🙈🤣 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 🙃🤣

Thank you @printedlace 💕💕💕💕

Evening ladies, I hope you are all well? Sorry to read about continued frustrations and disappointments with bfn :( it’s frustrating! I’m on my 4th bfn test through sheer impatience. I’m hoping we all don’t see AF and we’re all just testing too soon. I watched some videos of some women who all had really late bfp! So there’s lots of hope out there!

I’ve had some new symptoms this afternoon/evening that have lifted my mood a lot. I’ve been getting rib pain? Not sure what that’s all about? I was bloated until it seemed to lessen yesterday so I’m not sure if it is that? Even more exciting... my boobs suddenly look like a map 😂 my husband just noticed it as I was getting into bed!?! It’s a definite change that’s for sure! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Morning ladies. So I’m really aware of all the heartache that’s going on in this feed, and I debated whether to post this because I didn’t want to come across as insensitive. But I wanted to share what I hope is a success story 🤞🏻

This morning I tested at 12DPO and this is what I got back. Please tell me I’m not seeing things and this is a real coloured line?! I don’t want to tell my husband because if it’s true then I’ll tell him on Christmas Day, so you ladies are my only chance of staying sane/providing clarity!

Sending my love to you all who are on this journey 💛 Xx

Massive congratulations @Rice1992 🎉🎉🎉
Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months ahead!! 💕💕 xxx

I’m sure we will all love to hear of everyone’s successes!!!! CONGRATULATIONS that’s a definite yes! What a wonderful Xmas prezzi to your DH ❤️❤️❤️

Lovely news @Rice1992 huge congratulations!

I've got some news to share, too... 🥰
Very faint BFP last night!

Congrats @printedlace 🎉🎁🎉🎉
Massive congratulations and best wishes to you xxx

@WicketBasket thank you so much, still got absolutely everything crossed for you. I'm really thinking of you, and praying your wishes come true ❤️🙏. Xxx

Hi ladies...sorry I’ve been so quiet on here lately. To be honest I’ve been feeling a bit anxious about everything and hoping my bfp stays. Didn’t want to be on here saying I was anxious when I’ve had my bfp, felt really insensitive. But I have been thinking of you all and read through the thread this morning as I remembered some of you will be testing around now.

I’m sorry this month isn’t been better for you @WicketBasket 💜.

Huge congratulations to @Rice1992 and @printedlace, definitely a faint line on that test!

Everytime I go to the toilet I’m checking for bleeding but nothing so far and tests are getting stronger. Not really too many other symptoms, bit of back pain and a few twinges in tummy. Feeling positive though.

Really hope those with bfps have sticky beans and everyone else enjoys lots of Brie and baileys over the next few days, I really hope next month will be your month - will be thinking of you all xx

@Lemongrass9 bless you. I feel your pain! I'm also doing the same. Did a FRER this morning and got a negative but I think the test was a dud.. it looks so weird!! And the control line was zigzagging 🤷‍♀️😬 fingers crossed it's sticky for us all.
Xx

So exciting!!! A massive congratulations 🥳

Just to update you all.
I've taken a test again this morning and just now. Both stark negative. And I've began spotting.

Another chemical pregnancy.

Wishing you all the very best of luck. I'm going to take a bit of a break from here for a while. ❤️

I'm going to catch up on the thread his evening but just needed to tell someone (not telling other half yet) that I tested today I think 10dpo and was the whitest BFN not even a glimmer of hope 😔 I know it's early but it felt like a kick in the teeth I've had so many symptoms this month and had such high hopes from using the clear blue advanced for the first month...

Fingers crossed still I suppose... lots of love to you all ❤️ so glad this community is here for support ❤️

Thank you @WicketBasket @Noo3833 @printedlace @Lemongrass9 - means a lot.

@printedlace I’m so sorry to hear your news 🙁 This journey is so so cruel sometimes isn’t it. Stay strong - you’ve got this. Sending love 💛

@lemongrass9 that’s totally understandable to feel the way you do! Every step of this journey is going to throw its own challenges. I am now going to be going through the same motions as you, so you’re not alone. Fingers crossed we have sticky beans 🤞🏻

@dano99 don’t give up hope - 10DPO is still quite early. My 12DPO test today was quite faint, so it might just be that you need to give it more time. Wait a few more days and then try again and see how you get on xx

@printedlace so sorry to hear about your news ❤️❤️

Hello ladies, just wondering how you are all doing? I’m due AF on Tuesday 😬 nervous and excited. My symptoms feel less but still present. The biggest one is my breasts and chest is so veiny it’s so different! Also I’m a tea o’holic! I normally have 12+ every day (I know it’s so bad!) I’ve literally had 1 in a week which is unheard of! Very excited but scared of the potential disappointment x

@Noo3833 best of luck, not long for you to wait now! Got my fingers crossed for you ❤️❤️

If I'm honest I've really not been good. To be pregnant for such a short amount of time, planning your future and buying and wrapping the gift you plan to give to your DP to reveal the best gift of all on Christmas Day and then having it ripped away from you is so tough 😔 I'm still having pregnancy symptoms and still bleeding extremely heavily. It's just hard and especially so during Christmas.. I had to remove the gift from under the tree on Christmas Day because our miracle was no longer there.

It makes me feel like a bit of a failure. Like my body can't house our child or that I've done something wrong. I've had a chemical before, but this one has really hit me differently 😔 xx

Hello, sorry I've been so quiet! It's been a busy week or so. Have finally come onto my next cycle and am now ovulating so fingers crossed :)

@printedlace so sorry for youbut please don't feel a failure! You are definitely not one. As pp said, stay strong, even though it's tough✨

@Rice1992 congratulations!! So lovely to see and wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months!!xx

It’s incredibly hard :( I had a chemical last year and it got to me so badly that we stopped trying till now. What helped me was what my doctor said. Somewhere between 1 in 4 to 1/2 of pregnancies end in chemicals. It’s to do with the egg it sperm and nothing to do with the house it’s in. It has to be a perfect mix to make a baby and most people don’t realise it’s even happened it’s those who are looking that notice. Please don’t beat yourself up over something that is not your fault xxx

@printedlace you are definitely not a failure ❤️ it's a tough, heartbreaking ride, but we will all get there in the end xxx

My periods aren't exactly regular, according to the app I'm due today. Nipples suddenly getting excruciatingly sore out of the blue yesterday, still sore today. Slight cramping just now. Slight increase in cm but got that last month. All pointing towards a period. I'm praying it doesn't come but I've never felt so period-y in my life. I took a test at what I think is 10dpo and it was negative. Keep going to the toilet to check if I've come in because I'm so crampy and my nipples feel like glass but no sign yet.

Oh! And I've been so tired. Falling asleep early, waking up late and having to have naps in the day time 😂

Ok... so I normally wake up to AF! That’s not happened 🙈 hopefully she’s not playing a cruel trick on me! I’ve done a clear blue early and I swear I can see the faintest of lines? But I don’t know if I’m making it up because I want it so badly 😭 it’s so faint I can only see it at certain angles and won’t show on camera so I’m going to have to retest in a few days if AF doesn’t show.... why all the waiting 😂🙈

Fingers crossed for you @Noo3833 and @Hayes178 - keep us posted! It’s so hard not to test early isn’t it! How many DPO are you?

My nipples were constantly erect and sensitive @Hayes178 which was one of the symptoms for me. It’s just so cruel that some people get that before their AF too though, so really hard to tell!

Sending my love and wishes to you all though 💛
