Entering the TWW with BBT charts

[Cakelaur]

I FINALLY got my rise! Positive opk was 3 days later than usual and ovulation seems later than usual too after the peak! 🙈

BUT I'm in the TWW officially!! Who's with me?! I plan to analyse everything and I'll probably test early with cheapies for a laugh! No point in pretending I'll be calm and controlled throughout this TWW!!

Officially 3rd month TTC baby number 3. But had a few months before that "seeing what happens" DS 2 and DS 11months.

Anyone wanna embrace the crazy with me?!

@ContadoraExplorer I'm ok thank you. No I haven't bleed anymore but I just don't know what to think really. I had a miscarriage back in February and I can help but think this is going to end up that way too x

@ContadoraExplorer they don't always photo well I don't think, but it sounds really promising!

I'm 7 weeks but don't feel pregnant, so we'll see how it goes. I'm just a bit tired, constipated and my boobs hurt on and off.

Oh my goodness @ContadoraExplorer I can definitely see a hint of a line and I can never see squinters. Fingers tightly crossed. Do you have another FRER to take tomorrow?

Thank you @SlothMamaToBe I'm going to see how things go and if I make it to week 7/8 I'm going to call the epu, I want to hold out as long as possible, keeping everything crossed x

I can definitely see a line @ContadoraExplorer! Are you going to retest tomorrow?

I've only got a couple of the "free" CB ones. Have ordered another box if FRER but it's saying Thurs. Fingers crossed it gets dispatched tonight so I can test tomorrow 🤞🤞

@Rct4 have you had any cramping? I've had a miscarriage before it's horrible, and ruins the next experience of pregnancy. It's so hard to tell. Friends of mine bled during 1st trimester and totally fine. Or could be implantation bleeding if it was a few days earlier also.
Have you taken tests to see line progression?

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 I got cramping on Wednesday and Thursday which is what made me take a test as I just assumed the bleed was a light period. I had cramping when I had my son 3 years ago and it felt the same. I've not had any cramping since, I feel on and off sickness and sore boobs. I had a miscarriage in February where the 'baby' was gone but the sac continued to grown therefore I continued to get symptoms and that's what's worrying me that it's happening again, But I did have some strange bleeding from the start till 9 weeks with that one.

I don't want to go to the epu yet as I don't believe they will be able to see anything yet anyway as it's way to early.

Yeah I've taken A few tests I don't think they are as dark as I would like right now, but they are Tesco own and I've not used those before so I'm not sure how dark they get compered to others but they are getting darker. I'm going to take a 2nd clear blue digital on Friday and hope that progressed.

I know what you mean about the miscarriage ruining trying again. With my son I took a few test and that was it I was satisfied and didn't think anything else, this time I'm just preparing for a loss and I can't really feel happy. It's rubbish x

@ContadoraExplorer eek I can see the line too!! 🤞🤞🤞 it gets stronger !

@Rct4 I understand with EPU, they can't do much til six weeks really that's all that comforting. It's good you're seeing some progression though, and a CB weeks should be interesting also. I used a Tesco own test with a cross once last time. It was not a super strong line but could be clearly seen, the frer was strong

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 yeah that's what I thought as epu.

Yeah the cross is clearly visible. I'm super tired constantly so that's a good sign. Just trying to stay positive or just not think about it at all x

@Rct4 that sounds positive, and if it was a chemical, I'd have thought the line would have started fading already. So much of early pregnancy seems to be waiting - waiting to get pregnant, waiting to see not a chemical, waiting to see if there's a heartbeat etc 🙈

@rct4 I've heard a few negative things about supermarket tests mostly saying they seem to take longer to darken. That's good that the bleeding has stopped, it's so worrying when it happens and moreso when you've had the miscarriage before but the fact that it has stopped is definitely positive. Fingers crossed for progression on your CB digital when you test 🤞

@a1b2c3d4e5f6g7 I don't remember 'feeling' pregnant until I started to feel movement and my belly started to grow and then it all started to feel real. Not everyone gets morning sickness etc. I definitely didn't really the first time around and any slight nausea was easily curbed with a rich tea or ginger biscuit, but the fatigue is a huge one so take that as a positive thar your body is throwing all it has into growing your baby!

@Hopefulhedgehog sorry to hear AF has arrived for you.

@ContadoraExplorer I definitely see a line. Fingers crossed for you!!! Retest in 48hrs and hopefully will be darker.

@Rct4 glad you've had no more bleeding. Hopefully this is a good sign and things are progressing nicely.

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 glad things are still going ok. Enjoy being symptom free!

Thanks @ContadoraExplorer just keep reading no MS means much higher risk of mc, and since I've been there already I'm just feeling a bit anxious I think. Nothing to do but wait and see!

DH picked me up another test on the way back from golf last night 😊

I can't quite believe it, been crying this morning already 🙈

@ContadoraExplorer 🥳😍 huge congratulations!! So happy for you! How many dpo are you ?

Thanks @slothmamatobe I'm 10DPO today.

How are you feeling, I know you weren't temping but do you have an inkling at how many DPO you are?

Oh that’s a great line for 10dpo! Are you going to keep testing? What does DP think? 😊
I’m doing ok thank you, my scan was fine they said they couldn’t see anything abnormal , so just waiting on DP SA now .
I think I’m about 2-3dpo, looong wait ahead !!

@ContadoraExplorer congratulations!!!!! That's lovely news!

@ContadoraExplorer congratulations! That's a great line for 10dpo. So pleased for you.

Thanks @a1b2c3d4e5f6g7 I'm so happy right now but, like you, pretty nervous at the same time.

@slothmamatobe I've got another box of FRER coming from Amazon so I'll test again over the next few days just for line progression but once they're done, they're done!

That's good about your scan, sometimes, I think, the worry about things potentially not working makes them not work. Probably the stress of it all. So now that you know maybe it'll help things along.

Congratulations @ContadoraExplorer! Really happy for you 😊

I'm 9dpo today. AF started this time last cycle so keeping my fingers crossed that the vitamin C and B6 will have extended my luteal phase by a day or two🤞🤞🤞

Temps are still high but boobs have stopped hurting and I was having AF like cramps yesterday so not very hopeful for a BFP
