Keep calm and TWW.. yeah right!

[beckyBP]

Hey guys,

So I'm in my 6th TWW and roughly 6/7dpos. (Ive stopped monitoring.. for now). I was doing sooo well and now I'm on the obsessive googling stage.

I get a little crampy around this time every month.. I think. 🤣 so I've just been trying to work out what implantation cramps could feel like 🤯

Does anyone else feel like when you aren't TTC the time between periods go super quick but when your in your TWW if feels like the whole of 2020 within that two weeks 🙈

Why can't I just CHILL!!!

Congratulations @beckyBP !!! 😃 What an incredible line. So so happy for you. How are you feeling? Does your OH know yet?

Welcome @Rct4 Good luck on your journey and happy you can share it with us. Ovulation dates and cycle lengths are a nightmare aren't they! I'm not one to use OPKs so I'm rather in the dark with it all! 😂 x

@mooloop @bluemagicalsky thanks girlies!! It doesn't feel real! I've ordered more tests just to be sure.

So I had big plans of how to tell OH but when it happened I ran to our room, turned the light on, woke him and and shoved it under his nose 😂😂 not what I'd planned. Took him a minute.

Hope everyone is well and had a nice weekend xx

@beckyBP Such amazing news, wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy.
Hahaha I love how you told him. Present and in the moment ❤️ Congrats again ☺️ xx

@beckyBP AMAZING!!!! Congratulations!
Also so good to see you get pregnant after 8 cycles there is still plenty of hope!
What did you do differently this month? Maybe the preseed!

My AF just came but you have given me hope for cycle number 6

@kaffy197 thank you doll. So this was my 7th cycle. Honestly I was giving up hope but just proves not too!

So differently, preseed and pregnacare. That was literally it! I definitely ate better in the TWW but who knows if that made a difference.

And the only things different in my TWW were heartburn twice and sorry.. but really stiff nipples the last few days. I just assumed that was the cold. 😂

Great attitude! You've got this girl 💪🏽

Thank you so much @bluemagicalsky honestly.. it's so amazing to be able to talk to you guys. I definitely think we help each other through this x

@beckyBP congratulations!!🎊 that's amazing, I hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy xx

@MsCrapola thank you so much!! My OH is bringing some more tests home from work as we only had the one. Just want to be sure!

Hope everyone's ok!! Xx

Can I join in?

I'm 5dpo of cycle 1 of TTC#2 but with ALOT of history!

DH and I have been TTC off and on since DD was born and she turned 15 last Friday. We stopped TTC in 2016 due to MC #9 and being officially diagnosed with PCOS after many many many scans and wait and sees from the GP... I have APS (anti phospholipid syndrome) as well which is the cause of the MCs... I've worked on a lot of health things and taking conception/female Health vitamins means I now have a reliably regular cycle and ready to TTC again (last ditch effort!) and I'm drawing a line under the old issues and starting fresh!

If it doesn't happen now it never will and DD will be our miracle child (I was told I shouldn't have been able to carry her to term when diagnosed with APS) which I thought I'd made my peace with but obviously not!

Good luck to everyone here in the TWW! Fingers crossed for BFPs for us all!

Welcome @Snoooozzze Wow I can't believe the journey you have been through. I can't even begin to imagine the hurt and trauma you have had to endure. For you to be here is incredible and I have everything crossed for you that this is your time.

Good morning Ladies. I need your help, as you know I've been all over the place this cycle. I tested with a FRER this morning and have a BFP! With my new calculations, I'm 16 DPO. What do you think of the line for 16dpo? I'm now 1 day late for AF. I had a chemical last month so I'm pretty scared and we're trying not to get too carried away, but we're already further than last month! I'll test again Thursday to hopefully see some line progression x

@bluemagicalsky eek that looks good to me! I've actually never used a FRER and don't know much about them but that looks like a good line! 🥰🥰 I think it's safe to say huge congratulations to you 🥳🥳🥳

@Snoooozzze woah what a journey. You've been through it all. Bless you. 🤞🏽 this is your month xx

Thanks @beckyBP Can't believe it, trying to keep level headed for now but that is a lot easier said than done! Crazy how close we are in days as well!

@bluemagicalsky oh god so much easier than done. I'm getting waaay ahead of myself! Holding for happy, healthy pregnancies all round.

We are so close! I think maybe exactly the same? X

*hoping not holding

Absolutely. Oh wow yeah! Just had a look back and exactly the same. My mum's birthday is at the end of Jan so will definitely be telling her then if I make it to there ☺️

I'm 8dpo today and had some spotting. I'm due Thursday my Lp is only 9/10 days 😭 so now I'm worried it's getting shorter! It's very light literally only when I wipe. I record it as spotting on my app and so it doesn't acknowledge it as day 1 of my period and I usually spot a day before I start properly. I'm feeling really down about it now!

@bluemagicalsky omg congratulations!!! So happy for you and @beckyBP!! I really really hope they stick for both of you🎉🎉xx

@bluemagicalsky aw that'll be so lively to tell your mum then. I told my mum tonight. She's so excited😁 how are you feeling?

@MayDay27 sorry you're so upset doll. That could be implantation though? I had a bit of pinky blood on the friday and was due on the Sunday. Hope you're ok!

Thanks again @MsCrapola. How are you doing? X

@beckyBP ah that is so amazing! So lovely to be able to share it! Wish my mums birthday would hurry up! I'm feeling a little better with some good line progression this morning, will attach, 16 & 18dpo. In terms of symptoms, I feel groggy in the morning but that's not new, my boobs are still a little sore and I get small bouts of dizziness during the day. How are you?
Thanks @MsCrapola ☺️
@MayDay27I agree with Becky. It could be a good sign, so don't beat yourself up about it. Fingers crossed for you. Keep us updated

Xx

@beckyBP

I am well thank you. AF has come to an end so I'm excited to start being able to try again but this time I'm going to try not to focus on when I'm ovulating etc and just enjoy it! X

@bluemagicalsky brilliant progression! Bet you're chuffed with that!
Yeah you need your mums birthday now!! Time seems to be going so slowly.

My boobs are super sensitive and I'm a bit crampy and achy on and off not nothing painful. I think it's just hormones and everything stretching I guess.

@MsCrapola glad AF has gone for you and you can get to DTD! Let us know how you get on ☺️

@beckyBP Yeah really happy. I'm going to stop testing now and try and trust the process as the tests are too stressful and make me anxious lol. Did you do any further tests?

@bluemagicalsky I know what you mean! I did one in the evening and I've got two more here. Might do one on the weekend!

I've made a thread in pregnancy called first baby September 2021 if you wanted to join ☺️ xx
