TWW - testing 4th September

[Blossomingflower94]

Anyone else in the TWW and want to keep each other sane?

:( I still have everything crossed for you. I know how it feels to not want to get your hopes up. Maybe do a test to be sure? Will answer the question for definite then!

What do you have planned for the next month?

Thanks lovely! I'll probably test tomorrow morning unless AF shows up in full force today.

I do have a fairly busy week ahead actually, tomorrow is my birthday so having a nice dinner with OH to celebrate, I have a job interview on Wednesday so need to prepare for that and going to Edinburgh with friends over the weekend! After that I'm not sure though I may need to schedule in a last minute family trip at some point as my grandma is not well 😞 (My family don't live in the UK so it's not just a case of going whenever unfortunately). So I do have plenty on for the month for sure!

Do you have any nice plans for your time off? We've been meaning to do more hikes on days off but the weather is too crappy!

Happy birthday for tomorrow!!

Ooooh new job hopefully then, is it a change from your current job?

Sorry to hear about your nan 😞 I hope she's ok.

Oh my god. I think I'm losing the plot. I took a FRER just now because I was bored and I see a super faint line. Even OH sees it but he says he thinks it needs to be a "linier line" to mean something.

And to answer your question it is a better job (at least from what I know so far) within the same company, slightly different from what I do but there are some similarities, it's project management focused.

Oh. My. Goodness. I really hope it's a line line!!!
I can't wait for the morning for you to test again!!

Thank you! The only test I have left here is the CB early detection, will take that in the morning and try to buy a FRER. Can't believe I wasted that last FRER on a random mid-afternoon pee!

🙈 what a nightmare. Send DP out as an early birthday present to get a test!

Let me know! Good luck!

Haha we debated that but I don't think our local stores stock FRERs, will be gross and save some morning wee, then buy one on my lunch break as I work in the centre. Will keep you posted for sure!

There was maybe a ghost of a line on the CB though the FRER one yesterday was more visible. Either way my bleeding seems to be increasing so it doesn't appear to be sticking ☹️

Oh 💔 I'm so sorry. Damn FRER getting your hopes up.

Have a few drinks today and enjoy your birthday! x

Flashing smiley (as expected) again for me today.

Thanks lovely. I think it was a chemical as I still have sore boobs and nausea, on the bright side that means we can conceive I guess!

Is this day 3 of flashing smileys for you?

😔 has AF officially arrived?

Um no, day 2 for the flashing today.

I'm off for an hour's 'silent meditation' this afternoon. It's meant to be super relaxing and I can't wait!!

We are (well DP doesn't know this) doing SMEP this month. Have started with the every other day since yesterday. Really hoping for the static smile on Thursday as then we have 4 days off together and definitely do the 3 days of DTD in a row.

Yeah sadly heavier bleeding than my usual AF. I guess it's a good thing though as apparently chemicals happen when something is really wrong, like chromozone numbers and such, so it's for the best I'm sure. I think I'll take a break from tracking FW and ovulation this month - both me and OH have grandparents in hospital as of this weekend and things are not looking great so will likely be all over the place. I'll float about here still I'm sure, I'm invested and don't want to miss your BFP ☺️

I love meditation, let me know how it was. Haha "OH doesn't know we're doing SMEP" - sounds like something I'd do 😂

😔 I'm sorry. Glad your feeling ok though. I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason so you're definitely right that it wasn't meant to be.

That's rubbish that you've both got grandparents in hospital. I hope things look up for you soon.

Well the mediation tank was AWESOME. Google sensory deprivation tank and it'll bring up photos . Weird experience but totally calming. Totally lost perception of time.

Thank you, I think you're right!

Wow that sounds interesting, weird but in a good way, must have felt surreal!

Feeling rough today. Think I have a migraine. Was meant to DTD today as we didn't yesterday but I feel disgusting. Will make sure we do tomorrow. Might even get my static smiley tomorrow as the IC OPK's were getting darker today.

How are your grandparents?

CD 12 and static smile this lunch time after a flashing when I woke up. For once shifts allow us 3 days together so we can follow the SMEP. SO HAPPY.

That is brilliant timing, I hope you guys catch on this month! Good luck!

Sorry for going MIA it's been a rough couple of days. My grandma passed away on Tuesday, OH's grandad is in hospital still and improving but still terminal unfortunately. I'm just drained to be honest, having a bit of a tough time juggling it all with work and of course I had to attempt to be perky at the job interview. Not the best week and the next one probably won't be much better TBH.

TTC-wise I don't think I'll track anything this month we'll just have sex if and when we fancy as it's the last thing on my mind at the minute. I don't know if I'll have much time to check back here in the next few weeks but hopefully I'll be in a better mindset when I'm back!

Oh that's horrible news. I'm so sorry 💔 I hope she was comfortable and didn't suffer at all.

Your DP sounds super supportive. Glad you have eachother.

Please look after yourself and allow yourself as much time as you need. You don't need to be upbeat xx

I'll keep checking in here but don't feel like you have to reply or even read them. It's just somewhere for me to offload/document too x

Thank you x

Hi ladies, I'm pretty sure I've had a miscarriage at 5 weeks. I had some bleeding on Tuesday, saw the dr who said it's common but it got slowly worse and today it was red blood with small clots. Today I went back and I did a pregnancy test and the line was fainter then it was the other day. The bleeding is less now so I think whatever's happened it's done, I've got to go back to the doctors on Tuesday and she'll refer me to an early pregnancy unit, couldn't be done today as I'm not 6 weeks yet. My boobs weren't as sore yesterday as they have been so it's all adding up I'm no longer pregnant. Sorry to hear about your grandmother @Raizelrea here for you xxxxxxxx

So sorry to hear that @AliSxo it's good they will see you at the early pregnancy unit to give you some answers. Thank you for your kind words, means a lot as I know you have a lot on your plate!

I'm at my parents' house for a few days now, good to be with family though bone of us our quite ourselves. Feeling very grateful for my OH coming with me (he doesn't speak the language and obviously the circumstances are bot the best). Not sure if we will really TTC this month we'll just see how it goes but we have each other.

@Blossomingflower94 Hope you are enjoying the time off and making the most of your fertile window - don't feel like you can't share that as I'm loving any good news now! We're going to see my friend and her two week old baby tonorrow which I'm very excited for. Hope you get happy news this month, fingers crossed for you.

Oh @alisxo everything crossed for you that it wasn't a miscarriage. Let us know how the scan goes either way 💜

Glad you're with your family, it's the best place to be at the moment.

We managed to make the most of my fertile window. Ov'd yesterday on CD13. Managed to DTD CD8, 10, 11, 12 and 13. Haven't managed today because we've come to visit my family. Really hoping it's enough. Would love for a Christmas announcement for my family.

Hope you're both doing ok. @alisxo did you go for a scan yet?

I'm currently 5DPO and this is the longest tww ever. I think because we DTD so much im really hopeful for the BFP. If it's a bfn I'm going to be so disappointed 😑

Definitely testing a bit early this month as I'll want to know before I go back to work. It affects my job if I'm pregnant so you have to tell them asap.

Lots of love xx
