TTC .... TWW wait part 2 !

[Donnat89]

Hi ladies ,

Made a new thread as the old one will be full soon

@Adrianoska
@Juno231
@Sammyclaire22

Thanks @juno231 I will.

I'm back in the dreaded TWW again... 3dpo at the moment. I feel hopeful as always but I also dread the test when it comes and hate the anxiety leading up to it. This is now 6 months since I lost the baby and I've had two cycles that are normal now. Managed to have sex on ovulation day and the 3 days before (so everyday for 4 days in a row) and for once it was enjoyable rather than a chore. I tried to be more relaxed and told my husband that we need to do it at some point today but he needs to come onto me rather than me saying right we need to go right now! 😂 I just hope there is something happening in my body right now 🤞🙈 I cant cope! 😂

How is everyone getting on?

CD1 today, cycle 7. Cycle 6 was only 23 days long so I'm getting a bit worried... Contemplating telling the gp it's been a year just to get the ball rolling as it's all bound to take ages.

Hi ladies sorry I've been a bit of a ghost after the test 2 months ago it really did me in tbh so took a break from TTC currently on CD 29 last cycle I came on at CD26 so my cycle is all over the place I'm waiting until tomorrow CD30 before I test although I do feel like I'm gonna come one and usually my cycles are no longer than 30 days .

Will be back TTC next cycle I just needed the break .

Hows everyone getting on ?

Xxx

Makes perfect sense @Donnat89 ! I'm just waiting for FW cycle 7. Had day 3 bloods done that came back normal and will do a day 21 test later this month too.

Not much else to report tbh! Am a bit bored of it all as it just is a waiting game at this point. Had another friend last cycle get pregnant on their very first cycle which made my eye twitch but used to it now!

Only other new thing is that I started temping last cycle and am actually really enjoying seeing the charts form! It's like the highlight of my day to see what my BBT is in the morning lol.

@Juno231 it's horrible isn't it like
You want to be happy for them but at the same time you can't help but be a tad envious!

Yea I'm ready to start trying again now but I would like to stay as chilled as possible I was thinking about Temping but I think I would
Like to see the doctor first and get a few things checked and then go from there !!

I just want AF to come now hate having all the symptoms knowing it's coming keep going to the loo to check but nothing yet but should be on my tomorrow at some point xxx

@Donnat89 ha it's mind blowing. They had no idea how TTC worked and ended up downloading an app last month in time for it to tell her AF was late. I even had to explain to them why the app would say that she was 5 weeks pregnant vs the CB digi saying 2-3 weeks!

On one hand it's pretty useful having clear pre AF symptoms like you do but on the other yours seem to always be so early that your wait for AF seems super long! For the months when you've had your BFPs, were the pre AF symptoms still there or completely different?

@Juno231 yes that's slightly annoying tbh ! So I get how you would feel

And always same AF symptoms so I don't think I would even know if I was pregnant or not going by symptoms as I seem to get them anyway I vaguely remember havi all the symptoms of AF last time I fell preg so I don't really know

Since I've stopped tracking etc last couple months I don't seem to get as many AF SYMPTOMS and no where near as early just 2/3 days before which is much nicer

Tomorrow is CD30 for me and only once have I had a cycle that long in the last year so will see what tomorrow brings xxx

Fingers crossed for you in the meantime!

@Juno231 you too hope this cycle is the one for you xxx

AF hasn't arrived yet CD30 now 😩 did a IC this morning and BFN (as expected)

Cramps are not as bad today but still getting them on and off so just waiting really for AF to arrive just want this cycle done now !

Hope everyone is ok xx

@Donnat89 I'm hoping you ovulated slightly later and hence the BFN!

Btw I still think about Adrianoska from time to time and wonder how she's doing lol.

@Juno231 no don't think so spitting has started so AF will be with me later today latest tomorrow .

Yes I did wonder how she is too xxx

That was meant to say spotting !

Lol anyway on to next cycle ! X

Woke up to AF this morning as expected 31 day cycle !!! But least she's here !

Now at least I can look forward to the next cycle

New beginnings! Best of luck for this cycle and an April/May baby xx

@Juno231 thanks Juno I've ordered some Angus cactus and CQ10 to see if it makes any difference .... who knows !
Good luck to everyone trying this cycle x

@Donnat89 yeah I'm reading it starts with the egg and have been on ubiquinol for the last three months. I also take omega 3 and evening primrose oil :)

@Juno231 it's all worth a shot won't do any harm will it ? What CD are you now ? X

@Donnat89 CD7 I think! Had a bit of an odd period where I thought it started on the 6th but then had another, slightly more proper one starting on the 10th so I assume I got bamboozled by heavy spotting for the first one. It does mean I doubt myself whenever I think of the CD days and wonder if I'll end up missing my OD because of it ha.

I've ovulated on CD16 three cycles in a row as well but the last one was on CD12 so that adds to the fear of missing it. Luckily I'm temping nowadays so that should help me a bit.

@Juno231 exciting fertile week is coming ! I'm gonna start to use my OPK again , what thermometer do you sue for temping and do you think it helps ? X

@Donnat89 I got the femometer one (not bluetooth connected though cause I'm cheap, just the one for £10 I think). Been tracking on fertility friend as it's way better than the femometer app though. Only on my second cycle of temping but I found it brilliant last cycle. It very clearly showed an ovulation day, giving me comfort that it actually happened (meant I didn't bother with OPKs past that point either)+ it showed a nice increase in temps during the TWW, again giving me comfort that I don't have a glaring progesterone problem.

But then again I am a lover of stats and I'm actually excited to see my temp every morning so I appreciate that's not for everyone!

Ok that's interesting 🧐 I am so shit at remembering to it before I get up and go to the loo etc though .

It is interesting seeing the stats and how clear yours are x

How is everyone doing? @Donnat89 are you coming up to OD now?

Just a bit of an update - I'm on cycle 8 now, CD9. Have had EWCM for three days already which is confusing but my OPKs are blank and my heart rate low so I think I've still got some days to go. Getting a bit anxious about hitting cycle 9 actually as it very much plays on my mind that I could have had a full term pregnancy in that time...

How is everyone else doing?
@Ripleysfirst are you still waiting for a fertility appointment?
@donnat89 @Hopesandrainbows @lavenderlilaclily @Boof87 any news?
@adrianoska how far along are you now, hope all is well!
@Skyla01 @mumoftwobeauts @Sammyclaire22 How are your pregnancies progressing?

Sorry if I missed anyone!
