1dpo... anybody fancy jumping on this rollercoaster with me?

[emiliet123]

Afternoon ladies! Here we are, once again, biting our nails down to the quick during the TWW! 😂

We’re TTC after losing our first baby at 24 weeks in January 💔 but trying to stay positive, even though we’re now on cycle 5. Lots of frustrations around this as everybody else appears to be popping them out easily!!

I am trying to distract myself through dieting and healthy eating, theory being that if I’m focused on not eating crap, and googling my next workout, I’m not wasting tests and symptom spotting... 😂

Really really hoping to have a successful month this month and test early on 21st, because how lovely would it be to tell my wonderful husband I’m pregnant on Father’s Day? Well aware AF isn’t due until 24th, but a girl can dream, right?

Anyway, feel free to share your crazy with me here, or give me hope with some success stories! Also, I am very much a fan of “line eyes” threads, so hit me up with your squinters!! 🧐

Happy waiting, girls! 🥰

Hey! Really sorry about your loss

I'm due to test on the 24th as well! I'm on this thread for people due to test the same week if you fancied popping along - everyone is lovely!

I actually didn't realise that fathers day was next week! Would be amazing to get a BFP for that, fingers crossed

Hello @helllobambinos! Thanks 🥰 oooh I will pop by and take a look but it looks so busy already haha I might get lost in there! 🙈

My husband went above and beyond for my Mother’s Day, he didn’t want me to feel like less of a mum because I didn’t have my baby, so I would love to celebrate him in a big way too!

Just thought I’d add to my original post as well... somebody must be having a laugh as my fertility crystals bracelet (shhhh I’ll try anything) has just arrived on day one of the TWW!

Fate or just poking fun?! 😖

I'm 1dpo too I guess. Had a static smiley on my opk last night but dtd the day before and today as well. Hopefully we get the good news we've been hoping to hear

I’m so sorry for your loss, that is heartbreaking.

I’m 1 day behind you with AF due 25th. I did think about what a great treat it would be for Father’s Day but realistically I won’t know then.

I was on a healthy eating buzz too, until today!

Hey @mansah2 😊 fingers crossed for you! How long have you been TTC for? It’s such a rollercoaster!

Thank you @Slippingcareer 💖 I always feel like I am trying to aim for those “milestones” whether it’s a birthday or Father’s Day or an anniversary - I’m a drama Queen so I liiiiive for that sort of announcement 😂 how are you feeling? What chucked you off the wagon?! 😖

@emiliet123 I’m feeling desperately impatient! This is cycle 8 of TTC number 2, our son was conceived on cycle 2 so this is all new to me. Plus lockdown would have been the perfect scenario for me to be pregnant as I was housebound during my last pregnancy anyway.

My husband bought the wrong bread, so I figured I might as well eat some anyway rather than it going to the bin. Bread turned into chocolate which turned into ice cream! In helping our TTC journey I’ve lost 12lb in the last 8 weeks, my husband has lost 14lb. Literally trying anything that could help.

1 DPO for me too. Trying for my second DC, long long awaited. Sadly had a MC last year.
We have some issues with TTC (husband has ED), so chances are slim but fingers crossed this is our month.
Would love it for father’s day!

Also trying to lose weight and stay healthy. Started keto now!

@Slippingcareer the longer it takes, the more stressed out you feel it seems! And you want to whack those people who say “it’ll happen when you stop trying” around the chops 😂 how old is #1 now? I was bad with sickness last time too - I’ve never experienced anything like it, I felt like someone had just switched the light off on me, I had absolutely no feelings other than to get through each day. Was yours sickness or something else?
Massive well done on your weight loss! Fingers crossed it helps. Bread is a killer - you should have just banged it in the freezer!

@adriannap I’m sorry about your MC ☹️ It must have been so hard to go through that, and now the long wait! I’m on that path too, so everything crossed for the both of us this month!

Heyyyy this thread could motivate us all to keep at our healthy lifestyles! My friends have organised a socially distanced parkrun on Saturday AM and I am feeling ULTRA slow at the mo - I’ll let you guys know how I get on!

@emiliet123 I am so sorry for your loss 😢 I can only imagine what you've been through. Sending you lots of positivity and baby dust. Here's hoping this is your/everyone's month.

I'm due AF 21st (had it in my head it was the 24th for the last few days) and I'm symptom spotting but I've had zero symptoms really 🤷🏼‍♀️

Good luck to you all ❤️ here's hoping for some BFPs!!

@emiliet123 for 8 months now with 3 chemicals. I've been so devastated and I really hope and pray that this is the month for all of us. Looking forward to seeing posts of bFP on this thread. Baby dust to you all.

Thanks @MyGossip and @mansah2 🥰

Argh symptom spotting is the worst - do you wish you’d not realised it would be the 21st and been able to not stress out next weekend? Will you be testing early or avoiding it?

Oh gosh it must be so hard to go through that three times so close together - it’s unbelievable how fraught those first few weeks are 😖 hope you’re doing okay - fingers crossed this is the month!! 💖

Room for one more? 🙋🏻‍♀️
I'm approx 2 dpo, so just hanging around now. Ttc #1 since October. I had 2 very early losses under 5 weeks at the start of the year. It's so nerve-wracking now. I'm to those of you who have had miscarriages. It's a terrible thing. Lots of baby dust to all 💐

Always room for one more! Awww doll you must be feeling so strung out from it all! I hope we can distract you from it!

I did a socially distanced 5km run today with some friends - so I’ve been knackered all day, too tired to get stressed that’s for sure!! Xx

Ah thank you @emiliet123 💐
I appreciate that it's nothing like what you've been through 💐 every cycle now I want to be pregnant, but equally I'm afraid to get a bfp as I would now just expect it not to last.
Keeping busy is definitely key to getting through it 🙂Luckily we have a garden that seems to need weeding every week now!

Thank you @emiliet123 @CurbsideProphet !

When do y'all intend testing?

@CurbsideProphet I can understand that. I would like a BFP, then to sleep for 9 months and wake up with my baby all done and dusted. I don’t think I’ll ever enjoy a scan again, and the whole time I know I’m gonna feel like I’m waiting for the axe to drop - But equally I want a BFP so badly!!!

@mansah2 my cycles are all over the place, I’ve had a 32-day, 28-day and a 26-day cycle recently so god knows! I’m on day 21 today and AF is likely due on 24th but I want to test Sunday morning so hopefully I have some good news on Father’s Day. How about you? Xx

@mansah2 I won't test unless AF is looking late. My cycles are short anyway - 25 days usually - so from day 27.

@emiliet123 oh I have the same feeling - bfp then straight to holding my baby!

@emiliet123 I've still not tested yet and I don't think I've got any symptoms? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Other than feeling like I've got a UTI when I need to pee. Definitely going to avoid testing until Sunday though as I always know when I am due AF as I get headaches and just generally feel like crap the day before...

How's everyone else feeling?

@MyGossip how many dpo are you again? I'm only 6dpo and I almost wanna test already, but I know it would be pointless! Last month I bought a load of IC tests so at least this month I won't be splashing out a fortune on FRERs!

I'm still quite calm at the moment but I don't know how long it will last. My anxiety about everything is through the ROOF though - no idea why! I've managed to lose 2lbs this week though, so hopefully be able to keep this up, and distracting myself.

@emiliet123 10DPO so nearly there! I've been keeping busy to try and take my mind of things so I don't stress. Me too! I got a couple of CB tests last month so I'm stocked up too. And well done on the 2lb loss! I've cut out caffeine for the last month, trying little things to help but could murder a proper latte right now 🙈

So sorry for you loss fingers crossed for you.
I'm 4 DPO on my first cycle of actually trying. Been off the mini pill for the most part since late February had an early loss a couple of months ago then two reliable cycles but not much DTD .
Really hopeful for this cycle. We DTD 4 times in the fertile window. My boobs are sore and heavy and I had some light cramping in the morning.

@MyGossip Ooooh, well done for almost ticking off another TWW! I really really hope it's your last one. Is this your first time TTC or have you already got kids to keep you occupied?

OMG I couldn't cut out caffeine. When I was last pregnant I really struggled, and I got so miserable at constantly sipping fruit teas that I decided to allow myself one large latte from Caffe Nero each week. On a Friday. So it felt special, and like a reward for cutting out my usual daily brews. And decaf tea is NOT the same! It's weak AF.
