TTC TWW November 2021

[winkles23]

Hi 👋🏻 anyone else in the TWW?

@Tinkerbell098 - I'll try again tomorrow with FMU this time, I had some more spotting yesterday so maybe it's because it's literally just implanted if I am? Idk but if it's negative again in the morning I'll test again Sunday if AF still hasn't shown up. Hopefully yours is just too early to pick up yet too xx

Hi ladies, I’m with you and feeling your pain.. 10DPO today, no usual Pre period symptoms but BFN :(

Just read the leaflet (I know I know should have read that first 😅) you can take it 4 days before your missed period but it's most accurate from first day of missed period...gives me that slight bit of hope I guess and hang in there @TTCThyroid2021 still early yet xx

@TTCThyroid2021 sorry to hear about your BFN. I think today is disappointment day for all of us. Hoping to hear some good news in the next couple of days from you girls.

@kizzy97 yes gives us some hope. I've just gone and bought some Sainsbury's own ones and it says the same thing. Don't think I have the courage to test again though as this morning's test really put me down. I'm glad you girls are here to talk it through as I haven't even told my DH.

@Tinkerbell098 - I know what you mean, DP knows I bought the tests but dosen't know I've taken one yet. When do you think you'll try again?

Sorry to hear about your BFN's ladies. But remember you aren't out until AF shows.. I don't know why we all do it ourselves testing early but we just can't help it can we.
I saved myself the heartache this morning, went to test and just thought no lets wait and see if AF turns up.

I am 15DPO today, AF due tomorrow and don't have any kind of symptoms that it is going to start yet so hopefully thats good news. Wiped a TINY bit of brown on 12DPO so if AF hasn't turned up by tomorrow morning then hoping if that was IB then surely it would show up positive 4 days later?

xx

@kizzy97 yea, my DH has seen tests lying around but I've never told him I've ever tested. I think I'll wait until Saturday morning and will test when he's around, at least for some emotional support and then we could go out to get some cake to cheer me up. That's the plan anyway. But not hopeful at all as I don't have any symptoms whatsoever. I hardly get any symptoms before AF either, so I'm always clueless.

@beckybabyx thanks! I didn't think it was that early to test. But I guess everyone's different and every test is different. I think 4 days is a good amount of time to be able to detect if implantation happened. What test would you be using?

Think I might be out, I'm still spotting

@Tinkerbell098 I have some internet cheapies but I think I may get a FRER from boots this evening if AF/AF symptoms haven't started yet xx

@kizzy97 is it normal for you to be spotting the days leading up to AF? I've heard that IB can go on for a few days and some actually mistake it for AF.

@beckybabyx sounds like a good plan. Let us know how it goes. Hoping for some good news tomorrow xx

Yes I haven't told my DH either that I've been testing, because I want to be sure and also want to surprise him in a cute way with our DD involved. So he has absolutely no knowledge of anything - you guys are my sounding board saviours ❤️

@Tinkerbell098 - It is normal for me to spot leading to af not as early as it's started this month though. Idk think my bfn this morning has just thrown me off and I'm feeling a little less optimistic and @mightbeyesmightbeno I'm hoping to surprise my partner too and get DS involved

@kizzy97 yea, seeing a BFN really puts you down, I've been feeling so deflated today. That's a very cute idea to surprise partner with your DC. Hope this is your month,!

Hi ladies - can I join?
To save my sanity as k can’t talk to anyone else about it!
I’m 12 dpo today still bfn.
Tested everyday since 7dpo.
I literally have every symptom of early pregnancy - I swear it’s my brain playing tricks.
I had an eptopic end of august, I’m anxious and just want a bfp 😥
Sending you all baby dust. Hate waiting for af! xx

@Jhodd welcome to the thread. A few of us here are on similar cycle days to you and are due AF tomorrow/this weekend. I got a BFN this morning on 12 dpo as well, so I hear you. I'm always anxious in my final week of the cycle as it has always ended in disappointment in my TTC journey.

@Tinkerbell098 il be keeping my fingers crossed for you (and all the others due af!) this weekend!
Really hope we have some bfps by Monday! xx

Hi @Jhodd welcome! Fingers crossed for you too, I tested BFN today also 12dpo xx

Hi @Jhodd , sorry to hear about your ectopic:( keeping everything crossed for your BFP this week, what tests have you been using?
I’m almost a year into TTC, found out I have an under active thyroid 3 months ago so hoping it wint be much longer to wait. Good news is I usually have spotting by now so at least my medication seems to be helping lengthen my luteal phase.. also had acupuncture this month .

@mightbeyesmightbeno my plan is the same, surprise in a gift,.. hope your feeling okay !

It sounds like we're all literally due the same couple of days, hoping these BFN's turn into BFP's for us all!

@TTCThyroid2021 I'm so glad you've messaged on here, I also have a underactive thyroid and I've been wanting to speak to someone else in the same boat! What are your levels at the moment? Have you told your doctor you are TTC? xx

Ah @beckybabyx I don’t know anyone else in the same situation either! So my TSH 5 weeks ago was 3.9, it was 8.9 when I had it tested 3 months ago so the Levo is definitely working and my spotting has stopped so that’s a positive. All my other labs like t4 etc are within normal range. My doctors know we’re TTC and I’d been told years ago my thyroid was on the cusp so I thought I’d get it rechecked and glad I did! They wrote to an endocrinologist for advice who have said they want my TSh under 2.5 and the doctor won’t do any extra tests until it’s come down to this. I’ve got my next blood test a week today so fingers crossed. I’ve tried cutting out gluten to see if that helps but haven’t been that strict with it! (Im already dairy free as have lacrose intolerance!)
What are your levels at the mo? X

@TTCThyroid2021 My TSH was quite high the last time I had a test (which was a while ago) but I read up about TSH being below 2.5 when TTC so I told my doctor and had a blood test last Monday but the results are STILL not back!! x

So frustrating! @beckybabyx I have to call my docs to get the results, they never call me to discuss. So annoying

So I took another test.. a frer and the one step which I originally tested positive on, both bfn! So confused! I just don’t understand how I had two vvfp in same wee! Nevermind, onto next month!

So I’ve brought some FRER from boots tonight and I’ve held a wee since 6.30, shall I do one tonight or just wait till morning? Xx
