Hi everyone 👋
I've had two miscarriages, one in November 2021, and one in January 2022. Me and my partner have been trying for over a year. We have tried really hard this month to catch ovulation by using OPK's. I'm currently in the dreaded 2WW.

Anyone else out there in the same position? Would love some company in this tricky time! X

That line looks great!

Im feeling like AF might come, looking at my symptoms the last 2 cycles I was definitely cramping and tender breasts 3/4 days before AF arrived. Same today, an hour of cramping and feeling nauseous and breasts feel tight and sore. Wish they weren’t such similar symptoms, really messes with my head!

LDB1985 · 08/06/2022 19:24

Massive good luck for you test @BabyBXx I have also had right sided stabbing pain today! Thanks for making me aware I can order pregnancy tests on prime ✔️ Saves me a trip to the supermarket tonight as I haven’t had chance today!

@Summerbreeze111 with my first I had a little bleed and thought it was the start of my period, it turned out to be implantation bleeding so everything crossed it’s the same for you!

BabyBXx · 08/06/2022 19:38

So weird because my boobs are killing, the stabbing pains in the side and the middle of my uterus when moving, nausea, the discharge i had at 8dpo. Its all crazy ☹❤ im going to drown my sorrows with some chocolate...

SylvieArth · 08/06/2022 20:49

@BabyBXx I'm really sorry..I know exactly how you feel. I still keep thinking 'what if I'm one of the ladies that doesn't get a bfp until like 16dpo' 🤣 but I've started getting period type cramps now so I think I'm out too for sure. Sending you huge love! Only a couple of weeks before we try again ❤❤ xxx

I'm so sorry. Look after yourself, chocolate sounds like a great idea!

Keep positive, you're only a week or so away from a fresh cycle, it will happen!

BabyBXx · 09/06/2022 10:19

@Summerbreeze111 @SylvieArth thank you lovelies ❤... i took the other test just to be sure and defo negative, so im expecting to bleed today 😂
Yep, fingers crossed for the next cycle 🤞❤ this month we only had sex 4 days before ovulation and 1 day after so maybe it wasnt enough xxxx

Cally1980 · 09/06/2022 14:51

I’m sorry @BabyBXx 😞
I know how you feel, I’m sure we all know the disappointment.
Im in the same boat, 11dpo but period due in 2 days and all usual premenstrual stuff plus I checked my cervix and it’s firm and low there was a light amount of pink/red in cm which I’m 100% sure is AF as I had exactly the same last month.
Argh.
Im probably going to have to pay for surgical help, sperm washing and insertion but it’s £1300 ish each ‘go’ and no guarantee that it would even get me. BFP with my old eggs.

Cally1980 · 09/06/2022 14:53

Also I can’t really afford to do it more than once and even once is a huge spend for us.

BabyBXx · 09/06/2022 15:38

@Cally1980 how long have you been trying for lovely?

So whats weird is ive wiped on the tissue early, there was pink discharge i thought was my period starting i have just checked again and theres nothing but creamy CM now? How weird is that? I never spot before a period it usually arrives in full swing. Argh!

Hope everyones ok ❤❤ also @Cally1980 you never know until AF shows up! I really hope the best for you xx

SylvieArth · 09/06/2022 16:14

Hey ladies, AF arrived for me in full force but I wanted to thank you all for keeping me company on this 2WW. Excited to get this out of the way and start a new cycle. Keep in touch!!! Xxx

Hi all
Wanted to update you all with some surprisingly positive news. After continous cramps and no aunt flo, I decided to test.... positive!!!

I honestly nearly fell off my chair. I really thought my period was imminent (I even wore period pants this morning!) Turns out peeing on the results window did not give a false reading after all.

Wishing you all who have not yet tested positive this cycle, all the luck in the world for the next one!

daisyhrl · 09/06/2022 17:52

@Summerbreeze111 oh my goodness so exciting - huge congrats! Are you feeling pregnant now at all? Not really feeling any symptoms at all yet over here which makes it hard to believe...

daisyhrl · 09/06/2022 17:54

@SylvieArth sorry this hasn't been your month... But thanks for starting the thread - it's been really nice sharing this cycle's rollercoaster with you all!

Summerbreeze111 · 09/06/2022 18:08

I'm still getting daily cramps, although not as bad as they were a few days ago! I haven't processed it yet, I dont think it will hit me for a good few days. I'm excited but then I'm wary having read so many sad stories here of chemical pregnancies and miscarriage. I am a huge worrier so I always jump to the worst case scenario. I dont think I will sleep tonight, I have a million thoughts going on my head!

Are you taking more tests, to check the line progression? I'm not sure whether to bother or not!

When did you find out, how far gone are you? Is it your first dc? Yay congratulations 🎊

BabyBXx · 09/06/2022 18:12

@Summerbreeze111 omg.. huge congratulations ❤❤ wishing you all the best ❤❤ how you feeling? I bet it feels surreal....

@SylvieArth thats brilliant your cycle is regular, and this thread has been so lovely talking to you and everyone else xx fingers crossed next month is our month and all the other lovely ladies on this thread like us who didnt get there positive ❤

I still havent come on my period, slight spotting earlier but nothing since so odd i just want my period to come 😩!! Haha xx

daisyhrl · 09/06/2022 18:33

@Summerbreeze111 I got a super faint line at 11dpo so have taken a few tests since, but clear line today (14dpo) so I'm stopping! Line progression means v little beyond confirming initial positive, I think. This is my third pregnancy - MMC then DD1 (who is now 10months). I know it's easier said than done but try not to stress! Can't pretend things don't sometimes go wrong, but pretty much nothing we can do to control things from here on out except try to stay calm and enjoy the fun bits! Is this your first?

LDB1985 · 09/06/2022 19:53

@Summerbreeze111 Such brilliant news, congratulations I’m so pleased for you. Such an exciting time!

Unfortunately for me I got my period overnight. I am not sure if I’m overthinking but I’m wondering if something happened and then stopped, as I know my body and really recognised the symptoms of pregnancy and they stopped yesterday before I started to bleed. Also I am so regular, I have never been 4 days late before. I’m just hoping that my cycle gets back to normal quickly so I know when I’m ovulating for the future. Was a bit gutted when my Amazon prime pregnancy tests arrived this afternoon but hopefully I’ll have need for them soon.

Thanks to everyone for letting me join. I’m glad I didn’t share with anyone in real life so it meant so much to have people to talk to on here x

Cally1980 · 09/06/2022 21:54

Congrats on that BFP!
I’m still lightly spotting pink/red sore breasts etc. I am just waiting for AF both OPK and hcg bfn.

good luck everyone!

MooBugz · 09/06/2022 22:02

@Summerbreeze111 awwwww congrats girl! 🥳🥳🥳🥳

So pleased for you.

Really feel like it's a win for me too when any of you girls get your positive. Rooting for all of you 💪

MooBugz · 10/06/2022 05:22

So I took another test after my faint line on Monday and it's official I can actually say I'm pregnant!

So so scared though I haven't even deleted my nhs app since the MC where I would have been 25 weeks but I'm going to try work through the anxiety and focus on the good.

Thank you so so much for your company during the tww and all the best and I hope you guys all get your positive soon ❤️

daisyhrl · 10/06/2022 07:06

@MooBugz hooray! Wonderful news. I know exactly that anxiety of a pregnancy after a MC... It's complicated to separate grieving the last pregnancy and celebrating the new one, but it is possible, and really hope you can find the space to enjoy and trust this one!

Cally1980 · 10/06/2022 12:59

I’m bleeding and it’s looking normal AF.
I’m crying so gonna cry for a while and then try to carry on until next month.
I hope everyone is okay.

Yoyoathome · 10/06/2022 13:10

@Cally1980, I am so sorry you are sad... Its completely understandable!! Hard to manage isn't it.
Sending everyone good thoughts. x

BabyBx · 10/06/2022 14:53

Hiya everyone how are you all feeling today?❤

I haven't come on my period yet and when I wipe I'm either seeing nothing or I'm seeing this (sorry TMI) 😩

Could this be late implantation? Honestly girls it's so weird I just feel odd within myself, I'm sure I'm just being silly and AF will come in full swing but.. this is really unusual for me?

AF was due yesterday.. I'm so confused, I never spot before a period either xx
