TWW

[MrssC92]

Is anyone just starting the TWW? I'm 1dpo and already counting down the days until I can test. Would love someone to keep me sane

I use First Response tests every month. They are pretty much the standard tests used by MNers.

Thankyou, I plan on testing in the morning and just wanted to know if they are good or not

🤞

Did you test again this morning @AmyLouise

I got my bfp this morning! I can't stop smiling.

Congratulations @BecauseItIz! Hoping for a healthy 9 months for you!

Congratulations @BecauseItIz so happy for you 😊

I haven't tested yet, honestly I'm too scared too but I plan on testing very soon, i think I'm Gunna wait to see if AF shows up cos it's either tomorrow or the next day she's meant to show so fingers crossed she stays away

Congratulations!!! Hopefully you’ve started the trend. I’m going to test tomorrow morning but I’m trying not to get my hopes up.

Have any of u ladies heard of using a menstral cup to help with getting pregnant?
I was going to give it a go as I've been trying for over a year now

I haven’t but I’m assuming you put it in after DTD to stop any leakage?

I'm joining, this is our first month and to be honest think i'm out. Am due AF around this time (though hard to know as had depo for ten years between two pregnancies so only had like 2 periods in that time).

Came off depo in early July, had AF around the 28th/29th July so expecting it any day. Have tested and a negative so imagine its on its way

Thank you @MrssC92 @AmyLouise @BeingATwatItsABingThing
Fx you all get yours really soon.

I had some of the same symptoms as you @AmyLouise and some other ones. I knew I was before I tested as my boobs were full and tender and that's not a usual pms symptom for me.

@BeingATwatItsABingThing Have you had any symptoms this tww?

I’ve been feeling pretty sick and keep getting cramps and twinges in the right side specifically, not just generalised. I’ve been really snappy with DH and I’m really tired but struggling to sleep. 🤞

Hi ladies, can I join. TCC #2. Had a MMC at 12 weeks end of May. This is my second cycle trying after miscarriage. Got my static smiley on clear blue today so 1dpo will be Saturday. Due AF around the 11th.

That sounds encouraging! I'm struggling to sleep as well and keep waking up to go to the toilet. The cramps are horrible. I'm getting them worse than af time and also bad lower back pain but I'm still smiling. Hope you get your bfp in the morning!

@BecauseItIz I feel like I am, as some of the symptoms I've got I've never had them before pms, but I'm so scared to test 😔 also I've been so moody like one sec I'm fine the next I'm really upset 🙈

@BeingATwatIsABingThing I've had the same symptoms as you this 2ww, have your cramps been uncomfortable at any point?

Uncomfortable but not unbearable.

So I tested this morning and nothing conclusive. I think I can maybe see something there but I’m not getting my hopes up. Will try again on Sunday is AF hasn’t arrived. According to my various apps, she’s due Sunday but I OVd later than normal...

That's frustrating but it is still early you're not out yet. I didn't get my bpf til I was 2 days late but it wasn't a first responser.

Help! What is going on with my chart? I got my OPK+ on CD18. I ovulated and had an ovulation dip on CD19. My BBT temps rose significantly for 2 days and today, 3DPO, I had another massive BBT dip.

I’m super worried that I have a Luteal Phase Defect and not producing enough Progesterone in the LP.

I’m already taking Vitex, Ubiquinol, Myo-Inositol, Magnesium, Zinc, Chromium, Vit C, Vit D3, B-50 Complex, pre-conception vit, Baby Aspirin and loads of Nettle Tea (I also drank Raspberry Leaf & Red Clover Teas up to Ov).

Is there anything else I can do to help raise my Progesterone in the Luteal Phase?

I’m 38 yrs old and I’ve had a big temperature drop 3DPO (significant ovulation BBT dip on CD19 followed by 2 high BBT readings on 1DPO & 2DPO). I’m really concerned about this massive temperature drop only 3DPO - it’s way too early for implantation, so the only explanation I can think of is that I have a LP Defect/not producing enough Progesterone.

This is only Cycle #2, so I can’t go to the GP for tests for another 3 cycles.

Are there any herbs or supplements I can add to my stack that MAY help my body produce more Progesterone in the LP? Xxx

Hi All,

Hope you don't mind me joining?

I was 27 yesterday and TTC #1

I came off the pill on 25th May and haven't had AF since, only a withdrawal bleed on 30th May.

I went to the doctors last Thursday for a blood test and everything came back as normal and was told to wait it out for another 2 months.

So yesterday was my birthday and I had some pain in my right ovary area.. So I decided to do an OPK just on the off chance after work about 5pm and got quite a dark line near enough straight away but not as dark as the control line. Then i decided to do another at 10pm to see if there was any difference and it was a positive!!!! I have attached pictures of both.

Literally so happy! So now in the TWW, finally!!

xx

Mrsccc

Welcome. I’m pleased to hear about your OPK+. Let’s hope you won’t have another AF for 9 months.

@BeingATwatItsABingThing Thank you! I hope so!!!

OK, so, after some frenzied research, it appears that around 2DPO-5DPO you can get something called a “Corpus Luteum Dip”. The Corpus Luteum takes over and you can get a hormone surge because of this. Apparently it can happen again between 6-9DPO... and then you have the possibility of another BBT dip at implantation.

I’m a little less concerned, now, but hoping for a 3 day sustained temp spike to confirm Ov and sufficient Progesterone. X
