Just started my TWW, 1dpo today I think as I had my static smiley on Tuesday. We dtd on Friday and Saturday and twice on Sunday so hopefully I can still have a chance. DP is away so was unable to dtd since then. I'm only on cycle 2 of ttc but I am so impatient. Anyone else in the tww?

@LovelyLion3 do you mind if I ask why you were told that after a miscarriage? Was it following your first miscarriage that you had your first laparoscopy?

So promising to hear you’ve had two successful pregnancies, but I really am sorry about all your miscarriages and hope the next pregnancy is successful for you.

@LilsJ2 He had actually told me beforehand of the issues endometriosis causes. But after the miscarriage I was devastated and I remember asking him if I'd be able to have a baby and he then told me that it would be very difficult if at all possible. My 5yr old is a birth control baby! Forgot to mention that! So not only was it possible but he is really my little miracle rainbow baby as I was on the pill. The 4yr old I just wasn't taking care of myself well and he came along. Now I not only have the endometriosis but also I am older so I hope I can conceive soon. I will be 39 this year.

@LilsJ2 I've had two miscarriages in 2019 and now Im ready to try. I just feel so impatient. I'm not getting any younger. 😂

@LilsJ2 I'm so sorry you are feeling like that. I really can empathise because I felt that way too and it was awful. When TTC you just learn to be resilient don't you! I'm hopeful for you for this month 🤞🏻

Hello @TTC94 I'm really sorry for your loss. You know what they say though, it only takes one time! (Apparently 😆) so hopefully that was the time that did it for you 🤞🏻

LilsJ2 · 17/04/2021 08:40

@LovelyLion3 thank you for sharing your storey. It really gives me hope. Some Drs are amazing but some just don’t seem to have a sensitive way with words do they! I guess they were trying to prepare you for the worst but getting pregnant within 6 months whilst on the pill is quite a far cry from what you were told! I’m so glad it worked out for you. It must be so heartbreaking and leave you feeling defeated after having multiple miscarriages. I feel that way after having 1! I totally get the feeling of impatience, I’m only on cycle 2 post miscarriage and TTC seems to be all I can think about, feel like I’m going a bit mad! Hopefully your past success stories give you some hope that you can conceive your 3rd fairly soon.

Hello @TTC94 sorry also to hear about your miscarriage, hope you are doing ok. Once is all it takes! Try your best not to test early (I’m absolutely guilty of it) but I find it just brings unnecessary stress - I do totally understand the urge though. Try and hold out for a few more days (14 DPO if you can!). Fingers crossed for you xx

LilsJ2 · 17/04/2021 08:44

@minthumbugs you absolutely do! Some people might breeze through the TTC journey, I can be a bit of an anxious worrier so I am not one of those people 😂! Thank you I hope this is your month too 🤞

minthumbugs · 17/04/2021 13:41

@lilsJ2 I'm the exact same! I'm a bit of a control freak so I can't take the 'just see what happens' route lol.

Anyone have any exciting symptoms?

LovelyLion3 · 17/04/2021 17:48

No symptoms at all as I'm only about 3dpo. Anyone closer to being able to start testing? I got some frer tests while I was out yesterday. I'm no where close to start testing but wanna be ready. Can you tell I'm Im a POAS addict. 😂 The impatience is so real.

minthumbugs · 18/04/2021 10:39

You're so prepared @LovelyLion3! When do you plan to test? I'm 9dpo, my app says the first time I can test is 15dpo I think so I'm waiting it out. I have so much hope and don't want to be disappointed again 😩

LovelyLion3 · 18/04/2021 19:10

@minthumbugs I have a CB, two frer and two cheapies. I'm gonna test with a frer at like 9dpo. I'm 4dpo today. I'd like to say I'll wait until AF is due but I'd be lying. 😂

OP posts:
minthumbugs · 18/04/2021 20:19

@LovelyLion3 haha 4 days to go then! 🤞🏻🤞🏻I need some restraint, don't have any FRERs only cheapies. I think they are the sensitive ones (need to check but don't want to go near the box yet!!) but I'm trying to wait it out - aaaahhhh help 🤣

Cherryblossom2021 · 18/04/2021 20:36

I can see a line @Cherryblossom2021. Have you done another since? X

LovelyLion3 · 18/04/2021 21:42

@Cherryblossom2021 I see a line too!!! I doubt an indent line would be that noticeable. Take another one just to be sure. Maybe a red dye one.

Cherryblossom2021 · 18/04/2021 22:10

Hi ladies , no I was going to try and wait a week. Luckily I’m really busy in meetings all this week WFH and not finishing till late so can’t get to the shops for more tests!! Jst need to stop myself going on Amazon .

November4 · 18/04/2021 23:16

Hi everyone, I hope it's OK to join. I've started my 2WW today. I had the beginnings of ovulation pain yesterday and they have been full force today. DTD this afternoon, the only time during my fertile window as I've ovulated earlier than usual. 🙄 trying to not get my hopes up too much but this is exactly how I conceived with my daughter so I'm hopeful! Just hoping we caught it in time and we haven't missed our chance. Good luck to everyone waiting! 🤞🏼

LovelyLion3 · 19/04/2021 04:21

@November4 I think you have a very good chance! I was only able to dtd 3 days before ovulation so thinking I'm out this month but still keeping my fingers crossed. Sending baby dust your way!!

@Cherryblossom2021 I can definitely see a line!
Welcome @November4 😊

TTC94 · 19/04/2021 07:26

12DPO today. I can’t believe it. I can’t stop crying. I’m a teacher so I’m back at work today and I’m so happy, nervous and scared all simultaneously.

13 months TTC and one miscarriage. We were losing all hope and we only managed to dtd once this cycle.

Hoping and praying that this little seed will stick Shock

I didn’t really have any symptoms (other than boobs looking different) and I tested yesterday and it looked pretty negative to me. These were with my first morning urine at 6am.

Good luck to those who are still in with a chance this month.

I hope you don’t mind me posting but I could just burst and needed to share with someone!

@TTC94 CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 So happy for you!!! Sending lots of sticky dust your way for happy and healthy pregnancy and baby.

@LovelyLion3 @Orwell08 thank you both so much xx

minthumbugs · 19/04/2021 08:17

@TTC94 congrats! What a nice surprise to keep you going through your first day back at work. Hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months. X x

Cherryblossom2021 · 19/04/2021 08:21

@TTC94 congratulations, it’s such a scary time eh, not wanting to tell anyone and wishing you could tell the world. I’m still working from home don’t think I could cope getting on the tube in the mornings right now for work I feel so crap!
Enjoy your day at work, I’m sure the kids will keep your mind busy!!

TTC94 · 19/04/2021 08:28

@Cherryblossom2021 Thanks so much for your well wishes.

Congratulations on your positive too!

Wishing you a healthy pregnancy and baby xx
