Irrational 2/3DPO 2ww'er welcome!!

[charlesthekudu]

If you're addicted to POAS and symptom spotting then join the club!

I'm currently 2DPO after a terrible flu virus caused late ovulation. I'm
Not holding out too much hope as ovulation was about a week late so my luteal phase may prove too short or maybe my LH surge was detected on OPK but I'm too sick this month to actually ovulate. Not much sex this month either. However I'm a crazy person in the 2ww so looking for like minded POAS addicts to join the ride!!

@charlesthekudu I'm sorry to hear that, but at least I think you have a good plan ahead. Take care and hope we meet again soon on the pregnancy boards xx

@charlesthekudu I wish you loads of luck and happiness! Fingers crossed for next month xxxxx

I'm officially out this month now! Congratulations to all the BFPs ladies 😁 and I will see some of you crazy poas bunch next month no doubt! 🙌🏻

Thanks for the well wishes!! I'm comfortable with what happened this month and have loved seeing success stories, any more to come?!

But I will be spending this cycle being more mindful and less obsessive and I think less time on here will help :))

See you all on pregnancy boards soon!!

I don't know what's happening! I'm 14dpo today and I have had the tiniest bit of spotting and cramps since yest, more brown cm no red at all, my boobs are so so sore still :( I didn't take a test this morn as I was sure AF Was coming but nothing yet! I don't normally spot before but isn't 13dpo too late to hope this is implantation?!!?

Oh Annie it sounds promising to me!! Have you got a FRER?!?

@charlesthekudu yeah I didn't do it this morning as really though AF was going to come full force but all day and just the tiniest bit of brown cm... I am having backache and slight cramps though... it could be a weird period as I haven't had one since my MC at end of Oct, and only ovulated again for the first time this month, I did do a test Sunday afternoon which would be 11/12 dpo, I would of thought if I was pregnant it would of showed by then xx

It was AF.... I'm actually really happy about this! After no periods since October MC I think it's exactly what my body needs and I'm excited to now know where I am in my cycle and try again! Xxx

Hi everyone

I'm new to this, but since going through a recent miscarriage I've found myself checking these forums about 10 times a day for some advice or reassurance so I thought I would post my own experience .

Me and DH found out we were PG just before Christmas 19. We got lucky the first time and were beyond excited. I had some symptoms (sore breasts etc) but generally felt fine. However, the symptoms suddenly stopped one day, practically overnight around 6 weeks. I tried not to think too much into it and DH and midwife both tried to reassure me that this was normal but it just didn't feel right.

My anxiety was through the roof and I just wanted to know everything was ok so we booked a private scan on 7 weeks 3 days. It was at this scan I saw a big empty sac with no baby, they asked me to come back in 2 weeks for another scan but I rang the EPU and was booked in the next day for an internal scan. This also confirmed a blighted ovum. I was given leaflets about the different ways to miscarry and went home to decide. 1 week later and still no signs of me miscarrying naturally I went for the medical management. Another scan before i was given the medication showed the sac was actually still growing so my body had no idea the pregnancy wasn't viable.

The worst week of my life followed and I passed the gestational sac. Since then I have stopped bleeding and my pregnancy test is nearly negative (faint second line) I am desperate to TTC and I feel the only way I can move on is knowing I am pregnant with a healthy baby.

DH is happy to try again and we have started but I have a few worries. What are the chances of a second blighted ovum? I don't think I could handle another miscarriage. I haven't had AF yet but I have read a few posts that you don't necessarily need to wait for this before you TTC again? I'm only 27 with no medical issues so I'm hoping next time I will have my rainbow baby.

I guess I'm just looking to hear from ladies with similar experiences and how you managed to move on, and if you have had successful pregnancies since? These forums are extremely helpful and I think I have learnt more doing my own research on here than from speaking to the hospital, so thankyou in advance!

@TTCfirstbaby I'm really sorry to hear about your experience. It's so hard when absolute joy can turn to such grief in a short space of time. I've never had a MC but have had a few CP (nothing alike in terms of what you went through) but it all serves as a reminder that the TTC part is just one of many hurdles to get over. I'm pretty sure that one MC doesn't automatically mean it will happen again! You fell pregnant without any problems first time, so fingers crossed it happens again for you quickly and you have a healthy pregnancy xx

So sorry to hear that @TTCfirstbaby maybe (you are more than welcome here!!) start a thread for women who've experienced blighted ovum's? I think it will attract more attention

AnxiousAnnie, the limbo is over and glad to hear that this AF means you're more settled in your monthly cycles!

Best of luck everyone, enjoy the brief respite and headspace that AF invariably brings and may everyone have a peaceful and lucky month! Here's to November babies :))

Hey all!! I'm back to 1DPO as off tomorrow! Last cycle was really strange as I ovulated CD12 when it's normally CD15 when I came on AF at 9DPO it really threw me......... but at least it saved me some tests!! Xx

@AliSxo hey! At least you didn't have the long wait!! Fingers crossed for you!!!! I'm CD12 so got the joys of trying to predict OV Am using clear blue digital this month x

@AnxiousAnnie86 have you had a flashing smiley yet with the CB? Agreed, I was really annoyed when AF arrived but actually it took the sting out of testing with bfns!! Hopefully we get our bfps this month! Xx

@AliSxo and you get to try again quicker!! No I haven't yet I'm on cd11 I got it wrong, I'm worried it's going to be a long wait, this month was first period in 3 months I can't face another three month wait waiting to ovulate again, in really hoping it will be regular, have you used the digital? My app says I'm due ovulation in 7 days x

@AnxiousAnnie86 yes I had 3 days of flashing smiley before the static... use OPKS alongside them, fingers crossed for us all this month xx

Okay thanks! I will be panicked until I at least get a flashing!!

Do you do anything different in two week wait? I hear eating pineapple etc is good I tried that last month.. x
