Anyone else in the dreaded tww?
I'm currently 2DPO. Would be nice to chat to others in the same waiting game to keep us sane!

@S345 he just makes me laugh but also I have to prepare myself for some of the things he says 😂

I'm gutted but I don't think I'll get as far as getting any negativity. I've woken up today with bleeding and cramps so I'll test in the morning (expecting a negative) then me and hubby will need to have a conversation about whether we can do it all again 😞

Oh goodness, yeah I forgot about all the travel risks and restrictions before COVID even came on the scene.
Our honeymoon will be to Butlin's so I doubt we'll have any issues there 🤣

How's your TWW going?

S345 · 12/12/2020 16:43

@namechangedformyBFP haha yes!

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that lovely, really hoping it's nothing for you to worry about but sending hugs eitherway! Keep us updated if you feel up to it. How are you feeling now?

Covid just makes you forget abroad holidays even exist doesn't it 😂😂 butlins will be fun anyway, doesn't matter where you are you'll still have a great time.

It's actually going ok....I could be 6 or 8 dpo not really sure as didn't use opk this month! I've got some creamy cm today but absolutely not thinking too much into it, I probably have this normally every month and just don't pay any attention 🤣

mommyofone2019 · 13/12/2020 20:35

Anyone else just completely lost with it all this month! Such a busy month what with the run up to Christmas. And having to keep on track of ovulation when you're out and about everywhere 😩
I had 2 dark OPK's last weekend, but wasn't positive. I only tested twice all weekend because of being so busy. And glow had already predicted ovulation as being Monday (7th December). So I've just gone with ovulation as being Monday 🤷🏻‍♀️ so today is possibly 6DPO? But who knows!
I do know I have no chance this month though. And really haven't had the urge to test or anything yet.

How are you ladies xx

@S345 exactly as I suspected so I've cancelled the midwife referral today.

Now me and hubby are having conversations about whether to try again or not. As much as my head can rationally say it should get easier each time, it actually gets harder and I'm not sure how many more times I can go through it to be honest.

How's your TWW going? What day DPO are you?

S345 · 14/12/2020 12:05

@namechangedformyBFP I'm so sorry to hear this, I have been thinking about you over the weekend. Hope you are being kind to yourself 🤗 I guess only you and your hubby can make that decision, knowing what's right for both of you. I hope you can continue your journey but also totally understand if you choose not to, there are so many emotions attached aren't there and it just feels like you're on one very, at times erratic rollercoaster 🤪 do you feel in a position where you could reset this month and treat next month as a fresh start?

Premom says 10dpo and Fermometer says 8dpo - I'm REALLY trying not to symptom spot but I'm finding it hard 😂 I feel quite nauseous but not like icky sick just more the feeling, bit like motion sickness although I'm probably just hungry 😂

@mommyofone2019 how are you finding your TWW? Apart from the madness of Christmas!!

namechangedformyBFP · 14/12/2020 12:16

@S345 thank you. It's been a bit of a strange weekend of accepting it, emotional breakdowns and blaming myself but I think that's all a bit normal.

I think we need to have a serious conversation because if we didn't already have kids I think it would be different, but as we already have 2 we just need to decide if regret would be more harmful than any more miscarriages I guess.

I have everything crossed for you and I'll be staying on the thread to find out same as for @mommyofone2019 outcome! I'm still over cheering everyone on 😊

mommyofone2019 · 14/12/2020 21:30

@namechangedformyBFP so sorry to hear 🥺 hope you're ok? Sending you lots of 🤗 xxxx

mommyofone2019 · 14/12/2020 21:40

@S345 the tww has gone so fast!! Mainly because of the Christmas madness but also because I don't think anything will come of this month so I haven't really thought about it!
Possibly 7DPO day?! Not really felt any different or had any symptoms. Yesterday and this morning I felt a bit crampy and then this afternoon/evening I felt like I had a couple of sharp like stabbing pains in my lower left side.

How are you finding it? When are you planning on testing?

OP posts:
S345 · 15/12/2020 09:28

@mommyofone2019 yes the Christmas build up deffo helps you not to overthink every twinge I've found 😂😂

Same as you really, lots going on so I haven't really thought about it although I did have a dream last night that I found out I was pregnant 🙈 AF is due Sunday/Monday so I will wait until at least then, if by some kind of miracle I am pregnant I would want to keep it a secret and surprise my fiancé on Christmas morning so no point in me testing early as I think I would struggle to keep it a secret if it was positive 😂 when will you test?

@mummydoingamasters hope you're doing ok today xx

namechangedformyBFP · 15/12/2020 14:27

@S345 @mommyofone2019
Thank you for your messages. I'm doing ok, just trying to get prepared for Christmas!

How is the wait going before you guys POAS?

S345 · 15/12/2020 21:49

@namechangedformyBFP ahh I think Christmas is a good distraction for everyone! I finished all my wrapping on the weekend which was lovely and deffo got me I the festive mood - do you have much more to do to get ready?

Ummm I feel like I've been slightly obsessive today 😂😂 I ordered some frers which will come tomorrow but I won't use them until at least Monday 🤞🏻 I wfh and choosing to self isolate as we're going to my nans for Christmas so I feel like your mind just wanders when there's not much to occupy it 🤣

mommyofone2019 · 15/12/2020 21:50

@S345 AF is due to same day as you - Monday. Not sure when I'll test, if at all. Really not getting the urge to poas this month, as just don't think there's any point! Today I'm 8DPO and still no symptoms to note. I think I'll just hang on until AF is due and see if she arrives.

OP posts:
S345 · 15/12/2020 21:59

@mommyofone2019 I think that's a really good mindset just wait for AF - I think if it doesn't arrive on Monday I may test then but will deffo wait until Monday. Still wonder if we dtd enough this month but then I keep seeing people on threads saying when they got their bfp they only dtd once 🤷🏼‍♀️ so try not to think about that too much! Also trying not to read other threads, I think when i see other people get bfp it makes me wanna test 😂😂 xx

mommyofone2019 · 16/12/2020 07:38

@S345 I keep thinking the same about dtd too. I don't think we did it enough either. We started well, then again because of the Christmas madness it all kind of went to pot!! 🤷🏻‍♀️
9DPO today and I've not tested yet, I'd have normally tested a couple of times by now 😂😂

OP posts:
mommyofone2019 · 16/12/2020 09:42

Ok ladies. So was having a little tidy in the bathroom and was a strip test in the cupboard so I thought, I'll just do it because 🤷🏻‍♀️

Do you think there's a very faint second line??

@mommyofone2019 eeeeeeek amazing news, congratulations 🥰🥰🥰

mommyofone2019 · 16/12/2020 21:15

@S345 thank you so much! ❤️ don't think it has sunk in yet. I've ordered some more frers off amazon 😂 when are you testing? Xx

OP posts:
S345 · 16/12/2020 21:18

It was your chilled out vibes ✨✨ that’s a really good line for 9dpo too!! I think I’m gonna wait for AF due Sunday/Monday if she hasn’t come by Tuesday then I will test I think! Did you do anything different from usual this month?

S345 · 16/12/2020 21:18

@mommyofone2019 ooops forgot to tag you in the above! X

mommyofone2019 · 16/12/2020 21:28

@S345 I totally missed my peak on the opks aswell due to a hectic weekend, but glow seemed to be pretty spot on a i think with ovulation.
Different this month was I stopped taking pregnacare and just took 400mcg folic acid per day and also the vital DHA tablets which you take twice a day. I also drank grapefruit juice a week before ovulation as read it helped with cm.

Just ordered some more tests off amazon 🤞🏻

OP posts:
S345 · 16/12/2020 21:33

@mommyofone2019 I have seen a few people mention those DHA tablets - might have a little look at them! Part of me always wonders if all those things make a difference or whether it was just your time ☺️

Fingers crossed for good line progression over the next few days for you! Keep us updated 🥰
