TWW - testing 4th September

[Blossomingflower94]

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

Aww that's brilliant you must be so excited!! Barley anything on the OPKS, I might have missed it but who knows, if I have, then my period will come next week and I'm onto the next cycle... I think after an MC it's all just settling down but I'm confident I'll be joining you in the pregnancy club soon!! 😘 xxxxx

@Blossomingflower94 How exciting! Looks like your booking appointment is pretty soon to, and yay for desk work!

@AliSxo Maybe you will ovulate later due to the MC? I'm sure this cycle will be a bit unpredictable, fingers crossed for you!

I did end up doing OPKs this cycle, I believe I ovulated yesterday (Tuesday), we DTD on Sunday and Monday but not on the day of ovulation as we weren't in the mood, so we'll see.

Thanks @Raizelrea I've had a darker line this evening than the other days so I've not missed it but I agree I think it'll be a bit all over the place for me this cycle and I shouldn't really be ttc until I've had my AF but plenty of people do and it's part of the healing for me. You've done it plenty so fingers crossed for your BFP!! Can we please keep in touch us 3 on some sort of chat on here, I like hearing about your journeys :) @Blossomingflower94 xx

Oooh glad you've not missed your ovulation. So many people conceive the month after a miscarriage. I really hope this is your month!

Everything crossed for this month if you DTD the day before ovulation @Raizelrea :D

Definitely want to keep in touch! Maybe we could make a super random forum that no one else will understand and that way we're very unlikely to hit 1000 posts?

If there's a way to do a 3 way chat please let me know :) :D

Think i've managed a group message. I might be wrong and have sent it to some random person on here hahahah.

@Blossomingflower94 it hasn't popped up yet but we can talk on here and always start a new thread xxxx how were work when you told them? How's life on the desk? Xxx

Work were lovely. They've given me a few days off to rest as I've come down with a cough and cold. Very sweet of them.

Aww that's so lovely @Blossomingflower94 plenty of rest and hope you're feeling better soon xxx

I got the message - not sure if you can follow it like a regular thread once there's more replies?

Thank you both! I feel semi-positive about our chances as I definitely had EWCM on Monday, and I don't get that every month, so here's hoping for a good environment 😄

@AliSxo Yeah I think it makes sense to keep trying straight away if you're feeling up for it, and I keep hearing your body is meant to be more fertile right after a loss since you still have all the right hormones going. Fingers crossed for you! If the line's getting darker now looks like you're in business 😊 I've only been using OPKs for two months so far but it looks like I tend to have my peak late in the evening and maybe even ovulate over night because the morning after the line gets much weaker again.

@Blossomingflower94 So good to hear work are being supportive! Have you told anyone in your family yet? And how did your OH react?

Hey @Raizelrea how many DPO are you now? EWCM is a really good sign!! According to OPK's I ovulated today, I don't think the line will get any darker tomorrow so I'll count ovulation from today and so technically back in the TWW tomorrow! Have been DTD every other day but doing it every day now probably until Sunday (knackering)!!

@Blossomingflower94 hope your cold is better! Xx

@Raizelrea Work have been great. I am really impressed at how they've planned everything in for me.

So far we have told everyone I would want to know if the worst were to happen. My parents and sister, my 2 best friends and work. Its difficult to keep it a secret in my job because as soon as you go to desk duties everyone knows!

Cold and cough are worse than when we spoke last but better than yesterday - I felt horrific yesterday!

First lot of (proper) nausea today and i'm craving coco pops - I haven't had these since I was a kid! My mum said its totally normal apparently.

@AliSxo Glad you got your +OPK! welcome to the TWW. I'm so hopeful for you both this month. Imagine if we all had babies due in July! That would be so cool!

Keeping everything crossed for you both xx

Hey @Blossomingflower94 @Raizelrea so I either ovulated late Thursday or early Friday I think I'll say yesterday so officially 1DPO today!! Hope you're both doing well xx

Welcome to the TWW. Really hope its your last!

Today has been a day of nausea and vomiting for me. Morning sickness has officially arrived. Good news is I felt better by 10am.

How are you both feeling?

@Blossomingflower94 it's all good signs for you though as it shows your hcg is rising!! Hopefully the nausea isn't too bad for you xxx the earliest I'm willing to test is 10dpo and might try and event stretch it to 12DPO, how many were you when you tested? Xx

Yes I'm currently seeing it as a positive sign that I'm vomiting. If it means a healthy baby I'll continue to spend my mornings in the bathroom!

I tested at 8DPO (LOL) and got a BFN. Then I tested the morning of 10DPO and got a BFP - the noticeable BFP was on boots test strips. They come in a pack of 5 and they are SO sensitive. I could barely see the line on the IC but it was clear on the boots test. Worth a purchase ☺️

Everything crossed 🤞🏼

How are you both?

Hey @Blossomingflower94 good thanks!! Currently 4/5 DPO - think I'll test on Monday as I'll be 10/11DPO - I was going to try and hold for AF to arrive but we'll see!! How are you? Xx how's things @Raizelrea xxx

Everything crossed for you then!! Let us know on Monday. Have you managed to get any boots tests?

I'm ok. Morning sickness in full swing but it's currently bearable.

@Blossomingflower94 just remember the hcg is rising and that's such a positive!!! Which boots test shall I get? I'll deffo get some :) xx

Yes that's what I'm thinking ☺️

It's a multi pack of 5 strip tests. They are so sensitive though!! I got two lines with the test line darker than the control on 12DPO after getting my first + at 10DPO.

I'll get some thanks for the tip! Did you use one of these at 10DPO? Xx

Yes I did. ☺️

Hi both! Sorry I've been MIA I've been so distracted this month. I'm not too bad though just been told my department is under review - needless to say October has not been my month 😄

I'm 8 DPO I think, no real symptoms - no nausea at all which I did have last cycle. I do have loads of white creamy CM but then I feel like I've just had loads more CM this cycle than usual im general. I'll probably test on Friday and/or Saturday. Haven't really thought about TTC much this month (which could be a good thing I suppose).

@Blossomingflower94 Sorry you're feeling sick but you're right at this stage it must be quite reassuring since there's not much else to go on yet other than the symptoms. Yeah can imagine it being tricky at work with everyone sort of knowing because of your reassignment, at least you don't have to make up excuses though!

@AliSxo Sounds like you've been busy, hope it's your month. Not long till Monday! Let me know how you get on with the boots tests - I think I still have FRER at home so will probably use that.

Hey @Raizelrea I hope it's your month!! I'm 6dpo today and going to test Sunday with a FRER so fingers crossed!! No symptoms yet really just tired and hot but may just be a cold coming on, my boobs only get sore a few days before AF is due so fine for now xxx

@AliSxo Ah ok so you'll be 10 DPO when you test like me tomorrow 😊 I don't really have hugely high expectations this month but we're meant to go out for a few drinks after work tomorrow and going to a housewarming party on Saturday so just want to check before drinking!
