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?

Thank you @MillieKitty , the thought of being pregnant again is equally exciting as it is terrifying given the previous MCs! But then I know I have to be in it to win it so to speak so no choice but to keep trying! How are you feeling?

@Mortima so hard to believe that for yourself isn’t it! I always say it to everyone else and then when it’s me I’m negative Nelly!

My body is playing so many tricks on me this cycle! Haven’t started spotting yet today and have EWCM- very unusual but still negative tests 11/12 dpo

I’m officially out, AF turned up with vengeance this morning a day early. I must be strange but I’m so grateful to get it over and done with. My temp still hasn’t dropped, so chalking it up to my body potentially fighting off a bug.

I’m considering a laid back approach this cycle, no temping, no LH testing and stressing. I think my stress levels are a problem.

Now 10DPO! I got a spot on my forehead yesterday debating if this is AF coming 😬

I have never been pregnant so nothing to compare to but all the aches and discomfort have gone for the most part...

Sorry to hear @Peeonastick22 but yes now you can mentally move on to the next cycle, laid back approach sounds good, this cycle was the first time I stopped using the digital ovulation sticks but it seemed to work 😆

@HJA87 ah im okay but it's horrible being pregnant after a loss isn't it, just can't relax, every time I feel any "moistness" I have to run to the toilet to check

@Wrenegade sorry to hear that! I’m definitely going to do the same next cycle and be more laid back!

And I completely understand being relieved, I will be too if AF arrives

@Wrenegade So sorry AF has come and is giving you a hard time - trying to reduce the stress and go with the flow might be a good thing, you've had a difficult week I think. I think it's already been said, but just think, today might be the day you end up calculating your EDD from 🤞

Still holding out hope for the rest of you 🙂

@Wrenegade I'm sorry to hear that, understand the mentally being able to move on part though.

Caved and tested and was totally white 11dpo so guessing I'm probably out. Not sure if AF if going to come tomorrow (LP is normally 11days but I ovulated earlier this month) or if cycle will still be the same length as normal and have to wait longer to have that confirmation

Big hugs to everyone who is still a BFN I'm still awaiting my BFP I think, got a spot on my forehead and one coming up on my chin which usually means AF is coming so I'm feeling particularly moody today!

I did realise I have a potential situation, my sister had a MC a few months ago, I think she will still be trying also. We haven't discussed that we are both trying I'm making a guess. I keep hoping she announces before I do, but at the same time don't want to delay on mine! This could be a potential minefield 🫣 I love her dearly and the MC was traumatic.

@PPop that is a tough situation but at the same time you can't not announce when you want to in fear of upsetting her, I'm sure she will be happy for you ❤️

I know @MillieKitty I feel like I just completely braindumped last night! Sorry!

@PPop when will you test again? 🤗

@MillieKitty I am thinking Saturday? I bought some more early detection by w company called conceive plus, not sure if they are any good! These days feel so long!
How you getting on? How you feeling?

@PPop oooo exciting! I'm good thanks, I'm in bed by 8 every night and have a lot of tummy aches but all good 😂

@MillieKitty any other symptoms? Or is it like cramping tummy aches?

@PPop it's a mix of cramps and like a trapped wind kind of feeling! Nausea hasn't hit yet but I'm sure it will, I envy women who get no symptoms 😂

@Peeonastick22 I feel like as soon as AF shows up, time speeds up too. Can’t believe I’m CD 3 already. If this was the TWW it would have felt like an eternity so I appreciate how you are feeling. The hope and optimism is coming back for a new cycle. How are you today? Any signs of AF?

@Mortima That is a lovely way to think about CD1, it made me smile! Definitely looking at ways to reduce stress over the coming weeks and reduce pressure on the process. How are you? Have you developed any new symptoms?

@Emmalou0607 sorry that there wasn’t a BFP, it is still quite early to test. Do you have any symptoms? I read that LP tend to stay the same and the rest of the cycle adjusts but ofc our bodies don’t tend to listen to the rules.

@Wrenegade its crazy how quick it goes once AF shows up! Can’t wait for mine to show! Due tomorrow but still no sign, weird that I spotted 3 days ago and then it stopped but bodies can be strange hey! Still negative tests though so I’m counting myself out- fingers crossed AF isn’t late so I can start a new cycle ASAP!

glad you’re getting some hope back for a new cycle 🥰

@PPop It is kind to think of your sister, but please don't feel bad at all about your own TTC journey - you can't delay your own life for everyone else. Cross that bridge when you come to it - fingers crossed for you testing this weekend.

@Wrenegade Glad time is speeding up a bit for you - it does feel good to draw a line under a cycle and move on. I'm well thanks, no significant symptoms at the moment, just struggling to focus on work and trying to take each day as it comes!

@Peeonastick22 @Emmalou0607 Sorry about the BFNs - hope you get some resolution soon, one way or another

@Mortima thank you! I spoke with DH about it and he said quite rightly she wouldn't expect us to stop or adjust our lives so we should carry on! I just hope (maybe a little selfishly) that it doesn't dampen my families spirits either way it does happen knowing someone else is waiting... I'm sure it won't but yeah I am apparently just overthinking everything as per usual.

@Mortima no symptoms but no normal pms symptoms either so a bit confused. Only thing is I do feel like my hormones / emotions are all over the place but that also could just be the result of a stressful week 😩

Looks like AF is well and truly on the way! Cramps and blood stained CM

looking at the positive side, my birthday is coming up and it will be nice to have a drink!

Also I’m actually supposed to ovulate on my birthday this cycle! Will be a sweet bday present if I conceive

Been having cramps and a bit of bleeding this evening 😪Can't see that this is going to end well

@Mortima hope you are okay :(

@Mortima im sorry I hope you’re ok :(
