1DPO TWW.... want to hang out?

[Angie2018]

So I am now officially in the dreaded TWW... anyone else just entered the most boring two weeks on earth? 🤣

Period due 5th July.... may test next week if I get implantation symptoms! Cycle 6, #1....

Whose on the same journey? X

I'm 5DPO today so a bit ahead of you. Cycle 5 TTC#1! I'm 40 though so not expecting much but still giving it a go! Really try not to get my hopes up each month but I think it happens anyway!

Hi @Angie2018 I’m also 1DPO today! Trying for #1 as well. I had a MMC at the end of April and this is my first proper cycle since then. It took me 2 cycles then so I guess this is technically my 3rd.

I usually have long cycles (35 days+ isn’t unusual) so I probably won’t test until I’m super late!

Look forward to hearing how you get on, good luck!!

Hey! Plenty of women conceive at 40 so you still have a chance!! When is your period due? Atleast we can all do the dreaded TWW together 😩🤣 x

hey!! So sorry to hear about your MMC, that must have been awful for you! I had a chemical pregnancy last cycle 😞 so literally going to do everything by the book to support implantation this month! I hope we both get our BFP this month. Will you test early? My period is due on the 5th and I want to try and rest on the 1st.... especially if I have implantation symptoms like last month!! X

Thanks @Angie2018 I’m sorry to hear about your chemical as well 😞 it’s sucks doesn’t it, but on we go!

Are you trying anything new this cycle? I read it starts with the egg this month which was interesting, but I think I pretty much do most of the basic stuff anyway. I’m being sure to eat extra healthy, take prenatal vitamins and cut out caffeine etc (although I did have a boozy night on Saturday to be fair!)

You probably think I’m crazy but I’m only going to test if I haven’t got my period by 8 July! I only want to see a nice strong line so no early testing for me, although I might be influenced by you and others on this thread, we’ll see! 🙈 x

@ChipAndDip yeah exactly onwards and upwards as we can't control Mother Nature eh!!

I may not text early, I might do if I get implantation symptoms at all. I normally know AF is coming by about 3-4 days before she's due anyway. My cervix position was a huge give away last cycle. It was high and squishy... by 4 days before AF normally comes for me it's low and hard and I know AF will come on time!!

I genuinely will be sad this months if it doesn't happen... I feel like we've done everything right.

Like you, we generally eat well and a balanced diet, not had a drink in months, one tea a day the rest decaf. Light exercise, yoga, walking etc. both on pregnacare vitamins. Used preseed once to try it Monday!

I feel like I'm invested this cycle... I really hope we both get our BFPs!! X

@Angie2018 Sounds like we’re really similar! I do yoga as well and taking Pregnacare. Using conceive plus rather than preseed, but I got pregnant with it that last time so thought might as well continue! That was probably just a fluke though 😂

Really hope it works out for you this month. Keep me updated on implantation symptoms etc! 🤞🤞 x

@ChipAndDip ah I will do and you keep me posted too!! Fingers crossed for us both!!

Yeah I try to keep myself well and healthy, but I do have days where I eat beige stuff and binge on chocolate but can't give everything up eh! My BMI is in the middle of the healthy range so I hope I am considered healthy.

I love yoga it's great for mind and body! I also do Pilates as well!! X

Hey! My period is due on 1st. Or there abouts. It can be available day or so early/late. I also always get spotting for up to a week before which I hate. I've had all my hormones checked and scans etc and apparently everything is fine so I try and not worry about it. It's annoying though as so many people talk about implantation bleeding and every month I think ooh maybe it's that! But I know it's not really. The one time i was briefly pregnant years ago (chemical) I didn't get any bleeding at all before I was due.

@Cofefefe I used to get light spotting 3-4 days before AF until I had my ectropian treated and then it stopped totally. It is normal though many women get it so I wouldn't worry! X

I’m also in the spotting crew! I think I’ve found my people 😂

@Cofefefe I spot for a week before AF as well, it’s so annoying because I never know when to date the first day of my cycle. And even more annoyingly when I had my MMC earlier this year I spotted for a week as usual so didn’t know I was pregnant for a while.

@Angie2018 I have ectropian as well. Did you ask for treatment or did your GP offer it?Mine used to be worse than it is now, but interesting to know if it ever comes back!

@ChipAndDip yeah I always start my period on the day of full flow I'm told the spotting doesn't count!

I had treatment years ago in 2016 when I only realised something was up when I used to have sex and I had a tiny bit of pink / red cone out after. So it was cauterised back then and interestingly I've never had any issues since until TTC. The only thing I know is that I was spotting before my period for about 4 days which seems to be common with those who have an ectropian.

I only realised it had come back when I started having sex more in Feb when we started trying and I started to spot / bleed after sex and it got worse really quick so I paid to see a private gynae who was amazing!

She said it was tiny and treated it with silver nitrate and I've never had any spotting before my period since! So I now know it was down to the ectropian.

She said as soon as I have a baby my cervix will renew and it will disappear but this should be effective and so far it has been.

She said it's not harmful in anyway and doesn't affect fertility it's just soft cells that get irritated.

@Angie2018 Thanks for all that info, really useful! Mine was diagnosed due to bleeding after sex as well, but luckily seems to have gone away by itself other than pre period spotting (for now) but will definitely look at treatment options if it comes back like that.

My GP also said that pregnancy hormones are likely to make it worse, so although it doesn’t have any impact on the pregnancy it might cause anxiety etc due to bleeding. I had constant spotting from 7dpo with my MMC which I assumed was due to erosion but could have been linked to the miscarriage. Really hoping when I fall again I have a bleed free pregnancy 🤞 x

@ChipAndDip yeah I think they can come and go. They aren't harmful just annoying!

Yes my gynae said the same that it may cause spotting when pregnant and so she said when I do fall I have to tell the midwife so they know I have an ectropian. Sorry about your MMC. It's so hard to know if it's the ectropian or something else, I guess any spotting when pregnant is a worry even if it's considered normal!! X

Hi! I've had three miscarriages the last one in March, 13 weeks with twins. Currently in the Tww. Tested this morning 7dpo (silly I know) convinced there is a line but not sure if it's evap or not. I know I need to wait until Sunday or Monday but it's so hard!!!

@Hopingforarainbow27 ahhhh I pray it's a positive! Can you post a picture? Sorry for all your miscarriages 😢 x

@Angie2018 thank you! I can't even get the camera to pick it up, that's how faint it is. It is definitely there but it could be an evap! I keep looking at it throughout the day to see if it's miraculously changed 🙆🏼‍♀️😂

@Hopingforarainbow27 it's so hard isnt it! I kept doing that after my chemical last month!! I feel fed up today tbh.... xx

I'm being so obsessive today. In January when I found out I was pregnant I waited until after my period was due. I just told myself I wasn't pregnant but this month is the first month trying since the miscarriage and I am going crazy and I just think even if it is positive it doesn't mean baby at the end either :( @Angie2018 your not alone!

@Hopingforarainbow27 exactly even if you get the BFP the worry kicks in anyway!! 🙈

Yeah totally feel like I'm going crazy too.

I'm sitting here googling things that make no sense at all.

Did you have sore boobs after ovulation with your last pregnancy?

I've got it in my head that as my boobs didn't hurt after ovulation last month as normal, and I did fall, that it means that if I get sore boobs at all after ovulation this month it means I am out 😞 Xx

@Angie2018 so true!! Yes I did but last time they weren't that sore. Just a bit if I squeezed them. I've been squeezing mine today and they aren't that sore tbh, like 1/10 lol!!! Last time they were maybe 6/10 at 7dpo!

Oh dear help us!!! What are we like!! What dpo are you!? My husband is away with work so it's all I can think about and im off today and I can't even concentrate to watch a series or anything!

So sorry to hear of your losses @Hopingforarainbow27 and I really hope this is your month.

I’m in the two week wait - period due a week on Sunday (3rd) so in theory I can test Tuesday but I’m going to TRY to show some self control!

@Hopingforarainbow27 oh my god you sound like me!!

It's all I can't think about, I just sit on here, Google stuff, symptom spot.... it's really hard.

Ok good to know yours were only a bit after ovulation when you got pregnant. I think mine are a 1/10 as well, hoping it doesn't increase until after implantation timescales lol.

I am 3dpo now so got until atleast Monday before I start to feel anything if anything. I didn't implant last cycle until 10dpo so hoping if I have conceived that it's earlier than last time.

X

@Mycatslife thank you! I have no self control this time!! Coming on here helps though!

@Angie2018 how did you know that you implanted 10dpo? Just wondering! Also did u use opk this month? We only dtd on the smiley day so hopefully it was enough. I've actually got palpitations now 🤦🏽‍♀️ need to go for a walk!

@Hopingforarainbow27 so I basically had headaches for two days, serious bloating and strange bowel movements like they didn't know what they wanted to do, very mild cramping, one day of a few wipes of light red blood, then two days of watery brown a couple of wipes. It matches with many implantation symptoms online. I also went off my food, didn't fancy a thing! Totally not like me! Then two days later I started say dreaming of lychees like I wanted to eat them so bad 🤣🤣

I did use OPKs and I have tracked my BBT this month and did SMEP so I hope it works!!

I am sure it is enough, it only takes 1!! X
