Preparing to TTC in 2022 part....7?!

[Dreamingof3]

Finally realised that our previous thread was full 🤣 I hope no one minds me starting up a new one!

Can you believe it's been almost a year since this was all started up?!

@PinkButtercups I absolutely hate when your period comes back, seems like a real kick in the teeth 😂

I'm 36 weeks Sunday and feeling fully fed up already...I'm more uncomfortable now than I was overdue with my first who was a much bigger baby! I'm hoping that means things are going the right way but I also am starting to get anxious that I won't get my vbac 😭

@PinkButtercups I love your little twin updates 🥰 so tiny and precious!

@Dreamingof3 how on earth are you 36 weeks 😲 that’s gone SO quickly!! Although I bet at times it’s dragging for you!!

Ovulation day today and I’m in the worst mood! Super glum, exhausted and just like angry at my OH! I thought my hormones were suppose to make me feel good at this time of the month?!?

@Houseelf90 50% fastest pregnancy ever 50% slowest 😂 so ready for her to make her appearance now...or maybe in a week or so 😅

8dpo and feeling like I may have had implantation cramps yesterday! They lasted a little while, and were all down my right side and occasionally quite painful so I know I wasn’t making it up! I’m trying to ignore it and pretend it was nothing so I don’t get my hopes up but it’s so hard! I’m attempting to wait out AF which is due 26th 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

how is everyone else doing?

@BethSuz27 sounds promising good luck

I've another week until I'm allowed to dtd but no idea when I'll ovulate so will probs go back to dtd every 2nd day

Hi all 🖐
Nice to hear everyone's updates even though I don't have any myself.
4 weeks until our holiday! About 6-8 weeks until we're trying again.
We did 10 cycles fully trying and tracking, so will be going to docs requesting tests after 2-3 more cycles (so some time this summer).
I'm trying to stay "zen" and not be jealous / bitter about things. It's tough but just keep trying to count my blessings.

@Dreamingof3 36 weeks! You're nearly there!
I gave birth to the twins at 36 weeks and DS 38+3 so never gone to full term. Not long until you have your baby in your arms 🥰.
I forgot just how ugly your first period is! I went through a whole packet of pads the other day I used about 8 pads!

How come your anxious about not having your vbac? Try not to get too stressed lovely. I know it's easier said than done. I was convinced when I had the twins I'd have to have c-section when I'd preferred a vaginal birth like I did with DS and luckily I managed a vaginal birth with the twins so don't give up hope or try not to get too anxious. Even up until I went into the labour room there was 50/50 chance of having a c-section just like with any birth but I hope the odds are in your favour and you get the birth that you want x

Thank you @Houseelf90 🥰.

I feel a bit like I’ll never get a bfp, I’ve not done a test yet this cycle, I’m 9dpo, the only symptoms I’ve had is the weird cramps I had at 8dpo that were slightly painful and all on one side, and now I’m getting bad headaches most days no matter how much I drink, and I’ve got no energy, could I still have a BFP with barely any symptoms?

@BethSuz27 you could definitely still get a BFP with few or no symptoms. I don't think it means anything to have / not have symptoms. Some people don't get them at all and feel well for weeks. I've had loads of symptoms some months and still BFN.

@BethSuz27 I have never had any symptoms from ovulation for either of my pregnancies I don't even know when I ovulate because I have long irregular cycles so please don't focus on this

@BethSuz27 I never got symptoms until my period was late! First was missed period and then sore boobs

AF is 2 days late but not sure when to test. It can be a bit irregular usually so could be due anytime this week.

I did some early tests last week and BFN. .

@Welshgal85 could you test again on Wednesday ? that's another couple of days. I have no patience so wouldn't be able to wait much longer

@krissy12 yeah I may test again tomorrow. It’s hard to know what to do for the best as AF is sometimes anywhere between day 25 - 40 but usually around day 29/30 and it’s day 31 today

@Welshgal85 do you know when you ovulated? If it's been 2 weeks, I'd say by now should show a result, have you got early detection tests?

I tested high on OPK 2 weeks today then Weds will be 2 weeks since peak. I took 2 early tests end of last week but maybe that was too early to test?

@Welshgal85 I think that might have been too early

@krissy12 yeah maybe! Perhaps if I wait until Wednesday that will be 2 weeks since peak? I’m probably clutching at straws though!

@BethSuz27 the only symptoms I had was 1 or 2 days of feeling a bit off in the evenings for 1/2 hours. And that's both with my singleton and twin pregnancies.

@PinkButtercups @Dreamingof3 @krissy12 @LucyLoopyLu thankyou girls!
11dpo and BFN again today, feel like I’ve got sore nipples today (although could have been from my very tight sports bra) and I’ve had the slightest pink spotting on wiping, no symptoms of AF, not getting my hopes up because I know it could be AF though, I’m gonna wait out 14dpo which would be Friday, AF is due kinda between Friday and Sunday (app says Sunday but my last two cycles have been 27 and 29 days and Friday is CD29) I don’t even know anymore but getting so desperate and seeing people getting pregnant everywhere :(

@BethSuz27 I hope you get your BFP x

I think AF has shown her ugly head this morning :( onto cycle 7

sorry to hear this @BethSuz27

did you test @Welshgal85

@krissy12 I tested on Tuesday and BFN but still no AF! 🤷🏻‍♀️
