!
@LouLouB1987 I got caught in march first try using the clear blue fertility monitor, sadly we lost the baby at 10 weeks on may 28th. Waited for one af and ready to go again. IV been told that after a MC it can make you super fertile so it may very well be that for you! You will have to keep us posted! I know it's a crazy old rollercoaster of ups and downs but I'm just trying to break it down into two week parts rather than a whole month (if that makes sense) and remembering why we want a baby. We're quite a positive couple so we are good at keeping each other happy and uplifted, and I usually keep my inner pyscho to myself but now I have you wonderful ladies to share my crazy with hahaha xx

hi,

I had a line on an opk yesterday evening but it wasnt as dark as the control line.
I came off pill end of may and had a withdrawal bleed but have had nothing since so not sure what the line means..

Fingers crossed it means i'm ovulating or ovulating soon and hopefully i'll be joining you on the TWW 🤞🤞 x

How's everyone today? I'm feeling a bit shit today, haven't got any symptoms at all and just don't feel like this month is going to be my month. 6dpo today and just want it to be over already!

@maria2bela I feel exactly the same today. I'm 10dpo and feel like normal PMS. Trying to tell myself that there's still a chance but I'm not convinced. When are you testing?

Hi, I've been debating joining a conception thread but I think now I'd like to join if that's ok 😬
I'm 30 years old and currently ttc my second child but it'll be my third pregnancy as we unfortunately suffered stillbirth at 31weeks in March, I also have a DS who will turn
3 in September. Or I'm not sure to say my third child, it's so confusing to be honest but all I know is I'm desperate to be pregnant again and hopefully have a healthy baby at the end. I've had two cycles which were pretty regular so I'm hoping my dates are ok this month.
Currently 10dpo - this is a rough estimate as I'm using an ovulation calculator on my phone and not ovulation sticks. We managed to DTD 5 times over 7 days so I'm hoping that's enough 🤞🏻 however as it's only my third cycle I can't be sure 100%. I fell pregnant with my son after 3 months and with my daughter 10 months so I'm not holding my breath as this is our first month but it'd be amazing if I did and it'd really help me mentally and emotionally after our loss.
I've had a slight upset stomach yesterday and this morning and I've felt absolutely exhausted but that could be just from looking after a toddler! We're going away to the seaside this weekend and according to my app I should test Sunday so hoping to stay too occupied to test and if no period by Monday I'll test then - good luck to all x

@largepinotplease I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I'm also 10dpo and due to test on Sunday, although I'll wait as long as I can because I hate seeing negatives. I've got my fingers crossed for you that this is your month! Keep us posted

@largepinotplease welcome to the thread! I am so sorry to hear about your recent loss. TTC can be really emotionally hard, even more so when you have just suffered a loss. Many of the women on this thread have experienced similar heartbreak and it's sometimes helpful to lean on others who know how you might be feeling.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you this Monday but of course, it is early days. Try and stay sane (it's pretty tough to not go POAS mad!). Baby dust to you 🧚

@Elles1980 wise words! And thank you! Just keeping our fingers crossed and legs open!

I'm so so sorry to hear of your loss @largepinotplease. Wishing you all the best on this journey.
Your so good for holding out. I'm determined to just get myself to 10dpo before I test. Luckily I don't have any frers at home so can't be tempted until I buy some.
Did you use opks to detect o day?

Thank you everyone, it's been a tough few months but my amazing DH has been a massive support (considering it was his loss too) and my gorgeous ds had just been a life saver, I'm so relieved he's too young to understand what's been going on.
I've not used anything other than an ovulation app so I technically don't know my exact dates I've just gone by the two periods I had and DTD a lot 🙈 but it is still early days so I'm really trying not to get my hopes up. It was just so hard as around my due date everyone in the world seemed to be having babies or announcing pregnancies but I'm not begrudging anyone their happy news I'm just sad for myself but I'm confident my time will come again.
It's nice to be in the company of people in similar situations, this isn't something I'm telling people in much detail in real life right now x

@Izzie1994 I think I'll test on Sunday at 10dpo, early I know but that's pretty much when AF is due as I ovulate late in my cycle. Currently driving myself insane!

@largepinotplease that's why MN is so amazing. You can vent, chat and everything in between about everything you're going through without judgment or someone holding on to everything you're saying too much.
I'm sure it keeps many of us sane. It does me as I feel like I can't really let anyone know how all this whole TTC thing is making me feel. After 13 months of it, I've felt every emotion possible! It's so hard when it feels like everyone and their aunt are falling pg. My due date would have been September and I said that I pray that I'm pg again by then but at this rate I doubt that'll happen. Not being a negative nelly but just being real and I swear to god if one more person says it'll happen when it does or don't stress it'll happen I will punch them 😂

@maria2bela I'm plan on on poas on Sunday too cos I will be 10dpo then too.
I know it's probs a bit early but I couldn't poas during the week as mornings are too mental and I couldn't possibly wait until the following weekend!! How have you been feeling?

@maria2bela @MrsLbear I'm always to scared to test early because I know if it's negative I'll still convince myself it's too early and will end up doing loads of tests! It's an expensive hobby! Im 10dpo today but honestly feel no different so I have 0 hope in the month.

@largepinotplease I'm sorry to read your story.
I can't imagine what you're going through.
💔
I had a miscarriage last October and had to go through friends announcements and my due date was April and I know how hard that was.

I would definitely say you're trying for your 3rd child as your beautiful girl was your baby and she counted. She has a name and will be registered and you felt her move inside you. I understand it's quite raw and will be difficult to tell your story but your son will grow up to learn about his sister.

My friends mum had a baby who was stillborn and my friend talks about her brother as does her mum talk about the difference between her pregnancies. She went only to have a 3rd a year or 2 later.
Wishing you lots of luck ❤️

@MrsLBear Yes defo! We can be testing buddies at 10dpo lol, let's see what Sunday brings!

@Izzie1994 I know it's always a risk testing early but I just don't think I'll be able to hold off much longer than that! X

@largepinotplease im so sorry for your loss, wishing you all the luck in the world! Ive only been using an app until this month and im every 28 days like clockwork, always try to track symptoms too

@largepinotplease, sorry to hear of your loss. I am keeping everything crossed for you that your upset stomach is a wee baby!

Ladies, just need abit of help!

I'm 5dpo and at about 10pm went to the loo and found Brown discharge. Has anyone else experienced it? I've now got a dull ache in my stomach and a couple of twinges. Is 5/6dpo early for implantation?

5/6 dpo is ideal timing for implantation x

@Herewegoagain89 juat looking back at dates from when I had DD and I remember after DTD I got spotting and really strong pains for one day. Just done the maths and that was 5 days after DTD. Couldn't tell you what O day I was on though as she wasn't planned

How is everyone this morning? I'm confused today. I woke up to some EWCM so thought I'd do an OPK and it's not positive but it is pretty dark considering AF is due on Sunday..... Not sure what to make or it. I'll attach a picture
