TWW anybody?

[AIC2015]

Hi guys! I believe I ovulated today (CD14) after I got a static smiley on my OPK yesterday evening, this was after a flashy smiley in the morning! We DTD last night and now comes the start of the dreaded two week wait! Does any one fancy driving themselves crazy with symptom spotting and trying to to take a test too early with me? 🤣

@Confused678866 @BCM2021- Haha wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to get pregnant without having sex all the time! 😂 They say sperm can live up to 5 days but I wish it 100% did and then we would only need to do it every 5 days. Normally I am always up for it but like you said, scheduling it just doesn’t feel the same 🙈

🙈 have to agree with everyone, the schedule is a massive turn off 😭🤣

Yep and I’m back on the schedule tonite 😂!

@BCM2021 To be honest, we're usually just too tired for DTD, it's not like how it used to be before we had baby number 1!
Now it's me texting him telling him when it has to happen and to make sure we're both free 🤦🏼‍♀️😂
@Intrigued2020 Haha that would be fab, every 5 days is doable! Every other day, not so doable 🥴

sorry if TMI!! But I seem to be feeling a bit thrush like now 🙈😂 think it’s all the DTD so much, not glamorous this trying lark 😂,

@BCM2021 oh no! I thought that the other day too 🙈 luckily don’t think it is but it wasn’t great!

@Confused678866 I think your little one is a bit younger than mine but I definitely get what you mean! I remember roughly the time I got pregnant last time, definitely not a chore and now it’s all trying to be quiet cus she is a light sleeper and no one wants a toddler wandering in midway 😂

Did another test this morning, definitely a negative for me this month, boo! I had felt hopeful but not to be this month. Anyone else testing soon? x

@Intrigued2020 Yes, long cycles here too, I feel your pain! I only re-started having periods in January 2020 after over a decade on the Depo contraceptive injection (during which I had no periods, it was a joy!), so wasn't sure what to expect. It took a while for my cycles to settle down, but generally it's mid 30s. After my MC last August they dropped to 29 days which I was quite pleased about as they pass so much quicker, but then my body did a U-turn and decided to try out 40+ days before coming back to more like my normal now!

Does anyone else get any spotting mid-cycle? The last few months I've started having 3-4 days of dark brown spotting a few days before ovulation, which is a bit annoying, although it does give me a kind of early warning system that ovulation is imminent!

@Confused678866 - we aim to DTD at least 3 times a week throughout the cycle, but make sure it's every other day around ovulation. Trying every day over the peak window got too stressful for us, so this seems more manageable!

Was laughing with my partner earlier as alongside my progesterone blood test, he's having a semen analysis and we didn't realise until he read the instructions that you have to keep the sample warm (it suggested tucking the pot in a pocket!) and get it to the fertility testing centre within an hour of producing it. Luckily our nearest centre is only half an hour's drive from us but still, will be a bit stressed if there are traffic delays, reckon it should come with a special semen siren you can pop on your car...MAKE WAY, IMPORTANT SPERM COMING THROUGH!

@teateaandcoffee Just saw your message, sorry to hear it's a negative for you this month

@PaperFleur 😂😂😂😂 sperm coming through

@teateaandcoffee oh no... Sorry to hear that 😒, how many Dpo are u now? So Annoying. I won’t be testing yet, I’m 6dpo from the early solid but calendar says I’m still in fertile window until Monday! So carrying on DTD again tonite then again Sunday Monday! Luckily what I thought what thrust seems to of disappeared for now anyway! I think it’s the extra sex to be fair. @LKB89 how ru getting along ?

@teateaandcoffee Haha yes, that would be a mood killer wouldn't it 🙈😂

Oh no, sorry about the BFN! How long have you been trying now? X

@teateaandcoffee - oh no! Sorry to hear that! Your not 100% out yet though 🤗 @PaperFleur - Haha sperm siren made me laugh! Long cycles are so annoying aren’t they! I should be ovulating by now but have to wait another 2 weeks 😩😩 I’ve never had mid cycle spotting so I can’t help you there but I do get spotting before AF starts which never happened before 🙈 @BCM2021 - Ooo you are getting closer to testing! I’m excited for you 🤗

@PaperFleur Yes that sounds like a good effort! I was aiming for every other day up to and throughout my fertile window but we'll see how we get on! I'd got it in my head to DTD tonight but OH has gone for drinks 'just a couple' he said at 3pm.. those couple must be lasting a long time 🙄👀 so I guess tonight is out of the window! 😂

Haha sperm siren!! 🤣🤣 that's tickled me! 🙊

Hey @teateaandcoffee thanks for checking in 🥰
Just took a step back for a few days from everything, just been super down and moody AF about my period showing up! I'll be ok in a couple of days when we try try try again 😩🙄

I'm out with friends tomorrow for outdoor drinks yay! So I'm sure will feel better then ❤️

Hope you're all ok!

Ooooh @BCM2021 I actually had that last month too, thrush like itching but nothing thrush! It's deffo all the DTD!

@BCM2021 sorry it was you that messaged 😂 I'm tired!

Hope you're doing well ❤️

Hi ladies have any of you ever experienced implantation bleeding? X

@Sgemss I had implantation bleeding with my first baby back in 2018, I didn't know that's what it was at the time though - I assumed it was a 'light period' and my body readjusting after stopping the pill only a month before xx

I’m sure I had it with my little boy but it was nearly 5 years ago so can’t be sure I’m not due on till Monday and I never come on early it’s not light but it’s not heavy either I had a ultrasound on Wednesday due to having two chemicals they have been running test.. anyway I rang for my results and my doctor said theirs nothing to worry about but they are re booking a scan told me not to worry and that it didn’t have to urgent so bow I’m wondering if they have seen something and didn’t want to confirm it due to me previously having chemicals

@Sgemss What's the bleeding like? My IB was heavier than most people say it is but it was more of a brown colour.
Oh I'm sure there isn't anything to worry about - I'm sure they'd have to tell you if they think they saw something?? Maybe try and call them and ask what it's for as it may put your mind at ease a little x

Confused678866–

The whole thing is just confusing it’s heavy enough to change a panty liner but not a pad I have used a tampon before reading you shouldn’t but it’s not filling a tampon but (TMI) upon removing the tampon it also contains cervical mucus.. usually at night I would pool, but it’s not until I get up and move around ( make a brew then go toilet) that the blood appears again and it’s a very dark red colour where as usually it’s just bright red.. I have checked my cervix and it’s still high and closed so I’m really confused

Lastnight I carried on looking for people who have experienced similar and I noticed the word corpus luteum which I recall the sonograph asking a student sonograph what it was.. they also said I was mid cycle (Wednesday) just as the bleeding started.. at the end I asked why my period had started and he sort of brushed me off told
me to phone the doctor for results but he said just as I walking out it doesn’t look like a miscarriage.. due to be having two previous that’s why I was having the scan.. just think it’s a strange thing to say as I wasn’t due on anyway and he really caught me of guard so I just said ok and walked out sorry it’s so long xx

@Sgemss when is your af due date? I'm not sure really but from what I've read IP can vary a lot between women, I did have some light spotting with 1st but think it was dark (but also I can't remember properly).
Did they tell you why they were rebooking the scan, or is it an additional scan? They have to tell you really if they have concerns, it's not my experience they would hide something from you, they are normally pretty up front so I hope you don't worry that they are.

@BCM2021 15dpo today

AF is definitely here! Not feeling great, cramps and all! Boo! Hope it's a quick one.

@teateaandcoffee AF is due tomorrow but I have a 30 day cycle I don’t ever come on early if anything it’s usually bang on time or a day late.. half way through the month I had brown/red watery discharge and a lot of it. Usually AF is 4 days heavy the first 2 days medium and day 4 I tamper off this has been the same flow since Wednesday and no sign of it stopping

It would mean this cycle has only been 24 days long

No I rang at 9 in the morning for my results and had to ring 3-4 times before they had been read she just said it nothing to worry about and it’s not urgent but they are sending me for another scan it was the receptionist just feel like their all being cagey with me as they usually give the results over the phone their and then x

@teateaandcoffee sorry to hear that 😒, yes hopefully it’s quick ....

@Sgemss hello! I noticed you said you have a 30 day cycle, can I ask when you usually ovulate? Or suspect u do anyway! Thanks

@Sgemss was the scan on Wednesday a follow up to the previous chemical pregnancies?
I would call and ask to speak to doctor to explain to you why you are being sent for a rescan. They wouldn’t purposefully hide the reason for a scan from you but it sounds like the receptionist just didn’t have the full information.
