Hi girls,
Im currently in the tww and wondering if anyone is too and wants to share their journey. Im currently 8DPO and am doing my best to NOT poas though its so hard! Im literally an addict...but so far so good. Im determined this time to not test before 12DPO!
Bit about me: im 37, Have been ttc for just over a year now and in that time sadly had a MMC x 2 and more recently an ectopic requiring tube removal. So afraid that I wont be able to concieve on the side of my existing tube but ya gota have hope, right?! Hoping for a rainbow baby on this our fourth attempt.

Symptoms so far:
-Bigger boobs but not sore (yet)

  • loads of rumblings going on low down
  • sleepy after food
  • weight loss ( though im on the large side so no harm there!)
  • odd lower back pain
  • VERY emotional (poor hubbie!)

Would love to chat to ladies in a similar boat to symptom share and have a laugh with in this horrible tww fiasco! Fingers crossed for baby dust for all hoping for their BFP ✨🤰🤗❤

Mich2020 · 12/09/2020 12:07

@Jaysdream7 didn't even notice until you said 😂😂

mouldygrapes · 12/09/2020 12:28

@Mich2020 sorry hon, I didn’t take a pic as it was crap compared to the FRER. There was a line on the IC but it was faint

ER20 · 12/09/2020 14:22

Hi, hope you don’t mind me joining.

Got married in July and first cycle TTC.

Tested just now with a IC, silly I know as not FMU but having potential symptoms. Done a few of these tests and clearly been BFN but this one looks different. Any thoughts? Am I imagining it?

Particularly got backache, I’ve had a hot water bottle on it all day, nauseous, vivid dreams.

Last week had what could be an implantation bleed, dark brown only there on wiping a couple of times then gone.

I have some CB tests that I can try tomorrow/Monday if AF hasn’t arrived.

Hi all, I’m 10 dpo and really really dizzy. Could this be a symptom or is it way too early?

ChasingRainbow · 12/09/2020 16:48

@mouldygrapes..... WOW! Huge congratulations lady! So delighted for you!! Moma to be ✨🤰👣💞 Wishing you and all who got their BFP a very happy & healthy 8/9 months. This really is a very fruitful & productive thread, lol!!!

Best of luck @Mich2020, @ER20, @Jaysdream7 & @Bizawit. This lucky thread 'aint done yet girls! ✨🤞🤞

On a side note, for anyone else whose time was not now, I intend on starting another thread for the Sept/Oct TWW. Seen as this one was so lucky! I intend on trying out this temp charting business. Have got myself a basal thermometer. Anyone recommend a good chart? And from when do you start charting?

Baby dust to all x x x ✨🦋

Thank you so much everyone! Not thinking of it as mum to be just yet - I don’t think I’ll relax til I’ve had a scan.

@ChasingRainbow I found the fertility friend app better than femometer, and easier to read.
I think ideally you start from CD1 or at least a good few days before expected ov so you can catch the rise.
It’s useful - I assumed I ovulated on day 14 but temping showed it was day 11 this cycle.
I’ve attached my chart if it’s helpful for anyone

ChasingRainbow · 12/09/2020 20:25

Thanks for this @mouldygrapes. Your chart is very clear! I will download the app now and give it a whirl.
I totally understand your worry until you have your scan. But right now, you are pregnant. And isnt that wonderful.
Wishing you the very best x

Thank you @ChasingRainbow. Wishing you and all the other ladies all the luck and baby dust. Will be looking out to see how you all get on xx

Hello.

Late to the party.

I'm 11dpo and think I got a faint line on a FRER this morning. Tested again this evening and it was barely there. Now wish I'd waited until the morning.

I had a chemical in March/April so really hoping that doesn't happen again.

Imog · 12/09/2020 21:10

Hi @ChasingRainbow yes charting is a great idea to start!

I've just gone to the toilet and got brown spotting / discharge 😔 so I think af is on her way 2 days late. I really thought I was pregnant this time round. More than likely be joining the next thread! Any more news @Mich2020

@bitheby sorry to hear about your chemical hope you get your baby v soon lovely xx

ChasingRainbow · 12/09/2020 21:27

Welcome @bitheby
Sorry to read about your chemical.
Are you planning on testing tomorrow morn? Best of luck ✨🤞

@Imog how many dpo are you? Hopefully AF stays away. Been there this last cycle, honestly never felt so sure I was pregnant but no. Still, that may not be you at all my love!! 🤞

Hoping to see more lovely lines tomorrow morn girls. Best of luck to anyone testing xx ❤🦋

bitheby · 12/09/2020 21:29

Thanks everyone.

Yes. Definitely testing tomorrow. I've ordered more FRERs so I can test every day until after my period is due.

Just hope to see a progression.

Last time I was late by a week before I got a negative test and then a few days later started bleeding.

I just want to know. Am so impatient!

ChasingRainbow · 13/09/2020 12:33

Any update @bitheby? Did you test this morning? X

OP posts:
Mich2020 · 13/09/2020 12:39

Sorry only just seen this @Imog another silly faint line again this morning. It can't be good news can it.x

bitheby · 13/09/2020 12:39

Yeah. It's fainter than it was yesterday morning. If I hadn't had a line yesterday I would have said it was negative. So either it's another chemical or it's still too early.

Last time I didn't get a line until 13dpo and I'm only 12dpo today so try again tomorrow and see.

It's incredibly frustrating and I don't know what to think.

I'm feeling nauseous so I'm hoping that's a good sign.

Mich2020 · 14/09/2020 19:48

Another squinter today.. 😐 bit darker than previous ICs no AF...

@Bellaashley how're you doing lovely?xx

ChasingRainbow · 15/09/2020 09:42

@Mich2020 I cant see much, except in the third photo where looks to be something there. From my own experience, those ICs are totally unreliable for early pregnancy. For reference, when my HCG level was over 6000, I got a line but was very very faint.
Could you check with a frer maybe?
Still great no AF yet lovely!
Hoping this is positive for you xx 🤞✨🦋❤

AF this morning, bang on time. As expected.

I assume it was a chemical as definitely had a line at 11dpo but it was faint and never progressed.

ChasingRainbow · 15/09/2020 10:45

@bitheby Im so sorry to hear this. This is exactly what happened to me too this cycle. Be kind to yourself today and as others on here have said - better days are coming. Wishing you every success whenever you decide you are ready to try again. Hugs x ❤

@ChasingRainbow not too bad thank you! How're you doing lovely?

Spoke to the GP today who's given me higher dose Folic acid because of my BMI. She worked out my dates and according to her I'm two days further along than I thought. Currently 5w+4 and new EDD is 14th May!

Just waiting for my booking in app. Been feeling very tired, with lots of headaches and nausea but on the whole doing just fine!

Hope everyone is well ♥️

AKC88 · 15/09/2020 13:06

Hi everyone,

Can I join please Smile

Currently 1 DPO so just going into the TWW.

Congrats to all the September positives so far.

AF is due 28th I think as I've had long cycles since having mirena removed in July. First one didn't O until CD 29 and this time CD 25.

Hope you are all doing well
