1-2 DPO time to TWW 31.10.2022

[Peeonastick22]

Hey hey, making this thread to lead on from last months. I’m 1 or 2 dpo today and I’m going to try and not symptom spot this month!! Also going to try my best to not test until 12dpo at the earliest!

what DPO are you all?

@Wrenegade ohhh that's a bit rough but it'll be totally worth it in the end...

I am unsure when ovulation happened as didn't test at my parents so I'm just gonna wing it and see what happens, according to the app I'm 5DPO predicted... I definitely ovulated around Christmas time somewhere 😂 we have DTD regularly enough I think, time will tell!

Fingers crossed for everyone's BFP!!!!

@Wrenegade I'm now 11+3 and most symptoms have disappeared! So hang on in there, it does get better!

Sending everyone waiting for their BFP lots of luck and happy new year!

@anon1411 Agree with the advice to take a test, just in case - it's possible to have a bleed that looks like a period, but isn't. Fingers crossed for you!

@AROSE9 Wow, CD76! That does sound very long, but they say it can take months for your periods to settle down after coming off the pill. Definitely go back to the GP if it doesn't improve though. 12DPO is a reasonable time to test I think, most of us don't manage to hold out for that long!

Good luck to @PPop and @Emmalou0607 in their TWW, not too long to go now!

@Wrenegade My former cycle buddy, somehow we're pretty much synced up again - I'm 7W2D today (although in reality I suspect a bit behind that, as I ovulated late). I'm so sorry you're feeling so rough, that sounds horrendous. I've been ok until the last few days when the nausea has really kicked in, but so far I've only actually been sick once. Does the medication help with the nausea itself, or just the vomiting? I'm pretty much just mainlining carbs all day to try and keep it at bay, and dreading going back to work this week.

@MillieKitty So glad things are ok with you, and you're nearly at the 12-week mark!

@PPop it is ok if you didn’t test, it sounds like you were DTD regularly over the fertile period and that is the most important part. How exciting, keep us updated on how you’re getting on.

@MillieKitty gosh time has gone so quickly, I can’t believe you’re already 11 weeks + 3 ( exactly four weeks ahead of me). I’m so pleased to hear your symptoms have eased, it gives me hope. Do you have your 12 week scan booked yet?

@Mortima it will be interesting to see when we have our scans what the little beans are dated at. Especially when we test and track, and have quite a solid idea of when we ovulated. I sometimes wonder if I’m a bit further a long based on the strong positive at 9dpo and developing symptoms a few days earlier than they’re expected. It’s lovely to have you as a pregnancy buddy now. I’m really glad your nausea and sickness hasn’t been too intense. It helps me with nausea as well as sickness, I take 5mg three times a day and know when it is wearing off.

@Wrenegade scan is booked for the 12th when I'll be past 13 weeks so good in a way that we will see more hopefully but also annoying I have to wait longer 😂 time goes so slow in the first trimester doesn't it?!

Hey guys, unfortunately today has taken a turn - no bleeding, but I've had severe abdominal pain to one side since late morning, and vomited several times. Went to A&E and now admitted to hospital overnight, waiting for a scan in the morning. It's looking like an ectopic at the moment, but obviously need the scan to confirm.

At the moment I'm just grateful to be in hospital and getting some pain relief - I was dreading being sent home to wait, it would have been unbearable. The emotional impact will have to wait.

This year can only get better, hopefully

Oh @Mortima I'm so sorry to read this. Glad you are in the right place with pain meds and being looked after though. Do you know when you'll have the scan to confirm?

Sending you lots of hugs

@Mortima I'm so so sorry to hear this, I'm glad you're in the right place and will be cared for, sending lots of love to you x

Oh @Mortima I’m so sorry to read this also. You’ve absolutely done the right thing, I’m glad that they are keeping you there and you’re being cared for. Sending lots of love 💕

Thanks for your kind words - I really appreciate it. I haven't told my parents or anyone until it's confirmed, so it's nice to tell someone about it (apart from DH of course, who has been wonderful)

@Mortima i hope your ok
I went into hospital at 6+4 with bad pain on one side and bleeding, thinking the worst, and then they found an 11cm cyst on my ovary but baby was fine and unaffected - now 14+2 and cysts has drained itself
everything crossed that you and baby are ok xxx

Oh gosh @Mortima I hope you are okay! Please update us when you can!

Sorry I didn't update yesterday - but thankfully, everything is fine!

EPU scanned me and baby is definitely in the right place, and they couldn't see anything else wrong with ovaries etc. Pain has also disappeared as quickly as it started, so I've no idea what it was - they suggested maybe stretching ligaments? They probably think I was just being dramatic, but it really was agony .
I'm so grateful, had really convinced myself it must be an ectopic. Thanks for everyone's kind words!

Oh that's such good news @Mortima really happy for you, such a relief!

Oh @Mortima I'm so so relieved! So happy everything is okay with bubba! 🥰

Ohhh thank goodness!! I thought of you yesterday and this morning and hoped all was okay! I'm so relieved for you, did they give you a rough idea of how far you are @Mortima ?

Such wonderful news @Mortima I’m so pleased it is ok. I was thinking of you yesterday, hope you’re feeling settled today.

So I think AF is due tomorrow (last 2 months luteal phase was 12 days 3 cycles prior were 11days - currently 12dpo) but. I did ovulate a couple of days earlier so cycle will be sorted than normal if it comes tomorrow.

Not sure I'm feeling too positive at the moment. Got no symptoms so I've sort of just settled with the idea it's not our month again

Got everything crossed for you @Emmalou0607

Fingers crossed for you@Emmalou0607 I'm on DPO 8 predicted as I'm not 100% sure when I ovulated this month. I'm amazed you have held off testing I'm already wondering if it's too early! 😂

Right on que as expected AF arrived this morning 😔

@Emmalou0607 sorry that AF came. How are you feeling about it?

I spent the night in an A&E ward, I’ve been diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum. I knew that the amount of sickness I was experiencing wasn’t a ‘normal’ amount. Feeling much better after the IV and sickness injections. Having a scan at the EPU tomorrow to check everything is ok with baby 🤞🏻 In the meantime I’m going to try get through today without being sick too much.

Not sure yet @Wrenegade it doesn't normally fully hit me till I tell my DH.

I think I'm going to pay for a private fertility MOT for both of us (no idea how long the wait times for that would be on the nhs as I doubt it would be a priority) although it's only 6 months of TTC and I'm 32, I have had quite a few major bowel surgeries all around the lower part of my stomach and have seen that there is possibility of this causing issues with fertility so I'd rather get started finding out if that is the case early on. At least if it's not an issue I can not stress about it and if it is, then we start making a plan sooner rather than later.

Glad your starting to feel better now you've had some treatment! Doesn't sound too pleasant for you. Keep everything crossed for as little sick as possible for you!

@Emmalou0607 So sorry AF came lovely - I think getting the fertility checks started now is a great idea given your medical history, hopefully it will give you some answers or put your mind at rest.

@Wrenegade Oh no, you poor thing! Glad you've got the diagnosis at least. We have a HG unit in my maternity hospital, and I'm hoping I won't need it (not vomiting excessively but the nausea is constant). I've got a different medication to try as Cyclizine did nothing for me - interested to know if the injection helps you. Best of luck at EPU tomorrow

So sorry @Emmalou0607 take care of yourself!

My sister sadly had another miscarriage 😞 I have said that she needs to get someone to have a look at her now as she is 37 but she seems to think she cannot get help until she's had 3! I feel awful for her!

Ohhh @Wrenegade hopefully they find something to ease that, I know someone who had that before and it did pass at around 12 weeks if that's any consolation!!
