Looks like you've covered yourself well! I'm 9DPO and AF due in 5 days so just a few days before you.

Forest27 · 05/11/2020 13:05

I’m 4DPO! Due AF anytime from 16th - 20th as my cycles have started varying in length!

2nd cycle trying after my molar pregnancy this year! I had to wait a longgggg six months before I was allowed to try, but here I am finally!!!

I’ve been so in tune with my body these past 6/7 months that every little twinge has me like 👀 so I’m symptom spotting like crazy!

When are you testing?

@lastbany hi lovely - looks like we are TWW buddies! I also got my positive clear blue OPK on 30th October. Would love to follow this journey with you and see how we get on!

Fingers crossed for us 👀☺️ xx

lastbany · 05/11/2020 17:22

@weretryingforbaby hi there! Is it your first or do you have kiddies? It will be my 4th (you would think I would be a pro lol) but I'm not! Had my first two very young in teens then early 20s since met new ortner and we have a gorgeous 11 month old! Have been trying since she was 6 month but not properly ramped it up last 2 months but never got a positive opk so gave them a rest and decided to just dtd as much as possible over the time we think I'm fertile! Would have started trying sooner but I needed go ahead aftwr c section and. My doctor misinformed me when consultant rang she said why aren't we trying?!! Anyway I've been lucky and very fertile before and feel worried and stresses this time as we want to have baby ASAP due to some personal reasons ( don't we all) that involve work etc I'm a a and e nurse I go back just after Xmas and can't cut my hours till have had second basically! 😳😳 what about you? Any signs

It’s when the egg loses the Mothers DNA and it implants and grows like crazy fast and HCG levels sky rocket so you have to have it removed as no baby develops - at least not with a complete molar pregnancy like me! Then you have check ups for 6 months or longer to monitor your HCG levels as it can start to grow back. Sometimes they don’t drop on their own and you need chemo, but luckily mine dropped to 0 after 4 weeks! It’s sooooo rare and I hadn’t heard of it before I had one. I was pretty much bed ridden from the pain and the awful sickness from the hormones.

I had to wait 6 months from when my levels reached zero to start trying for a baby. It’s been so hard waiting!! But I’m here now Grin

Not going to lie but I have tested 😂 I have a load of cheapies so I can’t help it! Really I need to wait until the end of next week 🙈

lastbany · 05/11/2020 18:59

@Forest27 ahh wow no never heard!
Sounds terrible!
Well it's too teptomg isn't it! I've spent a fortune on tests and opks though! So deceit not doing it anymore! I'm lucky my 11 mo keeps me busy and my mind off it 90% of the time!!
I think I've been so lucky to fall so easily before that I'm like what's wrong?! What's happening?! Why aren't I pregnant!?? Really hoping bf or this time as I really want to cut my hours but need to wait till had maternity as part time mat pay is nothing!!! But can't bear to leave baby for so many hours! (That's not only resin we having another lol)

I'm 5dpo 😊

littleeggcup · 05/11/2020 19:33

I'm 5dpo too!

xoJellyBean · 05/11/2020 19:58

@littleeggcup yay! What's your story?😊

littleeggcup · 05/11/2020 20:13

I unfortunately had an ectopic- found out I was pregnant on 4/09 and found out a week later it was ectopic :( emergency surgery the very next day as was rupturing. Had 200ml of blood around the tube.

So I am down to my left tube now and both ovaries!

We are going to try for 6 months and if no luck we're going to privately see what state my left tube is in as I have endometriosis too!

So, not very straightforward ttc for me!

But dtd all the bloody time; I had a very strong opk on 30/10, so I'm guessing I'm 5dpo now!

Symptom spotting like crazy as I'm loopy. Will test on Monday but most likely will be testing everyday 😂

lastbany · 05/11/2020 20:49

@littleeggcup hi there! Sorry about th ectopic how scary!!
I am hoping to hold on till Monday! But like you prob won't happen! Have tested today like a moron! Not even with a early test lol obv BFN I am symptom spotting also haha

OP posts:
littleeggcup · 05/11/2020 21:01

Yes I have IC and I can't help myself!! I had spotting before my BFP but unsure if that was implantation or because of ectopic... not sure! I had no idea it was ectopic as tests were darkening great and had normal pg symptoms!

lastbany · 05/11/2020 21:14

@littleeggcup was it just spin how they caught it?

OP posts:
Toastedsesame · 05/11/2020 21:18

@Forest27 So sorry to hear about your molar pregnancy, sounds really hard, and waiting 6 months must have been a bit of a blow too. Is it your first month back ttc?

@littleeggcup Just realised we are chatting on another thread but just wanted to say sorry to hear about your ectopic - really frightens me when I read about those, scary stuff. Do you know if it increases chances of it happening again, or is it just a random occurance?

littleeggcup · 05/11/2020 21:22

I was on the mini pill, and they think when I came off it I could have still had it in my system... apparently the mini pill can cause ectopic. Other than that; endo can also cause ectopic.

As I hadn't had a period from coming off minipill I was due to have a scan that Friday to try and date me. They saw then that the sac was in my tube and not my uterus. I was devastated. Especially as my partner was waiting out in the car :(

I am high risk for another ectopic yes. So it's quite scary. And obviously it will take longer or could take longer to conceive.

We are doing 6 months; then we will go private for tests. Xxx

Toastedsesame · 05/11/2020 21:59

@littleeggcup Ah I didn't know that about endo. Sounds really tough, the whole situation with covid just makes things so horrible for dealing with anything pregnancy related let alone when receiving bad news. I really hope you get a sticky bean in the right place this time. Good luck Flowers

littleeggcup · 05/11/2020 22:02

@Toastedsesame thank you DaffodilStarfingers are crossed! I don't know why I just tested?! Haha addict

Forest27 · 05/11/2020 22:16

@Toastedsesame yes it was so hard, made harder by my friend falling pregnant too! We weren’t even trying when I got pregnant, so I thought I’d catch quickly when we could try.

It’s my second month trying now. The first I just used my app to track ovulation so we probably just missed it as we only DTD a few times around then, so this time it’s been every other day from CD9 and I got a positive OPK on Sunday (CD12). Fingers crossed it works as I can’t be doing this every month 😂

Toastedsesame · 05/11/2020 22:36

@Forest27 I remember being knackered from baby making the first time round, we DTD a lot around ovulation, sometimes more than once a day and although it worked first time - we were done for weeks after that 😂 this time were just being casual with it.

lastbany · 06/11/2020 07:54

Anyone have any signs or symptoms?! I know we are looking for sown tht ing to happen!
But yesterday I felt sickly and couldnt stop peeing! This morning I feel dreadfully sick!but hungry at the same time!
With my last pregnancy my sickness was awful! I lost nearly two stone in the first 20 weeks and only put on 10lb in total! She was a tiny 5-10lb baby though!
God I really hope these are symptoms although not looking forward to sickness over Xmas but it's deffo worth it!
