🙈🤣 Who wants to symptom spot with me.. 🙈🤣

[printedlace]

Hi all,

So I'm actually strangely calm about the TWW at the moment, which is unusual for me!

We had a chemical pregnancy 2 months ago and since then I really try not to symptom spot as I try and protect myself from disappointment.. but I thought it might be nice to follow each others journeys during the TWW and keep each other motivated and positive!

So here's my story:

-TTC for 7 months, first baby!👼

• had a chemical pregnancy 2 months ago💔

Currently 6 DPO:

• cramping in lower stomach; AF type pains
• constipated like MAD 😬😳
• boobs are very tender (especially areola's and nipples)
• very veiny boobs!
• I actually woke myself up from a deep sleep last night as I was dizzy?! How does that even happen 🙃🤣

@Lemongrass9I'm 10DPO and just got a BFN. I know I should have waited, its definitely better that way!

@Newstart20 sorry to hear of your BFN! It could still be too early so don't loose hope ❤️

@Lemongrass9 ohh, all of those symptoms sound hopeful!! I've got my fingers crossed for you so tightly ❤️

I've noticed some white milky / watery CM this morning. Not tonnes of it, but usually by now I don't notice any discharge in the TWW. 🤕😬🤷‍♀️

@Newstart20 bfn at 10dpo doesn’t necessarily mean not pregnant though so don’t worry too much.

Thanks @printedlace I’m really hopeful for you this month too, would be so lovely to have lots of bfps on this thread. Slept for 9 hours last night even after having 2 quick naps in the day 😬 so feel like that really might mean something.

Not sure what discharge is supposed to be like in early pregnancy but if it’s unusual for you then that’s promising 💜.

So hard to think of anything else at the moment!

So I've just been and checked again on my IC from this morning - and this is what it looks like...
there's something there. But I wonder if it's just an indent line...

Better pic.. don't think it's got any colour

I agree there is something there @printedlace but you may be right about indent line or could be evap line if out of time frame. Looks hopeful though, maybe you’ll get a stronger line over next few days ☺️.

@Lemongrass9 this is the worst part of TTC isn't it 🤣🙈 trying to keep it rational - I really think it's probably an indent line but we will see! Xx

Could it just be too soon to test hun? X

@Noo3833 I think so! Remaining positive anyway as there's still time - I try and think of it as though 'if AF isn't here I've still got a chance' 🤣😊

I can't seem to stop symptom spotting 😂 cervix is much higher today, can barely reach it. From what I could tell with the tip of my finger, it was medium soft (?). Unusual cm which looked a little like ewcm which is weird because I only have wet fertile mucus and not ewcm. I dtd today because of the cervical position and cm, my longest cycle was 39 days so don't want to risk not dtd today and this turning out to be a longer cycle and I ovulated late! I'm supposed to be 5dpo.

Exactly! And the worst that can happen is we try again next month, which is deeply annoying but definitely not lost hope

It’s so hard to remain rational when ttc through @printedlace it’s like some Hong happens to make you into a completely different person 😂.

@Hayes178 I think I’ve read that you can have ewcm a little later in cycle even after ovulation but great that you were able to cover all bases.

@littleeggcup thanks so much for sharing, that's so helpful and huge congratulations ❤️❤️❤️

@Lemongrass9 oh yes tell me about it 🤣 I've been SO nauseous today, ive got an actual diagnosed phobia of being sick; but I've actually just been wishing I would be sock to get the feeling away! It's awful !

Hello everyone 🙌🏽

Can I join? And ask a very TMI question?

I’m about 8dpo but have been getting CM like snot. I know that’s a disgusting description but it’s like you know when you have a cold and then you have sticky yellow snot? Like that, but no odour or itch. And small amounts of it not too much.
If I haven’t made you feel too sick, could anyone share if they’ve had this and whether this is something to worry about?

Thank you lovely ladies xxx

@WicketBasket welcome! Lovely to have you join 😊

Ohhh that must be a good sign?! I haven't had that myself however I am currently experiencing milky-white wet CM. Very strange!

Fingers crossed for you! Xx

Thanks for the welcome @printedlace

It's nice to have friends through the process, I feel so much better since I found mumsnet

Ooh I've heard that milky white CM is a good sign which is why I'm not holding too much hope in this yellow CM (which by the way, seems to have cleared up now )

I guess we just wont know until we know right? What a mind boggle this all is! When are you testing?

Fingers and toes crossed for you lovely xxx

@WicketBasket the TWW is a minefield! It's so hard to know what's what, if it's PMS, or pregnancy!

My CM is usually completely dry after ovulation so that's why this seems slightly odd! 😬🤷‍♀️ fingers crossed for you, too! Xx

So my husband came home from work early and I gave in to the testing temptation even though I promised myself I’d wait until Sunday...

@Lemongrass9 oh my god! HUGE congratulations! 🥰🥰🥰

My
Goodness the nausea has got me good today 🥺 currently sitting on the bathroom floor next to the toilet 😬😬
I've got a phobia of sickness and being sick, so the fact I'm actually wanting to just throw up and be done with it is slightly odd 🤣🤷‍♀️

Thank you @printedlace feeling a bit weird to be honest, hasn’t really sunk in yet. Kind of took the test fully expecting a bfn or at the most a bit of a squinter but got that instead.

Sorry to hear your feeling so sick, must be awful with a phobia of being sick. Really really hope it means you’ll be getting good news too this month xx

@Lemongrass9 ahh I bet it hasn't quite sunk in as yet! What lovely news though. Just before Christmas too! So excited for you 💕❤️

Yeah the sickness is so awful. It's really draining too as I'm just wanting to get it over with now but I can't 🤣😭
