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!

No mistaking it on the FRER! (Sorry for all the photos) NOW I will relax! ☺️
@Missgoldilocks has AF shown yet hun? 🤞🏻🤞🏻
@PrettyTulip Did AF get heavier? Xx

Awww I had no doubt @Gems7 :D that must have been a crap test this morning!

So exciting - when's your due date?

@Gems7 I'm so so pleased for you hunny.

No it didn't get heavier. But all over now and stayed mostly vvvv light and brownish.
Woke up this morning tho thinking she had come in full force cos I was so 'wet' down there, but it was just mucus, EWCM at that and all down my thighs .... WTF?!?!

@Annny27 I don't know hun.. sometime In December I think? 8th-11th March was my last period..
@PrettyTulip That's a good sign then isn't it.. I hope you are having tons of lockdown sex right now!! 😍 keeping my fingers crossed for you too, you all deserve it so much! Xx

@Gems7 yes that's you and @Laur89 now, there's hope for us other 3! 🤞

I actually haven't been DTD much as I've had excruciating back ache! Waaaaaaaah' 😫

@Gems7 I knew it would be fine! Yayyy🤗🤗❤️ no it hasn't come yet but it will theres the slightest brown cm and my temps dropped today its definitely coming been cramping... And my OH best friend just announced his wife is pregnant they basically fell as soon as they started trying and it's just made me cry tbh 😔 all he says is let's have a break from it all when that's the least thing I want to do. I'll be onto month 9 and hoping I get some of your luck xxxxx I'm so so happy for you honestly you and @Laur89 it's so nice to have bfps on this thread it does give me hope that it will happen xxx

@Missgoldilocks I'm so sorry sweetheart 😏 I 100% understand exactly how you feel, every man and his dog seem to be preggers at the moment, I was so sad a few day's ago about it all, genuinely started to think there was something wrong and it wasn't ever going to happen for me especially because I'm mid 30's now and not as young anymore, but now I'm living proof it just takes time so IT WILL HAPPEN! And you've had OH's swimmers tested which was positive, so that's an added comfort! COME ON LUCKY CYCLE 9 🍀
I was looking through my logging last night and I realized I didn't DTD as much as the previous months too (I remember you mentioning something about doing this before)
I DTD the day before ovulation, the day of and the day after. Once each day.. prior to the day before ovulation it was 4 days before that, maybe that made a difference? Maybe they were stronger because it had been 4 days and hung around longer..
I'm hanging around anyway until every one of you has your BFP too! Xx

@Gems7 yeah I feel better today, the day before af I'm really pent up emotionally. I dreamt last night I got a bfp and I told you guys on this thread lol so I woke up excited, with a high temp too but af is here so 🤷‍♀️hah. I feel okay today tho thank god
Yeah we do that nearly every month, day before ovulation day of and day after and 4 days before. I just hope I fall within 12 months even tho I've been off contraception for 12 months already lol it just all makes it feel negative! But come on bfpssss let's go! Yes please stick around xxxx

@Gems7 do you think I should try agnus castus? How much was you taking a day and what was the mg?? I want to try it but I'm scared it'll make my cycle longer xx

@Gems7 was your OH also eating walnuts??

@Laur89 no he wasn't 😂 he wouldn't!! They are still sat in the kitchen cupboard haha

@Missgoldilocks I took Agnus Castus 300mg capsules three capsules twice a day, which sounds like a lot to me.. and my OH took ginseng capsules one twice a day (not sure what the strength is) they just say power ginseng 6x2500 100mg extract..
that's all he would take, nothing else, no vitamin c or zinc or anything, he jus wouldn't do it, and I'm skeptical about wether he took the ginseng every day as he was very reluctant.
I had a long chat with a herbalist who gave them to me with some mixed vitamins which I only took for a few days as they were making my wee neon yellow and it made me anxious..
I really don't know if the tablets are the reason for the BFP or just a coincidence that I had them this month.. I literally only got the Agnus castus because I had 4 days of spotting last cycle and a friend recommended I try them..
it's so difficult to know what to take and what not to isn't it 😖 xx

@Laur89 can I ask hun when you got your BFP were you nervous all the time? I am constantly checking the tissue every time I've been to the toilet for blood, I'm so anxious it's not going to stick, my boobs were so sore yesterday and this morning but now it's eased and they are fine. 😫
I'm getting odd twinges here and there but I'm terrified tomorrow I'm not going to be pregnant anymore. Thoughts are constantly running through my mind that my progesterone will have dropped now I'm not taking AC and that the pregnancy won't hold, I'm trying to relax and not stress but I'm so anxious right this second I can't sit still 😞

Hey @Gems7, yeah I was nervous! I was the same and kept checking the tissue, I had mild cramps for a bit after the BFP, then after that I started just being sick all the time and not being able to eat much! My boobs weren't really that sore this time around, I thought maybe it was cos I breasted my son for so long there was no feeling left in them 🤣🤣 but yeah, I was nervous and still am - I can't wait to get to the scan and make sure all is ok. You'll be fine, it's just your mind playing tricks on you! Try to relax as much as possible ☺️☺️

@Laur89 Thankyou hun, honestly the worrying just never stops does it! You worry when you don't get a BFP then worry constantly when you do 🤦🏻‍♀️ xx

The worrying never stops does it @Gems7 💗

Feeling about symptoms yet?
Yes please both stick around @laur89 and @gems7 :D

Cd8 for me and not tracking this cycle so think about 9 days away from ovulation

@Annny27 Not really.. boobs are ever so slightly tender at times but only feel in when I'm bounding up or down the stairs. 😄
Im getting twinges and mild cramps on and off too. Ovulation not far away for you now.. 🤞🏻 don't think I'll let OH near me for ages now 😆 xx

@Annny27 I'm feeling alright thank you, still sick most days and tired, sore boobs and fancy all the sweet treats that I can get my hands on 🤣 how's everyone else? ☺️

Sore boobs is a common theme then haha @Gems7 @laur89. Have you guys told people yet?

We are not trying but not preventing this month! No opks or temping and just dtd when we want which will be a lot less than normal months but that's okay.

How are my ttc buddies getting on @PrettyTulip @Missgoldilocks

@Annny27 morning love.
We're doing the same, not actively trying at the moment but not exactly preventing it either.

My back ache is just starting to go away so that's a good sign (no idea what I done to myself there!) but I've still got so much CM? It's ridiculous I honestly feel like I've constantly (sorry TMI) wet myself as it goes down the inner thighs? Anyone ever heard of this before? 🥺?

Xx

@PrettyTulip sorry I haven't heard of it 🤔

@anny27 I'm gonna use opks and temp still but I think this month I'm not going to be like "we have to have sex" I'm gonna make sure we dtd around the correct time but I'm not gonna go mad with it xx

@Annny27 I've told my manager, earlier than I wanted to really but I had to because I work in hospital and couldn't be on the ward. Told our parents too but that's it, it's so early. I still feel like it's not real, it's so weird, I feel like it's not happening to me and it's happening to somebody else. I ordered pregnancy tests from amazon today just to keep checking it's true 🤷🏻‍♀️

Really routing for you girls this month, fingers crossed the relaxed approach does the trick! ❤️ xxx

evening:)

@Gems7 that's good your manager knows so hopefully you are safer now!

@PrettyTulip I don't usually have that much but get dtd!:D

@Missgoldilocks yeah it gets too stress otherwise when I am worrying over the absolute best time to dtd

No ideas what's going on with me.
CM seems to have mostly stopped leaking out of me (😂) but I've got some faint pink tinged CM this evening? Whaaaat? I think I need to be sent to the scrap yard and built again x

@PrettyTulip I think you should try some herbal remedies for irregular cycles. Dong quai apparently really helps with it I'm using it to help my uterus in general but it's great for irregular cycles x
You might as well try during this time? Xx

Girls I've started spotting like before a period. I think it's the start of a miscarriage. I'm 5+1 today 😞 heartbroken xx
