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!

@Annny27 just cramps/stitches/lower back twinges but not constantly, I just feel weird!!
I'm 9DPO today which upset me this morning because I thought I was 10DPO 🤣 I had the wrong DPO in my head for the last few days!
Should start spotting sat/sun (or even fri) if AF is coming and I am just praying I don't.. but I don't feel pregnant and I really don't think I am going to get my BFP this month. 😏 xx

@Gems7 I know I sounds like a broken record but it really does suck right now

I actually don't want to see friends or family incase they ask about ttc or when we will have babies. Its too depressing!

Have you tested? I am 14dpo and just waiting for AF either today or tomorrow now

@Annny27 are you still spotting?
I haven't tested no, I am 10DPO today, really don't think I'm pregnant though. AF should be here Tuesday for me and I'm expecting some spotting before hand for a couple of days.
It's just so shit isn't it 😒 it's been 12 months TTC in total now for me and I'm just so fed up and upset with it. I feel really hard done by, like why do we all have to go through so much heartache on this thread? It's not fair!!

I know so many people who are pregnant at the moment aswell, and my sister is not far off being due now, it all really gets me down. When I think about it I could literally burst into tears!

Sorry I'm not cheering you up haha

Xxx

@gems7 it hasn't been as much spotting as I usually have but I have had some. Yep this is month 7 moving onto month 8 after miscarriage and 13th/14th month total from when we started ttc in June 2019!

Well fingers crossed she stays away, you could be one of rhe lucky fertile after miscarriage people!!!

@Annny27 @Gems7 oh girls it's so shit I feel exactly the same. I'm. Only 5 dpo but pretty sure we haven't done it once again 12 month for me too. I literally want to burst into tears all the time I'm so desperate to get pregnant! I'm thinking of getting letrozole or something to boost ovulation and consistently taken it for a few months!! It's so depressing and we are all in the same boat so it's hard to be like yeaaaa to another month we've got this 😕 I've got primrose oil inositol and syringes ready for next month in my amazon basket I will be doing self insemination as well as dtd next month if af comes pretty sure it will (shit just can't be positive anymore) xx

@Missgoldilocks what kind of syringes - like calpol medicine syringes?

I am tempted tbh! I feel like maybe I would do that every other day or something and then dtd on the alternate days - its worth a shot isnt it!

I think the worst thing is that we all ovulate so its not even something as simple as getting clomid to start ovulation then everything would be okay! We ovulaye and STILL not pregnant 😭😭

@anny27 I know, but its still given to people who ovulate because it'll make them ovulate twice in one month so more of a chance etc. The doctor was even telling me he could give me trigger shots to help ovulation but I'm not ready for any of that right now. Anyway my OH really wants a baby now and he said if nothing by January we will do ivf.
They're 1ml syringes on amazon Kind of like calpol ones but better. I know I think it would really help us even if we just dtd the day before ovulation and all the other days just do self insemination lol

@gems7 HcG levels came back normal/BFN which means it could have been a v.early MC. The spotting doesn't make an awful lot of sense otherwise and AF is 10 days late/no symptoms of of arriving. Will start OPKS tomorrow. Can I even ovulate if my period hasn't arrived? So confused about where I am even in my cycle right now after this! 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Annny27 Trust me babe I won't be.. just did a cheap amazon test after work, BFN I know I'm only 10DPO but I know I'm not pregnant, i think when you have been TTC as long as we have, you kind of just "know"
It's just shit!
Every time I open the drawer on my dressing table I see my big bundle of positive pregnancy tests from before my MC and it's just so depressing! 😔 I'm going to have to move them.

@Missgoldilocks tell me more about these syringes.. what do you do.. is it really just as simple as it sounds? 🤔 I'm with you on the ivf, think I will look at that around the same time if I'm not pregnant. Would probably only be able to afford one cycle though.. still keeping my fingers crossed that neither of us will need it though🤞🏻

@msunflower it really is a mystery isn't it! I had a miscarriage in May so I know what it feels like waiting for AF to come.. makes it worse that we are so powerless when it comes to TTC, getting pregnant on your first try though should fill you with some positivity. Xx

@Gems7 I'm sorry you had to go through that 😔 I was just thinking this actually, just hope we get both get a sticky bean soon 🤞🏻

@Gems7 sorry about your bfn 😩🤗 it doesn't get easier so sending you love xx
Yeah people do it differently, they syringe out of a plastic cup then put the syringe straight in the vajayjay leave it in there for 20 mins with legs propped up, or use a soft cup to hold it all up there after syringing it in, but you need to leave the syringe in for 20 mins lol. Its as simple as it sounds and you don't have to have sex, a lot of people are doing it who feel too much pressure from conceiving. This way you can have sperm in you every day but only dtd as much as you want xx

@Missgoldilocks that's a good idea! When we weren't ttc our sex drive is like every 3/4 days and we are happy with that but its just not enough for ttc so those extra days do feel like a chore to me!

@gems7 sorry about bfn :( I hate seeing them!

Because its my first i will get 1 free round of ivf on nhs but some places get 3! Not fair for my area

@anny27 with self insemination we will actually be able to follow smep hahaha
6dpo today woke up with a banging headache, is that because of all the cake I ate last night tho 😂

@Missgoldilocks I looked back and I had headaches on and off for several days before my BFP!! If you don't get them usually like I didnt then I would say that's a really positive sign!! Xx

11DPO for me and just had some brown discharge when I wiped, bloody marvelous! Here comes AF! 😔 xx

Sorry ladies haven't been on for a few days, hope you're all okay?

Quick update on me cos I know you love my dodgy cycles 😂

• started spotting about 3 weeks ago. Which then led to a heavyish 'period' which has lasted the last 2 weeks 😳 it's bright red and full of clots so I can assume it's healthy fresh blood? 🤷‍♀️

Received a letter from the hospital to say I've been discharged from gynae but they want my drs to refer me to the infertility clinic at the hospital (why they cannot do this themselves...) as my progesterone levels were low indicating non-ovulatory and therefore to consider having ovulation inducing??
No idea what's going on tbh. I originally went to the drs with a blood pressure issue so I'm guessing that's just been forgotten about 😂😂

@Gems7 are you sure it's deffo AF? It's annoying both situations have the same symptoms 😠

Awwh thats frustrating when the apotting starts and you know AF is on the way 😭😭😭 @gems7

I am 15dpo and usually my period arrives today but just had brown spotting so far so will probs arrive tonight. I know i am not pregnant as had bfn yesterday!

@PrettyTulip I think you are gonna fall quick after you get some ovulation tablets 🤞🤞🤞

@Missgoldilocks yep they just have to do it in a cup and then leave the rest to you haha

@PrettyTulip I think so yeah, my last AF started with brown spotting a couple of days before, I've had cramps for days, more or less since ovulation so was trying to be positive too but I know in my heart it's AF 😔 so deflating, I'm so upset, had a little cry then ate a terrys chocolate orange FFS and now I'm going to spend all night regretting it! 😭🐷
I think your weird cycles have Defo been down to a progesterone issue, once you get that sorted out I think it will happen quickly for you.

@Annny27 it's so shit! Roll on next cycle! Xx

@PrettyTulip we glad you are finally getting referred to the right place!! I did think your cycles were odd, perhaps pcos? My friend has it and doesn't look like she has if you get my drift no extra hair and she's slim but defo got it and that can cause you to not ovulate. Hopefully they can give you everything you need and the you will be smooth sailing and time is on your side with your age! Xx

@Gems7 I'm sorry 🙏😢😔❤️ I know its so shit and we all deserve our bfps - 6 our sticky bfps. Xxx

@Gems7 so sorry if it is AF. This journey is so so hard & not telling anyone (for me) in person makes it even harder as I'm constantly getting asked when me and hubby are having children 😔

Cheers for the support girls. I'll keep you posted when I finally get an appt etc. Fingers crossed it will be plain sailing with the medication (if that's what they give me?) it's been a long 19 months 💔

@gems7 today I've started having the same sort of spotting I had 7DPO which resembled implantation (or now looks to be a early MC), it's definitely not like a AF bleed, I'm guessing this is my body flushing itself out of what happened? I've got some light cramping and nausea with it again too, and feel devoid of all energy 😔

@msunflower yeah I have some cramping too and pale brown discharge mixed with CM, awful isn't it, We go through a lot us women!! I've been miserable all day and eaten a full chocolate orange to myself like a right fat bitch 🤮 I'm going to fill my hot water bottle up shortly and have an early night to sleep off my deflated mood! Hope your cramps ease up soon!

@PrettyTulip it's rubbish isn't it when people question you about when you're going to have kids.. as if it's that easy 😣 things are moving in the right direction for you now though, definitely keep us posted, big hugs

@Annny27 not sure if AF will be here tomorrow or Monday, I have awful lower back ache though so maybe tomorrow. We will only be a day or so apart from each other this next cycle though 😊

@Missgoldilocks did your headache go? Xxx

@Gems7 sorry to hear you're also going through it, although I'm relieved to hear it's somewhat normal (given the circumstances). Chocolate orange is my go to as well! 🙌🏻 hope you're feeling better soon! Pizza and film night for me, hoping tomorrow is a better day!
