Anyone starting the TWW #2

[Gigi318]

Hey ladies, has anyone started a new thread? If so, link it for me and if not here it is!

@Laur89 @Ellsbells112 @Robbo93 @Lauren3118 @Anny27 @Gems7 @Happymumma29 not sure if I missed anyone!

@Gems7 I really hope you get good news🤞 I know what you mean, I'm sitting here getting scared like oh god, I don't want to feel that disappointment of not being pregnant again 😩 x

@anny27 let's hope it does, unfortunately though its more the oil based one that has higher pregnancy rate afterwards, they are bringing it back out now that they have an oil base that doesn't give people bad reactions! I'd be tempted to do the oil based one if still nothing happens for the next 6 months!

@Missgoldilocks yeah I'm scared because I've had some really promising cramps/twinges the last 2 days at 6/7 DPO but I know deep down they could be anything. I've been away from TTC for a few months my body is probably just doing different things. I know it's going to hit me hard though if AF arrives after everything I've been through the last couple of months and I really don't want to feel as low as I know I'm going to feel 😞 .. It hurts doesn't it girls xxx

I'm now on day 36 of my cycle, no period has arrived but I'm getting BFNs! No idea what's going on. I've never had spotting before but I had two episodes of spotting during this cycle, once 7DPO which resembled implantation bleeding, and a very small amount of spotting around the day of my due period. I'm usually quite regular between 28-30 days cycle. Any ideas what I should do? Should I be worried/concerned? Surely if I was pregnant there would be a BFP and I've never missed a period before 🤷🏼‍♀️

@msunflower how long are your cycles usually each month? When was your period due? It can sometimes take a BFP a while to show up..
The only thing you can do really hun is wait for one or the other, I know it's not easy xx

@Gems7 it is usually 28-30 days so I was due 6-8 days ago. I've never had this before so I'm worrying something is wrong with me or my body is doing weird things 🤷🏼‍♀️ at first when I was late, I thought maybe i'm pregnant (we are actively trying) but now it's over a week late and there is still a BFN, I'm really not sure. How long does it take for the HcG to be strong enough on a test? Is it usual to skip a period? I've never skipped one before so I don't know 🙈 I guess I've still got a chance until AF arrives?

@msunflower yes of course you still have a chance, have you been tracking OV with OPK's? It is possible you ovulated a little later this month? HCG varies so much from woman to woman. Maybe give it until the weekend and test again? Are you using a FRER? I'm no expert though, we've all been through our fair share of troubles on this thread unfortunately. I hope you get confirmation of what's going on though either way, why can't things just be straightforward eh! Xx

@Gems7 no as it was our first month we decided to not use OPKS but I have them ready for the next cycle! I wonder if maybe it's to do with when/if I ovulated but doesn't explain the bleeding, either way I'm going to call the GP to check up if it doesn't arrive by tomorrow!

@Gems7 yes, did try a FRER this morning and still nothing, will try once more in the morning and se what happens. I have been tracking my CM and periods pm my app for years so I had all the normal signs that I ovulated when my app said I did, so I just don't know 🤷🏼‍♀️

@msunflower if it's your first month TTC were you on contraception prior to that? If so then that would explain it. I honestly wouldn't worry though. Good luck xx

@Gems7 nope, been off the pill for years so it wasn't that!

@Gems7 I just spoke with the GP over the phone and she thinks it could possibly be an early ectopic pregnancy and she's called the early pregnancy unit at the hospital asking them to call me. She said it may also be that I am pregnant but my HcG levels are still too low. Either way, I will likely have to go in for a blood test to test HcG levels soon and have a call with the hospital - will keep you posted! Feeling a bit nervous as my GP actually called me back after my appointment to say she called the hospital herself on my behalf - just waiting to hear from them now!

@Gems7 it's so heartbreaking xx I really hope we all get good news soon god knows this group needs it! I think you went to post on the crazy gang thread? It said the message had been pulled but I saw your name. That thread used to be very busy but everyone except a few have their bfps now xx

@PrettyTulip how are you? Any update with the doctors? X

@anny27 how are you doing x

@Missgoldilocks omg yes that was so bizarre. I was replying to @Annny27 but it ended up on the wrong board so I requested to have it removed. Occasionally I'll have a flick through the other threads if I'm bored and all I can think is I've posted it on the wrong one by mistake but how I've managed to do that I do not know!! I'm a bit thick when it comes to technology!

Had achy pains again all morning in my general ovary area and lower back only on my left side. Has it on and off for a few days now, does anyone else get this? Xx

@Gems7 I get ovary aches but not back pain too. Did you get the same when you was pregnant? Xx

@Missgoldilocks I think so yes, although all I remember very clearly from before I got my BFP was that I was sooooo bloated like I am right before AF 🤷🏻‍♀️ AF is due Tuesday though so we'll soon see!
@Annny27 have you tested again since Monday? Xx

@Gems7 no but I am having cramps and spotting and its 12dpo so that's how AF starts for me!

Gutted obviously but actual have no tears left to cry about it (that sounds so dramatic 🤣)

So when AF arrives will call the private doctor to set up an appointment!

@Missgoldilocks so many groups that I started in are dwindling down now that they all have their bfps! We sre the ones left behind haha

@gems7 the early pregnancy unit think that my symptoms suggest less likely ectopic but more likely that I had a very early miscarriage unfortunately but will never know for certain 😭 currently trying to get through to my GP who asked me to get back in touch.

@msunflower are you sure you ovulated when you did? If you haven't had a positive test then I doubt that you have had a miscarriage xx

@Annny27 I didn't use opks but have been tracking my cm for years on my app, everything was normal around the time of ovulation with cm as expected for ovulation. The timing of when I bled and the early pregnancy symptoms then them disappearing after the bleeding I had all point to a very early MC I think 😔

@msunflower did you have much bleeding? It could maybe have been a chemical pregnancy.. I would have thought you would have surely seen a BFP though at some point with any kind of loss if you have been testing.. either way it's still rubbish! Really sorry hun xx

@Gems7 I had light bleeding probably about two liners a day for 2-3 days, it came with cramps and nausea and it wasn't like a proper period, no clotting and was super dark in colour. Then I had a tiny bit of spotting, only a wipe about a week ago. I thought the same, surely I would have had a BFP if a MC/chemical, but i can't explain this spotting any other way? Never had it before, not on the pill, and had nausea/cramps/heightened smell. At a loss at what could have happened if not MC/chemical but guess I'll never know unfortunately!

@msunflower our bodies are very confusing at times. I'm 12 months in to TTC and mines still no easier to understand. Good luck for your next cycle though hun xx

@Gems7 it's such a crazy journey, I can't imagine how exhausting it must be 12 months in, thank you and I hope you have a good journey ahead too x

13dpo and bfn so thats me out and onto month 8 after miscarriage and month 14 overall!!!!!! Honestly its scary

@Gems7 anymore symptoms?

@Missgoldilocks Its crazy that we have all been here for so long

@PrettyTulip how are you lovely?
