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 🙃🤣

😂😂😂 you’re definitely right there!

Rice1992 · 18/12/2020 09:43

@printedlace yes I feel you - this is our first time TTC and it’s like a whole new world of info out there! Crazy. I also feel you on the emetophobia front - I’m ok if I’m at home but am sh*t scared of getting morning sickness and throwing up in public. I’m just praying if I get that BFP that I take after my Mum who didn’t get any sickness 🙈

I’ll be around 12DPO on Tuesday, so will probably try then. I have got the boots up to 5 days early ones, so hoping they’re ok. I also ordered the ovulation kits, so one of the two will hopefully be useful 😅

printedlace · 18/12/2020 09:45

@Rice1992 oh god me too, worst fear. I've had emetophobia since I was really young, it's been an issue for years and years! My mum had really bad morning sickness so that makes me a little nervous 🤣😢 xx

Yes me too @printedlace! I’ve had my ups and downs with it that’s for sure. As horrible as it is to have, it’s nice to know I’m not alone with it! Fingers crossed if we get our BFPs we’re lucky with the sickness 😅🤞🏻 But tbh I’ll just feel forever thankful if I get that BFP - the stuff we’ll have to deal with after would all be worth it! X

printedlace · 18/12/2020 10:19

@Rice1992 yes 100% agree with that! Whatever we have to endure will be so worth it for the little bundle of joy we get to hold at the end ♥️

Think I might be out again this month 😓 cervix is nice and high and soft, but I've had no discharge all day and cm is starting to feel a little bit like glue

printedlace · 18/12/2020 20:08

@Hayes178 oh bless you! Try to keep positive! You're not out AF shows! I'm trying to keep positive too - feeling a bit down and deflated! I am so scared to test again as I can't stand the disappointment 😬😭

OP posts:
Hayes178 · 18/12/2020 20:22

@printedlace try and keep your head up too! When was the last time you tested? It could still be too early. I have my fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞

printedlace · 18/12/2020 20:25

@Hayes178 thank you! Trying to remain optimistic but it's soo hard when you don't feel it! 🙈

I last tested this morning. 10DPO. I know in my heart it could be too early. I just thought perhaps after the awful nausea I had, it could be it! Xx

OP posts:
Hayes178 · 18/12/2020 21:25

@printedlace I tested at 10dpo and it was negative, I then tested at 13dpo and it was a bfp! she's now three years old! Definitely keep up hope! It is very hard to keep up optimistic. I really don't feel it this month, I tried fertility lube and lying down after sex which I've never done before so thought hopefully this month might of been the month! Xx

Hayes178 · 18/12/2020 21:26

Keep being optimistic **

printedlace · 18/12/2020 21:27

@Hayes178 aww that's such a lovely BFP story! Bless her ❤️🥰
Sounds like you've done as much as you possible can, so fingers crossed for you!

I've recently tried to lie down after sex, too! Usually I'd go to have a wee and have a shower immediately after, so this does seem a little weird 😬🤣.

Ahh I just want this soooo bad! Our first baby after the awful chemical we had. It would be so special! ❤️

OP posts:
Hayes178 · 18/12/2020 21:36

I'm really hoping you get your bfp ❤️

Same here, I usually just go straight to the toilet and shower afterwards. My daughter was conceived and I was lying down after sex as well! So I'm hoping that's the solution to all this ❤️

I'm so sorry to hear about your chemical pregnancy 😓❤️ xxx

printedlace · 18/12/2020 21:43

@Hayes178
Thank you ❤️ it was a horrible point in my life. Seeing the BFP's and getting so excited and then it all just came crashing down. My cycles haven't been the same since. It takes my body longer to surge to ovulate and I don't seem to get any EWCM anymore so its really taken a toll on my body 😢💔

Just got everything crossed so tightly for us both! 😬♥️

I've got the faintest little AF type twinges going on right now.. very very faint but they're there! God knows what's going on 🙈😬

OP posts:
Rice1992 · 18/12/2020 22:01

@printedlace I have them too and have been for the last few days. Had shooting pains a couple of days ago in the lower right side which would’ve been about 6 DPO if we’re going by my app, but feel like that might’ve been too early for implantation? Need to stop reading into things but I can’t help it 🙈 The wait to test goes sooo slowly 😩

printedlace · 18/12/2020 22:09

@Hayes178 ohh interesting that we have the same kind oh symptoms! The AF type cramps in experiencing are remaining very light at the money so I'm really hoping they aren't a sign of AF coming. I remember last month I had similar but from 11DPO, and the cramps weren't as light as what I've got now!

OP posts:
Noo3833 · 19/12/2020 08:29

Has anyone had any breast pain? Since last night I’ve been getting like small twinges either in the side of my breasts or more towards under my arm/back? I don’t get sensitive or painful breasts with period pains. X

printedlace · 19/12/2020 09:01

@Noo3833 I've had very sensitive boobs Burt mostly nipples. I've heard that pain on the sides of your boobs are a good sign!!

I've pretty much accepted I'm out this month now 😢

OP posts:
Hayes178 · 19/12/2020 09:50

My cervical mucus has never been this dry in it's life! It's as if my body is trying to scream at me that I'm not pregnant 😩, my cervix was still nice and high this morning but slightly harder and slightly lower and a lot drier than yesterday. I'm 7dpo and I'm pretty sure I'm out now 😓

printedlace · 19/12/2020 09:56

@Hayes178 ohh sorry to hear that! You're not our until AF! ❤️❤️

OP posts:
printedlace · 19/12/2020 09:57

Here was this mornings test. Kept thinking I could see a line but pretty sure I can't.

🙈🤣 Who wants to symptom spot with me.. 🙈🤣
OP posts:
Hayes178 · 19/12/2020 09:59

All I can see is an indent line 😓 but as you say, it's not over until AF comes! My fingers are still crossed 🤞 ❤️

printedlace · 19/12/2020 10:02

@Hayes178 I'm not sure I can even see that! 🙈🤣 aw fingers crossed for us all. This is torture!

OP posts:
Rice1992 · 19/12/2020 10:34

@Hayes178 @printedlace I still have my fingers crossed for you both 🤞🏻

I guess @hayes178 you’re still only 7DPO so there’s still time? Although I know hardly anything about CM - is that just what’s inside or what comes out too? Someone explain to me please 😅 Although not sure I want to know as it’ll be another thing to monitor 🙈

I’m trying to hold off testing until Tuesday when I’ll be around 12DPO, but the wait is torture 😩
